"Who are you?" Hua Linglong was the first to ask.

Song Yan asked, "Who are you?"

Hua Linglong replied, "If you are Song Yan, then I am Hua Linglong; if you are the Master of Heaven and Earth, then I am the Celestial Venerable. However, you shouldn't be the Master of Heaven and Earth, otherwise... at this moment, you shouldn't be questioning who I am but should be ecstatically capturing me."

'Celestial Venerable, huh?'

Upon seeing Hua Linglong and hearing these words, Song Yan immediately understood many things.

Who could have thought that in the Snake Corpse Market of the small land of the Ancient Three Kingdoms, the "Divine Thought" of the true Celestial Venerable was hidden, and who could have imagined that this "Divine Thought" was not suppressed by the Master of Heaven and Earth, but rather found a sliver of possibility in the impossible, evaded heavenly fate, and appeared here?

Even if Song Yan didn't know the details, he could completely guess just how complex, terrifying, wonderful, and life-threatening the battles and games this Celestial Venerable had experienced were, in order to survive.

This Celestial Venerable should be the pinnacle of ancient times, a true peerless genius in this era.

The Master of Heaven and Earth said she was a reincarnation of a strand of his Divine Soul, but truth and falsehood, no one could discern.

The Celestial Venerable retracted her gaze and said, "All my understanding of you comes from Hua Linglong and Vilampu, they have become a part of me. You can completely regard me as a grown-up Hua Linglong.

In the past, I didn't like white, but now... I have come to like it.

My heart was withered in the past, but now it revives with vitality.

Thanks to them, my rebirth is tied with many indelible causes and effects between you and me, filled with love-hate entanglements and numerous memories.

The fact that you can appear here already allows me to fully imagine the complex and winding yet extremely splendid path you have traveled."

Song Yan said, "Likewise."

Celestial Venerable said, "You also want to explore the secret to going to the next world, right?"

Song Yan briefly said, "Yes."

The Celestial Venerable looked into the distant darkness and said, "There lies the Elemental Gold of the Netherworld refined by the Master of Heaven and Earth, the Plague Gold 'Jalayosa.'

Without waiting for Song Yan to inquire.

The Celestial Venerable continued, "Though the era I lived in was not as bad as yours, it was indeed a dark age where True Spirits were extinct. I tried every possible way to escape from the Void.

Upon realizing that the Void was exceedingly distant, with a journey full of danger and uncertainty, I temporarily shifted my focus to exploring the nearby Void Ruins.

In that ruin, I encountered the Earth element of the Five Elements of the Underworld, 'Pumi Senghe Luo.'

I know that the Five Elements of the Underworld only appear in apocalyptic worlds.

But I do not know the origin of the Five Elements of the Underworld.

Pumi Senghe Luo was not interested in me, and it was leaving the ruins.

Curious, I followed it, and then... I saw an unbelievable scene, the significance of which I didn't understand at the time, but now I understand through the actions of the Master of Heaven and Earth."

The Celestial Venerable closed her eyes slightly, then said, "I can only vaguely see a black dragon corpse that devours all light, exuding countless Evil Thoughts and the Netherworld's Qi, which Pumi Senghe Luo was flying towards.

It was an existence beyond my comprehension; just a glance made me feel as though my Divine Soul was nearly obliterated.

I cannot delve into its true nature, but I can infer its information based on some clues."

"First, whether or not it possesses consciousness, it is the culprit who destroyed the nearby world;

Second, it is the mother, master, or elder of the Five Elements of the Underworld. It sows them in a flourishing world, and when the apocalypse arrives, the Five Elements of the Underworld complete the nutrient absorption and then return to it;

Third, it must have blocked all the escape routes of our world, leaving us... to await our doom helplessly, even the Master of Heaven and Earth is powerless."

Song Yan asked, "How did you arrive at your third conclusion?"

The Celestial Venerable replied, "Firstly, the Master of Heaven and Earth is desperately looking for avatars, suggesting that his true form is likely incapacitated, otherwise there'd be no need for such intrigue to suppress us by a great Realm;

Secondly, is the... Jalayosa at the end of this Sword Village."

After saying this, the Celestial Venerable slightly waved her hand, the distant darkness ebbed like a tide, revealing its appearance.

It was a long, metallic pillar embossed with numerous human faces.

Every human face appeared extremely manic, whispering incessantly.

The Celestial Venerable said, "At the end of the Heart Demon Sword Prison originally resided a top-tier creature from the Rotting Thought Layer, the Thousand Throats Sword Mother. This Sword Mother was a large mass of flesh fused from completely demonized Sword Cultivators.

The Master of Heaven and Earth refined Jalayosa, merging it with the Thousand Throats Sword Mother, thereby using the power of the Thousand Throats Sword Mother to attract all the powerful Sword Cultivators in this world, who all come here, become demonized, and become part of Jalayosa, making this Elemental Gold of the Netherworld incredibly powerful.

The mighty Jalayosa continues to exert the enchantment of the Thousand Throats Sword Mother, ceaselessly attracting Sword Cultivators...

As for the Sword Dao River... it has dried up, ensuring that every Cultivator stepping into Sword Village eventually arrives here.

I guess the Master of Heaven and Earth's final intention is merging his avatar with Jalayosa, attempting to survive in this apocalyptic world and then... find a way to escape when returning to the dark giant corpse afterward."

As she spoke, she slowly shook her head and said, "Maybe the Master of Heaven and Earth has an even better idea, after all, his Realm is higher, and he sees more."
