Su Yu thought about it and said, "This isn't right. I know a guy who has seemingly integrated all five elements. He is already capable of using all five elements." Xing Yue was surprised. He Tu was also surprised. He asked, "Why am I not aware of such a person?" "That's a nobody. A youngster called Topsoil Spirit." He Tu nodded understandingly and said, "The five elemental race was split by the laws. How is that...possible?" That would only be possible if they were strong enough to counter the laws. Xing Yue thought about it and said, "Not necessarily. There are to ways around that. Firstly, a five elemental born near their realm origin might have the ability to utilize all five elements naturally. Secondly, someone related to their ancestor. Back then, the Five Elemental Ancestor was stripped of his five elemental origin. But the origin wasn't taken away. Rather, it was kept in the Five Elemental Realm. Perhaps this person was born from the five elemental origin. Essentially, he is the Five Elemental Ancestor reborn." What was the meaning of that? Su Yu asked, "Is the Five Elemental Ancestor dead?" "He survived the procedure, but he's probably dead now." Xing Yue said, "His strength would keep dropping after deprived of his origin. After so many years, he must have died. In that case, it is likely that he will be reborn from the origin. Achieving rebirth through destruction." Su Yu's eyes flickered. Topsoil Spirit. Rebirth through destruction. "In that case, Topsoil Spirit might be the Five Elemental Ancestor?" Xing Yue said, "No. The ancestor is dead. At most, he's a...son of the ancestor? Or daughter? The concept of genders do not exist in the five elemental race." Su Yu inhaled deeply and said, "So he can be considered the first generation descendant of the Five Elemental Ancestor. A direct descendant of an ancient Pseudo Emperor. Is that right?" Su Yu was left speechless. That was quite a noble identity. No wonder. No wonder Topsoil Spirit was so loved among the five elementals. Each time something happened to him, a bunch of five elemental Invincibles would appear to help him. Just look at how easily he had obtained multiple Invincible talismans from his elders. Regardless of whether he was born near the realm origin or born from the ancestor's origin, one thing did not change. He was the hope of the five elemental race. Back in the mansion, Su Yu knew that Topsoil Spirit was hidden in Auspicious Golden's heaven weapon. But that fellow had been quite tactful as Auspicious Golden was the first non-human to help them. Thus, he hadn't bothered to do anything to Topsoil Spirit. Thinking about it, Su Yu said, "Teacher Liu, I recall you scamming Topsoil Spirit previously. You used the Five Elemental Art as the bait, right?" Liu Hong asked blankly, "What about it?" Su Yu sneered, "You sure know a lot. Not even I know that the Five Elemental Art is the thing they want most. But you know about it." "What are you talking about? Isn't it normal for the five elemental race to long for something called the Five Elemental Art?" Liu Hong complained in a wronged manner, "The name alone makes everything obvious." Su Yu sneered, "Is that so? I came up with that name myself." Liu Hong said, "But that's such a generic name. It's not hard to accidentally make up a name like that. Was I supposed to call it the Six Elemental Divine Art instead?" Su Yu couldn't be bothered to argue, but he was certain Liu Hong knew it. That was why Topsoil Spirit had fallen for the scam so easily. "Did the five elemental race lose the Five Elemental Art?" "Yeah." Xing Yue said, "Most likely. They stopped cultivating that art after that incident." "Who did they offend? The Human Emperor?" "I don't think so." Xing Yue said, "I don't remember too much about this. But it seemed to be related to the five elements. Their ancestor might have been too arrogant and offended an expert specializing in the five elements as well. But I don't know the identity of that expert." Su Yu nodded, "If you don't know it, the five elementals probably don't know it as well. In that case, I have a good guess. It must be the immortals. The ancient Immortal Pseudo Emperor was too treacherous." Xing Yue blanked out. Immortal Pseudo Emperor? Why was she unaware of that? He Tu was confused momentarily as well, but soon, understanding dawned on him. Meanwhile, Wan Tiansheng appeared completely indifferent. He knew that the kid must be scheming something again. With a look of righteous indignation, Su Yu continued, "The Five Elemental Ancestor had offended the ancient Immortal Pseudo Emperor due to his mastery over the five elements. The Immortal Pseudo Emperor cultivated the five elements as well. The proud Five Elemental Ancestor offended him by claiming that the five elemental manipulation of the immortals was a joke. "In his fury, the Immortal Pseudo Emperor defeated the Five Elemental Ancestor and stripped his origin. That wasn't enough. The Pseudo Emperor abused his power in the ancient assembly, kicked the five elemental race out, and stripped their realm origin as well. Finally, he banned the Five Elemental Art to conclude everything. The existing cultivators of that art were all killed by the resulting tribulation, resulting in the loss of the Five Elemental Art." Xing Yue was completely confused. Xia Chen sank into contemplation. Wan Tiansheng rubbed his chin thoughtfully. As for Liu Hong, he clapped and said, "Perfect! That is the perfect story! Only someone who had lived through the events back then would know whether this is the truth or a lie." He couldn't resist raising his thumb at Su Yu. It had taken the kid mere moments to solve an ancient case with an entirely believable story. Such amazing skills! Su Yu continued without a change in expression, "There are more than ten Invincibles in the five elemental race. They might even have more secret Invincibles hidden away. Perhaps they could even produce twenty Invincibles when needed. This is a rather formidable force. That's already almost comparable with the dragon race." "Have they forgotten their ancient hatred? Since Lord He Tu is unaware of this matter, clearly, those from the first epoch had no idea. Lord He Tu's father was a nobility of the ancient past, a great-great-grandson of Devote King. Not even he knew the truth. Thus, Tiangu might not know the truth either." "Since this involved the secrets of ancient Pseudo Emperors, I reckon only some human kings and Pseudo Emperors knew about it. All these people are not around anymore. Thus, we are the only ones aware of the truth." Su Yu smiled, "Five elemental race. Topsoil Spirit. How interesting. It won't be easy for me to befriend any other five elemental, but I know Topsoil Spirit very well! He's a smart guy. He knows to bow when necessary, and he's also greatly loved by luck. Someone like that is very open for negotiations." The five elemental race was a formidable race. And Topsoil Spirit was very important for the five elemental race. What a surprise. Su Yu had not expected learning about something here. He said, "Lords, do you know any other secrets?" He was trying to find more usable secrets. This had been a very productive gossiping session. Xia Chen had talked a lot, but he had only provided a little useful information. Meanwhile, Xing Yue and He Tu were a lot more useful. Sure enough, age could be very useful at times. At that thought, Su Yu grew even more curious about Xing Yue's identity. He asked, "Lord Xing Yue, do you still remember your previous identity?" Googlᴇ search novel⚑fire.net Xing Yue replied coldly, "What is the point? Then again, I was definitely someone far more noble than He Tu. Compared to me, he was a peasant." He Tu sneered, "Why are you getting all proud for no reason? You were already under Grandstar since the first epoch. You have been around for so long yet you're still so weak. Are you not embarrassed of yourself?" Xing Yue stared at He Tu coldly. Was he insulting her? "Back when I was already a death spirit, you were still alive. But you had nearly died twice since then." Xing Yue finished with a snort. Her strength had stagnated because she didn't enjoy hunting. For death sovereigns, hunting was essentially the process of killing other death sovereigns and consuming their death imprints. She hadn't done that much. Not long ago, she had received a death imprint of a seventh-degree Eternal from Su Yu. Upon consuming that, she would probably grow stronger. Su Yu wasn't interested in their quarrel, but he still listened attentively in case they leaked more secrets while bickering. Since he didn't learn anything new this time, he asked, "What about the soul devourer race? Do you know anything about them?" He Tu shook his head, "No. This race...can't be considered a proper race. I only knew some rumors. Their origin might be related to the Culture King." Xing Yue said, "I don't know too much about them. I only remember that...Soy Bun used to stay at Culture King's place." Surprisingly, Xia Chen had something to say about this topic. "Soy Bun? There are some records among the line of the Gravekeepers about this. I had always thought that the records were referring to some food. But is the so-called Soy Bun actually the Soul Devourer Pseudo Emperor?" Xia Chen continued, "I remember something about this. Soy Bun...was indeed related to the Culture King. He might be an existence similar to the five elemental race. He was born out of nature itself. Or he might even be a living being formed of Culture King's character..." The little furball jumped out and protested, "Impossible! My dada is so strong! How could a single character of Culture King be so strong? Also, if my dada is a character, what am I?" Xia Chen looked at the little furball curiously and asked, "Is this...a little soul devourer?" The little furball sulked angrily. Xia Chen looked at Su Yu with confusion and asked, "Did your character mutate as well?" Su Yu was rendered speechless. What was that? Xia Chen asked, "Your dada...are you referring to Pseudo Emperor Soy Bun? If he used to be a character, you must be one as well. Perhaps he simply treated you as an offspring after finding you somewhere because you are younger." "Impossible! My dada gave birth to me!" The little furball was very angry. He refused to believe that. Su Yu suddenly recalled some rumors he had heard before. His expression turned odd as he said, "I heard that your mama spent hundreds of years waiting to eat Tiangu outside the Immortal Realm. How old are you, Furball?" The little furball thought and counted very hard before answering gloomily, "I'm twelve!" According to the human calendar, he was twelve. He insisted unhappily, "My dada gave birth to me!" Su Yu asked curiously, "How did you know that you have a mama? Hasn't she been away your whole life?" "I know because I know!" The little furball continued sulking. Su Yu placated him, "I see. Yes yes. You are definitely your dada's child. Your mama must have returned to give birth when she found some time before leaving for Tiangu again. Yeap. That story makes perfect sense." The little furball thought about it and nodded in agreement. Yes. That must be the case. It made perfect sense. He returned to Su Yu's sea of willpower with a much improved mood. The others were rendered speechless as they witnessed the way Su Yu was fooling the little furball. Was he being serious? Returning to give birth when she found some time? How could one argue against this unless one was the person in question?
