Seeing the look of shock on the old man’s face, everyone’s hearts in the Ye Family felt as though they were being fiercely squeezed by an invisible hand. Ye Qiu, even more curious and puzzled, urgently asked, "Grandfather, what do you mean by that?"

Mr. Ye slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, trying his best to calm the surging emotions inside him. However, the slight tremble in his gaze, like a window that could not be shut tightly, quietly revealed the turmoil within his heart.

With a shaky voice, he said, "You might find it hard to believe, but I actually met him over twenty years ago!"

"???" The Ye Family members, upon hearing this, felt as if they were falling into heavy fog, completely confused and bewildered.

It was known that Xu Wendong appeared to be only in his early twenties, so how could the old man have had any interaction with him over twenty years ago?

This was simply beyond reason and utterly baffling.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn’t help but shiver. Ye Qiu, with even more courage, boldly asked, "Grandfather, are you suggesting that he has some special connection with our Ye Family?"

Mr. Ye was slightly stunned and then, with a stern expression, angrily chided, "Don’t talk nonsense! Someone as extraordinary as Mister Xu is not to be desecrated lightly!"

Ye Qiu did not expect that his grandfather, who had always cherished him, would get so angry, and he immediately showed a look of grievance, with faint tears welling up in his eyes.

"Dad, what exactly are you trying to say?" Ye Qiu’s uncle, Ye Laosan, asked curiously.

Mr. Ye slightly lowered his voice, with a hint of mystery in his gaze, and asked quietly, "Do you know, among the vast universe of Da Xia cultivators, who truly is the supreme Divine being in the hearts of the people?"

Ye Laosan shook his head with a bitter smile and sighed, "The number of Da Xia cultivators is as countless as carp crossing the river, numbering at least in the tens of millions."

"While there are indeed super strong individuals among them capable of summoning wind and rain, moving mountains and filling seas, and some even able to ride flying swords soaring above the Nine Heavens."

"But in the end, they are still mortal beings of flesh and blood. How could there be a true Divine in the literal sense?"

"Dad, could you be referring to Master Xu?" At this moment, Ye Qiu’s father, Ye Xingbang, was utterly shocked, his eyes widened as if he had seen something unbelievable, and goosebumps appeared involuntarily all over his body, his voice trembling slightly.

Upon hearing this.

Everyone gasped in shock, the coldness like a chilly serpent slithering down their throats straight to their hearts.

Master Xu, this title was both unfamiliar and familiar, like a mysterious shadow far in the sky, yet often lingering in people’s ears and minds.

To the citizens of Great Xia, he appeared as an exalted, unassailable Divine being, a sacred presence that could only be looked up to, not to be desecrated in the slightest!

Mr. Ye slightly raised his head, his gaze profound and distant, his voice deep and slow, gently echoing in everyone’s ears: "There have always been ancient legends about Immortals circulating in the world."

"These legends are like elusive clouds, dreamlike and ethereal, mysterious and unpredictable. Although they inspire countless yearnings and reveries, no one has ever truly been fortunate enough to witness the true visage of what is called Immortal."

"Until twenty years ago."

"A legendary figure such as a Divine descended from the heavens—Master Xu emerged suddenly in the sky."

"He was like a brilliantly dazzling star, with unstoppable force slicing through the deep and silent night sky, his blinding radiance shocking the entire world in an instant."

"He engaged in a thrilling, prolonged, and extremely fierce battle with the Eight-Forked Serpent of the Wa Country in Haicheng."

"That battle, the winds and clouds changed color as if the apocalypse had arrived, the heavens and earth quaking intensely, seemingly unable to withstand the terrifying power unleashed by the clash of these supreme beings."

"The fierce winds howled, lightning flashed and thunder roared, the sea surged and rolled, raising waves a thousand feet high, and the entire world seemed to be tottering under the impact of this force."

"Although Master Xu was severely injured, his body stained with blood, he relied on his against-the-heavens divine skills and unyielding, steel-like will to, in a desperate situation, issue a mighty and magnificent call, ’Sword Comes’, awakening the long-dormant Guardian Sword of Great Xia."

"That Guardian Sword, sensing its master’s summons, with endless majesty and sharpness, pierced through the firmament, instantly arriving in Master Xu’s hands."

"Thereupon, wielding the Divine Sword, he displayed a peerless swordsmanship, the sword’s light illuminating the night sky of Haicheng, with every strike containing the force to destroy the heavens and earth."

"Ultimately, he successfully slew the sinister Eight-Forked Serpent of the Wa Country, which had caused so much harm."

"And Master Xu, with his own strength, stood proudly between heaven and earth, elevating the prestige of Great Xia Country, drawing the attention and shock of the entire world!"

"That was his moment of glory, and also a glorious Chapter of our Great Xia!"

Ye Qiu said excitedly, "I remember learning about this in a textbook when I was in elementary school!"

Mr. Yang continued, "That battle is considered earth-shattering, its influence immense, attracting global attention."

"Though the live broadcast did not clearly reveal the full visage of Master Xu for various reasons, leaving only some blurred images, it fortunately captured some of his silhouetted profile."

"I can be certain that the Xu Wendong before our eyes is indeed the legendary, god-like Master Xu of that time!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Time may have changed some of his appearance, but that unique aura and charm emanating from the depths of his soul have remained constant, impossible to disguise, impossible to hide."

"Afterwards, Master Xu left Great Xia, embarking on a journey to the Wa Country."

"He was like an avenger in the night, descending upon the soil of the Wa Country."

As he spoke, Mr. Ye became increasingly excited and passionate: "With a heart full of anger and righteousness, he set fire to the Yasukuni Shrine. The roaring flames devoured that symbol of sin in an instant, reducing it to ruins."

"The flames soared into the sky, illuminating the night of the Wa Country, also igniting the patriotic fervor in countless hearts."

"His action was like a giant stone tossed into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand ripples."

"Moreover, with extraordinary wisdom and strategy, he skillfully incited internal strife within the political circles of the Island Country."

"For a time, internal conflicts were incessant in the Wa Country, political instability rampant, with various factions scheming against each other, plunging into chaos."

"In the midst of these upheavals, Wa Country’s economy suffered a heavy blow, like a giant ship swaying in a storm, gradually declining, until the Wa Country’s economy regressed by thirty years."

"This was his powerful counterattack against Wa Country’s misdeeds, also bringing justice for countless vengeful spirits, allowing countless citizens to feel a sense of pride!"

"In that moment, he became the god in the hearts of countless people!"

"An inviolable god!"
