Many descendants

Chapter 465 Black Rotten Wood

"So, how do we investigate?" Wen Jin shrugged, helpless.

“Actually, Zulu died long before time reversed.”

"Wait a minute, you're saying Zulu was dead before time reversed?" Wen Jin stared intently at him.

“Yes,” Pei Xuan replied.

Wen Jin frowned, then began searching the ground until she saw a few grains of golden sand. She breathed a sigh of relief, "At least I managed to save my son."

Su Yan summoned her son away, clearly indicating that if he couldn't find the real culprit, he wouldn't return the son to him. So he'd been sitting there for two days, so worried that not a single flying insect dared approach him within a ten-mile radius.

"What do you mean?" Pei Xuan asked, puzzled.

"Who else died before time reversed but is still alive now?" Wen Jin asked.

Pei Xuan frowned. "Xiao Qi's biological father is Rong Ruo. He is now the Crown Prince of the Southern District."

"Him?" Wen Jin asked in surprise. "He has completely captivated Mo Ruo's heart. He's thinking about launching the fourth campaign against the gods."

"Oh. Who won the Third War of the Gods?"

“A member of the Qilin clan descended from the God Clan and should be in the Demon Realm now.”

"What died in the Asura Realm?"

“Spirit-eating demons, the lowest-ranking evil demons in the Asura Realm.”

"Are you deliberately letting the divine realm win?"

"The war of gods is just a game; whoever takes it seriously loses. Heaven cannot allow the evil divine beasts of the Asura Realm to leave, nor can it allow the gods of the God Realm to truly descend to the mortal realm. It's better to guide than to block; give them a little something to maintain stability in all realms."

Why would the divine realm instigate a war among the gods?

"In search of inheritance. The ancient gods are looking for females who can bear them offspring, like Yan Yan."

Why is it so difficult for the divine race to pass on its legacy?

"The Heavenly Dao has changed the rules and has been weakening the gods."

"Weaken the Protoss?"

"The earliest ancient gods, also known as the Chaos Gods, possessed supernatural powers capable of altering the heavens and the earth. Later, those ancient gods either fell into slumber or vanished into the world. The Primordial Gods rose up again. Although they could also live as long as heaven and earth, their supernatural powers weakened, but they still possessed a few forbidden techniques that could affect the heavens and earth."

"Is Qingling Huan an ancient divine beast?" Pei Xuan had heard Su Yan mention it.

"How should I put it? You could call him a chaotic divine beast, or you could call him from the primordial era. He has chaotic primordial power within him, but he was born in the primordial era. But there was only one of him in the world... Now there are three."

"Yan Yan gave birth to a son and a daughter for him."

"Yes. His supernatural powers and soul essence are all within his divine core. As long as the divine core remains, he will live forever. Even if his physical body is destroyed, he can regenerate."

Pei Xuan thought of the Nine Heavens Kunpeng that Su Yan was currently carrying, "And what about Yu Hao?"

“He is a descendant of the Chaos God Clan, or you could say a Chaos Beast, but his supernatural powers are not as great as the previous generation. He is similar to Qing Linghuan; these two should have grown up around the same time.” Wen Jin’s gaze fell on Xiao Hao, who was still searching for clues everywhere. “Just like them.”

"And you? I feel like you know so much, you must be quite something too." Pei Xuan had never been able to see through Wen Jin. He called Ming Linyuan his fourth brother, was a human, and then became the Asura King. The secrets about this person were even deeper than those of Qing Linghuan and the others.

Wen Jin replied, "An idle person."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Pei Xuan didn't ask any further. "She loved Zulu the most. Zulu's death must have had a huge impact on her."

"I thought it was Ziqi."

"She prefers to be with Ziqi because Ziqi provides her with what she wants."

All things and races under heaven pursue profit. Yan Yan is a female of the rat race, born weak. In order to survive, she must admire and rely on the strong. Everyone understands this.

But once she gained power, she would no longer want to depend on others, but rather to control them. Ziqi, being the Beast King, could not provide her with that sense of control.

Far always obeyed Su Yan, and he had the most children; this was his wisdom.

Actually, Yan Yan may seem indifferent to everything, but she is actually very domineering by nature; you can figure that out if you think about it carefully.

"Playing hard to get?"

"Pretty much. Qing Linghuan had a fight with her once, the one where you were the punching bag, but in the end she still obediently went back to her side."

"Because of the child, right? Yan Yan should have promised to continue having little foxes for him."

"That's possible. However, even someone as proud as Qing Linghuan lowered her head, so there might be other reasons."

"other?"

"I don't believe you don't like the way she is in bed. Saying it's for the sake of having offspring is sometimes just about indulging in that moment of desire."

"..."

"Take your time investigating. I'll take my son to the palace; maybe we'll find other clues. Give me a few of your communication talismans."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Wen Jin took out more than a dozen communication talismans from the alternate dimension.

Pei Xuan took it and called to Xiao Hao, "Son, go find your Uncle Zi and Little Seven."

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a golden-eyed black panther beast.

Xiao Hao hopped and skipped onto his back, then waved his big, furry paws at Wen Jin, "Goodbye, Uncle Wen."

"Okay, I'll bring Xiao Fengning to visit you another day."

You absolutely must come!

Pei Xuan carried it on his back and sped away like lightning.

Wen Jin stood up, rubbing a few grains of sand between her fingers. "Black rotten wood."

……

Beast King's Palace.

Ziqi rarely lost his composure, looking utterly dejected.

"No wonder she was like that that day. It turns out that I had just said something that was going to harm Zulu, and then Zulu died."

"..." Pei Xuan was speechless. "Disaster comes from the mouth."

"Yes, to make an example of others. I've been relegated to the sidelines now," Ziqi said with a self-deprecating laugh, picking up the teacup on the table, then putting it down and replacing it with strong liquor.

Pei Xuan said, "Give me some too."

Ziqi tossed him a small jar, "The most unlucky one should be Wen Jin. The trouble came out of nowhere, and the child was also summoned away."

“However, he seems to have discovered something; there must be a clue,” Pei Xuan replied. “What bothers me more is that he asked me, who died before the time reversal but is still alive now?”

"Before time reversed? Could someone be specifically targeting these people... Rong Ruo!" Zi Qi's expression changed drastically.

Pei Xuan thought of what he had just said, "It seems you need to go to the Southern District. Zulu is dead, and Ruorongruo is dead too. She'll probably suspect you again. After all, there's Xiaoqi, and you said before that the father left the son behind."

“Yes.” Ziqi smiled wryly. “I do need to go to the South District. The Beast King of the South District is preparing to abdicate in favor of the Crown Prince, who is also getting married and has sent out invitations.”

"How about I come with you?"

"Where's Xiao Hao?"

“He wants to go to the Divine Beast Academy for a few days, and he can go with Grape and the others. I’ll talk to Zong Sili about it later.”

“Yes, Ming Linyuan has always had business dealings with the Southern District. Before you came, he wrote to me saying that he was going to the Southern District to attend a wedding and a coronation ceremony.”

“Let’s meet up then. Speaking of which, if what Wen Jin said is true, and Rong Ruo is the target of the purge of survivors before the time reversal, then what about Rong Wu?”

“At that time, you and Zong Sili died, but he was still alive. Moreover, he was the last person Yan Yan saw when she started wandering with the children.”

"...What is Rong Wu's beast form?"

"Blue-scaled Deer".
