Majestic mountains towered, the palaces and pavilions were magnificent and resplendent, and the air was filled with heavenly energy. In stark contrast to the barren and arid world outside, this was a celestial realm that was prosperous and stood alone in the world.
On the central peak, the majestic Haotian Temple stood tall, towering into the clouds and exuding an aura of power that had endured for thousands of years. He was the core of power for the entire god race and the origin of a thousand year old conspiracy.
Deep inside the temple, in a grand and mysterious hall.
A majestic figure wearing a purple-gold divine robe sat atop a supreme divine throne.
His face was deep and majestic, his brows and eyes radiated an ancient aura, his hair shone with golden divine light, and his body was enveloped by extremely dense divine laws. He was none other than Hao Qiong, the patriarch of the Haotian Divine Clan who had ruled for ten thousand years and who had intimidated the entire heavens.
Having held power for thousands of years, he had long considered the entire god race and all twenty-two heavens as his own. He is cold-hearted, suspicious, cruel, and unrivaled in his intrigue.
At that moment, the temple was completely silent, only the sound of divine runes and the roar of laws could be heard.
A golden figure who seemed a little rushed but still well organized stepped into the main hall, bowing respectfully and lowering his head. He was none other than Hao Ling, who had rushed back.
“Your subordinate Hao Ling greets clan leader.”
Hao Ling’s voice was respectful, his expression was calm, and his breathing was even, just like his usual behavior without the slightest strangeness, leaving no room for anyone to detect any flaws.
Hao Qiong looked down from his high position, his deep gaze sweeping over the returning Hao Ling as if a god was looking at an ant. His imposing aura was heavy, and he carried a very thorough invisible force as he carefully examined Hao Ling.
Feeling Hao Ling’s breathing even, the initial doubts in his heart eased slightly, and he spoke calmly: “You volunteered to be sent on patrol, why did you suddenly return to the team? Did you encounter any unusual activity while on patrol?”
Hao Ling lowered his head, his tone containing just the right mix of fear and seriousness, and reported in a deep voice: “Reporting to clan leader, during my patrol this time, I unexpectedly encountered a surprising event.”
This issue concerns the foundation of our country’s nuclear energy, and also touches on ancient secrets from thousands of years ago. The situation is very important, and we must not delay. Therefore, we must immediately return to our unit to report.”
Hearing that, Haoqiong’s previously calm gaze suddenly sharpened, and the relaxed aura around him instantly vanished, replaced by extreme seriousness: “What’s wrong? Talk quickly.”
Hao Ling carefully chose his words and slowly revealed the information he had prepared: “Recently, I have been secretly investigating the movements of various forces and unexpectedly discovered that the Xuanming Ancient Clan’s recent actions are very secretive and very strange.”
They secretly mobilized their clan’s elite troops, opened the ancient scripture pavilion, and researched the old files of the space disaster a thousand years ago, secretly investigating the true cause of the resource depletion and space invasion that occurred throughout the Twenty-two Heavens a thousand years ago.
“Not only that, the Xuanming Ancient Clan seems to have dug up ancient scroll fragments and found clues, which has aroused some suspicions.”
The invasion from outside the region at that time was not just a natural disaster; it is alleged that top-level local powers secretly colluded with the outside world, engaging in trade and strategic maneuvers, leading to the current state of decline and resource depletion.
“And the core mystery of this secret leads directly to the nuclear energy conversion technique and all-domain array that my Haotian God Clan has monopolized for generations!”
explosion!
Although brief, those few words resounded like thunder within the temple.
Haoqiong’s body, sitting upright on the divine throne, was slightly stiff. The indifference in his eyes shattered completely, and a terrifying sense of gloom and fear instantly emerged.
Thousand-year-old taboos, thousand-year-old secrets, thousand-year-old plans—these were his greatest trump cards, and also his greatest weakness.
For thousands of years, he had acted carefully and meticulously, erasing traces and hiding the truth, all to prevent the heavenly powers from realizing anything was wrong and to completely bury this sordid past deep in the depths of time.
He never expected that after a thousand years of silence, the Xuanming Ancient Clan would suddenly reopen the old case and investigate the truth behind the millennium calamity!
The Xuanming Ancient Clan was its core ally, its greatest community of interests, and the power that understood the nuclear energy system best and was most likely to discover its flaws.
Once they dug deep enough and found concrete evidence, the millennia-old plan would collapse completely, and the Haotian God Clan would perish!
Hao Qiong’s eyes flashed coldly, his tone sharp and piercing, filled with doubt and overflowing anger: “Unreasonable!”
“Our clan has been allied with the Xuanming Ancient Clan for thousands of years, sharing mutual benefits and coexistence, closely bonding, sharing the benefits of nuclear energy, and jointly controlling the heavens. Our origins are profound and our interests are intertwined.”
For a thousand years, we have lived in peace. Why are they suddenly acting so strangely, secretly investigating our clan’s forbidden secrets?
“Who instigated this? Who gave them the courage? Who encouraged them to go against public opinion and touch on this taboo past?”
The aura he radiated was extremely oppressive, and the temperature of the entire temple instantly dropped to freezing point. The terrifying pressure from the origin of the divine race swept across the area, causing the air to nearly freeze.
