155: Dihua, it's dark in the capital!
Under the overpass, the atmosphere, which had been relatively relaxed, instantly became incredibly heavy and oppressive following Daoist Feng's first failed divination.
The muscular man from the Qin Clan murmured in utter disbelief, "That's impossible. Daoist Feng can even divine the Martial Saint of our Qin Clan. How could this divination of Shen Pan fail?"
Could this Shen Pan be stronger than a Martial Saint? How is that possible! How old is Shen Pan, anyway!
At this, the Awakened one who had previously claimed that Shen Pan was definitely inferior to the President felt his cheeks burn, as if he had been slapped hard across the face.
Everyone present was intelligent; after the initial shock and worry, they quickly calmed down and began to analyze the trump cards of that Shen Pan.
They could be certain that the other party had not achieved a Breakthrough to Epic Rank. Then, excluding the possibility that Shen Pan possessed a Heaven-Defying treasure...
A newcomer immediately began to make excuses for Daoist Feng, "Shen Pan is a dual-cultivator of the Professional system and is also an assassin with stealth abilities. Could this be the reason for Daoist Feng's failure?"
"Hmm... perhaps?" "It's not impossible. After all, no one knows the name of Shen Pan's profession to this day."
Seeing that everyone was cautiously avoiding the topic of whether to participate in the God Conferment Battle and instead began to debate who was stronger: the Sun Goddess in her prime or the President, who had just reached the ninth rank but possessed instant-death abilities.
Daoist Feng silently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. A flash of intense horror and worry crossed his eyes. He felt like running away.
That Shen Pan was absolutely abnormal! Just now, when he was divining Shen Pan, in order not to infringe on the other party's privacy, he hadn't even performed divination regarding Shen Pan personally. He had only simply divined what impact this God Conferment Battle would have on them, and his phrasing had been very tactful.
Even so, in the moment before the crystal ball shattered, a void of Chaos and a black tide flashed through his mind! Even though it was only for an instant, his consciousness felt as if it had been lost in that black tide for several months! Even his own consciousness and memories had been slightly eroded and erased!
This was the reason why his complexion had suddenly become haggard and his vitality had collapsed. "This doesn't feel like a backlash, but rather like... Shen Pan discovered someone was divining him and deliberately gave me a punishment and warning?"
What level of power was this? Even an Epic Peak could not do this! Then, it could only be... Legendary!!! However, there was currently only one Legendary on Blue Star, the Great Xia Sword Immortal.
So, was Shen Pan actually from Blue Star? "The other party went to Sakura and killed the [Sun Goddess]. Could this be an attempt to nip our human Prodigy in the bud? As for the attack from the Abyss Realm, it might also have been deliberately planned by the other party, or perhaps the other party is already in a cooperative relationship with the Abyss!"
Otherwise, there were so many countries on Blue Star without an Epic Expert. Why would the demons insist on attacking Sakura, which was not far from Great Xia? If they attacked other small countries, even if the projection of the Archduke of Demons were intercepted, ordinary middle-to-high-rank demons could quickly massacre a country!
Instead of fighting against the Awakened of Sakura, taking half a day just to destroy one Neon City! Demons aren't stupid; they wouldn't do a losing business. The only explanation is that helping Shen Pan cover up would yield greater benefits! Everything made sense now.
Shen Pan was very likely an Incarnation of an alien powerhouse walking on Blue Star! With a storm raging in his heart, Daoist Feng felt cold sweat on his back and his hair standing on end. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and the more he worried about being killed to silence him. He couldn't help but touch his pocket. Inside was the business card given to him by the deputy director of the Imperial Capital Special Affairs Bureau. He would go report Shen Pan right now, hoping it wasn't too late!
"Hello? I want to report..." After Daoist Feng finished telling what he had seen and his own speculations, a scoff came from the other side: "Daoist Feng, don't waste time with these kinds of speculations in the future. Your Excellency Shen Pan is fine!"
"Perhaps your eyes were just playing tricks on you earlier, or the divination was a mistake." "Huh?! Wait, Shen Pan really has a problem! How can you just brush it off so casually?" "Even if you are too lazy to investigate, you should at least report it!"
Unfortunately, the deputy director had no intention of paying attention to him and hung up the phone directly. "..." Daoist Feng looked at the hung-up phone, and his heart gradually sank.
The Special Affairs Bureau, which should have been targeting alien races, actually chose to shield Shen Pan and even warned him not to spread rumors! It was evident that Shen Pan's schemes and layouts in Great Xia were extremely powerful. The other party had already established a dominant trend! "The sky of the Imperial Capital has darkened!"
... Antarctica. The Great Xia Sword Immortal, who was trying to find a way to recall her past life memories related to [sorrow of no light], put down the broken iron bar in her hand in disappointment once again. Even though the Immortal Sword could allow her to sever concepts to a certain extent, it could not restore memories that never existed in the first place!
"It can't be wrong. That very detailed encyclopedia of the Desolate God Realm was gifted to me by [sorrow of no light] back then." "Why would the other party do this? Could it be that He couldn't bear to see Blue Star suffer?"
If not for [Joy] chatting with Junior Classmate Shen Pan today, she really wouldn't have discovered that her own memories had so many incomplete and suspicious parts! It was evident that the ability of [sorrow of no light] was truly too terrifying...
In her past life, she was a Mythic Rank with an Immortal Sword, yet she had her cognition modified by the other party without even knowing it! Even at the end of the fourth Transcendence Awakening, the entire Blue Star's cognition regarding that entity only held the concept of the Master of the Desolate God Realm!
"In my past life, the destruction of Neon City in Sakura must have also been related to Him. I definitely went to support Sakura..." Xia Zhaoyue began to review from the initial node.
"So, at that time, we fought a battle and became friends?" Wouldn't that be too much of a joke? She remembered that the two of them often sent letters and small gifts to each other. Although she had no memory of the contents of the letters, during that period, the relationship between them should have been gradually getting better.
The other party even persuaded the Sky Lineage of the Desolate God Realm, granting Blue Star many Spells and items related to purification and healing. In the first war between Blue Star and the Abyss, many Martial Artists were saved! It was clear that the Sky Lineage was completely manipulated by [sorrow of no light]!
This also aligned with the ending where the God of the Sky, Olivia, chose to betray the Desolate God Realm. But Little Six was still hiding with the Dragon, causing trouble in secret. There was simply no time or opportunity to board the aerial kingdom of the Sky Lineage!
A trace of helplessness flashed across Xia Zhaoyue's exquisitely otherworldly face. "Unfortunately, with the timeline completely chaotic now, I no longer have the chance to get the truth." Otherwise, she would have made the other party experience the care of a pen pal!
