Everyone stared fixedly at Venerable Xuan Gu. Although his appearance and build had changed, it could still be seen that he was Wan Zhaotian from before—only younger, and more gaunt.
Lu Ren stared hard at Venerable Xuan Gu, fury burning in his eyes as he roared, "Tell me! What exactly is going on?"
Venerable Xuan Gu remained calm and carefree as he smiled. "This matter has to be traced back more than a million years. I and another companion received a mission from the Immortal sect: to turn the Guixu Star Domain into an extraterritorial battlefield!"
"An extraterritorial battlefield?"
Lu Ren was stunned. The other experts of the God Slaying Alliance were equally shocked.
"But fate was against us. We encountered Great Venerable Wu Yue pursuing your father. Your father was the King of Condemned Fates. That battle shattered the heavens and split the earth, and in the end, your father and Great Venerable Wu Yue perished together!"
When Venerable Xuan Gu reached this point, deep shock surfaced in his eyes. Even now, recalling it still left him shaken with lingering fear.
The two of us were accidentally struck by the shock waves of the battle. My companion's body and Dao were destroyed, while I was reduced to a wisp of Immortal Soul that attached itself to the Primordial Divine Seal!
"So everything you did was to revive yourself?"
Lu Ren asked.
Venerable Xuan Gu did not answer Lu Ren directly. Instead, he continued, "Back then, Zhang Ye picked up the Primordial Divine Seal. Under my guidance, he rose rapidly and established the Divine Court. He also used the resources plundered by the Divine Court to help me reforge my body!"
"But reforging my body was meaningless to me. My Immortal Soul was damaged, and my Immortal Body had collapsed.
