"Zhao Xuan..."

Listening to the slightly sarcastic words of the middle-aged man, Old Jin gently shook his head.

"If I'm not mistaken, you, who can carve out an independent space in the present world and let the Supreme Heaven Purification Field descend, have already reached the 'quasi-Tier Seven' level, haven't you?"

"My little apprentice told me, a year ago, you caused a massacre in the Lower District. Back then, I suspected you did it to collect the Celestial Ku Blessing, which is why you were so merciless to the civilians."

"And now it seems you succeeded at the time. But what I don't understand is, since you already have an 'Initial Sequence' and have reached quasi-Tier Seven, why do you still want to meddle in this matter and try to snatch the Saint's Remains?"

"Though we've always been opponents in the past, and I have opinions about you personally, I also know that you, Zhao Xuan, aren't the kind of person who is insatiably greedy and would block the path to ascension after attaining enlightenment."

"So... why did you choose to join the battle?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan fell silent, and the momentum he exhibited earlier slightly faded.

He glanced at Old Jin and then looked back at the now silent Great Colosseum before sighing softly and murmuring, "You're right. Having received the Celestial Ku Blessing, I should have become a True God and fulfilled the promises I made—"

"To cleanse all the injustices and impurities of the world, reshape human morals, not to mention create an eternal Utopia, but at least forge a century-long era of peace."

"The problem is, the Celestial Ku Blessing I received is incomplete... I only got 70 percent of it; the remaining 30 percent is still missing."

"Due to the lack of this part of the Initial Sequence, I not only lost my flesh but am stuck at the quasi-Tier Seven stage... You know, once anything loses its flesh, it signifies death... Quasi-Tier Seven and above might avoid death, but the moment we lose our flesh, we lose any ability to advance."

"Unless..."

The man named Zhao Xuan paused, and Old Jin slowly spoke, answering the question for him.

"Unless you can obtain another Initial Sequence, completely remove the 'quasi' label, and attempt to restore your flesh. That's why you're competing with me for the Saint's Remains."

Zhao Xuan silently nodded.

"In this case, I can somewhat understand you."

Old Jin sighed. Although his mentality is steel-like, he can understand the desire of a Tier Six strongman trying to break through to Tier Seven.

This is something most elite strongmen spend a lifetime seeking. No matter how noble their mental state, they ultimately can't overcome their yearning for it.

"But I'm quite curious."

Old Jin changed his tone and asked seriously, "How could the Celestial Ku Blessing you received be lacking so much? 30 percent? That's enough to create a peak Tier Six strongman, isn't it?"

"Who knows?"

Zhao Xuan sighed softly and murmured, "We confirmed back then that there wasn't a single survivor left, not even animals like cats or dogs; everything was cleared out. How could there be any escapees... Could a few criminals have evaded my perception ability?"

Old Jin was somewhat silent.

He seemed to recall something, turned around, and looked at his disciples but ultimately said nothing.

Meanwhile, hidden in the crowd, Yun You lowered her head as a flash of surprise appeared in her masked eyes.

"Thirty percent... Celestial Ku Blessing..."

"Could the thirty percent of the blessing be on me? But... why?"

Yun You couldn't figure it out.

She didn't know why so much blessing amassed on her or how she survived Zhao Xuan's clutches that day.

From Zhao Xuan's words, she roughly understood his strength—a veteran Tier Six Apprentice Death God, extremely powerful, capable of defeating Old Jin thirty years ago.

Such a super strongman usually has extremely powerful perception abilities. A mere thought can let one's spiritual power cover an entire city district, detecting the movement trajectory of every dust particle in the air, exploring each breath hidden beneath bricks.

Under such circumstances, Yun You shouldn't have survived; she wasn't special compared to others a year ago.

Yet she survived the massacre and acquired unique power.

"Could... the Celestial Ku Blessing have protected me?"

Thinking this, Yun You couldn't help but think of Red Scale.

In her cultivation to date, she holds several powerful cards.

But accompanying her from beginning to end, the weapons and cards she's most familiar with are Red Scale and Master Zero who hides in the scales.

"Um... Master Zero..."

The little girl lowered her head, silently asking in her heart, "Do you think our Red Scale might be given by the Celestial Ku Blessing?"

[To be honest, I don't know either, as my memory isn't complete either]

Master Zero, as usual, was honest.

[But I must tell you, Yun-child... Whenever I hear the name 'Tian Kui', inexplicably, a fire kindles within me]

[I seem to detest this name, and the thing it represents, as if bearing an irreconcilable enmity with it] 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

[Therefore, I can only guess that the so-called Celestial Ku Blessing has nothing to do with me but whether it's related to your 'Eating' ability and different sequences, that I can't say]
