The Heavenly Vein Profound Realm was destroyed, everything turned to nothingness, and within the endless void, the voice of the Chaos Dragon Emperor suddenly rang out:
"Don't you want to say something?"
After a long while, an old and deep voice came: "You reminded him to do it, didn't you?" "
"You're overthinking it. It took so much effort to find someone who can inherit the legacy. Although he's not from my dragon clan, he's still my disciple. How could I possibly let him get entangled in such a huge karmic relationship?" The Chaos Dragon Emperor said.
"You dare to compete with the Lord of the Nine Stars for disciples—are you still afraid of getting entangled in this karma?" The voice retorted.
"After being imprisoned for so many years, I've long since come to terms with life and death. No matter how great the karma, I can bear it.
The key is that whether I can pass on my divine abilities is even more important. Unfortunately, I was too arrogant when I was young and lacked the patience to nurture disciples.
Later, a sudden upheaval occurred, and everything was too late. The Age of Decline arrived, and so-called geniuses in the Age of Chaos were mediocre talents.
However, Long Chen's appearance gave me hope, so I plan to pass on all my lifelong knowledge to him. When the Chaos Dragon Emperor mentioned Long Chen, his tone clearly carried a hint of satisfaction and pride.
"Heh, don't forget, who caused us to end up like this?" The voice sneered, filled with endless hatred.
The voice continued, "The Lord of the Nine Stars ascended to the absolute peak, holding the heavens and earth in his palm, looking down on everything, daring to reshape the order of heaven and earth. What will happen in the end?"
The heavens and earth were destroyed because of him, nearly doomed to ruin, countless races severely weakened, you and I were imprisoned, our descendants struggled in hardship and pain—all thanks to this couple.
You actually want to pass all your skills to the human race, or to the heir of the Lord of the Nine Stars? You've been imprisoned for too long. Xiuyang, have you rusted your mind too? "
As he spoke, the voice grew angry, every word filled with endless resentment. Especially when mentioning the Lord of the Nine Stars, it was even more gritted teeth, as if stirring up endless hatred.
Hearing the man's furious roar, the Chaos Dragon Emperor fell silent.
The voice seemed to sense something was off in his tone, softened his tone, and said:
"Brother Xiuyang, I have always respected you greatly, but your approach is ... I really can't understand it. "
"Xuanming, did you just wake up recently?" The Chaos Dragon Emperor said.
No one knew why the Chaos Dragon Emperor suddenly changed the subject, and the voice said:
"Yes, I just awakened for about a million years. This formation has made me feel terrible."
"And I, for so many years, have been trying to maintain a half-awake state." The Chaos Dragon Emperor said.
"Then wouldn't you have to endure endless torment... Xuanming was shocked.
The Chaos Dragon Emperor said, "Because I am unwilling to be imprisoned like this, nor am I willing to follow my skills and follow me like that. I have been waiting for the opportunity to find a successor."
At the same time, over the years, I have been pondering one question: I am searching for answers to that catastrophe. "
"The answer?" What answer? Xuanming was startled.
"I think the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are a conspiracy, and perhaps this conspiracy could continue into the era before we were born." The Chaos Dragon Emperor said.
"How is that possible? You and I are both gods born of heaven and earth; we are the pioneers of this world. Before us, heaven and earth were a state of chaos! Xuanming shouted.
"What about before Chaos?" The Chaos Dragon Emperor said.
"This ..."
Xuanming was instantly speechless.
"Also, do you remember anything from your youth?" The Chaos Dragon Emperor said.
"How long ago is this? How could I possibly remember?" Xuanming said.
"Have you ever thought about whether you forget or have been forgotten?" The Chaos Dragon Emperor asked again.
"Big brother, do you mean ...?" Xuanming was startled.
"Why does the Lord of the Nine Stars want to disrupt the order of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths? Why did he end up being abandoned by everyone? Could it really be that he's gone mad?
Even if he went mad, his wife was the only woman in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths who attained enlightenment through alchemy and ascended to the Heavenly Emperor level. She was a person of great wisdom. Could she have gone mad too? "The Chaos Dragon Emperor asked.
Xuanming was silent for a moment and said, "But you can't deny that the emotions and personalities of the human race are unstable, and almost all have self-destructive tendencies.
When it snows, they build snowmen. The process is very enjoyable, and after the excitement, they personally smash the snowmen with their own hands.
They would personally create beautiful things, but also destroy them themselves. Seeing snow-white walls, they liked to pollute them with handprints and footprints. Humans were born unable to tolerate anything perfect.
When something perfect appears, people will smear it; if they can't, they'll find ways to destroy it.
The most terrifying thing is that humans not only destroy external things, but also self-destruction. Survival is an instinct, but humans will go against it.
Looking across the nine heavens and ten earths, all races and spirits, besides humans, which race would commit suicide? "
Xuanming spoke at length. He harbored deep prejudices against the human race, but his words pointed straight to human nature, deeply touching and impossible to refute.
Facing Xuanming's questioning, the Chaos Dragon Emperor said, "There is a saying among humans: the earth does not grow nameless grass, and the heavens do not produce useless people." "
"You mean, does this world need them too?" Xuanming sneered, and from his tone, it was clear that the human race was the real source of disaster in this world.
If the human race could disappear from this world, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would become much better. The current ruined situation was all caused by the human race alone.
"It's not that it's necessary, but only they can drive the world forward. I know you don't take it seriously.
Let me put it this way: the human race is a blend of contradictions, embodying opposing traits such as good and evil, wisdom and foolishness, nobility and baseness.
They are the most unstable factor in this world...
"Exactly. As long as they aren't around, won't the world's yin and yang balance be stable?" Xuanming interjected.
"But have you ever thought that this balance is like stagnant water, and in the end, this world will rot and perish?
Only dynamic balance can keep the world running. More yang today and more yin tomorrow are like seesaws—high and low—that's the essence of the world.
If a seesaw stopped moving, it meant the world was dead. "The Chaos Dragon Emperor explained.
"I don't understand what you're saying, but I still stick to my view. The human race is the creature I hate most, and I will never have anything to do with them in my lifetime." Xuanming said.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a muffled sound rang out, followed by another muffled thud, several times in succession.
Hearing that voice, the Chaos Dragon Emperor laughed and said:
"I'm afraid that's not up to you anymore. Long Chen broke through the Heavenly Vein Profound Realm, and the other small worlds lost their balance. The shackles of Emperor Heaven were detonated, and a new era was about to begin!"
