Eternal Sacred King

Translator: Legge

Everyone turned to Lin Xuanji.

Judging from the meaning of the old man, there was a high chance that the position of the next generation's storyteller would be passed down to Lin Xuanji!

"Old man, you're in such a good condition. You don't have to rush to tell me these things,"

Lin Xuanji mumbled, "I'm still young right now and can't take on such a huge responsibility."

The storyteller said, "Every man has his troubles. Although I can divine everything, I can't divine how long I can live."

"Some things are better said beforehand."

"Old man, stop it. That sounds ominous,"

Lin Xuanji frowned again.

Although he was always cheeky and impolite towards the storyteller, the latter was his kin in his heart!

The storyteller smiled and reminisced. "I've taken in four disciples in my life and arranged you guys in the order of Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang. Heavenly Secrets was your eldest senior brother."

"Among the four of you, Heavenly Secrets was the most talented and cultivated the fastest. Be it in combat strength or intelligence, he was far superior to you guys."

Lin Xuanji nodded. "Senior Brother is indeed stronger than me."

"The four of you have different personalities. Heavenly Secrets has a calm personality and was the most mature. Di Ji is a little rigid and orderly, not understanding how to adapt. Huang Ji is honest and kind-hearted. As for you…"

The old storyteller looked at Lin Xuanji and paused for a moment. "Your personality is the most similar to mine, wild and cynical."

"Normally speaking, the most suitable successor to inherit the position of storyteller should be Heavenly Secrets."

"Unfortunately, a moment of neglect from me and he veered onto the wrong path, resulting in a state of no return."

At the mention of Heavenly Secrets, the storyteller's eyes still revealed a hint of sadness.

No matter what, Heavenly Secrets was his eldest disciple and his intelligence, personality, talent and combat strength far surpassed Lin Xuanji and the other two.

The storyteller had high hopes for Heavenly Secrets as well.

To think that in order to cultivate the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra, Heavenly Secrets schemed against all the experts in the world and created rivers of blood in the battle of Heaven and Earth Valley!

"Senior, traces of the primordial races have appeared on Tianhuang Mainland all these years and they are restless. It's best for the cultivation world to make preparations beforehand,"

Su Zimo could not help but say.

The storyteller did not reply and glanced sideways. "I'm sure you must be very disappointed with the various major sects and factions of the cultivation world, right?"

Su Zimo did not say anything but it was a silent acknowledgement.

He had experienced many things all these years. The current cultivators no longer had the same tough stance towards the primordial races. Instead, they were filled with fear.

Southern Duel Sect of the South Region was destroyed by the Blood Vine race but none of the super sects appeared!

Nobody was willing to get involved unless they were personally injured.

However, if the major sects and factions maintained the same attitude, the primordial races would leave the forbidden grounds sooner or later to invade and kill everywhere in Tianhuang Mainland. At that time, who could avoid them?!

No egg could remain whole if the nest was overturned!

"Actually, it's not their fault,"

The storyteller said, "Firstly, humans have never been threatened for a long time in history. Given such an environment, they will naturally shy from battle."

"Secondly, the fortune of the human race has indeed fallen in this generation. Be it Mahayana Patriarchs or Emperors, the number of them is far less than in the ancient era."

"Some super sects don't even have Emperors backing them! There's no way they can fight against the primordial races head-on."

Su Zimo nodded.

Dapamkara Monastery was one of them.

The storyteller continued, "Thirdly and most importantly, the current cultivation world lacks a supreme expert that can lead the human race!"

"In the ancient era, there was a supreme expert like the Human Emperor. When he called upon the other Emperors to gather, none of them would dare to disobey someone like him!"

"But now, the human race lacks an expert as such,"

Su Zimo gradually understood.

The only way of battling the primordial races was by gathering the Emperors of the world together.

However, what sort of people were the Emperors?

All of them were top existences in Tianhuang Mainland!

Without a supreme expert who could suppress and call upon the entire world, who would be willing to bow down?

"Senior, even you can't do it?"

Su Zimo asked.

"No,"

The storyteller shook his head. "Be it in terms of reputation or combat strength, I'm far from that."

"As the storyteller of Enigma Palace, I might be able to gather some Emperors. However, we'll most likely be doomed if we go against the primordial races."

Su Zimo frowned deeply with a heavy heart.

In that case, there was a high chance that the human race would be suppressed completely if the primordial races joined forces and launched an unprecedented war against the human race!

At that time, the primordial races would regain control of Tianhuang Mainland.

Similar to the primordial era, humans would be enslaved and treated as food without freedom.

The storyteller thought for a moment and continued, "Of course, you guys don't have to be overly pessimistic."

"There are still some variables in this generation after all."

With that said, he smiled and looked at Su Zimo.

"Me?"

Su Zimo froze for a moment.

The storyteller nodded. "Firstly, you have a clone that cultivates in the Dragon race and has a noble status as the young master of the Dragon race."

"I believe that with your temperament, if the human race is in trouble, your Dragon Phoenix True Body will definitely not sit by idly."

Su Zimo nodded.

If the human race was truly in trouble, the Dragon Phoenix True Body would do his best to persuade the Dragon race to help the human race!

The storyteller continued, "Secondly, the birth of the taboos!"

"Two out of three of the great taboos of the primordial era have appeared. Furthermore, right now, both of them are on the side of the human race. Their only weakness is that they have truly yet to grow."

Su Zimo did not reply.

Actually, there was a high chance this generation would be an unprecedented situation where three primordial taboos were gathered!

If they had enough time and the three primordial taboos grew, the primordial races would definitely have no chance of winning!

Unfortunately, the primordial races would not give them much time.

"There's a third variable,"

The storyteller looked at Su Zimo and paused for a moment.

Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.

Could the storyteller have divined the existence of the Martial Dao Prime Body?

Actually, the Martial Dao Prime Body was the greatest variable!

After a brief pause, he continued, "The third variable is you! In this generation, the human race lacks a supreme expert that can command the world!"

"Your body has fused perfectly with the Creation Green Lotus and your future accomplishments are unpredictable!"

At that point, Su Zimo was certain that the storyteller still did not know of the existence of the Martial Dao Prime Body despite his divine powers.

"Senior, that's too much to hope for,"

Su Zimo laughed bitterly. "I've only just entered the Conjoint Body realm and I'm not even a Half-Martial Ancestor, let alone someone who can command the world and make Emperors submit to my orders."

"That's why it's a variable!"

The storyteller said, "The battle between the primordial races and humans is inevitable in this generation. If you can grow into a peerless expert before that, the fate of the human race will change because of that!"

"You once altered the fate of all living beings. I hope that you can do the same for humans!"
