As the True Fate World returned to tranquility, the restraining force on Xu Zii’s body also disappeared.
He carefully felt his own True Fate World and discovered that nothing had changed.
Looking at Chaos lost in thought, Zimo asked, "Do you know sothing?"
"An ancient legend, so ancient that almost no one believes it anymore, nearly forgotten," Chaos said gravely, "I don’t know if it’s true, only guessing on my own."
"What legend?" Zimo inquired.
"The origin of species," Chaos replied slowly.
Zimo was startled. As for the origin of species, he knew very little. The most widely accepted and disseminated belief was that the human race evolved from the Beast Race.
In those days, Qing Yangzi proposed the theory of Beast Race evolution, and he and the Strength Emperor created the Half-Beast People.
Although this experint was considered a failure, the Beast Race evolution theory proposed by Qing Yangzi was widely accepted.
Not only the Monster Race, but also the human race themselves acknowledged this theory.
"Are you referring to the human race’s origin and evolution theory that Qing Yangzi ntioned before?" Zimo asked curiously.
"No, sothing even more ancient," Chaos replied, "Have you ever considered, if the human race evolved from the Beast Race, then what is the origin of the Beast Race itself?"
"The origin of the Beast Race?" Zimo was taken aback, as this was sothing he had never paid attention to before.
"This is a secret kept by our Beast Race. In truth, I do not know whether it’s real or not," Chaos replied, "Legends say that at the dawn of the Epoch, heaven and earth were in a state of Chaos.
The Chaos Pearl separated heaven and earth, and at that ti, no life existed in the world.
After the separation of Chaos, its utmost positive energy rged with the essence of the sun, evolving into a lifeform known as Taiyang Zuzhao.
Taiyang Zuzhao was the most powerful and noble creature in the world, whom we refer to as the Holy God.
Furthermore, after the division of Chaos, its utmost negative energy rged with the essence of the moon, evolving into another creature known as Taiying Youying.
We call it Wang Sheng, the past Holy One."
"Taiyang Zuzhao, Taiying Youying," Zimo murmured to himself, these nas were unfamiliar to him.
When Chaos Pearl took him into the River of Fate, he saw the evolution within the River of Fate, which did not include information about these two entities.
It is known that the River of Fate ca into existence at the beginning of the Epoch.
Thus, the only explanation was that the birth of Taiyang Zuzhao and Taiying Youying predates even the River of Fate.
"Continue, please," Zimo said, looking at Chaos.
Chaos nodded and said, "Yin and Yang beget the Dual Polarity, the Dual Polarity gives rise to the Four Symbols, the Four Symbols join to create the Bagua, and the Bagua gives birth to all things. Hence, the Dual Polarity breeds the nature of heaven and earth, the Four Symbols define the essence of heaven and earth.
According to the speculations left by our ancestors, the fusion of Taiyang Zuzhao and Taiying Youying gave rise to the Monster Beasts in the world.
Whether it’s the four Holy Beasts from legends or various ferocious beasts whispered in rumors, they are actually all derived from the Holy God and the past Holy One.
Later on, these Monster Beasts, after another derivation process, evolved into other Beast Races."
"It seems I’m beginning to understand," Zimo pondered aloud.
"Let explain it in the simplest terms," Chaos continued, "Regarding the legends of the Dragon Clan, let’s not discuss these lower-level dragons for now, the image of the Divine Dragon has always been circulated among my Monster Race.
Its head is like a cal’s, its antlers like a deer’s, eyes like a rabbit’s, ears like an ox’s, neck like a snake’s, belly like a clam’s, scales like a carp’s, claws like an eagle’s, palms like a tiger’s.
According to our Monster Race’s legends, in fact, all these so-called rabbits, oxen, snakes, carps, eagles, tigers... are evolved from the Divine Dragon.
That’s why so parts of their bodies greatly resemble the Divine Dragon.
The Dragon is one of the four Holy Beasts. If the four Great Holy Beasts evolved the Monster Beasts of the world, and the Holy Beasts themselves derived from Taiyang Zuzhao and Taiying Youying,
then one can conclude that all the Beast Races in the world are evolutions of Taiyang Zuzhao and Taiying Youying."
To put it simply, Taiyang Zuzhao and Taiying Youying were the ones who evolved the four great Holy Beasts, and these Holy Beasts then transford into all the creatures in the world.
Subsequently, among these monster beasts, so evolved into you humans."
"Are you saying that the monster we just saw is related to Taiyang Zuzhao and Taiying Youying?" Xu Zii asked, shocked.
"After Taiyang Zuzhao and Taiying Youying evolved all creatures, they went into hiding," Chaos said, looking seriously at Xu Zii. "I suspect that the monster we just saw is Taiying Youying’s true form.
And the pearl that flew out of you must be the Chaos Pearl."
Upon hearing Chaos’s reasoning, Xu Zii was startled and gave Chaos a look-over before saying, "Your intelligence, it’s sothing else."
"Master, can you first tell if that was the Chaos Pearl or not?" Chaos eagerly asked.
"What does it have to do with you? Just be a good bootlicking dog," Xu Zii replied nonchalantly.
"Master, I didn’t realize how deep your secrets ran," Chaos said excitedly. "From now on, I’m all yours. Through thick and thin, through hell and high water, my loyalty will never die."
"You were a Divine Beast of the Wild Desolation Epoch, can’t you have a bit more ambition?" Xu Zii replied, exasperated.
"Does being ambitious make one stronger?" Chaos inquired.
"No."
"Then I might as well stick to being a decent lackey."
"Oh."
"Master, why are you so calm?"
"What’s there to be excited about?"
"The Chaos Pearl, Taiying Youying, compared to these, so-called Great Emperors are nothing but rubbish," Chaos hastily replied.
"I don’t get it, how does any of that concern you?" Xu Zii turned around and asked, defeated.
"How does it not concern ? I’m your Vein Beast, after all. Once you beco powerful, I’ll benefit from it."
"And then?"
"When you eat at, you ought to at least save a sip of the broth!"
"I won’t."
.........
"Master, can I touch your Chaos Pearl?"
"Scram."
"You got it!"
......…
After leaving Secluded Dragon Gorge, it had already grown dark outside.
Xu Zii stowed Chaos away into the Dinsional Space and then checked on his True Fate World, finding that nothing had changed.
Whether Taiying Youying was real or not, Xu Zii couldn’t bother himself with that much.
Tomorrow he was to attend the Sect Gate’s ceremony for the Saint Heir, and in the evening, his father Xu Qingshan had soone deliver a set of robes.
Claiming it was the Saint Heir’s robe, he told Xu Zii to wear it for the ceremony the next day.
A night without words. Xu Zii decided not to practice cultivation that evening and simply chatted with Chaos all night long.
He managed to coax out many secrets of the Monster Race from him; Chaos was now clearly acting like a hanger-on.
Thinking back to when he was so arrogant, Xu Zii couldn’t help but lant that the tis had changed, beasts’ hearts weren’t what they used to be!
