"Di Tian was not my avatar!"
The Heavenly Emperor shook his head with a smile. "Back then, I was too conspicuous and could easily have drawn Hongjun's attention, so it was inconvenient for me to guide you personally. Therefore, I had to find you a protector. Among all those people in the Chaos Holy Land, only Di Tian caught my eye."
Xiao Yun nodded, then asked curiously, "So Master Di Tian had always known about you?"
"He did not know of my existence!" The Heavenly Emperor shook his head. "I merely influenced two important decisions in his life by accident."
"Oh?" Xiao Yun grew even more curious.
The Heavenly Emperor said with a smile, "First, he had never intended to cultivate the Chaos Scripture. After all, no one had ever succeeded in cultivating this technique. Di Tian had been a genius back then, aiming to attain the Dao and become a Great Emperor. Naturally, he would not have chosen this technique. I secretly influenced him, causing him to choose the Chaos Scripture without realizing it."
"Uh..." Xiao Yun was dumbfounded. If Master Di Tian learned of this, who knew what he would think.
The Heavenly Emperor had clearly done this in preparation for him. After all, the Chaos Body was the strongest special constitution, while the Human Gate possessed the heaven-defying function of enlightenment. The two were a perfect match.
Of course, Xiao Yun had also needed a teacher to guide him in his early days, so that teacher had to cultivate the Chaos Scripture as well.
"And the second?" Xiao Yun continued asking.
The Heavenly Emperor smiled. "The second was, of course, taking you as his disciple."
"Hm? Could it be that Master Di Tian had not wanted to take me as his disciple back then?" Xiao Yun froze,
