Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity-Chapter 702 - 490: Astonishing Huge Background (1st Update)_1
Chapter 702: Chapter 490: Astonishing Huge Background (1st Update)_1
He needed a truth, the Stone Clan needed a truth, and countless beings on the Sin Continent also needed a truth.
Even if this truth is brutal, the forces involved are numerous, and the associated personalities are important, the truth can never be buried.
Most importantly.
In the countless years that Shi Hao has seen a corner of the past, the image displayed was inside the vast Imperial Pass.
The center of the image was an ancient city.

Majestically boundless, larger than the Stars’ Fight, it spanned between Heaven and Earth, standing in the Heavenly Abyss, almost identical to the Imperial City seen today, albeit more ancient and primitive.
However, the scene presented in that corner was very strange. It seemed that some unknown circumstance occurred in the ancient city. All the city gates were tightly closed, and countless beings in the city were clad in armor and holding weapons, shedding blood on the battlefield, sacrificing their lives, and fighting the beings in that area alone. Yet, they did not receive any support until every being in the entire ancient city perished.
Shi Hao originally thought that after entering the Emperor Gate, he would see that ancient city again, and even better, explore it. However, he never expected that everything had already changed drastically. What he had seen before was just a projection of the past years. The ancient city had long disappeared and was nowhere to be found.
At this moment, all traces had disappeared, and an invisible force was obstructing everything in the dark. Yet the more it was this way, the more it was abnormal. The more it was this way, the more it signified that the hidden secret it contained might be unimaginably huge. Once it was exposed, it would perhaps provoke unimaginable turbulence.
Shi Hao knew in his heart that with his own power, he was likely not able to understand what had happened originally.
Therefore, when he sensed Jiang Hui’s appearance, he immediately came back without stopping.
To be exact, it should be the Guiding Stone in his hand that felt Jiang Hui’s presence. This was something he discovered not long ago. Before the supreme existence of Liu Village was about to appear, the Guiding Stone would suddenly emanate a faint warmth.
“In ancient times, the Stone Clan had seven Supremes, all of whom reached the Supreme Realm of the Extreme Path and were crowned the title of the first royal clan in the Upper Realm. All ten thousand clans honored them. The seven Supremes were born with the character ‘sin’ in their patterns. Therefore, in that era, the character ‘sin’ was seen as a symbol of supreme honor. You should have some understanding of this!”
As Jiang Hui’s gaze swept over Shi Hao, he began to speak leisurely.
“I understand some, but not as comprehensively as the senior!”
Shi Hao nodded, he had indeed seen some scattered records in ancient books, but they were only half-baked. They briefly described the glory of the Stone Clan with a few sentences but did not mention where the sin patterns originated.
He originally thought that these sin patterns developed later in life, but he didn’t expect them to be present from birth!
Shi Hao was internally enlightened, sorting and categorizing the useful information in his heart, then quietly waited for the supreme existence of Liu Village to continue speaking.
This section did not necessarily relate to them becoming sinners and being seen as ominous by the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
However, Shi Hao did not show any impatience because he knew that once the Master of Liu Village had begun speaking, he would certainly elaborate on what had happened in that period of the past. This was just the speaking habit and style of the supreme existence of Liu Village; he would not change it no matter how anxious others were.
If Jiang Hui knew what Shi Hao was thinking, he would benefit greatly by giving this future Emperor Huang Tian a heavy hit in the head. He just hadn’t organized his language well for a moment,
“However, if one were to speak of it, the Sin Knight patterns of your clan did not first appear in ancient times, but during the even more distant Immortal Ancient. You should have heard of this aspect.
During that more ancient period, one of your ancestors was crowned a king, the Stone King, due to his extraordinary achievements. He stood alongside a few other Kings, known as the Seven Kings of the Borderlands, defending the frontier and guarding one area of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.”
“The junior has heard a little. In the past, the Stone King’s ancestors were bestowed with supreme glory in the Imperial City, their sin-blood illuminated the sky, it was a great spectacle of the time.”
Shi Hao nodded.
Although these secrets were not found in the classic books, there were always some rumors passed down, spoken from mouth to mouth by everyone.
“There’s one thing you got wrong, the Stone King is not the progenitor of your Stone Clan, but the old ancestor. A difference of one word makes a world of difference. The real identity of the Stone King is a direct descendant of your clan’s old ancestor, a True Immortal Existence. As for the progenitor of your clan, he had already successfully ascended to the Immortal King at the time, was on the same generational level as No End and Reincarnation. They had an exalted status and there was no such thing as meritorious service or coronation. According to Alien Territory, your clan was more like an Imperial Clan.”
Jiang Hui said leisurely, his voice vast and hovering, reaching into Shi Hao’s ears.
He did not speak nonsense, as there were relevant records in the original text,
Shi Hao, who had already learned everything, had once returned to Stone Village from the Lower Realm. In order to get the people of Stone Village out of their state of decline, he spoke out the truth of the past and openly declared that they were descendants of the Seven Kings and that their progenitor was a true King.
Some people believe that the Seven Kings of the Borderlands were of the Immortal King Level; this is not the case. The Nine Heavens and Ten Lands are neither Alien Territory nor Immortal Domain, and Existences at the Immortal King Level are extremely rare, barely including the Willow God, No End, Reincarnation, the Ten Evil, and others.
Among the Ten Evil, except for the True Dragon, the rest, in strict sense, are not yet at the Immortal King Level. They are only able to confront existences at the Immortal King Level when using their evil forces, but the channeling of these evil forces requires the consumption of their own life force and blood essence. Even the Ten Evil cannot be channeling these forces all the time. There are intervals when they need to recuperate and restore themselves.
“True Immortal, Immortal King, comparable to an Alien Imperial Clan…”
Upon hearing Jiang Hui’s words, Shi Hao’s entire being was almost instinctively astounded. Then, his eyes burst with light, and his face was instantly filled with disbelief.
This information had completely exceeded his expectations, stirring up turbulent waves in his heart which took a long while to calm.
He had initially assumed that the Stone King’s strength was at most at the Supreme Realm Level of the Extreme Path, similar to Meng Tian Zheng and Wang Chang Sheng, or maybe even inferior. He never expected that the other party’s actual realm was that of a True Immortal Existence, and their progenitor was even an Immortal King, a figure of astonishing status. Assuming such glory could continue until now, the Stone Clan would absolutely be the strongest clan in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, with no one to rival them.
However, the more it was so, the thicker the fog of doubt grew in Shi Hao’s heart.
His ancestors were already so powerful, not to mention there were six other clans besides the Stone Clan, all of them were crowned with the title of King, which meant the strength of the Seven Kings should not differ much. It was very likely they all existed at the same realm, the True Immortal Realm.
This kind of combination, even at the time, was unimaginable. It represented the most brilliant glory. Any random act would make the Nine Heavens and the Ten Lands shake, and saying they were the supreme lords of the world seemed appropriate.
However, up to today, not only have the Seven Kings all perished, their descendants have all been classified as sinners, and their former glory has vanished, but those once lowly forces have bloomed like wildfire, becoming the dominating existences of today.
