Ling Chuxi’s mind went completely blank. Huangfu Qingjue’s lips were exquisitely gentle against her own, and she slowly closed her eyes and immersed herself in the tenderness. It seemed like they had traversed universes, and a thousand years of reincarnation had passed. After a while, they both finally separated.
Leaning into Huangfu Qingjue’s arms, Ling Chuxi’s heart was beating wildly, but she also felt a safety and security she hadn’t felt before.
“I’ll tell you everything you want to know.” Huangfu Qingjue sat down with Ling Chuxi in his arms, and said softly.
Ling Chuxi did have a lot of questions on her mind, mostly about Huangfu Qingjue’s identity and the Gongxi clan from before.
“What was going on with that Gongxi Kuangdao guy earlier?” Ling Chuxi asked finally.
“The Gongxi clan are members of the devil race. They travelled to another space tens of thousands of years ago,” Huangfu Qingjue said quietly.
“Devil race?” Ling Chuxi asked in surprise. It was the first time she had heard of such an existence.
“The current countries in the mainland and the Sacred Realm of Sects are mostly composed of humans, with some from the monster beast clan as well. However, in ancient times, the mainland races were not that simple,” Huangfu Qingjue began, looking thoughtful.
“You mean, besides humans and monster beasts, there were other races?” Ling Chuxi asked in disbelief.
“Yes. The continent at that time had spiritual qi that was a hundred times more abundant, and as a result, thousands of different races were born. They competed endlessly with each other, and after thousands of years of chaos and disputes, the various races either destroyed or merged with each other, leaving only the strongest races behind. These races were the human race, demon race, devil race, spirit race, nether race, and divine race. They all have different physiques, as well as their own specialized martial art skills. The monster beast clan you know can’t be compared with the real demon race. They are merely side branches left by the demon race and are not as powerful as the true demon race,” Huangfu Qingjue explained patiently. Fortunately, Little Red had left, otherwise he would probably be jumping up and down in protest when he heard this.
“Those so-called aristocratic families were actually established by the strongest among those races then?” Ling Chuxi guessed.
“Yes, the strongest branch of each race is called the royal family, such as the demon emperor, the human emperor, devil emperor, and so on. My Huangfu family is the divine emperor of the divine clan.” Huangfu Qingjue nodded slightly, his tone unusually casual.
“Why did those races go to other dimensions?” Ling Chuxi asked earnestly. This continent actually had such a rich and complex history! If it wasn’t Huangfu Qingjue talking, she would really have thought she was listening to myths.
“Later on, the mainland’s spiritual qi slowly weakened. In order to grab the treasured grounds with more spiritual qi to maintain their status, the battles between the major races intensified. All the top notch experts of the major races took action and finally caused a destructive battle that shook heaven and earth.
After the war, the continent was divided into dozens of different dimensions, and the spiritual power of those dimensions was either very strong or very weak. Of course, several major races suffered huge casualties, and were no longer willing to continue fighting. Fortunately, after the battles, the surviving races separated themselves and chose their respective dimensions according to their ranking of strength.
The continent where we are now was the dimension chosen by the human race, and the monster beast race had to stay here because of the heavy casualties to their stronger people, making them unable to leave.”
