Divine God Against The Heavens

Chapter 249 Ch 249: Shocking Secret

Su Xue Er started to insert the four keys in the keyholes inside the mouth of the four Holy Beasts' statues one by one.

The moment she inserted the last key inside the keyhole, the ground began to tremble and as time went by, the shaking of the ground became faster and faster.

Krrr!

Suddenly, a cracking sound echoed in the room and both Ye Xiao and Su Xue Er saw the statue of the man moving from its place.

This statue of the man was like a king being guarded by the four Holy Beast. But at this time, it moved. It slides backward, and after sliding around one meter in the backward direction, it stopped.

Not long after the statue stopped moving, a crack appeared at the place where the statue was a few moments ago. This crack started to become bigger and bigger.

A few breaths of time later, the crack stopped becoming bigger, instead, a round ball of light that was the size of a new born baby flew out from the crack on the ground.

If one looks at this ball of light carefully, one will see that four figures were moving inside this ball of light.

"These are... the four Holy Beasts!" Su Xue Er was shocked to see that the moving figure inside the ball of light that just flew out from underground were the figures of four Holy Beasts.

These four Holy Beasts were roaring inside the ball of light but suddenly, it was as though they could see Ye Xiao and Su Xue Er, they stopped roaring and for some reason, their expression became that of an excited man who met his lover after years of separation.

Both of them became confused as they could not understand why these four Holy Beasts were making this kind of expression.

The ball of light only stopped in the air for a short while before moving toward the statue of the man. It arrived at the top of the statue's head and started to float there.

A silver-coloured light came out from the ball of light and shone directly at the head of the statue. The moment the light was shone on the head of the statue, the statue once again began to tremble.

Sometime later, the statue of the man stopped trembling. Suddenly, the moment the statue stopped trembling, an illusory person flew out from the statue. Its figure was very blurry, so blurry that it was impossible for anyone to see its face clearly.

Yet, the moment it came out from the statue, for some reason, Su Xue Er's body trembled slightly as she kneeled down on the ground. On the other hand, Ye Xiao did not feel anything.

"It's been millions of years and finally, someone came here!" An old hoarse voice echoed in the room. This voice was clearly coming out from the illusory figure but at the same time, it was as if this voice sounded from every direction, making the listener impossible to determine if the voice truly belong to the illusory figure or not.

"Little girl, I can sense the traces of my flood flowing inside you! Although you are from the direct-line descends of my Xiao Family, your bloodline is too thin, making it impossible for you to awaken it!" That old voice once again echoed inside the room.

"Senior, you are...?" Su Xue Er did not dare to raise her head and look at the illusory figure. She was feeling her blood boiling inside her body for some reason. This feeling appeared the moment this illusory figure came out from the statue of a man holding the sword.

"Who am I? Little girl, you are here for my inheritance yet you don't know who am I? I can clearly sense the blood of Xiao Family inside you, doesn't your elders told you the purpose of sending you here?" That illusory figure was surprised at first, then he became confused, and finally, instead of answering Su Xue Er, he asked her some other questions that confused Su Xue Er this time.

"Senior, My name is Su Xue Er and I am not from the Xiao Family. I don't even know where this family is. My mother is someone from the Xiao Family." Su Xue Er replied to the old man.

Listening to her, the old man's illusory figure fell in deep thought, and only after ten minutes did he once again said, "Tell me about your mother!"

Su Xue Er hesitated slightly and looked at Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao did not know what to say in this situation. According to him, it was inappropriate to meddle in the old man and Su Xue Er's conversation but since Su Xue Er looked at him, he still nodded his head, indicating her to tell the old man about her mother.

He also wanted to know more about her mother because her mother was someone from the Xiao Family and this Xiao Family is related to this old man in front of him. And seeing the figures of four Holy Beasts who were looking at the old man and Su Xue Er curiously from inside the ball of light that was floating above the statue's head, Ye Xiao made a guess that this old man was definitely closely related to the Holy Beast Continent and its origin.

If Su Xue Er were to tell the old man about her mother, he might come closer to know the origin of the Holy Beast Continent. From the moment he heard about the word 'Origin of the Holy Beast Continent', he became more and more curious about this matter.

Su Xue Er took a deep breath and said, "I don't know much about my mother and I don't even know that my mother belonged to the Xiao Family until a few days ago when my blood was able to open the black box."

"My mother's name is Xiao Mei and what I remember about her is that she was very mysterious. Her strength was beyond anyone I have ever met. My father met my mother in an ancient ruin where they fell in love with each other. At that time, my mother was searching for something, maybe the black box that contained the four keys inside."

"After coming out from the ancient ruin, both of them married each other and started to live happily. But even after their marriage, my mother kept looking for something unknown. Not being able to find that thing, one day, she suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a letter!"

Su Xue Er took a deep breath as her eyes became moist and looking at her face, one can say that she really misses her mother and now that she was telling the story of her mother, her face became like crying.

The old man again asked, "What was written in that letter?"

Su Xue Er wiped out her tears before it could fell down from eyes then said, "The thing written on the later was something that no one was able to understand in my family."

"She wrote in the letter that she did not belong to this world. She came from someplace called the Upper Realm. For some reason, she had to go back, never to return."

"My father searched for this place called Upper Realm for years. It's been more than fifteen years since my mother disappeared but we were still unable to find this place!"

Ye Xiao was shocked when he heard this. If her mother was someone from the Upper Realm, didn't it mean that the Xiao Family is also at the Upper Realm? And if it is true, it also means that the origin of the Holy Beast Empire is also related to the Upper Realm in some ways.

p The old man nodded his head after listening to the whole story from Su Xue Er and said, "It is normal for you lot to be unable to find anything about the Upper Realm!"

"Upper Realm is not some kind of place instead it is a Realm higher levelled than the Lower Realm. The Holy Beast Continent that you are living in is a world that belongs to the Lower Realm. There are countless worlds like the Holy Beast Continent!"

Su Xue Er was again confused when she heard the old man. She looked at Ye Xiao and saw his eyes were clear. It was as though he already knew everything about the Lower Realm and the Upper Realm!

Suddenly as if thinking of something, she panicked and asked in a trembling voice, "If what senior said is true, doesn't it mean that my mother is not from this world? She came here from a world higher levelled than the Holy Beast Continent!"

"Exactly!" The illusory figure of that old man nodded his head, confirming Su Xue Er's guess.

Su Xue Er's body started to tremble more and more as she heard this.

If what this senior said was true, didn't it mean that I will never be able to meet my mother?
