Heaven Slaying Blade

At this moment, the old man with the white beard sighed, "You should know by now that you are not a human from the world of ancient gods, right?"

Xu Shiyun nodded, "Yes, Ancient Grandpa, but why? Who am I? Why was I brought here?"

The old man with the white beard was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "I only know that your origins are significant. But who you truly are is the greatest taboo. We were inscribed here to protect you. But child, there is something I must tell you."

Xu Shiyun looked up at the old man with the white beard, "Ancient Grandpa, please tell me."

"You are not entirely a creature of the Four Great Heavens," the old man with the white beard hesitantly said, faltering, "You have half human blood in you."

"Ah?" Xu Shiyun looked surprised, but deep in her water-cut autumn eyes, there was no displeasure, instead, a slight hint of joy appeared, "I have human blood in me?"

"Yes, so your identity is a huge taboo! That's why you appeared here. But you were born with the ability to communicate with inscriptions, which shows your extraordinariness. Because only the most top-level beings in the Four Great Heavens have such an ability. Even the Master of the Palace... he didn't have this ability when he was just born."

"But, of what use is that?" Xu Shiyun sighed somewhat forlornly, "I don't even know who I am, and my father will never give me the chance to find out."

The old man with the white beard thought for a moment and said, "Do you truly want to know all this?"

Xu Shiyun nodded, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes, "Is there a creature in this world who doesn't want to know their origins and background?"

The old man with the white beard smiled and shook his head, "No."

"So, of course, I want to know," Xu Shiyun said.

The old man with the white beard said, "Then, you should find someone and help him. But don't ask anything, and don't demand anything. And... one day, even if your father becomes his enemy, you must stand by his side. Can you do that?"

"Ah? Why do I have to do that? How could I possibly stand against my own father?" Xu Shiyun was immediately puzzled. Although she was very close to the Ancient Grandpa, treating him like her own grandfather, asking her to oppose her own father was something she couldn't do. Plus, her mind was filled with questions, not understanding why Ancient Grandpa would give her such advice.

The old man with the white beard looked at Xu Shiyun and sighed, "What if he is not only not your father but also your enemy?"

"Impossible!" Xu Shiyun was a bit angry, lightly frowning, "Ancient Grandpa, you can't say that about him!"

"Alright, I know you won't believe it, but I can show you something."

The old man with the white beard spoke, gesturing into the void, and suddenly, a scene appeared there.

In the scene stood a person in silver battle armor, and another in golden battle armor. Both were enveloped in light, making their faces entirely unseeable.

But Xu Shiyun immediately recognized that the person in silver battle armor was her father, the Master of the Heavenly Palace. And the one in golden battle armor, she also knew, was the Master of Eternity!

In the scene, the two were conversing.

"You just brought her here like that?" the Master of Eternity asked.

"What else could I do? I couldn't just dispose of her, could I?" the Master of the Heavenly Palace said, "Besides, she's just a child who understands nothing."

"Amusing, a dignified Realm Master, uttering such words. Do you also think humans are not so bad? A filthy thing with human blood, even if he is the lord of heaven's..." At this point, the Master of Eternity suddenly fell silent and gazed quietly in the direction of Xu Shiyun.

Xu Shiyun was startled, suddenly tense.

The old man with the white beard said, "Don't worry, the Master of Eternity was just mindful of the inscriptions on the wall back then."

Xu Shiyun, her face slightly pale, nodded and continued watching the scene.

In the scene, the Master of the Heavenly Palace sighed wistfully and suddenly said, "Actually, we both know humans aren't that detestable."

"Of course, we both naturally understand the reasons for this. But so what? The overall big environment of the Four Great Heavens, those aristocrats loathe humans, thinking they're too greedy... Heh, actually it's diligence. To gain more, you must be diligent, yet they regard it as greed. The seven emotions and six desires of humans are the most complete; they fear this power, so they loathe it," the Master of Eternity said calmly, "But this matter, even we, even Bu Xuye and the Master of the Eternal Hall, can't change."

The Master of the Heavenly Palace said, "What if we could truly carve out a new heaven?"

The Eternal Lord chuckled nonchalantly, "Impossible, this is something even Pangu couldn't achieve, do you think we can?"

"Indeed... Pangu, the pinnacle existence among humans! A true peerless hero. Even he couldn't do it. But I truly wish to try," the Master of the Heavenly Palace said, "We, despite being confidants of the Lords of Heaven, are now here, isn't it akin to exile?"

"Perhaps the Lords of Heaven... have thoughts too, and wish to witness the birth of a new Great Heavenly Realm?" the Eternal Lord said leisurely. As he spoke, he looked at the Master of the Heavenly Palace, "But that child, you'd better deal with her quickly. She is a true taboo, and strictly speaking, you also count as her enemy, since you killed her mother with your own hands. Aren't you afraid that one day, when she grows up, and learns the truth... she will seek revenge on you?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shiyun's body suddenly trembled slightly, and disbelief shined in her eyes. She couldn't believe this was true.

"How could this be?" Xu Shiyun murmured, then her eyes reddened.

In the image.

The Master of the Heavenly Palace also showed a face of hesitation, and then said bitterly, "The Lord of Heaven, at that time, instructed me to deal with that woman, and I wavered in my heart, but I... I dared not defy the decree! Then, the Lord of Heaven said that Shiyun was his flesh and blood, and he couldn't bear... to destroy his offspring in the Four Great Heavens, instructing me to bring her to Pangu's world, to let her live or perish on her own. But I've really grown fond of this child. She has an exceptional spirit..."

His words were interrupted by the Eternal Lord, who said coldly, "Don't forget, she has half of the Lord of Heaven's bloodline, her soul, all inherited from the Lord of Heaven. Don't you know what kind of abilities the Lord of Heaven possesses?"

At the end of his words, the Eternal Lord even became somewhat stern. He looked at the Master of the Heavenly Palace, "Our dwelling is filled with inscriptions from the Four Great Heavens, each with its own thoughts, independent personalities, and emotions! Can you guarantee this little girl won't truly awaken? Can you guarantee these inscriptions won't betray you?"

The Master of the Heavenly Palace shook his head, looked towards the direction of Xu Shiyun, no, the direction of the inscriptions, and said, "I dare not, although these inscriptions were personally etched by us, they are indeed beyond our control in some aspects."

"Isn't that it?" the Eternal Lord sneered, "Put away your meaningless mercy, we are all beings of the Four Great Heavens, no matter how long we've been in the human world, we're still not humans, we are Heavenly People! Beings of the highest order who need no flesh, blood, or bones!"

"This matter, let me reconsider, she has always been under my watch, she has not awakened to any of the Heavenly People's powers..." the Master of the Heavenly Palace said, lifting his head to seriously face the Eternal Lord, "Though the Lord of the Grand Fortune Carefree Heaven cannot interfere with you, he... is ultimately a Lord of Heaven, and he never said he wanted to see his offspring perish in the Four Great Heavens. He did not instruct me to kill her."

Upon hearing this, the Eternal Lord couldn't help but fall silent. He knew the other party wasn't threatening him, but was stating a fact.

Xu Shiyun... ultimately is the flesh and blood of the Lord of the Grand Fortune Carefree Heaven!

Such an identity, if not for her mother being human, if not for half of her blood being human, within the entire Four Great Heavens, she could be considered the most noble princess!

The most esteemed existence among all Heavenly People!

Even those Realm Masters, upon meeting her, must kneel on one knee!

Though the Realm Masters are noble, powerful beyond compare, the entire Four Great Heavens encompasses thousands of realms!

And how many such princesses or princes are there in total?

Across all Four Great Heavens, such individuals are likely fewer than a hundred!

If Xu Shiyun were truly killed, and one day, the Lord of the Grand Fortune Carefree Heaven recalls he has a daughter wandering outside, asks, they'll be dumbfounded indeed.

"If she can't be killed, then blind her eyes," the Eternal Lord said, and then he vanished. He didn't wait for the Master of the Heavenly Palace's response.

The Master of the Heavenly Palace looked at the spot where he disappeared and sighed, "Of course, we must blind her eyes..."

And the image came to an end here.

Xu Shiyun collapsed weakly onto the lush, luxurious carpet, tears streaming down her exquisitely beautiful face.

She never expected that her identity would turn out to be like this.

"This was not something you were meant to know. In fact, the scenes you've seen are from ten thousand ages ago," the old man with the white beard said.

"Ten thousand ages ago? I... am not even twenty yet?" Xu Shiyun asked, her eyes blurred by tears, looking at the old man with the white beard.

The old man with the white beard said, "He sealed you, and only in recent years did he unlock your seal. At the same time, he used many methods on you, which is why you can't cultivate. But he never expected that you perfectly inherited your biological father's abilities, and from a young age, you had already awakened the ability to communicate with inscriptions. He never imagined that at such a young age, you would hide this secret in your heart without exposing any flaw."

"I... what should I do?" Xu Shiyun, at that moment, looked like an injured kitten, curled up there, pitifully.
