Creation of the Universe

"I have no objection. Your place is a good choice, as it's a place where no gods or ghosts can get close to you."

Meng Zhong quickly agreed to Zhao Tiange's proposal.

Chu Qiu lowered his head and thought for a moment before casually saying, "The Forgotten River... a hundred years ago, it was a name that terrified everyone. Now, I'm afraid it's been deliberately forgotten. But if you go back, wouldn't you alert the monsters there?"

This was the only thing Chu Qiu needed to worry about, so he pointed it out specifically.

Zhao Tiange said nonchalantly, "That's right. I haven't been back for a long time. I don't know what a mess it is there. I just want to clean it up and benefit the surrounding villages."

"But don't worry. My incident three hundred years ago has already left a deep shadow in their hearts, and it will never go away."

Chu Qiu sighed, "It's hard for you. You obviously don't like going back."

"For Hu Meng, I don't care about this little thing."

The three of them quickly reached a consensus, but they still had to wait for Shen Zhan's nod of approval.

Shen Yunli couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother, where is the Forgotten River?"

Shen Zhan replied, "In the past, that area was lush with grass and water, and had beautiful scenery. It was a fairyland with a strong spiritual charm in Xuantian Continent. Many people were fascinated by it and wanted to move there to reproduce and thrive, so that their descendants could be bathed in the fairy spirit and pass it down from generation to generation, and there would be no end of life.

However, the Forgotten River soon became the target of demons. They expelled the natives living there and slaughtered the various sects that came to oppose them. As a result, the Forgotten River gradually became the lair of the demons. They issued a warning: "If you are not of our race, you will die if you trespass."

After hearing this, Shen Yunli looked at Zhao Tiange with great concern. She was of course very curious. Why did Zhao Tiange say that it was his lair when it was clearly a place where demons gathered?

In order to avoid Shen Yunli's misunderstanding, Shen Zhan immediately explained: "I forgot to introduce you. These people are all good brothers who have been through thick and thin with me. You are my sister, so naturally you are also their sister. You should treat them with the same attitude as you treat me."

Afterwards, Shen Zhan introduced Chu Qiu and Meng Zhong to Shen Yunli one by one. When he introduced Zhao Tiange, he deliberately added: "Tiange's father is an ordinary person, and his mother is a demon. Therefore, his identity is a bit special, but this does not prevent him from being one of my most trusted brothers. Moreover, not all demons are evil. The conflict of interests between them and humans is nothing more than for their own survival.

At first, Tiange had a bad relationship with the demons of the Wangchuan River because of his background, but he was so powerful that no demon dared to provoke him in the end.

Shen Yunli nodded and said maturely, "I understand. Whether it's a human or a demon, they must be divided into good and evil. We can't lump them all together."

Zhao Tiange laughed heartily after hearing this, "Sister Yunli is right!"

The others also laughed. Shen Yunli was a little timid when she saw them at first, but after close contact, she found that everyone was a good person, and the initial awkwardness was quickly eliminated.

Afterwards, Chu Qiu accompanied Zhao Tiange to the Wangchuan River. The abilities of both of them were very helpful to Hu Meng's recovery. This time, it was Meng Zhong's turn to stay and follow Shen Zhan's orders at any time.

The three of them walked back to Zhu Xiuyuan, and Shen Zhan said to him, "Are you poisoned?"

"Indeed, and it should be the same poison you were poisoned with."

Zhu Xiuyuan answered without any concealment.

Shen Zhan was puzzled and asked, "The poison of the Heavenly Dao destroyed your foundation and severely damaged your soul. How did you survive?"

"I've lived for over three hundred years, yet haven't been able to break through to the Martial Saint realm. How could I possibly possess a divine soul? The Heavenly Dao poison was the most powerful and damaging to you, at the time of your Martial God realm. It was originally a method specifically prepared against you.

They used this poison on me, which was an exaggeration, but after I was poisoned, I was lucky enough to escape their pursuit and fled all the way, and they never succeeded.

Three hundred years have already passed in the blink of an eye. I have the martial arts realm to protect me, so even though I am old, I can still survive."

Shen Zhan said, "Of the seven great princes back then, only the two of us are left. I think after so long, you must have thought about revenge."

"No chance."

Zhu Xiuyuan is such an arrogant person, but he gave a discouraging answer.

“Although the Heavenly Dao Poison couldn’t kill me directly, it tortured me from time to time. Previously, Zhao Tiange chased me so hard that the Heavenly Dao Poison took effect and I almost died in that dilapidated house.

I am now in my twilight years, and my death is imminent. How can I possibly take revenge on that venomous woman?"

Although Zhu Xiuyuan tried his best to appear carefree, his tone still couldn't hide the regret and unwillingness in his heart.

The seven princes fought for their country in many battles and made countless military achievements, but in the end, they still ended up with their bows put away after their birds were killed. It is impossible for them to say that they do not want revenge.

"The poison of heaven may not be unsolvable. There is always a way."

Shen Zhan's words weren't simply a comfort. He believed that in such a vast world, there was no poison that couldn't be cured. If he hadn't been betrayed by his fiancée, poisoned by the Heavenly Dao, and then stabbed by his own brother...

Otherwise, if he could escape from danger that day, he might be able to detoxify himself, make a comeback, and push those who betrayed him into hell one by one, making them suffer unbearable pain.

"Leave matters of revenge to you. Right now, I only want to train a good disciple who can inherit my legacy.

Shen Zhan, I have lived a dull and boring life for the past three hundred years without old friends like you. It is so meaningless. From now on, I will watch you guys turn this world upside down and make the woman in the high seat of the temple unable to sleep or eat, and live in constant fear!

It will be very enjoyable then!"

As Zhu Xiuyuan spoke, he began to laugh unconsciously, and his laughter was happier than in the past three hundred years.

The two were not close friends. In the past, when they met, they would often argue after only three sentences. However, when they met again recently, they felt a different kind of emotion towards each other.

Shen Zhan smiled and suddenly said, "You are my sister's master now. Don't hide anything. You must teach her all your best skills. Otherwise, I won't agree."

Zhu Xiuyuan immediately became excited. "Of course, with such great talent, she should learn my skills and let her carry forward my techniques in the future. But when she reaches the Martial God Realm, you must not be jealous."

"Because the disciples I, Zhu Xiuyuan, teach must be stronger than you, Shen Zhan!"
