You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Lin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had heard the same thing from the voice in the legacy site of Beiyuan Mountain.

"Let's discuss the matter at hand."

The Tomb Spirit sized up Lin Yue and said, "The fact that you were able to enter this tomb, ignoring the Barrier that the Crown Prince set up with heavenly might, shows that you are a man of unpredictable destiny."

"Correct," Lin Yue nodded slightly.

"I have three tests here. Although each one is extremely difficult, if you succeed, you will gain a tremendous benefit," the Tomb Spirit said.

"Three tests? Go on," Lin Yue looked at him.

"The first test is to look into your origins."

The Tomb Spirit continued, "Even though you're a man of unpredictable destiny, it's still uncertain whether you belong to the Eternal Night Clan, or if you are from the true Human Clan."

Lin Yue's heart stirred, and he deliberately asked, "What do you mean? What is the true Human Clan?"

The Tomb Spirit glanced at him and said, "Do you know why there are so-called men of unpredictable destiny?"

"Why?" Lin Yue looked at him.

"What does it mean to be of unpredictable destiny?"

The Tomb Spirit spoke emotionally, "It's actually about a person whom even the Heavenly Dao of this world cannot observe or constrain. It is said that during Ancient Times, the Ancient Human Clan was favored by the Primordial beginning; even the Heavenly Dao could not observe or constrain them, and even if their souls dispersed, they would return to the embrace of the Primordial beginning... That is the true Human Clan."

Lin Yue's pupils shrank slightly.

He had heard the same from the spirit in the Temple of Thousand Gods; it was only that he hadn't expected... the men of unpredictable destiny were the Ancient Human Clan?

"Men of unpredictable destiny are the Ancient Human Clan?"

Lin Yue frowned and asked, "I heard that the Ancient Human Clan has perished. Can they still be alive now?"

"I'm not sure, but everything has a sliver of chance for life."

The Tomb Spirit said, "Furthermore, what you said is not precise. The Ancient Human Clan indeed consists of men of unpredictable destiny, but men of unpredictable destiny are not necessarily from the Ancient Human Clan; they could also belong to the Eternal Night Clan."

"This..." Lin Yue was a bit confused.

"It's quite simple to explain."

The Tomb Spirit looked at him and said, "The Ancient Human Clan was already men of unpredictable destiny, but if they went through the Reincarnation of the current Eternal Night Era, they would become the Eternal Night Clan. Even though they are still of unpredictable destiny, they would lose the favor of the Primordial beginning."

Lin Yue was briefly startled, then understood what he meant.

That is to say, even the Ancient Human Clan, after going through Reincarnation in the current Eternal Night Era, would become the Eternal Night Clan?

At this moment, he couldn't help but remember what the Second Prince, the Star Lord, and the voice from the legacy site of Beiyuan Mountain had once told him—

"Do not enter Reincarnation, even if your soul disperses."

Perhaps... this was the reason?

Once entering Reincarnation, one would become the Eternal Night Clan, no longer favored by the Primordial beginning?

But if one did not enter Reincarnation, even if the soul dispersed, one would ultimately return to the embrace of the Primordial beginning.

"You are indeed a man of unpredictable destiny."

The Tomb Spirit looked at Lin Yue and said, "But we still need to confirm if you are from the true Human Clan."

Lin Yue asked curiously, "How do you plan to test that?"

"Quite simple."

The Tomb Spirit flipped his hand, and a drop of crimson blood appeared, saying, "Quite simple, this is 'False Primordial Divine Power' that the Crown Prince created by blending Multiple Divine Power, condensing it into this single drop of blood."

He looked at Lin Yue and said, "If you are from the true Human Clan, favored by the Primordial beginning, you will be able to catch this drop of blood with ease."

Lin Yue understood and immediately said, "Then let's try."

The Tomb Spirit did not say more and gently pushed; the crimson drop of blood immediately flew from his palm towards Lin Yue.

The drop of blood seemed no different from human blood, except that it carried a mysterious and chaotic aura.

Lin Yue stretched out his hand, and the drop of blood landed in his palm, rolling around as if it were intimately familiar.

"Oh?"

Seeing this, the Tomb Spirit's eyes suddenly lit up, "You really are from the Ancient Human Clan!"

Lin Yue, of course, was not surprised.

He had known this fact long ago.

"Very good."

The Tomb Spirit revealed a trace of a smile and said, "The second test requires you to grasp a part of the embryonic form of the Ultimate Path."

"Part?" Lin Yue frowned slightly, shaking his head, "I can't grasp just a part of the Ultimate Path."

The Tomb Spirit sighed and said, "I know it's difficult, but with this drop of pseudo-Taichu Divine Power in the form of blood to aid you, there is still hope. You must try."

"No."

Lin Yue shook his head and said, "What I mean is... it's not possible for me to master only a part of the Ultimate Path."

"What do you mean?" This time, it was the Tomb Spirit who was confused.

"I have received the inheritance of the Ultimate Path. Once I break through the bottleneck of the Heavenly Reversal Path and transform again, it will be the true Ultimate Path."

Lin Yue explained, "So, in my case, there is no such thing as a partial Ultimate Path."

Others mastered only part of the Ultimate Path because they lacked guidance and would never be able to reach the true Ultimate. Even if they broke the bottleneck, it was only an approximation.

But he was different.

"The true inheritance of the Ultimate Path?"

The Tomb Spirit was completely stunned and couldn't help asking, "Do you mean that the Divine Emperor is willing to help reclaim the Taichu Divine Power?"

"What?" Lin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Tomb Spirit's words... carried quite a substantial message.

Reclaim?

The Divine Emperor is willing?

"You don't know?"

The Tomb Spirit said, "After the Human Ancestor woke up, he discovered that the Taichu Divine Power had already been stolen by the Demon Clan."

He shook his head slowly and said, "I don't know how the Demon Clan managed to do it, but with those Taichu Divine Power alone, the ancestors of the Demon Clan saw a tremendous increase in strength. They launched a major attack 1,300 years ago. If it weren't for the Human Ancestor's choice to be reincarnated, and the Divine Emperor's timely emergence, the Human Clan would have almost been annihilated."

Lin Yue couldn't help asking, "And the Divine Emperor? Do you mean to say that the Divine Emperor previously refused to help reclaim the Taichu Divine Power?"

"Yes."

The Tomb Spirit nodded and said, "I don't know what the Divine Emperor was thinking. After dispersing the Eternal Night and unifying the world, he began to watch from the sidelines, knowing full well that the Demon Clan was a major disaster. The Divine Emperor clearly had the power to eliminate the Demon Clan, yet he never took action."

Lin Yue listened even more baffled.

The Divine Emperor had the power to destroy the Demon Clan, but he watched from the sidelines?

He suddenly remembered what the Second Prince had said—

"Although His Majesty has become human, he isn't entirely so. Despite his unmatched contributions to the Human Clan, his thoughts or, shall we say, his intentions, were not as grand as what the people believed."

"The reason why His Majesty is like this is not entirely because he belongs to the Human Clan. A significant part of the reason lies with the Demon Clan; he is simply contemplating."

These words previously spoken by the Second Prince surfaced in his mind, leading him to a vague speculation.

The Divine Emperor watches from the sidelines... merely contemplating?

"Regardless, your receiving guidance for mastering the Ultimate Path is a tremendous boon for our Human Clan."

The Tomb Spirit revealed a smile of relief and said, "In that case, there is no need for the second trial. You only need to complete the third trial."

"But I have not yet mastered the embryonic form of the Ultimate Path," Lin Yue frowned.

"Never mind."

The Tomb Spirit smiled and said, "How difficult is the Ultimate Path? Since you have guidance, what's most important is not the process, but the result. Giving you this great benefit in advance could also aid you in mastering the Ultimate Path sooner."

He said softly, "Rest assured, the Crown Prince is the reincarnation of the Human Ancestor, whose nature has remained unchanged, and who is still broad-minded. He has always been amiable and generous towards the Human Clan, and towards friends and relatives. You have no need to worry."

Lin Yue was astonished.

He always felt that the Tomb Spirit was speaking about someone else.

The Crown Prince being broad-minded, he could believe, but... amiable and generous?

The Human Ancestor within the Eternal Darkness Reincarnation Coffin was indeed such a person.

But the Crown Prince himself, cold and indifferent, placed on high like the heavens themselves, overlooking everything, how could he be described as amiable and generous?

"How long has it been since you last saw the Crown Prince?" Lin Yue couldn't help but ask.

"It has been over a thousand years," replied the Tomb Spirit, puzzled, "Why? Is something amiss?"

"Nothing."

Lin Yue shook his head slightly and asked, "What is the third trial?"

No wonder he had felt that the Tomb Spirit was out of touch with the outside world, still holding on to knowledge from over a thousand years ago?

Perhaps the Crown Prince from a thousand years ago was similar to the Human Ancestor, but the Crown Prince of today, had long changed.

"The third trial is also to help you master the Ultimate Path."

The Tomb Spirit looked at him and said, "Do you know about the twelve Holy Grades of the Eternal Night?"
