"More than fifty years ago, at the edge of the realm, I encountered a human man who had been severely injured by the Asura Sacred King."
I saw how pitiful he was, so I saved his life and took him back to the palace to recover."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mu secretly shook his head. The Manju Sacred King was being far too kind, saving the life of any random stranger and taking him back to the palace to recover.
However, the Manju Sacred King was indeed known for his benevolence. Over the years, he had been working hard to promote good relations between the Nether Clan and the Human Clan, which gave the Human Clan a place in the Netherworld. Otherwise, the Human Clan in the Netherworld would probably have been wiped out long ago.
"After the man recovered from his injuries, he said that he was God-Slaying God Clan of the Pan Emperor Continent, and his name was Chen Fusheng."
That's when I understood why I felt an inexplicable fondness for him the moment I saw him; it turned out he was a member of the God-Slaying God Clan.
Chen Mu was taken aback upon hearing this, and quickly asked, "What's wrong with the God-Slaying God Clan? What's so special about them?"
Manju Sacred King smiled and sighed, "Sister Wangchuan's lover back then was the ancestor of the God-Slaying God Clan, the first God-Slaying God."
"And I was born carrying her longing, so it's natural that I'm drawn to the God-Slaying God Clan. What's so strange about that?"
Her eyes held memories, but also a deep sadness. "Although the God-Slaying God Clan is not the offspring of God-Slaying God, they are God-Slaying God's most steadfast followers. They have guarded the Heart of Pan Emperor with God-Slaying God for billions of years and have made countless contributions to the Pan Emperor Great World."
When they slayed the gods and transformed into the Dao, the soul imprint of the god-slaying was left in their bloodline. From then on, they truly possessed the power to slay gods and became the strongest race in the world.
Chen Fusheng showed me his God-Slaying Soul Seal, and that's when I confirmed that he was a member of the God-Slaying God Clan.
Mingye subconsciously looked at Chen Mu. She had heard Chen Mu mention that the ancient ancestor of the Chen Clan was also God-Slaying God, but Chen Mu did not speak, and she did not ask.
"And then? What did Chen Fusheng do?"
The God-Slaying Child Seal on Chen Mu's left palm glowed faintly. He hesitated, wondering whether to tell the Manju Sacred King about his ancestor, but he still wanted the Manju Sacred King to finish telling the story first.
"Then, Chen Fusheng began to pursue me intensely. He was very patient and spent more than ten years getting me to accept him."
It wasn't until after I gave birth to Mingye that I discovered his approach to me was for a purpose; it was all a conspiracy by the Heavenly Court.
At this point, a look of resentment flashed in the eyes of the Manju Sacred King. She grasped one of Mingye's hands and gently rubbed it, as if this could ease the unease in her heart.
Mingye placed his other hand on the back of her hand with a sense of comfort, his eyes full of encouragement.
" The Heavenly Court? The Heavenly Court is actually interfering in the affairs of the Netherworld?"
Chen Mu Outer Dao.
As far as he knew, an unknown event had indeed occurred to the Heavenly Court's higher-ups decades ago, which led to the Abyss Devil Race' massive invasion of the Pan Emperor Continent. Could all of this be related to the Netherworld?
"Hehe! The ten-thousand-year period has come to an end, and the barrier left by the God-Slaying God is gradually weakening. How could they continue to remain silent?"
Taking over the Netherworld was only part of their plan; what they truly wanted to seize was the Heavenly Dao of the Pan Emperor Great World, the Heart of Pan Emperor.
In just a few words, the Manju Sacred King revealed many ancient secrets, which Chen Mu could not digest in a short time, so he had to continue asking questions.
"So Chen Fusheng approached you because he wanted to control the Netherworld?"
"That's right, he only wanted the Netherworld Pearl from the very beginning."
On the very day I gave birth to Mingye, he used the power of the Netherworld Pearl to open a spatial tunnel, drawing the Heavenly Court Army to invade the Netherworld.
In that battle, the Netherworld suffered heavy casualties, with at least a third of its experts lost. In the end, it was only thanks to the contingency plan left by Sister Wangchuan that the Heavenly Court's people were driven out of the Netherworld's territory.
After the people from Heavenly Court left, the Netherworld did not return to peace.
On one hand, both the Asura Sacred King and the Supreme Evil Sacred King are extremely dissatisfied with me, believing that it was my fault that gave the Heavenly Court an opportunity to take advantage of me. On the other hand, there are people in the Netherworld who have been bribed by the Heavenly Court, and they are all eyeing the Netherworld Pearl in my hands. I am caught in this vortex and have no power to ensure Ye'er's safety.
So in the end, I came up with a plan: to seal Ye'er's Nether Clan bloodline and then secretly teleport her to the Pan Emperor Continent Pan Emperor Continent, where she could grow up as Human Clan.
As the Manju Sacred King spoke, her eyes were already brimming with tears.
"Although this will be somewhat difficult, it is the safest way. If she were to stay by my side, neither the other two Holy Kings nor the Heavenly Court would allow her to live."
The relationship between the Netherworld Pearl and the companion spirit of the Mingye is even closer than the blood oath. Therefore, if another person wants to completely control the Netherworld Pearl, the only option is to kill the Mingye.
At this point, the truth about Mingye's background was finally revealed, and she showed a relieved expression.
"Mother, let bygones be bygones. Whatever happens in the future, I will face it with you."
In the past, Mingye had imagined countless times what her parents would be like, and even felt that her parents had abandoned her, so she had no intention of looking for them.
But for a person, not knowing where they came from means not knowing where they are going. It is very painful to be without roots. Over the years she spent with Chen Mu, she has come to appreciate the value of family ties more and more, and has gradually developed the Thought of finding her parents.
Now that the truth has come out, and her mother has not abandoned her, it's almost like a rebirth for her.
The Manju Sacred King touched Mingye's face, nodded with satisfaction, and finished explaining the rest.
Seventeen years later, the rumors of searching for you have died down, and you are about to come of age.
I feared that as your strength increased, the seal on your bloodline would become unstable, so I sent people to the Pan Emperor Continent to find you and bring you back.
You probably know better than I do what happened after that. Although the Netherworld Pearl was left behind on the Pan Emperor Continent, given Netherworld Pearl spiritual nature, it will definitely be able to find you on its own, so I'm not worried at all."
As a divine artifact, the Netherworld Pearl can only be imprisoned by cultivators at the God Level or above. However, the Heavenly Dao of the Pan Emperor Continent is incomplete, and God Level cultivators rarely appear, so she was naturally at ease.
"What about Chen Fusheng? Where is he now?"
A fierce glint flashed in Chen Mu's eyes; he had already decided to kill this person.
As a member of the God-Slaying God Clan, to dare commit such a shameless act, he deserves to die.
He disappeared after leading the Heavenly Court army into the Netherworld!
I've been searching for him for decades, but there's been no trace of him. I guess he's no longer in the Netherworld.
If you have any news of him, you must tell me. I want to kill him with my own hands to appease the countless souls in the Netherworld.
"The Manju Sacred King gritted his teeth and said..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mu glanced at Mingye again. No matter what, Chen Fusheng was Mingye's biological father, and he wondered what Mingye thought.
However, at this moment, Mingye also nodded and said, "He truly deserves to die! Mother Queen, I support you."
Mingye was never a soft-hearted person. She was only kind to those who deserved kindness, and she didn't care about blood ties or family ties with those shameless people.
