Chapter 1419: Emperor's Loneliness Revealed

“Truth?” Tu Xin paused, slightly stunned.

After a moment of thought, he sighed with a hint of sympathy. “Yes, the truth is always known by a select few. Others possess such low computing power, such limited intelligence. It must have been incredibly difficult for you, hidden among a group of low-IQ monkeys.”

His voice was filled with a sense of dominance. “Just like me, I once mingled in the myriad worlds of this lower civilization, secretly lurking, investigating, and felt a profound loneliness, like a primate standing amidst a群lower-order apes. You must feel the same way. Your intellect rivals ours; you are fundamentally not the same species as them. You are most likely a prehistoric being, which explains your isolation among them. You have been dormant for endless years, and only today do I truly consider you my confidant. Only I can understand you and grasp the truth of this world alongside you.”

The surrounding Saints and players looked at Di Zun, feeling a jolt. The players, in particular, felt a deep resonance.

“No wonder Di Zun always looks at us as if we’re idiots,” one player remarked.

“Even when he looks at our top strategic genius, Qiu Ming Shan Che Su, he often has that same idiotic expression,” another player added.

“It turns out we weren’t even the same species from the beginning. There were clues before. No wonder his gaze was different; he always disregarded our intricate historical deductions and calculations,” another player murmured.

“Yes, thinking about it now, Di Zun’s knowledge is truly terrifying! He can even master martial arts that require six brains to learn! This level of intelligence, far surpassing the ultimate limits of human beings, must have been hidden from the start.”

Some had already realized that Di Zun possessed the vast intelligence of the Great Universe cultivation method from the very beginning. Long before they were developing eighth-tier gods and ninth-tier enlightened beings, he had already mastered the terrifying eleventh-tier martial arts, but he had hidden it exceptionally well.

“Di Zun has always existed in this environment, often feeling lonely because his intelligence was so out of sync with ours.”

Before this, they hadn't fully understood Di Zun. They only knew he was a dominant presence, a master strategist, and held an unapproachable demeanor. He was far less "human" than figures like Caroline, Di Qi, or the Three Pillar Gods, who often interacted with them and personally managed their own superhuman worlds.

Di Zun had always remained aloof from mundane affairs, giving the impression of being otherworldly, an ethereal immortal about to ascend at any moment—an unrealistic sensation. It was usually Meng Po who handled everything.

“Thinking back, that feeling was indeed correct; we weren't mistaken. In his eyes, we were simply on a different dimension.” These players were still sharp, though their guesses were slightly off.

“Now, through Tu Xin, another heaven-defying being of equal intelligence, and his conversation with Di Zun, we’ve begun to understand some of Di Zun’s hidden secrets and the underlying truth of his true identity.”

Even Zhi Ji, listening to the players’ words, was starting to get confused, musing that her husband was actually such a person, always so lonely, perhaps connected to the prehistoric universe.

As others were secretly astonished, Tu Xin’s words continued.

“Truth is always grasped by a select few, just like the martial art of singularity return before us! In this universe, there are only you and I.”

“Your wisdom is heaven-defying, your calculations are unconventional, and I can also feel your loneliness.”

Tu Xin stared at the cold, impassive Di Zun. Di Zun, shrouded in chaotic energy, showed signs of collapsing, exuding an imposing aura like a coiling dragon and a crouching tiger. Tu Xin admired him more with every glance; having schemed against him until now, Di Zun was clearly no ordinary person.

Tu Xin couldn’t help but exclaim, “Your charisma is astonishing, a true hero. Even as your opponent, I respect you.”

“You flatter me,” Di Zun chuckled.

“However,” his tone, which had been extremely calm, suddenly shifted, subtly revealing a hint of bloody killing intent, “our positions are ultimately different. We must stand on different grounds. We are destined to be mortal enemies....”

With his hands clasped behind his back, he exuded the demeanor of a grandmaster, stating coldly, “I once thought those immortal Saints were my greatest opponents, but I never expected there to be someone else! You are the greatest enemy in this major shift of the universe’s trend. I will repeat to you what I said to them: Ancient, corrupt existences from the prehistoric universe, whatever your goal, please stop and let the universe develop naturally with its great trend....”

He bowed solemnly, clasping his hands. “For the future of all living beings, I implore you, at this moment, to perish!”

“I’m afraid I cannot do that,” Di Zun sighed softly, genuinely admiring Tu Xin before him. “I admit this is a ‘worm’ of the universe, which will bring some disaster, corroding it and twisting the great trend of the universe in an unknown direction....”

“Please, fall for the sake of all living beings!” Tu Xin roared.

With that cry, it was as if the sky and earth crumbled.

Tu Xin then said nothing, abruptly throwing a punch. Previously, he had struggled to move in the chaotic currents of Genesis, unable to exert ninety-nine percent of his strength. But now, having grasped some of the laws and power of the singularity, he had reached the understanding of a true weak eleventh-tier realm. His comprehension of the singularity allowed his strength to recover significantly. Within the vortex, there was a faint sense of a nimble fish in a violent tsunami, breaking through waves to attack.

“Die!” Tu Xin’s voice was deep, like muffled thunder. This punch carried absolute killing intent, as if the previous mutual admiration was just a facade. In reality, going all out was Tu Xin’s greatest show of respect. Moreover, he believed such a terrifying, unfathomable enemy would certainly have the means to withstand this blow.

“It’s useless. You’ve learned the martial art of singularity, and I’ve learned it too....” Di Zun’s figure drifted lightly, moving with the vortex. “Outside, you could easily kill me, but here it’s different. Your massive energy level subjects you to equivalent pressure.... You can’t catch me.”

If this punch had landed on Xu Zhi’s body, hitting a tiny fungus like a single hair, Xu Zhi would surely die. But in the battlefield within the vortex, it gave Xu Zhi room to maneuver.

“Why are you running?” Tu Xin’s face was sharp, full of ferocity. “This vortex can no longer kill me. We are destined to fight.”

“I’m not running; I’m still deducing my miracle martial art. Please wait a moment,” Di Zun said calmly. “Besides, can this vortex really not kill you? Perhaps not, with the rough power you currently possess....”

As these words fell, Tu Xin’s expression suddenly darkened severely.
