While the Heavenly People Holy Guardian Empire was still reeling from the shock of those ancient truths, news that Zarqlan's tomb had been discovered within the Sea of Stars Most Holy Human Empire sent another shock wave through them.
They knew full well that the Holy World Guardians had once been the Heavenly People Empire of Faith, but the history the Time Worm had recounted-of the Heavenly People Empire of Faith joining the Star System Defense Alliance to fight the calamity and rebuild the universe-was so distant that even they had forgotten it.
That was to say nothing of the aid received from across spacetime, or the matter of Xi Yan.
But they had recognized the Time Worm at a glance. It was a creature from the myths passed down through their history, one that had accompanied humanity in the previous era.
Even after its departure, it had left an indelible mark on human history.
Now the Time Worm had emerged once more. It knew the past and present, and its words could hardly be false.
And Xi Yan-the leader of the heretics, as they had considered him-had in fact shouldered the responsibility of saving the universes of every spacetime. Even the proud Holy Guards could not help admiring him for that.
If they truly considered seniority and lineage, there would be no legal obstacle whatsoever to making Xi Yan emperor of the Holy Guards. This "human" had been nurtured directly by the Heavenly People Empire of Faith and possessed higher-dimensional power and a pure human soul.
Upon learning this, the Holy Guards immediately checked their records. Their archives preserved every record since the founding of their nation.
All the records corroborated the news. Xi Yan was unquestionably chosen by destiny. His mission was to become humanity's Most Holy Emperor.
