Chapter 205 More Doubts

Who were the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?
This question remained unresolved even before the cataclysm, and debates among the public and academia had raged for a long time.

As for the answer to this question, the ancient sage king before us, who was the first of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the first among all kings, is of course the most authoritative person to answer.

Su Xun asked this question not only to satisfy his own curiosity, but also not to actually solve a historical problem.

A lot of information can be derived from this question.

Opportunities to ask a question to a tenth-order being are extremely rare, so he should not waste them. He should seize every opportunity to obtain information that is beneficial to his side.

Of course, it also depends on how the other party answers. This question can actually be glossed over, but since the Fuxi in front of us is willing to help this generation of humans, then the other party certainly won't do so.

"The so-called Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are just names that were given to us by later generations."

--us.

This means that there is more than one being like him. He regards those people as beings of the same level. Obviously, some names that have been passed down in ancient myths may be the natural disasters hidden on this land... or at least have some connection to the tenth level.

The mottled snake tail supported Fuxi's body as he walked to the pavilion, where the two women behind him also stood up.

Su Xun knew that the time for parting was approaching, and he and Tao Yue stood up together.

"In our time, there was no precise name to describe us." Fuxi raised his head and gazed at the sky. Su Xun followed his gaze and saw that behind the brilliance of the sun and moon, the stars still shone in the sky. They were placed in the unreachable high dome, covering all directions and watching over everything.

"That is……"

Fuxi did not answer his question, but continued on his own: "In the distant future, many people's titles actually overlapped, so it is difficult for me to answer who each of these titles refers to."

"There are twenty people in the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, isn't that normal?"

Su Xun was taken aback. This answer was completely beyond his expectations. He turned his head abruptly and could only see a slight smile on Fuxi's face.

Twenty people? Could there be twenty level ten beings among them? That's unrealistic! Even if the secret realm were to rise completely, the entire Earth couldn't accommodate so many high-level beings; they themselves would have a huge impact on the environment!

Moreover, if there really were so many Tier 10 beings, how could the humans of Earth in the previous life have perished in Oswell?
unless……

Are they not on Earth? Or... have they already passed away?

"Things are not as simple as you think."

Fuxi's voice remained gentle: "But it's not that complicated. I can't explain any more about our issues to you. However, as you travel further down this path, you will eventually understand everything behind it."

"I understand... Thank you."

A misty fog enveloped the surrounding scenery, obscuring the mountains and the vast pine forests, which all vanished into nothingness within it.

Are they illusions? Su Xun thought it might not be, but since it involves the power of the tenth rank, whether it is or not is no longer important.

As the fog drew closer, Fuxi didn't rush to say goodbye; instead, he turned to look at Tao Yue.

"We've talked so much already, but I haven't had a chance to talk to you yet."

"Ah no... no need, don't mind me!" Tao Yue's face even showed a hint of fear: "I, I don't have anything to talk about, I don't understand anything, I'm just a little karaomi, a mere accessory..."

“There’s no need to belittle yourself.” Fuxi raised his hand: “Each of you is remarkable.”

"Besides, you are the one who holds the 'ticket' this time, so let me do you a small favor."

A stream of light appeared from his fingertip and drifted toward the oracle bone in Tao Yue's hand. Tao Yue instinctively pulled the oracle bone to her chest to protect it, but this was only a subconscious reaction. Moreover, how could a second-level cultivator protect it? The stream of light landed directly on the oracle bone, and instantly, the oracle bone seemed to melt into a ball of liquid light, which entered Tao Yue's body, startling her so much that she closed her eyes.

"do not be afraid."

Fuxi gently reassured him, and Su Xun made no move. With the other party's strength, if they really wanted to harm someone, they wouldn't need to go through all this trouble. He simply watched the process with great interest.

The change happened in an instant. When Tao Yue opened her eyes again, they were filled with mysterious and unpredictable golden light patterns.

“Hey, this is…”

She glanced at Fuxi, who was smiling in front of her, then turned to look at Su Xun: "This seems to have become my special ability?"

Moreover, in Su Xun's perception, the opponent's strength also advanced from the second tier to the fourth tier in that instant. Of course, this improvement in strength was relatively insignificant.

More importantly, the precognitive ability inherent in the oracle bones was transformed into Tao Yue's special ability. This was the gift that Fuxi gave to Tao Yue, which was a very good thing, both for Tao Yue herself and for the army.

Oracle bones, as carriers of precognitive abilities, do not become stronger themselves, neither in terms of their energy level nor their prophetic abilities. Those who possess them can only continuously practice their proficiency in using them, which is ultimately inferior to supernatural abilities that are like instincts.

Now that Tao Yue possesses this ability, she has the potential for further development, and she no longer needs to worry about being killed and robbed—although within the military, this possibility was already extremely slim.

But that wasn't what Su Xun thought of at that moment; instead, it was...

What exactly are superpowers?
Is it even possible for it to be man-made?

Undoubtedly, if such a method could be replicated, it would obviously have great significance. He looked at Fuxi, who simply smiled without saying a word.

"We left something here that should be easy to find and will be of great help to you in the future."

Fuxi said, "Then farewell. I look forward to the day we meet again."

Even the small pavilion on the cliff edge where they were standing had disappeared, and thick fog surrounded them. Fuxi turned and left into the fog.

Su Xun responded and prepared to say goodbye, but then he saw the girl in the black dress raise her head and meet his eyes.

At that moment, Su Xun's heart skipped a beat, as if a gap in his memory had been suddenly filled.

This feeling lasted only a moment. The girl had already turned her head away. The three figures were already blurred and undetectable. He saw Fuxi raise his hand and pat the girl. The next moment, the three shadows completely disappeared.

But Su Xun stood there, stunned.

In just a blink of an eye, he could no longer clearly recall the girl's face, but even so, or rather, precisely because of this, Su Xun understood her identity almost instantly.

She is very likely the one known as 'Meng Po'. Obviously, with such power, she should be at the tenth level.

but……

Undoubtedly, this trip answered many of his questions, but it also gave rise to even more.

"Commander-in-Chief, that young lady was looking at you specifically just now—"

Tao Yue's voice came from beside me.

Do you think she might have feelings for you?

With a snap, Su Xun slapped her on the head.
