"Hongchen, don't you think it's time you came out and explained a few things to me?"
"Why do I feel like what you told me is very different from the True Realm?"
After returning to his quarters, Chen Changan summoned Hongchen.
Once Hongchen had transformed into human form, she looked at Chen Changan in confusion and asked, "What am I supposed to explain?"
"You clearly can use your power in the Sacred Domain."
"So, is your power system the same as the True Realm's?" Chen Changan asked with a frown.
"Sword Master Lord, have you... ever heard of energy conversion?"
"Converting a higher form into a lower one is easy. But a lower form can't be converted into a higher one."
"Do you remember what I told you? I can destroy the Sacred Domain with ease because the energy I possess is already of a higher level."
"I never lied to you." Hongchen spoke helplessly.
"Then answer me this: who is the Lord of the True Realm?"
"I'm sorry. It's forbidden. I can't say."
"I..."
Chen Changan tried to keep questioning her, but Hongchen immediately turned back into a sword. No matter how he pressed her, she didn't utter another word.
"I refuse to believe the True Realm is so vast that no one dares mention the Lord of the True Realm."
"So sneaky. He won't even let people say his name."
"Could it be that... he's done too many bad things?"
Hearing Chen Changan, Mu Yunyao could only shake her head helplessly. "Is that any way to talk about your own father?"
"Does he act like a father?"
Chen Changan knew that even before he was born, his father had already arranged the path he would walk and the trials he would face.
Had he become his father's tool
