296: Shocking Secrets

Chu Mo turned his head, "What exactly do you mean...?"

He was stunned, because Shen Qingqiu, who was standing behind him, was rustling as he took off his clothes.

"Holy crap!"

"Men and women should not touch each other intimately! If you... if you do that again, I'm going to call for help!"

Chu Mo was so scared he almost jumped out of the blood pool.

Is this reasonable?!

Is this normal?!

Shen Qingqiu completely ignored the terrified expression on Chu Mo's face and continued to undress, then walked into the blood pool, letting the blood cover half of his body.

Next, there was no inappropriate scene; Shen Qingqiu just soaked in the blood pool, like... soaking in a hot spring?

Chu Mo looked at the enjoying Shen Qingqiu, with countless question marks popping up in his head.

What exactly is going on here?

"Are you perhaps wondering what's going on?"

Holy crap! Mind reading?!

"How could anyone in this world possibly have mind reading abilities?! Even the Heavenly Emperor and Devil Emperor couldn't see through people's hearts; otherwise, they wouldn't have been schemed against and both died."

No, you...

Chu Mo looked at Shen Qingqiu with an incredibly strange gaze.

Damn it, and he said he couldn't read minds.

"The thoughts in your heart are all written on your face; with a little observation, one can know what you're thinking right now."

Silence, still silence.

Chu Mo took several deep breaths before looking at Shen Qingqiu, who was soaking in the blood pool opposite him: "...Did you really observe? Since you came down to soak in the hot spring... blood pool, you haven't even glanced at me. What did you observe?"

"What the eyes see is not necessarily real."

"So, you used mind reading to read minds?"

"Don't you have Divine Sense? I'm truly impressed."

"...Apparently, it's true... Wait, no! If you use Divine Sense, wouldn't you be able to see my whole body!!!"

Chu Mo quickly covered his vital parts.

Shen Qingqiu slowly shook his head, "I'm not interested in those few pounds of flesh on your body. Let's talk about our business instead."

No, Shen Qingqiu, you're a bit terrifyingly unfamiliar right now.

Where's my pure-hearted Senior Brother? Call him back!

Chu Mo really wanted to say these words, but he couldn't.

Because he couldn't defeat him.

Also, the other party mentioned earlier that the Devil Emperor and Heavenly Emperor were schemed against and both died because they couldn't see through people's hearts...

Is this true?

"What is your true identity?! The Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation? No, the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation shouldn't have such heavy Devilish Qi on him. Then are you the Devil Emperor's Reincarnation!?"

Chu Mo stated his judgment of Shen Qingqiu's identity based on the existing information.

"Wrong!"

Shen Qingqiu still maintained his unhurried demeanor, and he didn't seem to be lying.

Of course, in this situation, he wouldn't bother to lie.

Because there was no need.

"Not the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation, nor the Devil Emperor's Reincarnation? Then are you from the Demon Race?! A great general of the Demon Race?" Chu Mo guessed again.

"What you said could fit, but what I want to tell you is that I am considered a Demon Race, but not in the conventional sense."

Chu Mo: "..."

Is there anything that can't be said directly?

He hated those old fogeys who spoke in riddles the most. Chu Motou was like that, and now he was like that too. If he couldn't beat them, he would have beaten them to death.

"Are you Shen Qingqiu right now?" Chu Mo continued to ask.

He remembered that he was targeted by a cunning Demon Race member and lost a creation jade lotus that was said to allow direct Immortal Ascension after refining.

Could Shen Qingqiu have fallen into a trap?!

"I am not Shen Qingqiu."

"Then he..."

"He's asleep. He will wake up when I leave."

These words contained a huge amount of information, and Chu Mo felt he needed to analyze it frame by frame.

Additionally, he had another question.

"Just now I heard you say that the Devil Emperor and Heavenly Emperor were schemed against and both died. Then... where are their current Reincarnation bodies...?"

"Gone."

"Huh?! Gone!"

Chu Mo himself jumped out of the blood pool, then realized he was exposed and immediately sank back down.

After adjusting his emotions, he said to the 'Shen Qingqiu' in front of him: "Those Demon Race said that after the Heavenly Emperor fell, his true spirit entered Reincarnation, and he needed to undergo Reincarnation and leave this space to regain his imperial throne..."

"Demon Race? Which Demon Race told you that?!"

With a 'splash' of water, 'Shen Qingqiu' surged in the blood and came to Chu Mo's side, placing a hand on his shoulder.

Chu Mo felt a wave of discomfort, but he didn't push the other person away without any emotional intelligence.

Now, the mist was thick, and Chu Mo, being in the mist, couldn't see the path clearly. The correct path was also told to him by others.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to express his own views.

Instead, he told 'Shen Qingqiu' about how he was harmed by the Demon Race in the name of the Immortal Realm, with the assistance of the creation jade lotus.

"Interesting! Truly interesting! Xuan Ling is still playing such a hand after all this time. He's really quite boring."

'Shen Qingqiu' smiled, his laughter full of disdain.

"What do you mean?!"

Through these words, Chu Mo knew that this guy definitely knew many things he didn't.

'Shen Qingqiu' did not answer immediately, but instead asked, "What do you think you are?"

"A human! What else could I be?!" Chu Mo answered, puzzled, but he quickly reacted.

If it were really that simple, would 'Shen Qingqiu' be smiling so slyly?

So, the answer definitely isn't human.

Then what is it?

A Cultivator? A Demon Race member?

What exactly is it? What am I?

No! Did I miss something?

Chu Mo gradually fell into a daze, his mind filled with: Who am I?

"A friendly reminder, this is an Immortal-Demon Battlefield, and countless Immortals and Demons have fallen on this Immortal-Demon Battlefield. So... do you have an answer?"

'Shen Qingqiu' did not directly reveal the answer. He seemed very pleased to see Chu Mo racking his brains but getting nowhere.

"Immortal... Demon..."

"Immortals and Demons fallen..."

Chu Mo's eyes gradually brightened. He had touched upon the answer.

Just as he was about to speak, 'Shen Qingqiu' suddenly spoke.

"That's right!"

"After Immortals and Demons die, their remnant souls do not disperse."

"There is no so-called Reincarnation here, so naturally, there are no 'people'. You are all ghosts, but not ordinary ghosts."

"You know the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, right? That's right, this world is equivalent to a very complete Ten Thousand Souls Banner. All of you are under Xuan Ling's control."

"The so-called Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation and Devil Emperor's Reincarnation were all created by him."

"Think about it, where did all the information you know come from? From others' mouths? Ancient relics? Or the so-called Awakening of past memories?"

"Altering traces and memories is actually not difficult for us!"

"In other words, all the information you know is merely information we have provided. You can only know what information we want you to know."

The amount of information in these words was unimaginably vast, and Chu Mo simply couldn't digest it.

He took a deep breath and continued to ask.

"What is the purpose of Xuan Ling, as you call him, toying with all living beings like this? Don't tell me it's just for fun; I don't believe he meticulously arranged everything just for play."

'Shen Qingqiu' smiled faintly: "Xuan Ling is inherently a very boring fellow, but he's not doing these things just for fun. He's doing it for..."
