Chapter 258: Chapter 137 1510

Creation Little Five flipped through Chen Shi’s file once more, but did not find who had cut off Chen Shi’s Divine Embryo. However, the time of Chen Shi’s death caught his attention.

"Little Ten’s time of death was just a few days apart from when Dad suppressed me, both occurrences being near the gathering of Independents."

The gatherings of Independents did not have a fixed schedule; they could happen a month or two earlier or be postponed for some time.

The time Chen Shi’s Divine Embryo was taken coincided with the spring county examination.

By then, he had received the Innate Dao Embryo bestowed by the True God, and not long afterward, someone cut off his Divine Embryo, leading to his untimely death.

A few days before his Divine Embryo was taken, just as Creation Little Five was revived, Grandfather Chen Yindou, worried that Creation Little Five may cause trouble again, led the Heavenly Mechanism to suppress Little Five.

When Chen Yindou returned to Qianyang Mountain with Little Five, imprisoning him in the stone boat and after returning home, he received the terrible news of Chen Shi’s death.

"If I hadn’t caused trouble then, Dad could have gone back to see his grandson, and perhaps Little Ten wouldn’t have died."

Creation Little Five was stunned; in other words, Chen Shi’s death had some connection to him.

He searched through Chen Yindou’s files, found nothing more of use, and thus stood up to leave.

"I will not be bound by kinship like Dad."

Creation Little Five’s heart hardened again, he muttered softly, "Dad isn’t a celestial being; he has emotions, and gets entangled in romantic, familial, and friendly relationships. But I won’t. Today, I sent Little Ten to join Dad, and then I will leave Qianyang Mountain."

The corpse of the Heavenly Listener Venerable automatically floated up, rising higher and higher, following him.

At a height tens of miles above the ground, there floated over a dozen corpses, including those of Li Xiaozheng and the red and green elders!

At this altitude, which was already invisible to the naked eye, above lay the solar layer formed by the dual eyes of the Outer Heaven True God and the lunar layer from the vertical eye on the forehead. The solar layer incinerates all flesh and Primordial Spirits, while the lunar layer slashes all Primordial Spirits.

Even Cultivators at the God Refining stage would not easily approach this altitude.

Thus, hiding "food" at this height was very safe.

When Creation Little Five returned to Huangpo Village, it was broad daylight, and Chen Shi was looking for him. Seeing him arrive finally brought relief.

"I thought you had left."

Chen Shi said, "Black Pot has already prepared the meal; come eat some breakfast."

Creation Little Five responded, "I’m not hungry, I’ve eaten already. I had a full meal last night."

After eating breakfast, Chen Shi took Creation Little Five to pay respects to his dry mother.

Creation Little Five didn’t need Chen Shi to hold his hand and could climb the loess mound on his own. It wasn’t his first time visiting the loess mound; rather, every time Chen Yindou came home, he would come to this mound.

The pressure on the loess mound was extremely terrifying, but his strength was unfathomably profound, allowing him to stroll on the mound leisurely.

He was also familiar with Zhu Xiucai. Soon after he was born, Chen Yindou had brought him home, and that was when he first met Zhu Xiucai.

At that time, Zhu Xiucai tirelessly taught him many life lessons, guiding him onto the right path.

Later, when Chen Shi was born, Chen Yindou would have him accompany the young Chen Shi for play, and they would also come to this loess slope. Back then, Chen Shi, with his mortal eyes, couldn’t see Zhu Xiucai.

He had brought Chen Shi to the loess mound also with ulterior motives, tempted to devour the cute, snowy baby when nobody was around.

However, he had restrained himself at that time.

Because he knew if he devoured Chen Shi, Dad would definitely not let him go.

"But now there is no Dad, just Zhu Xiucai alone..."

Creation Little Five’s eyes flickered as he looked toward the stele under the old willow tree. As Chen Shi paid respects, light flowed across the stele.

He had been here before but had never paid attention to this stele.

Now, as he observed the stele, he sensed its extraordinariness.

"This stele definitely has some mystery!"

His spirit penetrated into the stele, and suddenly he saw a vast emptiness before him, an endless void with no visible end.

Creation Little Five was startled and quickly withdrew his spirit.

The stele harbored a boundless void; a slight misstep could result in getting lost within it, causing the spirit to slowly dissipate over time, which was extremely dangerous.

"What exactly is the origin of this stele?"

He was quite puzzled. Dad Chen Yindou was always curious about everything, and he must have long since discovered the extraordinariness of the stele. Why didn’t Dad explore the secrets of the stele while he lived in Huangpo Village?

Unless, even Dad dared not explore it!

Creation Little Five wavered, an unusual situation for him.

Seeing Chen Shi and Creation Little Five getting along closely, Zhu Xiucai’s heart also shocked, planning to quietly warn Chen Shi. But as Creation Little Five’s gaze swept over with a threatening aura, Zhu Xiucai immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say a word.

"Chen Wu certainly doesn’t respect teachers and values, if I talk nonsense, he will definitely finish me off!"

Zhu Xiucai couldn’t help but worry, Creation Little Five was a madman; if he decided to strike Chen Shi, even if Chen Yindou were resuscitated, he couldn’t contend!

"You haven’t been home for years, I’ll take you to pay respects to Grandfather, and then pay homage to the spirits in the mountain."

Chen Shi suggested, "It’s rare for you to come back; paying homage to the mountain spirits will let Qianyang Mountain know of your return, and it will protect you."

Creation Little Five neither agreed nor disagreed; he followed Chen Shi wherever he went.

The two arrived in front of Chen Yindou’s grave. Chen Shi knelt before Chen Yindou, burning spirit money, and said, "Grandfather, Chen Tang has returned; he came to see you."

He hesitated then added, "Grandfather, rest assured, my relationship with Chen Tang is good; we won’t upset you."

Creation Little Five was puzzled inwardly: "Why does he keep calling me Chen Tang? Shouldn’t he be calling Chen Tang ’Dad’?"
