Zhou Xingdou glanced at the struggling immortal soul in his hand and instantly understood that the "son" the Universal Saint Lord spoke of must be Du Buhui. This made him somewhat curious, and he asked:
"As far as I know, this Du Buhui is just an orphan from the countryside. How can you be so sure he is your son?"
The Ninth Ancestor of the Universe, who had been leisurely swinging on a swing while being carried by Qin Ming, spoke at this moment:
“I knew it. I was an accomplice. They were all his sons, not mine.”
Upon hearing this, the Holy Mother of the Universe's exquisite face turned cold, and a chilling aura solidified in her phoenix eyes:
"So that soul is your illegitimate child?"
Although she and the Holy Lord of the Universe did not have much affection for each other, they were still husband and wife in name only. Now that her husband had a son who was not hers, it was undoubtedly a humiliation for her.
Zhou Xingdou rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and raised his hand, saying:
"Let's pause for now and talk one by one,"
He felt that he was not the venerable son of the Zhou family who had stepped over the gates of the sacred land of the universe, but a judge in a courtroom.
Zhou Xingdou's words still carried weight. Commander Xingyou slapped the Holy Lord of the Universe across the face, making the weakened Holy Lord see stars.
Qin Ming treated the Ninth Ancestor of the Universe with great courtesy, merely glancing at him with a gentle smile. The Ninth Ancestor of the Universe immediately fell silent, continuing to swing leisurely on the collar that Qin Ming had lifted.
The Holy Mother of the Universe withdrew her gaze, suppressed her anger, and turned her head away, no longer looking at the Holy Lord of the Universe.
Zhou Xingdou then asked Wan Tianzhou:
"Tian Zhou, how were you possessed?"
Wan Tianzhou closed his eyes and sighed, seemingly unwilling to recall the past. He lowered his brows and said:
"Two years ago, it was my father who suppressed my soul, which allowed Du Buhui to take advantage of the situation and possess me."
Upon hearing this, the Holy Mother of the Universe, who had barely managed to suppress her anger, felt it surge up again, and a chilling killing intent gathered around her, even though she had some suspicions.
But when Wan Tianzhou himself said that it was the Holy Lord of the Universe who suppressed his soul, she still found it hard to accept.
Zhou Xingdou frowned. Based on the information he had, this was likely a major drama about family ethics, but just as Zhou Xingdou was about to ask further questions...
The Holy Lord of the Universe, however, drew strength from who-knows-where, not only waking up from the intense battle with Commander Xingyou, but also spitting a mouthful of pus and blood onto Wan Tianzhou's fair face, angrily cursing:
"Bastard! You are not worthy to call me father!"
Zhou Xingdou was immediately startled. This sentence contained even more information, and he even looked at the Holy Mother of the Universe with some curiosity. He saw that the Holy Mother of the Universe's face turned ashen in an instant.
Even Wan Tianzhou was taken aback, seemingly unaware of the secret behind it, and was dumbfounded by the scolding from the Holy Lord of the Universe.
At this moment, the Holy Mother of the Universe disregarded Zhou Xingdou's rules. Her delicate fists clenched tightly, and her killing intent seemed to materialize, causing Zhou Xingdou to feel a slight sting. She roared in a phoenix voice:
"Wan Huaze! If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'll take your life!"
The Holy Lord of the Universe was completely unafraid of the Holy Mother of the Universe's threat, his blood-stained face contorted in a ferocious grimace:
"Bah, Yunlian, what are you pretending for? Wan Tianzhou is nothing more than a Universal Dao Fruit that you and I intercepted in the forbidden area, which is being nurtured within you. He is not my son at all!"
Zhou Xingdou was so confused by this family drama that he wanted to scratch his head. Wan Tianzhou was not the biological son of the Holy Lord of the Universe, but only a Dao Fruit of the Universe, nurtured by the Holy Mother of the Universe.
If that's the case, then the Holy Lord of the Universe is indeed right. The Holy Mother of the Universe at least had a mother-child relationship with Wan Tianzhou when she conceived the Dao Fruit, but she didn't really have much of a connection with the Holy Lord of the Universe. It's possible that her aura was slightly tainted when she intercepted the Dao Fruit.
Wan Tianzhou was stunned on the spot. Having just escaped from the suppression of the Undying Divine Soul and regained control of his body, he was indeed in a difficult position to learn such explosive news.
Stephen Chow patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, trying to calm him down.
The Holy Mother of the Universe was rendered speechless by the Holy Lord of the Universe. Her killing intent was cut off at this moment, and she was at a loss for what to do.
Even the Ninth Ancestor of the Universe couldn't help but speak up at this moment:
"That's incredible! Wan Huaze, you actually dared to deceive the Ancestor. Once the Ancestor gets away, I will definitely destroy your true spirit."
The Ninth Ancestor of the Universe's voice sounded like a joke, with a smile on his face, and it didn't seem like a threat at all. But the remnant body of the Holy Lord of the Universe trembled, feeling an endless chill.
Wan Tianzhou was completely dumbfounded. Only now did he realize that he was not the child of the Universal Holy Lord and the Universal Holy Mother, but a being born from the Universal Dao Fruit.
Zhou Xingdou also roughly figured out the matter: Wan Tianzhou was not of the bloodline of the Universal Saint Lord, so the Universal Saint Lord was somewhat concerned about his existence.
However, the beings transformed from the Dao Fruit of the Universe possessed extraordinary talents, almost unmatched by anyone in the world. Therefore, the Holy Man of the Universe harbored wicked intentions and used his illegitimate son, Du Buhui, to possess his nominal son, Wan Tianzhou.
This Ninth Ancestor was probably deceived by the Universal Saint Lord. Otherwise, if he had known that Wan Tianzhou was born from the Universal Dao Fruit, he would never have helped the Universal Saint Lord.
After all, the significance of the Universal Dao Fruit to the Universal Holy Land may be even more important than that of the Ancestor, and it absolutely cannot be lost.
It's likely that the two of them didn't use any righteous means to seize the Universal Dao Fruit back then, otherwise they wouldn't have lied to their superiors and subordinates until now before finally revealing it.
However, compared to the family affairs of the Universal Holy Land, Zhou Xingdou was more concerned about this so-called Du Buhui, which was the immortal divine soul in his hands.
Zhou Xingdou found the concept of an illegitimate child somewhat hard to believe. What kind of existence was the Holy Lord of the Universe?
At this point, those who had already reached the top of the tower in the entire Chuyuan were all exceptional individuals. Even if their sons were of poor quality, they could not possibly be as useless and ugly as Du Buhui. They would be considered geniuses if not immortals.
Even if he were truly a waste, as the son of the Holy Lord of the Universe, how could he possibly have suffered such humiliation in that small Du family, not only becoming a servant but also developing an extremely despicable character?
Zhou Xingdou would not doubt the information collected by Xingyou, because even with the methods of the Universal Saint Lord, he might be able to deceive others, but he could not deceive Commander Xingyou.
Upon seeing Zhou Xingdou grip the Undying Divine Soul tightly, a mournful cry resounded, and the Heavenly Saint Lord's ferocious expression immediately turned panicked, even carrying a hint of pleading in his words:
"Don't hurt my son, please, I'll tell you whatever you want to know."
The actions of the Holy Lord of the Universe left Wan Tianzhou with mixed feelings. Although he already knew that his bloodline was unrelated to the Holy Lord of the Universe, Wan Tianzhou had regarded the Holy Lord of the Universe as his father since childhood. It would be impossible for him not to feel sad at this moment.
Zhou Xingdou's expression turned even colder. He gripped the Undying Divine Soul tightly, not only refusing to loosen his grip but increasing the force of his grip, causing the Undying Divine Soul to wail incessantly.
Seeing the panicked Holy Lord of the Universe, Zhou Xingdou's silver-white eyes, filled with purple aura, turned as cold as condensed mist:
"Who is Du Buhui's mother! Tell me!"
