As he looked at Tianqi, Dongguan was filled with mixed feelings.
There had been four main sources of technical support for creating the life known as "Tianqi."
The first was his research into the Clone Technique.
The second was his research into life genes, especially how the Light Lord Clone could create life when it transformed into the Dark Lord.
The third was the books he had obtained from Wuyin.
The fourth was his research into the relationship between Lord Xuxing and True Shadow Venerable.
Were True Shadow Venerable and Lord Xuxing the same being?
Dongguan did not know.
But in True Shadow Venerable's view, he and Lord Xuxing were two sides of the same being. Even their Divine Kingdom was one and the same.
It was also because his Divine Kingdom had not changed that, back then, he only needed to settle his cause and effect to reclaim everything that belonged to Lord Xuxing. Moreover, he was cultivating for a second time and even had a chance to advance further.
The Primal Universe, too, seemed to regard them as the same being.
As for Dongguan himself, back then, his Human Main Body had entered the Coiled Snake Vortex and become separated from his Light Lord Clone.
At the time, he had actually feared that when his clone returned in the future, it might turn him from one being into two, causing a split. But that had not happened.
Back then, once his Human Main Body reached Liuzhong Mountain, he had immediately found a quiet place to integrate their memories.
The two sides had compared their separate experiences one by one and confirmed one thing: even if they had traded places, there would have been no real difference in how they acted.
