Origin of Heaven

Zhong Qing stroked his chin and remained silent, listening as Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Sovereign continued to speak.

Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Sovereign said in a deep voice, "Actually, the original plan was simple. The reason an Immortal Seed is an Immortal Seed is because it naturally contains a trace of primordial rule power. There is no need to comprehend the Heaven and Earth rules of the Nine Heavens to condense a Dao Fruit, so its Dao Fruit is not affected and can directly advance from a Great Emperor to a True Immortal."

"To imitate an Immortal Seed, one would try to integrate primordial rule power into the human bloodline to create an Immortal Seed artificially."

"But while it sounds simple, it is incredibly difficult to achieve."

"How can the bloodline and physique of an ordinary mortal withstand the power of a True Immortal?"

"If everyone could withstand it, then Immortal Seeds wouldn't be so rare."

"Many people speculate that the reason an Immortal Seed's bloodline naturally carries primordial rule power is because their previous life was a True Immortal who reached an extremely high realm."

"After perishing due to various reasons, a trace of True Spirit remained undying, reincarnated, and re-experienced the mystery of the womb, allowing their power to perfectly integrate with their reincarnated body."

Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Sovereign sighed softly, "Of course, this is ultimately just a speculation. Although it seems highly probable to us that it is the truth, it cannot be verified."

As she spoke, Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Sovereign looked at Zhong Qing, her eyes suddenly softening slightly.

"But this Immortal Sovereign hopes this speculation is true, because if so, you might be the reincarnation of one of those ancient mighty figures from the early days of the Immortal Alliance in ancient times, or even very likely a senior this Immortal Sovereign knew."

This, in turn, left Zhong Qing utterly bewildered.

How did he, a mere transmigrator, become the reincarnation of some senior of hers?

Of course, he couldn't tell Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Sovereign that, so he could only shrug, implicitly indicating that she could believe whatever made her happy.

Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Sovereign only mentioned it casually and quickly continued.

"In short, the plan to artificially create Immortal Seeds failed even after millions of years of effort."

"But during this process, there were also many gains. At least, our understanding of the Nine Heavens and the research into True Immortal power advanced significantly."

"After the attempts failed, the Immortal Alliance could only settle for a lesser goal."

"The goal changed from 'creating an artificial Immortal Seed that doesn't need to undergo Nine Revolutions to become an Immortal' to 'enabling the Human Race to better adapt to the Nine Heavens and possess greater resistance to the Pseudo Immortal Nine Revolutions tribulation.'"

"After this, the Celestial Race came into being."

"Of course, this process also spanned at least several million years, and several Human Race True Immortals sacrificed themselves for it."

"Among them was one who could be called the most powerful True Immortal of the Human Race in the history of the Nine Heavens… no, one of the most powerful True Immortals of all races."

"This being participated in the initial construction of the Nine Heavens and was one of the most ancient beings among the Immortals of all races, but in ancient times, he suffered fundamental damage, causing him to continuously weaken after entering the Nine Heavens."

At this point, a hint of dimness flashed in Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Sovereign's beautiful eyes.

It was only then that Yu Weichen, who had been silent, spoke in a deep voice, "That being was the leader of all races back then, one of the Twelve Immortal Lords who created the Nine Heavens, and also Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan's teacher."

Zhong Qing uttered an "Oh," finally understanding why Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Sovereign had such an expression.

At this moment, he recalled the Lord of the Abyss who called himself Chi Ji at the bottom of the Abyss.

Even the incredibly powerful Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Sovereign, who could overwhelm a True Immortal with her aura alone, was considered a junior in his eyes.

Perhaps the Lord of the Abyss was also a contemporary of the Twelve Immortal Lords back then.

Although the Lord of the Abyss had said that he could mention his name to Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Sovereign, it didn't seem necessary now, so Zhong Qing had no intention of speaking up.

Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Sovereign's expression quickly returned to its original calm, and she said, "That being was already nearing his end at the time, about to pass away."

"Therefore, he poured out his last remaining power, refined his entire bloodline into a single drop of the purest primordial True Blood, and contributed it to advance the Immortal Alliance's plan."

"It was precisely with this trace of his primordial True Blood that the plan succeeded."

"A group of elites selected from the Human Race of the Nine Heavens, and tens of thousands of fetuses that had been cultivated since conception and modified through countless secret arts, using that trace of primordial True Blood as a guide, ultimately created the current Celestial Race."

"Therefore, theoretically speaking, the current Celestial Race can actually all be considered his descendants."

Zhong Qing thought to himself, no wonder he felt that the aura of those people was both similar and dissimilar to the Human Race.

It turns out they were a group of modified humans, after all.

Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Sovereign said, "The newborn Celestial Race can be said to be unprecedentedly perfect."

"Every Celestial Race member possesses a naturally powerful bone structure and bloodline, far surpassing ordinary Human Race."

"Any Celestial Race member's talent is equivalent to the monstrous geniuses with innate Dao Bodies among the Human Race of the past. The Dao Mark on their forehead is proof of their influence by that senior's primordial rules."

"When they reach a certain realm, they can even derive various powerful innate divine abilities from the Dao Mark."

"And they possess extremely high resistance to the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations within the Nine Heavens."

"This also makes it easier for the Celestial Race to break through and even achieve True Immortal status."

"More importantly, compared to the failed creations before, the Celestial Race possesses the ability to procreate and is a true race that can develop independently."

At this point, Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Sovereign's eyes flickered, her expression seemingly complex.

"The Immortal Alliance's plan, one could say, succeeded."

"But the Human Race played a dominant role in the plan and paid a great deal for it. The accumulated foundation of countless years since entering the Nine Heavens was largely depleted, and several True Immortals, including that one, perished, which can be said to have severely damaged their vitality."

"However, the subsequent outcome was not satisfactory."

At this moment, Yu Weichen, who hadn't spoken much before, spoke up, his tone carrying a hint of indignation.

"The Celestial Race was created by the Human Race and originally belonged to a branch of the Human Race."

"Originally, the Human Race hoped that the Celestial Race could lead the Human Race to greater strength and restore the glory of the ancient Human Race."

"Who knew that in the tens of millions of years that followed, the Celestial Race did grow stronger, but gradually separated from the Human Race, and in turn, came to oppress the Human Race."

Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Sovereign sighed, "This is only natural. The various sages back then calculated everything, but they only overlooked human nature."

"Although the Celestial Race originated from the Human Race, they are stronger and more perfect than ordinary Human Race. In the eyes of mortals, the Celestial Race is no different from Immortals and gods."

"Even many cultivators look down on mortals, viewing them as ants."

"How much more so for the Celestial Race, who are naturally superior to the Human Race?"

"Today, in the eyes of many Celestial Race members, the Human Race to the Celestial Race is probably like monkeys to humans, or pythons to True Dragons, already existing on a completely different level."
