"I have no shortcuts to tell you," Tianyi said calmly. "However, your actions are closely related to the survival of the Celestial Clan. I just don't want your behavior to harm the order of my Celestial Clan or affect my Heavenly Mystery Pavilion!" Tianyi said lazily.
Upon hearing Tianyi's words, Gu Liyan frowned, suddenly realizing that the Tianyi he knew was merely an imposter, Cangyi. So, this Tianyi must be the real Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, right? Judging from his somewhat shrewd demeanor, he must know something…
"Pavilion Master Tianyi..." Gu Liyan confirmed her thoughts, raised her head to look at Tianyi, and was about to speak when she didn't expect Tianyi to be looking at her as well. She was a little embarrassed and said, "Do you know...?"
"Little fox, I know what you want to ask. You want to know the result before anyone else here. But don't forget, the arrangement of fate cannot be defied. All I can tell you now is that you choose your own destiny, whether you succeed or fail!" Tianyi interrupted Gu Liyan.
Gu Liyan looked at Tianyi with surprise. How could it be that Tianyi had already guessed everything she was thinking?
"I've already said everything I needed to say. The dead won't know what I shouldn't have said. You can leave now!" Tianyi gave them the order to leave.
Upon leaving the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, everyone wore a worried expression.
Hua Qingwu said irritably, "The Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion is such an annoying guy! He always says things that are hard to understand, and he always acts like someone is trying to harm him!"
Tianqi sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, Tianyi is the only one left in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion..."
"Alone?" Gu Liyan asked in confusion. "How could he be the only one left in such a large temple?"
"It's all because the secrets of heaven were leaked, that's why..." Hua Qingwu said.
"Qingwu!" Tianqi immediately shouted, "This matter cannot be told to them."
Hua Qingwu quickly covered her mouth and stopped speaking.
"Even if you didn't say it, I think we could guess what it is." Gu Liyan thought for a moment and said, "The news that a divine artifact has appeared in the lower realm and that obtaining the artifact will grant one immortality was actually spread by you, wasn't it?"
Gu Yan nodded in agreement. "Otherwise, the Celestials wouldn't be able to watch the fighting in the mortal realm so calmly; they would definitely intervene."
Gu Liyan thought for a moment and said, "So that explains why your Celestial Clan didn't get involved, because the source of the rumors is here!"
"What?!" Gu Li and Mo Chen stared at Gu Liyan in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief.
“That’s right!” Apocalypse said, frowning. “But the original source wasn’t like that…”
"Not like that? Then what is it?" Gu Li asked irritably. "Does your Celestial Clan have some wicked scheme against us?"
"The Celestial Race exists because they don't want to participate in wars, so how could they possibly scheme against you? Moreover, when the Pavilion Master of the Celestial Mystery Pavilion was measuring the fate of the Celestial Race, he accidentally discovered a mysterious force that had come to this time and space. Everyone in the Celestial Race wanted to help contain the crisis brought about by this uncertain factor!"
Apocalypse exclaimed excitedly, "If our Celestial Clan hadn't tracked that mysterious power repeatedly, do you think it wouldn't have struck first? You're ignorant and ungrateful, and yet you dare to criticize us? How dare you!"
The ancient calendar was rendered speechless.
Gu Yan stepped forward and asked, "We really don't know. We hope you can tell us the whole truth so that we can join forces to fight against that mysterious force."
"The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion once said that the mysterious power will not only bring death, but also chaotic cholera, which is not something we can resist!" Tianqi said with a solemn expression.
Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback when he heard Tianqi describe the mysterious power. He thought to himself, "The so-called death it brings, could it be referring to the undead race formed from the aura of death? And the power of chaos, could it be referring to my chaotic domain? No, how could my chaotic domain pose a threat to this world? Unless the Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor also possesses a chaotic domain!"
“One person’s strength may be limited, but if the Celestial Clan and the Demon Clan join forces, I think their chances of winning will be very high!” Gu Yan said.
"It wasn't that we didn't consider cooperating with you people from the lower realms at first, but it was because of that cooperation that the rumors started!" Tianqi said angrily, clenching his fist.
Everyone looked at Tianqi with suspicion and asked, "What rumor?"
"It was just hearsay that spread the word that a divine artifact had appeared in the world, and that obtaining the artifact would grant immortality! That's why the mortal realm has been fighting for so many years in search of this artifact!"
"Wasn't the fight because of resource issues?" Gu Li asked naively.
"No! It's not about resources!" Gu Yan's brows furrowed deeper as he spoke coldly, "So that's how it is. Now everything makes sense! We've been wrong all along. The war wasn't about resources from the very beginning, it was about divine artifacts! It was about divine artifacts from the very beginning!"
"That's right. It was because of the news of this divine artifact that war broke out in the lower realm. Since the Celestial Clan caused this, we couldn't find the little demon who was the culprit who relayed the message, so we could only stay in the Heavenly Palace and not concern ourselves with worldly affairs." Tianqi said with a solemn expression.
Hua Qingwu was completely stunned. Only after hearing the reason why they couldn't leave the Heavenly Palace did she nod in realization, "No wonder the clan leader always lectures me whenever I try to go out..."
"But where are the places the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion said we can't go? If we really can't go, how are we going to find Bai Di and the others?" Mo Chen asked.
