Gu Pan wasn't so idle.

He wasn't either.

"Gu Lao, is the birthplace of monsters in Changbai Mountain?" Wang Ye couldn't hold back and asked.

Based on his analysis, he could roughly guess some things: Monsters hadn't appeared in other places; it was only Lei Linger alone suppressing monsters on Changbai Mountain.

Of course, there were others suppressing monsters, but Wang Ye just didn't know them.

However, based on the time Wang Ye spent with Lei Linger, she hadn't mentioned to him that there were monsters in other places, which allowed Wang Ye to deduce some things roughly.

Gu Pan looked at Wang Ye with some surprise and asked incredulously, "How did you know?"

In Gu Pan's view, Wang Ye didn't even know that Earth Star was stronger than Spirit Star in the past, so he should be even less likely to know that the monsters appeared in Changbai Mountain.

"I visited Changbai Mountain a while ago. Although I didn't find anything useful, I did feel a strange aura."

Wang Ye fabricated a lie and wasn't afraid that Gu Pan and the others would go to Changbai Mountain again after learning this.

After all, the relics at Changbai Mountain were now as good as gone.

"Alright."

Gu Pan didn't ask any further; those old-generation Martial Artists like him were well aware of the relics in Changbai Mountain.

Like Gu Pan, who had been to Changbai Mountain more than once and had searched many times to find the ancient relics there, he never succeeded.

Even if Wang Ye really said he found ancient relics in Changbai Mountain, it wouldn't make them feel anything.

If they couldn't find them but Wang Ye did, it meant that it was Wang Ye's luck.

"Later, when Guo Yi was about to go to Spirit Star, he accidentally activated the Mingyue Qi switch on Changbai Mountain a bit. Although it wasn't fully activated, that small crack eventually grew larger, and monsters re-emerged in the world."

Guo Yi!

Wang Ye's eyes lit up when he heard the name "Guo Yi" from Gu Pan's mouth.

It wasn't for anything else; he had also heard the name "Guo Yi" from Lei Linger.

Guo Yi was an unparalleled genius of the previous era, an Earth Star person who ultimately became the ruler of Spirit Star and an invincible presence in this world.

He led the beings of Spirit Star in battle against the former immortals and managed to deal with all of them.

Information about Guo Yi was conveyed to Wang Ye through Mian Xiaoxue's stories.

And the source of Mian Xiaoxue's story was Wang Ye's master, Wang Yifeng.

"Could it be that Guo Yi ultimately died in the process of fighting these monsters?" Wang Ye couldn't help but ask.

After all, if Guo Yi hadn't died, he would probably have resolved these monsters himself, and Lei Linger wouldn't be the one guarding there.

"No."

To Wang Ye's surprise, Gu Pan shook his head upon hearing this.

This made Wang Ye feel puzzled.

In Wang Ye's view, Guo Yi, being an incomparably peerless talent and also a man, would definitely handle problems himself when encountered, directly overcoming the difficulties rather than letting the women by his side take charge.

"Then why..."

Confounded, Wang Ye couldn't help but speak up with his question.

Gu Pan lifted his head to glance at Wang Ye. Although Wang Ye hadn't voiced his question, Gu Pan already knew what Wang Ye wanted to ask, "You must be very curious why Guo Yi didn't personally guard against the monsters, but instead had his woman, Lei Linger, a mere woman, take on the task of guarding them, right?"

As Gu Pan spoke those words, it wasn't just him; the other Martial Warriors present also gave Wang Ye meaningful looks.

Without mentioning anything else, just this statement alone allowed them to surmise that Wang Ye had found the ancient ruins within Changbai Mountain.

Otherwise, Wang Ye couldn't possibly know so much.

Perhaps he even obtained the legacy within Changbai Mountain.

But the few first-class warriors merely sighed at Wang Ye's good fortune, nothing more.

At the same time, the Martial Warriors standing behind Gu Pan also inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much better about Wang Ye's rapid advancement in strength in such a short time.

So it turned out, it was all because Wang Ye discovered ancient ruins.

That meant Wang Ye surely received the legacy, too.

It was because of receiving the legacy that Wang Ye's strength could increase to the realm of a first-class warrior in such a short time; they hadn't received the legacy, which is why they were surpassed by Wang Ye.

They never considered that the old generation of Martial Warriors who lived to this era had actually also benefited from the ancient ruins in their time.

—Excuses.

"Guo Yi himself was about to solve all the monsters on Earth Star and was planning the final monster eradication plan, when a more potent force disrupted Guo Yi's plan," Gu Pan explained.

"Guo Yi had to engage in battle with that more potent force, and Guo Yi's woman, Lei Linger, came to Changbai Mountain to help Guo Yi guard against the monsters while he was away, not expecting that this guardianship would last for countless years and that Guo Yi wouldn't return."

Gu Pan's words eased Wang Ye's mind considerably.

So that's the reason.

Otherwise, Guo Yi's image in Wang Ye's mind would have collapsed completely.

But at the same time, another question rose in Wang Ye's mind.

"A more potent force? But the key issue is, wasn't Wang Yifeng already the strongest existence at that time? Where did an even stronger being come from?"

Wang Ye felt that if it was something Wang Yifeng and Mian Xiaoxue had said, then it definitely wouldn't be wrong.

However, this brought about a contradiction between the presence of a more potent force and the arrival of powerful enemies.

Above Wang Ye's head were three large question marks, and four more words.

"I don't understand."

However, when Wang Ye asked this question, not just Gu Pan, but also all the older generation Martial Warriors behind him showed puzzled expressions on their faces, clearly unaware of the answer.

"We are not very clear about this either, but according to the ancient texts, the aura emitted by the opponent isn't the same as what we normally cultivate; in other words, the opponent might not be from our galaxy," Gu Pan said.
