High in the sky, where the human warriors were charging, stood several figures. Among them was a young man who was shirtless and exuded a powerful aura. Strangely, despite the intense battle, he did not make a move and just stared at the sky with a hint of worry.
King without beginning!
Having seen the portraits of the Nine Kings, Shen recognized the young man as Wushi King, one of the Nine Kings in his youth. Following Wushi King's gaze upwards, he saw flowing black mist appearing and disappearing in the sky above the battlefield.
These black fogs are exactly the same as the "black fog" that appeared during the recent weather changes.
From the perspective of the King of No Beginning, Shen Qian could also see that deep within the bodies of those warriors of the Power Clan, there was also a faint black mist swirling around.
"All races have long been subtly corrupted by the 'Heavenly Dao' without their knowledge. In their eyes, the human race is one that must be eradicated, and the 'Primordial Land' is the only place with the hope of achieving supreme power. But in reality, all of this is merely a manifestation of the will of the Heavenly Dao."
The Demon King's voice rang in Shen Qian's ears.
"So that's how the 'gate' came about. The 'Heavenly Dao' knew Nuwa's intention in creating the human race, but she couldn't directly destroy the human race. However, she could provide a passage for all races."
He sighed before sinking down.
"Indeed, although the 'Three Suns Obscuring the Sun' formation led by the White Emperor further obscures Earth's coordinates, Earth cannot ultimately exist independently of dimensions. The main gate is closed, but 'windows' will always remain around it."
"Is it possible that even the 'Way of Heaven' cannot act with impunity and must abide by the rules it sets for itself?"
Shen Qian asked curiously, but he vaguely felt that this should be the reasonable one.
Otherwise, if the "Heavenly Dao" was determined to destroy the human race, even if the "Primordial Land" could not be located, it would be unlikely to be able to stop her.
“I’ve had similar speculations, and it should be so. After all, the ‘Way of Heaven’ is theoretically omnipresent. It’s possible that Nuwa entered the end alone, and it was ultimately limited to her in some way that allowed the Earth to continue to this day,” the Demon King agreed.
Shen Qian withdrew from the memories of King Wushi, and under the guidance of the Demon King, found the memory mirror belonging to King Zhouyi.
Upon reaching out and touching it, the mist appeared and then dissipated, leaving Shen Qian stunned in place.
Because he... didn't see anything.
"Did King Zhou Yi leave nothing behind?" Shen Qian asked in surprise.
"Yes." The Demon King's tone was also somewhat strange. "I personally took action at the time. With their level of cultivation, they couldn't possibly have blocked my magic. But King Zhou Yi was indeed not stripped of any memories. There is only one possibility."
"Which one?" Chen Qian asked intently.
“He truly has no strong memories related to the ‘Heavenly Dao,’ in other words… he doesn’t care.” The Demon King’s expression grew increasingly strange.
"He doesn't care?" Shen Qian never expected such an answer. "Why?"
"Perhaps it's because he controls the way of destiny, and his 'way' leads him to choose to go with the flow. This is also Wen Yuan's guess, which is why he has always been wise to protect himself."
The Demon King frowned and said, "There is another possibility: he has his own way of dealing with this... Although it is unlikely, for some reason, I am more inclined to believe it."
Shen Qian also frowned.
This means that either King Zhou of Zhou was indeed without desires or ambitions, or he had a greater scheme to evade assimilation by the "Way of Heaven".
From Chen Qian's own perspective, he also leaned more towards the second one. Nonsense, if Zhou Yi Wang really decided to go with the flow, why would he go to such lengths to plot and seize the "secret" within himself?
"In short, King Zhouyi is not a simple person. Due to the special nature of his 'Dao', even the Great Emperor cannot see through his thoughts. You must be extremely careful when dealing with him."
The Demon King cautioned, "There's something else you might not know: among the original nine kings, King Zhou Yi had already become a Martial King long ago, unlike the other eight kings who were only granted their titles by heaven in this chaotic land."
"What?" Shen Qian was startled.
"Although he concealed it well, and did indeed experience another complete Heavenly Seal by manipulating fate, I still noticed it."
The Demon King smiled faintly, "However, at that time your human race was in dire straits and needed the nine kings to work together, so I did not expose him. I only reminded the White Emperor later."
Shen Qian digested the information, which meant that King Zhou Yi might have been King Wu thousands of years ago, but he had been hiding and scheming.
The White Emperor made the two-hundred-year agreement because he knew that King Zhou Yi had impure intentions...
Hmm, could it be that even the White Emperor wasn't truly confident in killing King Zhou Yi, and thus had no choice but to bind King Zhou Yi through a treaty?
Shen Qian thought about it more and more and more likely, because the White Emperor was a person who had once caused a great disturbance in the Heavenly Palace. He was not so mild-mannered. If he was thinking about the human race, there was no reason for him to spare King Zhou Yi's life. In any case, King Zhou Yi had not done anything of importance in the past two hundred years, and the human race had not been affected.
If we think about it this way, just how terrifying is the true strength of the King of Zhou Yi?
Shen Qian had already overestimated Zhou Yi Wang enough, but the more he learned about him, the more chills ran down his spine.
But then he thought about the "Heavenly Dao" boss looming ahead, and Chen Qian felt that having too much debt to bear was not a bad thing.
By the way, the threat from all races hasn't been resolved yet. What if the Witch Emperor also revives...?
"Grandmaster, what is the strength of the Witch Emperor?"
It's a rare opportunity to communicate with a top-tier expert who has witnessed the entire history firsthand, so I won't miss any helpful information before I go.
"The Witch Emperor... He was the second person after me to reach the peak of the Great Emperor, but I don't know how he fell."
