"I see..."
Chen Qingyu took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:
"A million years have passed. Even if Great Emperor Kunyu's treasures were abundant, they should have been mostly taken away by now, right?"
Upon hearing this, the Quasi-Emperor Canliu smiled and shook his head, saying:
" Emperor Yu, you've misunderstood."
" The Kunyu Divine Throne was meticulously designed by the Great Emperor Kunyu as a trial ground to select a successor."
"The interior of the Divine Throne is also fraught with danger, especially since many greedy individuals, disregarding their own strength, venture into deadly areas, only to stumble into perilous situations and perish."
"Throughout history, there have been far more examples of this than those who seized opportunities and soared to great heights."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu suddenly realized and said:
"I see."
"After those Quasi-Emperor and Emperor Venerable died, their Divine Weapon Mystic Artifact, magical artifacts, and lifelong collections became new treasures."
"Therefore, over the past million years, the repeated opening of the Divine Throne has continuously attracted Quasi-Emperor and Emperor Venerable from the Myriad Dharma Dao Domain to enter the Divine Throne."
"With this repeated cycle, the treasures and opportunities within the Kunyu Divine Throne have probably not been depleted much, and may even have increased."
"As long as the legacy of Great Emperor Kunyu deep within the Divine Throne remains untouched, this situation will continue."
Quasi-Emperor Canliu smiled and said:
That's exactly right.
He sighed as he spoke:
"When I left Kunyu Continent more than a decade ago, the entire continent was in chaos, and now the situation is probably even worse."
Chen Qingyu's eyes flickered slightly, and he tentatively asked:
"May I ask, Quasi-Emperor Canliu, why don't you participate in the battle for the Divine Throne?"
Upon hearing this, the Quasi-Emperor Canliu calmly replied:
"To be honest, Emperor Yu..."
" The Divine Throne is brimming with opportunities, and it also contains the legacy of the Great Emperor Kunyu. It would be impossible for me not to be tempted."
"But I am neither alone nor an outsider; I must consider the Lineage."
Chen Qingyu frowned slightly:
"The struggle for the Divine Throne should only involve Quasi-Emperor Venerable, right?"
"With the strength of Quasi-Emperor Canliu of the Canliu Clan, as long as they participate in the struggle for the Divine Throne, is there anyone who can threaten the Yinshan Liu Clan?"
Upon hearing this, the Quasi-Emperor Canliu gave a wry smile:
" Emperor Yu, you think too highly of me."
"I have been Quasi-Emperor for ten thousand years, and my potential has been exhausted. I have been stuck at the first level of Heaven, and my strength is mediocre."
"To rashly enter the Divine Throne, participate in the struggle, and fight against numerous Quasi-Emperor carries a risk of death that is far too high for me to bear."
"If I perish, the Yinshan Liu Clan will surely perish; there is no other way."
He paused, took a deep breath, and said:
"Moreover, this battle for the Divine Throne is not as simple as Emperor Yu thinks."
"You should know that every time the Divine Throne opens, the number of slots is limited. Not to mention the Emperor Venerable, Quasi-Emperor basically have to fight for them."
"However, before entering the Divine Throne, everyone remained relatively calm. It would be too much of a waste to fight for a single spot and end up perishing."
"Therefore, in the successive battles for the Divine Throne, a tacit rule gradually formed: the Quasi-Emperor would not intervene in the competition for the spots to enter the Divine Throne, but would instead allow their Holy Saint King and Saint to fight each other on specific battlefields to compete for the right to the spots."
"After all, the strength of one's subordinates can, to some extent, reflect the strength of Quasi-Emperor; moreover, it avoids the risk of direct combat, which is why it is highly regarded by many Quasi-Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu understood:
"So that's how it is..."
"So, if you, Quasi-Emperor Canliu, participate in the Quasi-Emperor competition, then the Yinshan Liu Clan will inevitably have to participate as well?"
"Good."
Quasi-Emperor Canliu Shenliu sighed and slowly said:
"My Yinshan Liu Clan has only existed for tens of thousands of years, with shallow foundations and weak strength."
"If we rashly participate in the fierce competition for a single spot, we might end up severely weakened and without backup. It's simply not worth it."
"After much deliberation, I have no choice but to lead my people and leave Kunyu Continent to seek refuge."
Chen Qingyu's eyes flickered slightly as he pressed for an answer:
"Can't we remain neutral?"
Upon hearing this, the Quasi-Emperor Canliu asked in return:
" Emperor Yu, have you ever heard of the story of the snipe and the clam fighting, while the fisherman benefits?"
Before each battle begins, Kunyu Continent is in chaos, with major forces forming alliances, expanding their manpower, recruiting soldiers, and annexing other forces to create alliances.
"And the first thing the numerous allies need to do is to wipe out the remaining forces and prevent any possibility of others profiting from the situation."
"It's fair to say that the Kunyu Continent today has no place for so-called neutral parties; it's either friend or foe! You can't survive without joining an alliance."
As he spoke, he let out a long sigh:
" Emperor Yu, now you understand why I led my people to hastily flee the Desolate Continent, don't you?"
"If I don't leave, someone will definitely force me to choose sides, and then I won't be able to leave even if I want to..."
Chen Qingyu nodded and said:
"I understand... It seems that Quasi-Emperor Canliu has had a difficult journey," said Miaomiao'er.
"Ha ha..."
Quasi-Emperor Canliu laughed:
"I'm quite lucky. After wandering for more than ten years, I've finally found this place and have a temporary place to stay."
"If you're unlucky, it's normal to drift in the Sea of Chaos for decades or even centuries."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu nodded slightly.
Even the Kings of High Antiquity, protected by the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror, and riding in the flying boat bestowed by that Emperor Venerable, still drifted for over a hundred years before finally landing on the Desolate Continent.
From this, we can deduce:
The Quasi-Emperor Canliu and his group from the Yinshan Liu Clan drifted to the Desolate Continent seems like a coincidence, but in reality, the probability is very small.
After all, given the vastness of the Kunyu Continent, there must be quite a few people like the Yinshan Liu Clan who fled for refuge. In the past tens of thousands of years, only three groups of people have drifted to the Desolate Continent.
As for the Dragon Race, although they are also outsiders, they are not from the Kunyu Continent.
"Oh, right..."
The Quasi-Emperor Canliu, seemingly lost in thought, spoke up:
" Emperor Yu, according to the information gathered by my people, this place seems to be the hiding place of the Quasi-Emperor Shengyuan, but he has already passed away at the end of his life."
"I wonder, are you familiar with Quasi-Emperor Shengyuan?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu paused for a moment, then said:
"I have indeed paid him a visit in person, but... why do you refer to this place as his hiding place?"
"Could it be that he offended someone in the Kunyu Continent?"
Quasi-Emperor Canliu shook his head:
"That's not entirely wrong, but... there's more to it than that."
As he spoke, a complex look appeared in his eyes:
" Emperor Yu probably doesn't know that the Quasi-Emperor Shengyuan is a renowned super genius in the Kunyu Continent, with a reputation that resounds throughout the land."
"I grew up listening to his legends..."
