Chapter 489: True or False (First Update)

"Your Highness, please forgive my offense."

As Yuwen Tianye walked down from the stage, Zang Zhenyu immediately rushed over, disregarding everything else, grabbed his shoulders, and then quickly probed his divine sense into his body to conduct a thorough examination.

He did not probe the Consciousness Sea, because His Majesty the Divine Emperor had already personally set up a Restriction, and he did not believe a cultivator in the Void Refining Realm could break through the Divine Emperor's Seal.

Outside the Consciousness Sea, General Zang discovered nothing; there were no residual marks, a result that made him heave a long sigh of relief.

Phew... that's a relief.

Yuwen Tianye still wore a dazed expression; only after Zang Zhenyu finished his check did he come back to his senses, nod, and without a word, push away the hand pressed onto his shoulder, continuing to walk with his head lowered like a walking corpse.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Seeing him still in this state, Zang Zhenyu felt some worry and asked while following behind him, "Did something happen within the Illusion Technique?"

"……Mm."

Yuwen Tianye nodded and gave a soft "mm," but he avoided talking about what specifically happened, remaining immersed in his own world.

Zang Zhenyu:???

This won't do, it can't go on like this!

Zang Zhenyu could no longer care about anything else; he grabbed Yuwen Tianye and transmitted a jolting divine sense into his Consciousness Sea.

Wake up!!!

Yuwen Tianye:!!!

Immersed in his world, Yuwen Tianye shuddered all over, finally coming back to his senses at this moment, and glared at Zang Zhenyu with some annoyance.

"What are you trying to do?" His tone held an irrepressible irritation, as if someone in a deep sleep had been abruptly woken up.

"Your Highness, you have finally woken up." Zang Zhenyu was not afraid and let out a long sigh of relief, "I thought you hadn't been freed from the Illusion Technique... what exactly did you see in the illusion?"

"What did I see..." Speaking of this question, Yuwen Tianye was no longer annoyed; he furrowed his brows, took a deep breath, and spoke in a low voice, "I saw many things, many things beyond imagination."

"I saw gods walking on the Earthly Realm as if walking in their own Divine Kingdom; I saw ten thousand gods bowing like mortals to the one supreme deity; I saw... a true Kingdom of Heaven on Earth!"

"I saw humans and demons coexisting, with all living beings having their own destiny; I saw Immortals being whipped by lightning, forced to fall from Heaven; I saw the Demon God carrying the earth, struggling to crawl..."

"I saw too much, too much... all of it was true divine miracles that I could never have imagined."

After speaking of what he witnessed in the illusion, Yuwen Tianye's expression gradually changed from confusion to awe and worship, and there was even a hint of fanaticism in his eyes that he himself had not noticed.

"But those things he let you see were just an illusion!"

Zang Zhenyu sensed that his emotions were wrong and hurriedly reminded him, "Your Highness must never be bewitched by the False God and Evil Dao of the Divine Path Sect; only your father, His Majesty the Divine Emperor, is the true deity!"

From a long time ago, even before Sikong Yu won the top spot in the Southern Border, the Southern Border Divine Dynasty had already known of the Divine Path Sect and had long since identified it as an evil path contrary to their own orthodoxy!

The Southern Border Yuwen Family commands all living beings to worship them as gods, while those fellows in the Divine Path Sect are just a group of shameful thieves stealing the Divine Path!

"Yes! I understand, of course I understand that those were just illusions, images he wanted me to see..." Yuwen Tianye also understood what Zang Zhenyu was worried about, shaking his head and waving his hand, "But even so, I cannot imagine myself creating such a scene."

"Do you understand? Those images gave me a feeling that it is truly possible to happen! Or even... that it has already happened." His voice grew lower as he spoke, and by the last few sentences, even Yuwen Tianye himself could barely hear it.

Even he himself felt that this sudden thought was truly too absurd and simply unrealistic.

Not to mention anything else, just the images of those Human Immortals and the Demon God could never appear.

Because, Human Immortals and Demon Gods have long ceased to exist in this world.

……

"I say, why didn't you give me a heads-up when you came to cause trouble?"

Ren Yidao on the stage smiled and nodded at the crowd while multitasking, complaining to a certain Demon God lying leisurely in his Consciousness Sea, "There are so many people watching outside; if you accidentally expose yourself, I'll be fine, at worst I'll just hand you over and it'll be over, but it won't be easy for you."

【"Pfft! Who gives a heads-up when they come to cause trouble? Would you?"】 Ren Huan yawned and retorted lazily.

"Oh, that's true." Thinking from another perspective, Ren Yidao realized he truly wouldn't take the initiative to speak up.

It's the same type of double.

【"Besides, if I could be discovered by them, then I wouldn't need to find a way to be reborn. Hmph! I might as well just be completely dead."】 Ren Huan rolled his eyes and snorted unhappily, not wanting to pay attention to this guy.

I am a Demon God!

Do you understand what a Demon God is?

Although I don't remember who I am, I should be very powerful; after all, Demon Gods are all very powerful.

【"Besides, wasn't it you who needed to intimidate him? I was just kindly providing you with some material. You brat, not only are you not thanking me, but you're also questioning me?"】

"I had already intimidated him well enough; after the image of ten thousand gods bowing was shown, there were one hundred thousand gods bowing, and then a million... wait, material?" Ren Yidao, who was exchanging pleasantries with the crowd, froze, couldn't help but blink, and almost lost his composure.

"Are you saying that the images you showed weren't illusions, but were all real?"

【"Perhaps, I'm not sure either, it's just that during this time, I sometimes recall some fragmented images."】 Ren Huan wasn't sure either, but since they could be seen in fragmented memories, they should be real, right?

"In other words, those are the truths behind the fall of the Demon God and the Human Immortals?"

【"I don't know, don't ask me, I'm not sure."】

Ren Huan quickly denied it three times, and then his mood also became low, 【"Perhaps true or perhaps false, anyway it has all passed, what is there to investigate."】

"……It still needs to be figured out; only by understanding what happened back then can there be a solution."

"However, since you can't recall more right now, let's leave it at that. When new images appear, you tell me again, how about that?"

【"……Fine."】

Ren Huan did not refuse.

What he said just now was merely words of anger; he was the one who wanted to figure out what happened back then more than anyone else.

Why did the Demon God and Human Immortals disappear from the world? And who exactly am I?

He had a feeling in his heart: as long as he didn't figure out these secrets one day, he would never be able to truly and perfectly resurrect.

【"I'm going to sleep first, if there's nothing, don't disturb me."】

"Yes, yes, yes, it's always me disturbing you, you old fellow, go to sleep."

【"Hmph."】

Ren Yidao curled his lips, feeling that this old thing's personality was becoming more and more eccentric.

Clearly, before, every word was in a cold and chilling tone, so why is it becoming more and more gentle now?

How strange.

Why does it feel like ever since this old guy discovered he might be female, he has started developing in the direction of a tsundere?

Question:

Can this also be considered a type of female-corruption?

After thinking about it casually in his mind for a while, Ren Yidao tossed this topic to the back of his head.

Now is not the time to think about this; he still has things to be busy with.

As the ring master, he now has the right to choose the next challenger.

According to previous developments, the vast majority of people thought that Ren Yidao would step down voluntarily like before, giving up the position of ring master to continue resting for four hours.

But unexpectedly, this time, after Ren Yidao stood dazed on the stage for a while, he suddenly became spirited.

The corners of his mouth crooked, he looked toward the stage and pointed his hand in a cavalier manner.

"You, get up here!"

"That's right, don't look at anyone else, it's you!"

"That old guy with the cold expression, get up here!"

"Let's have a one-on-one!"

On the stage, Ren Yidao was arrogant and domineering, pointing fingers at the poker-faced man in the crowd, looking incredibly smug and very punchable...

Below the stage, the person being pointed at had a gloomy expression, black lines all over his head, and a belly full of suppressed rage.

"..."

This brat!

To actually tease his Senior Brother in front of so many people!

Jian Xinxin looked at his Junior Brother, who was full of himself on the stage, and gritted his back teeth tightly.

He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would start cursing.

"This idiot, I should have taught him a good lesson back when he was still small!"

"So disrespectful to his Senior Brother!"

"What kind of decorum is this!"

Jian Xinxin was extremely annoyed and glared fiercely at Ren Yidao, while Mei beside him laughed very happily.

Regarding this Junior Brother, her feelings were somewhat complicated at the beginning.

This Junior Brother, Ren Yidao, could be considered her savior and emotional mentor to a certain extent.

Although his strength was not weak and his background was complex, none of that mattered to Mei.

Ever since she lived again and transformed into a demon, she had completely let go of many things she once cared about.

In her view, Ren Yidao was an interesting and reliable younger brother, and there was nothing to be dissatisfied with.

In this emotion of Mei's, there was not only a sister's love for a younger brother, but it even... contained some maternal love triggered by instinct.

Like a younger brother and also like a son.

And at this moment, the bickering between Jian Xinxin and Ren Yidao looked to her like her own family members playing around, which looked very heartwarming.

"Since he has requested it, you should go up and play along with him," Mei quietly tugged at Jian Xinxin, "Remember to show mercy; if you break him, I will settle the score with you."

Jian Xinxin turned his head and looked at his wife with an expression of disbelief.

Huh?

???

I show mercy?

Wife, have you made a mistake?

If I show him mercy, will this brat show me mercy?

And what did you just say... if I break him, you will settle the score with me?

Mei Yongdi!

Whose side are you on, anyway!?

I am your husband!

He isn't even your real younger brother!
