This world is truly fascinating. Two people with ulterior motives are acting incredibly harmoniously to achieve their own goals.
Zhao Li seized the opportunity to ask questions, regardless of whether Nine Nether was telling the truth or not. He figured he could verify it later after writing it down.
Nine Nether wasn't afraid of saying too much and letting Zhao Li notice something was off. It just needed to throw out bombshell after bombshell in a seemingly reasonable manner to make Zhao Li lose focus. At that point, no matter what Zhao Li knew, he wouldn't be able to say it.
"It's still not enough. As expected of someone who could reach the peak of this world. If he had Origin Qi with resentment, he could probably reach Quasi Heavenly Supreme. Even now, with only his Soul Power reaching Heavenly Supreme, he's still a bit difficult to handle."
Nine Nether felt a bit emotional. It could already feel Zhao Li's mind shaking, but his Soul was still tough. Planting the imprint was still a bit difficult.
Hearing Zhao Li's unwilling words, it decided to add more fuel to the fire. It shook its head and said,
"That's not the case. After I broke the Secret of the Dou Di and achieved Dou Di by using the last wisp of Origin Qi in the world, I also began to investigate the reason why there haven't been any more Dou Di for Ten Thousand Years. I discovered that Ten Thousand Years before me, although there were many Dou Di, the Origin Qi had not decreased."
This was the same information Ye Yunsheng had obtained from the Dragon Emperor Inheritance. With the two pieces of information corroborating each other, Zhao Li was almost certain that a long, long time ago, Origin Qi could indeed regenerate. He just didn't know when the world changed and could no longer transform Origin Qi.
He couldn't wait to ask the Doubt in his heart:
"Did something happen later that caused such a great change in the world? Could it be related to the departure of the Emperors into Chaos that Senior mentioned just now?"
Hearing this, a trace of recollection flashed in Nine Nether's eyes. It was at that time that it discovered the strangeness of this world and wanted to completely occupy it. Unfortunately, it underestimated the methods of those Dou Di in this world.
After a long silence, it withdrew its thoughts and continued to deceive, but this time, it would tell its own story from the perspective of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor:
"That's right, it should be related to them! After I Became Emperor, I traveled throughout the Continent and discovered from many Ruins that tens of thousands of years ago, the Dou Qi Continent had foreign enemies, and they fought for an unknown number of years.
Of course, we won in the end, but from the fragmented records, it seems there is an even larger force behind those foreign enemies!
I suspect that the Emperors' journey to Chaos is likely related to this. Perhaps it is precisely because they blocked the enemies outside that we have the peace we enjoy today."
Everything it said was true. After all, it was originally one of the Outer Realm Evil Race and had personally contended with the Dou Qi Continent for so long, so it naturally knew about that period.
"Tuoshe, Tuoshe, it's a good thing you appeared out of nowhere and didn't have Time to grow, otherwise it would be hard to say."
If Tuoshe Ancient Emperor hadn't been so mysterious, it would have been difficult to impersonate him. Fortunately, he didn't have much Time to make a name for himself, so he didn't leave behind any legends.
How could Tuoshe Ancient Emperor know these things it was saying? As soon as he was born, he sought it out, or rather, he only Became Emperor to seal it in the first place. How could he have Time to investigate the secrets of the Continent?
Hearing what Nine Nether said, and comparing it with what Ye Yunsheng said, Zhao Li was already certain that what Dragon Emperor Ao Xue said was true. Unfortunately, her era was too long ago, and many changes happened after her Time.
"But what does this have to do with Origin Qi?"
He still didn't understand the connection between these matters and Origin Qi, so he continued to ask his Doubt.
"Kid, I know you're in a hurry, but don't be. Be patient and listen to me slowly."
Nine Nether glanced at Zhao Li sideways, and a faint pressure appeared in the Grand Hall. Zhao Li composed himself and put on a look of lingering fear.
Suddenly knowing so many secrets, especially the ones he felt might involve the real reasons for the current situation, he had forgotten that his current persona should be one of both respect and fear, as well as longing, like seeing a living immortal.
Seeing this, Nine Nether continued:
"After they left, they worried that if foreign enemies attacked the Dou Qi Continent again, there would be no one on the Continent to stop them. To protect the Dou Qi Continent, before entering Chaos, they jointly set up a Grand Formation to hide the Dou Qi Continent. I speculate that the depletion of Origin Qi is related to that Grand Formation."
This was also true, but it didn't mention the other purpose of that Grand Formation.
Hearing Nine Nether mention the Grand Formation, Zhao Li instantly thought of the Formation that encompassed the entire Continent and murmured in his heart:
"As expected, it's related to it. So, it isolated Chaos to protect and hide the Continent?"
At this point, he vaguely sorted out a line of thought. Just like the Wu Dong world, the Dou Qi Continent also suffered attacks from the Outer Realm Evil Race. However, because the First Emperor used some unknown method to shatter the Plane Embryo, it created many Dou Di. Although they were not true Heavenly Supreme, there were many of them. One after another, they eventually repelled the Outer Realm Evil Race.
Of course, they also learned during the battle that they had only repelled a race or branch from outside the realm. To prevent other Outer Realm Evil Race from coming, they set up a Grand Formation to hide their homeland. As for those Dou Di, some died, and those who survived also learned that there were other worlds outside the Dou Qi Continent and went out to explore!
Of course, all of this was Zhao Li's speculation, and it was based on the assumption that the person in front of him was telling the truth.
He didn't notice that while he was deep in thought, in his Sea of Consciousness, some strange black dots were gradually merging with his turbulent Sea of Consciousness.
"Hmph, so what if you have a Heavenly Supreme level Soul? Aren't you still going to become my slave?"
Feeling the Soul Imprint gradually disappearing into Zhao Li's Sea of Consciousness, Nine Nether sneered in its heart. Now, even if its identity was revealed, it wasn't afraid.
Once the Soul Imprint merged with Zhao Li's Soul, it would be like a seed, constantly amplifying Zhao Li's Desire, and then constantly absorbing those Desires to grow. Eventually, it would turn Zhao Li into a slave of Desire, and it would be the master!
"Phew, it's done. A Heavenly Supreme level Soul, Earth Supreme Strength. According to him, this is already the peak Combat Power of this world. Not bad, it's barely enough after escaping."
Nine Nether was already thinking about escaping. Once the Soul Imprint was planted, it didn't need to do anything else, just wait for it to take root, sprout, flower, and bear fruit.
"First, use his Physical Body to recover, and then Devour his Soul Power. With his Heavenly Supreme Soul essence, it's enough for me to recover to Quasi Heavenly Supreme. At that time, won't I be able to do whatever I want on this Continent?"
The more it thought about it, the brighter its eyes became. That despairing heart suddenly came back to life and began to envision the future:
"In the end, I still won. Hehe, as long as I conquer this world, with the special nature of its Plane Embryo, my race will have a continuous stream of Heavenly Supreme. Over Time, perhaps we can become the number one race outside the realm. At that time—"
During the tens of thousands of years of struggle, it discovered the Plane Embryo on the Dou Qi Continent. It could condense masters, and it could condense them without any limit to the number of times!
Although each time, it would become weaker, and the Time to condense the Plane Embryo would be longer, with its infinite lifespan, it could wait!
As long as it seized one Plane Embryo and created a Heavenly Supreme, it would break even. If it could condense twice, that would be a huge profit!
