"Impossible, Senior, how could it be the Great Emperor Zhenwu?"

For a moment, Ye Qiu fell into deep disbelief. He couldn't believe that the lonely man who once stood in the forbidden cage was actually the once majestic Zhenwu Emperor.

Meng Tianzheng looked at Ye Qiu, who was in deep fear, and smiled faintly.

"In the ancient times, there was a young man from the human race who walked out of the wilderness and left a profound mark in the long river of history."

"He entered Taoism through martial arts and earned himself the name Zhenwu!"

"He founded the Immortal River and laid the foundation for our human race. He also led an era and made more and more people appear on this wonderful historical stage."

"He is a legend, and also the most tragic emperor!"

"He ventured into the restricted area seven times to explore the secrets of immortality, but was attacked by an ominous force. He perished at the beginning of the ancient calamity and disappeared without a trace."

Having said this, there was only awe left in Meng Tianzheng's eyes.

Then he looked at Ye Qiu again and said, "I can sense a trace of his aura from you, the fierce aura that has been sealed for eternity."

"That was his unique path, the path he had been searching for his entire life."

"Child... I don't know what he passed on to you, but I know that he... chose you, so he must have his considerations."

"I am unable to see through the cause and effect relationship between these two events. Perhaps my cultivation is still not deep enough to understand the mystery."

Hearing this, Ye Qiu fell silent. Perhaps... the reason why Emperor Zhenwu chose him was probably out of helplessness?

He had been trapped in the restricted area for so long, in darkness and gloom, and the days were like years. No one could reach him alive.

He had no choice, only Ye Qiu could enter there, so... he chose Ye Qiu.

Of course, there is another possibility.

Perhaps, he had deduced the future, saw the tip of the iceberg, identified Ye Qiu, and therefore chose him.

So, why did he decide that it was Ye Qiu?

Ye Qiu suddenly remembered that drop of divine blood. It was a drop of divine blood from the ancient times, a drop of blood left by a mysterious powerful man.

When Ye Qiu absorbed this drop of divine blood, he vaguely felt a sense of familiarity. Could it be that... his ancestors had once been glorious?

That's why there is this kind of intimate feeling, more like the inheritance and continuation of blood.

Ye Qiu became more and more confused. Where did he come from and where should he go?

The memory of the first half of his life was only frozen at the moment when Taoist Xuantian brought him back to Zixia Peak.

Ye Qiu didn't remember anything about his experiences before that.

I don't even know where he comes from, where he was born, or where he lives.

His mind was in a mess and Ye Qiu looked at Meng Tianzheng blankly. He must know something.

Then he asked, "Great Elder, please enlighten me."

Meng Tianzheng knew what he was thinking and what he was wondering about.

Ye Qiu was eager to know the answer, but... Meng Tianzheng just shook his head and did not choose to answer.

He just said: "All things in the world are constantly renewed, and the yin and yang of heaven and earth cannot escape the cycle."

"It is cause and effect, it is destiny."

"I know you are doubtful and confused, but I have to tell you that there are some things that you can't touch right now. Do you understand what I mean?"

Outside the Zhaixing Tower, bursts of thunder could be heard from time to time. It seemed to be a warning from heaven and earth. Even Meng Tianzheng had to be wary of it.

Ye Qiu took a deep breath, and he understood that his strength was too weak after all, and he could never reach that level.

Then, Ye Qiu asked again: "Grand Elder, do you know about the longevity calamity?"

When these words were spoken, Meng Tianzheng's pupils contracted. No one knew what the Eternal Tribulation was better than him.

Because he was the survivor of that catastrophe.

Seeing Ye Qiu mention it, Meng Tianzheng took a deep breath and said, "Child, let me tell you a story."

Ye Qiu did not answer, but just asked carefully and listened attentively.

"When the world was in chaos, the nine heavens and ten earths had not yet been created."

"The world at that time was more like a plateau, barren, dead silent, and dark."

"In one cycle, the first batch of living beings were born in the world. They revived from the darkness and gradually gained spiritual wisdom."

"After hundreds of reincarnations and constant evolution, these creatures gradually became more powerful, and as their strength grew, their inner desires also became stronger."

"They have experienced all kinds of separations of life and death, and understand the end of life, and that they will eventually die."

"I watched my loved ones pass away one by one. As time passed and times changed, resentment gradually arose in the tragic ending."

“So, an idea grew deep in my heart.”

“Can life last forever?”

"At the moment this thought came to mind, the chaos between heaven and earth seemed to be peeled away by a pair of giant hands."

"Some people have discovered that the creatures awakened from the chaos have their own innate heritage. The laws of heaven and earth are engraved in their bone texts. They are in harmony with each other and are not affected by each other."

"And if you want to explore the end of the law, you have to keep getting stronger and keep plundering."

“So, the great catastrophe of all races broke out.”

"That great catastrophe established the status of the Ten Evils and confirmed their innate supreme status."

"Thus, the Ten Evils opened up the Immortal Realm, which was also the original Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

"Later, as their strength grew stronger, this world could no longer sustain their existence."

"This is a fatal calamity. Once they exceed this limit, they will be wiped out by heaven and earth."

"In order to break this death calamity, they began to search for a wider world and explore the secret of immortality."

"Thus, the ancient prosperity of immortals begins!"

"During tens of thousands of years of exploration, the Ten Evils left the Fairyland one after another. In the following era, more and more young and handsome men from various powerful races began to take the stage and show their talents."

"Under the protection of the Ten Evils, everything was relatively safe, but suddenly one day..."

Speaking of this, Meng Tianzheng's eyes became frightened and uneasy.

Ye Qiu knew that the source that ultimately led to the destruction of Xian Gu might be here.

Meng Tianzheng only heard his extremely solemn tone saying: "Suddenly one day, a pioneer discovered a mysterious powerful man who had fallen on that vast uninhabited plateau."

"It was an extremely terrifying existence, but no one knows why it fell."

"When he fell, a drop of dark blood flowed from his body."

Having said this, Meng Tianzheng's expression shook, as if he had been attacked by something, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He didn't say anything else. Although Ye Qiu didn't hear everything, he seemed to have vaguely guessed the truth of the matter.

It turned out that all the so-called unrest was caused by a drop of blood from the mysterious strong man on the plateau.

It was he who broke the balance of the world and plunged the fairyland into endless darkness.
