"Senior is the Void Emperor?!"
Xiao Yan was truly shocked by this news. No matter how powerful Gu Yuan was, he was still within the scope of the mainland, while the "Emperor" had long since disappeared from the mainland.
Xiao Yan also learned from Yao Lao's previous accounts that even something with the slightest connection to a Dou Di could cause a bloodbath across the entire continent!
Now, a real Dou Di was right in front of him, and Xiao Yan was stunned and stood there. The shock he had received in the past few days was too great.
The Void Emperor smiled kindly and said, "What's wrong? Doesn't the old man look like it?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan snapped out of his daze, scratched his head, and said, "No, I was just a little surprised."
The old man slowly said, "To be precise, I am a wisp of Dou Di's will left behind by the Void Heaven Emperor in this world. The Void Heaven Emperor's true body has long since left this world."
Xiao Yan recalled the exchange between Gu Yuan and Lu Huangtian, which was the first time he had learned that life and worlds existed beyond the Dou Qi Continent. Of course, what shocked Xiao Yan even more was the Dou Di's all-encompassing power. Even without his true body, a mere thought could still possess such formidable strength, as if it had a complete and independent consciousness.
Xiao Yan sighed inwardly: The Dou Di is truly omnipotent!
"The Soul Transference Technique you learned was left behind by my true self, and by chance it ended up in your hands," the Dou Di thought of the Void Emperor continued.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up. The Soul Transfer Technique could transform battle qi into soul power; this method was simply miraculous. And now, seeing the Void Emperor's thoughts, Xiao Yan was deeply moved.
After all, the Soul Transfer Technique he obtained was only a fragment, and the most important means of attacking with soul power was completely blank. If he could obtain the second part, he would definitely be able to use his soul power to become an absolute killing move against enemies in the future.
The Void Emperor's consciousness seemed to see through this, and he said with a smile, "I am just a consciousness. I don't have the subsequent cultivation methods for the Soul Transfer Technique. Little brat, don't try to mess with this old man."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's burning desire instantly subsided, but he still said nonchalantly, "The Soul Transfer Technique is incredibly skillful. I am already very fortunate to have obtained the incomplete scroll. I should not be greedy."
Seeing Xiao Yan, Di Nian stroked his beard with some satisfaction and said, "You're not a bad kid."
Xiao Yan replied, "Senior, you flatter me. May I ask what brings you here?"
The Void Emperor's will had never appeared before the people of the Northwest Region, and no one had ever mentioned it during Xiao Yan's half-year stay in Tianlan City. So there must be a reason why the Void Emperor appeared to find him today.
Di Nian was silent for a moment, then asked, "Little one, do you remember where you came from?"
Xiao Yan was also somewhat puzzled by the question, and then replied, "I come from the Jia Ma Empire, Wutan City."
Di Nian then smiled mysteriously and pointed at Xiao Yan from mid-air. Xiao Yan felt Yao Lao's aura suddenly subside.
Di Nian then asked meaningfully, "I'm asking about before that!"
Upon hearing Di Nian's question, Xiao Yan felt as if he had been imprisoned by something, unable to move his entire body.
"...Before that...where did I come from?"
Xiao Yan felt that some fragments hidden deep in his memory, which would occasionally flash in the quiet of the night, suddenly emerged simultaneously during Di Nian's question.
"I come from another world, Earth!" Xiao Yan remembered everything!
I do not belong to this world. I am not a native of the Dou Qi Continent. I come from a completely different world—Earth.
Xiao Yan remembered that he sometimes felt something was off, but it was as if he had forgotten something important. No matter how hard he tried to recall it, he couldn't, and he had completely forgotten about it.
Di Nian nodded and said, "Speaking of which, I personally witnessed your arrival in this world."
"The reason I was left behind by the Void Emperor is entirely because of a mistake he made, and it is also because of this mistake that we are able to communicate here today. This matter should not be known to others, so your teacher and that little child should take a nap first."
Xiao Yan didn't dare to breathe loudly at this moment, because he had a premonition that he was about to learn some of the true secrets of the continent.
The voice of Emperor Xutian slowly resounded like the torrent of time: "My true self was originally born in the Northwest Region. When I was young, my parents and family all died in the war. This caused me to have a deep-seated obsession. After advancing to become a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, I did not choose to stay in the Central State, but returned to the Northwest Region."
"The previous Dou Di predecessors on the continent established an ironclad rule: one must advance to Dou Di within the Central Continent; no one is allowed to break through to Dou Di outside of the Central Continent!"
Xiao Yan had never heard of this decree before, but upon further reflection, he realized that the strongest in his own Jia Ma Empire and the Northwest Region were worlds apart from Dou Zun and Dou Zong, let alone the advancement to Dou Di.
Di Nian continued, "At that time, I had already become the number one person on the continent. I stubbornly believed that the aura generated by the advancement of Dou Di would definitely improve the Northwest Region, so I advanced to Dou Di in the Northwest Region."
Then, a hint of regret appeared in Di Nian's eyes. Xiao Yan tentatively asked, "Did you encounter a problem with your advancement, Senior?"
Di Nian shook his head and said, "The advancement went very smoothly without any problems. However, when I successfully broke through to the Dou Di level, the entire Northwest Region was shaken by my aura, and a terrifying spatial vortex appeared."
"In just a dozen breaths, a city was swallowed up and torn apart by the vortex."
"That's when I realized that our world is inherently divided into regions that are stable and regions that are weak. My forced breakthrough in the Northwest Region caused the entire continent to become unstable due to the terrifying aura of a Dou Di!"
Xiao Yan couldn't help but click his tongue. The power that could shake the entire continent must be terrifying. In front of a Dou Di, those so-called strong experts and ants would probably be no different.
"Afterwards, in order to make up for my mistake, I took action to stabilize the continent, but even the power of a Dou Di was not enough in front of a plane. In the end, I made up for the oversight in breaking through to Dou Di by using a small space."
"But a gap is still a gap, allowing the outside world to have contact with the Dou Qi Continent. Over the years, two groups of people have entered the Dou Qi Continent by chance. One is the Lu Huangtian clan, who have already perished, and the other is you, little child."
