You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

"However, did Master not intervene to save Xiahou Shou back then?"

Lin Yue was somewhat puzzled.

But Master didn't even know the real reason for Xiahou Shou's betrayal of the Human Clan, so he evidently did not know the truth.

Although he was also unclear about what happened afterward, he could roughly guess some of it.

In short, he was a tragic figure played by fate.

"In this life, after being deceived by women, Xia Lie's character also changed drastically, becoming more extreme than normal people. Could this be the influence deep from the Divine Soul?"

Lin Yue couldn't help but thoughtfully ponder.

After condensing the Primordial Spirit, even if one reincarnated, the memory could be perfectly retained. Memories were already imprinted deep in the Divine Soul, and even reincarnation could not wash them away, showing how profound it was.

Many Great Powers, after reincarnation, were also deeply influenced by the memories of their past lives. If they were a Great Demon in the past, it was very hard to become a good person in this life.

It was said that in the Demon Path, there was a notorious Great Demon who, even after reincarnation, was born amidst mountains of corpses and Blood Seas, inherently malevolent. Even after several reincarnations, and though he practiced Buddhism, he remained a Demon Buddha.

"Shall I ask Master about it?"

Lin Yue hesitated a little.

Master mentioned meeting him once before he traveled the Human World, yet he also wanted to know the real reason for Xiahou Shou's betrayal of the Human Clan.

Although he wasn't particularly clear now, he knew the general idea.

He just didn't understand how exactly Xiahou Shou survived and joined the Demon Clan.

But…

These were memories that could only be awakened after achieving Harmonization and entering Saint.

"Forget it, it's not very clear for now, and there's no need to deliberately ask Master."

Lin Yue thought carefully and decided to give up, "Master certainly didn't know the real reason, or he wouldn't wait for me to inform him. I'll wait until next time we meet."

After thinking it over carefully, he sat back with peace of mind.

Anyway, this matter wasn't important, and there was no need to hurry.

"However, the powerhouses of Great Yu, whether in quality or quantity, are far inferior to those of Great Yong."

Lin Yue recalled the memories of Xia Lie's past life regarding those powerhouses of Great Yu and couldn't help but sigh.

Nowadays, the Great Cultivators of Great Yong were actually considered middle-tier individuals in the entire court, and only by placing them in ordinary administrative institutions could they be considered high-ranking officials.

But during the Great Yu Period, Great Cultivators already had an extremely high status, fully qualifying as high-ranking.

Even more exaggerated was the status of a Saint, even outsiders could directly become Sealing Kings with immense power, and their numbers were much fewer than those of Great Yong.

Moreover, as far as he knew, over 95% of the Saint powerhouses in Great Yu achieved sainthood through the normal Dao.

Very few followed such heaven-defying paths, truly scarce enough to count on one hand.

Like the Five Ancestors of the Demon Path at the time, sixteen hundred years ago, the Demon Path only had the Five Ancestors, as the Myriad Poison Demon Ancestor had not yet been born.

"Aside from the fact that there were more people and a more perfect Cultivation System, the key was also… Beiyuan Mountain."

Lin Yue immediately understood this point.

The Inheritance Land of Beiyuan Mountain, the guidance of each altar's inheritance, was extremely crucial.

All powerful individuals in Great Yong who hoped to achieve Harmonization basically visited that Inheritance Land, thus greatly increasing the hope of achieving Harmonization. More than a hundred people had received core inheritance guidance, allowing them to attempt such heaven-defying paths.

In such a cultivation environment, no wonder it was so much more prosperous than Great Yu.

"But… Great Yu actually had the body of the Human Ancestor?"

Lin Yue suddenly thought of the body of the Human Ancestor in the Imperial Mausoleum of Great Yu and couldn't help but squint slightly.

From Xia Lie's memories, the body of the Human Ancestor was alive but appeared dead, in a deep slumber, and within it, there seemed to be remnants of Divine Power from Ancient Gods?

A person attesting to Perfect strength clearly existed as an Immortal; why did the Human Ancestor and the reign of the Human Emperor over the Human Clan end?

The state of the Human Ancestor revealed some clues.

"Hmm…"

Lin Yue pondered for a moment and then projected his Divine Thought into his Storage Ring, blending it with the black jade coffin, or rather, the "Eternal Darkness Reincarnation Coffin."

With his current Divine Soul condensed into the Primordial Spirit, he no longer needed to deliberately retrieve the World Token or black jade coffin. He truly could multitask, merely needing to split a portion of his Divine Thought to allow his consciousness to enter anytime.

...

In the Myriad Beasts Valley of the Eternal Night Illusion Realm.

"Boy, long time no see."

The Human Ancestor cheerfully scrutinized Lin Yue and said, "You've made quite a bit of progress, mastering the Three Talents Heaven Barrier, back from that Beiyuan Mountain?"

"Yes." Lin Yue nodded and said, "Human Ancestor, I have discovered the whereabouts of your physical body."

"My physical body?" The Human Ancestor asked in confusion.

"It's understandable that you lack memory of this stage."

Lin Yue continued, "In the memories I acquired this time, I found that your body is hidden in the Imperial Mausoleum of the former dynasty, but whether it is dead or alive, I do not know. Do you have any thoughts on this?"

"Dead or alive?" The Human Ancestor became even more puzzled, "What do you mean my body is in the Imperial Mausoleum of a previous dynasty?"

"Well, it seems you don't know." Lin Yue shrugged, not surprised, casually saying, "The previous dynasty, Great Yu, was under the Wu lineage, reputedly your direct descendants."

The Human Ancestor was from the Wu Yan clan, and over the generations of the former Imperial Family, taking Wu as a surname was also normal.

"Yu?"

The Human Ancestor pondered for a moment, suddenly saying, "I had a child with quite remarkable talent; his name was Yu."

Lin Yue slightly raised an eyebrow and said, "That would have been tens of thousands of years ago; the You Xia surname of the Human Emperor is also your descendant, and Xiahong of the Divine Emperor is still a descendant of the Human Emperor; it's impossible to deduce clearly."

"Indeed… tens of thousands of years, it has been too long."

The Human Ancestor sighed, and then said, "However, that former dynasty, Great Yu, was a dynasty over a thousand years ago, and it has been destroyed. Even if my physical body were preserved, it might not be found now anyway."
