God Sovereign Night Breeze’s aura suddenly trembled, and he awoke from his state of enlightenment.

“Old fellow, how do you feel?” Zhu Tian asked with a smile. He naturally knew how remarkable the Clear Sky Enlightenment Tea was.

God Sovereign Night Breeze’s eyes gradually regained their clarity, “It has surpassed a century of painstaking cultivation.”

His enlightenment had lasted less than ten minutes, yet it had yielded more than a century’s worth of cultivation. The effects of the Clear Sky Enlightenment Tea were truly astonishing.

Zhu Tian smiled, “It’s only the first cup that has such an effect. The benefits diminish with each subsequent cup.”

God Sovereign Night Breeze snorted, “A well-fed man knows nothing of a starving man’s hunger. Speak. What do you want from me?”

Zhu Tian smiled, “I’ve already learned most of what I need from Qingxuan, but I still have a few questions.”

God Sovereign Night Breeze readily agreed, “For the sake of the Clear Sky Enlightenment Tea, I’ll tell you everything I know.”

Zhu Tian’s expression carried a hint of curiosity, “It concerns the small world where Lin Moyu came from.”

God Sovereign Night Breeze’s expression changed abruptly.

Seeing his reaction, Zhu Tian immediately realized that something was wrong.

After his expression shifted several times, God Sovereign Night Breeze said calmly, “Qingxuan, pour the tea.”

Gu Qingxuan obediently poured tea for both of them.

God Sovereign Night Breeze then tapped the table lightly. A faint ripple of law spread outward, enveloping both him and Zhu Tian.

Not a single word they spoke could be heard by anyone else—not even Gu Qingxuan, who was only a short distance away.

Realizing the gravity of the matter, Zhu Tian’s expression also became solemn.

For something to make God Sovereign Night Breeze act with such caution, it was clearly no ordinary matter.

God Sovereign Night Breeze gently lifted his teacup. Yet, unlike his steady hand, his voice sounded somewhat subdued.

“Do you know that, about four thousand years ago, people emerged from a certain small world?”

A trace of confusion flashed across Zhu Tian’s eyes. The Vermilion Bird Starfield was vast and contained countless small worlds. People emerged from small worlds every day, so how could he possibly remember one particular incident?

However, given God Sovereign Night Breeze’s solemn reaction, it was obviously no ordinary occurrence.

Zhu Tian suddenly thought of something, “Are you talking about that incident?”

God Sovereign Night Breeze nodded, “That’s right. At the time, almost everyone in that small world left and entered the greater world.”

“Normally, once all the living beings in a small world leave, it will face one of two fates. Either it breaks out of its shell, endures the baptism of the greater world, and transforms into a planet, becoming part of a star system…”

“Or it sinks into deathly silence and perishes in the womb.”

Living beings were the foundation of a small world. Once all the inhabitants within it disappeared—whether they had left or perished—the small world would inevitably face one of two outcomes.

It could break free of its shell and merge into the greater world.

However, what a lifeless small world would ultimately become after merging with the greater world was difficult to predict.

Alternatively, it could lose all vitality and perish in the womb, never even receiving the chance to break free.

Zhu Tian had heard about that incident back then. Every living being in that small world had emerged, leaving virtually no one behind.

But to someone of his realm, such an occurrence was insignificant, so he had not paid much attention to it.

God Sovereign Night Breeze continued, “But that small world underwent a third kind of transformation. It neither broke out of its shell nor perished in the womb. Instead, it gave birth to a second wave of life.”

Zhu Tian’s brow furrowed, “How could that be?”

Such an outcome completely contradicted everything he knew. It defied the fundamental rules governing the greater world.

God Sovereign Night Breeze explained, “When those people emerged back then, they forcibly took the true spirit imprints contained within the small world’s origin with them. That act severely damaged the small world’s foundation.”

“A small world with a damaged origin that had also lost all its living beings and vitality should have perished in the womb.”

“Yet somehow, it managed to nurture a second wave of life. Don’t you find that strange?”

A possibility crossed Zhu Tian’s mind, and he shuddered despite himself.

God Sovereign Night Breeze noticed Zhu Tian’s startled expression and said, “You guessed right. An unequaled powerhouse took action.”

Zhu Tian gasped, “Unequaled powerhouses rarely act so easily. For the sake of a mere small world, was it really worth it?”

God Sovereign Night Breeze said, “I looked into the matter as well. There is something inside that small world.”

“Something? What is it?!” Zhu Tian asked hastily.

Something capable of drawing the attention of an unequaled powerhouse was certainly no ordinary object. It had to be extraordinarily important.

Rather than answering directly, God Sovereign Night Breeze continued, “Later, I discovered something else. There was more than one unequaled powerhouse involved in this matter.”

“There were at least three, perhaps even more.”

“Once I learned that, I didn’t dare investigate any further. I feared that digging too deeply might anger an unequaled powerhouse and bring about my own doom.”

Zhu Tian’s hand trembled slightly around his teacup.

Unequaled powerhouses—what kind of existences were they?

Even he could only look up to them…

Why would a small world attract the attention of so many unequaled powerhouses? It was completely baffling.

No wonder God Sovereign Night Breeze had not dared to continue his investigation. Had Zhu Tian been in his place, he would not have dared, either.

Observing Zhu Tian’s expression, God Sovereign Night Breeze gave a faint smile, “I halted my investigation and no longer dared to peer into that small world. I only cast an occasional glance at it.”

“About two thousand years ago, I noticed a few interesting developments. The Dreadbeasts and the Zerg both sent people into that small world. Later, the Demons, a branch of the Elemental Dragons, and the Bloodkind entered as well.”

“Besides them, a Star Tree also seemed to have sent a soul clone inside to investigate.”

Zhu Tian asked in surprise, “How were they able to get in?”

God Sovereign Night Breeze laughed heartily, “It seems you really are getting old and have already forgotten what I just told you. Four thousand years ago, after that group left the small world, they took the true spirit imprints with them, severely damaging the small world’s origin.”

“Moreover, their forced departure opened several incomplete spatial channels between the small world and the greater world.

“That gave those guys an opportunity to take advantage of.”

Through God Sovereign Night Breeze’s explanation, Zhu Tian finally understood.

He now realized why this old fellow had gone to pick up Lin Moyu. It had not been due to Gu Qingxuan’s persuasion at all; he had wanted to go himself.

Otherwise, it would have been practically impossible for an exalted God Sovereign to personally escort a young fellow who had just emerged from a small world.

Zhu Tian said gravely, “It seems Lin Moyu has actually been under the watch of unequaled powerhouses for a long time.”

God Sovereign Night Breeze shook his head, “What level of existence are they? How could they possibly care about a young kid? Although Lin Moyu possesses exceptional talent, he likely hasn’t caught their attention yet. On the other hand, why did you suddenly come to ask me about Lin Moyu?”

Zhu Tian replied, “Lin Moyu’s talent might exceed even your imagination. I intend to recommend him to the City Lord.”

This time, God Sovereign Night Breeze was taken aback, “You want Lin Moyu to become the City Lord’s disciple?”

Zhu Tian nodded, “That is indeed my intention.”

God Sovereign Night Breeze pondered for a moment before saying, “It’s worth a try.”

The fact that God City’s City Lord wanted to take a disciple was no secret among the upper echelons of the human race.

Many were searching for geniuses to recommend to the City Lord.

Lin Moyu hailed from a small world, had a clean background, and possessed outstanding talent. He was indeed a strong candidate.

However, whether he could ultimately succeed would depend on his own fortune.
