Ye Chen frowned slightly, glancing at the six of them, and understood. “My Master, although he has taken countless lives in his lifetime, is not inherently bloodthirsty. If your Seventh Sister had not provoked him, why would he move against a mere woman without reason?”

“Bullshit!” the handsome man in blue roared. “Pure, unadulterated bullshit! That dog-cursed Heavenly Dao, utterly insane! Never mind that my Seventh Sister loved him so dearly, but the bastard—after doing that with my Seventh Sister, he abandoned her and left! She ignored all warnings and pursued him, and since then, we’ve had no word. Only after several million years of searching did we finally discover my Seventh Sister’s corpse in the South Sea!”

Ye Chen frowned subtly, secretly thinking that Master Heavenly Dao was not the type of person they described. However, seeing the look on the blue-clothed man’s face, it didn't seem like a lie, causing Ye Chen’s brow to furrow further. “Perhaps your Seventh Sister was killed by someone else. How can you be certain it was at the hands of my Master?”

“Heh!” the old man in the white robe sneered. “I verified the corpse of the Seventh Sister. She died under high-intensity condensed divine power. Only the Heavenly Dao Scripture results in such high-intensity condensed divine power, and the one who killed my Seventh Sister must have cultivated the Heavenly Dao Scripture past the sixth level! Furthermore, before my Seventh Sister died, she actually carved the name of that bastard, Heavenly Dao, into the ground! The inscription is so deep that countless years have failed to erase it. It shows that my Seventh Sister must have died filled with righteous indignation and despair!” As he spoke, recalling the state of his Seventh Sister’s remains, overwhelming grief washed over him, and tears streamed down his face.

Ye Chen remained silent for a moment. He naturally knew that across the entire Ancient Continent, only his Master could have cultivated the Heavenly Dao Scripture to the sixth level and beyond.

But… was it truly so?

Ye Chen found it difficult to accept.

That towering, supremely magnificent figure. That man who defied the world, unrestrained and arrogant. Could he truly be a scumbag who would take a woman’s virtue and then discard and murder her?

The sturdy man saw that Ye Chen was speechless, a cold, mocking curve playing on his lips. “Today, your Master’s sins shall be paid for by you! I advise you to commit suicide quickly; it will be less painful than if we do the deed. Otherwise, death will be the least of your concerns!”

Seeing Ye Chen’s darkening expression, Bai Yijun’s delicate eyebrows furrowed. Her graceful form shifted lightly as she moved, stepping in front of Ye Chen and looking up at the six figures in the sky. She spoke coldly, “If Heavenly Dao killed your Seventh Sister, it wasn't him! If you seek vengeance, go find Heavenly Dao!”

The old man in the white robe glared furiously. “Heavenly Dao is long dead, reduced to dust! Where would we find him?”

Bai Yijun said indifferently, “It’s better that way, saving you from losing your own lives.”

The Six Stars of the Big Dipper erupted in fury. Looking at the delicate girl, their eyes seemed ready to spit fire. The white-robed elder, who had the quickest temper, laughed wildly in his rage. With a massive grab, the surrounding air currents roared and burst apart, coalescing into a fierce and terrifying palm that slammed downward.

This single strike threatened to shatter the entire Genius Peak across the nine light-years! The surrounding currents of air raced frantically, making the world seem like it was ending.

“Fifth Brother, no!” The sturdy man, witnessing the power of the blow, knew this was his Fifth Brother’s full-force strike in extreme anger—a peak-level display of transcendent power. If this continued, even a Middle-tier Divine Emperor would be severely injured, let alone two juniors?

However, the palm strike had already been unleashed; it was too late to stop it. Although the white-robed elder looked the oldest among them, he was actually ranked fifth.

A cold light flashed in Bai Yijun’s eyes as she raised her finger, preparing to strike. Just then, the entire sky shuddered violently. A hand, light and gentle, parted the clouds and mist, and a ray of seven-colored light shone down. Under this light, the vast and mighty energy condensed into a palm began to dissolve rapidly, like snow melting on ice.

The pupils of everyone present constricted, the greatest shock belonging to the Six Stars of the Big Dipper. All six looked up. In the cloud-like mist, a blaze of dazzling, seven-colored light erupted, accompanied by waves of ethereal music that echoed through the heavens like wind chimes. The sound calmed their hearts, and the murderous intent within them receded like a tide, smoothed away by a gentle, small hand.

From within the seven-colored radiance, a graceful figure slowly emerged. Her delicate body was shrouded in a veil of colorful mist, obscuring her exact form. A lighter veil covered her exquisitely beautiful face, revealing only a pair of bright, clear eyes.

“Goddess of the Divine Realm!” “How is this possible? Why is she here!” “Could it be that experts from the Divine Realm Civilization have also arrived?”

The Six Stars of the Big Dipper, the numerous reporters on Genius Peak, and everyone watching on television stared, their minds reeling with inexpressible shock. After all, the Goddess of the Divine Realm was the ruler of the entire Divine Realm Civilization! The Lord of Civilization! One could only imagine how terrifying the strength of a civilization’s ruler must be! This was a terrifying expert who surpassed the Divine Emperor realm!

The faces of the Six Stars of the Big Dipper changed slightly. The sturdy man spoke in a low voice, “Goddess Shen Shuang, this boy is ours. Please do not interfere!”

The woman named Shen Shuang possessed peerless grace. She stood casually in the void, her expression serene, every gesture exuding an atmosphere of suffocating, artistic beauty, as if her every movement followed the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, giving the impression of absolute perfection. Her clear, bright eyes gazed at Ye Chen for a moment before she turned, stating flatly, “I want this person!” Her voice was plain, yet it carried an unquestionable authority.

The Six Stars of the Big Dipper choked, then flared up in anger. The white-robed elder shouted angrily, “Are you trying to bully the weak with your strength? I admit that the six of us combined are no match for you, but if you push me too far, I will fight you to the death!” The shapely woman beside him added coldly, “Though we are inferior to you, if it truly comes to blows, you will regret it!”

“Oh?” Shen Shuang arched an elegant eyebrow. “Are you threatening me? Disappear from my sight immediately, or I will not be responsible for any casualties.”

The Six Stars of the Big Dipper laughed in their rage, their faces turning scarlet. They had traversed the world for their entire lives and never suffered such humiliation. Each clenched their fists, their bodies trembling slightly with fury.

The man in blue roared, “I know you want the Heavenly Dao Scripture and the Heavenly Dao Divine Boat. Take them! All we want is the life of this boy!”

Ye Chen stood aside, hearing their words make him seem like fish on a chopping block, ready to be dealt with at any moment. He sneered inwardly but remained silent, watching quietly.

“I want both the Heavenly Dao Scripture and this person,” Shen Shuang said, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, her expression cold.

The Six Stars of the Big Dipper glared, their anger erupting like volcanoes, their faces livid as they stared at this beautiful yet infuriating woman.

“You are pressing us too far!!!” “What use is a lowly life like his to you!” “Bastard, are you truly forcing our hand?!”

They were maddened with rage. If not for their genuine fear of Shen Shuang’s terrifying power, coupled with their formidable self-control, they would have already drawn their weapons and attacked indiscriminately.

Shen Shuang’s eyes were icy. “If you do not leave now, do not blame me for taking action. If I hadn't promised Heavenly Dao years ago to spare your worthless lives, you wouldn’t even see the sun today.”

Everyone present was startled; even the Six Stars of the Big Dipper sobered instantly and looked at her in shock. The white-robed elder spoke the fastest. “What did you say? You promised Heavenly Dao? What utter nonsense are you spewing!”

“Silence!” Shen Shuang suddenly barked, her demeanor radiating inviolable authority, causing the white-robed elder to momentarily freeze. Shen Shuang’s eyes flashed with a chilling light. “Since Heavenly Dao is dead now, there is no need to hide it from you anymore. Your Seventh Sister was killed by me that year!”

“What!” “Impossible!” “You are lying!!!”

The Six Stars of the Big Dipper were momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered, shouting their fury. The white-robed elder roared, “My Seventh Sister had the strongest cultivation among us! Back then, she was already a Peak Divine Emperor expert. How could you have killed her before she could even alert us? Moreover, she was clearly killed by the Heavenly Dao Scripture. In this world, only he knew the Heavenly Dao Scripture!”

“Is that so?” Shen Shuang’s clear, bright eyes were filled with killing intent as she coldly laughed. “See what this is?” She raised her hand, and a stream of brilliant, chaotic energy drifted out, carrying the aura of high-intensity condensation.

“You know the Heavenly Dao Scripture too!” The sturdy man recognized it at a glance, his expression filled with shock. “How is this possible?! How could you possibly know it?!” The others were too stunned to speak.

Ye Chen’s pupils also contracted as he stared at the stream of chaotic energy. He was absolutely certain; this was indeed compressed energy resulting from cultivating the Dao Scripture.

Shen Shuang retracted the chaotic energy stream, coldly sneering, “Heavenly Dao taught me the first six levels of the Heavenly Dao Scripture back then. Later, he betrayed me, fell for that slut, your Seventh Sister. She shouldn’t even look in a mirror to see what kind of person she is! To try and compete with me for Heavenly Dao—she was utterly unworthy!”

The sturdy man and the others were too shocked to form words. They had never dreamed that the ruler of the Divine Realm Civilization standing before them was Heavenly Dao’s woman! The hatred that had built up in their hearts for so many years was suddenly exposed, leaving their minds momentarily blank.

The white-robed elder snapped back to reality and roared, “My Seventh Sister was no less beautiful than you, and her heart was kind, unlike your venomous one! It was Heavenly Dao’s good fortune to favor my Seventh Sister. To have favored you, you wretched woman, means he was blind!”

Shen Shuang’s expression shifted, and she commanded, “Stop! What do you know? Your Seventh Sister was promiscuous and utterly depraved. She must have used some vile trick to briefly confuse Heavenly Dao, and even made him teach her the sixth level of the Heavenly Dao Scripture. That slut deserved to die!”

Ye Chen couldn't help but frown, secretly letting out a breath of relief. His Master Heavenly Dao, who had taught him the Heavenly Dao Scripture and held such significance in his life, was indeed not that kind of person.

At this moment, one of the handsome men in white among the Six Stars of the Big Dipper, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke up. He had three eyes on his forehead. “Why was Heavenly Dao’s name carved beside my Seventh Sister’s body?”

Shen Shuang gave a cold laugh. “I framed Heavenly Dao. I wanted you to hate him and cause trouble for him, because he betrayed me. Even if he was seduced by someone else, I would never allow it!”
