Comprehension Ability: I Come From the Great Emperor Family
Chapter 157 - 149: Secrets! Su Nan, the Disgrace of the Human Race?

Chapter 157: Chapter 149: Secrets! Su Nan, the Disgrace of the Human Race?

"Why does the Domain Master say such things?"

The calm demeanor of Xuan Qingzi was gone, replaced by gravitas.

It’s not strange for a Domain Master to ask about their fate, but asking how many years they have left is truly alarming.

As a Peak of Quasi-Emperor with an Emperor’s Weapon for protection, they are essentially invincible.

If it weren’t for an unprecedented event, Su Nan wouldn’t act this way.

"Daoist, do you know of the Dark Forbidden Area?"

Su Nan looked into the distance and spoke softly.

"I’ve heard my master mention it."

Xuan Qingzi’s eyes turned icy, "They are a bunch of scum who completely betrayed the Human Race in pursuit of immortality."

"It is said that in the Ancient Times, there was a Great Emperor whose lifespan was at its end, yet he was unwilling to die, so he used extraordinary means to summon Outer Domain demons."

"They abandoned their human identity, transformed their own bloodlines, and became undying demonic beings."

Few in the world know about the Dark Forbidden Area, as every generation of Human Great Emperors deliberately seals the information.

Because the allure of immortality is too great.

If people knew the Dark Forbidden Area might hold the secret to immortality, those Great Saints and Quasi-Emperors with little time left would go mad.

Even without the spread of the world’s constraints, the sheer madness of those people would release those terrifying demons!

At that time, with no Great Emperor in the Human Race, the entire Cangyan Continent would be assimilated by the demons.

Therefore, every generation of Human Great Emperors suppress the Dark Forbidden Area and reinforce the seal before they die.

"The curse of immortality."

Su Nan sighed deeply, "The continuation of the Human Race to this day relies on the steadfast will of those Great Emperors."

"But this can’t last forever; it’s easy to open Pandora’s box, but closing it is extremely difficult."

"There hasn’t been an astonishing Great Emperor in the Human Race for a long time."

"Look at history, have you not noticed that the Great Emperors of recent times are weaker one by one?"

Xuan Qingzi’s expression changed dramatically.

Though all are Great Emperors, there are differences in strength.

In the Ancient Times, the Martial Ancestor was so powerful that he could open the heavens and sweep the Forbidden Zone, leaving no more immortal disasters for an entire era.

In the times of old, the Daoist Venerable, with his ability to transform into The Three Pristine Ones and sky-reaching Daoist arts, kept the beings of the Forbidden Zone from daring to step beyond the border.

The histories record that the Great Emperors of the Ancient and Older Times were all extraordinary individuals.

During those times, the Dark Forbidden Area couldn’t cause any waves, being firmly suppressed by the Great Emperors.

But until recent times...

The Human Race’s Great Emperors still existed but no longer possessed the unrivaled talents to defeat all.

It was also in recent times that the Dark Forbidden Area became active again, even frequently causing Great Emperors to bleed, with the continent suffering numerous casualties.

"Do you know why?"

Su Nan pointed to the sky above, speaking softly, "It is the weakening fate."

Xuan Qingzi’s face completely changed, "How is that possible! Can the heavens also be damaged?"

"Why wouldn’t it be?"

Su Nan gazed at the seemingly prosperous heavens, speaking deeply, "Those demons are gradually consuming this world."

"They are suppressed deep underground, unable to cause casualties to living beings, yet they constantly pollute this world."

"Resources on the continent are depleting, talented cultivators are decreasing, and the Heavenly Dao is weakening."

"The Heavenly Dao can’t wait any longer. If I’m not mistaken, this millennium is when the last Great Emperor of fate can be born."

"The decisive battle is coming!"

Just listening made Xuan Qingzi’s scalp tingle, hair standing on end.

Vision appeared before him of the continent shattering, myriad beings roaring, mountains of corpses, and seas of blood!

"How could it be, how could it be like this..."

Xuan Qingzi turned pale as he saw a glimpse of the future, which was definitely not an illusion.

But a warning from the divination of fate after Su Nan revealed the cause and effect!

In other words, what Su Nan said was true!

"Don’t be afraid, this era will be difficult, but it will also be brilliant."

Su Nan’s face showed no worry, instead he smiled lightly, "Don’t underestimate our world."

"The last fate will be very strong, it’s the final hope."

"In this era, a multitude of celestial talents will emerge, and various Grotto Heavens and blessed lands will continuously appear."

"For the final battle, it will give its all to create an unparalleled Great Emperor."

"Victory, and the ages to come will be smooth."

"Defeat, and the continent will shatter, myriad beings extinguished."

Xuan Qingzi’s face was pale and bloodless, his mind in turmoil from hearing such secrets for the first time.

Yet suddenly, he looked up at Su Nan, speaking with a severe tone, almost a question, "Why does the Domain Master know these things?"

In an era without Great Emperors, who could know such top-secret information?

There was only one possibility!

The Dark Forbidden Area!

"You are very smart."

Seeing this, Su Nan praised him, then after a moment of silence, he spoke, "You guessed right, this information was told to me by a Master of the Forbidden Area."

"After countless years, those seals can no longer contain them."

"When I was young, I made a deal with that person."

Xuan Qingzi’s face was sullen and dark, "You actually made a deal with those scum?"

"Yes, survival, is it really so disgraceful?"

Su Nan smiled indifferently, "Back then, the Demon Cult killed my parents, slaughtered my clan."

"If not for serendipity, how could a small family like the Su family overthrow such a vast Demon Cult?"

"When faced with the extermination of one’s clan, never mind those scum, even demons, so what?"

Listening to this, Xuan Qingzi remained silent.

In terms of Human Race’s righteousness, Su Nan was terribly wrong.

But from Su Nan’s perspective, there seemed to be no other path.

"The Master of the Forbidden Area favored my talent, wanting me to become his subordinate, promising me a position below one, above many."

Su Nan slowly clenched his hand, the Great Cyan Spear appearing in his hand, and said calmly:

"I agreed."

"From that day on, the Su family had the Emperor’s Weapon, had a legacy, had the power to overthrow the Demon Cult!"

"Just waiting for the day darkness descends, I will cast myself into the Forbidden Area, becoming that Human Race... scum!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Qingzi clenched his fist tightly, anger rising against the Demon Cult of the past.

To be favored by a Master of the Dark Forbidden Area and promised a position below one, above many, it showed how terrifying Su Nan’s talent was.

Had he developed normally, even if slower, Su Nan could have reached the peak!

But such an astonishingly talented strongman was forced into darkness by the Demon Cult!

This is a tremendous loss to the Human Race!

"Do you now understand why, knowing Chang Qing’s talent, I still never told him the truth about his lineage?"

Su Nan looked at Su Changqing practicing sword below, his eyes complicated as he spoke.

"Protection, huh..." Xuan Qingzi murmured softly.

"Heh, I don’t want Chang Qing to know that his father is a Human Race scum."

Looking at Su Changqing, pride flashed in Su Nan’s eyes,

"Chang Qing’s talent is strong, even surpassing mine by far, with such talent, he is bound to make a name for himself."

"He should be admired by thousands, not condemned because of me."

"I suppress his talent because, in the woods, a sapling that hasn’t grown is just a stronger ant."

"I can’t protect him for long."

As he spoke, Su Nan laughed lightly again, "But it’s much better now."

"Even without me, without the Su family, with Li Qingchen and Wu Jiuling around, no one would dare bully him lightly."

"What I have to do is pave as much of a road for him as possible in the remaining time."

"Therefore..."

He paused for a moment, looking at Xuan Qingzi, "I want to know how much time I have left."

Xuan Qingzi remained silent for a long time, then nodded,

"I will help you!"
