CHAPTER 700: 157, EARTH_3

The Second Prince, confined to his wheelchair, appeared before him and smiled, saying, "The truest self is what enters that authentic dream realm, and that image isn’t easy to change."

He shook his head and said, "However, aside from those few from the Demon Path who died, the images of the other Saintly powerhouses shouldn’t be so detestable as to provoke disgust, it should be fine."

"But..."

Lin Yue slightly furrowed his brow and said, "If the Demon Clan anticipated this situation, they surely have a backup plan."

"Now we can only deal with things as they come, I guess."

The Second Prince sighed, "After all, it was Xiahou Shou who brought out these measures from times past, involving that Ancient One’s child. Neither the Crown Prince nor I have a good solution..."

Lin Yue asked, puzzled, "I heard from the Star Lord that Xiahong Feng once entered the Other Shore. Didn’t he obtain any treasures from the Other Shore World?"

The Second Prince fell silent for a while, looked at him, then slowly said, "He mentioned that it is a world where one completely returns to the mortal life, devoid of any treasures."

"The Other Shore, devoid of any treasures?" Lin Yue was slightly taken aback.

"None."

The Second Prince sighed and said, "I used to think that their choice to enter the Other Shore might have been a mistake, but now it seems it may not necessarily be wrong."

"They?" Lin Yue immediately caught on to the word ’they,’ "Not just Xiahong Feng?"

"And your mother."

The Second Prince said softly, "The only reason your mother could enter is because of the Divine Emperor. The Divine Emperor once followed the Ancient Child of the Other Shore in the Ancient Times and had some special privileges. So he was barely able to allow your mother, a frail cultivator, to enter. Because your mother is quite exceptional, the Divine Emperor wanted to let her help take a look."

Lin Yue fell silent for a while and then said, "Xiahong Feng is my father, right?"

"Correct," The Second Prince nodded slightly.

"A descendant of Prince Cheng’s bloodline?" Lin Yue asked.

"About five generations removed," The Second Prince said with a smile and a slight nod.

Lin Yue felt this was somewhat ludicrous.

By that account, he was the son of Xiahong Feng, wouldn’t Prince Cheng be his ancestor?

He had even killed Prince Cheng.

"Back then, Xiahong Feng faked his death in Eternal Night and escaped, and Prince Cheng thought he had died as well."

The Second Prince looked at him and said, "You needn’t care so much about the order of seniority. The Crown Prince is also a reincarnation of the Human Ancestor. The Human Ancestor is the progenitor of the Human Clan; aren’t you still going to call him ’big brother’?"

"With such terrifying talent, Xiahong Feng must be the reincarnation of someone, right?" Lin Yue couldn’t help saying.

If it weren’t for the Human Ancestor still inside the Eternal Darkness Reincarnation Coffin, and the Crown Prince still around, he would have previously thought Xiahong Feng was the reincarnation of the Human Ancestor or the Crown Prince.

But which historical figure’s reincarnation would be so terrifying?

The King of Jing Country? Or some other peerless genius?

"No need to guess. He didn’t want me to tell you, otherwise letting you know wouldn’t be a problem," The Second Prince shook his head, "When he’s willing to reveal his identity to you, he’ll naturally come out and tell you."

"Where is he now? Is he still alive?" Lin Yue asked.

"Of course," The Second Prince nodded slightly, "In fact, he has always been watching over you; you just don’t know it."

Lin Yue fell silent for a long while, sighed, shook his head slightly, and then asked, "My parents entered the Other Shore and really didn’t bring anything back?"

The Second Prince hesitated for a moment before saying, "That should be the case, yes. Indeed, it is a world that completely returns to the mortal life. After your parents entered, they too became mortals. They searched there for a long time and did not find any useful treasures before they left."

Lin Yue remained silent.

Earth, indeed, was like that.

Even bringing a nuclear bomb to this world would not be as formidable as a full-force strike from a Saint.

"However, why did you say ’should’?" Lin Yue asked, puzzled.

The Second Prince looked at him, then slowly said, "Because... your mother was pregnant in that Other Shore World and left after. If one must say they brought something back, then it’s you."
