The True Gods.
Thanks to Shen Jing, Godslayer, and the beasts from the Beast Realm, Alex had co to learn a bit about the True Gods.
They were two real gods, unlike the false gods that were simply called such. They were the ones that were responsible for blessing the 4 divine beasts and creating the 3 demonic plants.
He couldn't be sure which god was responsible for which, but he could guess. He saw Scarlet and rembered how she ntioned the feeling she got from him. That and the fact that her body favored the sun more than anything.
If what Alex had heard just now was correct, along with every bit of information he had, then it would be correct of him to assu that the god that had blessed the Heavenly Beasts was the Sun God.
Alex couldn't help but gulp in surprise and shock.
"M-my body… is that of a True God?" he asked.
"More of a re imitation," the man said. "The Sun God disappeared, but the impression he left behind in the world did not. As such, from ti to ti, people would be born with an imitation of their body."
"Most of those would be of a quality that was nothing to speak of, but you were born with one that could be considered to be one of the best imitations of the Sun God's body. Good enough to be considered a divine grade body."
"And then you sohow evolved it," the man said with clear amazent in his eyes. "That's an entirely different problem that I have to deal with sohow."
"It's a problem that that I evolved my body?" Alex asked.
"It would be depending on your character, but from what I've seen and what I've heard, you are very much not problematic at all," he said. "Had you instead been soone who let their power get to their head, I would've killed you the mont you walked in here. Sothing like the Sun God's body cannot be allowed in the hands of soone who would only misuse it."
Alex took a step back out of sheer instinct.
"Don't worry," the man said. "As I ntioned, you are more than good enough to have a power like that. In fact, I had happy that you grew up to be who you are today. The problem I talked about has nothing to do with your body, but rather how you evolved it."
"I… ate the Yang fruit," Alex said.
"You ate the Nine Yang Divine fruit," the man said.
Alex's eyes went wide. He quickly turned to Scarlet in the distance who wasn't paying attention to them at all. 'Did she tell him? We were supposed to be keeping it a secret, weren't we?'
"Why are you looking toward the phoenix?" the man asked.
"Nothing," Alex quickly said. "Nine Yang Divine fruit… that's the na of the fruit I ate?"
"Yes," the man said with a sigh. "I thought it would be fine leaving it be here, but who knew soone like you would co around to consu it for yourself? Urgh, I shouldn't have stolen it. I'm an idiot."
Hao Ya was surprised to hear her master call himself an idiot.
Alex was surprised as well, but for completely different reasons. "Wait… senior, what do you an by you stole it? Were you the one that brought the tree here?"
"Urgh! Don't remind , please. I hope master can save from this sohow," he said. "I would've been fine if the plant was still alive, but now that it's dead… urgh."
Alex couldn't believe what he was seeing. The senior that seed greater than heaven was crouching in front of him with his head in his arms. He stared for quite a while before quickly shaking his head.
"So you were the one who brought the plant here? I had assud it had co with the teor shower," Alex said.
"Huh? teor shower? What's that about?" Hao Ya asked.
"Oh, about a thousand or more years ago in the Western continent, there was a night when the sky was lit up with teors that fell from the sky. What they assud were teors at the ti actually turned out to be precious weapons, tools, books, plants, etc. I had thought that the plant whose fruit I ate had co in that shower as well, but it seems it was senior who brought it here instead," Alex said.
"Oh," Hao Ya said with a blank face before turning to her master and back to Alex. "Actually, you are correct. That plant did co in that event you call the teor shower."
"Huh?" Alex looked at her weirdly. "But your master said—"
"My master… is the one who caused that teor shower," Hao Ya said.
"WHAT!?"
Alex was hearing so many surprising things today that he felt like he needed a pill to calm his heart before it failed.
"Senior was the reason behind the teor shower?" Alex asked.
"Oh, that. Uh, yeah, it was ," the man said.
"How did that happen?" Alex asked.
"Well, I was trying to run away from my master's place after stealing everything from there but was caught at the last second before I could teleport sowhere else. My master tried to pull out everything I had in my storage and she did manage to do it, but I also managed to activate the formation to take to a random realm."
"At the sa ti, I took the items with as I teleported away, and when I ca here, they were out of my control, thrown everywhere in this world where I was not welco. I was also hurt, so I spent my ti in hiding here, healing myself."
"I never knew the mortals referred to my disaster as a teor shower," the man said with laughter in his voice.
The man turned around to see Alex's shocked expression. "Don't be too surprised, I heard sothing similar happened to you too. I heard you were teleporting with quite a few items when you hit the Qi wall here and had to lose everything," he said.
"I did," Alex said blankly. "Senior, you stole stuff from your master?"
"Yes," the man said straightforwardly before realizing what he had said. "Wait, I'm not a thief. I just stole stuff."
Alex's eyes narrowed.
"No, I an I stole, but profiting from the stealing was not my intention. It was ant for sothing bigger, sothing grander than I or the things I stole," the man said. "I had good reasons to steal those items."
"I don't doubt you, senior," Alex said with a bow.
"You don't trust , do you?" the man said. "Of course, why would you? I wouldn't trust either."
"No, no," Alex said quickly. "I'm sure you had reasons, senior. I don't doubt your words. I'm simply wondering what reasons they could be to force a disciple to steal his master's stuff."
"No, not my master's stuff. I wouldn't dare," the man quickly said. "I only stole what my master was safekeeping in her place. They didn't belong to her at all, but rather the entire human race."
Alex's eyes narrowed when he heard that. "Your master's place held items that belonged to the entire human race?" he asked in surprise. "Where is this place?"
The man gave a smug look. "It's a realm known as the Sky God's Palace. My master is the current Sky God."
