CHAPTER 844: CHAPTER 812: THE TRUTH BEHIND THE GODFALL

Heng Huo: "This is a long story."

Xia Feng: "Then make it short."

"This matter should start from...."

The Xuan Chang woman looked dazed for a moment, counted her fingers, and looked up, "Hmm, it starts from three thousand years ago!"

"....." Xia Feng glanced outside. Those escaping Holy Realm big shots had already sneaked back one after another. He was helpless and turned back, "....Heng Huo, we don’t have much time."

"Three thousand years ago, A Yi attempted to grasp the Void Law Truth but ultimately lost to the destiny of natural law, backfiring heavily, causing cracks in his Divine...."

Xia Feng didn’t understand what the Void Law Truth was, but he generally got it, Pillar Country Gu Yi tried to become stronger but failed and backfired.

Murmuring, the look on the Xuan Chang woman gradually turned cold, "Xia Hounian, that old trickster took this opportunity to join with the Business and Hua God to ambush A Yi! Ha~ Haha~ Later, later, I learned that they had planned for thousands of years, just waiting for A Yi to fail, and at that time I happened to be in the Evil Realm, giving these three thieves a complete shot! In just two days, Yi’s divine path was broken, his god shattered, and his Divine Soul destroyed! Using a God Slaying Technique that they had been brewing for a thousand years, completely erasing the ability to reincarnate...."

As she spoke, the Xuan Chang woman’s voice lowered, and her gaze became more lost, losing light, but the murderous intent and hostility on her rapidly rose again, extremely cold.

Xia Feng was startled and instinctively stepped back half a step.

Fortunately, within this realm of light pillars, the Xuan Chang woman’s sanity was still intact, she did not go mad, but kept murmuring, "Until I rushed back to Sumeru, it was all too late...."

Listening to the story, Xia Feng’s heart was quite shocked, Pillar Country Gu Yi actually died at the hands of his own kind?

Three thousand years ago, only the news of Gu Yi’s God Fall spread, the specific reason was unknown, at least the historical records of the matter were sparse.

But among the people, there was always a vague, unified guess that the second pillar country’s Pillar Country conspired with the Evil Clan to harm the founding Divine General, Gu Yi. This led to the entire Empire’s public being agitated, and all major regions plunged into various chaotic uprisings.

Not long after, an unprecedented Empire civil war swept through fifty-one major regions.

The second Pillar Country, Xia Hounian, also fell during this civil war, the second pillar country existing in name only.

Seeing her calm down, Xia Feng cautiously asked, "So, what was the purpose of these three existences?"

"Purpose? Ha~ naturally it’s...."

Heng Huo looked up, her cold gaze piercing through the light pillar, casting towards the world, "The Sumeru Throne!"

"Hmm?"

"Or rather, only Xia Hounian’s purpose is the Sumeru Throne, to turn the Sumeru Throne into Divine Relics, the Business’s purpose was just to ascend to the position of Pillar Country, and as for Hua Biao...."

Saying this, the Xuan Chang woman silently closed her eyes, "It is I who harmed A Yi, Hua God was also involved, probably for the Guihua Authority."

"...Perhaps I’m too low-level to understand." Xia Feng pondered with confusion, "The Sumeru Throne has the power to seize Divine, but Xia Hounian had already become a god, possessed his own Divine, what use is taking that item to him?"

"Who knows!" The Xuan Chang woman sneered, "That old thing was a trickster even before his Ascension, always mysterious, no one could guess what he was thinking, very treacherous."

Alright then.... Xia Feng frowned, pondering, feeling even stranger inside.

"So, the God Fall of Gu Yi, the Pillar Country, was indeed the spark for the Empire civil war."

"But.... according to my limited historical knowledge, the Empire civil war seemed to be first initiated by the Fourth Pillar against the Second Pillar, with subsequent forces joining the battlefield to jointly attack the Second Pillar. At that time, Business was still the Great Commander. Logically, Business and Xia Hounian were opponents...."

It was after that battle that Business became Pillar Country....

Thinking of this, Xia Feng paused in his speech and nodded, "Alright, I understand."

Heng Huo knew it was the three thieves who ambushed Pillar Country Gu Yi, but the people of the world did not know.

The public only knew it was Xia Hounian’s doing, as for Business and Hua God, they completely remained hidden.... even until Xia Hounian’s God Fall, they never exposed the two.

Could it be that Business and Xia Hounian were putting on a show for the people of the world? Xia Feng’s dark eyes slightly narrowed, his eyelids twitching wildly, using the demise of the Second Pillar as a price, with tens of billions of military and civilian casualties across the entire Empire.... is this play too big?

Hmm, more likely perhaps is.... the three thieves had a falling out over the distribution of the Sumeru Throne, and Business, in the end, not only wanted to become Pillar Country but also wanted the Sumeru Throne, so he conveniently harmed Xia Hounian again.

If that’s the case, then this new Pillar Country is truly impressive.

While Xia Feng pondered, his thoughts turning to the sky, "So, three thousand years ago, although Gu Yi fell, the Sumeru Throne still did not fall into any of the three’s hands, but instead appeared in the present form of selecting an heir, stirring up all sorts of chaos, so why is that?"

Heng Huo shook her head: "Hua God helped Xia Hounian deal with A Yi, while Xia Hounian helped Hua God deal with me. I didn’t last long before I too followed and fell, naturally I don’t know what happened after that."

"But the selection of an heir is indeed a rule of the Sumeru Throne."

"This was originally constructed by Yi to ensure that if he fell in the future battle of gods with the Imaginary Court, successors could quickly create a True God or even a Heavenly God for the Empire using the Throne, hence building a mechanism similar to a succession selection."

"What a pity, this fool never thought he’d die not in the forthcoming battle of gods, but at the hands of his own, ha ha~"

The Xuan Chang woman’s tone had endless helplessness and bewilderment, finally sighing, falling into silence.

"....."

Xia Feng also fell silent, but a moment later, he was awakened by the external sound of roaring fighting, it was Huang Zhaoyue fighting someone.

Xia Feng slapped his forehead, "Wait! So, what does this have to do with me needing to have a daughter with Yue Hongli?"

Xuan Chang woman: "Huh? Hmm, nothing."

"??!!! Nothing, you..., you’ve been talking for so long?!!"

"Hey hey, being alone for too long, I like to talk a bit more, so what, Little Li, this master of yours isn’t good, no patience at all. Unlike this lady.... unlike I, this king, who is very patient, oh right, speaking of patience...."

"!!" Xia Feng really felt like hitting someone, really, although.... even if he made a move, he couldn’t beat this talkative woman.

"Boom——"

At the same time, on the outside.

"Her Imperial Highness, what’s this? Do you wish to stop us all by your own strength?"

The mocking sound rang out, four male and female figures spread positions, floating above the thunderclouds.

A black and white female shadow stood with hands behind her back in front of the light pillar.

Between the two sides was a dark line of fire crossing the heavens and earth. Huang Zhaoyue’s gaze was silent and dark, her face indifferent and without waves, her majestic voice resonated in the world:

"I have said, those who cross this line, die."
