162: Chapter 162 Gods and Demons

The nearest town was called Shishui Town, and most of its residents made a living by fishing.

Song Tiancheng casually found a hotel and rented a room.

After the hotel receptionist finished the paperwork, they were still muttering behind their back about two men sharing a room.

Walking into the room.

Song Tiancheng ignored Ye Mo, went to the bathroom to take a shower, even washed the clothes he was wearing, and then walked out in pajamas.

"Young man, do you smoke?" Song Tiancheng took out a pack of cigarettes, pulled one out, and then extended a finger, which suddenly flashed with a spark of fire.

He then tossed the entire pack of cigarettes to Ye Mo.

Ye Mo caught it and then tossed it onto the table.

Song Tiancheng grinned, then walked to the window and looked out at the dim neon lights.

"Young man, I don't know where your abilities come from, and I don't care about that. In fact, we discovered you as soon as you entered Yanjing, but we didn't make a move against you. Do you know why?"

Song Tiancheng kept his gaze fixed outside the window, his voice carrying a hint of vicissitudes.

"Please enlighten me, old sir."

Ye Mo no longer denied it; there was little point in doing so now.

"At first, we didn't know your strength, but we were certain you weren't one of us, so we wanted to see what you were doing in Yanjing. It wasn't until you appeared for Qin Tian that I realized your strength should be no weaker than mine, and you didn't seem to have any malice toward the Qin Family, so we wanted to recruit you. Unfortunately, we could never find your whereabouts."

When Song Tiancheng said this, he suddenly turned around, a smile finally appearing on his face: "I didn't expect that the person we were looking for was actually you. It makes sense; we really should have thought of it from the start. When you were at the Qin Family and specifically stated you would protect the Qin Family, it couldn't have been anyone else but you."

In fact, all Four Great Families had speculated about who the person who was hiding at that time was.

They had thought of Ye Mo, but once they investigated him and found that he was only in his early thirties, they quickly ruled him out.

How powerful could someone in their thirties possibly be?

"What do you mean by asking me to join you?" Ye Mo asked.

"Naturally, it's to deal with the Divine Realm. According to our speculation, in six months, those from the Divine Realm will all enter Blue Star, and by then, the entire Blue Star will be ruled by the Divine Realm."

Song Tiancheng took a deep drag of his cigarette, then flicked his finger, sending the cigarette butt into the ashtray on the table.

"How do you know this?" Ye Mo's pupils constricted.

"It was calculated, of course."

Song Tiancheng walked to the table, took out another cigarette, lit it, and said, "Have you heard of the prophecy that 2029 will be the end of Blue Star?"

"I have not!"

Ye Mo said without thinking, clearly skeptical of Song Tiancheng's words. He then continued, "Even if the Divine Realm rules Blue Star, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing for Blue Star, right? Even if those God Emperors want to devour the Physical Body of God Disciples and God Envoys, it doesn't seem to have any impact on ordinary people."

"You really don't know anything. I'm truly curious about how you attained your level of Cultivate."

Song Tiancheng shook his head, then turned back to look out the window. "Who told you that God Emperors want to devour God Disciples and God Envoys? There are no more God Emperors in the Divine Realm; those so-called God Emperors were devoured long ago."

"What did you say!" Ye Mo's scalp began to tingle, and his pupils widened instantly.

"You may have heard others say that God Emperors want to devour God Disciples, but have you ever thought about why?"

Song Tiancheng narrowed his eyes, and without waiting for Ye Mo to answer, he continued, "Is it for Cultivate? Heh, I can tell you that we and those in the Divine Realm practice the same Cultivation Technique, the Star Body Refining Technique, but this technique does not have the function of devouring others to increase cultivation."

"Then what is it? Is everything just a rumor?" Ye Mo felt a bit agitated because many things were different from what he had imagined.

"Of course it's not a rumor. The Divine Realm sends people to find seeds for Cultivate and takes them back to the Divine Realm to Cultivate. Once they reach a certain Realm, they are indeed devoured, but not by God Emperors, but by Gods and Demons!"

Song Tiancheng's voice gradually turned cold.

"What are Gods and Demons?" Ye Mo asked immediately.

Could it be some kind of demonic cultivator? Was the Divine Realm ruled by demonic cultivators? Just like the Nanzhou of the Water Moon Realm?

"I don't know. No one knows where the Gods and Demons came from. The only thing that can be confirmed is that these Gods and Demons are very powerful, and their ultimate goal is to devour everyone in the world."

Song Tiancheng said.

"What's the reason?" Ye Mo asked again.

"I don't know. We aren't clear on many things. From the day our Four Great Families were founded, that is, two thousand years ago, our mission has been to oppose the Divine Realm. However, we, the descendants, have failed the high expectations of our ancestors. Not only are we unable to contend with the Divine Realm, but in the end, we can only hide our identities."

Song Tiancheng sighed.

After so many years, the talents of their Family descendants have become worse and worse.

The overall strength has become weaker and weaker.

"There must be a reason, or perhaps you can tell me how the Divine Realm was formed and why you have such a deep grudge against them?"

There were indeed many things Ye Mo could not figure out.

From what Song Tiancheng said, the Divine Realm should be very strong, perhaps even completely crushing the Four Great Families.

Then why does the Divine Realm still come to Blue Star every twenty years?

"At first, it was the mission set by the Old Ancestor, but after the Old Ancestor died, we were simply unable to contend with the Divine Realm. As for the grudge, the Old Ancestor didn't say, and we don't care now; all we want is to survive."

Song Tiancheng shook his head and continued, "The formation of the Divine Realm was created by the Gods and Demons, and it also took away all of Blue Star's Spiritual Veins. This has led to our descendants having worse and worse talent, and resources becoming increasingly scarce."

"Spiritual Veins..." Ye Mo guessed that this must refer to Spiritual Veins.

At this moment, Ye Mo also understood that the reason those God Disciples had Spirit Stones was perhaps because they were brought from the Divine Realm.

However, there was one point Ye Mo didn't understand: since the Spiritual Veins had been dug away, how did the Four Great Families Cultivate? Where did their Spirit Stones come from?

Ye Mo did not ask directly, as he felt this should be a core secret of the Four Great Families, and asking directly would seem a bit abrupt.

"In half a year, perhaps we won't be able to change anything, but since we'll die either way, little brother, are you willing to fight against the Gods and Demons with us?"

Song Tiancheng suddenly smiled.

"You still haven't told me how you can be so certain that the Divine Realm will fully enter Blue Star this time?"

Ye Mo did not agree.

He felt that perhaps even the people of the Divine Realm did not know about the Sanming Mountain Secret Realm.

"It's a prophecy, something our Old Ancestor said. Do not doubt the words of our Old Ancestor."

"Fine. Before the Divine Realm arrives, I will give you a satisfactory answer..."
