Chapter 2961: Eccentric

He Qianchi took a sip of the spiritual tea and sighed again. “However, we’re weak in strength. Even when many of the peak organisations on the Ice Pole Plane still think about the great sovereign, we’re powerless to do anything.”

“The terrifying formation in the depths of the Ice Goddess Hall sends chills down the spines of all peak experts on the Ice Pole Plane. It’s absolutely unapproachable. Moreover, just the Flame Reverend who’s plotting against the Ice Goddess Hall is an undefeatable, terrifying existence on our Ice Pole Plane. With the Flame Reverend secretly watching, many of the peak organisations on the Ice Pole Plane don’t even have the courage to help anyone from the Ice Goddess Hall. Everyone is afraid of being dragged into the matter.”

Jian Chen sighed inside. Only now did he learn just what kind of a person the Ice Goddess was. Not only did her cold and aloof personality prevent the Ice Goddess Hall from developing any friends or allies in the Saints’ World, but she was even on bad terms with experts on the same level as her. As a result, even when the Ice Goddess Hall had declined to its current state, they did not receive any powerful assistance.

The organisations on the Ice Pole Plane were clearly willing but incapable.

“Senior, is there any news on the Flame Reverend right now?” Jian Chen asked. He was the true conspirer behind the plot against the Ice Goddess Hall, as well as the most terrifying figure out there. Anything he did would have an extremely great influence over the Ice Goddess Hall’s situation.

“The Flame Reverend vanished many years ago. It’s already been a very long time since there’s been any news on him, but you can be certain that he’s still alive, as I’ve once heard the ancestors discuss this. The ancestors said that the Flame Reverend used an unknown method to control numerous Grand Primes. As long as the Flame Reverend is still alive, the Grand Primes under his control won’t disobey him.”

“However, once the Flame Reverend dies, the people under his control will all notice.”

“However, after all these years, the people under the Flame Reverend’s control have constantly been serving him. You can deduce the Flame Reverend’s fate from the traces of their activity.”

“But three million years ago, the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng had once chased the Flame Reverend through the entire Saints’ World. It was also soon after that he vanished. He must be hiding away in some unknown corner to avoid the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.”

“The Ice Goddess Hall doesn’t have any powerful experts right now?” Jian Chen asked in thought.

He Qianchi shook his head. “Apart from the sovereign and the Snow Goddess, there’s no one close, as this sovereign is unlike the other sovereigns of the Saints’ World. The other sovereigns had all taught a few disciples at the very least, or they’ve left behind tremendous organisations.”

“However, our sovereign never accepted any disciples, nor did she expand the organization. The divine hall has recruited a few female disciples in the past, but these disciples are a group of female attendants at most. None of them are of any use.”

Reaching there, He Qianchi’s expression suddenly changed. He said, “Oh, I’ve suddenly remembered that there was a female attendant by the name of Shui Yunlan in the divine hall. Her name has always been on the Godkings’ Throne. It’s been there for the past three million years, except her name vanished recently.”

“There are only two reasons why names would vanish from the Godkings’ Throne. They must either be dead or their cultivation has reached the Primordial realm.”

He Qianchi’s gaze suddenly began to flicker with uncertainty. He gazed at Jian Chen in a strange way. Who knew what he was thinking.

When he heard He Qianchi mention Shui Yunlan, Jian Chen immediately became speechless inside. Shui Yunlan personally called herself one of the four great protectors. She was valiant and mighty, a terrifying, invincible figure back then on the Tian Yuan Continent. She had once given Jian Chen the impression that she was undefeatable.

However, he had never thought she would just be a female attendant at most in the eyes of a Chaotic Prime like He Qianchi.

“The Snow Goddess isn’t dead. She’s just severely injured and struggling to recover from her wounds. It’s said that in the past, under the sovereign’s arrangements, she’s been successfully reborn, but since it’s the sovereign’s arrangements, she can obviously calculate the various factors related to the Snow Goddess’ rebirth without much difficulty with her ability to control the heavenly ways and interfere with the operation of the universe. The female attendant called Shui Yunlan just happens to have remained on the Godkings’ Throne for three million years.”

“All of the supreme Godkings that can make it onto the Godkings’ Throne are extraordinarily talented. Basically none of these juniors will remain on the Godkings’ Throne for too long. Breaking through to the Primordial realm is difficult, but for people like them, it’ll be far easier compared to regular cultivators. There have basically been no examples where anyone has remained on there for three million years.”

“The peak experts of the Saints’ World have noticed the abnormality with Shui Yunlan a long time ago. She’s probably been sent to an extremely secretive place by the sovereign to patiently wait for the Snow Goddess’ appearance before escorting the Snow Goddess back.”

“Perhaps due to certain reasons, the place prevented Shui Yunlan from breaking through.”

He Qianchi mentioned it leisurely as if he was analysing something not worth mentioning. However, Jian Chen was on the edge of his seat as he listened along. He lamented over how older people were simply more perceptive. He never thought they could deduce so much from just a few clues.

He was basically spot on.

He Qianchi gradually formed a mysterious smile. He did not care about Jian Chen’s response. Instead, he lowered his head and poured himself a cup of tea, saying in an unconcerned manner, “If I’ve guessed correctly, the Snow Goddess was not reborn in the Saints’ World, or some smaller world, but one of the numerous lower worlds.”

“Meanwhile, Shui Yunlan, who has been stuck on the Godkings’ Throne for three million years, should have completed her mission and returned to the Saints’ World. After that, she stepped into the Primordial realm, which was why her name vanished from the Godking’s’ Throne.”

He Qianchi had qualms about the Ice Goddess since she was a sovereign, so he refused to call her by her name, replacing it with sovereign. However, he did not have as many worries regarding the Snow Goddess. He mentioned her name whenever he wanted to in an extremely natural manner.

“Senior, you’ve mentioned so much about the Snow Goddess. Is the Snow Goddess very powerful?” Jian Chen was filled with deep curiosity. He only knew a bare minimum about the past of his elder sister, so he obviously wanted to know more.

Whether she was the Snow Goddess or Changyang Mingyue, she would always be his elder sister in Jian Chen’s heart.

A sister who had cared for him since young, giving him the warmth of his childhood!

He Qianchi immediately shot him a glance and said in exasperation, “The Snow Goddess is a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, no weaker than the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng or the eight Saint Monarchs of the archaean clans. Tell me, is she powerful or not?” As soon as he mentioned Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes, He Qianchi could not help himself as his eyes became filled with admiration and yearning.

“Though, fellow Yang Yutian, I’m very curious about just what kind of relationship exists between you and the Snow Goddess.” He Qianchi stared straight at Jian Chen.

“How can the likes of me have a connection with a great figure as lofty as the Snow Goddess? You’re completely overestimating me, senior.” Jian Chen chuckled in a natural manner.

He Qianchi chuckled as well. “Looks like I’ve been overthinking then. Though, whether it’s the sovereign or the Snow Goddess, they’re both very eccentric. I haven’t experienced it personally, but I have read quite a lot from the records in the clan and heard quite a lot from various predecessors.”

“Whether it’s the sovereign or the Snow Goddess, they’re both great figures that are extremely difficult to get along with. And, as outsiders, no matter what kind of relationship you have with them, they’ll come after you to settle their debts once they return if you intrude on their business without their permission.”

“Whether it’s for their sake or not, there’s no difference in their eyes. They’ll just treat it as another form of infringement.”

Jian Chen was slightly shocked. He obviously understood that was actually a discreet warning from He Qianchi, to tell him to remain uninvolved with the Snow Goddess’ matters.

Perhaps it could also be interpreted as telling him to not assist the Snow Goddess without good reason. Otherwise, once the Snow Goddess returned, even if he had shown kindness to the Snow Goddess, he would probably face ungrateful retribution.

“If that’s the case, the peak organisations on your Ice Pole Plane still wanted to help them back then? Aren’t they afraid they’ll come after them?” Jian Chen asked sternly.

“That’s different. Some of the peak organisations are devoted to the divine hall, but even if they were to provide assistance, they would not make it so obvious. For example, if foreign experts wanted to lay their hands on the divine hall, these organisations would band together and chase away the foreign experts if it’s within their ability, protecting this place. Only the Flame Reverend, because he’s just too powerful, leaves these organisations powerless.”

“Of course, some of the experts are also thinking about the bigger picture. They don’t want any payback for their efforts, but they do everything within their abilities to help the divine hall. They have absolutely no concern about the fate awaiting them once the great figures return. These people have actually mentally prepared themselves for punishment already. Even if they die in the end, they’ll stick firmly to their decision for the sake of the bigger picture they believe in.”

“These people only have a single thought. Only when the sovereign is still around will the Ice Pole Plane be powerful and prosperous,” said He Qianzhi.

“Have these people opposed the Flame Reverend’s forces before?” Jian Chen asked.

“Of course not. During the past three million years, apart from the mysterious Empyrean Demon Lord who rarely ever shows himself, no one has been bold enough to oppose the forces under the Flame Reverend, as that will only lead to death.”

“Moreover, a death like that is absolutely pointless in the eyes of these people. Even if they were to die, they want to do something meaningful for the sovereign.” Reaching there, He Qianchi sighed heavily. He felt completely helpless and said, “I really don’t know whether it’s a blessing or a curse for our Ice Pole Plane to possess such an eccentric sovereign.”

Jian Chen sank into his thoughts. He had gained a rough understanding of the Ice Goddess and Snow Goddess from He Qianchi. It was no wonder that there had not been a single expert in the Saints’ World that had ever considered helping them after the Ice Goddess Hall had fallen into trouble.

They were indeed two great figures that were extremely difficult to get along with. They completely treated the good will of others as malice and insult. There were obviously no experts in the Saints’ World willing to ask for misfortune like that.

However, after learning about this, Jian Chen felt troubled, as he knew that his sister was the Snow Goddess. He was worried that his sister would turn out like what He Qianchi had described after recovering the memories of the Snow Goddess.
