Chapter 264: The Grudge of Past and Present Lives

"Could there be some deep-seated grudge between the two of them?"

After hearing this, Su Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Connecting this to what Lv Luo had said when she once found him, as well as that fallen old tree demon, could it be that he was the reincarnation of the Divine Dragon Great Emperor? Just thinking about it felt dramatic, yet he also felt that everything was so logical and natural.

"Moreover, the disappearance of the Divine Dragon Great Emperor is likely related to the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor. As far as I know, our master began laying plans hundreds of thousands of years ago and has never given up since. I suspect the matter of the Divine Dragon Great Emperor was likely orchestrated by the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor."

Yi Zhuyue also voiced her own conjecture.

Although the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor was their master, there were many things they did not know; however, through the orders of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor, they could still piece together fragments of the truth.

"This Heavenly Dao Great Emperor is truly detestable; he simply cannot bear to see others do well. I must go and kill him!"

The moment Su Chen thought about how he was originally the Divine Dragon Great Emperor, only to be schemed against and forced to start everything over, and then encountering so many risks here, he became furious.

He hadn't known anything before, and he didn't even know how much he had been schemed against.

Looking at it this way, the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor was no good either.

Su Chen had never been a good person; he believed in an eye for an eye—if others didn't offend him, he wouldn't offend them, but if others offended him, he would pay them back tenfold! Seeing him so impulsive, the expression on Yi Zhuyue's face shifted several times before she finally spoke slowly.

"You must absolutely not be impulsive. Although the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor is not a good person, his strength is extremely formidable. He is among the top ten existences in the Immortal World. In this Tianxuan Continent, no one can defeat him. Even if you reach the Great Emperor Realm and go to the Immortal World, you might not even be able to see his face."

What Yi Zhuyue said was realistic, but it was also the truth.

Although the Great Emperor Realm was an unreachable existence in the Tianxuan Continent, in the Immortal World, even the weakest were at the Great Emperor Realm, not to mention that the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor was in the top ten.

If Su Chen were too impulsive, it would be like a moth flying into a flame; not only would he fail to take revenge, but he might also be killed in an instant by the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor.

Although Yi Zhuyue did not know why the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor targeting the Divine Dragon Great Emperor made Su Chen so angry, since she had already followed Su Chen, she absolutely could not let him do such an impulsive thing.

"Although the Tianxuan Continent is a vast territory in your eyes, for the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor, destroying it is just a matter of moving his hand. It is only because of the constraints of the Immortal World's rules that he cannot do it."

To strengthen the credibility of her words, Yi Zhuyue immediately explained further.

This metaphor was quite vivid, and it fully made Su Chen realize how powerful the enemy in front of him was.

If he wanted to take revenge, the most urgent task now was to improve his own strength.

Otherwise, he would either choose to be a coward for the rest of his life, or be killed in an instant by the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor.

Regardless of the outcome, this was not what Su Chen wanted to see.

And since he knew that his current miserable life was the work of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor, he would absolutely not swallow this insult.

"Then, is the only way for me to reach the Immortal World to advance to a powerhouse of the Great Emperor Realm?"

Su Chen said with a frown.

This sounded simple, but for thousands of years, no Great Emperor Realm powerhouse had appeared, which meant that for these thousands of years, almost no one had ascended.

Even those at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, who were only one step away from the Great Emperor Realm, were unable to comprehend the true meaning and eventually died after exhausting their lifespans.

"Theoretically, that is the case, but..."

Yi Zhuyue nodded slowly, paused, and then continued, "Have you not noticed that in this small world, almost no Great Emperor Realm powerhouses appear?"

"Could it be that the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor has a hand in this too?" Su Chen immediately understood her meaning and said.

"That's right. The Heavenly Dao Great Emperor used some unknown method to restrict the rules of this world, so no matter how much you improve your cultivation or how much you comprehend, you cannot advance to the Great Emperor Realm."

Yi Zhuyue nodded again.

In fact, Yi Zhuyue did not understand this approach.

After all, this small world of the Tianxuan Continent posed no threat to the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor; even if someone ascended, their realm would not be enough to catch his eye.

Yi Zhuyue also did not understand why he went to such great lengths to restrict this world.

"If he cares so much about this world, does he have some purpose?"

Su Chen also realized that with the status of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor, logically speaking, it was impossible for him to value this one small world so much among so many others.

Unless there was something here that he feared greatly.

Yi Zhuyue was also somewhat puzzled; although she was by the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor's side, she did not know many of the core secrets.

Thus, she continued: "I am not clear on this either. I only know that a long time ago, the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor seemed to have comprehended something. He discovered that the Tianxuan Continent was the key turning point, so he sent us down to intervene."

"You?"

Su Chen keenly caught this word.

"That's right. I am not the only one who came to the Tianxuan Continent. On the surface, the Tianxuan Continent remains very calm, but in reality, it has long been infiltrated by the forces of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor. There are four of us in total, corresponding to four locations, determined to firmly grasp all the information of the Tianxuan Continent in our hands."

Yi Zhuyue did not hide anything.

"The Western Wasteland, Central Province, and Nanman also have subordinates of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor stationed there. The information each of us holds is different, and our responsibilities are also different."

Yi Zhuyue said slowly, "The order given to me was to track down anyone with a Divine Dragon Martial Soul."

"Since he is so wary of the Tianxuan Continent, why doesn't he come himself? With his understanding of his enemies, he would probably discover it immediately."

Su Chen asked suspiciously.

Since the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor was so powerful, he shouldn't need to go to such great lengths.

"First is these rules, which prevent him from destroying the Tianxuan Continent. Second, someone is blocking him from entering the Tianxuan Continent, and with his cultivation, if he were to enter, the world might collapse under the weight of his power."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhuyue revealed the reason.

She did not know who that mysterious person was, only remembering that the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor had been extremely furious at the time.

"Since you know each other's locations, will what I am doing now alert the enemy?" Su Chen couldn't help but ask.

"Theoretically, that is indeed the case. Once the enemy is alerted, they might report it to the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhuyue nodded gently.
