Devouring the Starry Sky: Eclipse Palace Master

Chapter 115 Shocking Secrets
"what?!"

The hermit, who originally had a amiable smile on his face, was suddenly struck by lightning. His smile froze instantly, and was replaced by a look of complete shock.

His body, which was originally sitting relaxedly, suddenly straightened up and stood up with a "swoosh", as if he was catapulted up by an invisible force.

The expression that was originally as gentle as the warm spring sun now seemed to be covered by dark clouds and instantly shrouded by strong murderous intent. The eyes seemed to be able to turn into a sharp blade, which was frightening.

After being exposed by the ancestor of the Sky Eclipse and his most important secret that he had hidden for many years, the hermit's instinctive reaction was to completely wipe out the person in front of him to prevent future troubles.

The moment this thought came to his mind, his body even leaned forward slightly, as if he was about to pounce and deliver a fatal blow in the next moment.

However, just a moment later, he forcibly suppressed the impulse and his thoughts began to run as fast as lightning.

He instantly realized that the one who was here at the moment was just a clone of his own divine power, which had no fighting power at all, just like a beast that had lost its claws.

What's more, this is the home ground of the Sky Eclipse Ancestor. Even if his real body was present at this moment, it would be difficult for him to compete with the Sky Eclipse Ancestor.

After all, Zuo Shanke was once a god-king-level being. His mental fortitude and quick thinking far exceeded those of ordinary people. In just a split second, he figured out the key to the matter.

He knew very well that being angry at this moment would do nothing but expose his own misconduct.

Thus, the murderous intent that had just been raging on his face like a surging wave seemed to be gently wiped away by an invisible giant hand, and the hermit's expression quickly returned to calm, but the slightly trembling fingers still revealed the waves in his heart that had not yet completely subsided.

"Ancestor Tianshi, how did you know my true identity? Moreover, how were you able to reveal my identity under the close surveillance of the original consciousness of the original universe?" The hermit's voice sounded relatively calm, but the slightly rising and falling tone betrayed that his heart was still as turbulent as the sea.

His heart was full of doubts at this moment, and he urgently needed an answer from the Ancestor of Tianshi.

……

The hermit's reaction was within Li Yang's expectations, so Li Yang was not in a hurry and waited quietly for the hermit to calm down on his own.

After the hermit's expression gradually stabilized, Li Yang responded slowly: "Hermit, I know you are extremely anxious at the moment, but don't worry."

As he spoke, Li Yang slowly reached out his hand to pick up the wine glass and took a sip. His movements were graceful and calm. He then continued, "As you can see, my Star Universe is the only treasure in this universe. Here, you can completely block the perception of the original universe. Not to mention calling out your title of the God King of Jin, even if you mention the reincarnation and all the information about the origin continent, you can speak freely without any interference."

Li Yang's face showed a confident expression that everything was under control, which formed a sharp contrast with the hermit's face that was still slightly shocked.

"There is such a powerful treasure!" The hermit couldn't help but sigh, with a hint of amazement in his voice that was hard to conceal.

"I know that you, Zuo Shanke, were once the God King of Jin, and you have extremely profound attainments in refining treasures. In your opinion, what level of treasure should my star universe be?" Li Yang asked a question with a smile, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

During the conversation at this time, Li Yang had more information and was in firm control of the situation.

The hermit narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his senses, and carefully sensed his surroundings, as if he wanted to see through the mysteries of the starry universe.

After a moment, he slowly shook his head, a trace of confusion on his face: "I have never seen a treasure so powerful that can block the perception of the original universe's origin consciousness. I think the level of this treasure has already exceeded the scope of the God King-level treasure."

Li Yang nodded slightly, with a hint of approval on his face: "Not bad." Then, the corners of his mouth rose, and his smile became even wider: "God King of Jin, I not only know your identity, but also the purpose of your coming to this universe sea."

Feeling that Li Yang had no ill intentions, the hermit regained his composure. He smiled, but there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "Why not tell me about it?"

"The news I got from the Origin Continent told me that the Kingdom of Jin of the God King of Jin was destroyed by the three rulers of the Food Kingdom. If I'm not mistaken, you took a huge risk to come to this cosmic sea in order to find a suitable helper to help you with your revenge! Am I right?" Although Li Yang's tone was inquiring, his confident look clearly showed that he was certain that what he said was true.

Seeing how confident the Tianshi Ancestor was, the former God King of Jin, now a hermit, found it difficult to deny his words.

Li Yang continued, "You also know how difficult it is to find a strong person who can help you fight against the Food Nation in this universe. How long do you plan to spend? One reincarnation era? Ten reincarnation eras? Or a hundred reincarnation eras? And, if I'm not mistaken, you can only stay in this universe for three reincarnation eras, right?"

Listening to Li Yang's words, the hermit fell into deep silence. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes flashed with complex light. He seemed to be thinking about how to deal with the situation, and seemed to be weighing the pros and cons of Li Yang's words.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Ancestor Tianxie, since you know so much about my affairs, then what is the purpose of you telling me all this today?"

Li Yang put down his wine glass and crossed his arms over his chest: "Zuo Shan Ke, I have no ill intentions. I just want to say that maybe we can cooperate. You want revenge, and my goal is to develop our human race even stronger, until we dominate the universe sea and even the origin continent! In this vast universe sea, our own strength is too small. Only by working together can we achieve our wishes."

The hermit sneered: "Cooperation? Why do you think I will trust you? What can you bring to me?"

Li Yang stood up slowly, his steady figure was particularly eye-catching in this quiet space.

He walked slowly to the table with leisurely steps. In the void, the splendid and mysterious starry universe came into view, as if an endless painting was slowly unfolding before him.

The stars twinkle and the lights interweave, as if telling the endless mysteries in the depths of the universe.

Li Yang raised his head slightly, gazing deeply at the vastness, then turned around and faced the hermit. His voice was calm but revealed an unquestionable power: "I can give you great help. It is no exaggeration to say that I may be the most powerful helper you can find in this vast universe."

"Not only that, I can also provide you with some precious resources that even a knowledgeable person like you who was once a God King has never known, and even help you to advance to the God King realm."

"And all I expect in return is that during these three long years of reincarnation, you use your wisdom and strength to cultivate more outstanding strong men for my human race."

After he finished speaking, a spherical object emitting a strange light quietly emerged from Li Yang's empty hand.

It is like a pearl that condenses the essence of the universe, quietly floating above Li Yang's palm. Although the light is not dazzling, it has a depth and mystery that cannot be ignored.

Zuo Shanke, a powerful man who once stood on the throne of God King and overlooked countless worlds, has a broad vision and experience that ordinary people cannot achieve.

During his long life, he has seen countless rare treasures and experienced various amazing wonders of the universe.

However, the small ball in Li Yang's hand at this moment was still like a thunderclap, exploding in his heart, causing huge waves in his originally calm mood.
