704: Chapter 254: Deep into the Sea Eye 704: Chapter 254: Deep into the Sea Eye Even the Dragon Clan was but Blood Food, and the Phoenix Clan’s plight was even more tragic, being consud as an ingredient, considered one of the delicacies under the heavens.
Even the Primordial Phoenix had once been bred in captivity, treated as a rare mythical beast.
As for the Beginning Qilin, it was even a mount for a certain powerful being.
Hearing this, Sun Wukong and the others were silent for a long ti.
It was truly frightening; what kind of era was that?
No wonder that during the Primordial era, though The Three Pure Ones were powerful, they could not restrain this world.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to, but the strong beings of that era were too defiant of the heavens, it was simply impossible to suppress them easily.
“Both the weak and the powerful are not eternal; even the weakest living beings, with enough effort, can beco incredibly strong.
Suiren is the best example of this,”
the Eastern King glanced at Suiren.
At the dawn of the Human Race, how feeble were they compared to those Ancient Gods?
But what was the outco?
Still, the Human Race rose up, and even produced a strong being like Suiren.
Suiren nodded, very much agreeing with this point.
However, for the weak beings to beco strong, they needed to give more.
Others’ starting points were too high; his own starting point might sotis be the endpoint that a weak being could never reach in their lifeti.
The Eastern King continued to talk about that era.
The rise of the Ancestral Dragon was actually in the middle of the Primordial era.
At that ti, it was still an era of strife between thousands of races.
Strong beings between heaven and earth perished batch after batch, and new races erged.
Everything was changing, but gradually, rules began to appear.
It was then that The Three Pure Ones appeared and started guiding living beings.
Following them ca the Supre Ancestral Demon.
“In that era, beings of The Three Pure Ones’ level didn’t just include them.
There were others, but they were sealed or banished, so even killed,”
he said.
“Aren’t beings on that level immortal?”
Wukong asked, puzzled.
Just now, the Supre Ancestral Demon said that even The Three Pure Ones could only trap him in Eternal Silence, but one day, he would still resurrect.
“No one can be immortal; it’s just that they are hard to kill,”
the Eastern King emphasized.
Even the strong could be killed.
Not being able to kill them only ant a lack of strength, not true immortality.
Wukong scratched his head, feeling that this made sense.
He gestured for the Eastern King to continue.
The Eastern King nodded and went on.
He recounted the events of the Primordial era, and Sun Wukong and Suiren occasionally raised questions, gaining a deeper understanding of it all.
Even their insights seed to enlighten the Eastern King.
The Eastern King felt that Sun Wukong and his companions’ thoughts might even be more correct than his own.
Queen Mother of the West sat quietly on the side, listening.
At that ti, she was just an Ancient God of modest strength, unable to partake in these grand machinations of the universe.
Even so, she, like the Eastern King, could peer into matters.
Survival was her greatest hope.
That era was truly too cruel.
“Knowing so much, you must have beco a Supre Level being during that era, right?”
Suiren suddenly said.
The Eastern King smiled slightly and said, “Correct, after the Creation of Heaven and Earth, I was among the first to reach the Supre Level.”
As expected, both of them showed a look of realization.
No wonder the Eastern King knew so much; with his strength, lying low, observing the ages without joining any struggle, he might have evaded even The Three Pure Ones’ detection.
Unbeknownst to them, soone else was watching them, overlooking everything in the world.
“I still have one question: what was before Creation of Heaven and Earth?”
“Chaos,”
the Eastern King answered.
Without waiting for Wukong to speak, the Eastern King said with a smile, “It’s a guess, as we were all born after the Creation.
What truly preceded it is probably only known to the Elder Lord and the like.”
Wukong asked no more.
He always felt that the Elder Lord’s act of creating heaven and earth was intentional, that there was a purpose.
It wasn’t rely to create a new realm and evolve so living beings; that didn’t seem like the Elder Lord’s style.
As if perceiving Wukong’s thoughts, the Eastern King looked deeply into Wukong’s eyes and said, “I know what you are thinking, and I can tell you that there are so things that even I do not know, only the Elder Lord can answer you.”
Wukong took a deep breath and nodded his head.
“Alright, you’ve had your talk, now it’s ti to discuss my matter,”
Queen Mother of the West suddenly said.
The crowd was puzzled, their gaze settling on her; what matter did she have?
At that mont, Queen Mother of the West fixed her gaze on Wukong and asked with a smile, “You took advantage of and just left; don’t you think you owe an explanation?”
Suiren was dumbfounded; from Queen Mother of the West’s words, he sensed an undercurrent.
Sun Wukong and Queen Mother of the West had such a connection?
If this spread, it would certainly shock the Three Realms.
Then, Suiren looked strangely at the Eastern King.
The two of them were publicly discussing such matters; wouldn’t the Eastern King feel sothing?
Obviously, Suiren had also misunderstood the relationship between the Eastern King and Queen Mother of the West.
“My relationship with Queen Mother of the West is rely friendship; everything else is rumor,”
the Eastern King said with a smile.
So that was it.
Suiren felt sowhat embarrassed.
After thinking for a mont, he then said, “Since Queen Mother of the West and the Great Saint need to talk, we’ll leave you two alone to have so space.”
“Good,”
the Eastern King agreed.
The two left, leaving only Sun Wukong and Queen Mother of the West.
