Qin Yuan watched them, his smile getting wider and wider with time. Then, he took out three gold cups, slowly, he filled the cups with the wine.
“Mmm!” Suddenly, smoke came out of the wine pool, enveloping his body.
“What happened?” Luo Shen and Jiang Xin immediately became alert as they felt nothing but knew that a huge force was stalking them. Qin Yuan raised his hand to tell them not to move.
He thought this was similar to the time he met the Devil Ancestor, something that brought him into an illusion.
Whoosh!
Immediately afterwards he found a different scene, in a cloud or rather in a sky that seemed to have no end at all.
Comparing that sky to the infinite space of the universe was not an exaggeration at all. Even with his eyes, he could see little.
“Where is this?” Qin Yuan wondered because he knew illusions also couldn’t create just any place and he thought it wasn’t a place created through illusion, but a place that already existed and then an illusion imitated it.
“Yoo!” A man’s voice sounded behind him. He turned around, finding a black-robed man, still looking young.
He had long black hair while hanging from his back was a long scythe.
Since there was no aura, whether he or the scythe looked ordinary. However, Qin Yuan’s instincts told him that these two were something that could destroy everything if he saw them head on.
“Asura,” he said in a low voice.
The whereabouts of the four Great Sages were unknown until now, although people believe they are still alive, many have speculated that they were injured or went to an unknown place and would never return.
That he appeared here surprised Qin Yuan a little.
“Come sit down,” he said, pulling out a small table and setting it in front of him.
He sat down at the table, but didn’t take out a drink or a snack.
Qin Yuan of course did not refuse, he sat down right after that.
When he sat down, Asura held his chin, looking him up and down.
“I’ve heard all about you,” he said.
Qin Yuan thought he might have spies all over the place, so it wouldn’t be strange if he knew some things. Perhaps he had also sent spies into the Divine World.
“What do you want?” he asked.
“Conquering Holy Heaven is everyone’s goal because only then can we be free, so of course we will talk about him,” Asura replied. “As you know, this was something almost hopeless at first, but since seeing you, from how you’ve grown to where you are now, I think there is hope.”
“I hope so because he will become a hindrance,” Qin Yuan replied.
“Right, the question is do you have confidence?”
“Maybe if I get my hands on the tenth Fragment, it’s in Holy Heaven’s storage right now, I’m not sure if I can retrieve it.”
“Even if we all help attack Heaven, it won’t work.” Asura shook his head.
“Is there really no hope at all?” Qin Yuan knit his brows.
“No, nothing in this world is hopeless,” Asura replied, making Qin Yuan’s eyes shine.
“What’s that?” he asked.
“If those slaves in Heaven can release the power that is restraining them, they will definitely revolt if they believe it is working. That increases the probability of success since they also have control over Heaven, Holy Heaven can’t control it alone. And given that you’re good at seducing women, if you can subdue the Goddess and her mother, the Queen of Heaven, the chances of that will become even higher.”
Qin Yuan who was originally quite calm opened his mouth slightly when he heard what Asura said. Some of the information was simply too astonishing.
That Holy Heaven didn’t completely control Heaven wasn’t that strange, after all, that artifact was a level above other Heavenly Artifacts, maybe still a Demigod grade Artifact, but definitely way above his peak.
Compared to that, Qin Yuan was more shocked when he heard about the Queen of Heaven. Luo Shen did not give him that information.
“Are you able to do all of that?” Asura asked with narrowed eyes.
Qin Yuan calmed down even faster, took a deep breath and then shook his head. He chose not to answer.
This was of course not something that was hopeless at all, it was still possible if he tried. Only, he needed to know more about that Queen of Heaven first.
“Queen of Heaven, what is she like?” Qinyuan asked.
“She is from the God Clan, a supreme beauty in the distant past and even now. Ever since Holy Heaven came and ruled over them, he chose her as his wife and then gave birth to a daughter who is now called Goddess.
“There is one thing you should know, she is not really a slave like the others, she is a free person. If you can make her have an affair with you and hide it from Holy Heaven’s eyes, he won’t know.”
“…”
When talking about the past, Qin Yuan couldn’t help but be curious about the past history.
Now it is quite clear that Holy Heaven is an outsider. The question is where did he come from and how was life before he came?
“Do you want to know the history of this world?” Asura asked, guessing Qin Yuan’s thoughts from his expression.
“Yeah, I want to know everything,” Qin Yuan replied.
“It’s a very long story, it would be too long to tell everything, so I’ll give you the information in person.” He snapped his finger, sending a beam of light towards Qin Yuan’s head.
“Mmm!” Qin Yuan closed his eyes for a moment
The information he received was truly shocking.
In the past, the Universe was not what it is now, it was a sky where there were many continents. The place where Qin Yuan is currently is the Universe in the past.
There are three main factions in the universe that fight against each other. The beast faction, the hundred race faction, and the Heaven faction were led by the God Clan and Devil Clan.
At that time, the Universe was still young, cultivation was easier so there were far more people who could become Immortals.
Unfortunately, that glorious era ended with Holy Heaven appearing out of nowhere. With strength one grade above another, he effortlessly swept across all sides, subjugating the people of Heaven to becoming his slaves.
It was the beginning of destruction and a new, weaker era.
The good thing was that from then on Holy Heaven preferred cultivation and completely left the war to the people of Heaven.
Of course, one thing that is interesting is about his origin.
“Where did he come from?” Qin Yuan asked with narrowed eyes.
Asura shook his head. He replied, “maybe at the end of the world, who knows.”
“I see!” Qin Yuan understood what he meant. That there was an unknown place and where it was, perhaps the answer would only come after defeating Holy Heaven. After all, like the path under the Buddha Clan for example, who knows where it might lead.
“We know that we can’t change anything, our cultivation is also stagnant which can only be said to be our own lack of ability,” said Asura. “Because of that, I hope you can change this thing.”
Qin Yuan only smiled in response. At the same time, he remembered about the Heavenly Scripture.
“Then where did the Heavenly Scripture come from?” He immediately asked because it was something more important.
“Heavenly Scripture, yeah?” Asura’s eyes looked up and his gaze deepened.
“Basically, it’s been around since the beginning, just like the wine in my court, I have my suspicions but it’s not something I believe in, so there’s no point in talking about it!”

Qin Yuan returned to the palace, and it had been nearly an hour.
Luo Shen and Jiang Xin were still standing at the side, looking at him with doubtful eyes.
Seeing them, Qin Yuan smiled.
“Let’s go,” he said, then opened a portal to the Hidden Heaven. Now, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to travel between the western and southern regions.
Without saying anything else, he stepped into the Hidden Heaven, carrying the three cups filled with wine before heading to the Universe Fortress.
Luo Shen and Jiang Xin were still standing still and once again, they looked at each other.
“What are you guys waiting for?” Qin Yuan’s voice echoed from within Hidden Heaven, bringing the two women back to their senses.
In the end, Jiang Xin took a step and it left Luo Shen with no other choice but to follow.
There was a place in the Universe Fortress that was no different from a house, having a living room and a room.
Qin Yuan appeared in the living room, sat down on one of the couches and placed the three cups of wine on the table.
Jiang Xin and Luo Shen appeared right after that.
Their faces hesitated but their bodies were still moving. In the end, each sat down on a different couch.
Qin Yuan looked at them back and forth, but actually he was thinking about plans to go to Heaven later.
‘What if I pretend to give up so I can act more freely there’
