Chapter 1215 - 418: Wanting It Both Ways, Introduction to Martial Arts (5k)_2

"Okay."

Wen Yan recounted the encounter with the strange Old Ghost and the message from Old Ghost, along with the subsequent events of some entity erasing memories, all in detail.

The General Director listened with furrowed brows, while the Old Celestial Master slightly lowered his gaze.

After Wen Yan finished speaking, the Old Celestial Master asked.

"Do you know why, hundreds of years ago, the Old Zhu’s Family caused a lot of trouble?"

"I don’t know, I’ve only read a bit of history during my studies, but it’s obvious the history I read omitted a lot."

"Because back then, there might have been similar incidents, and they involved the Imperial Clan.

The Celestial Master Mansion has some vague mentions, but looking at the records, there’s hardly anything visible.

In earlier communications with ascended predecessors of the Celestial Master Mansion, some side evidence was obtained.

At that time, Old Zhu was still alive.

Want Old Zhu to endure? Is it possible?

Even without mentioning the Crown Prince’s death, there were many things Old Zhu couldn’t tolerate.

Even if Old Zhu was no longer, later Fourth Brother Zhu wasn’t a person of good temper.

The only Emperor in history enshrined as Wolf God, his killing intent was not much better than Old Zhu’s.

Old Zhu wouldn’t have killed from north to south, chasing all the way to Nanyang.

But what they chased back then, that’s truly unknown.

Some even had their names completely obliterated in history, never to rise again."

"Hiss..." Wen Yan took a deep breath, damn, focused on Old Zhu, forgot about Fourth Brother Zhu, did he go to Nanyang just for this? Surely not?"

"Wait, do you mean that the current events related to Nanyang were actually expected?"

The General Director chimed in from the side.

"Export and re-import, so many things can proceed smoothly, and even keep the Scorching Sun Department in the dark for a while.

The connection between Nanyang and the Divine Land has existed since ancient times, so involvement is quite normal.

Back then, some entity was so afraid of being killed, or directly struck to the point of forced slumber or forced destruction while stepping into The Last Dharma.

Even though times have changed now, for those who were silent then and are just now awakening.

Their shadows in heart don’t disperse so easily.

This fits well with the Scorching Sun Department’s big data records.

Some old antiques upon reviving are either very arrogant or extremely low-key.

If they were silent during chaotic times, the likelihood of arrogance upon revival is higher.

But those who were silent during Old Zhu’s era or even earlier in Old Liu’s Family’s time upon revival are more low-key one by one.

This actually is the personality and foundation shaped by the great era of their time.

Many recruited in archaeology teams are Old Ghosts who once lived in eras dominated by strong emperors; they are mostly calm and very low-key.

Unlike the Ghosts from chaotic eras, some weren’t even considered human while alive, becoming worse after death.

This time, the matter is directly related to Nanyang.

Might even be one of the behind-the-scenes pushers.

Just this time there was a bit of an accident, a Temple Keeper who should have drowned and died, but in the current version, turns into a very special Ghost.

Not only can it easily walk on land but also ignores many means targeting Ghosts.

The main purpose of this Ghost is just to overturn the table.

The behind-the-scenes entity, driven to haste, could only show some flaws.

Which just indicates comparing to the final exposure of information by the Temple Keeper, showing flaws was totally acceptable either by them or him.

As for whether someone succeeded in the past... "

The General Director looked at the Old Celestial Master.

The Old Celestial Master thought for a moment and said.

"Ever since the Celestial Court appeared, a situation emerged.

Some people willing to ascend after their lifespan ends, transforming into the foundation within the Celestial Court.

But there are also people unwilling.

Originally unwillingness wasn’t much of a deal, as it was not forcible.

However, according to the Divine Land’s consistent idea, famed eternally, ascension is an ultimate pursuit.

But as time passes, some started having different ideas.

That is now often referred to as wanting both.

Wanting the benefits of ascension, becoming a Deity, yet wanting to retain self-awareness, without sacrificing.

Thus later, a period of chaotic contest resulted in some outcomes.

You should have guessed a bit."

The Old Celestial Master looked at Wen Yan.

Wen Yan pondered.

"Water God? Temple God? Mountain God and Earth?"

"Yes, more or less these, having Deity traits while retaining self-awareness.

Just back then, an iron law was established.

All these must still be decreed.

But those guys back then created things, although mostly swept away, a bit of carelessness led to traces handed down.

Those traces were passed to Different Races, just like the still mentioned enshrinement, being one of these traces.

Iron law established, the remaining matters must be handled by people.

Therefore, throughout ages the rule innate, all enshrination seekers are vile demons, everyone should execute them.

Today, the Scorching Sun Department doesn’t need to handle much, if any Demons have such aberrance, the Demon Kin will cleanse their own ranks.

There’s always a shortcut, there will inevitably be entities recklessly charging forward undeterred, until the very end.

Now this situation seems that there must be some damned thing aspiring to become a god, yet unwilling to abandon self-awareness.
