Chapter 152: Secret Sorrow! Su Nan, the Scum of the Human Race?

"Lord of the Realm, why do you say such words?"

Xuan Qingzi's calm demeanor was gone, replaced by a heavy expression.

It wasn't strange for a Lord of the Realm to ask about his own fate, but for him to still be alive after so many years was truly astonishing.

As a peak Quasi-Emperor with an Imperial Armament for protection, he was essentially invincible.

If there weren't any major events, Su Nan wouldn't be like this.

"Do you know about the Dark Forbidden Zone?"

Su Nan gazed into the distance and spoke softly.

"I've heard my master mention it before."

Xuan Qingzi's eyes turned icy cold, "They are a group of traitors who, in pursuit of eternal life, completely betrayed the human race."

"According to legend, in the ancient era, there was a Great Emperor whose lifespan had run out, yet he refused to accept his death. Using Heavenly means, he summoned evil demons from beyond the realm."

"They abandoned their human identity, transforming their bloodline, and became immortal and indestructible demons."

Few people in the world knew about the Dark Forbidden Zone. Every generation of the human race's Great Emperors deliberately suppressed the information.

Eternal life is too tempting.

If people knew that the Dark Forbidden Zone offered the possibility of eternal life, the Great Saints and peak Quasi-Emperors with limited lifespans would go mad.

Even without the suppression of the heavens, the frenzied crowds alone would release those terrifying demons!

At that time, without a Great Emperor to protect the human race, the entire Cang Yan Continent would be assimilated by the evil demons.

Therefore, every generation of Great Emperors would, before their death, suppress the Dark Forbidden Zone and strengthen the seal.

"Longevity brings disaster."

Upon hearing this, Su Nan sighed, "The human race has been able to continue until now, thanks to the unwavering will of those great emperors."

"But this cannot last forever. It's easy to open the box of demons, but it's incredibly difficult to close it."

"The human race hasn't seen a brilliantly talented Great Emperor in a long time."

"Looking at the historical records, don't you notice that the Great Emperors of recent ancient times are weaker than those of the distant past?"

Xuan Qingzi's face changed instantly.

Though all were Great Emperors, there were still differences in strength.

Like the Martial Ancestor of the ancient era, who was so powerful that he could create heaven and earth, sweep through the forbidden zones, and ensure an entire era was free from the disaster of eternal life.

Like the Dao Venerable of the early ancient era, who could transform the three pure ones with a single breath, possessing Heavenly Dao techniques that prevented the beings of the forbidden zones from crossing the line.

The historical records show that the Great Emperors of the ancient and early ancient eras were all extraordinarily talented.

The Dark Forbidden Zone was nothing more than a ripple during those two eras, firmly suppressed by the Great Emperors.

But by the recent ancient era,

The human race still had Great Emperors, but none possessed the absolute brilliance to strike down everything.

It was also during the recent ancient era that the Dark Forbidden Zone became active again, even causing the Great Emperors to bleed and resulting in countless casualties on the continent.

"Do you know why?"

Su nan pointed to the heavens and said softly, "It's because the heavenly will is weakening."

Xuan Qingzi's face changed completely, "How is that possible! Can the heavens be damaged?"

"Why not?"

Su Nan gazed at the seemingly prosperous heavens and earth, his eyes deep and profound, "Those evil demons are gradually devouring this world."

"Though they are sealed deep underground, they cannot directly harm living beings, but they are continuously polluting this world."

"The resources on the Continent are depleting, the number of brilliantly talented cultivators is decreasing, and the heavenly will is weakening."

"The Heavenly Dao can no longer wait. If my guess is correct, this ten thousand years will produce the last Great Emperor the heavenly will can create."

"The final battle is coming!"

Xuan Qingzi felt his scalp tingle and his entire body's hair stand on end just from listening.

Before his eyes, he saw the Continent shattering, the spirits roaring, mountains of corpses, and seas of blood!

"How, how can it be like this."

Xuan Qingzi's face turned pale. He saw a glimpse of the future, and it was certainly not an illusion.

It was a warning given by the spirit oracle after Su Nan revealed the cause and effect!

In other words, Su Nan was telling the truth!

"Don't be afraid. This era will be difficult, but it will also be exciting."

Su Nan's face showed no worry as he chuckled lightly, "Don't underestimate our world."

"The last heavenly mandate will be very strong, it is His final hope."

"In this era, a large number of heavenly prodigies will emerge, and various holy lands will constantly appear."

"To prepare for the final battle, He will spare no effort to create an unparalleled Great Emperor."

"Win, and the future will be smooth for ten thousand generations."

"Lose, and the continent will shatter, all life will be extinguished."

Xuan Qingzi's face was pale and bloodless, his mind reeling from the secret he had just heard.

Suddenly, he looked up at Su Nan, his tone stern and almost accusatory, "Why does Lord of the Realm Su know these things?"

Such a highly confidential piece of information, in an era where Great Emperors do not appear, who could possibly know?

There was only one possibility! The Dark Forbidden Zone!

"You are very smart."

Su Nan praised him, then fell silent for a moment before speaking, "You guessed right. This information was told to me by a Lord of a Forbidden Zone."

"After countless years, those seals can no longer hold them."

"In my youth, I made a deal with that person."

Xuan Qingzi's face was like stormy water, "You actually made a deal with those traitors?"

"Yes, staying alive, isn't that shameful?"

Su Nan laughed indifferently, "The demons killed my parents and exterminated my clan."

"Without an opportunity, how could a small family like the Su Clan overthrow a vast demon sect?"

"At the moment of clan extinction, who cares if they are traitors or even demons?"

Xuan Qingzi fell silent upon hearing this.

From the perspective of the human race's greater good, Su Nan was terribly wrong.

But from Su Nan's perspective, there seemed to be no other way.

"The Lord of the Forbidden Zone saw my potential and wanted me to serve under him, promising me a position second only to him and above ten thousand others."

Su Nan slowly clenched his hand, and the Great Cang Spear appeared in his grasp. He said calmly,

"I agreed."

"Since that day, the Su Clan has had an Imperial Armament, a lineage, and the power to overthrow the demon sect!"

"Only when the darkness descends will I join the Forbidden Zone and become a traitor to the human race!"

Xuan Qingzi's fists clenched tightly, his anger at the demon sect of the past rising.

To be noticed by a Lord of a Forbidden Zone and promised a position second only to him, it was clear how terrifying Su Nan's talent must have been.

If he had developed normally, even if it took longer, Su Nan could have reached the pinnacle!

Yet, such a brilliant and talented powerhouse was forced into darkness by the demon sect!

This was a tremendous loss for the human race!

"Do you understand now why, even after knowing Changqing's talent, I never told him his true lineage?"

Su Nan looked down at Su Changqing practicing his sword, his eyes complex.

"Protection?" Xuan Qingzi murmured softly.

"Heh, I don't want Changqing to know that his father is a traitor to the human race."

Su Nan looked at Su Changqing, pride flashing in his eyes,

"Changqing's talent is very strong, even surpassing mine. With such talent, he will surely make a name for himself."

"He should be revered by all, not be pointed at by thousands because of me."

"I suppressed his talent because a tall tree in the forest, if it hasn't grown strong, is just a slightly stronger ant."

"I can't protect him for long."

Su Nan smiled again, "But now, it's much better."

"Even without me, without the Su Clan, with Li Qingchen and Wu Jiuling around, no one will dare to bully him easily."

"What I need to do is to pave the way for him as much as possible in the remaining time."

"So..."

He paused, then looked at Xuan Qingzi, "I want to know how much time I have left."

Xuan Qingzi was silent for a long time, then nodded after a moment,

"I will help you!"
