"Xiao Xiao-a child formed from the fusion of Medusa and the residual soul power of the Fallen Heart Flame's soul. Although she carries the power of Xiao Yan's bloodline, she is indeed the Fallen Heart Flame's child. Xiao Yan was merely a vessel for making the child."
Immediately afterward, several more scenes flashed rapidly across the screen.
They all showed Medusa holding a little girl who could only babble.
Even when she saw Xiao Yan, she did not call him Dad and only babbled.
The moment the words appeared on the screen, Xiao Xun'er and Nalan Yanran's expressions changed within the Misty Cloud Sect.
Brother Xiao Yan really would become involved with Medusa in the future.
Leaving aside whether the child was biologically his, they had done all the intimate things they were supposed to do.
Whether the child was his no longer mattered.
Bang!
In the Snake-People's desert, Queen Medusa unleashed another burst of power in anger.
Although the woman on the screen did not resemble her, she bore the name Medusa.
That made her uncomfortable no matter how she looked at it.
"It really is the Fallen Heart Flame!"
Within the Lei Clan, Lei Ying's thoughts began churning like raging rivers and overturning seas. The invisible fire python on the screen confirmed it for him: this Fallen Heart Flame was the one at Jia Nan Academy.
Now that the Lei Clan knew this secret, they naturally needed to make preparations early. At that thought, Lei Ying did not hesitate. No longer caring about exposing the decline in his cultivation, he immediately ordered, "Lei Dong, hurry and invite Elder Mang Tianchi here. Your father has important instructions for him."
"Father!" Lei Dong hesitated.
The cultivation of all their Dou Sheng elders had fallen. If word got out, the Lei Clan would certainly be thrown into turmoil.
"Just go when I tell you to." Lei Ying's expression hardened.
How could he not know that once news of their reduced cultivation spread, the other six ancient clans would certainly make moves behind their backs? But he could no longer concern himself with that. If he did not start laying plans now, then once the news truly spread beyond the Thunder Realm, the Lei Clan's people might genuinely be unable to leave the Central Plains.
"Yes, Father." Lei Dong hurried away.
Qingshan Town, Myriad Medicine Pavilion.
"It's over."
Xiao Yan stood there alone, dumbstruck. This cuckold's hat had landed on his head far too suddenly!
It would have been better if she had been his biological daughter.
Now look at this-not only had Xun'er and Gu Yuan seen it, but he was not even the biological father of a child carrying his bloodline. Who could he turn to for justice?
What shocked Xiao Yan even more was this.
Although the figures on the screen were exquisitely rendered, scarcely inferior to real people and even surpassing them in some respects.
He, Xiao Yan, had been reborn and transmigrated here.
No matter how exquisite the images or how beautiful the figures were, they were not real people. They were animated characters!
At that thought, Xiao Yan suddenly shuddered.
His eyes widened instantly, his gaze fixed firmly on the seven characters spelling out "in the Battle Through the Heavens animation."
Earlier, his shock over the daughter and son had made him overlook the animation. Now that he remembered it, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
The more Xiao Yan thought, the more sweat gathered on his head.
Although he had transmigrated in 2009, he had read rebirth and transmigration novels such as A Step into the Past, Returning to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince, and Joy of Life. Their protagonists had simply traveled into ancient times.
Xiao Yan's legs went weak, and he collapsed inside the shop, muttering, "Animation, the Battle Through the Heavens animation, the complete Battle Through the Heavens collection... could I have been reborn and transmigrated into an animation or novel?"
"Yan'er." Xiao Zhan jumped in fright.
Unable to see the Answering Space, he naturally did not know that his dear son's thoughts were churning like raging rivers and overturning seas.
But the cold sweat pouring from Xiao Yan's body was unmistakable.
At that moment, Xiao Yan's soul was shaking, startling even Yao Chen.
"Is this... a barrier of knowledge and perception?" Yao Chen's expression changed drastically.
No longer caring that there were still quite a few ordinary people inside the Myriad Medicine Pavilion's medicine shop, he emerged from the ring at once.
"Xiao Zhan, hurry, clear the place! Don't let anyone touch Xiao Yan, or he'll die."
The illusory figure's sudden appearance gave everyone a terrible fright.
But before they could do anything, Xiao Zhan erupted.
He unleashed the full strength of a Seven-Star Great Dou Master, his immense presence pressing down on everyone in the room until they trembled.
"All of you, get out!"
Xiao Zhan pointed at the door and roared furiously.
A Da Dou Shi?
When had the mercenaries of Qingshan Town ever seen an expert like this?
Even seven-, eight-, or nine-star Dou Zhe could swagger through Qingshan Town unchallenged.
A one-star Dou Shi was an overlord-level figure in Qingshan Town.
Let alone an expert like a Da Dou Shi.
Some people went their entire lives without ever seeing what a Da Dou Shi looked like.
Thus, the moment Xiao Zhan unleashed his strength, everyone, including the shop assistants, scrambled and crawled outside.
Having ensured that Xiao Yan would not be disturbed, the two watched worriedly as he muttered.
Something about animation, novels, illusion, truth and falsehood...
Xiao Yan muttered faster and faster, and his soul shook more and more violently.
Just as Yao Chen hesitated over whether to knock him unconscious despite the risk of leaving him an idiot.
Xiao Yan suddenly shouted.
"When falsehood becomes truth, truth becomes falsehood; when truth becomes falsehood, falsehood becomes truth."
"I am who I am. I am a real person."
"I am Xiao Yan."
His voice was so loud and piercing that even Xiao Zhan, a powerful Da Dou Shi, felt dizzy for a moment.
"Is this Late Mortal Realm soul power?" Yao Chen looked shocked.
Without the aid of medicinal ingredients, he had broken through the barrier of knowledge and perception on his own, surging from the early Mortal Realm straight to the late stage in one go. What tremendous willpower was this?
This time, he, Yao Chen, truly had picked up a treasure.
Having come to his senses, Xiao Yan panted heavily and wiped the sweat from his head.
He smiled at the worried Xiao Zhan and Yao Chen. "Father, Ancestor, I'm fine. I'm going to close my eyes and rest for a while. Don't let anyone disturb me."
With that, he closed his eyes.
At that moment, inside the Answering Space, a new question had already begun.
"Question two!"
"In the world of Battle Through the Heavens, what famous line did Xiao Yan shout when Nalan Yanran came to break off their engagement?
a. Thirty years east of the river; do not scorn a young man for being poor.
b. Thirty years west of the river; do not scorn a young man for being poor.
c. Thirty years west of the river, thirty years east of the river; do not scorn a young man for being poor.
D. Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; do not scorn a young man for being poor.
Please select the correct answer from the options above.
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river-isn't that a phrase from The Scholars?" Seeing the new question, Xiao Yan's expression turned strange.
"And I didn't shout anything when she broke off the engagement, did I?"
"Could the questions this Answering Space asks be..."
Having broken through his barrier of knowledge and perception, Xiao Yan's mind was clear. An idea arose in his heart, but he was still somewhat uncertain.
The Misty Cloud Sect.
Xiao Xun'er and Nalan Yanran were also rather bewildered.
Both of them had been present at the time. No one knew better than they did whether Xiao Yan had shouted anything.
"Why are the questions in this space different from how things have actually unfolded?" Xiao Xun'er looked thoughtful.
Nalan Yanran bit her lip as a bad premonition arose in her heart.
Inside the space.
Everyone's brows knitted tightly together.
Nalan Yanran. Nalan Yanran again.
The beginning of the failure of Hun Tiandi's grand plan had been her breaking off the engagement.
Thus, Hun Tiandi's expression also turned savage. He stared fixedly at the question, terrified of missing a detail, choosing incorrectly, and having his cultivation reduced again.
