Am I a traitor?
Liu Si was completely bewildered, unable to react.
He recounted his long life. Although he had committed murder, robbery, and slaughtered countless beings, he had never done anything like this from beginning to end.
Could it be that he betrayed the Fallen Alliance and joined the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm?
No, he hadn't.
As the Sixth Inspector, he held a high position within the core power structure. Was there any need for betrayal? Moreover, if the current Fallen Civilization truly collapsed, he would suffer immense losses.
"What kind of traitor am I?" Liu Si's voice was filled with confusion.
After all, this descendant had treated him quite well. If not for the descendant saving him, he would have met the same tragic fate as those wailing and screaming beings.
"You really have forgotten."
The large octopus, heartbroken, hid in the fish tank within the large wooden barrel, conveying an inexpressible sense of grief.
"But no matter what, you are still my ancestor! I know that for our Byrd Octopus clan, breaking through to the ninth rank with our massive size is almost impossible... I don't know how many hardships you, as one of our ancestors, endured to reach such a terrifying height... This is incredibly difficult; you cannot die here, escape quickly!"
You! Quickly! Escape!
Watching the large octopus's heartfelt cry, Liu Si's heart couldn't help but pound.
He looked at the Byrd descendant submerged in the black muddy water in the barrel, utterly bewildered.
Could there really be a life-threatening danger?
Am I going to lose a life here?
He looked out the window, his heart sinking uncontrollably.
"Is it an enemy of mine? Losing one of my three lives is certainly something I don't want... Are they letting me go because, at this moment, the few individuals who established this castle don't dare to resist, make enemies with them, or defy their orders? If they see me, will they have no choice but to hand me over?"
He looked out the window at the group of people negotiating.
There were six of them in total: a spider, a jelly person, a dog-headed person, and other strange forms. He truly couldn't recall encountering such terrifying enemies.
As for Shiji, the small Iron-based robot, it did look somewhat familiar.
But it was only somewhat familiar, because it was using quantum martial arts, wildly throwing punches, clearly a special punching-type bloodline. This wasn't how the Iron-based clan fought.
Moreover, the Renimansjia clan had long been extinct, making new descendants impossible.
"These people must be extraordinary! It's the first time I've seen those lawless individuals show such expressions... They must belong to an unimaginably forbidden-level civilization!" Liu Si was still weighing his options. "Still, a life is precious, and I certainly don't want to be killed..."
"What do you mean 'a life'? If you're seen, you'll die in reality too! No one can save you!" the large octopus yelled. "Hurry and run!"
In the large octopus's eyes, this ancestor was a traitor to the Byrd clan!
If Renimansjia saw him, they would immediately kill him.
If he had been privy to core secrets, it might have been different.
But clearly, he wasn't part of the core.
He didn't even know about the Evil God clan, who were once close friends of the Iron-based clan.
He didn't even know that Renimansjia was still alive.
He was unaware of even the concept of the Creator God and other such classified information, signifying how very weak he had been back then.
Being weak was one thing, but while his master was in a state of feigned death and dormancy, he, as a Byrd, had done the most foolish thing: he had integrated his master's bloodline.
How rebellious was that?
How disrespectful?
If discovered, it would lead to the annihilation of their entire clan!
The large octopus's face was filled with horror, knowing that such terrifying, great beings and the major transcendent races in the universe valued their bloodline and heritage above all else.
Indeed, it was impossible for external races to pry into the ancestral memories of transcendent cosmic races protected by ancient tenth-rank laws... But even if they couldn't see the heritage, they could still integrate their bloodline.
After all, if one acquired the bloodline, integration was still possible... This was irresistible.
And integrating a bloodline was met with severe suppression!
Other beings would be hunted to the ends of the earth, but what about him? As a vassal, integrating his former master's genes was truly an act of immense rebellion, an act that would inevitably result in a relentless, deadly pursuit!
"Go now! Otherwise, you'll die!" The large octopus, after all, was a creature of strong emotions. Even after becoming an Asura, it still cared deeply about its own clan.
Only by recalling its own past as a Byrd octopus, diligently cultivating by orbiting a sun, did it understand how arduous and painful the process was.
Breakthroughs were simply unbelievable.
Liu Si froze, secretly frowning. "Impossible. Losing one life here would be one thing, but as the Sixth Inspector of the Fallen Civilization, who would dare to lay a hand on me in reality?"
Hearing this, the large octopus shook its head helplessly, finding it quite amusing. "You country bumpkin, you really are a bumpkin from the countryside... The mere Fallen Civilization, even if it has a weak tenth-rank entity behind it, would it truly dare to antagonize *that* kind of being? You simply don't remember, you've forgotten after all."
Liu Si was utterly bewildered. What had he forgotten?
From the start, when these individuals saw him, they had claimed he had forgotten some things, some events.
The large octopus found it amusing. "How incredibly great are such beings? If they were to arrive, even the weak tenth-rank entities of your Fallen Civilization wouldn't dare provoke them; they would have to respectfully kneel and offer proper hospitality, terrified of being struck down."
"In our eyes, the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm and the Fallen Civilization are nothing more than a remote, desolate, and backward backwater. Utterly laughable."
Liu Si was stunned.
This descendant's civilization was indeed mysterious. It had likely visited the "Garden of Annihilation" more than once, possessed ancient evolutionary knowledge, and was probably one of the past victors!
If they were victors, it meant they could evolve species here and take them out... And what would become of those earth-shattering species?
This was a terrifying prospect.
If it had evolved for such a long time and possessed such terrifying, heaven-defying evolved races, it was indeed an unimaginably high-dimensional forbidden civilization.
"Do you know why, after I joined this civilization, we can disregard these cultivators and use them for experiments?" The large octopus was utterly speechless. "Because, in front of truly great civilizations like that, cultivators... are simply too weak."
Liu Si's mind reeled, his pupils constricting sharply.
Even the Fallen Civilization and the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm, cosmic nebula overlords that infinitely approached the ultimate Dao, could not...
The large octopus grew frantic. The group of people outside the window were about to enter, and it couldn't help but blurt out the truth, "You really have forgotten! You are far too ignorant! A mere ninth-rank cultivator, who thinks himself unrivaled in combat, has no idea what he's up against."
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you the truth." The large octopus took a deep breath. "Standing outside... is our clan's most ancient master—Renimansjia!!!"
"It's precisely that terrifying being that makes us so cautious," the large octopus revealed.
BOOM!!!
Liu Si's mind reeled.
Liu Si felt as if he were dreaming. The accumulating doubts finally reached their peak, and he couldn't help but peer out the window, his gaze frantically scanning.
"Impossible! I personally saw Renimansjia in the once-flourishing Cosmic Garden! I also personally witnessed the destruction of the Cosmic Garden!"
His voice trembled intensely. "Renimansjia has long been dead beyond all doubt! There's no way they could be resurrected."
