CHAPTER 701: 158, HEAVENLY VENERATE

"""

"So... it’s not a transmigration..."

Lin Yue murmured, finally understanding how he came to be.

Lin Jianlu was pregnant with Xiahong Feng’s child in the Other Shore World and returned to Great Yong after becoming pregnant, where she gave birth to him.

And he awakened the memories of his past life at the age of eighteen.

Awakening past life memories really did feel like a transmigration.

But...

"Why did I awaken past life memories?"

Lin Yue asked in confusion, "In my previous life, I was just an ordinary mortal. I didn’t cultivate a Primordial Spirit, and in this life, I suddenly awakened memories without cultivating. What’s going on?"

Theoretically, only after cultivating and forming a Primordial Spirit, which preserves memories, was it possible to restore them in the next life.

"Ordinary mortal?"

The Second Prince smiled and said, "Your mother also mentioned that you would certainly recover memories at the age of eighteen. Although I’m not sure why, I know you cannot be an ordinary person—at least, your Divine Soul’s essence is definitely not ordinary."

Lin Yue was slightly taken aback and asked, "Why?"

"Because you came from the Other Shore."

The Second Prince continued, "The worlds of Old Days, Yanfu, and the Other Shore were newly created by Taichu specifically for the Ancient Human Clan. There, the Divine Souls of the Ancient Human Clan were moved, and without exception, the people of these worlds are all Ancient Human Clan."

He explained slowly, "In ancient times, humans naturally had excellent cultivation talents, each being born with the ability to perceive the Heaven and Earth Law. Becoming a Great Cultivator was not difficult, and those with decent talent could Harmonize and become Saints. The number of those Proving their existence was far greater than now. Even entering a world like the Other Shore, where one completely returned to a mortal state, the essence of the Ancient Human Clan’s Divine Soul remained unchanged."

Lin Yue suddenly understood.

"So, my parents chose to conceive in the Other Shore World to give birth to a native Ancient Human Clan?" he murmured.

"Correct."

The Second Prince said, "Cycles of reincarnation naturally exist in this world. Great Yong has its own, Eternal Night has its own, and the Other Shore World has its own as well. By conceiving in the Other Shore World, an Ancient Human Clan soul would naturally reincarnate, and the child would also count as a native of the Other Shore."

At this point, he assessed Lin Yue again, saying, "Your parents couldn’t be sure of this child’s talent, but the essence of the Divine Soul being Ancient Human Clan was already sufficient. At the very least, this allowed acceptance of the Ultimate Path inheritance guidance from Beiyuan Mountain’s Inheritance Land. Qualities could also be improved with Heaven and Earth Treasures."

Lin Yue remained silent.

So that’s how it was.

Only the Ancient Human Clan could accept the Ultimate Path guidance from the Supreme Altar in the Inheritance Land of Beiyuan Mountain.

Thus, his parents chose to conceive in the Other Shore World, coincidentally allowing him, an Ancient Human Clan, to reincarnate as their child, leading to subsequent events.

"The Supreme Inheritance Altar appeared right before the Emperor’s Inspection ended, around the time I was born..."

Lin Yue suddenly said, "It seems the altar was specifically prepared for me?"

The Second Prince gently nodded, saying, "You could say that. After all, only the Ancient Human Clan can accept the Ultimate Path inheritance. The Divine Emperor also wanted to balance the changes Xiahou Shou brought, so he deliberately sought a trace of Taichu Divine Power to construct the Ultimate Path inheritance altar in the Inheritance Land of Beiyuan Mountain."

The Ultimate Path required not just talent and comprehension; the most crucial factor was the Ancient Human Clan lineage.

Without being part of the Ancient Human Clan, no matter the extraordinary genius, one could at best grasp only part of the Ultimate Path.

Just like the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.

If they could also receive the inheritance guidance, perhaps they might have the hope of mastering the Ultimate Path.

Lin Yue could roughly guess his parents’ thoughts at the time—

In the Other Shore World, a place where all returned to a mortal state, after searching for a long time without finding any treasures to aid the Human Clan, their last resort was to conceive in that world. At least they would give birth to an Ancient Human Clan who could possibly accept the Ultimate Path inheritance.

As for talent and comprehension, they had to leave it to fate.

"However, your parents... or rather, the luck of our Human Clan, was quite good. You truly succeeded in accepting the Ultimate Path inheritance and even mastered its rudimentary form."

The Second Prince sighed, "I truly hope you can successfully Harmonize and master the Ultimate Path. As an Ancient Human Clan, this would make you a quasi-child of Taichu. Once you enter the Yanfu World, who knows what astonishing fortune you might encounter..."

Lin Yue understood the Second Prince’s implication.

For one who had grasped the Ultimate Path, the most important aspect was not combat power, but the great benefits found upon entering the Yanfu World.

Xiahou Shou’s entry into the Old Days resulted in the Demon Clan’s power skyrocketing, nearly extinguishing the Human Clan.

"During the years when Great Yong possessed the Yanfu Key, didn’t you consider entering the Yanfu World yourself?" Lin Yue asked.

"I cannot enter."

The Second Prince shook his head and said, "I can only serve as the one who initiates the Yanfu Key, but those who transcend Heaven and Earth cannot enter those three worlds. Typically, at least those who have mastered part of the Ultimate Path can enter."

Lin Yue suddenly realized.

Over a millennium ago, when Xiahou Shou led the Demon Clan to annihilate the previous dynasty of Great Yu, his strength among Demon Saints was unbelievably formidable because he had mastered part of the Ultimate Path.

His biological father, Xiahong Feng, and the Sixth Prince were just one step away from Proving and Transcending.

It seemed they, too, had mastered part of the Ultimate Path.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince, however, were another level higher, having Proven and Transcended with part of the Ultimate Path.

"The Demon Clan certainly desires the Yanfu Key as well."
