Looking back, it was all like a fairyland.

But he had a problem.

"I want to know what the Crown Prince's attitude is; after all, he's right there in the sky. This one is somewhat different from the others, so Su Mu can't afford to be careless."

After hearing Su Mu's question, Shenlong was really not sure. He was not a know-it-all. The information he knew was also known by most people, and the information he didn't know was also unknown to him. So he didn't know the exact situation of the Emperor of Heaven's family.

Speaking of the Heavenly Emperor's family, one cannot help but mention another figure, the Queen Mother of the West, who is also the de facto ruler of Kunlun Mountain. Of course, the Queen Mother of the West is not the Heavenly Emperor's wife; the title "Queen Mother of the West" is more of a professional designation. During that great calamity, the disappearance of Kunlun Mountain was inextricably linked to her. She is also a great deity, a god who controls Yin and Yang, and is immortal; she is truly a powerful being.

As for this person, some say that he has already gone to the void outside the sky, while others say that he is hiding between heaven and earth with Kunlun, waiting to watch the rise and fall of heaven and earth.

"This one is even more mysterious than the Heavenly Emperor."

"The former Heavenly Emperor," Su Mu added.

"The relationships within the Heavenly Emperor's family are quite strange; outsiders really don't know the intricacies involved. But don't we have someone on our side who knows?" The Mirage Dragon gestured towards Lu Wu.

Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Wu again. This overwhelming feeling made him sweat profusely, because he really knew. Oh my God!

"I'll do it." Su Mu stepped forward. Although he wasn't particularly skilled at extracting memories, he was the strongest and should naturally be able to extract deeper layers of memories.

"So, before we begin, let me ask you, will you speak for yourself, or will I do it myself?" Su Mu asked considerately.

Lu Wu felt a pang of bitterness. The feeling of being overwhelmed by power was truly unpleasant. Whether he spoke or not, the other party got what they wanted. He had no right to threaten or even offer any bargaining chips. He didn't know why the situation had deteriorated this way, but now he wished he could beat his former self to death.

He shouldn't have peeped at the damn source of faith. If he hadn't peeped, he wouldn't have been cast into eternal silence; if he hadn't been cast into eternal silence, he wouldn't have developed an interest in the creatures of this era; if he hadn't developed an interest, he wouldn't have attracted a group of beings that left him helpless.

Now, he had reached a turning point in his fate. Although his words wouldn't change anything, these changes were caused by him. He had never seen the elusive fate so clearly as he did today, never.

In the end, Lu Wu finally revealed the secret about the Emperor of Heaven.

"You don't need to know the Crown Prince's attitude, because he won't have any attitude. That Crown Prince lost all consciousness long ago, after gathering the power of the sun. He is nature itself; the sun, or the Great Sun, is too important to this world, too important for the world to allow it to have its own consciousness."

"This is a deal between the world and the Heavenly Emperor."

Lu Wu spoke with great difficulty, but when the others heard it, it was as shocking as the creation of the world. Lu Wu did not want to openly reveal such a secret, but seeing the shocked people, he felt an indescribable sense of relief.

Come to think of it, the world has always been this mess. He'd even slash himself for the sake of better development, so why would it be so hard to deprive a living being of its intelligence? But speaking of it, the sun is truly important. It's more than just the sun; it embodies many concepts: time, for example. Rising and setting are a marker, a time of scale; life, animals and plants need the sun. Without it, the world would plunge into eternal darkness and death; light and heat, and so on...

The sun is too important; the world will not allow such a crucial position to be manipulated by spiritual intelligence. What is needed is a constant, unchanging sunrise and sunset. Unlike the moon, which at most causes tides, the sun represents the origin of all operating rules.

That's why the world struck a deal with the Celestial Emperor. And the ten Golden Crows understood that regardless of whether the Celestial Emperor agreed or not, they were doomed. The authority of the sun had to be surrendered, and without it, how would they cope?

This is how the nine golden crows transformed into a cave-like heaven, while the eldest prince gathered all his authority and merged with nature, hanging on the edge of the sky, repeating over and over again. As for the cave-like heaven's inability to contain spiritual intelligence, one can experiment and find loopholes, but none of this is absolute. But whoever becomes the sun will have their spiritual intelligence erased, which is certain. Anyone who is not a fool can understand the decision.

Once Lu Wu explained it, all the seemingly illogical situations fell into place, and the underlying motivation became clear. How should I put it? It made perfect sense. It was much easier to understand than the idea of ​​a family that loved each other and built each other up. This was more in line with common sense, more in line with their understanding.

However, a new problem had arisen. The nine caves transformed by the Golden Crow were likely to retain some consciousness, making the Mirage Dragon's plan to seize them considerably more difficult.

But then he thought, what's there to be afraid of? They have Su Mu. Even a Heavenly Emperor in his prime wouldn't have gotten away with it, so how could he be afraid of him now that he's half-crippled and has a bunch of weak-minded cave heavens? The main reason was that the benefits were too great to give up. That was a complete cave heaven, and the rules of the world within were complete. While it couldn't compare to the real world, it was still of great benefit to them.

Su Mu shared the same thought. He had no idea what realm he would reach after that; plans couldn't keep up with change. He'd already achieved the Celestial Immortal he'd originally planned for at the Immaculate Realm, so he had no idea what to do with the remaining realm. But there was definitely a path forward. For someone like Su Mu, intuition was almost as good as precognition. So, if it existed, but he hadn't found it, he'd just have to keep looking.

After hearing the secret, everyone's gaze returned to Cao Chen. The pressure returned. Cao Chen wiped the sweat from his brow and said sheepishly, "I'll try my best, I'll try my best. But I need to prepare a bit, and I need some mediums."

"This isn't human, so finding it will be relatively more difficult. But there's no need to worry too much; precisely because it's not human, there's no need to worry about being discovered or retaliated against."

Cao Chen explained to everyone. He was an expert in this field, and he was very confident in himself. However, his explanation was a bit redundant, as a group of people didn't quite understand.

"Media? What kind of media?"

"Ideally, you should be the last person to come into contact with those nine doors."

When everyone heard this, they once again looked at Lu Wu.
