He paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, within the corpse of Xuanhua, I also sensed a Will." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"A Will?" Lu Qing asked.

Gui Xu Taoist nodded, "That Will was very weak, it must have been left by Xuanhua before he fell, it revealed to me a secret from the ancient era."

Lu Qing’s spirit was invigorated.

The ancient era!

Gui Xu Taoist slowly said, "That Will said, in ancient times, a great war occurred between the Human Race and the Witch Clan, and eventually, the Human Race won. This should have been a time for rest and recovery, but not long after, a rift appeared in the starry sky."

"A rift?" Lu Qing’s heart was stirred, recalling the prophecy once spoken by Qiu Ruofeng.

Gui Xu Taoist nodded, "That rift connected to another world.

From the rift, a mysterious evil creature surged forth.

Those evil creatures were incredibly powerful, their cultivation methods were entirely different from ours in this world.

More importantly, they were extremely cruel and bloodthirsty, almost consuming living creatures on sight."

His voice became grave.

"And their ultimate goal was to directly devour the origins of each Life Realm."

Lu Qing’s pupils slightly contracted.

Devour the World Origin?

Gui Xu Taoist continued, "At that time, the great powers of the Human Race exerted tremendous effort to annihilate the first batch of evil creatures completely.

Yet, despite this, the starry sky suffered extensive damage.

Many Life Realms were breached, origins devoured, utterly annihilated."

"And those great powers, through a Soul Search of the evil creatures, discovered a terrifying fact."

"What fact?" Lu Qing asked.

Gui Xu Taoist said, "Those evil creatures were merely the vanguard.

They came from another world, whose powerful beings coveted our starry sky.

It wouldn’t be long before more evil beings arrived here to ravage us completely."

Lu Qing remained silent.

Gui Xu Taoist continued, "After learning this news, the great powers of the Human Race conferred and ultimately made a decision."

"What decision?" Lu Qing asked.

Gui Xu Taoist said, "They decided to take the initiative.

Absolutely not allowing the great battle to occur in their own starry sky.

Otherwise, even if they could eventually annihilate all the invaders, the entire starry sky would be left riddled with scars and suffer severe losses.

Those Life Realms, those mortal living creatures, would vanish in smoke from this great battle."

"So, they chose to take the initiative?" Lu Qing asked.

Gui Xu Taoist nodded, "Yes, at that time, the strongest great powers of the Human Race used the coordinates obtained from the Divine Souls of the evil creatures to enter the other world and intercept those evil beings. Among those great powers was Xuanhua."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Even, for the safety of their own starry sky, after those great powers left, they sealed the passage and coordinates of this world to prevent the enemy from discovering them.

They embraced the determination of certain death, intending to use their lives to win a chance of Vitality for this starry sky."

Upon hearing this, an indescribable emotion surged in Lu Qing’s heart.

Those ancient great powers chose to take the initiative to protect this starry sky.

They were willing to exchange their lives for the peace of this starry sky.

Lu Qing was silent for a moment, then asked, "In that case, how did the Dark Abyss come into being?

Why did Xuanhua’s corpse appear there?

Moreover, why are there so few records of those ancient great powers in the starry sky today?"

Gui Xu Taoist looked at him and slowly said, "This involves another secret."
