Nie Lang spoke, looking at Chu Mo with a somewhat peculiar gaze, and said with a bitter smile, "Because this matter is related to..."

As he said this, his expression suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something, then he stopped speaking and shook his head, saying, "If the Celestial Emperor really wants to know about this matter, we'll have to wait until we get there to talk about it."

Chu Mo also became alert, realizing that this matter was related to the initial gods. Nie Lang was willing to risk being misunderstood by him and ambushed by the beings of the God Realm, and he ventured into the most dangerous area of the God Realm just to discuss it. Clearly, it's not something that can be spoken about here.

Chu Mo displayed a smile of apology on his face.

In reality, his actions just now were actually testing!

Because he really wanted to know what Nie Lang intended to do!

What kind of things couldn't be discussed in the lower realm and had to be said in the most dangerous area of the God Realm?

It can't be blamed on Chu Mo for being too cautious; it can only be said that this matter exudes an eerie feeling from inside out.

Luckily, Nie Lang didn't mind; even if he knew it was a test from Chu Mo, he wouldn't care. Because even if he were in Chu Mo's place, he would have the same mindset.

Afterward, the two did not speak further, and under Nie Lang's lead, they sped through the God Realm.

"This is the Endless Heaven." Finally arriving here, Nie Lang breathed a sigh of relief, he said, "This place was originally considered to be the highest point within the God Realm. In fact, the God Realm, along with the lower realms, along with all the worlds we see, feel, and know, are collectively called the Sifang Realm! The Sifang Realm is a truly standalone realm. Its boundary, to date, no one has been able to leap over."

Upon arriving here, Nie Lang spoke more casually, looking at Chu Mo, "If it weren't for the collapse of the God Realm, turning the Endless Heaven here into a real chaotic zone, even here wouldn't be safe. Hasn't the Celestial Emperor always wanted to know about the matters of the initial gods?"

Chu Mo nodded.

Nie Lang said, "Actually, this matter is related to this God Realm's invasion of the lower realm."

Chu Mo quietly looked at him.

Nie Lang said, "As I said earlier, the Sifang Realm is a standalone realm, meaning outside of here, there is nothing. Of course, you can also think that outside there is the everlasting and immortal."

Chu Mo raised an eyebrow: "Does that mean, as long as we leap out, we can obtain the eternal and immortal? Without building a perfect God Realm?"

"Yes, there is such a saying, and it should be true. But the premise is that one must be able to leap out." Nie Lang looked at Chu Mo, "In fact, the God Realm is such a springboard."

As Nie Lang spoke, his gaze became deep, "Actually, the initial gods were exceptionally wise individuals. They also knew the drawbacks and pitfalls of the God Realm, but they were too eager to leap out of here. The God Realm is not everlasting and immortal after all. Only the Overlords know this. In the entire God Realm, no more than a hundred people know."

Chu Mo knew that there had been changes among the overlords of the God Realm.

Nie Lang continued, "The original intention of the initial gods in building the God Realm was to leap out of the Sifang Realm and truly obtain eternity and immortality, and also to see what the world outside was really like."

Hearing these words, Chu Mo couldn't help but laugh, "I've seen it countless times, and each time before seeing it, I was full of great anticipation and hope. But after seeing it, I found it completely different from what I imagined. There's no perfect world in this world."

Nie Lang said, "Every being has different visions and patterns. However, you are right, there's no perfect world in this world. That's why I would resolutely lead my tribe back to the lower realm. Actually, that should be the common homeland for all beings! Abiding by the rules of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the law of survival of the fittest, adhering to all the principles before Heaven and Earth. I think this is the life we should pursue."

Chu Mo nodded, "Some people keep thinking about controlling, wanting to control the Six Paths of Reincarnation, wanting to control all things in this world, as if there's one thing they can't control, they won't allow it."

"Actually, many beings are like this." Nie Lang said, "However, the initial gods failed. Their numbers are not small; actually, they are in the billions. Possibly even more than that, perhaps immeasurable. After creating the God Realm, they first discovered that this world is not flawless and somewhat unstable. A great amount of life energy is needed to sustain it! And where does this life energy come from? Only the lower realm! Their once hometown!"

Chu Mo remained silent.

Nie Lang said, "At this point, disagreements were inevitable because not all beings were so ruthless and indifferent, especially since they were the initial ones! They all came from the lower world's realm. How many can turn back and destroy their homeland after leaving it?"

Chu Mo nodded, agreeing with Nie Lang's words.

"Then, at that moment, they next discovered that extracting vast life energy to build the God Realm gave rise to a law that they couldn't resist!"

"It was a power similar to a curse!"

"The sins they had committed were too grave. And here, there were no Six Paths of Reincarnation. So, other laws had to emerge."

Nie Lang looked at Chu Mo: "The vast majority of the original gods were swept away by the river of time. Some became a wave in the river, turning into its waters; others vanished from this world entirely, leaving no trace. Those left behind began to propagate their descendants in this world, wanting to leave some fallback."

Chu Mo thought of the events he had experienced in the Tunnel and looked at Nie Lang: "For the day they might return, they could extract the essence and blood from their descendants to make themselves stronger?"

"Yes, that's why all god spirits have golden blood. It makes it easy to distinguish." Nie Lang said with a bitter smile: "Isn't the truth more absurd than we imagined?"

Chu Mo sighed softly: "I've been through similar things, so it's not that absurd to me."

Nie Lang said, "Those few original gods, after leaving descendants, also encountered calamities one after another!" He looked at Chu Mo: "And now we return to the grudge between life runes and the Beast Clan. It's because, in the past, the original god beast of the Beast Clan and the ancestor of life runes, that original god, competed for a woman."

"..." Chu Mo was rendered speechless.

Life runes and the Beast Clan fighting over a mate? Indeed, it's too ridiculous.

"Ridiculous, isn't it?" Nie Lang said with a bitter smile.

Chu Mo nodded.

Nie Lang said, "That woman was a member of the Human Clan, also an original god. She was very powerful and incredibly brave. Do you know who she resembles?"

Chu Mo looked at Nie Lang: "Drifting?"

Nie Lang nodded seriously: "Back when you brought Drifting, the Demon Lord, and the monkey to meet us, I was scared out of my wits when I saw Drifting, you know?"

As he spoke, Nie Lang took out an ancient portrait from his belongings and showed it to Chu Mo.

Chu Mo looked at it and was also speechless because in this evidently ancient portrait, which must have seen Immeasurable calamity, the image of the Drifting Empress was vividly lifelike, exactly like Drifting today! Even her attire and the cold expression on her face looked identical.

Nie Lang said, "So, I've always suspected that Drifting might be the reincarnation of that woman."

"Such things are hard to say." Chu Mo said.

Nie Lang nodded: "I know." Then he continued to say, "In the past, the ancestor of life runes and the beast god competed for that woman, but both failed. Soon after, the woman disappeared without a trace. The rune ancestor and the beast god blamed each other, and a great war broke out between them. Later, both sides had offspring, so this hatred was ingrained into their very blood. Since the Immeasurable calamity, any Beast Clan member seeing a life rune would instinctively be hostile."

Chu Mo scratched his head: "Is that so? Then why does nothing happen when they descend to the lower realm?"

"No, it's not that nothing happens when they descend." Nie Lang said: "It's because Drifting is there! Now, as soon as I think of life runes, I get irritated."

"..." Chu Mo's mouth twitched: "She really might not be that woman."

"I know, perhaps it's like two different flowers on opposite banks of the river of time." Nie Lang said, then spoke to Chu Mo: "Through our Immeasurable calamity simulations, we've learned many things. One of them is that the more force you use and the more beings you kill, the greater a disaster it becomes for those creatures leading matters in the divine realm. Just like those original ones from the past."

Chu Mo nodded: "So they initially tried everything to resolve it peacefully? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Nie Lang looked at Chu Mo: "I couldn't say, at that time, the Heavenly Emperor didn't trust me like this. It was impossible for me to bring them to a place like this. Anywhere else, mentioning matters of the originals would cause instability. Before, when the divine realm hadn't collapsed, it was somewhat better. But now... it's become very serious. A subordinate of mine mentioned some things about the original gods carelessly, and now he's suffering calamity."

Nie Lang said this while looking at Chu Mo: "Moreover, in a certain place in our world, I suspect it's a prison."

Chu Mo's heart skipped a beat, he seemed to know which place Nie Lang was referring to.

That place should be what the three great reverends referred to as the place hiding great secrets!

"A prison?" Chu Mo asked, looking at Nie Lang.

Nie Lang nodded: "That's right, I suspect it holds a large number of top-tier original gods!"

"Then, what does this have to do with the divine realm attacking our world?" Chu Mo asked.

Nie Lang said: "That place contains huge uncertainties! If we truly can't hold them off, I think we might be able to go there."
