Chapter 669 Making it public
Chapter 669 Making it public
"An Easter egg? Are you crazy? Making this public is like tearing away the dignity of our empire!"
Ye Yun looked at Bai Zhangxi, his eyes full of disapproval.
Inside the magnificent palace, several powerful beings at the Mahayana stage stood to the left and right of Wanqi Jingyan.
The Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits has a total of eight Great Ascension stage experts.
Dugu Junli, Bei Mingzi, Ye Yun of the Ye family, Bai Zhangxi of the Bai family, Bei Mingyu of the Bei Ming family, Rui Chen of the Rui family, Wan Qixia, and the most mysterious Fairy Xia Guang on Xianyun Island.
Among these great beings in the Mahayana stage, one is from each of the five major celestial families.
Leaf, White, Northern Darkness, Auspiciousness, Moon.
The Yue family, a celestial clan, has settled on Fairy Island and lived in seclusion for many years. The Fairy of Glow from the Yue family was not standing in front of the main hall this time.
However, the powerful figures from the four major families and Wan Qixia were all present.
Ye Yuncai emerged from seclusion and rushed over upon learning of Yu Cui's situation:
"Bai Zhangxi, speak up! You orchestrated this sect competition, so why bring up old matters instead of releasing some surprises?"
Bai Zhangxi spoke in a flat tone:
"We should have told everyone the truth. Invasion is invasion. Do you dare to do things but not dare to admit it?"
“Bai Zhangzhi, you’re mistaken. How can this be called invasion? Earth is rich in spiritual energy resources, while our empire is resource-poor. This is simply a win-win situation. Bringing Earth into our territory and subjecting it to the protection of our Myriad Spirits Empire is their honor,” Rui Chen said bluntly.
The Rui family and the Ye family share resources among the five great celestial families and have business dealings in many areas.
It's not surprising that the Rui family is allied with the Ye family; their fortunes are intertwined, one prospers and the other suffers.
As soon as Ye Yun finished speaking, Rui Yu followed him.
At this point, Wanqi Ziye could not easily interrupt, so he looked at Wanqi Xia.
Wanqixia tacitly approved of the arrangements for this sect competition. Bai Zhangxi was the one who participated in the planning of this year's sect competition.
Wan Qixia went through it once and did not reject the arrangement of the Easter egg.
Everyone knows what happened back then. Bai Zhangxi just wants to get revenge, but Ye Yun and Rui Yu are still sticking together. They've both reached the Mahayana stage, yet they only care about their own interests.
"Bai Zhangxi did nothing wrong. What happened back then is done, and there's nothing wrong with making it public."
"Ha, everyone tacitly agreed not to say anything when Yu Cui was alive, and no one said anything even after she died for so many years. But now she's saying it. This is not something our two families could have accomplished. Who says you weren't involved?"
Bei Mingyu: "It is precisely because we were involved that we should apologize and repent, and the truth should be revealed."
Among the five Mahayana stage experts, Ye Yun saw that Bei Mingyu, who had never taken sides, had also sided with Bai Zhangxi, so he remained silent.
Two thousand years ago, Earth was the first planet to discover spiritual energy, and its cultivation resources far exceeded those of other planets. When Ye Yun led his team to Earth, they quickly incorporated it into the Wanling Empire.
Every planet in the Empire of All Spirits is more advanced than Earth in terms of technology and development. In the early stages of the spiritual energy revival, technology also surpasses spiritual energy.
They incite existing nations on Earth to fight amongst themselves, plunder resources, and then discard them.
Many cultivators were involved in what Ye Yun did. Originally, he wanted to destroy the planet and the humans on it, but Yu Cui and Wang Jiming were there to protect him, so Ye Yun couldn't reach them and resorted to a scheme to destroy the ecosystem.
As Yu Cui's power grew, she gained more influence.
Unfortunately, due to environmental destruction, Yu Cui had no choice but to seek help from the Wanling Empire to relocate batches of humans from Earth.
Yu Cui also brought Chinese culture to the Wanling Empire, where it continued to thrive.
The flame has not been extinguished, but much of the heritage has been lost during the migration.
Several years after Yu Cui's death, her reputation grew even greater. In order to suppress her existence, Ye Yun erased all traces of her past invasion of Earth.
The inhabitants of the Empire of All Spirits were unaware of this history until the 3619th National College Entrance Examination, when the Empire began to gradually reveal information about the history of China and publish Chinese characters.
After Ye Yun left, Wan Qixia turned to Bai Zhangxi:
"What you're doing could easily disrupt the balance. Even if you don't care about yourself, you should consider the Bai family's interests. It would be better to proceed cautiously."
“I have waited for over a thousand years.” Bai Zhangxi’s eyes were sharp: “If you will not speak up for her, I will.”
“Yu Cui…she,”
"Sigh... Oh well, what's done is done. Bei Mingyu can befriend me, you know I can't participate."
"Thank you, but they won't dare to do so for now."
The people in the main hall gradually dispersed.
Wanqi Jingyan looked at the people still remaining in the hall:
"Grand Preceptor, the power of the Heavenly Rank families is too great. I will not allow the Ye family and the Rui family to annex the Bai family."
"You know what to do. Those two are lawless and there's nothing you can do about them. Bei Mingzi has long been estranged from the royal family..."
Wan Qijingyan knew which of the things Wan Qixia was talking about:
"It is my fault."
“Jiang He is not dead, there is still a chance. The Xiaoyao Sect will definitely rise. There is no need to suppress it anymore. With another sect, the balance of power can be better maintained.”
"Yes, disciple has learned a lot."
"Remember to apologize to her; after all, she is Yu Cui's child."
"Yes."

The logs that appeared during the competition were quickly captured by netizens.
Through each passage, they seemed to see a living, breathing monk who was not yet dead.
This year's Easter egg is really special.
It's really unique; there's no clichéd plot, it's turned into a tearjerker. I had absolutely no idea this picture log existed.
Yu Cui is a character whose fate is already deeply regrettable; it's hard to imagine that someone as powerful as her would die in the Black Nest.
This Easter egg made my eyes water so much I almost peed.
I never knew Earth was Yu Zhanshen's home planet. She was originally from Yangzhou, so I thought she was from Yangzhou.
Me too. And from this, I just found other information, all new stuff. You guys can check it out. The trending topics haven't been suppressed yet, but I'm not sure if they'll disappear later.
It's a bit hard to accept. I didn't expect the Empire to be the invaders. So, does that mean we were an alien invasion of Earth?
The Empire has actually torn off this fig leaf. They've kept it a secret for so long, and they've managed to do it so well. Could it be that they're only showing us what they want us to see?
It shouldn't be.
This time, history has been laid bare. I read the Empire's announcement; there really is such a country on Earth. And that's an understatement. I think the reality is probably much darker, and our Empire might have done even worse.
Of course, we're the victors, so it's normal for things to be romanticized.
The truth is here, and I feel like my worldview has collapsed.
It has to be admitted that the culture on Boss Yu's planet seems to have had a profound influence; even now, people still refer to it as an ancient planet.
That's because you don't know. The older generation knows. I've heard that our culture evolved from ancient planetary culture, gradually developing into what we are today. For example, less common languages like English were passed down from ancient planetary cultures. It's also possible to infer that ancient planetary cultures had Earth.
Suddenly I thought of something. Many time travelers say they come from Earth or something similar, and their culture is similar to something else. Could this Earth be the Earth where Master Yu is located? Let me make a bolder guess: could they all have traveled from the past to the future?
This idea has a very novel perspective. Has anyone researched this area? Perhaps you could check out a relevant paper.
Holy crap, I'm a time traveler! My hometown is called Earth. I never imagined the Myriad Spirits Empire actually has this planet!
How amazing! It feels like I'm having a conversation with my past self.
Adding myself to the list of time travelers, but I have a question: if history really unfolds this way, it seems I won't live to see 2100, since I'm a post-2000s generation.
