Throughout the ages, the name of Heaven-Venerable has struck terror into countless life races across the starry seas!
Rising from humble beginnings, the Human Race grew strong—much of the credit belongs to the Heaven-Venerables of this era.
Everyone knows that the Human Heaven-Venerables are absolute, invincible beings among those of the same realm—universally recognized as the strongest of their tier. Their supremacy even extends to the highest echelons of power: if a Heaven-Venerable survives, they are destined to ascend to the Supreme.
So long as a Heaven-Venerable lives, none at the Supreme level can rival them.
Whether ordinary life races or the other three Supreme Races, no innate talent matters—if a lone Supreme lifeform faces a Human Heaven-Venerable head-on, the only way to survive is: flee! Flee! Flee!
——
In that ancient era, a world-shaking war swept across the universe, its blazing fires reaching every corner. Rather than the Human Race simply rising up, it was the Heaven-Venerables who led the charge—commanding the myriad races of the starry skies, daring to take the lead and open a new epoch. In those distant years, one Heaven-Venerable after another fearlessly waged war against the Shenro Clan.
Ordinary people have no idea, nor do they have the right to know—even Primeval-tier talents of the Spark-Heritage Zone lack permission to access or investigate that dark chapter of history.
But.
How could Qin Yi not know?
As the Ancient King—the supreme monarch of the Cosmic Ancient Kingdom—Qin Yi stands as the Human Race’s top-tier combat power, second only to the Supremes. Beyond the true history of the Star-Sky Humans, he knows a thing or two about cosmic secrets like the Fate Rebel.
“Blade-Scar Heaven-Venerable thinks highly of Andrew Han.”
Gazing at Argo Lu’s half-smile, Qin Yi’s expression changed; shaken and unwilling, he began to speculate.
Just moments before, he had personally witnessed the gray-white River of Fate swirling above Andrew Han’s head, silently withdrawing into the depths of the cosmos.
From the moment Heaven-King Andrew Han was attacked, Path-Protector Lucas Young risked his life, and now, with Qin Yi receiving a Supreme decree and arriving at the Archaic Hall, less than half an hour has actually passed.
“Could it be, could it be…”
“Is it because of the Fate Rebel’s unique status?”
The Fate Rebel gains the favor of Fate, carrying the subconscious will of all living beings to resist. That’s why Blade-Scar Heaven-Venerable believes this junior, Andrew Han, might have a chance to claim the Heaven-Venerable seat.
Yes, yes, that must be it—it’s surely because of the Fate Rebel. What else could it be… At least, Qin Yi can’t think of another reason; he sees no qualification in Andrew Han to become a Heaven-Venerable, especially since the secrets of Heaven-Venerables are tied to the deepest foundations of the Star-Sky Humans.
But when it comes to the secrets of the Heaven-Venerables, he doesn’t know much.
As for the kings of ancient kingdoms and the heads of apex institutions, everyone is curious about this. It’s not just Qin Yi who is in the dark—even Argo Lu, the high-ranking official standing before him in the Hall, knows nothing of it.
Ancient King Qin Yi was still pondering.
At that moment—
Argo Lu interrupted his wandering thoughts with a cold snort.
“Qin Yi.” Argo Lu tapped his milky-white mask and said leisurely, “Stop daydreaming here. Who do you think you are? Just an Ancient King—how could you presume to guess the mind of Blade-Scar Heaven-Venerable?”
Argo Lu, the ancient Human, had escorted Andrew Han to the Light Clan Territory days ago. Now, as the representative of the Archaic Hall, he was formally receiving Qin Yi’s report—and given their past grievances, he certainly wasn’t about to be cordial.
In terms of actual authority, he was inferior to the king of an ancient kingdom.
Yet if it came to combat strength, Argo Lu was slightly stronger than his old friend Qin Yi.
“I’ll say just one thing.”
Argo Lu fixed his gaze on Qin Yi, staring at this comrade and old friend after years apart: “Though we are both flawless, complete Eternal Kings, that junior Andrew Han is not like us. I advise you not to judge him with an old man’s eyes.”
