Tiantai Xuan seemed to know what Xiao Chen was thinking. Xiao Chen didn't say anything after hearing this. Instead, he continued to wait for her to continue.
Tiantai Xuan was known as the Heavenly Lady in the Desolate Border Region. This was without a doubt. Whether it was her appearance or her strength, she could be considered a peerless beauty. Even before Xiao Chen's rise, Tiantai Xuan was one of the most famous geniuses in the Desolate Border Region. She was quite famous even in the Eastern Wasteland and the Southern Region.
"Clan Leader Xiao, you should know about reincarnation. The True Spirit is not destroyed and can be reborn!" said the Heavenly Lady to Xiao Chen casually.
"Reincarnation!"
Murmured Xiao Chen. He knew what Tiantai Xuan was talking about. In this world, no matter if it was the Human Clan or the Hundred Clans, when strong cultivators died, their True Spirits were stable. After they died, they entered the cycle of reincarnation. By chance, there was still a trace of True Spirit that couldn't be destroyed. They could be reborn in the next life and awaken the True Spirit.
And those who were qualified to reincarnate and cultivate again were all top-notch cultivators in the Desolate Borderlands. They even had to be at the Ninth Level of the Chong Lou Realm. Only when the Chong Lou Realm was stable would they be qualified to reincarnate. This meant that if what Tiantai Xuan said was true, she was once at least a half-King-level cultivator.
That also explained why he hadn't seen Tiantai Xuan for a few years. When they fought for the Thunder Wood, she was only at the Fifth Sky of the Chong Lou Realm. But now, she was stronger than him. Obviously, she had awakened the True Spirit. He just didn't know if what she said was true. Was she Tiantai Xuan now? Or was she the True Spirit that couldn't be destroyed?
At the same time, Xiao Chen would not easily come to a conclusion based on her one-sided statement.
Tiantai Xuan also understood that it was not that easy to dispel the doubts in Xiao Chen's heart. At their current level, before they could see the essence of a matter clearly, they would not easily make a decision.
"Clan Leader Xiao, I can't tell you many of my secrets, but in the land of the Mortal World, if my identity is really bad, I would have nowhere to hide since the Human Clan's Fortune is boundless and omnipresent, and I would have nowhere to hide long ago!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded his head. The will of the Human Tribe possessed supreme power. As long as there were humans, the will of the Human Tribe would descend. Although this will was difficult to manifest, it did not mean that it did not exist. This was the foundation of the Human Tribe's reproduction and inheritance.
"Tiantai's Holy Girl, why did you ask me to come out? Now, the Desolate Border is full of dangers. The Milky Way is tearing apart the sky. I'm sure you're also under a lot of pressure."
Then, Xiao Chen suppressed the doubts in his heart. The truth about the divinity in Tiantai Xuan's body would be revealed one day.
"Today, I have something to ask of you, Clan Leader Xiao!" said Tiantai Xuan, smiling sweetly. The divinity around her made her look even more noble and inviolable.
"You're joking, Holy Girl. Everybody knows that Tiantai's Holy Girl is beautiful and talented. Many people from the other parts of the world come here to ask for her hand in marriage. If there's anything you need, you can ask for help and all the young men in the Great Desolate Border will flock to you!"
"They can't give me what I want, and they're not qualified either. Only Clan Leader Xiao can give me what I want!"
Said Tiantai Xuan, her eyes twinkling. She looked like she was lost in thought. "You're too kind, Clan Leader Xiao.
"Goddess, you really think too highly of this Xiao. Since you think so highly of me, this matter will definitely be extremely important. Who in the desolate lands doesn't know that my Gu Yuan tribe's foundation is shallow and we rose up too quickly? If it's truly a major matter, you should head to other regions. I presume those human lands that have supreme king tribes suppressing them definitely have what you want!"
"What if the Great Desolate Border doesn't have a treasure like that?" asked Tiantai Xuan.
"If the Great Desolate Border doesn't have a treasure, how could the Gu Yuan Tribe have one? Even if all the battalions in the Great Desolate Border worked together, they wouldn't be able to compete against a Great Desolate Border Tribe."
"No, they wouldn't be qualified to compete!"
Xiao Chen found Tiantai Xuan's background more and more mysterious.
"Clan Leader Xiao, do you know why the Hundred Clans haven't given up after so many years? They want to take over this land again!" Tiantai Xuan changed the topic, which piqued Xiao Chen's interest.
For a long time, the ordinary people of the Great Desolate Border Tribe had thought that resisting the invasion of the Strange Races had been deeply ingrained in their blood. Generation after generation, they seemed to have remembered it in their hearts. However, they subconsciously ignored the deeper reason.
It was because the Strange Races were too cruel, eating humans as food!
But now, the Hundred Clans lived in a miniature world outside the Great Desolate Border Tribe's Human World. It had been countless years, so they could be said to have gotten used to it long ago. However, they still advanced wave after wave, regardless of the bloody battle, in order to create this fertile land.
"To the ordinary people of the Great Desolate Border Tribe, it's because the Strange Races are too cruel and want to take away the land of the Desolate Border Tribe. However, to the great existences who have truly stepped into the ranks of the heavens, both the Desolate Border Tribe and the Strange Races will truly understand the true secret behind this!"
Xiao Chen took in a deep breath, and a sliver of curiosity appeared in his eyes as he softly said, "Then I'll have to ask for some guidance!"
At the same time, Tiantai Xuan let out a long sigh. Her eyes, which had been full of vigor, dimmed a little. She seemed to have sunk into a memory. The divine light around her made her look even more hazy, like a fairy in the rosy clouds.
After fifteen minutes, Tiantai Xuan finally said softly, "Because only the Human World can remain from ancient times. It's the only place that can connect to the Primordial Chaos World!"
Remain from ancient times!
Primordial Chaos World!
Xiao Chen exclaimed softly. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing, so one could imagine the shock in his heart. Not to mention the Primordial Chaos World, just the Primordial Chaos World itself clearly showed that it was a world.
"As for the Primordial Chaos World, legend has it that the Desolate Border Tribe was originally a world embryo formed in the depths of the Primordial Chaos World. Later on, this world embryo broke apart and evolved into the Desolate Border Tribe. Later on, divine beasts of the Desolate Border Tribe appeared. They were the earliest living beings on this land, born from the Primordial Chaos along with the Desolate Border Tribe. They were also called gods!"
Gods!
This was a taboo word. Just like the current emperor, it represented boundless power. Even the oldest of the Hundred Races, the Blood Race and the Ghost Race, had already reached the twilight of the gods when they were born. The gods fought a great war and then disappeared from the Desolate Border Tribe. Today, only a few mottled bloodlines remained.
"Later on, a great war broke out between the divine beasts, and the Desolate Border Tribe was shattered. Later on, the gods seemed to have mysteriously disappeared. That period of time was called the Dusk of the Gods!"
The Dusk of the Gods!
Along with Tiantai Xuan's words, Xiao Chen slowly learned a few secrets that few knew about. Perhaps if Tiantai Xuan wasn't the reincarnation of a supreme existence, she wouldn't have known about these secrets. At this moment, Xiao Chen felt that Tiantai Xuan's previous identity was even more unfathomable.
"After the disappearance of the gods, the Hundred Races began to rise. Later on, our human race was born. Later on, our ancient human Emperor Aragami led our ancestors to rise up and expel the Hundred Races. The Hundred Races had no choice but to stay outside the Desolate Border Tribe and create small worlds to live in. However, these small worlds cannot exist forever!"
"Cannot exist forever?" Xiao Chen's eyes turned cold and couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
"That's right. Currently, only the top few small worlds of the Hundred Races have been able to prevent their small worlds from collapsing because of the endless number of Sovereigns within their small worlds. However, for some of the lower ranked races, although it's rare for their small worlds to shatter, they do exist. 100,000 years ago, the Thousand Hand Race, which is ranked the lowest of the Hundred Races, had their small world shattered, and their entire race disappeared into the Heavenly Cave!"
What!?
This was true annihilation. What the hundred races of the heavens were fighting for was survival and reproduction!
Ignoring Xiao Chen's shock, Xuan Tiantai continued, "As for the Ancient Chaos Realm, I can only tell you that it has something to do with the Sovereigns. For countless years, there has been an endless number of Sovereigns in each generation. There were even times when there were eight Sovereigns who stood side by side and looked down on the world. It was all because the Ancient Chaos Realm was firmly controlled by our human race!"
Eight Sovereigns, looking down on the world!
If any of the Hundred Races had an Sovereign, the strength of the entire race would instantly skyrocket and the small world would continuously stabilize. However, the Human Race had several Sovereigns in each generation. This was absolutely terrifying. Otherwise, how could the Human Race have firmly controlled the Desolate Border Tribe since ancient times? Even if the other races didn't want to agree, this land was still called the Human World.
Currently, there were only five Sovereigns in the Human World, each guarding a different part of the Human World!
"Thank you for telling me!"
After a short time, Xiao Chen bowed hand over fist at Xuan Tiantai. If no one had told him that, ordinary people wouldn't have known.
"You don't need to. Even if I didn't tell you, when you become that strong, you'll know too. I'm sure it won't take long," said Xuan Tiantai, staring at Xiao Chen.
"Why did you ask me to come here?" asked Xiao Chen after a short time. He didn't hesitate any longer.
"I want to ask you something related to the fate of your Clan!"
