Upon hearing this, Qing Yanjing's crimson lips parted slightly beneath her veil, while her beautiful violet eyes widened in shock, filled with disbelief.
"The Extraterritorial Evil Clan and the Heavenly Evil God actually came from the Heavenly Origin Realm?! That's truly hard to believe!"
After a long while, Qing Yanjing exclaimed in amazement.
Meng Chen nodded. Since they had already come this far, he simply told Qing Yanjing everything about the Extraterritorial Evil Clan's origins.
"Aunt Qing, the Heavenly Evil God you speak of is actually the son of the second innate deity of my Heavenly Origin Realm, an existence known as the Holy God."
"Because the Holy God committed evil in the Heavenly Origin Realm, the supreme god of the Heavenly Origin Realm, Origin Sovereign, completely eradicated his will. But before he perished, he used his own essence to create a divine egg."
"Following the Holy God's defeat, the Holy Clan had no choice but to flee the Heavenly Origin Realm with the divine egg. That egg later hatched and became the Second-Generation Holy God."
"In the end, the Holy Clan and the Second-Generation Holy God wandered into the Great Thousand World. Since the cultivators of the Great Thousand World called them the Extraterritorial Evil Clan, the Second-Generation Holy God changed his name to the Heavenly Evil God..."
After hearing Meng Chen's revelation, Qing Yanjing was even more shocked and remained unable to recover for a long time.
So the Great Thousand World's longtime enemy had actually been refugees from another great world.
If this information were sent back to the Great Thousand World, what an uproar it would cause. The Great Thousand Palace had searched for the origins of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan for tens of thousands of years, only for the answer to be revealed on a lower plane.
Qing Yanjing came back to herself. Her beautiful eyes, still carrying traces of shock, looked at Meng Chen with even greater curiosity as she continued questioning him.
"Since you know so much about the Extraterritorial Evil Clan and the Heavenly Evil God, what about you? Who are you, and why did you come to the Great Thousand World?"
"As for me, I suppose I came to clean up a mess." Meng Chen deliberately put on a helpless expression.
Qing Yanjing's gaze sharpened slightly. "Clean up a mess? The Extraterritorial Evil Clan?"
Meng Chen nodded lightly. "Yes. When Origin Sovereign first destroyed the Holy God, the Heavenly Origin Realm was in ruins and had countless matters needing attention. He had no time to deal with anything else, allowing the Holy Clan to seize the opportunity and flee the Heavenly Origin Realm with the divine egg, leaving behind the calamity that was the Second-Generation Holy God."
"By the time Origin Sovereign realized what had happened, the Great Thousand World had already suffered disaster. So Origin Sovereign searched high and low before drafting me as forced labor, intending to airdrop me into the Great Thousand World across the Boundless Domain."
"But because the distance was simply too great and the coordinates were inaccurate, he failed to send me to the Great Thousand World and threw me onto this Dou Qi Continent instead."
"Luckily, I'd crammed plenty of knowledge about the Great Thousand World. Otherwise, in this unfamiliar place, I might have died before even getting the chance to take down the Heavenly Evil God."
Listening to Meng Chen's complaints, Qing Yanjing gradually pieced everything together.
"So that's how it was. Then was the method you used to summon me also given to you by that Origin Sovereign?"
"Yes." Meng Chen decisively shifted the blame onto Zhou Yuan.
After all, Zhou Yuan was far away in the Heavenly Origin Realm. If he didn't take the blame, who would?
Qing Yanjing lowered her eyes slightly, her face thoughtful.
With that, everything made sense.
But why had that Origin Sovereign sent Meng Chen to the Great Thousand World to eliminate the Heavenly Evil God?
Qing Yanjing asked gently, "Meng Chen, why did it have to be you who dealt with the Heavenly Evil God? Couldn't other experts from the Heavenly Origin Realm do it?"
"Because I haven't begun cultivating yet and haven't been overly tainted by the laws of the Heavenly Origin Realm, so I won't be rejected by the Great Thousand World. Besides, I possess the Divine King Physique, and my Divine Blood is pure enough to restrain all strange and evil things."
Meng Chen spoke proudly. He was not boasting; given the nature of the Divine King Physique, he truly was the Extraterritorial Evil Clan's strict father.
Hearing this, Qing Yanjing recalled the sacred aura she had sensed from Meng Chen. It was as vast as the blazing sun and as pure as the bright moon, indeed capable of restraining the Extraterritorial Evil Clan.
"By that logic, you're the savior Origin Sovereign sent to our Great Thousand World."
Qing Yanjing lightly teased Meng Chen. He quickly waved his hands and laughed awkwardly.
"Aunt Qing, you're joking. I'm only here to clean up the mess."
"Whether you are cleaning up a mess or becoming a savior, as long as you can truly eliminate the Extraterritorial Evil Clan and the Heavenly Evil God in the future, you will be a benefactor of the Great Thousand World."
"Before you truly grow strong, I will protect your path. I will never allow all your efforts to come to nothing."
As she gazed at Meng Chen, Qing Yanjing's expression became solemn. Her crimson lips parted softly, and every word she spoke carried her determination.
The Great Thousand World had endured the harassment of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan for tens of thousands of years, and half its domains had already fallen. Now, help had come from beyond their world—from a world that had once eliminated the previous "Heavenly Evil God."
For the sake of the Great Thousand World, Qing Yanjing would never allow Meng Chen to suffer any mishap. She had to help him grow as quickly as possible!
As far as she knew, the Great Thousand Demon-Transforming Formation that the Immortal Emperor had used to seal the Heavenly Evil God would not last for many more years. The Great Thousand World no longer had a second Immortal Emperor who could make such a sacrifice.
Therefore, Meng Chen was the Great Thousand World's hope!
Qing Yanjing rose to her feet. The breeze lifted her veil, and her violet eyes lowered as she looked down at Meng Chen.
Meng Chen looked up, but all he could see were her proud peaks. Only by climbing those mountains and claiming the high ground could he glimpse Qing Yanjing's true appearance.
"From today onward, I will teach you cultivation in full. We will strive to bring you to the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent as quickly as possible, so that you can ascend to the Great Thousand World sooner."
Qing Yanjing's lips parted slightly as she laid out Meng Chen's future plans.
Originally, she had intended to recover her spiritual energy first before taking Meng Chen back to the Great Thousand World.
But her spiritual energy was recovering far too slowly. Given the environment of the Dou Qi Continent, it would take at least ten years for her to recover to the Supreme Realm.
Rather than waste time on herself, she might as well devote everything to training Meng Chen and helping him ascend to the Great Thousand World as soon as possible.
Once they reached the Great Thousand World, she would also be able to recover her cultivation more quickly.
Meng Chen was both shocked and delighted. He immediately stood, clasped his hands, and bowed deeply to Qing Yanjing.
"Thank you, Aunt Qing! But since you are teaching me cultivation, it would not be right for me to accept your guidance for no reason. Aunt Qing, I see that you have no disciples either. I am willing to acknowledge you as my master. Please accept me as your disciple!"
Seeing Meng Chen suddenly do this, Qing Yanjing showed a trace of surprise.
After hesitating for quite some time, Qing Yanjing finally nodded.
Since she had already decided to teach Meng Chen cultivation, accepting him as her disciple was not inappropriate.
"Very well. From this day forward, you will be my only disciple."
Hearing Qing Yanjing agree, Meng Chen became even more excited. He immediately changed how he addressed her and bowed deeply once more.
"This disciple, Meng Chen, pays respects to Master!"
Qing Yanjing lowered her head to look at the obedient and respectful Meng Chen, and traces of satisfaction appeared in her violet eyes.
Yet the scene from long ago surfaced in her mind again, along with that strange sensation between her buttocks.
This caused a faint worry to rise within Qing Yanjing's heart once more.
Was taking Meng Chen as her disciple truly a good thing or a bad thing?
Qing Yanjing hurriedly drove those strange thoughts from her mind and secretly warned herself not to think about such things again.
Meng Chen was now her disciple. She could not overstep the boundaries!
"Chen'er, you have already become my disciple. From now on, I am your master, so do not entertain any other thoughts."
After hesitating for a moment, Qing Yanjing still could not resist warning Meng Chen, hoping to dispel some thoughts he should not have.
To her surprise, Meng Chen looked utterly confused and asked Qing Yanjing in return, "Master, what are you talking about?"
Seeing Meng Chen like this, Qing Yanjing was stunned and deeply puzzled.
Could it be that she had been mistaken before, and Meng Chen had no such thoughts toward her?
At that thought, Qing Yanjing felt ashamed and let out a soft sigh.
"Ah, it seems I was overthinking things. I misunderstood Chen'er..."
