From Li Mo's performance and the Staff of Origin's aura on his soul, Star Lord Sirius was certain.
Li Mo didn't just know about the Staff of Origin. He even had it for a while.
He didn't know how a plain-looking Jiuli tribesman like Li Mo could be related to the Staff of Origin. But since Celestial Emperor told him to wait for the fated owner of the Staff of Origin.
In that case, this kid in front of him was most likely the fated person for the Staff of Origin.
And there was another reason Star Lord Sirius was in such a hurry to show himself.
Not even Star Lord Sirius knew how long he'd been here.
It had been so long that even Star Lord Sirius's spiritual body was on the verge of dissipating.
If he didn't find the fated owner of the Staff of Origin, he might as well keep it a secret and disappear.
"Don't be in such a hurry to refuse."
Star Lord Sirius waved his hand, not letting Li Mo explain or refuse.
The Heavenly Wolf Star Lord flipped his wrist, and a scepter appeared in his hand.
The scepter was covered in complicated patterns, and it looked like there were many parts that were missing.
But Li Mo couldn't stay calm after seeing the scepter.
Li Mo couldn't be more familiar with this scepter. Both his past and present lives revolved around it.
And from the looks of it, the Staff of Origin was also damaged, missing a few pieces.
But the Staff of Origin was so complete that Li Mo never got it in both lives.
In his past life, Li Mo got the majority of the origin fragment. But this scepter was his.
But this scepter was only missing a quarter.
This meant that it was already three-quarters complete, which meant that the abilities it possessed would be even more powerful.
Li Mo's performance made Star Lord Sirius even more certain that Li Mo had a close relationship with the Staff of Origin.
"Maybe this plain-looking Jiuli tribesman's true identity isn't as simple as he looks.
Or maybe he's some great power's avatar. "
Star Lord Sirius muttered. Spiritual avatars were the simplest of avatars.
As long as one was strong enough, they could form spiritual avatars. But this kind of spiritual avatar was something even Spirit Guide and Core Formation cultivators could see.
Moreover, this kind of spiritual body only had one-tenth of the original body's combat power, so this was the lowest Avatar.
There were also some avatars created by almighty beings. The avatar's battle prowess could reach more than one-tenth of the main body's, and the legendary top-notch avatars' battle prowess was not inferior to the main body's.
This is very frightening.
Moreover, some profound incarnations could not be easily recognized by others. In the eyes of others, it was just a life form.
However, such an incarnation technique was not commonly seen.
The legendary Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning's One Breath Turning Into Three Pure Ones was like this. The Celestial Emperor also had a powerful incarnation technique.
But the Heavenly Wolf Star Lord did not.
Thus, Celestial Wolf took Li Mo for one of those great figures. Who would've thought a puny early Core Formation brat would be related to the Staff of Origin?
"Celestial Thearch has fallen, the Heavenly Court has collapsed, and the world is in chaos.
In order to protect the land beneath their feet from the flames of war, the immortals of the Heavenly Court could only fight to the death.
Under the orders of the Celestial Thearch, I broke out of the encirclement with the Staff of Origin and came to the Hundred Thousand Mountains to find the fated one.
But this lord's main body was too heavily injured, it should have fallen long ago.
That is why I left this avatar behind, waiting for the fated one to come … "
The Heavenly Wolf Star Venerate raised his head and looked at the sky outside the cave.
Li Mo lowered his head at Heavenly Wolf's words.
Seeing the Staff of Origin broken, Li Mo knew the ancient Heavenly Court was no more. The other races must've attacked.
With the Staff of Origin in hand, Celestial Emperor fought against the other races and broke the Staff of Origin.
But then he thought of the Heavenly Court's immortals fighting to the death for the safety of the land beneath their feet.
Li Mo's admiration for these immortals came from the bottom of his heart.
And with humanity's primordial artifact broken, Celestial Emperor and the immortals' fates were as clear as day.
Li Mo understood Celestial Wolf's words, but Pang Qiu didn't.
It wanted to find something to eat, but with Celestial Wolf blocking the cave's entrance, there was no way out.
Pang Qiu scratched its head and went to find a dry place to sleep.
Pang Qiu's hunger was the only thing it could do.
Now that master was awake, Pang Qiu thought.
As long as master was here, the sky would not fall.
Celestial Wolf continued without looking at Li Mo and Pang Qiu.
"Jiu Li was once one of the Heavenly Court's generals. When the Heavenly Court collapsed, Jiu Li returned to his tribe and led his people to rise.
But Jiu Li couldn't endure the long years.
Jiu Li had to lead his people to Myriad Mountains and set up an array. First, it could protect the tribe.
Second, Jiu Li knew I was here and knew I had the Staff of Origin.
"Jiu Li wanted to borrow the Staff of Origin to break through and increase his lifespan.
But I was entrusted by Celestial Emperor to find the fated one. Jiu Li and the Staff of Origin did not resonate. How could I give it to him?
Fortunately, Jiu Li had a strong body, or my spiritual body wouldn't have been able to protect the Staff of Origin. "
Li Mo finally understood from Heavenly Wolf's words.
Jiu Li's ancestor, Jiu Li, was also a member of the Heavenly Court.
Li Mo stepped forward and bowed.
"Can junior try the Staff of Origin?"
This was Li Mo's first meeting with Celestial Wolf, be it when he was alive or after, he followed Celestial Emperor's will.
They all followed Celestial Emperor's will. This alone convinced Li Mo.
"Alright."
Since Celestial Wolf showed up, he wanted Li Mo to see if he could resonate with the Staff of Origin.
Celestial Wolf Sovereign stood up and handed the Staff of Origin to Li Mo.
The Heavenly Wolf Star Venerate's eyes never left the Staff of Origin.
His eyes were so respectful, as if he was looking at Celestial Emperor.
Li Mo took the Staff of Origin with both hands and examined it.
But the Staff of Origin was as calm in Li Mo's hands as it was in Celestial Wolf's.
Li Mo fiddled with the Staff of Origin for a long time, yet the Staff of Origin didn't even budge.
Celestial Wolf's eyes flashed with disappointment. Celestial Wolf muttered in his heart,
"Is this not the fated one Celestial Emperor spoke of?
Your Majesty, where is this fated one you speak of?
If I can't find the fated one, I … will vanish from this world … "
Weng!
In Celestial Wolf's melancholy, a soft chirp came from the cave.
This soft cry was actually so joyful, like a child who had found his parents of many years, or a lonely person who had found a bosom friend of many years.
The cave was filled with a sacred light.
