Chapter 2229 - 2226: No Past Life

"What role did the Mountain Que Immortal King play in that battle back then?"

Ye Xuan voiced the doubt in his heart.

The Desolate Realm Sovereign paused for a moment upon hearing the name, then said somewhat peculiarly, "I do have some impression of this person, but I didn’t see him in that battle."

Ye Xuan squinted slightly, "Didn’t see him? Did he not participate in that battle?"

The Desolate Realm Sovereign shook her head slightly and said, "I don’t know, after all, almost the entire Ancient Immortal Realm participated in that battle. You know how long the endless Great Wall of the Immortal Realm Emperor Pass was."

The scope of that battle back then was too vast.

The Desolate Realm Sovereign naturally had her own battles and had no time to be concerned with others.

Moreover, in the eyes of the Desolate Realm Sovereign, a Mountain Que Immortal King was insignificant.

Back then in the Ancient Immortal Realm, there were many renowned Immortal Kings, like the Nine Immortal Kings, Du Ming Immortal King, and Luo Chen Immortal King.

And beings like the Mountain Que Immortal King, though also an Immortal King, were still quite distant from those Immortal Kings.

The gap with her was also considerable.

This was one of the reasons she didn’t pay much attention to the Mountain Que Immortal King.

Ye Xuan understood after hearing the Desolate Realm Sovereign’s words.

It seemed the Desolate Realm Sovereign couldn’t provide an answer either.

This was something beyond control.

Although Old Shan had vaguely mentioned that battle before, he seemed unwilling to elaborate.

Ye Xuan had also interacted with other ancient beings who participated in that battle.

Such as Luo Chen Immortal King, the Kunlun Woodcutter, Thunder Demon, the First Corpse, and others.

He knew very well that Old Shan probably didn’t play a significant role in that battle.

Adding the subsequent events, Ye Xuan suspected this guy had issues.

Of course, he did not entirely determine Old Shan’s situation.

Firstly, there was no evidence, only suspicion.

Secondly, he could imagine the despair in that battle.

The strongest beings of the Ancient Immortal Realm all joined the fight, yet they still couldn’t overcome that catastrophe.

One can imagine how desperate the beings of that era were.

Surviving desperation was not unusual.

The instinct of all beings is to seek benefit and avoid harm.

Old Shan was no exception.

However, regarding Old Shan’s matters, it requires long-term planning.

"By the way, Emperor Ye, how many giants from the Ancient Immortal Realm are still alive now?"

The Desolate Realm Sovereign, seeing Ye Xuan silent, took the initiative to ask a question.

Ye Xuan withdrew his thoughts, looking at the Desolate Realm Sovereign with a peculiar expression: "Shouldn’t you be asking yourself this?"

The Desolate Realm Sovereign shook her head and replied, "You know, ever since that battle, I have been in the Desolate Realm, with no chance to leave, so I have no idea about the current external circumstances."

This was no lie.

Although she was the Desolate Realm Sovereign, ever since the Ancient Immortal Realm shattered, the Desolate Realm was born.

She sensed the existence of the Raksha Divine King, thus exerting all her strength to suppress it.

Fortunately, the Raksha Divine King was severely wounded in that battle back then, allowing her to suppress it.

Later, the Raksha Divine King would occasionally attempt to break the seal and escape.

The Desolate Realm Sovereign was also exhausted from dealing with it.

It wasn’t until the intervention of the Emperor Burial Lord, helping to reinforce the seal, that the Desolate Realm Sovereign could catch her breath.

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "Currently, very few are still alive, but you need not worry too much, my wife Hong Yao Immortal Emperor is still here."

The Desolate Realm Sovereign: "...Didn’t I say that joke isn’t funny?"

Ye Xuan said calmly, "I’m not joking."

The Desolate Realm Sovereign stared at Ye Xuan, seeing he wasn’t pretending, her expression turned solemn: "Are you serious?"

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes: "Nonsense."

It’s hard to get someone to believe the truth these days.

In the Desolate Realm Sovereign’s blood pupils, strange blood light flickered, as she asked anxiously: "Who were you in your past life?"

If the Undying Night Emperor wasn’t lying, this guy was definitely not an ordinary person, and certainly not born after the destruction of the Ancient Immortal Realm, but existed before.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to become the man of the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor.

Also, as far as she knew, the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor walked the Heartless Path, how could she have a man?

The only explanation is that the Undying Night Emperor is lying.

But the Undying Night Emperor had just confirmed this repeatedly.

The only remaining explanation is that the Undying Night Emperor was likely a hidden giant in his past life.

Only such a being could possibly change the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor’s mind, right?

So thought the Desolate Realm Sovereign.

"Past life?"

Ye Xuan squinted, his eyes dark as ink and profoundly deep, he said slowly: "I have no past life."

How should he define his past life?

Is it the Undying Night Emperor?

Or the young master Ye Xuan of Wan’an City Ye Family?

Neither of these.

These all belong to this life of his.

He had never seen his past life.

When he was the Reincarnation Great Saint of the Seventh Layer, he created one reincarnation body after another.

But Ye Xuan never saw even a trace of reincarnation.

As if he was never within the cycle of reincarnation, naturally, there was no past life to speak of.

This is why Ye Xuan had always planned to visit the Underworld and look at the legendary Book of Life and Death.

Perhaps only there can he find the true answer.

"No past life?"

The Desolate Realm Sovereign looked at Ye Xuan, repeating the words.

Ye Xuan glanced at the Desolate Realm Sovereign and said unhurriedly: "Anyway, I can assure you, she is indeed my wife, and she’s in good condition, so there’s no need to be too pessimistic."

The Desolate Realm Sovereign shook her head slightly: "You may not understand, back then, the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor led the charge, slaying nine Dou Tian Kings in one go, greatly boosting the morale of our Ancient Immortal Realm."

"But even so, our Ancient Immortal Realm was still destroyed."

"There were no victors in that great battle."

"But from the information you just mentioned, the Ancient Immortal Realm is still the loser because on the Dou Tian Divine Domain’s side, even more powerful beings have yet to show themselves."

"So the future battle..."

The Desolate Realm Sovereign didn’t finish her sentence, but her sorrow was palpable.

Back then, the Ancient Immortal Realm gave its all, yet even with the destruction of the Ancient Immortal Realm, it couldn’t stop the advance of the Dou Tian Divine Domain.

That sense of powerlessness made the Desolate Realm Sovereign feel despair.

Even an Immortal King of such a generation felt such despair.

If others knew the truth, it would be even worse.

"I will be there for the future battle."

Ye Xuan followed the Desolate Realm Sovereign’s words and said calmly: "Although I didn’t participate in the Immortal Ancient End battle, in the future battle, I intend to make the people of the Dou Tian Divine Domain see what true invincibility is."

The Desolate Realm Sovereign was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

She looked at Ye Xuan with a peculiar gaze, not knowing what to say for a while.

You could say this guy is arrogant, yet he might actually be invincible.

You could say this guy is reckless, yet he seems truly undying and immortal.

Hard to say.

The Desolate Realm Sovereign opened her mouth but ultimately didn’t know what to say.

Seeing the Desolate Realm Sovereign at a loss for words, Ye Xuan didn’t mind at all and said calmly: "I’m going to check on the Raksha Divine King."
