I have the best bloodline

"My lord, if you do things this way, you are very likely to offend your elder sister, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. In that case, your punishment may not be confinement."

"Everything is already set in stone, so why not just forget about the past?"

"I'm happy to be free and easy, but Bai Ze wants to lend a hand, and the little guy is quite serious about it, so I'll just go with him." Ruonv sighed and said, "I'll do my best in everything, and whether things succeed or fail is not my concern."

"Sister, she probably won't make a move."

Upon hearing this, Ling Lun shifted his gaze to Su Yan and said, "Judging from your expression, you don't seem to know much about the Nine Nether Emperor?"

"Ling Lun!"

Ruonv spoke, emphasizing her words, clearly indicating that she should say less, as it was unimportant.

"I apologize, it was Linglun who misspoke." Lianlun stood up from the center of the pool and stepped out of the Weak Water using the power of space. "Since the Great Emperor says it's alright, then Linglun will not interfere further. A portion of the power of Bai Ze is indeed in my hands, but that power was inherited by Linglun from the Great Emperor's legacy."

"I need to see your heart so that I can be sure I can entrust my strength to you."

"Bai Ze's power will ultimately belong to Bai Ze. This development is the natural order. As a thief, I don't care whether you are Bai Ze's successor or not, nor do I care whether Bai Ze has told you anything."

"The power that exists here was entrusted to me by the Great Emperor before his death, and I have the power to control it."

Although Ling Lun's voice was gentle and clear, her words were full of refusal. Clearly, she did not want to hand over Bai Ze's power to Su Yan.

That power does indeed belong to Bai Ze, but Bai Ze's power is no longer limited to Bai Ze.

In the upheaval of the world, Bai Ze plays a very important role, and Ruonv leading Su Yan here to take away Bai Ze's power is clearly causing trouble for the Netherworld.

This might displease the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, and the Nine Netherworld Maiden might also be punished as a result.

Therefore, Ling Lun refused to hand over the inheritance, even when Jiu You Su Nu personally asked him to.

"Senior, please take a break for now." Su Yan saw Ling Lun walking towards him and immediately asked Ling Lun to suspend the trial. Then he grabbed Ruo Nu's arm and quickly left the edge of the pool in the mine.

Su Yan pulled Ruonv back to the front of the hut, which startled Yu'er Shen so much that she quickly jumped down and flew behind Ling Lun, afraid that she might overhear some secret and attract the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden to descend and punish her as well.

"senior!"

Su Yan looked at Ruonv with a serious expression and asked, "I think you may have something to say to me, or I may have something to report back to Senior Bai Ze in the cultivation world."

"There's no need to go to such lengths to find out what you want to know. It's nothing more than the lineage relationship between my elder sister, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, and Bai Ze, isn't it?"

“Indeed, as you have heard, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is the current Netherworld Goddess,” Ruonv said.

"It's not about Senior Sister, it's about you." Su Yan spoke directly, interrupting Senior Ruonv's words, and looked at Senior Ruonv solemnly to ask her question.

Su Yan naturally wanted to know about the deeds of the Netherworld Goddess Ruonv, the former Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden who is now the boss of the Netherworld. However, he was more concerned about what Ling Lun had just said.

The Holy Mother of the Nine Netherworld Primordial Goddess, one of the original clans of the human race, is currently under the punishment of being confined by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady. If she dares to interfere with or meddle in the actions of the Netherworld again, she may face even more severe or dangerous punishment.

In the Immortal Realm, based on what Su Yan has seen and heard so far, the word 'dangerous' is basically equivalent to an ordinary cultivator undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation, a situation where nine out of ten will die.

"My? What could possibly be wrong with me? It's just that Linglun is exaggerating," Ruonv said slowly, waving her hand to indicate to Su Yan not to take Linglun's words to heart: "Linglun once served as a high-ranking official in the country, and he habitually exaggerates in his words and sentences. The matter is not that exaggerated."

"Fine!"

Su Yan looked at Ruonv with suspicion, nodded with some doubt, and said, "Then I'll go ask Senior Linglun what exactly happened. She should be very willing to explain the whole story to me in detail."

"Snapped--"

The instant Su Yan turned around, Senior Ruonv raised her hand and patted Su Yan's shoulder, pinching him tightly. She sighed softly and said, "Never mind, never mind."

As Su Yan's understanding of the Immortal Realm deepened and he became more aware of the things around him, some confusion that he himself had never felt arose in his heart.

Choosing to stand with Bai Ze, it was obvious that Su Yan would seek the answers to his questions. However, Ruonv did not expect that Su Yan would use her as a starting point to begin searching for the answers to the questions that troubled her heart.

Moreover, he was indeed threatened. Whether he chose to return to the cultivation world to find Bai Ze or to find Ling Lun, on the premise of giving up Bai Ze's power, Su Yan could get their answers and explanations.

"Let's talk on the fairy ship!"

Ruonv opened a spatial portal, leading Su Yan back to the immortal ship. She casually set up a barrier to block any possibility of prying eyes, sat down in a chair, took out the snail-shaped wine pot, and said:

Before I answer your question, let me reiterate that Linglun's words were exaggerated. My elder sister won't do anything to me; at most, she'll just change my confinement to being locked in the woodshed.

"And the doubts in your heart now, as well as all the reasonable and unreasonable phenomena and trends in the region you are seeing now, are actually closely related to that person, the Youchao Clan we talk about, and the Lord of Heaven you speak of."

"The way of heaven?"

Upon hearing the term "Heavenly Dao," Su Yan paused slightly, a look of confusion on his face.

The term "the Way of Heaven" is not uncommon. The so-called Way of Heaven refers to the rules and principles of all things. All the natural evolution of the world can be summarized in the meaning of the term "the Way of Heaven".

The education Su Yan received in the cultivation world defined the Heavenly Dao, or the laws of heaven and earth, as utmost impartiality. In the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, no matter how noble a being is, its value is the same as that of an ant in the grass. The Heavenly Dao means an impartial and emotionless law without any will.

Does the law of heaven and earth desire for the world to become desolate?

Instead of explaining her confusion to Su Yan, Ruonu raised her hand and pinched Su Yan's mouth shut, saying, "Everything actually started before we were born. One day, Youchao found my mother, Nuwa, and told her that the world was too desolate and cold, hoping that Nuwa could help accelerate the evolution of the world's rules to perfection."

"After much contemplation, Nuwa used herself as an experimental subject to create Nuwa's intestines. She then used Nuwa's intestines as a model to enlighten the human race. However, after seeing the human race, Youchao did not speak and did not mention the desolation of the world again."

"Wa Huang sensed Youchao's dissatisfaction and believed that the beings she had inspired were not perfect. She then prepared to use acquired means to improve the human race and created a special substance called the Stone of Mending the Sky. However, Youchao intervened to stop Wa Huang and simply let everything take its natural course."

"No one knew what it was thinking until a long, long time later, Youchao summoned Yinglong, Jiutian Xuannv, myself, Feng Hou, and Bai Ze, asking us to help a human prodigy overcome his initial difficulties in a tactful way. We gathered our relatives, friends, and fellow Daoists to brainstorm and assist him and his country."

"You should know him too, his name is Huangdi." Ruonv looked at Su Yan and introduced him: "Jiutian Xuannv taught martial arts, while I created the Dual Cultivation Method to make the originally boring cultivation method interesting. Feng Hou taught him how to deploy troops and formations. Yinglong just ran to Huangdi's side to freeload. Whenever Huangdi was in danger, he would kick out and kill those troublemakers."

"Under the tutelage of us masters, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and in the end, Bai Ze used his innate supernatural powers to help him transform into a Holy Spirit."

"The matter was completely over, and we got to know each other with the Yellow Emperor as the center. Although the matter was over, our friendship did not end there. We often gathered in the wilderness palace to study music and discuss the affairs of the world, living a very carefree life."

"?"

Su Yan listened with a stunned expression, and slowly said, "According to what you said, Ancestor Yinglong and Senior Jiutian Xuannv should be very close. So why does the Dragon Clan keep saying that Jiutian Xuannv attacked and assassinated Ancestor Yinglong, leading to the Four Dragon Gods attacking the divine race under Xuannv's command and herself?"

Ruonv paused for a moment and said, "Yinglong's death is indeed related to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, but we haven't gotten to that point yet."

"Continuing our previous topic, we were living a carefree life in the Wilderness Palace for a long time, until one day the Yellow Emperor arrived with a somber expression and told us that Youchao had found him and the Yan Emperor, hoping that they would start a great war that would sweep across the world."

"The Yellow Emperor found us and told us that we had chosen to find Youchao to ask him for an explanation. However, this was actually within Youchao's expectations. He ordered the guardians of Hongmeng to take action to eliminate us, so that our deaths would completely disrupt the world and start a great war between heaven and earth."

"In fact, we were all tricked. That guardian of the Primordial Chaos was my elder sister, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. Apart from me, everyone else either died or lived a life worse than death. Thus, the Dragon Clan, my elder sister, and the Phoenix set off the prelude to the great war between heaven and earth, while the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden used this opportunity to fake her death and escape, transforming into the Netherworld."

"The world descended into complete chaos. Humanity established its first kingdom and its first major surname, which then collapsed. The Nightmare Suppression Daoist lineage began to spread across the land. Countless races disappeared in the great war between heaven and earth, but only the human race, relying on their powerful reproductive ability and cultivation talent, grew stronger with each battle."

"At this point, we finally understood that Youchao was not dissatisfied with the human race, nor did he hate the human race, which is why he stopped Nuwa from carrying out the plan to mend the sky. He was very satisfied with the human race and did not need Nuwa's so-called plan to mend the sky to erase the random mutation of the human race."

"As the great war between heaven and earth reached its final stage, some races were completely wiped out, and even the most powerful races suffered heavy losses. At this time, the severing of the earth and the connection between heaven and earth also began silently, and the primordial immortal realm completely collapsed."

Ruonv suddenly smiled and said, "The rationality and irrationality in the Immortal Realm are all due to the deliberate guidance of Youchao. Every day, countless unnatural deaths occur on the earth."

"It was all because Youchao felt that the divine beasts born of heaven and earth had low reproduction efficiency and consumed too much of the resources of heaven and earth during their growth process. Therefore, he decided to remove the divine beasts of heaven and earth from the stage and replace them with some that consumed less resources and reproduced faster to deepen the evolution of the laws."

“You might think that the reason why the Holy Spirits are indifferent to everything in the region is that the normal and friendly people are confined like me. The remaining hypocrites and sycophants are either pretending to be kind and maintaining the status quo so that they can appear as ‘Tianyi’.”

"Either they are trying their best to please Youchao, or they have the Netherworld, the guardian of Hongmeng, and are recklessly aiding and abetting evil on the earth, while claiming that they are letting the creatures of the region know the cruelty of the world."

"However, those hypocrites and sycophants do not know that the naturally born Holy Spirits did not truly die in the chaos of heaven and earth; they were merely scattered into the lost world by Youchao's scheme."

"They, like the people of the Wilderness Palace, were merely pawns in the schemes of Youchao, sacrifices."

Ruonv said calmly, "Once the time limit for the severing of the connection between heaven and earth is reached, and all the races have finished their recuperation, the final selection envisioned by Youchao will begin. All creatures that are not beneficial to the evolution of the world's rules will eventually be eliminated in the most ruthless and fair way."

"The Netherworld was built by the Youchao clan to accelerate this process."

Chapter 579 Senior, why do you know so much?

"The Heavenly Dao is quite considerate! It knows to hold regional competitions so that not everyone dies in droves and all living beings beat their brains into dog brains."

Su Yan sat cross-legged by the pool, remaining silent for a long time to process the past events that Senior Ruonv had mentioned, and secretly muttered a complaint in his heart.

But at this moment, Su Yan felt a chill, just like when he first met the Emperor Wusheng. However, this time the chill he experienced was even more chilling and terrifying.

Although he had never met Youchao, the image of Youchao still appeared in Su Yan's mind. It was like a canopy covering the sky, with countless indifferent eyes watching over all things in the world, and long, black arms gently manipulating the intertwined threads within the canopy.

The truth behind the chaotic war among all races was that it was merely a preliminary selection organized by the Youchao clan. The Great Array of Heaven and Earth in the cultivation world was not a formation that gradually became ineffective over time, but rather a result of the cultivation world having reached a certain peak and thus qualifying for the competition.

The reason given for selecting creatures was simply that the divine beasts born from heaven and earth consumed a lot of resources and had a slow reproduction rate, which was not conducive to the evolution of the rules. Therefore, they were prepared to eliminate creatures that could not survive the second war between all races.

It doesn't really matter who gets eliminated. Youchaoshi is just eliminating those who can't adapt. Whoever is unsuitable will be eliminated.

"The intensity of the second round of the chaotic battle between heaven and earth will far exceed that of the first round. At that time, one in ten beings in the Immortal Realm or other lost worlds will survive." Ruonv said calmly, "It doesn't care at all because the existence of the human race is the safety net for the laws of evolution. The human race can be described as a perfect magical artifact. When their realm is low, their cultivation speed is incredibly fast. However, as their realm increases, their speed becomes so slow that they need various methods to stimulate them."

“The divine beast clans are different. As long as they can obtain enough resources, although their cultivation speed is slow, it can be maintained at a steady pace. Only after reaching the average level of their own clan can they rely on individual efforts.”

"After experiencing failure, Bai Ze has now come to understand some things."

Ruonv looked at Su Yan, shook her head, picked up the wine pot and took a big gulp, not really wanting to recall those unbearable past events.

The root cause of all the turmoil was that Nuwa enlightened Youchao to create the species he desired.

Through the three parties of Huangdi, Yandi, and Chiyou, it was confirmed that the human race had the potential to play a role in evolution, which led to the great war between heaven and earth and the event of severing the connection between heaven and earth.

No Holy Spirit could have foreseen these things; some Holy Spirits even personally acted as the driving force, pushing themselves toward destruction.

Therefore, Ruonv was actually very pessimistic, not only because she was confined to her home, but also because she knew that Youchao was personally pushing things behind the scenes. How could the natural world, which gave birth to and nurtured her, possibly contend with the world that gave birth to and nurtured her?

Su Yan's purpose in coming to the Immortal Realm was never to confront the Youchao Clan, but rather Bai Ze's plan to give all races a chance to survive and avoid extinction.

He himself couldn't do it, so naturally he wouldn't expect Su Yan to do it, and he forcibly entrusted those unrealistic ambitions to the younger generation.

This is also why the pessimistic Ruonv was willing to risk being imprisoned by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden to help Su Yan.

Although the established order cannot be changed, by reaching out, one can avert the possibility of some ethnic groups becoming completely extinct.

"Waaaaah"

Su Yan manifested his fox form, leaped from the edge of the pool directly onto Ruonv's lap, spun around, curled up into a ball, and nestled on his senior's lap.

"It's not to the point where we need comforting yet. After all these years, what can't we let go of? Let's leave this conversation here and not talk about it outside. Some things aren't about knowing more or becoming more knowledgeable; on the contrary, lacking knowledge might get you caught up in someone else's game."

Ruonv raised her hand, gently scratched Su Yan's head, and gave a concluding remark to end the conversation.

"Senior, when your older sister finds out you've been naughty, will she really not hit you?"

"There's no need to worry about those things." Ruonv didn't directly answer Su Yan's question. Her safety was indeed not Su Yan's concern, because Nuwa's intestines were now being used as hostages to coerce the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

"Senior, since you created the original path of dual cultivation in the world, I would like to ask if you have any secret techniques or methods to increase fertility?"

"You want to use me? You've got quite the ambition!" Senior Ruonv teased the little fox with a light laugh.
