Chapter 1337: Error

The Human Emperor's Master, Bu Lian, ranked among the Eight Sages of the Ancient Era, was ultimately slain by the Human Emperor Sui Ren?

Such a secret filled Jiang Wang with momentary silence.

How magnificent were the Human Emperors of each generation?

Sui Ren, moreover, pioneered a new era, the first Human Emperor of the Human Race.

This great existence led the Human Race from hardship to rise, pierced through the boundless darkness, and announced the end of the Ancient Era.

A person so great naturally could not have a single blemish passed down through the ages.

Therefore, the act of "Human Emperor Slaying Human Emperor's Master" was never passed down through the millennia, unseen in any historical records. Only today, from Yu Beidou's lips, did he hear a fragment.

"Why?" Jiang Wang couldn't help but ask.

The historical secrets lost in the long river of time hold a thrilling charm, making one eager to delve into them.

As this world has developed to the present, the glorious, the great, the brilliant, and the obscure, the painful, the tragic... are all intertwined within the rolling river of history.

How the Human Race emerged from the dark era is itself a great epic.

Those of today, tracing history, cannot but be captivated.

Ancient heroes are the towering mountains of today.

One wishes to know how greatness was achieved, how everything taken for granted today became reality.

Who can resist the pursuit of historical knowledge?

"The Human Emperor slaying Bu Lian is not passed down through the world. In various secret transmissions of information, there are many different explanations for the Human Emperor's slaying of Bu Lian, with no definitive conclusion. My lineage, inheriting the art of fate divination, saw this information in the river of destiny —"

Yu Beidou said, "In that dark era, the Human Race, led by the Human Emperor, grew continuously stronger, beginning to contend for more power under this sky, and the conflict with the Demon Race intensified daily...

Grandmaster Bu Lian, who divined the future for the Human Race, exhausted his heart's blood at that time, divining nine times, each卦 identical, the will of heaven resided with the Demon Race.

He firmly believed in the future he saw, and strongly urged the Human Emperor to lie dormant.

But clearly, the future he saw and was convinced of was not the future the Human Emperor desired.

And as the Human Emperor's Master, the sage who once enlightened the Human Emperor and provided guidance to the Human Race, the first human to glimpse the long river of destiny... Bu Lian's influence within the Human Race was beyond doubt.

Thus, the Human Emperor slew Bu Lian, fabricated the divination interpretation, falsely claiming that Bu Lian divined his death as the hexagram, calculating that the will of heaven was with the Human Race, and actively instigated the great war with the Demon Race..."

Yu Beidou finished this passage slowly, shaking his head, "Of course, the final outcome is already known to all."

The result of that great war in the Ancient Era was naturally the Human Race's sole dominance in the present world, and the Demon Race being driven beyond the world.

Thus began the Ancient Era.

In the mid-Ancient Era, the Human Emperor You Xiong Shi, in conjunction with three Dao Venerables, constructed the Myriad Demon Gate, completely severing the Demon Race's hope of returning to the present world.

From then until now, the former masters of the present world are still blocked behind the Myriad Demon Gate, posing no substantial threat to the Human Race. They are even regarded as "resources," with Human Race armies constantly venturing forth to plunder.

One could say, man conquers nature.

Speaking of Bu Lian's death, there was no resentment in Yu Beidou's tone. Although he inherited the art of fate divination, he was born a human and could not deny the magnificent achievements of the Human Emperor Sui Ren.

That great war in the Ancient Era ultimately proved Sui Ren's correctness.

Jiang Wang was silent.

History proves that Human Emperor Sui Ren certainly led the Human Race down the correct path. But in that ancient era, Bu Lian also exhausted his heart's blood divining for the Human Race; he too saw what he believed to be the true future, insisting on what he firmly believed to be correct...

And the steadfastness of this ancient sage precisely guided him to his death.

Upon hearing this story, Jiang Wang suddenly understood the sentence Yu Beidou had spoken—

"The further you walk on this path, the more you cannot escape fate."

This is... the dead end of divination.

Just as with the diviners, just as with Bu Lian in the Ancient Era, how could the current Yu Beidou be any different?

Yu Beidou's voice continued, "If even a sage like Bu Lian could die, what reason is there for the art of fate divination to continue without end?"

"Aren't you still here?" Jiang Wang asked.

"But the river of destiny is already rejecting me." A smile still graced Yu Beidou's face. "Otherwise, why do you think I cannot attain Derivation Dao?"

He said with that smile, "It is not that I cannot derive the Dao, but that heaven has cut off fate divination, preventing me from achieving success! Otherwise, what of Yan Chunhui? What of Jiang Meng Xiong?"

This shameless old swindler is indeed very arrogant when he's being arrogant.

But Jiang Wang had to admit, he certainly had the capital for arrogance.

"I think..." Jiang Wang said, "Even if the art of star divination has become the current orthodoxy, the art of fate divination can still exist. The path of cultivation should inherently be one of blooming flowers."

"You are truly adorably foolish," Yu Beou said with a smile. "This is different from ordinary cultivation. Regarding the future, there can and must be only one authoritative interpretation. Whoever interprets the will of heaven occupies the orthodox lineage. This is the cruel nature of the divination path."

"So those inheritors of the art of star divination have been hunting you down? To exterminate the art of fate divination completely?" Jiang Wang asked.

Yu Beidou let out a 'heh' sound, "Killing me, Yu Beidou, one person, what use is that? They only do one thing, to expel the art of fate divination from the river of destiny. And this matter... was already successful ten thousand years ago."

Jiang Wang couldn't suppress his shock, "Then you..."

If the art of fate divination had already been expelled from the river of destiny, unable to glimpse fate, then why did the art of fate divination still exist? Why was Yu Beidou still here? Why could he still calculate everything to the extent of knowing even gods and ghosts?

"I am a fish that slipped through the net, an amphibian, moving between the water and the shore." Yu Beidou said, "I am a mistake, and I am an end."

I am a mistake, and I am an end...

This is too cold a sentence.

When Yu Beidou said this sentence, he was too calm.

How was it when he accepted this sentence back then?

He kept saying that Jiang Wang was too young, saying how good it was to be young, saying that people are like this when they are young...

What about when he himself was young?

That Yu Beidou who said, "What of Yan Chunhui? What of Jiang Meng Xiong?" seemed like just a silhouette among countless Yu Beidous of the past.

Only a fleeting glimpse.

The current Yu Beidou is an old man who can lie down anywhere and extort a few copper coins.

Jiang Wang said seriously, "You are a peerless expert. Just regarding the matter of sealing the Blood Demon, you have made contributions to the Human Race. I think you are not a mistake, you are someone who corrects mistakes."

Yu Beidou chuckled, "I don't need your comfort. And as for sealing the Blood Demon, I wasn't entirely for the public good. I wanted to use the sealing of the Blood Demon to erase the mistakes of my lineage, and also to use the source of the Blood Demon to resist Yan Chunhui's sword."

Jiang Wang asked, "The mistake you mentioned refers to..."

"There's no harm in talking about it." Yu Beidou looked again towards the spot where the Diviner had disappeared, his eyes momentarily in a daze.

"My senior brother was a genius, a true peerless genius, from childhood to adulthood, much more dazzling than me..."

"He realized the dead end of the art of fate divination earlier than I did, knowing that the path ahead was irreversible. And he and I were merely our master's last struggles."

"I stuck to tradition and accepted reality, but my senior brother was not content with this."

"He had been searching for a way to break the dead end of fate divination, to reinterpret the river of destiny. Finally, with his peerless talent, he created the art of Blood Divination based on the foundation of fate divination."

"This art of Blood Divination is the biggest mistake of my lineage."
