Chapter 900: Chapter 252: Master and Servant, Westward Journey, Heart-Slaying

"The Secret Technique Stele from the Ancient God Era has some parts hidden in the Western Pole."

"The Western Pole is actually even more vast than imagined. Beidou once said that during that era, the Divine Tomb was still located east of the Ancestral Land, considered quite far to the east, and had little to do with the Western Pole."

"But later on, much of the Ancestral Land was swallowed. By the time of the Xia Dynasty, not much was left.

Moreover, five or six thousand years ago, a group of strong Xia Dynasty figures performed the Yin Yang Diversion Skill, causing much of the Ancestral Land to be engulfed by ice and snow, leading those who came later to believe that the ice-covered land there was the Western Pole."

The wheels spun as the Firefly Demon steered the Imperial Carriage, explaining to Li Yuan.

The direction they were heading was towards the west.

"What is the Ancestral Land?" Li Yuan asked casually.

The Firefly Demon couldn’t help but twitch her eyelid, but she still replied honestly, "The Ancestral Land is the beginning of everything, and the end of everything. Legend has it that heaven and earth were born here and will end here."

"Before the Xia Dynasty, what swallowed the Ancestral Land?" Li Yuan asked openly. He had spent years seeking out the Firefly Demon just for a ’brand-new version of a guide spirit.’

The Firefly Demon said, "I... I don’t know."

"Don’t know?" Li Yuan frowned, deliberately raising his voice by a few degrees.

The Firefly Demon hurriedly said, "Withering, it’s withering! Those worlds broke apart and turned into chaotic Broken Voids!"

"Weren’t you unsure?" Li Yuan’s voice pretended to be cold.

The Firefly Demon cried, "I... I’m completely unsure. This is something I heard from the Celestial Emperor of the Xia Dynasty. How dare I confirm its truth?"

"It’s okay, you can tell me anything regardless." Li Yuan said gently.

"Yes, young master."

The Firefly Demon was now particularly terrified, afraid she couldn’t show her value and would be abandoned.

"What is the dispute of the Imperial Alien?" Li Yuan asked again.

The Firefly Demon was already numb, continuing to answer these common sense questions, "absolute secrets to the world, but ones Southern Dipper seniors absolutely knew": "It’s a game between big figures, I know very little, no... no... I know, I’ve speculated."

"The dispute of the Imperial Alien is actually just a contest for the ownership of this Ancestral Land.

Whoever obtains it will control the direction of heaven and earth’s future and will possess more vitality when the coming catastrophic future arrives."

"What catastrophe?" Li Yuan continued to ask.

After asking, perhaps feeling he was going too far, he added, "I woke up one day, realizing I can’t remember many things clearly."

The Firefly Demon initially thought he had the "Longevity Species’ unpredictable temperament", but at this moment, her heart couldn’t help but scream "Who would believe?"

But now, besides binding with this incredibly mysterious man in front of her and wholeheartedly serving him, there was no second path.

The man before her could do anything to her, and also order her to do anything.

She was clearly not a woman with any pride, so as long as she could stay alive, she would do her utmost to please the man before her.

She sorted through her thoughts and said, "Beidou says that this world is on the brink of destruction. He must jump out before the destruction; otherwise, he won’t have a burial place."

Li Yuan pondered, "So he chose the Great Unity of Yin Yang."

Firefly Demon quickly replied, "Yes, young master, the Great Unity of Yin Yang will allow the Taiyin, Taiyang, Life to reappear, these three Ancient Halls hidden within Chaos.

Although Beidou hasn’t mentioned it, I speculate that the secrets allowing him to escape from this realm must be hidden within those three Ancient Halls.

That’s why he would go to great lengths to plan and scheme, eventually bringing the Great Unity of Yin Yang."

Li Yuan was curious, "Then... why does the Dragon Vein reject the Great Unity of Yin Yang?"

The Firefly Demon said, "The Dragon Vein is Ziwei.

Why Ziwei would reject the Great Unity of Yin Yang, Beidou didn’t say.

But I speculate, Ziwei must be hoping for this land to restore itself, not be destroyed.

The Yin Yang Diversion was initially meant to resist the fragmentation of peripheral spaces, but the Great Unity of Yin Yang is entirely accelerating the depletion of this world’s potential.

Aside from this..."

She lowered her head slightly, then took a deep breath, saying, "I speculate, the secret hidden in this land might only allow one Star Spirit to leap out...

Whether one person jumps out or a whole world survives, different Star Spirits make different choices."

After explaining, she quickly added, "Young master, it’s all my wild guesses, my guesses don’t count. Even if... even if this land is to be destroyed, it won’t happen within thousands of years. Certainly, at least tens of thousands of years still remain."

Li Yuan nodded, not speaking further.

He opened the carriage curtain, gazing at the outside world.

The land restored, the world moving towards the unknown.

But this unknown is bound to lean towards destruction.

Yet, what does this destruction have anything to do with ordinary people?

With their hundred-year life span, who cares about world destruction tens of thousands of years later?

Even if these people know the world will be destroyed tens of thousands of years later, they might just "laugh" and say, "Destroyed will be destroyed, what’s the big deal."

...

On the way, they passed through a small town.

This year’s nearby fields unexpectedly had a bountiful harvest, so there was quite a bit of food in town.

The two checked into an inn, eating and drinking to their heart’s content.

At night, after Li Yuan bathed, he heard a knock on the door.

The Firefly Demon walked in gracefully, suddenly took off her outer garment, revealing the green gauze that wrapped around her delicate body beneath, then knelt before Li Yuan, gazing up at the man with a mesmerizing look.

Her breathing had a hint of urgency, her face flushed, and the two petals trailing to the heels were distinctly full.

The intention was plain.

Li Yuan was momentarily stunned, then suddenly recalled the scene in the cave, but back then he posed that appearance deliberately just to pretend as the Extraterrestrial Star.
