153: The truth spanning 30,000 years
The white-haired man on the throne slightly raised his eyes, his gaze like an abyss, deep and calm.
He gently waved his hand, signaling Weber to retreat.
Weber hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Venerable, what if he is..."
"I have already sensed what happened just now."
Revered Xinghe's voice echoed in the hall.
"Someone with such Martial Skill attainment cannot be a Demonic Beast transformed."
Su Lei, standing nearby, couldn't help but frown.
Although the previous battle was short and no victor was decided.
He could confirm one thing—
This man named Weber was undoubtedly a Grandmaster level.
The pressure he exerted even surpassed Lei Mietian!
Yet, he had never heard of this person's name or deeds.
What puzzled Su Lei even more was that, despite being a Martial Dao Great Grandmaster, he was so respectful to this Venerable...
As Su Lei pondered in silence, the man on the throne slowly rose.
Under the starlight, his appearance finally became clear.
A chiseled outline, eyes as deep as the starry sky, and... a face that perfectly matched the figure in the stone tablet mural who sealed the Demonic Beast with his own body!
Su Lei's pupils suddenly contracted, his heart almost stopping for a moment.
An utterly preposterous thought exploded in his mind like a thunderclap—
Could it be... he had Transmigrated to the ancient era, thirty thousand years ago?!
Revered Xinghe suddenly raised his hand, a wisp of faint blue light glowing at his fingertips.
A gentle Mental Energy fluctuation, like a trickling stream, silently seeped into Su Lei's mind.
In an instant, an unfamiliar language was etched into his consciousness like a brand, every syllable becoming clear and discernible.
"The end has come..."
The other party's voice echoed in the hall. Although speaking a language he had never heard, Su Lei instantly understood its meaning.
Mental translation?
Su Lei understood in his heart; the other party had directly transmitted the language and text into his Sea of Consciousness using Mental Energy.
Revered Xinghe's gaze was profound as he continued, "Recently, Xinghui City and Tianri City have successively fallen. Twenty Great Grandmasters, and one Venerable, have already fallen in battle."
Although his voice was calm, it carried an indescribable heaviness.
"The great war is imminent. Tianyuan City has made preparations for battle, so everyone misunderstood you..."
"Outsider... where exactly are you from?"
Su Lei was silent for a moment, unconsciously caressing the hilt of his Kaitian Blade.
He took a deep breath, deciding to tell the truth.
"I am from the future, thirty thousand years from now."
As soon as his words fell, the atmosphere in the hall abruptly changed.
The guards who had been standing silently on both sides all turned to look.
Weber, who was about to leave, spun around abruptly, his scarred face filled with shock.
"How is this possible?!"
Revered Xinghe, however, showed no surprise; he simply remained silent for a long time, finally sighing softly.
"So that's how it is..."
"Did we ultimately fail?"
Su Lei slowly nodded, his voice low.
"Thirty thousand years later, we discovered an ancient Demonic Beast sealed in the deepest part of the ruins."
He paused, his gaze fixed on Revered Xinghe on the throne.
"And... your remains."
"How dare you!!" The guards roared in anger,
Their long spears 'clang'ed as they simultaneously pointed at Su Lei, their tips glinting with cold light, murderous intent surging like a tide.
Weber was even more enraged, his bone blade 'hum'med as it unsheathed half an inch, the bone joints on the blade writhing wildly, blood mist churning!
"You dare to disrespect the Venerable!!"
Revered Xinghe gently raised his hand.
Buzz—
An invisible Mental Energy fluctuation spread like ripples, instantly calming everyone's anger.
The guards' movements stopped abruptly, as if confined by an invisible force, and even Weber's bone blade was forcibly pressed back into its sheath.
Silence returned to the hall.
Revered Xinghe looked at Su Lei and slowly said, "It seems we still failed."
Su Lei sighed softly, "Now its Seal is constantly weakening, and it is about to break free."
"Therefore, I came here through a portal, seeking a solution."
Revered Xinghe's gaze shifted slightly, signaling him to continue.
Su Lei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "In fact, the world I live in is about to face a second catastrophe."
Meeting the other party's gaze, he slowly recounted everything about the future world—
The first catastrophe, the Spiritual Qi recovery, rampant mutated beasts, humanity struggling to survive...
After listening, a complex light flashed in Revered Xinghe's eyes.
"When Spiritual Qi recovered, all living beings evolved."
"A hundred years later, the sleeping Demonic Beasts awakened again and launched an invasion..."
"Not just you, we also encountered these. We are currently facing the second catastrophe."
"What?!" Su Lei's pupils contracted sharply, his heart feeling a heavy blow.
He suddenly looked up, "Is this not an accident, but... an inevitable event?!"
Revered Xinghe slowly nodded: "This is a screening, and also a kind of Reincarnation."
Su Lei's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice hoarse: "Why is this happening?"
Revered Xinghe shook his head, his gaze as deep as the starry sky: "Unclear."
"But what we can do is strive to survive the second catastrophe..."
"Only then, perhaps, can we know the answer to all of this."
The hall fell into a brief silence.
Su Lei took a deep breath, his gaze burning as he looked at Revered Xinghe.
"What can I do?"
The Venerable's profound eyes gazed at him, as if stars were being born and extinguished in his pupils.
That gaze seemed to penetrate flesh and blood, directly into the depths of his Soul.
"Your foundation is very good, and you have mastered many Martial Skill essentials, but this level is far from enough."
"Only by officially becoming a Martial Ancestor can you barely be qualified to fight Demonic Beasts."
"Martial Ancestor?" Su Lei frowned slightly.
"It can be understood as your Great Grandmaster."
Su Lei straightened his back, his gaze sharp: "I will stay and help you defend the city."
The Venerable, however, gently shook his head, "You should still leave here."
"Leave? Where can I hide?"
Su Lei's voice was low, his gaze sweeping across the dim sky outside the hall,
"The threat of Demonic Beasts spans thirty thousand years of time and space; I have no way out."
"Time is too short." The Venerable sighed.
"Even becoming a Martial Ancestor now cannot change anything."
"This is our destiny."
The Venerable's gaze fell on a certain spot in the Void Realm, and a brilliant blue crystal appeared in his palm.
"The place you came from still retains traces of spatial fluctuations, but it cannot be maintained for too long..."
"I will use the power of the Divine Stone to open a portal and send you back."
"Send me back?" Su Lei couldn't help but frown.
"Since you can open a portal, why not lead your people to the future with me?"
"Gather the strength of two civilizations to jointly resist the Demonic Beasts!"
The Venerable gazed at him, his eyes dimming, "We cannot leave with you."
"Why?" Su Lei asked in a deep voice.
"We do not belong to the future." The Venerable's voice carried a fated heaviness.
"The World Will will spontaneously reject us; once we enter the portal, we will immediately get lost in the chaotic flow of time and space."
Su Lei was silent for a long time, then suddenly looked up.
"Before I leave, I must understand the secret of the Seal."
"Otherwise, even if I go back, I will still have to face the threat of Demonic Beasts."
"Humanity thirty thousand years later needs this answer!"
