Chapter 951 - Immortal Monarch's Descendant
"Since it's confirmed that you have the Immortal Monarch's Bloodline, I must address you properly. It's only natural, as you're the Immortal Monarch's descendant." The Lord said.
"Just continue calling me Yuan. I don't like it when people suddenly change the way they address me. It feels awkward."
"I understand, Yuan." The Lord nodded.
"Anyways, I still have more questions."
"Ask away."
"Why are you responsible for the seal on Earth? Who decided that?"
"It was my decision and idea to accept the seal." The Lord said.
"Why? Your strength is sealed, and your energy is constantly being absorbed by the seal. Why would you agree to what is essentially constant torture?"
The Lord smiled and said, "Believe it or not, I do it because I love humans."
"Huh? What kind of nonsense is that?"
"I know, you probably think it's stupid. I am well aware of how cringe and typical my reasoning is, but it's the truth. Furthermore, I was born on Earth— at least before it got its name. Earth was a small part of First Heaven before, and it was my hometown."
Yuan sighed, "Well, I'm not going to make fun of your decision even though I find it ridiculous, so I'm going to go ahead and move to the next question."
"Since there are two Divine Beasts here, could there be other Divine Beasts hidden in this world? What about magical beasts? Where did they go? And how did the existence of cultivation disappear for the majority of the world?"
"I'm not sure if there are other Divine Beasts out there since it's been countless years since I have left this place, but it's not impossible. As for the magical beasts… They were all hunted to extinction. Normally, more magical beasts would be born after some time, but due to the lack of spiritual energy in this world and its small size, such a thing did not happen."
"Now onto why the majority of this world forgot about cultivation… Honestly, I don't know how it happened. I went into a deep slumber shortly after I took the seal into my body, and when I woke up, it was as though the entire world had forgotten about cultivation."
"With that being said, the people living on Earth before it was separated from the Nine Heavens were mostly mortals, so that could be a cause."
"Perhaps the people of this world decided to give up on cultivation altogether and started focusing on technology instead. Who knows."
"After all, if you think about it, even a somewhat powerful cultivation can remove mountains with ease, and considering the size of this world, it would be for the best if people stopped cultivation."
"Let's take you for example, Yuan. At your current level, you are more than capable of destroying this world, and you're only a Spirit Grandmaster. However, these are all just speculations."
"I see…" Yuan mumbled.
After pondering for sometime, he spoke, "All right, I will leave things here for now. There is a lot of new information that I need to think about and digest. When I'm ready to talk again, I will come back with more questions."
