The figure formed from the endless photons was lean and appeared to have elegant features. However, the most special thing about him was that he had a 70-80% resemblance with Fang Xingjian.

Fang Xingjian watched as the man—who was formed completely from layers of white light—took shape, becoming a black-haired and brown-eyed young man dressed in white robes. Fang Xingjian’s eyes narrowed, and he said, “The Church of Universal Truth’s previous Pope, Urethai.”

Urethai, who was formed from light, looked at Fang Xingjian with a gaze that seemed extremely complicated.

In this timeframe that was independent from the timeline and amidst the standstill time, Fang Xingjian did not have to worry about secrets getting leaked. He stared at Urethai and said, “What relationship do we have? And why is it that my mother died an early death? With her cultivation at tier one of the Divine level back then, it’s impossible for anyone to have dealt her with serious injuries regardless of whether it was someone from Miracle World or Earth…”

Fang Xingjian kept his gaze on Urethai. There were too many questions he wanted to ask.

Urethai shook his head, and his gaze became increasingly vague. Simultaneously, he did not reply Fang Xingjian’s question. Instead, he started to tell Fang Xingjian about a part of history.

“1,000 years ago, the Western Land’s Ascendant Heavenly Sect sent out the Plenary Foundation Septet to create chaos in Miracle World. If it wasn’t because it happened to be a period when the world was going through a calamity and the world’s metamorphosis had taken place… and if it wasn’t because the three great immortal sects had reservations toward each other and the Ascendant Heavenly Sect’s sect master didn’t make a move personally, the entire Miracle World would probably have been taken over by the Western Land’s higher realm.”

Urethai said calmly, “Therefore, 1,000 years ago, after sealing the Crown Princess, the top-notch characters at the time—including Saint Adam, the Formidable Divine King, and the Pope back then—thought of a method together. They used eight sections of the White Emperor Zenith Sword as a support, and the Pope then channeled his will into the sections. With the White Emperor Zenith Sword as well as the power from several top-notch sorceries and divine arts, they managed to achieve the battle prowess comparable to tier nine of the Divine level.”

Hearing Urethai’s words, a bolt of lightning instantly flashed in Fang Xingjian’s mind, and a guess rose up in his heart…

“Your guess is right,” Urethai said, seemingly able to see through Fang Xingjian’s thoughts. He continued calmly, “From then on, in order to keep up this tier nine Divine level power to prevent Western Land’s invasion and protect Miracle World in the absence of the world’s metamorphosis, every generation’s Pope takes over their predecessor and integrates into the White Emperor Zenith Sword after they are relieved from their position.”

“Is that so…” Fang Xingjian looked at Urethai, and a hint of grief flashed in his eyes. For so many top-notch characters to sacrifice themselves in order to protect the weak… He could not say who was right or who was wrong.

Fang Xingjian then asked, “Why is the life span conversion technique not passed down… Oh…” He immediately understood.

It had only been about 1,000 years or so since the sixth onslaught. There was only a small batch of experts who could stay behind using the life span conversion technique after having experienced the world’s metamorphosis and surpassed tier one of the Divine level.

Fang Xingjian then thought about it for a while before saying, “Therefore, in order to prevent this batch of people from affecting Miracle World’s future development, you guys sent them to other worlds? And even… sent them to the Western Land to infiltrate the higher realm?”

He could imagine that without the world’s metamorphosis, the other experts on Miracle World would only be dominated or enslaved once those experts at tier two, three, or even six or higher of the Divine level got their hands on the life span conversion technique.

With the Western Land being such a great threat, how could they possibly allow for internal strife to take place?

Therefore, the generations of Popes were in charge of protecting the world while Saint Adam, the Formidable Divine King, and other experts from 1,000 years ago had sneakily infiltrated into Western Land and headed toward the higher realm’s upper echelon.

“It’s just that there’s one thing I don’t understand,” Fang Xingjian said as he looked at the previous Pope and. “Why hasn’t the generations of Pope been able to survive?”

Urethai said, “This is the price to pay for taking a shortcut. The power of the White Emperor Zenith Sword and the power at tier nine of the Divine level are very strong. However, they also bring about a huge burden. They are powers that don’t belong to me, and they also stop me from being able to continue cultivating. This causes the person combining the two to be unable to use the life span conversion technique to extend their life spans.”

Fang Xingjian nodded. He finally understood what was going on. However, the sharpness in his gaze did not reduce in the least. Looking at Urethai, Fang Xingjian’s gaze became even more awe-inspiring.

“I already know about these. Now, tell me. What is it between me, you, and my mother?” Fang Xingjian asked coldly.

Simultaneously, streams of sword Qis kept on rising up around him, encompassing toward Urethai in an overwhelming manner. It was like he was going to make a move if their conversation did not work out.

The complication in Urethai’s eyes deepened when he looked at Fang Xingjian.

“Kid… You, me, and your mother… At the very root of it all, we come from neither Miracle World nor Earth. You, myself, and your mother are in fact not members of the Fang Clan.”

Fang Xingjian raised his brows. Although he felt surprised, he had already guessed this a long time ago. Therefore, he did not ask any questions and just listened quietly.

“Our blood lineage comes from a supreme existence in the multivariate universe,” Urethai slowly recounted the secret that he knew about. “According to what I know, someone stole that existence’s blood lineage and then combined it with other varying superior life forms, producing a batch of androids, or rather, clones.”

Fang Xingjian’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, “The supreme existence that you’re referring to can’t be the Silver Demonic God from the 13 demonic gods, right?”

From what Fang Xingjian had heard from the Evil God Tribe’s warrior, Ulpian, and that giant Parosas from the previous world he had gone to, he knew that his appearance was very similar to the human form of that demonic god. Even the Evil God Tribe’s warrior had mistaken him for that existence.

However, Urethai shook his head at this. “That might be it, but I’m not certain about this. The Silver Demonic God… Even his homogeneous existences in other parallel worlds had extremely strong powers in the multivariate universe. Moreover, other than Silver, the 13 demonic gods’ White and Black also have similar embodiments.

“So, who knows?”

At this, a hint of mockery flashed in Urethai’s gaze. It was as if he was mocking his own pedigree and blood lineage.

“You’re saying that my mother and I aren’t mother and son. Instead, we’re siblings?” Fang Xingjian said with a frown.

“That’s right. You, me, and Fang Yueru… Half of our blood lineage comes from a human who looks very similar to the Silver Demonic God or the Silver Demonic God himself. However, the other half of our blood lineage are all different,” Urethai said and sighed. “Existences like ourselves are also targets that countless people in the multivariate universe hate and covet.

“Therefore, unless there’s a need to, it’s better that you don’t easily expose the background of your blood lineage.”
