Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System-Chapter 776 - 364: The heavens allow, but I do not! Today, annihilate the clan, slay the sovereign!_2
At that time, Su Tu became suspicious of his ’uncle’.
After all, there were too many doubts surrounding this Supreme being.
Now it seems, without a doubt, that the great figure, for whom others made choices, was indeed his ’uncle’.
As for the choice’s outcome..
The Master of Soldiers, having breathed a sigh of relief, already provided an answer. Su Tu was not important to him, but Su Tu dying in an ’accident’ seemed very significant to the Master of Soldiers...
"Master of Soldiers?"
Su Tu coldly spat out two words. He still wanted to confirm once more.
The old man said nothing, merely glanced at Su Tu and took another puff of smoke.
In that moment of eye contact, everything was seemingly understood without words. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
The King of Heart Ruins and the Supreme of the Human Race colluding together, if such news spread, the entire Star River would be shocked.
The myriad of races might even unite to attack the Human Race. If not for Su Tu hearing this now and using Candle Wisdom to confirm the old man wasn’t lying, even he himself might not believe it.
Even though Su Tu once speculated that his ’uncle’ had issues, he never imagined he would collude with the Heart Ruins.
The Heart Ruins are invaders aiming to conquer the Star River, a foreign race with only one goal: to completely occupy it.
And some Heart Ruins transformed into beasts, holding mortal grudges with the Human Race in their veins. Beasts eat humans on sight, and humans kill beasts on sight.
This is a natural enmity, a destined rivalry!!
From the perspective of the myriad races of the Star River, or even the Human Race itself, the Master of Soldiers should not and cannot have any connection with beasts or the ’world light’ of the Heart Ruins.
This isn’t just being a traitor to humanity; it’s being a traitor to the universe!
Thinking of this, Su Tu’s brow furrowed deeply. He never imagined that under the Heaven-Reaching Gate, such an existence would appear, truly a living stain.
"Though it was the world light who did it, he only pierced through what that great figure wanted to do but didn’t dare. He merely made the choice for him."
"Ultimately, whether the world light made the choice for him or he wanted the world light to do it, no one can be sure.
But this is the truth of the airship explosion."
The old man put away his snuff bottle and looked at Su Tu.
The Eye of Cause and Effect appeared, and Su Tu once again confirmed that this old man wasn’t lying.
The Master of Soldiers, the world light... Two truly great figures, their mere names capable of overwhelming countless existences.
The Supreme of the Human Race, the King of Heart Ruins left in this world.
And they are Su Tu’s enemies, the same ones who made Su Tu ’die’ once before.
At this moment, facing these two names, Su Tu didn’t feel fear but an indescribable excitement and killing intent.
The airship explosion, that blood debt, finally has a debtor!!
He maintained his expression and said, "Why do you know so clearly?"
"What role did you play in this process, and why are you connected with Chen Shan?"
The old man looked up at the sky, sighed with the rising smoke.
"The world light said Chen Shan carries a great secret, concerning our race’s origin, so I came to the Celestial City Star in an attempt to approach Chen Shan and cooperate."
"I served him for a hundred years, and he helped our race gain his flesh, avoiding worldly disasters to survive."
"Over the years, I discovered that those red threads on him contained a certain power, though I have never seen it before, it felt extremely familiar, this feeling originating from the Origin."
"I intended to explore it further, but he gifted the Chen Family’s body to us, and before I could return, I received news of his demise."
The old man turned over, standing up from the ground.
"That’s right, we had long been weary of it all, and intended to use this to escape. Whether it’s the world light or Chen Shan, we were merely their tools,
I loathed such a life, wishing these younger ones to live for themselves, not driven by the instincts within them."
"As for the airship explosion, I know of it because the world light once approached me to act, but I refused."
Upon hearing this, Su Tu’s eyes flickered, the red threads on Chen Shan came from the Immortal Robe, belonging to the Immo’s, worn by that one.
And this old man said their Origin felt familiar to that power, meaning.. the Heart Ruins are related to the Immortals?
If that’s the case, then there might be a massive secret capable of shaking everything behind this!!!
Surprised waves surged in Su Tu’s heart, yet his face remained unchanged, he spoke.
"Can you refuse the ’King’s’ orders?"
"At that time, I was still of use, if it were now..." The old man’s words trailed off, a self-mocking smile appearing on his face.
Su Tu understood his implication, Chen Shan was still around then, so he was useful. He refused, and that was that, but now, with Chen Shan fallen, the red threads gone.
If the scene were replayed now, likely none of this old man’s entire race would survive.
This old guy continuously proclaimed he didn’t want to see the younger generation driven by instincts, but now it seems a large part was likely to prevent the world light from settling accounts after the fact.
"One last question."
"’Beasts’ is merely how humans labeled you, and your true identity is the foreign Heart Ruins. But all races have forgotten this, why!!"
"How did you become ’beasts’, how did you stay in the Star River, how did you alter the memory of all races?"
Su Tu finally asked the question he was most curious about.
"This question alone, I cannot answer you."
The old man spoke without the slightest hesitation: "If I say anything about this, not only I but also these children would be annihilated.
Even our entire Heart Ruins race would be doomed."
"Leave, Su Tu, you know more than enough. In this Star River now, only a handful of people know the connection between beasts and Heart Ruins.
