It was rare to see Ye Sisi so serious, so everyone straightened their expressions, even the alluring woman who had been lazily leaning against the tree stood up straight.
"The spirit of the Vermilion Bird just told me something: our Azure Realm was not originally a lower plane with sparse spiritual energy, but a part of an upper plane. We were separated from it."
Seeing the incredulous expressions on everyone's faces, Ye Sisi continued, "And that phoenix egg was originally a dead egg."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock, feeling as if their worldviews were about to crumble. How could it be a dead egg? The phoenix egg had been so arrogant just moments before.
Ye Sisi continued, "Cangjing was originally one of the four major domains of the upper plane, possessing a primordial spiritual vein. However, in order to send equipment to the chosen one of destiny, the ruler above forcibly dropped down a phoenix egg that should not have appeared in the lower plane. But something went wrong along the way, and the phoenix egg died in the womb. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao drained the only primordial spiritual vein that Cangjing possessed in order to nourish the phoenix egg."
Suddenly, the alluring woman said, "Junior nephew, your logic is flawed. You've already said that the phoenix egg is dead, so how can it be nourished?"
Ye Sisi took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, saying, "You can't imagine how crazy that person is. The Vermilion Bird Spirit that just appeared is the spirit of that innate spiritual vein. The Heavenly Dao not only forcibly stripped the Vermilion Bird Spirit's spiritual fortune to that dead egg, but also wiped out all the bird races in the Cang Realm that possessed divine beast bloodlines, all in order to use their essence and spiritual fortune to revive this dead egg. This is also why there are still dragon descendants in the Cang Realm, but no phoenix descendants."
"Due to the gradual depletion of the innate spiritual veins, the innate primordial energy of the Azure Realm has been completely exhausted, and its spiritual power has become increasingly thin, thus transforming it into a lower plane that even Nascent Soul cultivators cannot afford."
"If the phoenix egg hadn't been killed this time, the Vermilion Bird's spirit would have been completely devoured. But even if the Vermilion Bird's spirit escaped, its innate spiritual veins would have been exhausted. Unless it could return to the upper plane one day, the Azure Realm would forever remain a lower plane with scarce spiritual energy."
Meng Tianyuan and the others were completely stunned.
To be honest, it took Ye Sisi a long time to process such explosive news, so it's no wonder that these native cultivators couldn't accept it for a while.
Su Jiuli took a deep breath and asked, "Why did Heaven do this? And why was the Cang Realm separated?"
"Because of the great war between humans and demons ten thousand years ago, apart from the Cang Realm at that time, the other three regions were invaded by the demons. In order to protect the last piece of pure land, the Heavenly Dao forcibly separated the Cang Realm, but the Heavenly Dao also created two wills as a result."
Ye Sisi had previously guessed that there might be two Heavenly Daos in this world, and it wasn't until the Vermilion Bird Spirit told her everything that her guess was completely confirmed. This also explains why she was sometimes targeted and sometimes blessed.
Bai Luochen pointed to the sky and said, "Junior Sister, aren't you afraid it will strike you dead after saying all this?"
Ye Sisi shrugged: "Do you think I'm scared?"
Bai Luochen remained silent. His junior sister was protected by the Heavenly Dao, and she had already finished speaking without being struck by lightning.
Ouyang Yanyu asked, "Junior Sister, what about these two Heavenly Daos? What exactly is their situation?"
Ye Sisi shook her head: "The Vermilion Bird Spirit didn't say, after all, it was separated ten thousand years ago. But after my analysis, there are only two possibilities: one, the two Heavenly Daos want to merge, but both want to be the boss and neither is willing to submit to the other; two, one wants to go it alone, but the other won't allow it. And I and the so-called Chosen One are just pawns in their game. Perhaps they are evenly matched, so they need to use us to achieve some of their own goals. Of course, these are all just my guesses. Although I think it's pretty much right, it's just a guess after all."
The others also agreed that Ye Sisi's words made sense, but only Tiandao himself knew what he was really thinking.
Ye Shubai suddenly said, "Junior Sister, do you think there might be a third possibility, that one of the Heavenly Daos is no longer the same as before?"
Ye Sisi blinked, finding Ye Shubai's thinking quite unique, even more daring than hers. "You mean the Heavenly Dao has been possessed?"
The others were also stunned. Could something like the Heavenly Dao really be possessed? What were they thinking? Weren't their imaginations running wild?
Ye Shubai shook his head: "The Heavenly Dao should not be able to be possessed, but what if it is corrupted? For example, they can split into two wills, and this happened during the war between humans and demons. Could it be that one of the Heavenly Daos was corrupted by the Heavenly Dao of the demon race at that time? Otherwise, why would that evil Heavenly Dao torment the Cang Realm like this? Isn't that courting death? It also contradicts their original intention to protect the Cang Realm."
Ye Sisi pondered. Ye Shubai's words seemed to make a lot of sense. The Heavenly Dao split the Cangjing in the first place to preserve this last pure land. So, regardless of whether their wills split or not, their original intention must be the same. The Heavenly Dao that drained the entire innate spiritual vein for a phoenix egg seemed like a scourge. This didn't make sense unless something went wrong with it. Perhaps it really was corrupted!
Sure enough, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang; her thinking alone was not comprehensive enough.
But no matter what problems have arisen in the Heavenly Dao, she doesn't want to care about them right now; she just wants to give up. What can she do?
Ye Sisi slumped down as she thought about it; she just felt so tired.
Su Jiuli and the others exchanged glances, all thinking that Ye Sisi was frightened by the complicated situation, so they quickly offered words of comfort.
"Junior sister, don't worry. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. No matter what, we're here for you."
"Yes, yes, we'll always be there for you."
"Moreover, we cannot interfere with the current natural order. We should just do our best and have a clear conscience."
"That's right, junior sister, don't put so much pressure on yourself. Just have fun when you want to, and deal with things when they come up. We'll always support you."
Ye Sisi smiled slightly as she listened to these words. Yes, she had gotten herself into a mess.
She had a script and knew the ending for Meng Tianyuan and the others, which is why she felt there wasn't enough time and was afraid that her master or one of her senior brothers would be gone if she was a little late.
Moreover, she never intended to be a savior in the first place; she just wanted to live, to let the people she cared about live, and to survive until the end of the story and see if she could go back.
Cough cough, although it seems that a savior is not needed now, and even if something big happens, what can she do with just a little golden core?
As long as she acts with a clear conscience and does not lose the pride and faith of the Chinese people, that is enough. As for the path that Heaven has led her to and the life that has been arranged for her, why should she choose to walk it?
