He paused, then spoke again, "Furthermore, inside Xuanhua's corpse, I detected a Will."
"A Will?" Lu Qing questioned.
Gui Xu Taoist affirmed with a nod, "That Will was exceedingly faint, likely left by Xuanhua just before his demise. It unveiled to me a secret dating back to the ancient era."
Lu Qing felt a surge of spirit and excitement.
The ancient era!
Gui Xu Taoist proceeded slowly, "That Will recounted that in antiquity, a colossal war erupted between the Human Race and the Witch Clan, culminating in a Human Race victory. This should have been a period of respite and recovery, but shortly thereafter, a fissure materialized in the vast expanse of the starry sky."
"A rift?" Lu Qing's heart pounded, a recollection of Qiu Ruofeng's prophecy surfacing in his mind.
Gui Xu Taoist nodded, "That rift served as a connection to another realm.
From this opening, a mysterious and malevolent entity emerged.
These vile beings possessed immense power, and their cultivation methods were fundamentally alien to those in our world.
More critically, they were insatiably cruel and bloodthirsty, exhibiting an immediate urge to consume any living creature they encountered."
His tone deepened with gravity.
"Their ultimate objective was nothing less than the complete devouring of the Origins of each Life Realm."
Lu Qing's pupils contracted subtly.
Devour the World Origin?
Gui Xu Taoist elaborated, "At that time, the monumental powers of the Human Race expended immense effort to completely obliterate the initial wave of these dreadful creatures.
However, even with their success, the starry sky sustained significant damage.
Numerous Life Realms were breached, their origins consumed, leading to their utter annihilation."
"And through a Soul Search performed on the captured evil creatures, those mighty powers unearthed a chilling truth."
"What truth was that?" Lu Qing inquired.
Gui Xu Taoist stated, "Those evil creatures were merely the vanguard.
They hailed from an alien world, whose formidable inhabitants harbored designs upon our starry sky.
It was only a matter of time before more of these malevolent beings arrived to lay waste to everything."
Lu Qing remained in thoughtful silence.
Gui Xu Taoist continued, "Upon receiving this dire intelligence, the preeminent powers of the Human Race convened and ultimately resolved upon a course of action."
"What decision did they make?" Lu Qing asked.
Gui Xu Taoist replied, "They opted for a preemptive strike.
Under no circumstances would they permit the great conflict to unfold within their own starry sky.
Otherwise, even if they ultimately vanquished all invaders, the entire starry sky would be left irrevocably scarred and severely diminished.
Those Life Realms, those mortal beings, would be reduced to nothingness in the aftermath of such a cataclysmic war."
"So, they chose to take the initiative?" Lu Qing sought confirmation.
Gui Xu Taoist nodded, "Indeed. At that juncture, the most potent great powers of the Human Race utilized the coordinates obtained from the Divine Souls of the evil creatures to penetrate the other world and confront those malevolent beings. Among those exalted figures was Xuanhua."
He paused again, then added, "Even more so, for the absolute security of their own starry sky, after those great powers departed, they sealed the passage and the world's coordinates to prevent the enemy from ever locating it again.
They embraced a resolve of certain death, intending to sacrifice their lives to secure a chance of Vitality for this starry sky."
A profound and complex emotion welled up within Lu Qing upon hearing this account.
Those ancient, supreme beings had chosen to act proactively, to safeguard this very starry sky.
They were prepared to forfeit their lives in exchange for the enduring peace of this realm.
Lu Qing pondered for a moment, then posed his questions, "If that is the case, how did the Dark Abyss come into existence?
Why was Xuanhua's corpse discovered there?
Furthermore, why are the records pertaining to those ancient great powers so scarce in the present-day starry sky?"
Gui Xu Taoist regarded him, responding slowly, "This delves into yet another secret."
