Chapter 84 [Heavenly Secret]

"Well, what do you mean?" Chen Yan asked.

“The most suspicious thing is not the crimes that were rumored about Master Chen Jue; they are all completely false. The most suspicious thing is not these.

The most suspicious thing is that I've spent three years trying to figure out where Master Chen Jue has been or what he's been doing. It's as if he's completely disappeared since he was transferred from Luoyan Town. This is absolutely impossible!"

Su Yi breathed rapidly and gritted his teeth as he said, "When he was transferred from Luoyan Town, I, as a clerk in the Town Commander's Office, personally saw the documents from the 'War Department'! That document bears the seal of the Immortal Book personally set by the Venerable Lord who commands the War Department!

I concluded that he must have gone to another town after leaving Luoyan Town!
But I asked my comrades in the army to check the information. In all the immortal books and legal certificates of the War Department, including the Three Platforms, Eight Passes and Sixteen Towns, Chen Jue’s name could not be found at all!
No one knew where he was transferred to by the War Department after leaving Luoyan Town. And the records of him in the Immortal Book and the Dharma Certificates disappeared after Luoyan Town!

This also shows that the rumors about the town commander embezzling food supplies and killing the deputy general are simply rumors.

But in the end, it was as if this person had evaporated. No records could be found of his whereabouts or what he had done in those years. It was as if he had disappeared for decades and suddenly became infamous and everyone wanted to kill him.

Chen Yan's expression was solemn.

Indeed, very weird!

Su Yi's face was filled with a strange expression, and a hint of fear flashed through her eyes. She sighed softly, "So, I came up with a guess that's a bit scary when I think about it..."

As he spoke, even though he was clearly in a stone chamber in the mountainside without sunlight, the old fox couldn't help but look around, as if he was afraid of some existence in the dark.

"Fellow Daoist, it's only because we're not in the Realm right now. This world has its own laws of nature, and it's not under the jurisdiction of the Realm that I dare to tell you this." Su Yi sighed and whispered, "If we were in the Realm, I would never dare to mention this to you."

Hearing this, Chen Yan's heart also began to lift!
"Fellow Daoist, please think about this: if a person becomes notorious and is condemned by everyone... what are the prerequisites for this situation?"

Chen Yan thought for a moment: "The premise is... he did a lot of evil things?"

"No!" You Su Yi shook his head, then slowly said: "The premise is that this person is very famous! Famous throughout the world, known to everyone!"

Chen Yan's face suddenly changed!

He was a smart man and didn't understand it at first, but the old fox's words made him suddenly realize the key.

If you want to be notorious, you must first have a reputation!
If you want everyone to hate you, you must first let everyone know who you are!
The world would be in an uproar only if a top PC in the entertainment industry was arrested.

If it’s just a guy named Wang Ermaizi in the village who’s arrested… who the hell knows who you are?

In Chen Yan's real world, various online platforms and self-media platforms can make even an unknown person famous overnight. A short essay can make a stranger a trending topic overnight.

I guess there is no such thing as Tik Tok or Weibo in the domain world, let alone hot search headlines or anything like that.

So, if you want to make someone known to the world, it can’t be done overnight!

It must be the reputation that this person has accumulated over the years, passed on by word of mouth, and it took many years to spread throughout the domain, allowing everyone to know this person's name!
Chen Jue, this person, has not been recorded in any document for decades. It's as if he's been missing for decades, with no news of him... No one knows where he has been or what he has been doing for decades.

A person with zero name recognition, no online media in the domain… and yet suddenly becomes infamous and universally condemned… MAXIMUM name recognition? This is terrifying!

·
"I've thought about it, and the most likely possibility is... everyone in the domain already knows about Master Chen Jue's deeds. Master Chen Jue should have been very famous in the domain! But I've asked many people, humans, demons, ghosts... from the nobles to the pawns.

But no one I asked could tell me what Chen Jue had done in the past few decades.

I can't even describe this person's past reputation; I just inexplicably knew he was a great villain. Suddenly, in recent years, it became known that he was a heinous criminal, and his reputation became infamous, with everyone calling for his downfall.

The old fox said, suddenly pointing at her own nose: "I even doubt it, even I... I said I don't know where Master Chen Jue was and what he did during the decades we were apart...

Maybe, actually I know it, but the memories of these decades... have disappeared!

Because after decades of memory disappearing, I inexplicably only remember him as a great villain, and then I heard many rumors that he had committed many crimes..."

Chen Yan was silent for a while, then raised his head, his eyes flashing, and whispered: "Blocking the secret?"

Su Yi's body trembled!
She stared at Chen Yan for several seconds before sighing, "Fellow Daoist, you are indeed the descendant of a venerable master. You are a child of an aristocratic family with extraordinary knowledge. You guessed what I was thinking so quickly—that's right! After thinking it over, this is the only possibility."

Chen Yan thought, it's not that I'm exceptionally knowledgeable, nor am I the descendant of some venerable...

Actually, it’s because I, Mr. Chen, have also read a novel about a seafood merchant, and there is also a similar plot in it.

"To block the secrets of Heaven, let me... let everyone in the domain suddenly lose decades of memory of a person who was already famous. This kind of method must be taken by a great power, using the supreme method to modify the way of Heaven, in order to influence everyone in the domain!"

There was a hint of chill in Su Yi's voice: "No ordinary Venerable can do this kind of thing... unless the Great Venerable takes action personally!!"

Great Heavenly Lord?
Chen Yan frowned and asked, "What on earth did this Chen Jue do to cause the Great Celestial Venerable to personally intervene, blocking the Heavenly Secrets and reversing and blocking everyone's cognition?"

"I don't know about that." Su Yi said in a grim tone, "However, this method of shielding the secrets of heaven cannot be hidden from everyone. Above the rank of Venerable, that is, those in the Saint Rank, have already merged with the Dao and the Heavenly Dao. This method of shielding the secrets of heaven is useless to the Saint Rank.

So…in this realm, there are probably only forty-two people who know the truth now.”

Chen Yan nodded: "Thirty-six venerables, four earthly venerables, and two heavenly venerables."

“Yes, only these forty-two saintly beings standing above the clouds are unaffected by the heavenly shield and know the truth.

However, my status is not high enough, so it is impossible for me to tell you such a big secret that the Great Heavenly Venerable personally took action."

Chen Yan was silent for a while, thinking carefully in his heart, but couldn't think of anything.

But I have a guess.

Chen Jue once swore that if he ever broke through to become a saint, he would destroy the Heavenly Dao!
Perhaps his later fate was related to this oath?

The Great Celestial Venerable took action to block the secrets of heaven and change everyone's perception of Chen Jue... maybe this is also related?
