"He really isn't dead!"
Xiaoyaozi was both surprised and unsurprised. Everyone believed that Third Gentleman had already fallen. After all, under the bombardment of the complete power of the Starry Sky Heavenly Dao back then, it would have been difficult for anyone to survive.
Yet those who knew Third Gentleman well had always held onto a sliver of hope in their hearts.
He would not die so easily!
Now that he had heard Chu Yun's words, Xiaoyaozi could finally be certain. He was still alive.
And he still had arrangements within the Land of Exile, inside the Abyss of Great Sin.
"Master, Third Senior Brother..."
Seeing that Xiaoyaozi had already guessed it, Chu Yun simply told him everything directly, including the fact that his Third Senior Brother was the Lord of San Ming and held the secrets of the Twilight Ancient Ruins.
Other than his family, Xiaoyaozi was the person Chu Yun trusted most. Thus, he had no concerns about telling him these matters.
"If that is so, then that one's identity is likely far from simple."
"This game of chess... perhaps everything we have seen and felt so far is merely the tip of the iceberg."
"The true final objective may not have surfaced even now."
After learning all those details, Xiaoyaozi could not help feeling that the affairs of the Star Vast World were increasingly like a fog. The ultimate purpose had always been hidden behind that fog, never appearing even now.
Whether it was that one, Third Gentleman, or the Heavenly Progenitor... they likely all harbored secrets that no one knew even now.
Everything they had done in the Star Vast World was likely connected to their respective secrets.
Even now, Chu Yun and Xiaoyaozi were merely chess pieces on their chessboard.
Though cruel, that was reality.
