“To the Martial Emperor, nothing is more important than him becoming a Martial God. Family ties are just dispensable to him. If he can beca Martial God through his children, he won’t hesitate at all.

“So I’m sure— after the Martial Emperor failed with my brother, he will choose to be reborn innext. Fortunately, I understood the Martial Emperor’s intentions in advance through the Palace Master. The Martial Emperor’s failure this tclearly requires a lot of tto specialize in his rebirth technique. This way, I will have stto deal with this crisis.”

When Xiao Shi heard this, he was also very emotional. The Martial Emperor was even more ruthless than he had imagined. No wonder Yan Huagu had never called the other party ‘father’ from the beginning. Instead, he called him the Martial Emperor.

Presumably, from the moment Yan Huagu knew the Martial Emperor’s intentions, he had no longer recognized this father.

Xiao Shi also understood why the Martial Emperor hated the Heavenly Mystery Palace so much. It was probably because the Palace Master had seen through the Martial Emperor’s intentions and had ruined the Martial Emperor’s plan. That was why the Martial Emperor established the Life Testing and wanted to destroy the Heavenly Mystery Palace.

After all, from the results, the Martial Emperor had clearly not been successfully reborn in Yan Huagu.

“After 1 knew the Martial Emperor’s intentions, 1 began to think of a way to save myself. 1 first secretly left the Great Wu Empire and hid. If the Martial Emperor can’t find me, he can only target my third brother.

“However, the complexity and difficulty of this rebirth technique far exceeds the Martial Emperor’s expectations. He failed again with my third brother. Although it didn’t cause him to die, it caused irreversible damage to his soul. This caused his personality to change drastically, and he was unable to cultivate for the rest of his life.”

Xiao Shi was stunned. It was as he had guessed. There was indeed something wrong with the prince’s brain. No wonder there were so many tricks. What he did not expect was that the person who crippled the prince was actually the Martial Emperor.

It was not just the prince. Of the three princes, one was dead, one was crippled, and the other was missing. It could be said that they were all caused by the Martial Emperor.

Xiao Shi also understood why the prince had never liked the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. That was because the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was founded by Yan Huagu. Not only did the prince hate the Martial Emperor, but he also hated Yan Huagu. He hated Yan Huagu for escaping back then, causing him to becthe Martial Emperor’s target and be crippled by him. He felt that the person who was crippled should have been Yan Huagu. He blamed all of this on Yan Huagu. So he naturally hated the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect that Yan Huagu had founded.

But after he inherited the Great Wu Empire, he had no choice but to rely on the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect as it was the only way to allow the Great Wu Empire to continue holding on. Therefore, he could only continuously suppress the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect in the internal power struggle.

This was the reason. Or was it because his soul had been injured by the Martial Emperor that his personality had becextremely distorted?

“I know that my third brother hates me, but I had no other choice at that time. In that situation, I could only protect myself. After all, 1 was facing a Martial Emperor in the ninth realm of the Martial Dao. If I did anything that aroused his suspicion, I would definitely be imprisoned by him.

“Therefore, I didn’t dare to tell anyone what 1 knew. I pretended to investigate the cause of my brother’s death and found an opportunity to escape secretly.

“After the Martial Emperor failed to reincarnate in my third brother, he realized that even if he successfully reincarnated in him next time, he would not be able to cultivate at all. Therefore… I becthe only candidate for the Martial Emperor to reincarnate.

“Although I’ve already hidden myself, I know that with the Martial Emperor’s ability, it won’t be long before he can find me. There’s only one way forto escape the fate of being reborn by the Martial Emperor. To beca divine envoy!” Yan Huagu said in a deep voice.

“Divine Envoy?” Xiao Shi was stunned. This was the first the had heard this term.

Yan Huagu explained seriously. “The so-called Divine Envoy is to becthe envoy of those gods. It’s said that there are other worlds outside the Tianwu Continent, but unlike the Tianwu Continent, these worlds have already given birth to gods.

“Only the Tianwu Continent has yet to produce a Martial God. 1 don’t know what era it started, but a god outside the Tianwu Continent cast a strand of consciousness on the Tianwu Continent.

“They call themselves High Gods and specially choose talented martial artists from the Tianwu Continent to recruit. As long as they agree to bectheir divine envoys, they will do their best to help them becMartial Gods.

“A long tago, a High God foundand wantedto be his divine envoy. The reason why 1 was able to establish the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was because of the help of this high god. It allowedto suppress the era with my demigod cultivation. From there, 1 used four different eras as the foundation to establish the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.”

Yan Huagu’s words caused a monstrous shock in Xiao Shi’s mind again. He had already sensed that there was a mysterious power on the other party that he did not know about. He was a demigod, after all. It was impossible for him to suppress and seal an era. This far exceeded the limits of a demigod’s abilities. It was extremely unreasonable.

Now, Xiao Shi finally understood. All of this originated from the high gods outside the Tianwu Continent.

“When the High God helpedestablish the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, 1 didn’t agree to bechis divine envoy. At that time, he was actually showinghis strength so that 1 would know that he had the ability to helpbeca Martial God.

“But 1 know that there is no such thing as a free lunch. I’m not the only one. The Martial Emperor has also cinto contact with a High God. After all, with the Martial Emperor’s aptitude and talent, he’s the most likely candidate to beca Martial God.

“However, the High God who wants to help the Martial Emperor is not the sas the High God who wants to help me. And the Martial Emperor once toldthat if a High God comes to find me, 1 must be wary of them. These High Gods specially cto our Tianwu Continent to help us give birth to Martial Gods. They must have ulterior motives.

“Therefore, neither 1 nor the Martial Emperor agreed to becthe envoys of these High Gods. But in that situation, I didn’t have any better choice. Even if 1 know that this is asking a tiger for its skin, I can only choose to beca divine envoy to have the capital to resist the Martial Emperor. But 1 still underestimated the gap between a demigod and a ninth-stage martial artist.”

Yan Huagu sighed. “Although my strength has increased greatly after I beca divine envoy, I’m still not his match when 1 face the Martial Emperor again. Not only was my heart dug out by him, but my soul was also severely injured.

“Fortunately, I managed to escape from him with the help of the High God’s power and didn’t fall into his hands. But because 1 lost my heart, my injuries can’t heal and will only worsen. 1 also know that as long as I’m alive, the Martial Emperor will definitely be able to findthrough the tracking of my bloodline.

“Therefore, I specially chose to seal my body in this coffin in the sect altar. My soul was sealed in another coffin, and the coffin that sealed my soul was placed in the Ancient Cang’e Tree. This way, even if the Martial Emperor tracksthrough his bloodline, he won’t be able to findagain.

“If there are members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect in the future who can cinto contact with the coffin that sealed my soul, perhaps I will be able to see the light of day again.”

Xiao Shi finally understood everything. He did not expect all of this to originate from the Martial Emperor. It stemmed from the Martial Emperor’s pursuit of the Martial God Realm. In order to beca Martial God, he had already spared no expense.

However, Xiao Shi still did not forget his initial question. What he wanted to know in the beginning was the demigod who had yet to appear in the Tianwu Continent.

Now that he understood all of this, Xiao Shi’s pupils constricted. He instantly guessed who the demigod who hadn’t appeared was.. “Could it be…?”
