Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2357: Chapter 2358: The Truth of History (Part 1)

Upon stepping into the temple, Xue An found that it was not as opulent as it appeared from the outside.

On the contrary, it was quite simple, akin to the countless Daoist Temples scattered throughout the mundane world.

Only a giant shrine stood in the center, but behind it, no statue existed; there was only a bare wall.

Yue Shifang walked up to the shrine, picked up three sticks of incense, and placed them into the Incense Burner.

As wisps of smoke rose, Yue Shifang remained silent, and it was only after a long time that he spoke softly.

"Do you know why I brought you here?"

"I don’t know!"

Yue Shifang raised his head and said calmly, "This is where the souls of my Bing Family’s ancestors reside, and it’s the spiritual totem of the entire Bing Family!"

Xue An listened quietly because he knew there was more to come.

Indeed.

Yue Shifang suddenly turned around and smiled faintly at Xue An.

"To be honest, Xue An, your talent is the highest I have ever seen in my life, so I want to ask you, would you like to join my Bing Family?"

Having said that, Yue Shifang gazed brightly at Xue An, as if awaiting his answer.

Xue An raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is this a recruitment?"

"You could put it that way!"

"Then I’d like to know, what are the benefits if I join?" Xue An chuckled lightly.

"It’s simple; if you are willing to join, I will marshal the force of the Bing Family to support you. You must understand, the answers you’re seeking and the hidden truths behind them are unimaginably strong, and with the Bing Family’s support, your chances of success will increase significantly!"

"Oh, so that’s how it is. It sounds quite tempting, but unfortunately..."

Xue An shook his head, "I can’t agree!"

Yue Shifang hadn’t expected Xue An to refuse and was left dumbfounded.

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely sure!"

"May I know the reason?"

"The reason is simple too. The vengeance of the Hua Clan must be avenged personally by someone of the Hua Clan like me; if I rely on others, my conscience wouldn’t permit it. Moreover..."

Xue An stared at Yue Shifang, "If I’m not mistaken, even you can’t deal with those entities, right?"

Yue Shifang was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Yes!"

"Since even you can’t deal with them, why drag the Bing Family into this mess? If you can just reveal the truth of what happened back then, I will be grateful!" Xue An replied calmly.

Seeing Xue An’s composed demeanor, Yue Shifang couldn’t help but say, "Are you really planning to walk the coming path alone?"

"Of course not alone; in fact, I have many companions. But you are different; you and the Bing Family are too conspicuous. If you get involved in this, you could easily face extermination, so forgive me, but I must decline!"

Yue Shifang deeply gazed at Xue An, "Alright, it seems you’ve already thought of all the countermeasures, so I won’t press you further!"

"Whatever you want to know, ask now!"

"My questions remain the same! Who exactly opposed the Hua Clan back then, and why did they do it? Why did Mount Bu Zhou from the Hua Clan’s mythology appear in the Sky Beyond the Skies, and where have the Immortals from Hua Clan legends gone?"

These questions had clearly been pondered deeply by Xue An as they almost rolled off his tongue.

Yue Shifang gave a bitter smile and sighed deeply, "You have many questions, but for some, even I don’t know the answers. I can only tell you everything I know!"

"Alright!"

Yue Shifang’s expression gradually turned solemn, "Do you remember when I asked you what history actually is?"

"Of course! And you told me then that history is just an illusion!"

"That’s correct, history is indeed an illusion, at least much of what you know about the Hua Clan’s history is an illusion."

Xue An trembled all over, "What do you mean?"

"Aren’t you curious why the Sky Beyond the Skies contains the hundred schools of thought, and Mount Bu Zhou, which only existed in Hua Clan mythology? The reason is that the Hua Clan’s history has been altered!"

"Altered?" Xue An asked incredulously.

Yue Shifang nodded, his expression grave, "Yes, and it was altered directly by a powerful Divine Skill!"

Xue An looked bewildered because he simply couldn’t understand what was going on.

"In fact, much of the ancient history recorded by you actually did happen in the Sky Beyond the Skies."

"For example, the battle between Zhu Rong and Gonggong, and the subsequent collapse of Mount Bu Zhou, were real events in the Sky Beyond the Skies! And back then, the Hua Clan was the most dominant race in the entire Sky Beyond the Skies, without equal!"

If the previous words only shocked Xue An, then these words left him completely stunned, his eyes staring intently at Yue Shifang.

Yue Shifang smiled calmly, "You don’t need to look at me like that, I’m speaking the truth! You are completely unaware of how powerful the Hua Clan was back then, a presence revered by both gods and demons."

At this point, Yue Shifang’s expression showed a serene longing, "Countless glorious and splendid legends originated from that era, and outstanding talents emerged one after another, thus it was called the Golden Age by some."

"I regret that I was not born then, unable to witness that grand occasion, but just from the scant descriptions in ancient histories, one can deeply sense how glorious the Hua Clan was at that time!"

Xue An’s lips quivered slightly, his face turning somewhat pale.

Because it was his first time hearing these secrets.

"Then what?"

"Then... the once flourishing Hua Clan rapidly declined in a very short time, eventually retreating back to the ancestral land of the Hua Clan, which is your Earth!"

At this point, Yue Shifang glanced at Xue An and helplessly shook his head, "I know what you want to ask, but as to why the Hua Clan declined so rapidly, I don’t know the reason. In fact, I have painstakingly searched, yet haven’t found a single clue!"

"It’s as if they suddenly evaporated, the Hua Clan quickly retreated to their ancestral land. But your people are always well protected by the bravest among you, and even upon retreating to the ancestral land, you were secretly protected by Divine Skill users, allowing you to live well at that time!"

"But later, everything changed suddenly. First, the Divine Skill users among your clan mysteriously vanished collectively. Then, a vast unknown force forcibly altered the memories of all of you!"

"Making you believe that those glorious legends of the past were just events that occurred on that small planet, and gradually you forgot your origins, settling in one corner!"
