Chapter 2147: Chapter 1: Lord of Cold Food, Past Mysteries Unveiled

"Back then, the East Extending Ancient Clan’s sacrifice destroyed the Yuanhai Ancient Country and awakened an Ancient God (a collective term for Innate Divines)."

"At that time, the East Extending Ancient Clan took advantage of the internal conflicts of the Reincarnation Temple’s Three Sects and stole a Yanshen Stele."

"The Heaven Leisure Eighth Generation Country Lord before the Desolate Domain Era, who later stepped down from his position and became a stele watcher cultivating in the temple, was Qing Yu Zi. He also quietly moved one amidst the internal turmoil."

Upon hearing Guluo River say this, Zhao Xing couldn’t help but be enlightened. No wonder he saw Qing Yu Zi at the Heaven Leisure Ancient Country Palace within the Transmission Building; no wonder Wei Tianchen said Qing Yu Zi was just a mere lamp holder watching steles.

"The trouble stirred up by the East Extending Ancient Clan was essentially using the power of the Divine Stele to open the temporal seal of past and present, reviving an Ancient God to the present."

"Interestingly," Guluo River smiled and said, "that East Extension Ancient God wasn’t willing to come to the Desolate Domain Era, but due to his natural operation of the space-time law, he should have lived this long, existing in the Desolate Domain Era... and with the sacrifices fragmented, he was forcibly summoned to the present day."

"Your Time Page exerted overwhelming power at that time, also due to the blessing of the cosmic space-time laws."

"Ah?" Zhao Xing couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned.

Forcibly summoned to the present day?

Zhao Xing’s expression turned slightly odd.

A group of juniors diligently collected materials, gathered the Divine Artifacts, and finally reversed the Space-Time River to pull that East Extension Ancient God back to the modern era.

Yet, he didn’t want to come back at all.

Thinking about it carefully, could the roar of that Ancient God have been saying that he didn’t want to return? You damned fools, don’t resurrect me?

It was indeed quite ridiculous!

"Afterwards, the Great Emperor, the Moon God Palace Master of the Primordial Heavenly Palace, a Hall Master of the Reincarnation Temple, and a God Realm individual from the Ancient Hill were present."

"It didn’t take much effort to send that Ancient God away," said Guluo River, "because that East Extension Ancient God also didn’t want to live in the Desolate Domain Era."

"But after that, the upper echelons of the Human Clan discovered that the Sacrificial Path, paired with a Divine Artifact, posed great risks; it could break the established space-time barriers and open a breach."

"Therefore, the Palace Master of the Primordial Heavenly Palace at that time briefly gathered the Mystic Spirit History Books of various households and repeatedly weakened the Secret Technique of the Sacrificial Path."

"Also, memories about the Yuanhai Ancient Country and related memories about the Sacrificial Path were erased from low-level cultivators."

"To prevent such events from reoccurring, many of the divine names of those who received sacrifices were hidden together."

"Among them were my father and Lan Chuan’s father, one known as the Heavenly God ’Gu Xiao’ and the other known as the Earth God ’Yao Jun’."

"Although they did not practice the Sacrificial Path, their sacrifices to heaven and earth naturally bestowed similar power upon them, so the honorary titles of both were hidden for a time."

"So that’s how it is." Zhao Xing finally understood the whole story of the big pit at the Yuanhai Ancient Country and why he didn’t remember the Heavenly God Gu Xiao and Earth God ’Yao Jun’.

While speaking, Guluo River took Zhao Xing out of the Dao Ancient Layer and back to the embassy of Heaven Leisure Ancient Country.

After coming out, they quickly traveled through the material world of the Dao Display Layer, soon covering most of the Heaven Leisure Ancient Country.

During this, both Guluo River and Zhao Xing saw a statue of Qing Yu Zi before he became a god within the Heaven Leisure Ancient Country.

Guluo River slowed down, pointing below and said, "Qing Yu Zi’s quiet divinity actually slightly violated the agreement between the superpowers. Do you know why this is?"

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and said, "Because of the difference between a Free God and a True God of No Tribulation?"

"That’s part of the reason," Guluo River nodded, "Free Gods and True Gods of No Tribulation, due to the way they become gods, their historical and environmental backgrounds, are almost inherently opposed."

"Cultivating Origin to Become a Free God essentially means plundering the universe’s origin to make it one’s own."

"Maintaining heaven and earth, repairing heaven and earth, Heaven and Earth Dao, at its core, aligns with the operation of the universe’s laws, borrowing the power of the laws’ origin, without affecting the universe’s origin."

"You already know the historical and environmental contexts."

"Since Free Gods often undergo Divine Tribulation, and the worse the environment, the more difficult it becomes to plunder the origin, making cultivation even harder, ultimately inevitably leading to the path of ’fleeing to the past’."

"Therefore, becoming a Free God in this era is very demanding; key resources must be strictly controlled by the superpowers of the Human Clan."

Hearing this, Zhao Xing was full of emotion, truly feeling that Qing Yu Zi was incredibly daring.

Not only did he borrow the path to become a god, but he also became a god by skirting the rules.

The East Extending Ancient Clan disrupted the rules and harmed the space-time everyone currently inhabits, but this wasn’t Old Qing’s doing. It could be said he was trying to stop the East Extending Ancient Clan, so he couldn’t be blamed entirely as the mastermind.

However, he indeed became a god through this method, and it was inevitable that others might follow his example in the future.

So how was Qing Yu Zi ultimately dealt with?

"The Reincarnation Temple was at fault in this matter."

"Originally, all the material and Dao Origins expended by the East Extending Ancient Clan were to be returned to the universe, but Qing Yu Zi took a portion, and at that time, it was impossible to kill him."

"So the vast majority of reincarnated souls went to the Empire, a small portion to the Ancient Hill and Primordial Heavenly Palace, while concessions were made regarding quotas in the Reincarnation Realm."

Guluo River said, "They needed to first address internal conflicts; such concessions were necessary."

"This included sending Qing Yu Zi, who had already become a god, to various times and spaces to complete a task one by one."

"That’s why he made this promise to have me teach you on his behalf; he’s truly no longer in this era."
