446: Kept in the dark

"You've been following me all this time?" Lin Ye was a little surprised.

He hadn't known.

Even Fate hadn't sensed it.

Right, for such small fry, even if they harbored ill will towards him, Fate would ignore it; it was just a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

"Yes, but you moved too fast, we couldn't keep up at all," Little Angel said.

After spending some time with Lin Ye,

she was no longer afraid.

She was an Angel of Domain Lord Three Stars, after all. Although she was inexperienced, she still had some adaptability.

Mainly, aside from being terrifying when Lin Ye first revealed his identity, he was quite amiable the rest of the time.

Little did she know, Lin Ye was suppressing himself, afraid she might faint again and cause trouble.

Otherwise, the side effects of his Blood Dragon Body would be more than just these.

"Your Angel God is truly something. Why didn't she send some stronger individuals?" Lin Ye said.

"I'm very strong, okay? My speed is among the top in the Angel Clan!" Little Angel transformed into a ray of light, instantly appearing in the distance.

"A rare Law of Light? Rare, truly rare," Lin Ye praised.

The Law of Light, a branch of the Law of Light, was terribly weak in attack, even inferior to some trash laws. However, in stark contrast, it boasted terrifying speed; it was the strongest speed law in a straight line.

With the Law of Light, plus Little Angel's innate talent, her speed was probably superior even to a Domain Lord Six Stars expert.

The two chatted along the way.

Lin Ye also managed to get all her information.

She was too easy to trick. Lin Ye didn't even need to ask much, and Little Angel blurted out all the information.

Her name was Tiya, considered a small genius of the Angel Clan, only thirty thousand years old. Hmm, several times older than Lin Ye, but he didn't know why she was so naive.

A hundred years ago, she received a mission to find the Blood Demon and invite him back to the clan.

"Recently, I don't know why, but the clan's defenses are very strict, even though there are several Heavenly Realm cities nearby, so it's very safe," Tiya said, puzzled.

Lin Ye, however, sensed something different from her words.

"Hu, a War?"

"It seems a new purge is about to begin," Hu said.

"Whenever the Angel Clan's power expands, the Divine Faction will execute a purge plan under various pretexts to eliminate all possibilities of rebellion," Hu revealed this secret.

"Oh? Why? Aren't Angels the loyal dogs of the Gods?" Lin Ye was not very familiar with ancient secrets.

"It's normal that you don't understand. Even your teacher probably doesn't understand much. After all, given his age, he's probably only experienced one or two Angel purges, and not being a Heavenly Realm native, he knows even less."

"In fact, the original inhabitants of the Heavenly Realm were Angels. The kind Angels accepted the spontaneously self-actualized innate lives of the Star Realm, allowing them to co-exist in the Heavenly Realm."

"But they didn't expect the other party to be greedy and take an inch for a mile. Step by step, they slowly encroached upon the Angel's land, and after an Angel-Demon War, they completely reversed everything."

"They restarted the Angel Clan, and to prevent Angels from following their path, they restart them periodically."

Waves stirred in Lin Ye's heart.

So, the current Heavenly Realm structure came to be this way.

Those high and mighty Gods were merely a bunch of despicable thieves.

They used the Angels' kindness to satisfy their greed, and after that, they even enslaved them, reducing them to slaves, never to rise again.

Once their power expanded, they would initiate a slaughter mode.

Judging by Little Angel Tiya's reaction, she clearly didn't know this history.

It was truly lamentable.

The lies woven by the Gods made the Heavenly Realm seem so peaceful; how could she possibly know?

Not to mention her, perhaps even many Gods in the Heavenly Realm were kept in the dark, believing that each purge was merely the Angels' betrayal.

Only he, with an ancient old monster here, knew a thing or two.

"Do you have more details?" Lin Ye asked. He was very interested in this history.

There was too much to explore within it. Only by recognizing the true nature of the Gods could he find the most suitable way to deal with them in future interactions.

"No more. Great Wizard also learned about it from an ancient book; otherwise, this matter would have been lost for who knows how long," Hu spread his hands, indicating he had been squeezed dry.

Such hidden history was intentionally buried by the Gods; likely, only God Kings and a very small number of True Gods knew. For Great Wizard to have learned about it was already quite lucky.

"Alright then."

Lin Ye didn't press further.

...........

Lin Ye arrived at the city built by the Angel Clan.

Angels were everywhere here.

The moment he arrived, he caught the attention of Angel God.

"Has he come?" Lucy looked into the distance.

At this moment, she was vastly different from before. Usually fiery and impetuous, she was now emotionless, her eyes filled with divinity.

Lin Ye followed Tiya to the Angel God's temple.

The Angels in the temple welcomed his arrival.

They spread their pure white wings, performing the highest etiquette of the Angel Clan.

Holy songs resounded, and sacred flames bloomed.

Snow-white unicorns and paradise birds danced in the sky.

"What a grand display. It seems they have a request for you," Hu said.

Lin Ye also thought so.

He walked across the floating paths made of flowers, arriving at the Angel God's hall.

Inside the hall, a perfect Angel awaited him.

She was supremely good, supremely beautiful, as if all the beauty in the world had converged upon her.

Her eyes were filled with compassion, a divine quality.

"You've come," an ethereal voice resonated.

"May I ask what Angel God seeks from me?" Lin Ye said.

"Pfft~"

Angel God couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, the divinity dissipated.

Lin Ye felt baffled.

Was what he just said that funny?

"Hahaha, Lin Ye, guess who I am?"

Angel God transformed.

A uniquely beautiful figure appeared.

"Light King!!!" Lin Ye exclaimed.

Angel God was Light King???

"I told you, call me Siviya," Siviya said with a playful smile.

Lin Ye, however, had not yet recovered from the shock.

Angel God, who was Siviya, an expert of Domain Lord Eight Stars level, actually went to impersonate Light King, a Domain Lord Five Stars, to help the Galaxy fight against the Demons?

No, what was she after?

"Hey, hey, hey, dumbfounded? You promised me back then that you'd help me predict the future, what? Backing out now?" Siviya came to Lin Ye's side and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Lin Ye said strangely, "Siviya, you really have a twisted sense of humor."

Changing identities to aid the enemy, impressive.

At that time, the Heavenly Realm and Hell were allied, part of the same faction.

But after learning the history of the Angel Clan, Lin Ye felt that everything seemed to make sense.

If it were him, he probably would have done the same.

"Do you know why?" Siviya's smile faded.

Lin Ye nodded.

"You actually know," Siviya said, surprised. The Angel Clan's innate truth-telling ability confirmed Lin Ye wasn't lying.

"If Gods treated my race like that, I would also find a way to rebel," Lin Ye said.

He had a rough guess as to why Siviya sought him out.
