It made no difference to him whether they were ancestors; he was simply returning a favor to Zhan Tian.
With a satisfied nod, Zhan Tian channeled nine strands of spiritual power into the stone pillars.
All at once, the room grew dark, as glowing points began emerging one after another in the air.
Numbers he recognized alongside names he didn't.
"So many!"
Dozens of those shimmering numbers caught Chen Xuan's eye at minimum.
"Alas!"
Zhan Tian let out a sigh right then, "Lower realms keep getting wiped out in greater numbers."
Yet Chen Xuan had no attention for him now?
"Boom!"
Strands of spiritual power burst forth, probing those dozens of glowing specks.
"No..."
"No...."
...
To avoid any errors in detection, he scanned every single one repeatedly.
From the side, Zhan Tian watched him with puzzled eyes; the man hunted for a destroyed lower realm.
"Is it possible someone close to him hailed from a lower realm?"
Such a thought crossed his mind.
"Impossible!"
Struck like thunder, Chen Xuan cried out in shock, stumbling back pale-faced, his frame starting to shake.
In that instant, he appeared to have aged years in a flash.
His gaze fixed hard on those blinking coordinates.
No Human Realm!
How was that possible!
Despair gripped him fully now. His long search had dwindled to just the Three Judicial Departments in the Imperial City, and at last... nothing!
This outcome he refused to accept!
"Why! Why!"
Mad with grief, Chen Xuan exploded outward, his tidy long hair whipping wildly like a lunatic's.
"Calm!"
Zhan Tian bellowed, slamming a palm to restrain him using late eighth-level Dao Realm might.
Outside!
Liu Sheng, amusing himself with Xiaoqi, shuddered violently.
He whipped his head toward the Library Pavilion.
"What happened!"
Zhan Tian had unleashed his full power!
"You play here, Grandpa Liu will check it out!"
His form vanished with those words, reappearing at the tenth-floor entrance of the Library Pavilion, though he stayed outside.
"Zhan Tian!"
Loudly he called inside.
"It's nothing!"
Those two words eased Liu Sheng's worries at once.
Zhan Tian would never deceive him.
Still, what went on in there!
Inside!
Suppressed on the floor, Chen Xuan sat with a blank stare.
He mumbled under his breath!
Thankfully, his energy had fully withdrawn.
Zhan Tian approached, already suspecting the truth dimly.
Earlier he'd figured it might be someone near Chen Xuan from a lower realm.
But this reaction pointed to Chen Xuan himself, with his lower realm facing destruction.
"I didn't expect you to come from the lower realm."
Zhan Tian's words rang through the chamber.
"Elder Zhan, why is it not there?"
Chen Xuan leaped up abruptly, eyes on Zhan Tian.
"If it's not there, then it means it has already been obliterated!"
Like a death knell, Zhan Tian's reply hammered his heart.
"Poof!"
Blood sprayed from Chen Xuan's mouth, his complexion going deathly gray.
He'd pondered this earlier but shoved it away; belief was impossible.
How could it be!
A hundred years remained for the Human Realm then; mere decades had passed—obliteration so soon?
"Take it easy, the obliteration of a realm is the will of Heaven, and there's nothing anyone can do about it."
Rarely consoling, Zhan Tian tried to comfort him.
Warriors lived long lives too, and Chen Xuan remained far too youthful.
With time, losing loved ones becomes routine; he'd adapt.
"Impossible!"
Chen Xuan shook his head fiercely, "When I came to the Supreme Domain, there was still a hundred years, it's been only at most twenty years now, definitely impossible to have been obliterated!"
Human Realm destroyed? He rejected it outright!
Deep down, he held firm it endured!
"Are you certain?"
Zhan Tian inquired gravely.
"Certain! Before I left, I looked carefully at the Human Realm, and the Emperor of the Human Realm also told me, there were still a hundred years, so I definitely wouldn't be mistaken!"
Realm destruction took time too.
Back then, Human Realm had barely started; no way it vanished so fast.
Zhan Tian's face showed uncertainty upon hearing this.
"Elder Zhan, do you know something?"
Ignoring status entirely, Chen Xuan closed in and clutched Zhan Tian's shoulders tight.
"Tell me! In this burial ground, I will kill all the people from other continents!"
Desperate for answers, he dangled his top offer.
Zhan Tian knew more, he sensed, yet held back.
"Sub-realm!"
Two words slipped slowly from Zhan Tian.
"Sub-realm?"
What did that mean? Never heard it before.
"Let go!"
Zhan Tian shot him a fierce look; the kid's grip packed real force, causing slight ache.
"Yes, yes..."
Hope ignited, so Chen Xuan let go fast, then pressed urgently, "What is a sub-realm? Elder Zhan, please tell me quickly!"
Were he stronger, soul-search would be tempting.
"Why the rush!"
"Wait a moment!"
Eyes shutting, he linked mentally with Liu Sheng outside.
"This boy comes from a sub-realm!"
"Sub-realm?"
The message stunned Liu Sheng at the tenth-floor door.
Sub-realm to Supreme Domain paths were all sealed off—from the prior dynasty's era.
They acted because sub-realms formed the Supreme Domain's base, with tales of giants seizing lower realm World Spirits for their heirs.
Sub-realm World Spirits ranked supreme quality.
This led to rampant thefts, dooming whole realms.
Celestial Punishment existed, yet Profound Realm sufficed against frail sub-realms.
Slay a Profound Realm for a top World Spirit—prime deal.
Desperate, the old dynasty slew giants and poured vast resources to seal key sub-realm channels, scaring off the culprits.
Great Yu Emperors renewed the order each reign, warning the greedy.
Thus, lower realm World Spirits stayed safe from predation.
