Chapter 2488: Sparring with Keling

Hearing Senior Bai’s question, a calm smile appeared on Yuan’s face.

"Just like Tian Yingzhe, the Divine Paragon is another of my past lives," he replied.

Senior Bai opened his mouth, but no words came out.

"Any other questions? I’ll answer as much as I can," Yuan said.

"The Celestial Emperor recently released an official statement regarding your incident, claiming that the perpetrator—you—smuggled the Asura Clan out of the Primordial Realm. As far as I am aware, they are the most dangerous criminals imprisoned there."

Senior Bai paused for a moment before asking in a solemn voice, "Is... that true? If so, why the Asura Clan? I understand that they fought against the first Celestial Emperor before, so you might want to cooperate with them, but they are simply too dangerous! Because they—"

"Because they once served the Evil God, correct?" Yuan interrupted, easily seeing through Senior Bai’s concerns.

Senior Bai nodded with a deep frown on his face.

"The Evil God was one of the cruelest individuals in history. The number of lives he slaughtered reached into the tens of millions. Even if the first Celestial Emperor was in the wrong for starting the war, it still does not justify the senseless massacre of innocents."

Yuan sighed, and the atmosphere around him suddenly grew heavy as he responded, "You’re right. It does not justify what I did."

"Wait... what?" Senior Bai’s eyes widened with disbelief as he doubted his hearing.

Yuan stared at him dead in the eyes and explained, "The Evil God... the God of War was also one of my incarnations."

"WHAT?!" Senior Bai exclaimed, falling back to the ground with a heavy thud.

"T-The Evil God?! You?!"

Yuan nodded and said, "Although it won’t justify the rampage I went on, allow me to explain why I did it."

He then turned to look at Meixiu in the distance before revealing the truth behind why the Evil God had gone on a killing spree and become the most blood-soaked figure in history.

He revealed to Senior Bai that the Celestial Emperor had assassinated his wife—who had been pregnant with his child—simply because he refused to serve the Celestial Emperor during the Heavenly War of Immortals and Gods.

"That’s..."

Since he had never had a wife, let alone children, Senior Bai could not truly comprehend Yuan’s pain. However, that did not mean he couldn’t understand how such a tragedy could change even the kindest of men.

Eventually, Senior Bai spoke, "I will neither support nor condemn what you did in the past—especially when it happened in another life altogether. Let us leave the past where it belongs and focus on the present instead. As long as you don’t go around killing innocent people, I will continue to trust and support your decisions."

"Thank you." Yuan nodded.

"Any... any other incarnations of yours that I should..." Senior Bai paused there and shook his head, "Forget it. I don’t want to know."

He then said, "About Lady Xu... do you want me to tell her?"

"No, I will tell her myself."

"I understand. Then I’ll leave you alone for now. Don’t make her wait too long."
