Chapter 1654: Chapter 1655: The Secret of the Treasure Bead

Su Chengyu listened to this unexpected answer, raising his head in surprise and looking at the other person with confusion.

The Green Hillock Empress reached out with her jade-like hand to touch Su Chengyu’s face, softly saying, "Your grandfather’s departure was destined. Even if Yang Chengyin hadn’t acted back then, he would have inevitably temporarily disappeared from the Capital City, with perhaps only his name not being erased."

"Then what about Yang Chengyin—"

"The Xia Country was the fallback plan he left for himself. After doing that thing, whether he succeeded or failed, with the Xia Country there, your grandfather had room to retreat. Yang Chengyin knew this, so he acted at that time to brand him as a so-called traitor."

"Your grandfather didn’t act against him; first, because he couldn’t bear to, and second, because it was unnecessary. The great momentum of the Xia Country was already established, the most important thing for him was already accomplished, and whether anyone in the Xia Country remembered him or was willing to assist him was not important in his eyes."

"Why isn’t it important? Even if Grandfather really had other things to do and needed to leave, he shouldn’t have been branded a traitor."

"He shouldn’t, but that’s just the human heart."

The Green Hillock Empress spoke with a sense of acceptance: "You don’t think your grandfather didn’t foresee the ’hare is dead and the hound is cooked’, ’the birds are gone, the bow is put away’ scenario, do you? What he didn’t foresee in the end was just who would act against him. Disappointment outweighed despair, and that’s why he did nothing."

Su Chengyu remained silent, his mind flashing back to the desolate figure of Su Linyuan on the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map, somewhat understanding Su Linyuan’s Mind State at that time.

After taking a deep breath, Su Chengyu clenched his fists: "Grandfather may no longer be here, but I care, and even if he accepted all this, I want those people to pay the appropriate price."

The Green Hillock Empress smiled, not a hint of worry on her face, only satisfaction.

"Yes, I believe you can do it. If your grandfather knew you were willing to put in this effort, he would certainly be very happy."

Upon hearing this answer, Su Chengyu’s previous inner confusion finally dissipated somewhat. Once he stabilized his emotions, he turned to ask.

"Then back then, why did Grandfather need to leave the Xia Country?"

"What do you think?"

With no response forthcoming, Su Chengyu suddenly guessed the implication and bit his lip, saying.

"Is it really the Great Catastrophe of Heaven and Earth?"

The Green Hillock Empress nodded in satisfaction, her gaze falling on Yu Yanshu beyond the blue light: "I suppose your grandfather didn’t expect that after you entered this side of the world, you would get involved in this matter and become so deeply entrenched. But right now, since you are a crucial Contract in this vortex, there are some things that you indeed need to know."

Su Chengyu looked up at the Green Hillock Empress, waiting for her next words.

"Just as you thought, the Great Catastrophe of Heaven and Earth was the most important thing in your grandfather’s eyes. He was a hero, a true hero. Understanding that the Great Catastrophe was a disaster for the whole Human Clan, he did everything he could to prevent it from happening. Leaving the Su Clan was for this matter, assisting in the establishment of the Xia Country was for this matter, creating the Demon Slayer Department for human-demon harmony, training Splitting Heaven to become the new generation’s prodigy, and even his final retreat—all was for this matter."

Su Chengyu blinked, looking at the other person, saying: "So was my grandfather with you too?"

"That’s impossible! I am confident that he can remain rational in front of anything, but not in front of me."

The Empress.

Despite those words conveying a sense of pettiness, in them, Su Chengyu sensed an undeniable feel of Dominance.

Right, his grandmother, once, wasn’t she also an unparalleled existence, and if she hadn’t followed his grandfather...

No... there are no ’ifs’ in this world.

"So you mean to say that Grandfather had guessed he’d be isolated and betrayed by everyone back then."

The Green Hillock Empress chuckled softly, exhaling a long sigh: "Judging from the current results, it’s hard not to be so. Before the incident, he let Splitting Heaven leave, and I was arranged to leave this world too. It’s hard not to feel that everything was a decision he made after knowing what was going to happen."

"I don’t understand."

Su Chengyu shook his head.

Even if he understood that Su Linyuan’s true demise had no direct link to this matter, he still couldn’t comprehend why his grandfather accepted his social disappearance in the Xia Country this way.

"It’s normal. The things he did, many couldn’t understand, including me. I only know..."

"For the Xia Country, is that it?"

Su Chengyu slowly interrupted the Green Hillock Empress’s words, his mind echoing with Su Linyuan’s last instructions to him within the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map.

"The Xia Country is the possession of the Zhao Family, but for its rise, your grandfather played a critical role. It’s fair to say that for the Xia Country to have its current status, your grandfather did more than anyone else."

"Grandfather intended to build a community of shared destiny, to provide peace and stability under which to withstand the Demonic Path, or perhaps to counter the Great Catastrophe of Heaven and Earth’s environment."

"Seems you do understand something."

The Green Hillock Empress listened to Su Chengyu’s words, speaking with a satisfied tone. For Su Chengyu, who had been persistent about Su Linyuan’s matters for the first half of his life, being able to accept this conclusion was certainly not easy.

Su Chengyu sighed deeply: "You’re right, Grandfather is a hero, I don’t compare to him, I will never be such a person in this lifetime."

"Actually, he also had flaws..."

Surprised, Su Chengyu looked up, curiously eyeing the Green Hillock Empress for the next part.

Yet, a hint of fox-like cunning flashed on that beautiful face, and she immediately changed the subject.

"Of course, I’m not telling you what these are, if there’s a chance, you’ll have to find them yourself."

Su Chengyu swallowed hard in helplessness but dared not press further. After calming his emotions, his gaze fell on the core in front of the Green Hillock Empress, speaking softly at the milky white column at her chest.

"Will you still be here afterward?"

"Disappearing is unlikely. Although I’m merely a Remnant Soul, unlike those souls returning home, I reside within the Heavenly Fox Orb. This consumed a lot, in the short term, I can’t manifest again, but before what’s in the Heavenly Fox Orb is entirely absorbed, I won’t disappear."

Su Chengyu blinked in amazement: "Didn’t the Heavenly Fox Orb give birth to several Demon Gods for the Qiuqiu Fox Clan, can its contents still be fully absorbed?"

"Difficult, but not impossible. And in fact, you have already done something similar once."

The Green Hillock Empress looked mischievously at Su Chengyu.

Seeing this expression, Su Chengyu finally realized completely, staring at the milky Heavenly Bead in the Green Hillock Empress’s hand and mumbled.

"The Heavenly Fox Orb is basically a Hongmeng Heavenly Book..."
