The Three Great Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerates were naturally unaware of the Fourth Heavenly Venerate's pitying gaze and internal thoughts. Otherwise, they would surely be utterly bewildered. How could they, perfectly fine as they were, suddenly turn into country bumpkins? They were the great overlords of the galactic nebulae, indescribable forbidden deities. One could say that the weaker Tenth-Tier beings were already among the most exceptional existences throughout history in the universe, powerful beings who had hopes of reaching the "Ultimate Cosmic Dao." If they were country bumpkins, then who was knowledgeable?
One Heavenly Venerate smiled and softly said, "A long time ago, we mastered the ability to observe and replay historical images from ancient civilization ruins. By relying on this ability, we acquired much knowledge lost in the ruins, which allowed us to rapidly grow to our current level... The Cosmic Garden was naturally one of them. In those days, before we observed the scenes of its destruction, we also initially thought it was an ordinary weak Tenth-Tier civilization. Who knew that when we saw its history of destruction, we realized it was not that simple; the hidden information involved was even unimaginable!"
"Unimaginable?" Bhikkhu asked seriously. Although she asked that, she actually knew that it was probably a terrifying, mysterious dark enemy, one that even the Super Ancient God and Renimanska had to avoid.
"Yes, unimaginable." One Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerate, though smiling in reply, spoke with a hint of solemn gravity. "At that time, as soon as we began to peek, we already sensed an anomaly, a profound sense of great terror, as if once we investigated the ancient history of that ruin, seeing some terrifying existence would cause us to be perceived and suffer crisis... We immediately stopped our actions and first went to the remaining desolate planet to meet with a part of the surviving civilization. Although they had lost most of their heritage, we still learned some ancient history of the Cosmic Garden and some details of the war of destruction back then... I remember that civilization was called the Tir Empire."
The timeline matched! Hearing this, Bhikkhu fully realized. The history at that time was that the Tir Empire encountered an unknown alien civilization. That alien civilization had mastered time-stasis. Several beings descended from their spaceship to communicate. After the communication, they left, and the Tir civilization secretly tracked them... That's how these players, based on the coordinates left by the Tir civilization at that time, tracked them to the current temporary base of the Abyssal Blue Divine Domain.
At that time, they had a very perplexing question. The beings who descended to communicate, in time-stasis... wasn't that a mighty power only possessed by the Three Great Heavenly Venerates? How could the dignified Three Great Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerates personally interact with the emperors of the Tir civilization, which was extremely backward and ant-like several eras ago? So, that's what happened.
"So, you didn't dare to peek at what exactly happened then, feeling that you might be detected?" Bhikkhu asked.
"It's highly possible we would have been directly detected by a living Tenth-Tier Ultimate being, a supreme existence standing at the end of the Cosmic Dao," one Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerate said. "That's why we didn't dare to observe and instead sought to understand indirectly from the Tir civilization at that time."
Bhikkhu's expression became completely solemn! It seemed that Renimanska and the Super Ancient God indeed experienced something terrifying back then! That was a Tenth-Tier being... even observing or describing it could lead to detection. And the Three Great Heavenly Venerates still underestimated the situation, as their perspective hadn't reached that height. According to Renimanska's words, perhaps more than one Tenth-Tier being had fallen! Renimanska's "fall" was just the tip of the iceberg, perhaps even insignificant; there might be other places... This was an indescribable great terror. Although she felt their knowledge level was insufficient, relatively poor and backward, she also felt the Three Great Heavenly Venerates were quite good, after all, their current level was also poor.
Bhikkhu continued to ask, "How did you confirm it was a living Tenth-Tier Ultimate being?"
The Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerate smiled and said, "This is a rule, which you might not know: only fallen Tenth-Tier beings can have their ruins entered and be observed or perceived by us. It is almost impossible for us to observe or witness living Tenth-Tier beings... Any means of prying into them, recreating their past paths, or their appearances, would be sensed by them in the ethereal, and they would cross dimensional space to crush you."
So that was it. The other party must still be alive, which is why there was that chilling sensation, making them dare not probe the ancient history of that land to discover what had happened. At the same time, a Tenth-Tier Dao Ultimate being, no wonder it was so mysterious, almost undetectable, and never seen throughout all the myriad worlds—that was the reason!
"Does that mean a Tenth-Tier being descended upon the Cosmic Garden and directly killed Renimanska?" Bhikkhu repeated, asking.
"Yes, it can almost certainly be said to be a Tenth-Tier being who is still alive to this day." One Heavenly Venerate gave a very rigorous answer, softly saying, "So, the question is, why would a Tenth-Tier being kill a weak Tenth-Tier being? A civilization at our level? And even if they killed him, it would be one thing—perhaps they just disliked him, or crushed him like an ant by the roadside... But after Renimanska fell, another weak Tenth-Tier being who was with him behaved extremely abnormally: he actually committed suicide."
This was the most abnormal and illogical part! There were far too many things that defied common sense. First, since they killed Renimanska, a weak Tenth-Tier being, why didn't they also kill the other weak Tenth-Tier being while they were at it? This was highly illogical. Second, since that weak Tenth-Tier being survived and managed to escape, they should have secretly celebrated, but why did they choose to commit suicide instead? What exactly happened during the destruction of the Cosmic Garden that made a weak Tenth-Tier being so desperate as to commit suicide?
"Yes, they should have survived, yet after escaping, they committed suicide," another Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerate exclaimed. "What exactly happened? It's too mysterious, too strange... but we dared not, and had no courage to, peek at what truly happened back then."
"So, even you, the Three Great Heavenly Venerates, don't know," Bhikkhu said, a little disappointed. It seemed she would return empty-handed. She had thought that since they had the ability to rewind time, they might know the truth of history. But they were more backward than she imagined, not even reaching the level where they dared to look.
The Abyssal Blue Heavenly Venerates were naturally unaware that the Fourth Heavenly Venerate was slandering them behind their backs. He smiled, "Who said we don't know the truth of history?"
"Then..." Bhikkhu was startled.
"If we don't dare to pry, does that mean we don't know the truth? Fourth Heavenly Venerate, you underestimate us too much." The three Heavenly Venerates laughed heartily and said, "Even if we can't see the truth directly, we can search from the side. Back then, we used various clues to investigate the surrounding area, and we also traced back the star regions of various places, finally discovering some clues."
"What clues?"
"Yes, it was these subtle clues that made us feel terrified." The three Heavenly Venerates, who had been smiling moments before, now spoke with utterly cold voices, "Because we discovered that Renimanska was already a... true Tenth-Tier being!"
Another Heavenly Venerate also smiled and began discussing, "Yes, Renimanska was 100% a true Tenth-Tier being; we have extremely conclusive evidence."
As these words fell, the hall became silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. Renimanska, a true Tenth-Tier being? This is impossible! Bhikkhu, and indeed all players after this news was disseminated, reacted with disbelief.
