Chapter 1696: Chapter 1317: Unraveling Mysteries (Not Finished Yet)

“I haven’t reunited with the family to help share the pressure; luckily, there wasn’t a too-dangerous situation, and everyone returned safely.” As he spoke, Li Chengshuo brought up this matter.

This matter made them feel quite guilty, and their return this time was meant to find out about the casualties.

“Have you always stayed with the Divines without separating?” Jiang Fengwu and Li Zhirui exchanged a glance, a sure and grave expression emerging on their faces.

“Yes! What happened?” Li Chengshuo nodded, unable to understand why they asked that.

Jiang Fengwu then recounted their encounter with someone disguising as the two of them, not only without harming the family’s interests but also offering many aids.

“Someone disguised as us and infiltrated the family? But according to mother’s words, what was their purpose in doing this?”

Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu couldn’t answer this question, and the former even mentioned another matter, “Moreover, we suspect that the final strike that caused the collapse and destruction of the Golden Light Realm was done by these two!”

“You mean the sudden explosion of the Sun and Taiyin?”

At the time, everyone was immersed in the joy of victory and the relief after the war, almost no one paid attention to it.

“Yes, after they left, the two great stars suddenly exploded, and from the timeline perspective, it was too coincidental.”

After a pause, Li Zhirui said, “Is it possible that it’s the Ancient Star Gods of the Sun and Taiyin?”

His speculation was not without grounds; like Doumu Lord and Ziwei, these Divines were not newly born at the revival of the Divine Path but awakened from long and ancient times.

If that’s the case, then how is it possible that there are no Divines for such important stars as the Sun and Taiyin?

It might have been some accident that delayed their awakening, by which time Li Chengshuo and Li Chengsheng had been consecrated by the Heavenly Dao, so they never appeared?

As for why they don’t compete with the siblings for power and prefer to remain hidden, unknown, Li Zhirui couldn’t fathom the reason.

Perhaps there’s some larger plot and scheme?

“This…”

The three present were astonished by this speculation, but upon careful thought, it wasn’t impossible; otherwise, many things wouldn’t make sense.

“If that’s really the case, then after you return, it’s best to ask the Heavenly Emperor; he should know something.” Jiang Fengwu finally said after a good pause.

Actually, the best person to inquire would be Doumu Lord, but she has transcended, leaving the Primal Spirit Realm.

“I’ll remember!”

Upon saying this, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo couldn’t sit still, eager to know the truth.

Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu noticed the two’s distracted state and suggested they go back first and inform them once they figure out what’s going on.

“Father, Mother, we’ll head back then.”

Originally, they planned to stay longer and spend time with the two family members. After all, they were in seclusion to breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, unsure how long it would take to succeed, but unexpectedly, such a major event occurred.

“Go on.”

Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu watched them leave, hoping this matter would be resolved quickly to avoid delaying their cultivation.

On the way back to the starry sky, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo remained silent and did not go to their own Divine Domain, but directly headed to the Heavenly Court to meet the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei.

The two didn’t have to wait long before being brought in.

“Two Star Lords suddenly visiting, did something major occur?” Ziwei asked curiously, knowing their personalities; they wouldn’t visit if it wasn’t important.

“May I ask Your Majesty, are there Ancient Star Gods in the two stars, the Sun and Taiyin?”

After Li Chengsheng spoke, the siblings stared intensely at him.

Ziwei seemed surprised he would ask that, with a hint of astonishment showing on his face, saying, “How did you learn about this matter?”

This answer already revealed everything, indeed confirming the existence of two Ancient Star Gods.

“But you don’t need to worry; the two Star Lords, Taiyang and Xuan Xi, are no longer in the Primal Spirit Realm. They, like the mother, have completed their cause and effect and transcended beyond this realm.”

Ziwei explained, “Since their awakening, these two Star Lords didn’t intend to receive the Heavenly Dao’s consecration again, as they had thought of transcending this realm back in Ancient Times, but unfortunately failed.”

“So when they woke up and found themselves not too entangled with the cause and effect of the Primal Spirit Realm, they considered this a great opportunity, thus constantly resisting the return to the Divine Position, until you two appeared and consecutively became the Moon God and Sun God.”

“However, there were some deviations in their initial plans! After you became Star Lords, it was like a layer of seal keeping them trapped in the deepest parts of the Sun and Taiyin.”

“Nevertheless, they never considered competing with you for power to gain freedom, instead waiting patiently for the right opportunity.”

After all, for them, hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of years are not long; they have the patience to wait.

Then didn’t expect within a few thousand years that Doumu Lord would discover an Outer World and intend to use it as an opportunity for transcendence.

Taiyang and Xuan Xi immediately realized this was the chance they had waited for, so they made a deal with the Heavenly Dao, agreeing to shatter the Otherworld’s Sun and Taiyin, significantly contributing to the Primal Spirit Realm’s victory, in exchange for severing the remaining cause and effect.

Ziwei had not mentioned it before because the two Ancient Star Gods asked them to keep it confidential to avoid getting unwittingly involved in cause and effect.
