Chapter 4674 The whole story

Liu Wuxie listened quietly, while three burly men sat to the side, oblivious to the passage of time, each with a solemn expression.

Through Long Ling's description, Liu Wuxie basically understood what had happened back then, and combined it with his own memories to completely connect the dots.

Long Ling only knew about the battle 300,000 years ago. As for what happened between her master and mistress before, she knew nothing. Back then, Gu Su girl did not hesitate to expend her own Dao source in order to save the remaining Heavenly God Army. Only then did she successfully save the three of them and a small part of the Heavenly God Army, while she herself completely fell into the Void Realm.

“My lord, it is indeed as Long Ling said. If it weren’t for Miss Gu Su back then, the three of us brothers and the remaining Heavenly God Army would have been wiped out long ago. After Miss Gu Su saved us, she let us stay in the Heavenly Realm to wait for your return.”

Fifth Brother said with a sigh.

They never expected that their lord and Miss Gusu had such a past. No wonder Miss Gusu spared no effort to save them.

"Tell me, what exactly happened back then, and who am I?"

After hearing Long Ling's description, Liu Wuxie felt even more guilty towards the girl from Gusu. He vowed to go to the Netherworld as soon as he finished dealing with things here and rescue her.

The memories in the fourth primordial spirit only show that he was killed by his elder brother. As for his identity, origin, and why his elder brother killed him, he only has a vague understanding.

Although he had some suspicions, he didn't want to admit it.

After some conversation, Liu Wuxie learned the names of the three men. The burly man who had saved him was the fifth oldest, and the people around him called him Liu Wu. The man sitting to his left was the seventh oldest, and everyone habitually called him Liu Qi. The youngest man to his right was called Liu Shi.

Of Liu Yi to Liu Shi, only three survived.

"Does Master remember who killed you?"

Liu Wu's gaze fell on Liu Wuxie's face, and he asked with a solemn expression.

"I only know that my eldest brother killed me, but I don't know why he killed me."

Liu Wuxie briefly explained the fragmented memories.

If those three were indeed his subordinates back then, it wouldn't hurt to tell them. Besides, the Dragon Spirit had already confirmed their identities; they did indeed retain his aura.

"Our lord probably doesn't know his identity before his reincarnation. If he did, he would understand everything."

As Liu Wu spoke, a chilling aura emanated from his eyes.

Long Ling sat to the side. She didn't know her master's previous identity. She only knew about the relationship between her master and the mistress. She also learned a little about the Heavenly God Army from the mistress later. She didn't know much.

"What identity?"

Liu Wuxie asked in confusion, as he really didn't know what his identity was in his previous life.

"The direct descendant of the Holy Emperor of the Eastern Holy Dynasty!"

Liu Wu spoke slowly and deliberately, and it was clear that the Eastern Holy Dynasty was no ordinary place.

"What does this have to do with my brother assassinating me?"

Liu Wuxie was completely bewildered. Since he was the direct descendant of the Holy Prince of the Eastern Holy Dynasty, with a very high status and surrounded by many experts, it was undoubtedly a pipe dream to kill him.

"Because the eldest prince was not born of the Holy Mother, His Majesty may not yet understand the rules of the Holy Dynasty. Each Holy Dynasty has only one Holy Mother, whose bloodline is extremely pure. Only children born to the Holy Mother are considered legitimate. Although the eldest prince was born a few years earlier than His Majesty, his bloodline is far inferior to His Majesty's. According to the rules of the Holy Dynasty, children who are not born of the Holy Mother have no right to inherit the Holy Emperor's throne."

Liu Wu briefly explained the rules of the Holy Dynasty, and Liu Wuxie then realized that he was actually the Holy Prince of the Eastern Holy Dynasty, with a high status and identity. His father was the Holy Emperor, and his mother was a Holy Mother. Both of them were top-level experts in the Desolate Ancient Divine Realm.

"You mean, my elder brother wanted to seize the throne of the Holy Emperor, so he plotted to kill me."

Liu Wuxie understood the meaning behind Liu Wu's words.

Throughout history, whether in the mortal realm, the immortal realm, or among imperial dynasties, the struggles have been particularly fierce, with fratricide and father-son killings being commonplace.

"Not entirely. The rules of the Ancient Divine Realm are strict. If the First Prince wanted to openly deal with you, he would inevitably face condemnation from his ministers. The cause of this matter dates back to after the Holy Emperor was seriously injured. After his injury, the Holy Emperor's health was not as good as before, and the Eastern Holy Dynasty did not develop well in those years. The Holy Emperor decided to arrange a marriage between you and the princess of the Golden Light Holy Dynasty to consolidate the position of the Eastern Holy Dynasty. Given the Holy Emperor's talent at the time, the Golden Light Holy Dynasty naturally had no objections. They were only a second-level Holy Dynasty, inferior to the Eastern Holy Dynasty in both status and rank. The marriage was entirely beneficial to them. In addition, the Holy Maiden of the Seven Star Sect also extended an olive branch, willing to marry her to the Holy Emperor. With the three parties joining forces, not only was the Eastern Holy Dynasty's position consolidated..." The status of the Eastern Holy Dynasty could also elevate the rank of the Golden Light Holy Dynasty. The Seven Star Sect faced a similar situation years ago, plagued by internal strife. Only a marriage alliance with a Holy Dynasty could solidify their foundation. The three parties reached an agreement, and just as the marriage was about to take place, news of an alien invasion arrived. The other major Holy Dynasties simultaneously dispatched troops, and the Eastern Holy Dynasty was no exception. However, upon arriving at the battle zone, there were no other Holy Dynasty experts present; only their Lord led the Heavenly God Army to confront the aliens. At that time, the aliens had mobilized their entire force, their numbers overwhelming, and without support from other Holy Dynasties, they were ultimately defeated. They could have safely retreated, but unexpectedly, the First Prince suddenly appeared and severely wounded their Lord with the Holy Sun Bow, leading to his demise.

Liu Wu recounted the events of that year in detail.

After hearing Liu Wu's explanation, Liu Wuxie fell silent.

"You mean we were tricked back then!"

Endless killing intent flashed in Liu Wuxie's eyes.

"That battle shattered the Ancient God Realm, and we were separated from it. We don't know what happened afterward, but we are certain that it was all a conspiracy."

Liu Wu said with absolute certainty.

Resisting the alien races is the responsibility of all holy dynasties. Why are there no traces of the powerful figures from other holy dynasties? It is obvious that someone wants to use the alien races to eliminate them.

"It's just the position of Holy Emperor. If my elder brother needs it, I will give it to him. Why do you have to resort to such underhanded means to kill innocent brothers?"

Liu Wuxie clenched his fists, his eyes filled with endless killing intent. He wished he could rush back to the Desolate Ancient God Realm right now and ask why his elder brother had done this.

"Your Majesty may not know, but the Crown Prince has long admired the Holy Maiden of the Seven Stars Sect. It is said that the Holy Maiden of the Seven Stars Sect, Qingwu, is as beautiful as a celestial being and has been ranked among the top ten beauties in the Ancient Divine Realm many times. She has countless suitors. The princess of the Golden Light Holy Dynasty, who is to be married to Your Majesty, is also among the top ten beauties. The Crown Prince has admired them for a long time. When he learned that they were to be married to Your Majesty, the Crown Prince went to the Holy Emperor to make a scene several times, but each time he was reprimanded by the Holy Emperor."

Liu Wu said with a helpless expression.

"Things aren't as simple as you think. Someone who has reached that level of cultivation wouldn't be swayed by beauty. There must be something we don't know about this."

After pondering for a moment, Liu Wuxie felt that there were too many things that were not right.

The eldest prince of the Holy Dynasty is no ordinary person; he can have any woman he desires, so how could he possibly make a mistake in this matter?

"Does Your Majesty know anything else?"

Liu Wu also sensed something was wrong. The eldest prince usually seemed gentle and refined, not the kind of wicked person. When he shot their lord, they even doubted that they had seen wrong.

"The information I received from the alien races is that they did not attack the Ancient God Realm back then. They received news that the human race was attacking the alien races, so they sent a large army to intercept them. According to your description just now, it was the alien races that actively invaded the Ancient God Realm, so they sent an army to fight back. So one side must be lying. As for who it is, it is not clear yet."

Liu Wuxie recounted in detail the information he had obtained from the alien race.

"This……"

Liu Wu, Liu Qi, and Liu Shi were stunned.

For 300,000 years, they had always believed that it was the alien race that attacked the Ancient God Realm. Suddenly, their master told them that the alien race had not attacked the Ancient God Realm at all; they were merely on the defensive.

"Could this be a conspiracy against our Lord?!"

Liu Wu, Liu Qi, and Liu Shi all spoke at the same time.

“I will investigate the specifics of what happened once we return to the Ancient God Realm. Now tell me, how many Heavenly God Army soldiers do you still have, and why did Miss Gusu ask you to stay and wait for me?”

Through Liu Wu, Liu Wuxie and Long Ling connected all the events, and Liu Wuxie was quite certain that the fourth primordial spirit was his previous life, but he didn't know which one.

"There are still five hundred Heavenly Gods, stationed in various parts of the Heavenly Realm. As for why Miss Gusu asked us to stay, we don't know. She just told us to strictly follow the instructions and not to reveal our identities. We must wait for the Lord to return."

Liu Wu carefully explained the things that the girl from Suzhou had told them back then.

Liu Wuxie fell into deep thought again. Only by finding the girl from Gusu could the truth be revealed. Why should Liu Wu and the others stay?

It seems that even the Old Ancestor Ye Hongyi was sent to the mortal realm on the orders of the Miss Gusu, with the aim of protecting her safety.

All of this was like a huge ball of yarn. Liu Wuxie felt he was very close to the truth, but found that there were still too many things that could not be explained.

"Tell me about the overall structure of the Ancient God Realm, and where the Eastern Holy Dynasty ranks within it."

Liu Wuxie put everything else out of his mind. Now that they had confirmed each other's identities, he spoke much more freely. He was now eager to know more about the Ancient God Realm.

"The Ancient Divine Realm is divided into seven continents: Dongling Prefecture, Nanyue Prefecture, Xihai Prefecture, and Beimo Prefecture. These four continents are composed of many holy dynasties, while the remaining three continents are governed by various aristocratic families and holy sects: Tianxu Prefecture, Daoling Prefecture, and the most mysterious Wansheng Prefecture."

Liu Wu gave a brief explanation of the original layout of the Ancient Divine Realm.

So many years have passed, and he doesn't actually know how far the Ancient God Realm has developed. The information he knows is still from 300,000 years ago.

According to Liu Wu's description, the Eastern Holy Dynasty is located in Dongling Prefecture and is a first-level holy dynasty. Below it are many second-level and third-level holy dynasties, which pay tribute to the Eastern Holy Dynasty every year.

The same applies to the other states. The strongest of the first-level holy dynasties rule over a large number of second-level and third-level holy dynasties, making them absolute overlords.

Tianxu Prefecture, Daoling Prefecture, and Wansheng Prefecture do not have a Holy Dynasty, but they are occupied by countless Holy Sects. Their status is extraordinary and no less than that of the major Holy Dynasties.

"Are there any other dimensions besides the seven states?"

Liu Wuxie frowned slightly. Ever since his debut, he had always felt that there was an invisible hand secretly controlling everything.
