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

"Did the Divine Emperor believe Xiahou Shou disrupted the balance and thus killed him?"

Lin Yue couldn't help but ask, "The Divine Emperor rarely kills. If it was because Xiahou Shou brought some treasure from the Ancient World, why not just take the treasure away?"

Back then, when the Human Clan was almost wiped out, although the Divine Emperor stepped in to reverse the situation, it was merely to expel the Demon Clan, not to slaughter.

At that time, most of the Demon Clan killed were slain by the Crown Prince.

Lin Yue had never heard of the Divine Emperor killing anyone other than Xiahou Shou. It was strange that the Divine Emperor went out of his way to kill Xiahou Shou.

"I don't know the specifics either."

The Second Prince shook his head slightly, "The Divine Emperor seemed unwilling to explain, but there must be a reason why He had to kill Xiahou Shou. Besides Xiahou Shou, the Divine Emperor has never taken anyone's life, which should be some kind of rule He follows as a Divine."

Lin Yue pondered and asked, "And then? The Divine Emperor killed Xiahou Shou, why let him reincarnate as a prince?"

The Second Prince looked at him, paused for a moment, and said, "I don't know the deeper reasons, but it should have been to obtain something from Xiahou Shou, which is why he was reincarnated as a prince. Unfortunately... the Divine Emperor died before He could complete His follow-up plan."

Lin Yue couldn't help but ask, "Why did you kill the Divine Emperor, Second Brother?"

"The reason is simple."

The Second Prince sighed and said, "Because, after returning from Eternal Night, the Divine Emperor, a neutral Divine, made a decision..."

"A decision?" Lin Yue was shocked.

"The Divine Emperor also agreed to the world's destruction." The Second Prince said slowly, "I don't know what He experienced, but after coming back, He became a Divine of the Destruction Sect, decided to abandon the Human Clan, and even intended to dissolve the Great Yong Divine Formation."

"Abandon the Human Clan..."

Lin Yue finally understood the reason the Second Prince killed the Divine Emperor.

However...

The Second Prince, being a Son of God, was actually able to kill the Divine Emperor, a Divine Master of Reincarnation?

"At that time, the Divine Emperor was severely injured."

The Second Prince said, "The key was His Divine Position, or Earth Authority, seemed to be somehow limited at the time, making it unusable. Without His Divine Position, the Divine Master was essentially at the level of a Son of God, and being heavily injured, I was naturally able to kill Him."

Lin Yue was enlightened.

He couldn't help but ask, "What about my parents? Is it also because of the Divine Emperor...?"

"Not at all."

The Second Prince shook his head, "The Divine Emperor should have recognized that your mother was from the Other Shore World and valued her greatly. After your parents entered the Other Shore World, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor personally guarded the entrance. Your father originally planned to seek Dao and even condense the Divine Heart on the spot, but unexpectedly, the Divine Emperor personally went to receive them."

"The Divine Emperor went to receive them personally?" Lin Yue was stunned.

However, Lin Jianlu had the Divine Power Imprint of the Other Shore Heavenly Bell and was valued by the Master of the Other Shore. As a Divine who followed the Master of the Other Shore, it made sense that the Divine Emperor valued Lin Jianlu.

The Second Prince nodded slightly, "After saving your parents, the Divine Emperor asked your mother a question before going to kill Xiahou Shou."

"What question?" Lin Yue asked.

The Second Prince showed a trace of confusion in his eyes and said, "At that time, the Divine Emperor asked your mother... during her time in the Other Shore World, did she encounter any native who was extremely close to her?"

"What does this question mean?" Lin Yue was puzzled.

Did she encounter any native who was extremely close to her mother?

"How did my mother answer?" Lin Yue asked in confusion.

"Your mother answered truthfully that she hadn't encountered anyone particularly close to her in the Other Shore World."

The Second Prince frowned, "After hearing the answer, the Divine Emperor seemed to understand something, granted your mother a divine protection, and then went directly to kill Xiahou Shou."

Lin Yue became increasingly puzzled.

Is there a connection between the two?

"After killing Xiahou Shou, the Divine Emperor was also severely injured, His Earth Authority was restricted, and He decided to abandon the Human Clan and let the Primordial power destroy the world."

The Second Prince said, "After returning to Great Yong, He chose Xia Lie's biological mother as the womb for Xiahou Shou's reincarnation, and then returned to Jingzhou to make me relinquish control over the Great Yong Divine Formation in preparation to dissolve it."

Speaking of this, he sighed softly and said, "So, I had no choice but to kill Him."

Lin Yue became increasingly curious about what motivated the Divine Emperor to make such a decision.

"As for the reason your parents died..."

The Second Prince sighed, "Your father was killed by the Crown Prince, and your mother died naturally."

"The Crown Prince?" Lin Yue was stunned, "Wasn't Xiahong Feng the reincarnation of the Second Primordial Spirit of the Crown Prince? Killing himself?"

"Because your mother was a person whose destiny was difficult to decipher, and she was valued by the Divine Emperor, she must have held great secrets, so the Crown Prince intended to kill your mother." The Second Prince sighed.

Lin Yue was startled.

The Crown Prince had indeed been pursuing those whose destinies were difficult to decipher and even wanted to kill him.

But... because he was too special, the value gained from killing him wasn't as great as keeping him alive, and the Second Prince was also protecting him at all costs.

"Why?"

Lin Yue couldn't help but ask, "Why did the Crown Prince want to kill those whose destinies were difficult to decipher?"

"It can't exactly be called killing," the Second Prince shook his head slightly, "Actually, the Crown Prince intended to obtain the Divine Soul of those whose destinies were difficult to decipher."

He looked at Lin Yue and asked, "Do you know how the child of the Heavenly Dao drives the Heavenly Dao? Daoism is natural, and the Heavenly Dao is supposed to be an intangible rule. Manipulating it is akin to defying the heavens, and logically, invoking the Heavenly Dao should bring Heavenly Punishment."

Lin Yue was startled.

"Divines do not fear Heavenly Punishment because Earth Authority transcends the Heavenly Dao."

The Second Prince said, "The child of the Heavenly Dao, however, mobilizes the Heavenly Dao without receiving Heavenly Punishment, the key lies in those whose destinies are difficult to decipher."
