Volume 3, Chapter 76 He was once the Immortal King.
As the old man used his magical powers again, the two of them appeared again in the sea of stars where they had appeared before.
At that time, Ye Tingmu was still young, and was just an ordinary mortal. He could not see through the mystery here, nor did he know where this place was.
But today, Ye Tingmu is already infinitely close to immortality. With a glance, nothing can escape his gaze.
Looking out from this place, beyond the boundless starry sky, he saw three great roads of the world.
This angle is just right for looking down.
The old man danced with his long sleeves, the sea of stars moved, and a chessboard fell.
The two men respected each other and sat on the empty table.
"Young friend, please!"
"Senior is the elder, so he should go first. Please go first, senior."
The old man held his long beard with his hand, slightly narrowing his eyes, but did not refuse.
With a flick of his fingertips, he placed the white piece on the chessboard. Ye Tingmu followed suit and placed a piece in the middle of the chessboard.
Thousands of years later, the two sat together again, same place, same people, but a different start.
Back then, making a move meant victory; now, making a move means remembering.
For Ye Tingmu, making the move was just a procedure, and he just wanted to express his gratitude to the old man in this way.
If as Hei Bai mentioned, his master, the old man in front of him, has existed longer than Su Changge. In their dimension, the old man has been born for over a billion years. When he fell into a deep sleep, his master had disappeared when he woke up.
If you think about it carefully, the old man has been here for hundreds of millions of years and has always been alone. It is not difficult to imagine that kind of loneliness. Perhaps instead of giving the other person something, it is better to give the other person the companionship they want.
Of course the most straightforward thing to do is to take him away from here.
But now it seems too early to think about this.
As Zi Luo fell, the two remained silent, but Ye Tingmu was the first to break the silence.
"Senior, I have something I don't understand. Could you please explain it to me?"
"Can."
"Why were you placed here in the first place, and how long have you stayed here?"
Hei Bai had lost some of his memories due to sleeping for too long. Whenever he mentioned something, the look of wasted time in his eyes would catch his eye. If possible, he wanted to clear up his confusion, and naturally, his own confusion as well.
The old man held the ball, thought for a moment, then gently let it fall, sparkling with thousands of starlights.
Then he spoke slowly, his tone calm and without any disturbance.
"To be honest, I can't remember how long I've been here. Billions, tens of billions, I can't remember. Maybe, it's been a long time anyway..." He continued speaking with a calm look in his eyes.
"As for why I'm here, it's a long story..."
The old man fell into reminiscence and began to tell his own story, and the pieces in his hand became aimless at this moment.
Here's the story.
In the distant star road, there was a place called the Realm of Immortality, a long, long time ago.
In a continent of the Immortal Realm, there was a loud bang in the sky and a child was born.
It opened his legendary and brilliant life...
The young man did not know how high the sky was, and only wanted to become the king.
In middle age, he finally got what he wanted and became the supreme king of the immortal world, realizing his dream of being a king.
Later, he traveled around the world and met a woman. He fell in love with her at first sight and promised to be with her for life.
Later, the woman broke through the realm of the Great Emperor, but encountered an accident and was defeated by the twelve heavenly thunders. Therefore, the man drew his sword and cut off the thunder disaster.
The heavens were enraged and sent down thunder as punishment. He mobilized all the power of the Immortal Realm to fight against the thunder and punishment, and ultimately won.
But at this time, the girl had already died under the punishment of thunder, and countless lives had died fighting for her.
The man was furious and vowed to kill all the gods with his own hands, so he went further and further on the path of cultivation.
Break through the realm of the Immortal Lord, set foot on the Eternal Immortal Realm, find the eternal treasure, break through immortality, and establish one of the five immortal holy clans in the world.
Then, over the long course of time, the man conquered eternity and became the immortal king.
The Immortal King was originally a believer in the Heavens, but the man hated the Heavens and was destined to fight them to the death.
He stepped out of the sea of stars, walked to the end of the star road, and stepped into that chaotic world.
There, he fought against the gods, but was unfortunately defeated and imprisoned there.
As for why the man was defeated, it was because he was concerned about the lives of his people and was unwilling to surrender...
The ending of this story is sad, but the process is magnificent.
The birth of a myth and the rise of a generation of powerful men.
From an ordinary boy to the most powerful master of all things in the world.
This long process was only because of a divine punishment and a rebellion.
This is the old man’s story, and the protagonist in the story shines brightly and illuminates all living beings.
The protagonist is the old man himself.
Ye Tingmu listened very carefully the whole time. When he heard about the Heavenly Punishment, his eyebrows raised slightly. The two of them were surprisingly similar in some ways. He himself had also experienced the Heavenly Punishment before.
Now that I think about it, maybe all of this is connected in some way.
But when he heard the last part, his brows were tightly knitted together.
Especially when he heard about the Immortal Saint Clan and the Immortal King, he was completely stunned.
His eyes were wide open, and his calm heart, after thousands of years of peace, was once again in turmoil.
He looked at the old man in front of him, over and over again.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that the old man in front of you was actually the Immortal King.
If he had not heard it with his own ears, how could he have imagined that the master mentioned by Hei Bai, the person who once guided him, was actually the Immortal King and founded the Immortal Holy Clan?
Although he knew early on that the old man's realm was that of an immortal existence, he also knew that the old man in front of him was not simple.
But he really didn't expect that the old man was once the Immortal King and ruled over the Eternal Immortal Realm. Such news was shocking to him.
It was also shocking.
Of course, there are also puzzles that follow. If the old man in front of him is really the former Immortal King, then the time he has existed is definitely not just the one billion years mentioned by Hei Bai.
It must have existed for a longer time, because the old man also said that he once founded an immortal holy clan.
The Frost Dragon once mentioned to him that the Undead Clan was the last to be promoted to the Immortal Saint Clan, and that their Undead Clan had existed for tens of billions of years.
So if what the old man in front of him said was true, then he must have existed for tens of billions of years, at least.
He muttered to himself, could it be that he had been mistaken from the beginning? This old man actually had nothing to do with black and white.
It's just my own speculation. Preconceived ideas led to misjudgment. This is the only way to understand it. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense and it doesn't match what Hei Bai said at all.
The old man naturally noticed his abnormality and probably guessed what he was thinking, so he just smiled.
"Why, does it feel unreal, or..."
Ye Tingmu nodded first, then shook his head, and then thought for a long time, but the black piece in his hand still did not fall.
After a while, he spoke.
"There are five immortal holy clans in eternity: the Clan of Heaven, the Clan of Earth, the Beastmaster Clan, the Elves Clan, and the Undead Clan." He paused here and continued, "May I ask which clan you have established?"
