You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

He sighed and said, "Even the Heavenly Dao cannot deal with a person whose fate is unfathomable, so the son of the Heavenly Dao crafted the Eye of Heaven, the key lies in merging with the Divine Soul of an unfathomable person, only then can the Heavenly Dao Power be wielded without incurring Heavenly Punishment."

"I see..."

Lin Yue murmured.

Only then did he understand the reason the Crown Prince pursued the unfathomable person.

"Moreover, the stronger and more unique the Divine Soul of the unfathomable person, the stronger the Heavenly Dao Power will be."

The Second Prince whispered, "Essentially, the unfathomable person is the reincarnation of the Ancient Human Clan, but not all Ancient Humans have the talent for cultivation. Hence, most unfathomable people the Crown Prince finds can be nurtured only to the Great Cultivator level; rarely to the Saint level."

Lin Yue nodded.

Lacking inherent talent and comprehension, even the best conditions can only reach the level of a Great Cultivator.

"What the Crown Prince desires most is the Divine Soul of the Star Lord and your mother."

The Second Prince said, "The Star Lord is the only unfathomable person at the Proving Realm he found, and your mother is noticed by the Divine Emperor for her unparalleled Divine Skills."

He paused, then said, "Actually, you also are. Your parents worry that the Crown Prince will discover you are a true Ancient Human. You should know that a true Ancient Human who has never reincarnated is of great attraction to the Crown Prince."

Lin Yue upon hearing this, suddenly recalled —

Long ago, Duanmu Yan once showed him a memory where Xiahong Feng told Lin Jianlu, 'Our child is already being nurtured, as long as it remains hidden from the Crown Prince.'

As Xiahong Feng is the Second Primordial Spirit of the Crown Prince, he naturally understands what the Crown Prince wants, hence the need to hide it.

"That year, your mother was pregnant with you and followed your father back to Great Yong."

The Second Prince slowly said, "But your parents didn't anticipate... at that time, the Divine Emperor had already died, the core of the Great Yong Divine Formation was the Eye of Heaven, with the Divine Emperor dead, I barely maintained the Divine Formation, the Crown Prince discovered the instability of the formation and immediately killed several nurtured unfathomable people, merging their Divine Souls into the Eye of Heaven to stabilize the formation."

He sighed and said, "From that day forward, the Crown Prince's primary focus has been to harness more Heavenly Dao Power to stabilize the formation."

Lin Yue understood.

"So, when the Crown Prince found out my mother returned to Great Yong, he need no longer consider the Divine Emperor and wanted to kill my mother?" he asked softly.

"Yes."

The Second Prince sighed, "I was left with no heart power to maintain the Great Yong Divine Formation, nor was I capable of protecting them."

"Actually, before returning to Great Yong, your father had already proven and transcended because he had long condensed the Divine Heart, and condensing it again was easy."

The Second Prince shook his head and said, "But the Heavenly Dao Power in Great Yong was quite strong at that time, even with the strength of a Son of God, your father couldn't defeat the Crown Prince's Heavenly Dao Power. His physical body was destroyed, his Divine Soul shattered, and he couldn't protect Lin Jianlu either."

Lin Yue was silent.

The Crown Prince was cold and ruthless, always considering survival most securely.

Mother Lin Jianlu being so unique, the Crown Prince certainly wouldn't pass up the opportunity.

Even telling the Crown Prince that mother is pregnant with a true Ancient Human, potentially capable of attempting the Ultimate Path, was useless.

Among the Ancient Human, how many actually grasp the Ultimate Path?

How could the Crown Prince abandon the nearby Lin Jianlu and the Divine Soul of the Ancient Human to chase a faint hope?

"Did my father fail to protect my mother?"

Lin Yue took a deep breath and asked, "What happened afterwards?"

The Second Prince remained silent for a moment and said, "Your mother is an unfathomable person; the Crown Prince couldn't directly use Heavenly Dao Power against her. At that time, the Crown Prince personally came to capture her, attempting to refine her into fusion with the Eye of Heaven on the spot, but... he failed."

"Failed?" Lin Yue was slightly stunned.

As the son of the Heavenly Dao, although the Crown Prince couldn't refine Divine Power, even without harnessing Heavenly Dao Power, his body had transcended partially into the Ultimate Path, and the Heavenly Dao Body was quite unique.

The strength can be imagined, yet he failed?

"The Divine Emperor granted your mother a Divine Power, which seemed to trigger a mark within your mother's Divine Soul."

The Second Prince said, "At that time, your mother was protected by an extremely terrifying power; the Crown Prince couldn't harm her, much less extract her Divine Soul."

"A mark?" Lin Yue pondered.

Could it be a mark from the Other Shore Master or the Other Shore Heavenly Bell?

The Second Prince shook his head and said, "Although the Crown Prince wouldn't give up, when I discovered the situation with your parents, I threatened him by abandoning maintaining the Great Yong Divine Formation, forcing him to retreat."

Lin Yue took a deep breath and said, "In recent years, the Crown Prince has not acted against me because Second Brother has been using this threat against him, right."

"There's no other choice."

The Second Prince sighed and said, "The Crown Prince only cares if the Human Clan can survive longer. He believes the Human Clan will ultimately be destroyed, even without Eternal Night, time will eventually lead to our extinction; hence he opts for a more secure way of living. When our views differ, I can only threaten him like that, forcing him to retreat."

"What happened later?" Lin Yue asked.

"Later..."

The Second Prince slowly said, "Your father's Divine Soul was shattered by the Crown Prince, splitting apart; your mother, lacking strength, could only barely grasp the Main Soul and one Remnant Spirit. The other two Remnant Spirits—one was captured by the Crown Prince and sealed within the Heavenly Martial Divine Cauldron, while the other fled on its own."

He shook his head and said, "At that time, your father's Main Soul was already on the verge of dispersing, unable to actively merge with his Remnant Spirits. Your mother went to Beiyuan Mountain and obtained the Eternal Darkness Reincarnation Coffin to nurture your father's Divine Soul."
