Chapter 951 - Immortal Monarch's Descendant

"Since it's confirmed that you have the Immortal Monarch's Bloodline, I must address you properly. It's only natural, as you're the Immortal Monarch's descendant." The Lord said.

"Just continue calling me Yuan. I don't like it when people suddenly change the way they address me. It feels awkward."

"I understand, Yuan." The Lord nodded.

"Anyways, I still have more questions."

"Ask away."

"Why are you responsible for the seal on Earth? Who decided that?"

"It was my decision and idea to accept the seal." The Lord said.

"Why? Your strength is sealed, and your energy is constantly being absorbed by the seal. Why would you agree to what is essentially constant torture?"

The Lord smiled and said, "Believe it or not, I do it because I love humans."

"Huh? What kind of nonsense is that?"

"I know, you probably think it's stupid. I am well aware of how cringe and typical my reasoning is, but it's the truth. Furthermore, I was born on Earth— at least before it got its name. Earth was a small part of First Heaven before, and it was my hometown."

Yuan sighed, "Well, I'm not going to make fun of your decision even though I find it ridiculous, so I'm going to go ahead and move to the next question."

"Since there are two Divine Beasts here, could there be other Divine Beasts hidden in this world? What about magical beasts? Where did they go? And how did the existence of cultivation disappear for the majority of the world?"

"I'm not sure if there are other Divine Beasts out there since it's been countless years since I have left this place, but it's not impossible. As for the magical beasts… They were all hunted to extinction. Normally, more magical beasts would be born after some time, but due to the lack of spiritual energy in this world and its small size, such a thing did not happen."

"Now onto why the majority of this world forgot about cultivation… Honestly, I don't know how it happened. I went into a deep slumber shortly after I took the seal into my body, and when I woke up, it was as though the entire world had forgotten about cultivation."

"With that being said, the people living on Earth before it was separated from the Nine Heavens were mostly mortals, so that could be a cause."

"Perhaps the people of this world decided to give up on cultivation altogether and started focusing on technology instead. Who knows."

"After all, if you think about it, even a somewhat powerful cultivation can remove mountains with ease, and considering the size of this world, it would be for the best if people stopped cultivation."

"Let's take you for example, Yuan. At your current level, you are more than capable of destroying this world, and you're only a Spirit Grandmaster. However, these are all just speculations."

"I see…" Yuan mumbled.

After pondering for sometime, he spoke, "All right, I will leave things here for now. There is a lot of new information that I need to think about and digest. When I'm ready to talk again, I will come back with more questions."

"Very well. We'll be here whenever you need us." The Lord said.

"Liya, escort him back, and do not be disrespectful to him." The Lord turned to her and said.

"Oh! One more thing. Do you mind if I tell my friends about the stuff I learned today?" Yuan suddenly asked.

"If you want. Just try not to spread it too much. It might cause the entire world to panic."

"All right."

Yuan left the peak of the mountain shortly after.

"You don't need to follow me all the way. I can get back by myself." Yuan said to the Manager after they left the formation.

"Say no more." The Manager turned around and started walking back to the peak of the mountain without any hesitation.

After returning to the peak of the mountain, the Manager walked straight to the cave and spoke in a frustrated voice, "Why did you lower yourself to him? That wasn't part of the agreement!"

"He's the Immortal Monarch's descendant. It's only natural for Divine Beasts to lower their heads before him."

"That's bullshit! He's not the Immortal Monarch! He's just a descendant!"

"Descendant or not, as long as he has the bloodline, we are obligated to respect him. This is the will of our ancestors— the will of the Nine Ancient Beasts."

"In fact, let me give you a suggestion, Liya. Go serve him. It will benefit you greatly."

"What?! You want me to serve that pervert?! Are you insane? I won't do such a thing even if it's the last thing I do!" She immediately refused.

"Those that carry the Immortal Monarch's Bloodline are destined to do great things. There are even Divine Beasts out there that dream of being beside someone with that bloodline. You should really take advantage of your situation and create a connection with him before he inevitably travels to the Nine Heavens with his real body."

"You sound like you want to be his servant. Why don't you do it then?"

The Lord shook his head, "I would be lying if I say that I don't want to serve him, but I am not worthy to be by his side."

"You, on the other hand…"

"Don't even think about it. I will never serve a human!"

"What a pity. His blood is really tasty, you know? If you become his servant, you might be able to drink his blood very often. Legend also has it that if a Divine Beast drinks enough of the Immortal Monarch's blood, they can 'evolve', becoming more powerful than ever."

The Manager swallowed nervously after hearing such words, but she quickly shook the idea away.

"I don't care if he's the Immortal Monarch's descendant— even if he's the Immortal Monarch himself, I will not serve him! I hate humans! And I will never forgive them for their crimes!" After saying such words, the Manager turned around and disappeared from the scene.
