NOVPUBChapter 1232: 987 Chapter 1232: 987 “The Innate Divine Race, the situation now…” Zhong Stone fell silent.
By right, such matters, he shouldn’t discuss with outsiders easily, although Lin Yun had said he was from the Innate Divine Race in a past life, who could know if it was true? If it were an enemy intentionally saying so, trying to extract information from him, then if he spoke of things he shouldn’t, that would be a huge pitfall!
Moreover, the other was of the Innate Divine Race but ultimately, that was in a past life. In this life, he is truly a member of the Acquired Divine Race, having climbed up step by step from an ordinary Cultivator to become a member of the Acquired Divine Race!
Who knew where his heart truly lay?
However, for some reason, he felt an inexplicable trust towards the other, as though he could discuss anything with him.
In fact, he didn’t know that this was the result of the enslavement by the Heavenly Principle Tower, making the enslaved person naturally trust the master of the Heavenly Principle Tower. This trust persisted even though Lin Yun hadn’t actively controlled it; otherwise, Lin Yun could directly have the Heavenly Principle Tower alter Zhong Stone’s mind without issue.
Nonetheless, seeing that Zhong Stone was still persisting in resisting the Acquired Divine Race, and also because his character wasn’t bad, Lin Yun did not do so.
“I wonder when senior reincarnated? The situation for the Innate Divine Race is now dire, of the one hundred and eight sections of the Innate Divine Race, almost more than fifty sections have been completely annihilated, only a few remain. Of those remaining, more than thirty sections have defected to the Acquired Divine Race, leaving only twenty-one sections whose higher echelons are leading the remaining Innate Divine Race in struggling to hold on, but they are also close to the breaking point. We originally had five Divine Domain Realm Peak experts, and now only three remain…” At this point, Zhong Stone sighed and slowly continued.
“Are there still twenty-one sections of the Innate Divine Race holding on?” Lin Yun’s eyes lit up, he quickly asked.
This piece of information was somewhat better than he had expected. Back then, during the great war between the old and new divine clans, he was in closed-door cultivation. By the time he was aware of it, it had already progressed to the late stages.
At that time, the Acquired Divine Race had already become the dominant force, and the Innate Divine Race was in constant retreat. When he emerged from seclusion, the last great battle erupted. He didn’t get to understand much before witnessing a very tragic scene.
One by one, familiar powerhouses fell, including some of his brothers, sisters, friends, relatives, elders, and so on. He didn’t have time to learn more before he was targeted by two Divine Realm Practitioners at the Peak, severely wounded, and then sent by his Divine Emperor father into reincarnation.
Before entering reincarnation, he saw that his father had also reached the end of his strength.
At that time, he thought that with the situation having developed to such an extent, once his father and the other top Innate Divine Race experts fell, probably not many of the Innate Divine Race would remain.
He didn’t expect that so many would still be left.
“More than thirty sections of the Innate Divine Race defected to the Acquired Divine Race? Did they defect before the battle, or after it?” Pausing for a moment, Lin Yun’s pupils constricted slightly as he spoke in a grave tone.
He remembered that some Innate Divine Race members had defected to those Acquired Divine Clans right at the beginning of the war.
Often, the enemy is not the most hateful; it’s the traitors that are truly detestable. Although those Acquired Divine clansmen were also traitors, the Innate Divine Race and Acquired Divine Race were ultimately different, be it in the allocation of resources or status.
Moreover, if they are of a different race, their hearts must be different. The defection of those Acquired Divine Race members is somewhat understandable.
But as for the Innate Divine Race, his Divine Emperor father treated them very well.
If those Innate Divine Race members had defected to the enemy after the war, it could be understood, since even the tiniest creatures cling to life, let alone those of the Innate Divine Race, each endowed with endless life and supreme might, not wanting to die is quite normal.
However, if those Innate Divine Race members had defected before the war, that would truly be outright betrayal.
“Some defected before the battle, and some after…” Zhong Stone said.
Then, he recounted the tribes that had defected before the battle, those who had done so afterward, and some powerful strong beings, mentioning them one by one.
At this time, he also vaguely guessed that this senior probably fell before the war between the Innate Divine Race and the Acquired Divine Race had developed much, or to put it another way, the senior hadn’t participated much in it and didn’t know much about it.
He was just not sure how this senior had fallen in his past life.
“Splendid Flower God King, Thousand Eyes God Monarch, Golden Armor War God…” Lin Yun’s eyes narrowed slightly as he recited the names.
These names were the titles of the powerhouses mentioned by Zhong Stone, each of them the Divine Realm’s Peak powerhouses, the top experts of the Innate Divine Race who had defected to the Acquired Divine Race early on.
Such level of powerhouses were extremely rare even among countless divine beings. Being the crown prince of the Divine Clan and dealing with the high-ranks of the divine beings daily, he naturally recognized these powerhouses. In fact, he had had several dealings with both the Splendid Flower God King and Thousand Eyes God Monarch, and he had a very good impression of those two strong beings.
Unexpectedly, they had been the first to betray their Innate Divine Clan.
It truly is a case of “knowing the face but not the heart.” Although as cultivators they could sense the Mental Strength aura exuded by others and could discern some of the good and bad thoughts through this aura.
Still, there were inevitably oversights.
“By the way, Your Majesty the Divine Emperor…” Lin Yun thought of some things in his mind, finally, he looked up at Zhong Stone and started to speak.
As he said this, his expression couldn’t help but betray a hint of nervousness. Before he was sent into the cycle of reincarnation, he saw his father, the Divine Emperor, in a state where he was depleted of strength. At that time, there were many Divine Domain Realm Peak experts of the Acquired Divine Race still present, while their side of the Innate Divine Race’s Divine Realm Practitioners was already very few.
