Rebirth: City Sovereign

There was a long silence.    

Ye Kai quietly stared at the oldest and strongest Black God Clan in front of him and did not say a single word.    

Although the Myriad Tribulation Heavenly Thunder knew that it was a step that it had to take before it could ascend to become a god, Ye Kai clearly wasn't prepared for how it could pass this step.    

"I understand everything you've said." After a moment, Ye Kai asked.    

"But, what does this have to do with your soul splitting into two?"    

"After my ascension failed, my physical body was destroyed, and only my undamaged soul remained within my God Clan Continent. Only by relying on the possession of an almost dead body of Black God Clan could I barely survive."    

"Other than me, nearly all of my Black God Clan have been sealed under the God Clan Continent. I have been thinking, why would I be annihilated by the lightning tribulation, and my flesh be destroyed?"    

"I'm lost, and my heart is tangled, unable to understand."    

"Is what I did right or wrong? Why can't I ascend through the tribulation? Why did I become a Black God Clan?"    

"Since I want to live a peaceful life, I will stay far away from war and strife. After all, the Black God Clan has been completely buried underground and the war has ended. From now on, it's not bad to live as an ordinary cultivator."    

"However, there is another voice in my body that keeps telling me that I haven't succeeded in ascending. How can I give up just like that?"    

"I'm almost psychotic. I live every day and every night in pain. I can't help myself."    

"Finally, one day, I thought of a way."    

"Separate the rational part of your body from the perceptive part, right?" Ye Kai immediately thought.    

"That's right. I want to ascend to the Divine level, but I can't accept it. I want to take revenge on my own part of the Divine Soul and separate it from the current part of my Divine Soul."    

"My entire soul was split into two, and I gained tranquility. I changed my name to Huan Tian, and I lived in the depths of this Hee Family."    

"As for that portion of the divine soul that I separated, it was drifting within the God Clan Continent."    

As Huan Tian said till this point, he revealed an extremely vexed expression.    

"Originally, these two parts of the soul should have been controlled by me. That part was only a small part, and couldn't even be considered a divine soul clone. It didn't even have a Autonomous Consciousness, and should have quickly died out."    

"Only, I didn't expect that over the course of tens of thousands of years, he would gradually absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, and finally form a complete soul."    

"You know what happened after that."    

"After his soul was complete, he possessed the body of the Hee Family genius back then, Hee Yan. He controlled his mind, directed him, controlled him to search for Sovereign Precious Artifact, found the Great Seal of the God of Heaven, created the God Burial Palace, and laid the foundation for the recovery of the Black God Clan …"    

"Rather than say it's the other half of my soul, it's more accurate to say that the current new generation of Holy Sovereign Di Huang is like the evil thoughts in my heart, the resulting demons …"    

When Upper Immortal Huan Tian said this, he closed his eyes and revealed an extremely pained expression. It was probably because he was still upset over his previous actions.    

But just at this moment, Ye Kai's somewhat suspicious voice travelled into his ears.    

"That's not right."    

"There's a problem."    

"What?" Upper Immortal Huan Tian's face revealed a doubt as he asked.    

"Are you sure that the Empyrean Gods have ascended to become Deities, leaving this universe?"    

Huan Tian froze for a moment, with a 'what are you saying' expression on his face.    

Ye Kai stepped forward, looked straight at Upper Immortal Huan Tian, and asked.    

"You were the closest to the God of Heaven. You should still remember what happened, right?"    

"This... When the lightning flashed, I was fighting against it. The first lightning bolt destroyed my body, but the God of Heaven was submerged within it without any reaction. "    

"And then, after a few more flashes of lightning, the God of Heaven disappeared."    

"At that time, the God Clan and people present all believed that the Heavenly God had passed the tribulation lightning and ascended."    

Ye Kai asked again.    

"How many?"    

"What?"    

"I asked you how many bolts of lightning there were."    

Whether it was his seniority or cultivation, he was clearly above the other race in front of him. However, within the Illusory Tianxin, there was a sense of fear, and he could not help but subconsciously answer Ye Kai's question.    

"It's been too long, I can't remember." He tried to remember as he answered.    

"Four, or five? In any case, there should not be more than five lightning tribulations. "    

After hearing this, Ye Kai fell into deep thought.    

He was born to the greater forces of the universe. He gathered the energy of heaven and earth, and although he did not ascend to become a god, he was very clear on the situation where one ascended through heavenly tribulation.    

With his memory from the universe, he could understand that from tens of thousands of years ago until now, from the appearance of the first Deity Cultivator, no Deity Cultivator had successfully flown past the Myriad Tribulation Heavenly Thunder.    

It was the same for the God of Heaven, who was said to have inherited all her God Clan.    

Thinking about it here, Ye Kai coldly said as he looked at Upper Immortal Huan Tian.    

"The Myriad Tribulation Heavenly Thunder are divided into Tian Tribulation and Great Heavenly Tribulation. Tian Calamity, nine of them. There are a total of eighteen of them. Only by using one's physical body to withstand these eighteen bolts of divine lightning will one be able to ascend into the Divine Realm."    

"This... How do you know such things? "    

What Ye Kai had said had completely exceeded his understanding and understanding for tens of thousands of years.    

It was not only him, but all the God Clan s, Black God Clan s and even Twelve Saints s who lived in this God Clan Continent, as long as there was even the slightest bit of existence related to God Clan, they all knew that the God Clan once had an ancient god. He defeated countless Black God Clan Army and sealed them completely with the seal of the gods, then passed through the tribulation of thunder and ascended into a god, leaving the shackles of the universe.    

It was even to the extent that the name God Clan was changed from the clan the primordial god resided in to God Clan because the clan it belonged to was proud.    

Yet now, this alien in front of him was telling him that he had never succeeded in ascending to the Empyrean God level?    

How could the Upper Immortal Huan Tian accept this?    

"This, not only do I see this, even the ancient books also read this …"    

"The ages of those ancient books aren't even as long as your lifespan. They're simply not to be trusted." Before he even finished speaking, Ye Kai had already denied it.    

"The ancient books are only the records of the God Clan. I only ask you this, were there any 18 of the thunder tribulations?"    

Upper Immortal Huan Tian's expression was dull, after pondering for a moment, he shook his head.    

"No, absolutely not."    

"Although I cannot remember the exact number, I am certain that not to mention eighteen, there is not even nine bolts of heavenly lightning."    

After hearing this, Ye Kai was even more certain of what he was thinking.    

Indeed, that Ancient Heavenly God in front of him and that Upper Immortal Huan Tian had yet to pass the test of heavenly lightning.    

However, the Upper Immortal Huan Tian was not even able to endure a single bolt of heavenly lightning. His body was directly smashed into pieces, while the god had to endure four or five bolts of heavenly lightning before his body was finally unable to withstand it anymore.    

When the two were compared, those God Clan who did not know the exact number of heavenly thunders thought that the Heavenly God Ascension was a success.    

"What do you remember? Anything was fine with the situation then." Ye Kai asked again, trying to gather more information.    

"I really don't remember." Upper Immortal Huan Tian just shook his head.    

"I only remember that after a few claps of divine lightning, white light flashed and I fell into a coma. When I woke up again, there was only my soul left, and those God Clan and the Black God Clan s had all disappeared …"    

Although he did not know the basis for Ye Kai's eighteen strikes of heavenly lightning, Huan Tian's intuition told him that the words spoken by this outsider in front of him were all true.    

Then, had the "god", who hadn't even passed through the first nine Tian Tribulations, been struck to death by the lightning tribulation just like that?    

Ye Kai didn't think so.    

If the Upper Immortal Huan Tian was able to escape after his physical body was destroyed, then how could the "god" who was stronger than the Upper Immortal Huan Tian die so easily?    

Or, for the next tens of thousands of years, the Empyrean God was severely injured by the thunder tribulation and fell into a deep slumber.    

But what was more likely was that he had escaped the range of the thunder tribulation, preserved his physical body and soul, and survived in one piece.    

"Interesting." As Ye Kai thought about this, the corner of his mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile.    

There were more and more things that made him interested in this trip to the God Clan Continent.    

If everything he had guessed was as he expected, then what was very likely was that after tens of thousands of years had passed, that male God Clan who had failed to ascend, was reputed to be a god …    

He had been hiding somewhere within the God Clan Continent!
