Chapter 1611: Chapter 1611
The divine sense clearly calmed down—neither side were fools, the previous heated exchange was merely a mutual test. The Guardian God ascertained that the person before him was not here to "resurrect" the Heavenly Fire Qilin, so he let down his guard slightly.
However, this fellow had deceived his believer and snuck into his divine realm. He was clearly a liar with a mouth full of deceit, so the Ancient God could not believe him entirely either.
A part of the divine sense fell, and Sun Da-ren could clearly feel that it contained vast knowledge of sorcery! This knowledge seemed to be related to the method the Head Sorcerer had used to open the parallel world of divine realms. This meant that it involved a large number of high-level rules regarding the void, Sun Da-ren was drooling with desire.
However, the Ancient God did not completely place all of these divine senses but suspended them so that Sun Da-ren could see it but not taste it. The Ancient God communicated with Sun Da-ren through another divine sense: "You swear a Great Oath that you will never resurrect the Heavenly Fire Qilin. You must be looking for its remains to refine a Magical Instrument!"
"This God knows its whereabouts. Swear an oath, and I’ll tell you the method. My believers can send you there."
Sun Da-ren’s thoughts secretly revolved: "Your Majesty, your humble believers are of course willing to do anything for you. But as you just said, you have always been generous with your believers. Since I have removed the Heavenly Fire Qilin whom you deeply despised, would you be so kind..."
Sun Da-ren created a universal pass gesture with his thoughts.
The inherently short-tempered Ancient God almost exploded with anger. To think that this god was being blackmailed! In the past, such despicable acts were always done by this god to others!
Moreover, what the god had clearly said just now was that he had always been magnanimous to his believers. You dare to tamper with the divine edict! How laughable it is to link the word "generous" with this god.
Magnanimous... that didn’t seem right either.
The Ancient God suppressed his anger. Were it not for being in a state of extinction, would such a clown dare to show off in front of him? He asked Sun Da-ren: "What do you want?"
Sun Da-ren glanced around this dead-silent world and sighed lightly. This small gesture almost provoked the Ancient God to jump out of his slumber: Are you despising the poverty of my realm?
Sun Da-ren was indeed quite disappointed. It was rare to have an opportunity to take advantage of an Ancient God, so of course, he wanted to strike a hard bargain. But this Ancient God... just look at his realm, he must be already impoverished.
"The believer doesn’t dare to be extravagant, just answer a few questions and that’ll be enough. Why aren’t you willing to awaken now?"
The Ancient God asked in a deep voice: "Since you are looking for the Heavenly Fire Qilin, you must know something. So how much do you know about the divine beasts?"
"Your Majesty, are you asking about... the Divine Beast Fall?"
"Very good, since you know about the Divine Beast Fall, our conversation will be easier." The Ancient God secretly removed a large part of the content he had fabricated in the answer and replaced it with the true answer: "You must have noticed that our fall coincides with the Heavenly Track Reversal, but the Divine Beast Fall occurred in recent years. It is precisely during these years that the Heavenly Track began to repair itself—do you think this is a coincidence?"
Sun Da-ren frowned secretly. He had indeed not connected the Divine Beast Fall with the Origin Resurgence before, because there was a gap of several years in between. However, as the Ancient God pointed it out, Sun Da-ren realized that when looking from the perspective of the Heavenly Track, a few years in the long river of time could be considered just a moment. The two events could even be attributed to the same point in time.
The Ancient God continued communicating through divine sense: "I don’t know what happened in the Heaven Realm. The moment the Heavenly Track had an accident, I fell into a state of extinction."
"But I understand that the Heavenly Track Reversal led to the Lower Realm’s collapse and the Three Desolate Concealment. Many deities and immortals perished. The Heavenly Track recovery is definitely not a blessing; there must be a great catastrophe!"
Sun Da-ren inquired: "Did the Heavenly Palace slide into the Chaotic Void at the time of the Heavenly Track Reversal?"
"Very likely." The Ancient God said: "I can only answer you this way, because when I fell into extinction, the Heavenly Palace still existed. However, it was already in grave danger, and it is very likely that after that, as you said, it slid into the Chaotic Void."
Sun Da-ren cautiously asked the most critical question: "So, at the time of the Heavenly Track Reversal, what exactly happened in the Heaven Realm that caused many deities and immortals to fall?"
The Ancient God fell silent for a while before saying: "In my current state, I am subject to certain restrictions and cannot divulge some secrets or even communicate them to you through divine sense. All I can tell you is that it wasn’t only your Lower Realm that was thrown into chaos during the Heavenly Track Reversal; the Heaven Realm suffered as well... um, um, um..." It seemed he was trying to find words to circumvent the restrictions, and finally continued: "Many terrifying enemies appeared, and the Heaven Realm was not in harmony. Since there were disputes and battles, naturally there were also falls.
I was one of the first unlucky ones to fall."
Sun Da-ren secretly nodded his head. It seemed that the Heavenly Track Reversal also affected the Heaven Realm, possibly opening some special voids that allowed external enemies to intervene. Coupled with the internal strife within the Heaven Realm, this led to the great catastrophe.
It appeared that the cause of everything was the Heavenly Track Reversal. Sun Da-ren initially thought that the changes in the Heaven Realm had led to the Heavenly Track Reversal, but it turned out to be the opposite.
