Night Without End

Chapter 1584: Chapter 636: The Chairman’s True Identity (3)

Some people even skip qualifiers like potential and future when addressing them, and simply call them Great Saints.

Like now, Ji Xingran looked at Qin Ming and Niu Wuwei, extremely respectful, and said, "Two Great Saint brothers, this little brother is shallow in experience and didn’t understand your background or origins before. Please forgive me."

Niu Wuwei waved his hand and said, "We’re all brothers here, no need to be so polite."

Though his bull face looked serious, his nature wasn’t rigid; he just habitually kept a "poker face."

Not long after, Ji Xingran stood up and said, "Brother Zhou, a female Saint from the God like Association is also here tonight. I’ll go offer her a cup of wine and will be back soon."

"Go ahead." Zhou Tian waved his hand. He didn’t live here permanently and wouldn’t interfere in these matters lightly; Ji Xingran had his own social circle.

After Ji Xingran left, Qin Ming spoke: "Why do I feel like no matter where I go, I keep running into people from the God like Association?"

He had quite a karmic entanglement with the God like Association and wanted to learn more.

Zhou Tian said, "This organization is enormous; its feelers spread everywhere. That old Chairman is unfathomable, his Skill touches Creation. Even among Supreme Organizations, he’s one of the ruthless figures."

Here in Yao Guang Immortal City, there is a branch of the God like Association.

Qin Ming nodded. Even far away in Ye State, there was the Sanyan Sect belonging to this organization. It was truly outrageous.

Besides, the Chairman by his side was very likely the reference blueprint for that supreme old monster within the God like Association.

Niu Wuwei said, "Even when I was far away in the Earth Realm of Doushuai Temple, I heard of the master of the God like Association. He’s a ruthless character. There are rumors he may have lived through two lifetimes."

Zhou Tian’s expression grew grave as he nodded and said, "That’s indeed what people say. In these last several thousand years, it’s said that two generations of Divine Masters were actually the same person."

Hence, there are plenty of rumors in the outside world about that old monster of the God like Association, cloaked in intense mystery.

Hearing all this, Qin Ming naturally became focused.

A ruthless figure like that had to be thoroughly understood; he was worried they might cross paths in the future.

After all, he had ruined that person’s plans.

Qin Ming said, "Brothers, please tell me in detail: how did he live two lives? All the Strongest of past generations have tried to walk the Longevity Road and failed—has he come close to success?"

Zhou Tian said, "He truly is astonishing. Let’s just use ’he’ for convenience, because I don’t even know whether this person is male or female—just that he’s absurdly formidable, to the point of being a bit sinister."

He paused slightly, pondered, and said, "However, there’s a rumor that he’s completely copying another person’s path."

Qin Ming asked, "There’s even such a thing? Who is he copying?"

Niu Wuwei said, "In the Earth Realm of Doushuai Temple, some old monsters have mentioned this matter before, and I’ve heard a bit. The target he’s copying is related to a strange woman who fell from the stage seven or eight thousand years ago."

At that, Qin Ming’s heart lurched violently; the first person he thought of was the silver-haired Chairman.

If the Chairman had fallen seven or eight thousand years ago, wouldn’t that mean she must have been born ten thousand years ago? After all, such great figures could live very long.

Zhou Tian secretly sent his voice over, communicating, "It’s said that one needs special terrain, combined with a mysterious Blood and Flesh Array, which can allow a person’s Body to become spiritual after death, enabling them to return one day. Back then, that woman successfully underwent Resurgence."

Qin Ming went blank. The Chairman had... already successfully resurrected once in the past?

Now that she was revived again in this era, wouldn’t that make this her third lifetime? That was somewhat terrifying.

He really wanted to drag the Chairman out and talk to her on the spot.

"Forget it, better to pretend I don’t know." Qin Ming mused. This time, was the Chairman revived in bewilderment, or was she "acting" together with him? For the moment, he couldn’t tell and couldn’t figure her out.

For now, it was best to act as if he knew nothing.

Niu Wuwei said, "Actually, some ancient great figures chose this relatively steady route, borrowing the Power of Creation of heaven and earth to bring their Body back through Resurgence."

Only Immortal Remnants, the Blood Calamity organization, and the like used more extreme methods, directly carrying out all sorts of transformations and conducting insanely bloody experiments that went against the heavenly order.

Qin Ming casually asked, "What road did the Supreme Elder choose?"

Niu Wuwei shook his head and said, "Maybe he rode a bull and vanished deep into the Yewu World, or maybe he was buried and is waiting for Resurgence. Perhaps only Lord Xuan Du knows."

What could be confirmed was that the Supreme Elder did indeed pass away back then; his allotted lifespan reached its end. His state in his twilight years was grim—he went through a bloody battle in which even the Supreme Treasure Vajra was almost shattered.

"Innate wisdom... what about that road?" Qin Ming asked.

Zhou Tian said, "It has flaws. In the end, you won’t be entirely yourself. Also, awakening innate wisdom cannot be done again and again: every time you go through it, you burn away a portion of your Spirit Origin."

Worthy of someone who walked out from the Demon Court—His Highness Zhou Tian knew many Secrets.

"Then Second Brother Taiyi..."

Zhou Tian said, "In this lifetime, his Body and Spirit are fused. If he ascends to the ultimate peak again and his lifespan runs out, he definitely won’t choose the road of innate wisdom."

He continued, "Besides, those with innate wisdom aren’t necessarily all great figures. Even ordinary people can occasionally succeed and inexplicably awaken ’the past.’"

Niu Wuwei shook his head and said, "There’s a saying that ordinary people awakening innate wisdom is because, in the distant past, they missed the timing of Resurgence and woke up late, belonging to failed bearers of innate wisdom."

"Could it be that there truly is such a thing as reincarnation in this world?" Qin Ming asked, his expression grave.

Zhou Tian shook his head and said, "In truth, no. But the reality is far more complicated than you and I imagine."

"Fourth Brother, please explain." Qin Ming poured him wine.

Zhou Tian’s voice was low as he said, "So-called innate wisdom is a certain imprint left by ancient strong ones, lodged within the Creation of heaven and earth. When the time comes, it either pours down from the vault of the sky or rises up from underground, merging into a compatible fleshly shell."
