Chapter 2446: Unveiling the Eternal Mystery!

"Lord Yuanxiao! They've slapped us in the face right at our doorstep, and we're just going to watch?" Yuan Wei asked, shocked and unwilling.

He simply couldn't understand Yuanxiao's approach.

The Ancestor could suppress this with a single slap—why act like this?

But Yuanxiao was unhurried, slowly taking his seat, and said, "If you knew who he was, you wouldn't think that way."

Yuan Wei was stunned, utterly bewildered.

Who was Ye Yuan? Didn't he already know?

Back then, he had almost killed Ye Yuan!

"He... who is he? This kid is formidable, but he's only just entered the Heavenly Being realm! If you, my lord, made a move, how could he not die?" Yuan Wei asked, perplexed.

Yuan Xiao smiled faintly and suddenly changed the subject: "Do you know who defeated our Divine Race back then?"

Yuan Wei was taken aback again, unsure of Yuanxiao's meaning, but still replied, "Back then, the eighteen Human Ancestors suppressed our race's experts with their deaths, especially the Space-Time Ancestor who exiled Lord Tianqing to the chaos of time and space. That's how we lost! To be honest, we weren't truly defeated!"

Yuan Xiao shook his head and laughed, "You're wrong! In the last war of annihilation, we were defeated by two Human Saints! It's just that these two were too low-key, and we never knew about them! This matter has only recently spread among the humans."

Yuan Wei's eyes showed even more confusion.

What did all this have to do with Ye Yuan?

Defeat at whose hands was something from ten billion years ago—what did it have to do with today?

Yuan Xiao gestured for him to calm down and sit, then slowly continued, "In the last era, humanity was weak. How did they suddenly rise and produce the eighteen Ancestors? Don't you find it strange?"

Yuan Wei frowned, not understanding.

This was an eternal mystery; they had no idea how humanity suddenly had so many experts to suppress the Divine Race.

At that time, humanity was clearly extremely weak.

Experts like the Space-Time Ancestor seemed to have popped out of nowhere.

"Well... they must have acted in secret, hiding in a small world like us and cultivating these experts!" Yuan Wei said.

Yuan Xiao nodded, "Indeed! But our Divine Race had Miluo Heavenly Master monitoring the world; he couldn't have been completely unaware of the rise of so many experts. Yet he was unaware—don't you find that strange?"

Yuan Wei's pupils contracted, "It... it is indeed strange!"

Yuan Xiao said, "In human history, there were two key figures! These two were revered by all races, titled the Qingxuan Dual Saints, shining through the ages! It was these two key figures that changed the pattern of the Tongtian Realm..."

Yuan Xiao narrated slowly, and Yuan Wei listened in shock.

He had never imagined that there was such an unknown chapter in history!

After the shock, Yuan Wei suddenly felt something was off.

Hadn't he come to discuss Ye Yuan with Lord Yuanxiao? Why was he talking about the Qingxuan Dual Saints?

"My lord, but... but what does this have to do with Ye Yuan?" Yuan Wei sensed something was wrong but couldn't figure out the key, so he had to ask.

Yuan Xiao tapped his fingers lightly on the table, as if to relax himself, and slowly said, "Ye Yuan... is the Qing Saint of the Qingxuan Dual Saints!"

Yuan Wei's pupils shrank sharply, his whole body as if electrocuted. He shot up and exclaimed, "What! My... my lord, this joke is not funny! If he is the Qing Saint, he should be an old monster who has lived for over ten billion years. How could his strength be so low?"

Yuan Xiao sighed and smiled bitterly, "When I heard this news, my reaction was no better than yours. This sounds incredible, yet... it is absolutely true! The past ten billion years have actually been chaotic! All of us have been living in a chaotic time and space! I don't know what means Ye Yuan used, but he traveled back in time ten billion years and left eighteen inheritance arrays for humanity! That is what created the eighteen Ancestors!"

Yuan Xiao paused, then said, "Our Divine Race was actually defeated by him!"

Yuan Wei didn't know how to describe his feelings; what Yuan Xiao said was like a fairy tale.

Too absurd!

But he knew Yuan Xiao wouldn't joke with him.

This matter must be absolutely true!

These fragments buried in the dust of history had actually influenced the course of the next ten billion years.

Such means were truly unprecedented!

Yuan Wei felt his mind couldn't keep up.

After who knows how long, Yuan Wei finally snapped out of his shock.

His gaze sharpened, and he said, "My lord, if that's the case, we should eliminate Ye Yuan even more! Once he grows up, he will be a nightmare for our Divine Race!"

Yuan Xiao smiled bitterly again and said, "It's too late! He has already grown up!"

Yuan Wei didn't understand, "My lord, you are one of the eight Ancestors, with supreme achievements. Can't you deal with a kid who just entered the Heavenly Being realm?"

Yuan Xiao shook his head, "It's not hard for me to kill him. The hard part is that I simply can't lock onto him! You should have already felt that."

Yuan Wei shuddered, incredulous, "That's impossible! With your strength, my lord, his space law is useless!"

Yuan Xiao sighed, "News just came from the Tongtian Realm that Ye Yuan escaped from the joint attack of the nine Dao Ancestors! The nine Dao Ancestors used the power of nine rules to lock space, yet he still escaped! I may be strong, but I'm not stronger than the combined might of the nine Dao Ancestors with their rules!"

Yuan Wei felt his mind explode.

The nine Dao Ancestors joined forces, and Ye Yuan still escaped?

How... how is that possible?

Even if Ye Yuan had comprehended the rule of space, how could he have done it?

The nine Dao Ancestors were so powerful that even the Divine Race Ancestors were extremely wary of them.

What gave Ye Yuan the right?

He had thought Ye Yuan only relied on space law to escape his fatal strike.

Now it seemed he had become a laughingstock!

Yuan Xiao glanced at him and said calmly, "Now do you understand why he dared to come to the Abyss World alone? Do as I say; don't provoke him. If he really gets angry, he can't do anything to us, but below the ninth-rank mid-stage of the Divine Race, probably no one will survive. Let him do what he wants; as long as it's not too excessive, don't interfere."

...

The high echelons of the Divine Race surprisingly maintained a tacit understanding.

Those who had been monitoring Ye Yuan were all withdrawn, leaving him much more at peace.

Ye Yuan knew well that the Divine Race high-ups must have received news from the Tongtian Realm.

Although the Divine Race had retreated, they surely had spies in the Tongtian Realm.

The matter of the nine Dao Ancestors joining forces against him had shaken the entire Tongtian Realm; the Divine Race couldn't be unaware.

These days, Ye Yuan had been active in the territory of the Xuan Vein.

On this day, he arrived at the heart of the Xuan Vein, the Tianzhan Hunting Ground!

This was the place for selecting Divine Sons and Daughters!
