Sheng Xiao nodded. He asked the clownfish, “What happened after that?”
“As the stars moved, the area of this world became larger and larger. Plants began to appear. Later, some small animals ran out of the Skysplit Tower. The animals reproduced on this continent, and the continent finally became lively. During that period, the continent was the world of the animals, and we also found the sea that was most suitable for us to live in.”
“Perhaps it was because the days in the sea were too comfortable, but we gradually forgot our ability to fly and walk, and became fish that could only swim in water. Later, because of the crustal movement, the sea we lived in became smaller and smaller. Gradually, it turned from a vast sea to a lake, and later, it shrank to the spring you see.”
Hearing this, Yu Huang immediately asked, “You’re saying that in the beginning, the animals ran out of the Skysplit Tower?”
“That’s right,” said the old clownfish. “The Sky Skysplit Tower is the center of this world. All intelligent creatures are sent into this world through there.”
Yu Huang narrowed her eyes.
The center of the world?
Sheng Xiao asked the clownfish, “Do you still remember when humans appeared?”
“Human?”
The old clownfish thought about it carefully and said, “I don’t remember the details. I only remember that one day, a person suddenly walked out from the sky. He sent a group of dark children to this world. At first, those children were chased and eaten by the demon beasts as food. At that time, I often saw children being chased all over the world by demon beasts. At that time, I thought those children were food given to the demon beasts by that person. Later, I found out that they were the most perfect intelligent species he chose.”
The old clownfish told Sheng Xiao, “I’ve lived in this world my entire life. I’ve seen the birth of countless living beings and their destruction. Only you humans have reproduced until now.” The old clownfish sighed with emotion. “You guys are so weak. You don’t have iron faces, sharp teeth, or sharp claws and wings, but you guys forced those ferocious demon beasts to have nowhere to escape and became the masters of this world…”
“Sigh, to be honest, if I hadn’t brought my people into the sea to live and forgotten my ability to live on land, perhaps our Blood Fish Clan would have become the masters of the continent…”
After hearing what the old clownfish said, Sheng Xiao really believed that the old clownfish knew many secrets about this world. He looked up at the vines on the tree and saw more than ten strings of Blood Goat Milk Fruits hanging on the tree. He suddenly said to the old clownfish, “Senior, if you can answer a few questions for me, I’m willing to pick all the remaining Blood Goat Milk Fruits for you to eat.”
The old clownfish and the rest nodded at the same time.
Sheng Xiao asked the first question. “What’s the name of the person who could enter and exit Skysplit Tower freely?”
The clownfish looked at the old clownfish in unison.
The old clownfish was stunned for a moment before saying, “I think… I think he was called the Holy Spirit… Holy Spirit Goldfeather.”
Upon hearing the surname ‘Goldfeather’, Yu Huang immediately thought of the founder of the Divine Realm Academy, Prime Master Goldfeather. She asked the old clownfish, “How did you know?”
The old clownfish said, “I remember that the group of children who first came to this world called him that.”
Holy Spirit Goldfeather.
So the Holy Spirit Continent was named after him?
Yu Huang then raised the second question. “Who is the Lord?”
“The Lord?” This time, without waiting for the old clownfish to answer, the group of clownfish chattered. “I know the Lord!”
“I also know the legend of the Lord as well!”
“I often hear those demon beasts mention the Lord!”
Yu Huang found them noisy, so she pointed at the clownfish that had stopped them at the start. “Little fellow, tell me.”
When the clownfish saw that Yu Huang had chosen her, it felt greatly satisfied. It told Yu Huang, “The Lord is the master of all demons. It is a majestic Fire Unicorn!”
Yu Huang turned to ask Sheng Xiao, “Have you ever heard of this person… this demon?”
Sheng Xiao replied thoughtfully, “I remember seeing information about the Fire Unicorn in a book that records the War of Freedom.” Ten thousand years ago, the humans, merfolk, elves, and beastmen joined forces to resist the demon beasts and successfully forced them into the abyss. That battle was called the War of Freedom by the beast tamers.
“Ten thousand years ago, the Fire Unicorn was once the super demon beast with the strongest demonic power on the Holy Spirit Continent. At that time, the demon beast was the ruler, so the Fire Unicorn was also the number one expert in the world. According to records, when the four races joined forces to suppress the demon beasts, in order to protect its subjects, the Fire Unicorn gave its subjects a place to rest. It knelt down in public and surrendered. It took the initiative to dig out the Monster Core and offer it to Prime Master Goldfeather to express its sincerity.”
