Chapter 644

Irresponsible
Translated by Crystal of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Very few knew of the ancient battle, and as luck would have it, the You Family ancestor they met at the Demon Beast Graveyard of the Ghost Tomb Mountain Range was one of them. It was also him who told Ling Xiao about it, otherwise he had no way of knowing.

He also told him about the fact that when the Four Ancient Beast bloodlines combined, it was strong as the Almighty. Back than, in an instance, the man in white knew all of the bloodlines in Ling Xiao, but if it wasn’t for he and You XiaoMo’s relationship, he might not have told Ling Xiao about it.

What goes around comes around, probably something like that.

As for why the first TongTian Emperor died, that has to do with the Four Ancient Beast Clan’s legend.

The first TongTian Emperor was highly ambitious, not only did he want to destroy the Four Ancient Beast Clans, he also wanted to destroy some of the major families of the time. The You Family was amongst them. He wanted to then regroup the forces of the TongTian Continent and unify them.

But his scheme was still discovered.

Back in the ancient times, there was also someone like Ling Xiao who had all Four Ancient Beast Clan’s bloodline and was just as unappreciated. Back then, the Four Ancient Beast Clans didn’t know that a perfectly combined version of their bloodline would become as strong as the Almighty.

Only when the first TongTian Emperor’s scheme was discovered did that person start to shine, but when the fight came near its end, that person still perished together with the Almighty.

Due to the Almighty’s disappearance, although this world was complete, it’s rules weren’t fully set. What was left was what the first Almighty set as the rule, if there wasn’t a new one soon, it wouldn’t be long before their rules disappeared.

But, even though the ancient battle was an evil scheme of the Almighty, the truth wasn’t known because the one who found out about it was the one who died together with the Almighty.

Before he could say it, he died. As for why the You Family’s ancestor knew, that was because he was coincidentally there when it happened. Not only that, they weren’t stupid either, there were too many loopholes as to why the battle occurred, it’s just that most of them died in the battle.

So up till now, no one knew of the dirty secret of the TongTian Palace and that it wasn’t worth worshiping at all. However, with the TongTian Palace destroyed as well as their reputation, there was no need to purposefully mention the truth behind the ancient battle.

This TongTian Emperor spring up tens of thousands of years after the ancient battle. Many of those in the TongTian Palace had died in the ancient battle as well, not only that, very few knew of the scheme in the first place, thus the TongTian Emperor actually knew very little. But, he just needed to know that the first TongTian Emperor was the Almighty and that was enough.

There was only one thought in You XiaoMo’s mind as he heard the story. There was nothing ‘absolute’ in this world, even someone as strong as the first TongTian Emperor stilled died, but that was completely his fault.

He could have just comfortably stayed as the Almighty, but he just had to unify everyone, clearly unnecessary. And what happened? He successfully forced the true powerhouse out and died. Greed and power was truly death-inducing.

“Then what are we doing about this magic pill?” You XiaoMo asked as he looked at the dark red magic pill silently resting on his palm.

At first he thought that Ling Xiao might use it, but after some careful thinking, he thought against it. Ling Xiao already had the four bloodlines, he didn’t need to be like the TongTian Emperor and rise to the Almighty level. Not only that, this magic pill absorbed so many lives, it was sinister and this was probably an incomplete product.
