Chapter 3592: Whereabouts Unknown?

Xi Wen exposed the existence of the star chart in a single sentence, but he didn't state it explicitly; instead, he stared at Xiao Fan with a smile…

Hearing Xi Wen's words, Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter smile. "Senior, this Junior has only heard of Shang Dao's name."

"Hehehe… I thought you were being honest just now, but now, sigh… forget it, forget it. It's better to be cautious." Xi Wen chuckled bitterly.

Xiao Fan remained silent. Regarding the matter of the star chart, he would definitely not reveal even a single detail.

Even if Xiao Fan believed Xi Wen and the others weren't enemies, he still wouldn't disclose it. This matter was of grave importance; once leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Hehehe… Forget it, just tell him everything directly." Yang Yao shook his head helplessly and spoke indifferently.

"Alright." Xi Wen nodded and continued, "Shang Dao was a man whose strength spanned throughout history. Even now, I still believe his talent was peerless and unique… and all of that was because of a great war."

"A great war?" Xiao Fan was startled, suspecting it was the same war the star chart had told him about—the one where Shang Dao was ambushed and subsequently fell.

"That's right, a great war caused by a conflict of ideals… Shang Dao's ideals clashed with the nobles of the Upper Realm." Xi Wen spoke slowly.

Hearing Xi Wen's words, Xiao Fan remained calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with shock…

Shang Dao and the Upper Realm's nobles had a conflict of ideals?!

What was going on?!

Xiao Fan had never heard of this before!

What Xiao Fan had heard was that Shang Dao had threatened the nobles of the Upper Realm, which was why the Upper Realm gathered powerful experts to ambush him.

At that time, the other All Heavens and Myriad Worlds had also compromised one after another, all submitting to the God Realm. Only the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds where Xiao Fan resided had not submitted.

"Senior, what exactly happened?" Xiao Fan inquired.

"Hehehe… Actually, it was nothing much. At that time, the nobles of the Upper Realm wanted to expand and open up a path to the Heaven Beyond Heaven. However, Shang Dao didn't want to; he felt the timing wasn't right, so he rejected the proposal of the Upper Realm's nobles. The Dominator back then—who is also the current Dominator—did not agree with Shang Dao's approach either…"

"However, Shang Dao was too strong back then. They couldn't do anything to him at all, and there was a growing trend of the Vast Land becoming Shang Dao's personal Domain where his word was law…"

"Therefore, they designed an ambush for Shang Dao, intending to eliminate him…"

"It was at that time that Shang Dao's whereabouts became unknown. Before he disappeared, he established an ancient contract, separating the Domain map of his birth from the God Realm, cutting off their connection and making it impossible for the God Realm's powerhouses to descend…"

"…"

Xi Wen spoke slowly, recounting the secrets of the God Realm.

Hearing Xi Wen's words, Xiao Fan was shocked. "You're saying… Shang Dao's whereabouts were unknown back then?"

"That's right, whereabouts unknown. He's probably dead… otherwise, with his personality, how could he not seek revenge?" Xi Wen smiled bitterly.

Hearing Xi Wen's words, Xiao Fan felt as if he had been struck by lightning…

Shang Dao's whereabouts were merely unknown?

Didn't the star chart say back then that Shang Dao had perished?

"What's going on?" Xiao Fan asked urgently, communicating with the star chart through his mind.

"I… I'm not sure either… Listen to what he says first." The star chart's voice was incredibly hurried, equally puzzled by the situation.

"What happened after that? Senior?" Xiao Fan looked at Xi Wen and asked again.

"Afterward, Shang Dao disappeared, but that war was too terrifying. One-fifth of the Upper Realm's land was contaminated, and the Divine Breath within it was no longer pure, thus giving rise to exotic beasts… So the Dominator decided to separate those regions. Calling it 'discarding' would actually be more appropriate… and they became the current Lower Realm and Middle Realm."

"As for our Jishang Heaven, we strongly opposed it at the time. Furthermore, we had a good relationship with Shang Dao and agreed with his ideals… This displeased the Dominator. However, due to the uniqueness of our Jishang Heaven, they decided to send Jishang Heaven to the Middle Realm to preside over it, under the pretext of suppressing the Exotic Beast Zone…"

"In a flash, so many years have passed." Xi Wen sighed with emotion and spoke slowly, "Thinking back to the beginning, I was just a young boy in Jishang Heaven, but now… I've become the leader."

Xiao Fan: "…"

Xiao Fan guessed that the 'uniqueness' of Jishang Heaven that Xi Wen mentioned should be the ability to comprehend the Dao of Heaven and Earth, which was why they managed to survive.
