Chapter 1264 Liya's Doubt

1264 Liya's Doubt

"You are the Immortal Monarch…? Do you honestly expect me to believe you?" Liya asked him after snapping out of her daze.

Yuan smiled and said, "Honestly? I do. But if you don't, that's fine as well. I'm sure you'll eventually believe me. Oh, I also happen to be the Divine Paragon— who triumphed in the war against Demons and rescued humanity."

As Yuan revealed one astonishing revelation after another, Liya's mind struggled to process everything, and she could even feel it burning from being shocked too much.

Seeing Liya standing there in stunned silence, Yuan waved and added, "I can make my way back to the house on my own. See you later." He then turned and left, leaving Liya to collect her thoughts in solitude.

Liya, in her state of bewilderment, made no effort to halt him or seek clarification regarding the astonishing revelations Yuan had disclosed. She remained rooted to the spot, her thoughts in disarray.

Yuan returned to the mansion sometime later.

"I've only just returned, and so many things have occurred already," he sighed wearily as he stepped back into the mansion.

"Welcome back, Yuan," Meifeng greeted him as she stood waiting in the lobby.

"Don't tell me you've been waiting for me…" Yuan said with a surprised look on his face.

She silently nodded before opening her mouth, "Are you okay? You seem tired."

"We chatted longer than I'd expected."

Yuan had pondered whether he should tell everyone about the situation the moment he returned home, but he decided to wait until the next day, as he wanted them to properly rest for the day, and they already had a gathering for that day.

"You should get some rest tonight, Meifeng. You'll need it for tomorrow." Yuan said, being a little cryptic.

"Did something happen?" Meifeng couldn't help but ask after noticing it.

Yuan nodded, "Yes, I'll tell you guys tomorrow."

"I understand."

Since Yuan decided to wait until tomorrow, Meifeng figured that it probably wasn't anything too serious. Unbeknownst to her, Yuan had made the same mistake, only to later realize that the world was ending in less than a hundred years.

"Goodnight, Yuan."

"Night."

Yuan proceeded directly to his room, and upon opening the door, he was met with complete darkness, shrouding the room in obscurity.

'Did she already go to sleep?' he wondered inwardly as he stepped inside the room.

However, once he closed the door, Chu Liuxiang's voice resounded, "Welcome back, Yuan."

"Oh, I thought you went to sleep already."

"How could I sleep alone on your first day back? Do you have any idea how long I've waited for this moment?" Chu Liuxiang remarked as she switched on the lamp next to the bed, revealing her appearance.

"You… that appearance…" Yuan's eyes widened when he realized Chu Liuxiang was wearing erotic black lingerie that barely covered her body, and she even positioned her body in a seductive manner that purposefully exposed her body, almost as though she was a model for an adult magazine.

Due to the whirlwind of events that had transpired earlier, Yuan wasn't initially in the mood to engage with Chu Liuxiang. However, knowing that she had endured six months without him, he didn't want to let her down.

'Even if the world were to end tomorrow, I'll still find time to spare for my loved ones,' Yuan thought to himself, recognizing the importance of cherishing the moments with those dear to him.

And without any hesitation, he created a concealment formation in the room for their privacy and entered bed with Chu Liuxiang, spending the rest of the night enveloped by pleasure and the warmth of Chu Liuxiang's body.

Meanwhile, when Liya returned to the peak of the mountain, she immediately went to seek the Lord.

"Did something happen?" The Lord noticed her pale complexion and asked her.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Liya asked, "Can you tell me about the Immortal Monarch in more detail?"

The Lord immediately misunderstood her intentions and smiled, "So you're finally interested in him."

Liya didn't even have the energy to refute his statement and remained silent.

"As you're aware, the Immortal Monarch played a pivotal role in ending the conflict between dragons and humans. However, those accomplishments pale in comparison to his other feats," The Lord began. "He not only achieved the distinction of being the first human to be accepted and respected by a Supreme Divine Beast, but he also became the first human to ever command one."

"Furthermore, he didn't merely have a single Supreme Divine Beast under his command; he had a total of nine, as well as influence over many other powerful Divine Beasts. The title 'Supreme Divine Beast' is reserved for only the most powerful Divine Beasts at the pinnacle of their respective bloodlines

— they are beings that can literally rule over an entire race."

"Using his connections with the Supreme Divine Beasts and numerous other Divine Beasts throughout the Divine Heaven, the Immortal Monarch accomplished what was once deemed impossible— coexistence between humans and beasts."

"Prior to the time of the Immortal Monarch, humans and beasts seldom engaged in communication, and when such interactions did occur, they often escalated into deadly confrontations, not even mentioning Divine Beasts."

"The Immortal Monarch brought about a profound transformation in that regard. Thanks to his influence and tireless efforts, humans and beasts ceased their hostilities upon encountering each other and even began to collaborate, eventually coexisting within the same city."

"If it hadn't been for the Immortal Monarch, countless more humans and beasts would have perished in senseless conflict. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to claim that the Immortal Monarch saved both humanity and beasts, which is why he's held in such high esteem, even revered."

"In the entire history of the Nine Heavens— at least up to the point when I departed— I don't believe anyone had as profound an impact on the world as the Immortal Monarch." As he spoke of the Immortal Monarch, the Lord's countenance bore an admiring expression, reflecting his deep reverence for the legendary figure.

After a momentary pause, he went on, "Actually, one could argue that there was another individual who matched the Immortal Monarch's influence— the Divine Paragon, renowned for instilling fear in demons known for their inability to experience fear, and for rescuing the Divine Heavens from the Demon Clan."

"Although humans endured the greatest hardships during that era, we, the beasts, were not spared from the turmoil."

"Immortal Monarch and the Divine Paragon…" Liya had a perplexed look on her face, one that the Lord found challenging to interpret.

Then she proceeded to ask, "The Divine Paragon, can you tell me more about him?"

"Sure…"

Although the Lord was uncertain about the reason behind Liya's interest in the Divine Paragon, he had a hunch that this information held significance for her.

Thus, the Lord began sharing his knowledge of the Divine Paragon with Liya, who listened with great focus.

In the end, Liya posed another question, "Do you think reincarnation truly exists? And if the Immortal Monarch and the Divine Paragon were to reincarnate, what kind of individuals do you think they would become?"

The Lord pondered for a good moment before responding, "I personally believe in reincarnation, and if they were to reincarnate, I believe it would be someone like Yuan— at least that's what I hope."

Liya's body trembled upon hearing the Lord's answer.

"I see… Thank you for your time. I'm going to get some rest now." And without explaining any further, Liya disappeared from the Lord's sight.
