NOVPUBChapter 1233: Chapter 987 Shocking News_2 Chapter 1233: Chapter 987 Shocking News_2 Furthermore, since the leader of the Acquired Divine Race had been merely observing the battle without intervening, it was clear that his strength must not be underestimated. To become the leader of the Acquired Divine Race, his power was certainly remarkable. It could be said that even among the cultivators at the peak of the Divine Realm Practitioners, he was exceptionally strong. No matter how one looked at it, the outcome for his father, the Divine Emperor, seemed grim at best.
But deep down, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.
What if his father was unharmed?
His father was an ancient spirit from the era of creation, a top-tier warrior amongst countless members of the Innate Divine Race. So many of these godly beings, possessing nine-patterned Godhood and defying the heavens, had fallen, yet his father had survived to become the emperor of all Innate Divine Clans. His methods were surely extraordinary.
Perhaps, this time, his father had survived as well?
“His Majesty the Divine Emperor, he…” Upon hearing Lin Yun’s inquiry, a struggle flashed across Zhong Stone’s expression.
This information was an absolute secret among the Innate Divine Race. If he hadn’t been a noble within the Innate Divine Race, and if the situation hadn’t been so critical, he would never have known this secret.
Reason told him that he must not casually disclose this information to other cultivators, even if the cultivator before him was his master, possibly a powerful member of the Innate Divine Race in a previous life, and in this life was still sworn enemies with those cultivators of the Acquired Divine Race.
Yet, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he needed to get it off his chest.
“What? The Divine Emperor is alright?” Seeing Zhong Stone’s reaction, Lin Yun became somewhat agitated and quickly exerted more influence from the Heavenly Principle Tower over Zhong Stone’s enslavement.
As Lin Yun covertly exerted pressure, the struggle in Zhong Stone’s expression was quickly suppressed. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep tone, “If I tell senior this, you must promise Zhong Stone to never reveal it!”
“Fine, speak. I won’t disclose this matter,” Lin Yun said with a serious demeanor, nodding slightly as he spoke.
“Recently, the Blue Lotus God Monarch said that His Majesty the Divine Emperor had left behind a single droplet of his essence blood. However, the consciousness within this essence blood was severely damaged and could not facilitate a quick revival of His Majesty. Now, the consciousness within this droplet is gradually awakening…” Zhong Stone’s face shifted unpredictably as he spoke gravely.
The Blue Lotus God Monarch was one of the steadfast Peak Divine Realm Practitioners remaining from the Innate Divine Race.
It was clear from his demeanor while speaking that he was struggling intensely, as this matter was of monumental importance. It pertained to whether or not their Innate Divine Race could rise again.
If the Acquired Divine Race’s cultivators learned of this, they would surely launch a major assault against them. Over the years, they were not unaware that the higher echelons of the Acquired Divine Race had not taken drastic actions against them, not because they feared self-injury but because they wanted to apply pressure gradually, attempting to subjugate them.
Recently, two of their Peak Divine Realm powers had been subdued by the enemy in this manner.
However, if the enemy knew that their Divine Emperor still had a chance of resurrection, they would likely not wait any longer, because once the Divine Emperor revived, he could possibly reunify the hearts of the remaining Innate Divine Race.
“What! What did you say?!” Lin Yun’s face drastically changed upon hearing Zhong Stone’s words, and he suddenly dashed to Zhong Stone’s side, grabbed the collar of his chest, and exclaimed in shock.
His father had left a droplet of essence blood capable of resurrection?
Lin Yun’s voice trembled.
This meant that, with enough resources, his father could be reborn and return to his original realm. If he had not lost his magical treasures and other trump cards, regaining his original strength would not be difficult.
Of course, returning to his original state of power was secondary. The important thing was that his father was not dead and could be revived.
“Senior, you…” Seeing Lin Yun’s intense reaction, Zhong Stone’s face also changed, and he voiced his fear.
The sliver of enslavement power didn’t come from the spirit of the Heavenly Principle Tower, but was controlled by Lin Yun. As Lin Yun grew agitated, the effect of the enslavement power weakened considerably, allowing Zhong Stone’s mind to clear significantly.
Even though he didn’t realize it was because of Lin Yun’s manipulations, he was frightened by the revelation he had just made, having divulged astonishing news.
According to the Blue Lotus God Monarch, not even the few Peak Divine Realm Practitioners who had previously departed were aware of this matter; only the Blue Lotus God Monarch knew of it.
It was only recently that the Blue Lotus God Monarch had informed them of this matter because their morale had become severely scattered. Even so, the Blue Lotus God Monarch only shared this information with cultivators among them who had greater talent and potential.
The average members of the Innate Divine Race at the level of the Divine Domain Realm were not told.
At this moment, he had unexpectedly let this information slip, and at that instant, remorse secretly crept into Zhong Stone’s heart.
“Is this matter true or false?” Lin Yun’s gaze fixed intently on Zhong Stone as he asked, his voice firm. While speaking, the threads of enslaving force were once again activated by him, and he also carefully gauged Zhong Stone’s reactions as he spoke.
“This matter was relayed by the Blue Lotus God Monarch personally; as for whether it’s true or false, probably only the Blue Lotus God Monarch knows…” With things having reached this point, there was no longer any possibility of concealment, so he could only continue, Zhong Stone said with a bitter smile in his heart, pausing for a moment before speaking.
However, subconsciously, he still didn’t make the matter sound too certain. Although, he originally couldn’t be certain about the matter himself, the way he spoke clearly showed his subconscious desire to keep it hidden.
Otherwise, he could have easily stated that the matter was absolutely true and indeed spoken by the Blue Lotus God Monarch.
“Blue Lotus God Monarch…” Lin Yun frowned slightly.
He began to recall this formidable being, the Blue Lotus God Monarch.
Truth be told, he had not had much interaction with the Blue Lotus God Monarch, mainly because the Blue Lotus God Monarch rarely appeared in public and spent most of his time in seclusion. Lin Yun only knew that the Blue Lotus God Monarch’s strength was formidable among the peak Divine Realm powerhouses and that even his Divine Emperor father held him in high esteem.
Moreover, the Blue Lotus God Monarch had a good relationship with his father. Perhaps it was related to the fact that the other was also one of the original Innate Divine Spirits that had existed since the creation of the heavens and the earth; back then, he was a chaos-born Blue Lotus.
At that time, he had become acquainted with his father, and later on, when his father rose to become the Emperor of the Innate Divine Spirits, it had a lot to do with the great assistance of the Blue Lotus God Monarch.
According to what his father once told him, if he had to say which one of his subordinates or friends was the most reliable, it was undoubtedly the Blue Lotus God Monarch.
“Before the Blue Lotus God Monarch informed you, did other peak Divine Realm powerhouses also know about this?” With this thought in mind, Lin Yun lifted his gaze again to look at Zhong Stone and inquired.
“According to the Blue Lotus God Monarch, the other peak Divine Realm powerhouses were not privy to this information, just like those who later left the Innate Divine Race to join the Acquired Divine Race. Otherwise, the Acquired Divine Clans would have known about this matter long ago. However, after the Blue Lotus God Monarch mentioned it, many cultivators among us, Innate Divine Spirits, became aware…” Zhong Stone shook his head as he spoke.
Lin Yun’s expression changed.
There’s always a risk when too many people know something. Now, within the Innate Divine Race, many cultivators were privy to this information. So, how much longer could it remain a secret?
If the upper echelons of the Acquired Divine Race were to discover this, would they launch a major attack on the Innate Divine Race?
However, even if the upper echelons of the Acquired Divine Race learned of this matter, they probably wouldn’t act rashly without knowing the whereabouts of that drop of divine blood.
For a moment, Lin Yun’s thoughts were fluctuating, on the one hand, deducing all the possible outcomes, and on the other hand, worried for the safety of his father.
“Ultimately, whether what the Blue Lotus God Monarch said is true or false, or whether he has some other purpose…” After a moment, Lin Yun forcibly suppressed the agitation in his heart and pondered with a slight frown.
At this time, Lin Yun noticed that Zhong Stone, still sitting opposite him, looked visibly uneasy.
He sighed softly in his heart.
Through several exchanges, he had come to confirm that Zhong Stone’s character was indeed commendable.
Come to think of it, it would have been difficult for someone without a good character to endure until now.
“You need not worry too much. Since the Blue Lotus God Monarch has told so many of you, it seems he must have been prepared for the day when the news would leak out, or even more so, he could have deliberately disclosed this information, wanting someone among you to leak it out…” Lin Yun consoled the other party.
“What? How is that possible?” Zhong Stone was taken aback and exclaimed in disbelief.
