Interestingly, these ten golden crows were unaware that Chen Xuan's divine sense had infiltrated their ranks.
Furthermore, they secretly eavesdropped on their telepathic communication!
"So, in other words, there is no Supreme Being in this first trial?"
"So, should I take action, capture those ten golden crows, and ask them what exactly the Desolate Heavenly Venerable negotiated with the Heavens back then?"
Chen Xuan muttered to himself, stroking his chin as if deep in thought.
Others have no idea what he's thinking; if they did, they'd probably be dumbfounded.
Is this guy crazy? He actually wants to attack those ten golden crows?
"Forget it. There's an array left by the Golden Crow Clan's Supreme Being here. I don't even know if there's a Supreme Dao Artifact. If there is, I'm afraid I'll suffer a great loss."
After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Xuan finally gave up the idea.
After all, if there really is a Supreme Dao Artifact, the combined efforts of ten Quasi-Supreme Great Perfection Golden Crows could fully awaken the spirit of the Supreme Dao Artifact.
Chen Xuan is still far from being a match for Supreme-level power.
So, let's just be honest.
Besides, this is the first hurdle of the Emperor's Path. Chen Xuan hasn't figured out the patterns of the Emperor's Path yet, so it's better to keep a low profile to avoid capsizing.
After all, the incident with the Insect Lord's Mark last time taught him a lesson.
"Chen Xuan, look!"
Just as Chen Xuan decided not to attack the ten golden crows, Dugu Rou suddenly jumped down from the wooden post, came to Chen Xuan's side, and whispered something.
"What are you looking at?"
Chen Xuan opened his eyes and found that the two of them were very close. Dugu Rou was almost touching him, and he could smell her fragrance.
"Did you see those winged creatures?"
Dugu Rou rolled her eyes and subtly pointed her finger in a certain direction.
Chen Xuan looked in the direction she pointed and saw a group of about fifty people with white wings in the distance, belonging to the Heavenly Realm.
At the same time, there was also a group of people with black wings, about fifty in total.
Over a thousand people came from the heavens, and these winged creatures made up a full ten percent of them.
Ninety-five of them had six wings on their backs.
There are five more people, but only four wings.
"Those must be the angels from heaven."
Chen Xuan spoke, a look of confusion on his face, and asked, "Why are some angels' wings white, and some black?"
Dugu Rou nodded slightly and explained, "The white ones are holy angels, and the black ones are fallen angels."
“Since the Age of the Boundary Sea, the Angel race has been divided into two lineages: the Holy Angels, similar to the righteous path among humans, and the Fallen Angels, similar to the demonic cult.”
Chen Xuan said "Oh," and then asked, "Which is more powerful, the holy angel or the fallen angel? Also, which lineage does your mother belong to?"
Dugu Rou rolled her eyes and said, "Of course the Holy Angel lineage is more powerful. My mother is from the Holy Angel lineage."
"Since the Age of the Boundary Sea, the holy angels and the fallen angels have been at odds, because the fallen angels have always wanted to control the discourse of the angel race and they want to obtain the heart of the angel."
As she spoke, Dugu Rou suddenly touched her left chest with the palm of her right hand.
This heart is the heart of an angel!
"The Holy Angels are stronger, so why are there only fifty of them? That's the same number as the Fallen Angels," Chen Xuan asked in surprise.
Dugu Rou was slightly taken aback. What she said made sense.
In her mind, the holy angels were far stronger than the fallen angels, completely overwhelming them.
If we divide the slots according to strength, the Celestial Realm allocates one hundred slots to the Angel race, so the Holy Angel lineage should be able to get at least eighty slots.
There are at most twenty fallen angels.
Why are the numbers on both sides the same now?
"I understand now. It must be because your mother stole the Angel's Heart and the Blessing of Heaven, allowing the Fallen Angels to use this to force the Holy Angels to make concessions."
After a moment's thought, Chen Xuan smiled.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Rou found it reasonable and nodded in agreement.
"By the way, why don't you have wings?"
Chen Xuan suddenly looked at Dugu Rou's back. He had known her for so many years and had never seen wings on her back before.
Isn't it said that angels all have wings?
Does that mean there aren't any mixed-race children?
Dugu Rou rolled her eyes, wanting to poke Chen Xuan's eyes with two fingers. Where do dead people look?
"Only pure-blooded angels have wings."
She said irritably.
"Aren't there any mixed-race children?" Chen Xuan asked.
Dugu Rou… “It depends on whose bloodline is stronger. If the bloodline of the angel race is stronger, then there will be one. If the bloodline of the alien race is stronger, then there won’t be one. However, throughout history, there have been few races whose bloodlines have been stronger than the bloodlines of the angel race.”
"Actually, I originally had it too, but my father's bloodline was not as good as that of the angels, even after he became the Supreme Being."
"But my father refined my and my brother's wings, so my brother and I both have two scars on our backs."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's eyes lit up: "Really? Seeing is believing. Take off your clothes and let me see before I believe you."
Dugu Rou immediately threw a punch at him, shouting, "Die!"
Chen Xuan immediately dodged away.
"Don't run!"
Dugu Rou immediately caught up, seemingly unwilling to give up until she beat him up.
What happened next left many people speechless.
He ran, she chased, and the two circled around the dozens of meters long log, both moving at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
However, it was obvious that Chen Xuan was teasing Dugu Rou.
Because every time Dugu Rou was about to catch up with him, he would suddenly accelerate and widen the distance, so Dugu Rou was always just a little short of being able to hit him!
"What...what's going on?"
"Isn't it said that the faster you go here, the greater the pressure? Why are these two able to run without any hindrance?"
Many people looked like they'd seen a ghost.
There is a supreme formation beneath their feet!
Logically speaking, this supreme formation should oppress everyone equally.
Everyone else can only walk at a steady pace, so why can you two run?
Actually, there have always been people who could run.
For example, Dong Zun can run when participating in the Emperor's Road.
However, you can only run for a short time, such as about ten breaths, before you have to rest because of the excessive energy expenditure.
However, Chen Xuan and Dugu Rou ran around the trees dozens of times, and neither of them showed any signs of fatigue. They were still chasing each other!
