“It seems that based on the currently known clues and situations, the five great gods can indeed be regarded as benefactors to the four major universes.” Ye Wuque gave a summary.
The Jade Emperor sighed at this time: "The help of the five great gods to the four universes will always be passed on, forever, and immortal from generation to generation. But now, as the five great gods almost never appear again, the attitude of the major forces in the four universes towards the five great gods has gradually changed to... keep a distance!"
"Even if a being from one of the five divine families suddenly appears, we just need to be polite and respectful."
The Jade Emperor's words also reminded Ye Wuque of the attitude of the Sword-wielding Elder of the Holy Sword Sect towards Tai Shu Rou at that time. It was indeed like that.
"How do you know for sure that the five great gods are part of 'them'?" Ye Wuque looked at Hou Tu again, his eyes deep and captivating.
"I can tell they are it just by smell and instinct! It is a part of me that is imprinted deep in my soul!" Hou Tu laughed at herself.
"Then who are you? Are you one of 'them'? Why do you want to get rid of them? Why do you risk your life to enter Taichu Lingze?" The Jade Emperor immediately started to chase me.
Hou Tu was silent for a few breaths. It seemed that since she had already said this, there was no point in hiding anything further.
"Lord Jade Emperor is right. I was once one of them! I was even a prince!"
"But, I, the prince, have an unrighteous background. My ancestor must have been one of them who fought against them a long time ago, but he chose to surrender and defect, rebelled, and became one of them."
"But everyone knows that no one likes traitors. Even if they seem to accept them, they will be extremely cautious and vigilant, and will do everything they can to weaken and prevent their development."
"Originally, our lineage only wanted to survive, so we obeyed orders in the hope of passing on from generation to generation. I was born into this atmosphere, and according to the status they gave me, I am considered a prince."
"My lineage has been suppressed and targeted for a long time, and the edges have been completely smoothed. I, the so-called prince, am naturally inferior to them. In their eyes, I am just a big toy with a little status. I am bullied all day long. I have no choice but to endure it."
"But at least they did not break their promise and gave us adequate treatment and resources. But one day, everything changed!" When Hou Tu said this, a trace of fear, despair, and powerless resentment flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"That day, most of the masters of my lineage were suddenly suppressed and captured, and then immediately sent to the branch of Taichu Lingze they occupied, and actually began... a blood sacrifice!"
"Using our bloodline, it's inexplicable! Later, when I was also captured, I realized that they had been studying the power of my bloodline, and finally discovered a hidden trace of some mysterious ancient aura that could strengthen that branch, so they showed their fangs without hesitation!"
"My lineage will soon be extinct!"
"It was not until the moment of life and death that the remaining elders of my lineage gave up completely and burst out with their last strength, even if it meant death, they would bite off a piece of their flesh. But in the end, they failed and all died. They bled to death and were sacrificed in the branch. But this also bought me a glimmer of hope. But at that time, I was completely desperate and knew that even if I had a glimmer of hope, what would it matter? I might as well die. So I used all my strength to jump into the branch, which was equivalent to asking for death. At that time, I really thought I was dead, and I just wanted to live freely."
"I succeeded. After I fell into the branch, I was swept away by the waves. None of them dared to chase me and they thought I was dead. But I was lucky. I escaped death after a near-death experience. Later, I floated here to the Dongyue Universe." Hou Tu said in one breath.
The Jade Emperor remained silent.
A hint of emotion flashed across Ye Wuque's eyes.
The miserable experience of Hou Tu seems to be extremely similar to that of "Ye's Wrath" back then.
But Ye Zhinu always kept revenge in mind, and with his good luck he was discovered by Lord Xuan, which gave him the capital to rise.
But after Hou Tu managed to escape, she had no idea of revenge at all. Instead, she changed her identity and tried to survive. In order to avoid them, she even turned into a woman.
Compared to Ye Zhinu, Hou Tu seemed to have had her backbone removed long ago. She had lost all will to resist and had turned into mud.
"Wait, you said that the branches of the four universes have not been discovered and have always been unknown, but the five great gods are adjacent to the four universes!"
“If the five great gods really came from them, then doesn’t it mean…” The Jade Emperor seemed to react.
"It's dark under the lamp!" Ye Wuque uttered three words.
Hou Tu also smiled bitterly: "Yes! It's just that the light is dark! What an incredible coincidence! I have been floating in Taichu Lingze for more than half a year, drifting with the flow, constantly being teleported by the chaos, and finally came here. I thought I was completely away from them, but I didn't expect that after going around in circles, this branch that has never been explored and discovered is so close to them! Is this fate and cause and effect? I am destined to not be able to escape at all! Hahahaha!"
The Jade Emperor and Ye Wuque's eyes met, the former solemn and the latter profound.
"Brother Ye, do you think it is possible that they already know that there are unknown branches of Taichu Lingze in the four major universes?" The Jade Emperor asked in a deep voice.
Ye Wuque's eyes flickered slightly, and he finally shook his head: "Probably not yet, although they have discovered that Hou Tu is still alive and have even oppressed her."
"But, is the 'he' who used the Heaven Stealing Secret to project from 'them' or the Five Great Gods? It's hard to say now."
"If the branch here has really been exposed, then they would have been unable to hold back and come here to seize it directly! They wouldn't have shown no reaction until now."
"Or, in their eyes, they just determined that Hou Tu was lucky enough to be transported to the four universes by the chaos in Taichu Lingze, and they didn't think about the existence of a new branch at all."
Ye Wuque's analysis also made the Jade Emperor nod slowly.
Immediately, the Jade Emperor looked at Hou Tu again, and a cold light seemed to flash in his all-encompassing eyes.
Finally, the Jade Emperor shook his head gently: "No, she can't die. If she dies suddenly and inexplicably, it might arouse their vigilance and even send people over. After all, her identity has been exposed."
The Jade Emperor was very calm.
"I still say that. The Heaven Stealing Secret is in my hands now. If 'he' reappears, perhaps, we can discover something more." Ye Wuque also spoke.
"No, Brother Ye, this is too dangerous!"
"I am at war with them to the death. There is no retreat."
Ye Wuque's words made the Jade Emperor silent again.
However, at this moment, Ye Wuque's eyes suddenly condensed, and the threatening words he had said before reappeared in his mind...
If you arbitrarily interfere with the cause and effect of others, you will inevitably pay the price!
etc!
This sentence, this sentence...
There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in Ye Wuque's mind!
The next moment, Ye Wuque caught this flash of inspiration and suddenly realized something!
"Could it be that I made a wrong judgment?"
"I always thought this sentence meant that I saved Xiao Wu Tian! I ruined their plan, and they are the other Tian Dao who are hunting down Wu Tian Dao!"
"And now it seems that this sentence may not refer to Xiao Wutian, but to Tai Shurou, whom I rescued in the Wanhuang Nest!"
"They and the other Tiandao who are chasing Xiao Wutian are actually two unrelated groups of people!"
"It was only because of the sudden murderous intent from outside Sanheyu, and the warning he asked Yuan Zhenxiao to bring me. Because the timing of the two events was too coincidental and the events were somewhat similar, I subconsciously misunderstood and made a wrong judgment!"
"Xiao Wutian's causal lock of killing intent has not actually arrived yet!"
"The first thing that came to my mind was the hostile cause and effect that appeared on the line of 'saving Tai Shurou'!"
Ye Wuque's brain understood and sorted out everything in a flash.
"Now think carefully about some of the details of Tai Shurou's behavior before she left. She must have understood a long time ago that her entry into the Ten Thousand Phoenix Nest was probably not a coincidence. Someone in the Five Great Gods might have wanted her dead or disappeared completely, and set her up. This was an internal fight among the Five Great Gods."
"And because I saved Tai Shurou and changed her fate, I interfered with her karma and allowed her to successfully return to the Five Great Gods. This also completely affected the plans and karma of some people in the Five Great Gods."
"So, the people of the five divine surnames who targeted Tai Shurou also hated me!"
"He wished I was dead, and he took action, which led to everything that happened later."
Ye Wuque's eyes flashed, becoming captivating and cold!
