"Heavenly Emperor is the culprit?"
Mu Qing was utterly astonished upon hearing this.
His expression turned rather strange, and he could not help saying, "Although Heavenly Emperor is powerful, at most he has only reached the tenth heaven of second-stage Supreme. He is still far from the Sovereign realm, isn't he?"
Ancient God's words were difficult even for Mu Qing to believe.
One had to know that the culprit who destroyed the Ancient Divine Beast Clan back then was a mysterious Sovereign from outside who attacked the clan during the earliest days of the Heaven-Bearing Universe, leading to that tragedy.
The culprit was a Sovereign—and one who had existed since the birth of the Heaven-Bearing Universe!
Based on the realms Mu Qing currently understood, that mysterious culprit had likely already reached the Great Sovereign realm.
Ancient God claiming that Heavenly Emperor was that mysterious culprit was rather exaggerated.
During the period when the Heaven-Bearing Universe had first been born, Heavenly Emperor had likely not even been born within the Chaos Universe yet. He had not even attained Sovereign-level strength, so how could he have been the culprit behind the extermination of the Ancient Divine Beast Clan?
Faced with Mu Qing's denial, Ancient God explained, "I know this is unbelievable, but Heavenly Emperor's aura is completely identical to the culprit's."
After a pause, Ancient God continued, "I believe Heavenly Emperor has entered the River of Time. That fellow also carries the aura of the River of Time. Though it is extremely concealed, one can still sense a trace of it!
"The World Serpents of our Ancient Divine Beast Clan can travel freely through the multiverse. They can even enter the legendary River of Time, so they are fairly familiar with that place. Heavenly Emperor has definitely entered the River of Time.
