“Our blood continues for one hundred and eighty thousand years. That’s already a wonder, and we should be grateful for that. Monarch Ye has helped our children to continue living for generations. We must thank him properly.” Ce Xingchen said.

Ji Qingxiao laughed and said, “This space is special, but it can’t let us stay for a long time. Time flies. Let’s get to the point now.”

Ce Xingchen smiled and said, “It feels so good to be back. I just have so much to talk about. Well, it is a shame that we can’t use every second of it to talk!”

Ye Xiao was confused, staring at the two masters.

Since the two great men appeared, they kept talking to each other and ignoring Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao was right there, but he was like a transparent man.

The two men were talking and talking. They really hadn’t talked for too long, so they wanted to seize every moment to say something.

While Ye Xiao was lost in his thoughts, he realized that the two masters were silently staring at him now.

The masters’ eyes stared at him as if their gaze was from one hundred and eighty thousand years ago. It was solemn, and it was proud.

At the moment, Ye Xiao actually felt nervous, and his soul seemed to be unstable.

The next moment, Ye Xiao was shocked that the two great men actually bowed to him seriously.

Ye Xiao hurriedly stepped aside and said in a deep voice, “Honorable masters... Why do you do this to me? I helped your descendants only to return the favor. It was your descendant who helped me first, and what I did was to return the favor. Besides, the things I did weren’t that great. You must not bow to me.”

Ji Qingxiao stood up and smiled. “Monarch Ye, you misunderstood. We bowed to you not to thank you for saving our people... In fact, we bowed because we were asking you for help.”

“Please, master. Just tell me what it is.” Ye Xiao seriously said, “You are the two great heroes who I admire a lot. No matter what you want me to do, I will do my best to help.”

Ce Xingchen smiled and said, “It must be fate and destiny. What we want is also about your future. Please, pay attention to me.

“One hundred and eighty thousand years ago, the two of us realized that we had already reached the peak of the world. That must be the highest point we could reach in our lives... Reaching the top meant meeting our limitations. Monarch Ye, you have ascended to the higher realm twice. I think you know what happens when somebody goes beyond the limitation of the world!”

Ji Qingxiao said, “We weren’t as good as you, Monarch Ye. We knew we couldn’t stay in the Human Realm Upon Heavens anymore, but we didn’t know where to go next.

“If we stayed, we would be destroyed by the divine power of the great heavens... Or if we’re lucky enough, we might destroy the Heavenly Dao instead.”

Ji Qingxiao smiled and said, “We didn’t know what would happen to us, but we felt the trace of our fate. We couldn’t explain it, but we felt it. It scared us so much. We had ruled everything in the world for a long time, and it was the first time for us to felt controlled again!

“If we fought against the Heavenly Dao, we were not absolutely going to lose. We were truly incredibly powerful back in the day. We even had the chance to destroy the Heavenly Dao.”

Ce Xingchen gently said, “However, if the divine punishment struck on us, and we survived it, the world would collapse because it wouldn’t be able to handle our overwhelming power. The world would die because of us.

“After we died, we finally knew... It was the Divine Choice!

“We didn’t get any heritage of others before we reached the top of the world. All we got were great talents and the dynamic force from competing with each other.

“What we did to reach the top of the world was to keep working hard!”

Ye Xiao was shocked. “Masters, do you mean it was possible for you to reach even higher levels?”

Ji Qingxiao looked calm and blandly said, “That’s correct. If we fought together against the Heavenly Dao, we would survive the divine punishment. We would break the barrier and reach an even higher level.

“However, there was a price to pay. If we did that, the world could die. Our incredible power would destroy the system of the world. We would have to absorb the energy from the destruction of the world and reach a new stage after that!”

Ye Xiao knew that the two heroes eventually chose to save the world, but he still took a cold breath in shock. He had ascended to the new worlds twice, so he knew the limitation of the world, the punishment from heavens, and other things about it. However, he had never thought that one could destroy a world when reaching a new level!

Ji Qingxiao looked at Ye Xiao and smiled. “Monarch Ye, you don’t have to be so shocked. Cultivators always went against the rules of the heavens. People do terrible things to improve themselves. Sometimes, it was only a small choice which leads to a terrible outcome. When the divine punishment struck someone who is actually more powerful than the Heavenly Dao, the choice was left to the people! That is why it is called the Divine Choice!

“To make a step ahead, the world will die, and you will then reach a new world... If not, you die!”

Ce Xingchen said, “It was a shame... We had too many connections to this world. We couldn’t let the world die.

“So we made a plan and then had our last fight. In the end, we chose to die together. We wanted to save the Human Realm Upon Heavens by destroying our souls.”

Ce Xingchen stopped, and Ji Qingxiao said with a bland smile, “However, we were willing to die for the world, but we still wanted to leave our story.

“The restraint on our children is a protection and also something we did to lead you to find us. Our martial arts are extraordinary, and we have cultivated it to the limit of the world. They are the painstaking work of our lives, but we do not have a disciple who can carry forward the greatness.” Ce Xingchen said.

“In fact, we did have disciples, but they were all dead. He killed my disciples, and I killed his.” Ji Qingxiao frankly said, “In the end, neither of us had any disciples anymore.”

Ce Xingchen stared at the man and said, “So there is one thing we really want to do before we really leave the world... Our heritage is going to be a burden on you now, Monarch Ye.”
