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

"Too slippery?"

Lin Yue couldn't help but glance at Yu Shiqi upon hearing this.

He probably understood what Star Lord meant.

Yu Shiqi was a granddaughter of the Sixteenth Prince, but it was unclear what her situation was.

However, she had inherited from the Sixteenth Prince and clearly possessed the same abilities.

The Grotto Heaven from the former dynasty could not be accessed by other Proving powerhouses under normal circumstances, yet the Sixteenth Prince managed to deceive his way in, showing his capabilities.

Even, the Crown Prince once said that the Sixteenth Prince had entered a place he shouldn't have, learned secrets he shouldn't know.

Although it sounded like the Sixteenth Prince had courted his own death, the secrets and sacred places fiercely guarded to the extent of erasing a prince highlighted the difficulty to access and know these, and it also highlighted the capabilities of the Sixteenth Prince.

Even Lin Yue couldn't do this, and it wasn't just about the path; it was also due to his extraordinary Cultivation Technique.

"Should I ask her after she completes her Harmonization?"

Lin Yue squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Star Lord, are the things you want to ask about related to how the Sixteenth Prince died? Or rather... what did he die for?"

The Star Lord, with his frost-white brows, couldn't help but laugh, "It seems you know something too."

He shook his head slightly and said, "This matter is quite dangerous; I advise you not to get involved. Even for you, the Crown Prince might not let you off."

Lin Yue clearly understood this in his heart.

However, he still felt somewhat puzzled and softly said, "Star Lord once mentioned we are similar, and also reminded me to avoid Reincarnation; how do you know about me?"

People from the Ancient Human Clan are certainly inscrutable.

But those inscrutable ones are not necessarily from the Ancient Human Clan; once they experience Reincarnation, they turn into the Eternal Night Clan, abandoned by the Ancients, unable to return to the embrace of the Ancients.

How did Star Lord realize it then?

"How do you know about you?"

Star Lord smiled, glanced at Yu Shiqi and Master next to him, and said, "This avatar of mine is too weak; I cannot perform Divine Thought Transmission. Are you sure about letting them know?"

Upon hearing this, Master and Yu Shiqi immediately left the quiet room and closed the door behind.

Lin Yue then set up another Barrier, and finally turned to Star Lord, saying, "Please go ahead."

"It's simple."

Star Lord said with a light smile, "I once met the seventeenth son of the Divine Emperor, although he was still in his mother's womb then, the essence of a person's Divine Soul does not change."

He took a moment to assess Lin Yue and said, "You are different from him, clearly you have seized his Prince Bloodline and soul and replaced him."

Lin Yue was slightly stunned.

So it was because Star Lord had seen Xia Lie while he was still in his mother's womb?

However...

The ability to discern the essence of a Divine Soul was not something achievable without proof of the path.

"The prince fell without causing any heavenly phenomena, which could be due to the transition of the bloodline and soul."

Star Lord leisurely said, "But you, having indeed killed the true Seventeenth Prince, should have been subjected to the backlash of the national fate, yet you didn't bear any monstrous sins. This proves you are also an inscrutable person, and having once felt the caring state of the Ancients, I could naturally see you are from the Ancient Human Clan."

Lin Yue finally understood.

But he still did not quite grasp, since only those inscrutable individuals cared for by the Ancients, after Proving, could recognize members from the Ancient Human Clan, how did the Crown Prince and the Second Prince know?

Unless from the beginning...

Lin Yue paused for a moment, and said, "It was said that the Ancient Human Clan perished, right?"

"Legends? How much of them are true?" Star Lord asked with a smile.

"The Ancient Human Clan hasn't perished?"

Lin Yue took a deep breath and then hesitated before saying, "Could it be... they are in another world? Star Lord, do you still remember what that world was like?"

"No need to pry," Star Lord looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile, saying, "I do remember the experiences of that world, although they are just fragments of memories, but I also know some things."

A slight excitement surged in Lin Yue's heart, unable to curb his curiosity, he asked, "Are the Ancient Human Clan all from that world?"

The Duke, having somehow learned the custom of giving New Year money before the nation's founding, mysteriously died not long afterward...

And the many Earth-related places he had discovered over the years, the people involved in the investigation, most of them were already deceased.

This led him to suspect—perhaps the inscrutable individuals, the so-called Ancient Human Clan, were transmigrators from Earth?

"That world?"

Star Lord laughed and said, "I see that you don't have any special Cultivation Techniques; we may not be from the same world, but... those inscrutable individuals indeed all come from one of those three worlds."

"Three worlds?" Lin Yue was slightly stunned, suddenly forming some conjectures.

"This is also an ancient secret from Ancient Times, but you deserve to know."

Star Lord looked at him and calmly said, "Before the beginning of Eternal Night, the Ancients had already created three new worlds for the Ancient Human Clan, then transferred the souls of the Ancient Human Clan there collectively; however, the physical bodies of the Ancient Human Clan truly perished, so from that perspective, they did indeed perish."

Lin Yue was struck internally.

The Ancients prepared three new worlds for the Ancient Human Clan?

"What are those three worlds like?"

Sensing the possibility of discovering his homeland, he couldn't help but probe further.

Star Lord's lips curled into a hint of a smile, and he said, "I can tell you such secrets, but will you grant me a request?"
