After spending tens of thousands of years in this space, even though he had been asleep most of the time, First Emperor had finally encountered a living being here, and he was quite eager to talk.
He did not care much for Zhao Li's politeness, told him to use a different form of address, then asked Zhao Li about matters outside.
At this moment, Zhao Li still did not know what that surname meant. When he heard First Emperor say that he had split the Plane Embryo into twenty-two sources, he instantly thought of the twenty-two kinds of Heavenly Flames that truly existed between heaven and earth. This was already enough to verify his earlier guess—that Heavenly Flames were part of the Plane Embryo.
He was thinking about the Plane Embryo when he heard First Emperor ask about the outside world, so he withdrew his thoughts, sorted them out, and began telling him about matters outside. As for his own doubts, he could just ask him directly later.
With that in mind, he stated everything he knew, along with some guesses, hoping to obtain answers from First Emperor:
"Senior Ye, judging from some records that occasionally appeared on the continent, after Senior's time, Dou Qi Continent developed quite well for tens of thousands of years. It was only starting more than fifty thousand years ago that Dou Qi Continent was invaded by foreign enemies, and that continued for a long span of years..."
Hearing this, First Emperor did not interrupt. Since he was still here, and had even waited here until Zhao Li's arrival, then Dou Qi Continent definitely would not have suffered any major disaster.
As for the foreign enemies, he did not need Zhao Li to say more before he thought of their identity—the Outer Realm Evil Race.
