Chapter 268 Speculation
"Principal? I was a principal for 30 years. How did you know?"
"Old Principal, my name is Xiao Weiqing, a student of Luojiang Academy, who enrolled in 2122."
Xie Zhiyuan: "..."
"Aren't you called Qin Weixiao?"
"This...hehe...former name, former name."
"Then how did you get into this state?"
"They've even ventured into the demon realm?"
"A demonic realm?"
Xiao Weiqing was dumbfounded. Why were they directly attacking the Demon Realm?
"That's right, the Demon Realm."
Xie Zhiyuan affirmed.
Xiao Weiqing remembered that their former principal of Luojiang Academy had indeed disappeared in the demon realm for many years and his whereabouts were unknown.
"Uh... Headmaster, do you know how to get out?"
"Shall we go back to Earth sometime and take a look?"
Xie Zhiyuan tore off a huge chicken leg, ate it heartily, and after a few bites said:
"Do you think I wouldn't go back to Earth if I could?"
"I've been in the Demon Realm for 15 years, and I've never encountered the entrance to the Demon Realm even once. Instead, I'm often hunted down by the Demon Lord."
"..."
Xie Zhiyuan added, "Compared to going back to Earth, I think you should take care of your health first. If this continues, you'll die."
Xiao Weiqing's face darkened. He knew his condition: multiple fractures throughout his body and severe injuries to his internal organs. It was already a miracle that he had survived.
If that were all, it would be fine, but the key issue is that his spiritual veins are now shattered, and the energy within his body is leaking out uncontrollably.
If his spiritual veins cannot be repaired, even if he recovers from his injuries, he will be crippled.
After Xie Zhiyuan finished eating and drinking, he placed his hand on Xiao Weiqing's chest. Since Xiao Weiqing was a member of the Great Xia Dynasty and a member of the Luojiang Academy, Xie Zhiyuan could not watch him die.
"Your physical injuries are manageable, but your spiritual meridians..."
Xie Zhiyuan shook his head, his brows furrowed.
"Xiao Weiqing, what happened to you?"
"He was injured by the Azure Dragon Envoy."
"The Azure Dragon Envoy?"
Xie Zhiyuan's voice turned cold, and a murderous aura flashed across his face.
"That's right."
Xiao Weiqing briefly explained his situation.
Xie Zhiyuan became increasingly alarmed as he listened, and his eyes grew brighter with each word.
"You mean, your extraordinary talent has reached level 9?"
"Um."
Xie Zhiyuan stood up, paced around the cave, and fell into thought.
"In that case, I can't abandon you."
The second person on Blue Star to upgrade their extraordinary talent to level 9 could very well be the next Dongfang Hao.
Upon hearing Xie Zhiyuan's words, Xiao Weiqing's eyes widened, and he quickly replied:
"Old headmaster, I'm your student! How could you possibly abandon me?"
Xie Zhiyuan said, "As I said, I'm often hunted down, so I usually don't stay in one place for too long."
"In your current state, even if we take you with us, we won't be able to escape. This is the Demon Realm; if we encounter a Demon Lord, you'll die even faster."
"What should we do then?"
Xiao Weiqing could barely walk, let alone run. The thing Pertz gave him was a one-time use item. He had nowhere else to go, and even if he could teleport again, there was no guarantee that he would return to Earth.
For a moment, Xiao Weiqing was plunged into despair.
"Sigh, old principal, if you ever return to Earth and see my teacher, Principal Ning, please remember to tell him about my situation and then tell my teacher not to blame you."
"Although you stood by and did not help, it is not your fault; I can only blame my bad luck."
Xie Zhiyuan: "..."
"You brat, are you trying to annoy me?"
"When did I ever say I wouldn't save you?"
"real?"
"Thank you, former principal."
Xie Zhiyuan glared at Xiao Weiqing and asked, "Ning Xing is your teacher?"
"Um."
After a few seconds of silence.
Xie Zhiyuan said, "Xiao Weiqing, in your current situation, if we go together, it's almost certain death. For so many years, I've been hunted down by three demon lords, and I don't know when they'll come knocking on my door."
"There is a solution that can not only heal your injuries but also enhance your strength. However, this method is just my personal idea and no one has ever put it into practice."
"Please tell me, old principal."
Xie Zhiyuan said, "Over the years, I have wandered among the various tribes of the demon race, and infiltrated the tribes of several demon gods, learning some things about civilization."
"According to the demon race, the specific reason for the formation of this place is unknown, located deep within the cosmic void of our Blue Star."
"Compared to other civilizations in the universe, we humans on Earth are still in our infancy, and no gods have been born."
"Star Lord! Old Headmaster, he's at the Star Lord realm."
Xiao Weiqing interrupted.
Xie Zhiyuan was somewhat surprised and asked:
"How did you come to know about the Star Lord realm?"
"That's what the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy said, and I also know that entering the Star Lord Realm requires the Primordial Divine Light."
"You even know about the Primordial Divine Light?"
Xie Zhiyuan exclaimed in surprise, "You know, it took me several brushes with death to learn these things from the demon race's documents."
"I also received one."
"What?"
"Say it again?"
Xiao Weiqing said, "Please don't get agitated, I didn't bring it back."
"The spirit goddess of Azure Dragon Island used the Azure Dragon Token to issue a mission, tricking me into seizing the Primordial Divine Light. But she didn't know that I had seen the Primordial Divine Light before that, and that it was related to becoming a god."
"Therefore, I did not bring the Primordial Divine Light back to Azure Dragon Island, and I destroyed the Azure Dragon Token. However, I was injured by the Azure Dragon Envoy and almost lost my life because of this."
Xie Zhiyuan nodded and said, "You did the right thing. If the Azure Dragon Temple obtains the Primordial Divine Light, the Azure Dragon Envoy may break through to the Ninth Realm and even reach the Star Lord Realm."
"At that time, the fate of Earth will be completely in his hands."
"Headmaster, what exactly is the story behind the four great temples of Blue Star?"
Xie Zhiyuan said, "I can't explain it either."
"All we know is that our Blue Star suddenly appeared in the sight of the demon race a hundred years ago, and the four great temples also descended upon Blue Star at that time."
"Looking back now, we were wrong. The four great temples appeared on Earth a long time ago. A hundred years ago, when the spiritual energy revived, we just happened to discover the temples, or rather, the temples just happened to be discovered by us."
"The temple already existed on Earth?"
Xiao Weiqing began to ponder Xie Zhiyuan's words.
"That's right."
"Very early, possibly as early as 7000 years ago."
"Thousands of years ago?"
"Um."
Do you know how humans came to be?
Xie Zhiyuan suddenly asked a question.
"what?"
Xiao Weiqing was a little confused; how did the conversation suddenly turn to the origins of humankind?
"Did they evolve from apes?"
"Maybe, but do you know that the evolution of us humans on Earth wasn't quite rational?"
Xiao Weiqing shook his head.
Which aspect are you referring to?
Xie Zhiyuan said, "Human evolution on Earth has been too fast and too smooth."
"Before the spiritual energy was restored, scientists on Earth often studied the origins of humankind. The more they studied, the more they discovered that the growth of Earth's people was quite extraordinary."
"It's as if it's all planned out; anything that threatens human evolution and survival will be inexplicably dealt with."
"The extinction of ancient dinosaurs, several ice ages, and the great floods that swept the globe. There are records of the great floods in the old era, as well as a few descriptions of gods. For example, our Great Xia has related myths."
"However, under such extremely harsh conditions, we humans evolved over millions of years to become the masters of the blue planet."
"Millions of years is nothing to a planet like Earth."
