Chapter 399 - 365 Return to One
"Primordial Soil... So, who are your enemies?" Li Chengyi asked the most crucial question.
This was related to the dangers he might face in the future, after all, he had now inherited the Evil Flower.
"The enemy... does not come from the outside, but from within," Ye Lu sighed.
"The Primordial Soil exists within the Black Sea. Essentially, we are also a part of the Black Sea. Later, the Emperor, in his quest for eternity, madly plundered and waged war against all eternal existences... eventually leading to the Empire’s weakness and excessive losses. In the end, during a civil strife, it perished completely with both inside and outside forces working against it. This is, after all, a fate we brought upon ourselves."
"....." There really wasn’t much to say to that.
"Therefore, you need not worry about enemies. We are but remnants of the old Empire, and the Empire’s resources have long been devoured and divided by countless beings. The cosmic plants that absorbed everything have also long withered and shattered," Ye Lu continued, "Furthermore, the reason I manifested myself to prevent you from entering my mind is that, with your current willpower, you are probably unable to bear the residual memories within my mind."
"...How long have you been dead?" Li Chengyi frowned and asked, relieved that there were no enemies. He also casually inquired upon hearing that he couldn’t bear the memories.
"I died young, at about seventy thousand years old. You can tell by the appearance of my soul that in my clan, I was still considered a child," Ye Lu said helplessly.
"...Seventy thousand years..."
Li Chengyi felt even the entire history of his real world might not span seventy thousand years.
From the rise of humanity to stepping out of the planet, it took less than ten thousand years.
