Luo Ziqiong gave Luo Bing a deep look and said lightly, "Thirty-some years ago, people still came here from the Luotian Immortal Domain."

"What? How is that possible?" Luo Bing immediately rebutted, "After the Divine Battle Era ten thousand years ago, the Luotian Immortal Domain completely sealed our world. Ten thousand years ago, supremes were as common as clouds. After that great battle, our world was sealed, and there were no more supremes! Also, it's impossible for anyone to come here from the Luotian Immortal Domain!"

At this moment, the patriarch Luo Cheng, unable to stand it any longer, glanced at Luo Bing, "Could you let Elder Ziqiong finish speaking before you raise your objections? Moreover, just because you don't know about something doesn't mean it hasn't happened."

In the Luo family, the patriarch holds absolute authority. Therefore, even though Luo Bing's realm was a level higher than the patriarch's, he could only close his mouth with flushed cheeks. Nonetheless, his demeanor spoke volumes of his dissatisfaction.

Luo Ziqiong did not mind much and simply stated, "Thirty years ago, our world still had a supreme. That person was named Chu Tianji..."

"I know!" An elder of the Luo family suddenly interjected, "Chu Tianji... I know of him, but... he was a supreme? I only remember that he was once one of the top Heavenly Geniuses in the Heavenly Realm, the youngest emperor of his time, and besides, the span of time is a hundred thousand years. How could he be that person's son? Even for a supreme, the life expectancy couldn't possibly exceed a hundred thousand years?"

Luo Bing sneered, "Exactly. Our Luo family has had supremes too. Even if one could obtain the supreme elixir and live through a second lifetime, that would at most grant a life expectancy of fifty thousand years!"

This time, patriarch Luo Cheng did not interrupt Luo Bing, as he too was curious about this matter. What intrigued him even more was how Luo Ziqiong knew about this? Because he had not even heard of these events, not to mention the name Chu Tianji.

Logically speaking, for such a significant figure who emerged in a sealed era and managed to reach the Supreme Realm, this news should be extremely exhilarating and widely known. How could it possibly go unnoticed?

Luo Ziqiong sighed gently, "Chu Tianji was born in a chaotic era, during the Divine Battle Era a hundred thousand years ago. Because that era was too chaotic, that great figure used supreme magical power to seal his son. The seal was only broken a little over twenty thousand years ago."

"Is that true?" Everyone present, including patriarch Luo Cheng, looked at Luo Ziqiong with dubious eyes.

Luo Ziqiong let out a long sigh, "I was able to reach the Emperor Realm, all thanks to his help, and he... was my best friend. If Chu Mo is really related to this person, then no matter what, I must ensure his safety."

As he spoke, Luo Ziqiong cast a deep glance at everyone, "Years ago, when I left the family to gain experience, I had almost given up pursuing the path of emperor."

Some of the older elders in attendance nodded quietly, knowing the circumstances of Luo Ziqiong back then.

Luo Ziqiong was not directly from the main line of the Luo family, but his bloodline was considerably nobler than those of the side branches. However, back then, he was not highly regarded in the Luo family. Even now, although much has changed, the situation still fundamentally exists.

For instance, Luo Bing, from the main line, openly challenged him, simply because Luo Ziqiong was not from the main line, and even though he held the prestigious position of an elder, his real status in the Luo family... was not as high as one might imagine.

Luo Ziqiong continued, "Later, I met Brother Tianji. At that time, Brother Tianji was already on the brink of the Supreme Realm, presumably a Quasi-Supreme. Despite facing me, who was only at the true immortal level then, he never looked down on me and instead considered me a friend. He often guided me and absolutely deserves the title of my noble mentor and beneficial friend."

The Luo family members present fell silent, feeling a burning sensation on their faces. One of their own had to seek opportunities from outside, and he ultimately succeeded. It highlighted one thing: the Luo family did not pay enough attention to members not from the main line of descent.

And they paid too much attention to those from the main line, like Luo Ning and Luo Ying!

At that moment, Luo Cheng softly said, "Elder Ziqiong, please speak of the events from thirty years ago."

Luo Ziqiong did not wish to mention too much about his own affairs, being a person of kind nature and bearing no resentment towards his family. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Thirty years ago, due to the arrival of some people from the Luotian Immortal Domain, a battle erupted as well. However, this battle took place deep in the cosmos, and many people have never heard about such a battle. Moreover, this battle was entirely different in nature from the one that occurred a hundred thousand years ago."

As Luo Ziqiong spoke, he glanced at everyone before continuing, "I did not witness this matter with my own eyes, but it was recounted to me by an old acquaintance. I am not clear on the precise details of the truth. However, one thing is certain—this battle did indeed take place."

Upon hearing these words, many present could not help but be stunned. They looked at Luo Ziqiong with uncertainty, somewhat incredulous that this was true.

Thirty years ago? Wasn't that a bit too recent?

A supreme battle had occurred right beside them, and not many years had passed since then. This was truly astonishing.

If this news were to spread, it would likely cause countless people to marvel.

Luo Ziqiong continued, "Based on his age, Chu Mo is very likely a descendant of Brother Tianji. Moreover, there's another matter that I believe you all should be aware of by now."

Everyone looked towards Luo Ziqiong, their expressions growing solemn.

Luo Ziqiong said, "The Drifting Empress was one of the main generals in that divine battle years ago! She was the most capable lieutenant beside that great figure. You've all heard of her legend, right?"

Luo Bing muttered, "Of course, I grew up listening to her stories, and her intricate relationship with the Qin family... She was one of the few powerful beings who survived from the Divine Battle Era. She lived through three lifetimes and died over five thousand years ago. When she died, natural anomalies occurred with blood rain falling from the sky. Some said she also had herself buried in the Drifting Ruins. I've often wondered—since the Drifting Ruins have disappeared, how could she have found them? And if the Drifting Ruins were in the Mortal Realm, how did she manage to descend there?"

Luo Ziqiong said, "The methods of the supreme are not something we can estimate."

Head of the family, Luo Cheng, looked at Luo Ziqiong with a complicated expression, "Why didn't you mention this back then?"

"When did the head of the family mean by 'back then'?" Luo Ziqiong asked. "If you're referring to thirty years ago, I didn't see any reason to speak of it. My friend was no longer there; he was my benefactor, and I didn't want to parade his deeds around. If you mean a few years earlier, during the incident involving Luo Ning and Luo Ying, how was I to know back then that a youth from the Mortal Realm like Chu Mo could possibly be a descendant of Brother Tianji?"

Luo Cheng was rendered speechless, as he knew that everything Luo Ziqiong said was true.

Luo Bing was also rendered speechless by Luo Ziqiong's words, his head bowed, his profound eyes twinkling, lost in thought.

Luo Cheng sighed deeply, then looking at Luo Ziqiong, he asked, "Then... according to Elder Ziqiong's opinion, how should we handle this matter?"

Without hesitation, Luo Ziqiong directly said, "The fundamental grudge between our Luo family and Chu Mo lies with Luo Ning and Luo Ying..." As he spoke, Luo Ziqiong paused for a moment and glanced at Luo Cheng, "Therefore, I suggest..."
