Fang Yu sat back on the chair and said, "Let's talk. Let's tell you your identity first."
"My identity... Haha, if I tell you that in a practical sense, I have no identity, would you understand?" Tianzun smiled and asked.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and said: "You mean... you are no longer a living being, you are actually dead... right?"
"It seems that you already know something." Tianzun was not surprised by Fang Yu's guess and said, "It's as you guessed, indeed... I am not a living being, I am a corpse."
The previous speculation became reality, but Fang Yu showed surprise on his face.
Can a corpse retain consciousness? Can it still communicate normally, or even practice?
So what is the difference between such a corpse and a normal living being?
Aren’t living corpses also living creatures?
"In terms of time, I have died in the Seventh Immortal Realm War." Tianzun continued, "From then on, I was just a corpse without any vitality."
"It's been a long time since the Seventh Immortal Realm War. You died at that time...Why are you still here now?" Fang Yu asked with a frown.
"How did I continue to this day in the form of a corpse... The answer lies in the scarlet scroll in your hand." Tianzun replied, "That is the highest secret of our tribe."
Fang Yu remembered what Mingxu said and asked, "What ethnic group are you from?"
"Tao clan." Tianzun replied.
"Tao clan?" Fang Yu was stunned for a moment.
Such a brief clan name made him unable to react for a moment.
"Yes, Dao clan." Tianzun replied, "Haven't you heard of it?"
"Uh... No, but this name sounds like a super rich clan." Fang Yu replied.
"A super wealthy clan... Haha, it was indeed the Tao clan in the past." Tianzun smiled again.
His smile was dry and cold, without any emotion at all. Instead, it exuded a strange and terrifying feeling.
Fang Yu was also a little surprised at this moment.
Gods, Demons, Monsters, etc... He has heard of all the ethnic groups.
But the Tao tribe, a group that sounds like it should exist, he has never heard of!
This is a very strange thing.
"The Tao Clan once stood at the top of the Immortal World. Like the Human Clan and the God Clan now, they are the ones who rule the Immortal World." Tianzun said.
"So strong?" Fang Yu asked in surprise, "Then why haven't you even heard of it now?"
After asking this question, he knew the answer himself.
Just like when they were in the Jitianxian Realm, there were not many records of the Nether Ghost clan in various history books...
Obviously, the traces left by the Tao clan in history have been erased by the later big clans.
Especially the current God Clan, which has almost wiped out all traces of the human race, let alone the Tao Clan from an earlier period.
But how did the Tao clan decline?
Who could allow an ethnic group that once stood at the top of the fairy world to decline?
Is it like the human race in the past, being besieged by thousands of races?
"The decline of the Tao clan was due to the war in the Immortal Realm." Tianzun said.
His tone was still calm.
"From the First Immortal Realm War to the Seventh Immortal Realm War... In every Immortal Realm War, the Tao clan will be weakened a bit. Until the Seventh Immortal Realm War... it is also the most recent Immortal Realm War that we know.
The domain war... the Tao clan was completely destroyed." Tianzun said.
"The Immortal Realm War..." Fang Yu was shocked and said, "So, why did the Immortal Realm War start?"
"I don't know, I only know... The war in the Immortal Realm is inevitable. It will always happen. Every time it happens, some new powerful clans will be created, and some powerful clans in the past will decline." Tianzun
Said, "Every battle in the fairyland is a reconstruction of the pattern of the fairyland."
Fang Yu nodded, agreeing with this view.
"During the Seventh Fairyland War, our Dao clan had actually declined to the extreme, and was not even strong enough to become an opponent of some big clans... However, the God clan did not let us go, and one of their pure-blood clans took action to destroy us.
All the foundations of the Tao clan have killed the remaining bloodlines of our Tao clan...including me." Tianzun continued.
"It was after that that you died." Fang Yu said.
"Yes, but through the scarlet scroll, my consciousness continues. Although I am still a corpse, but..." Tianzun paused, "I can do many things."
"So, what kind of form are you in now?" Fang Yu frowned, "If you are a corpse, then you should not be alive. Even if your consciousness continues, you are still a living being, not a corpse.
"
"No, I am just a corpse, a corpse." Tianzun replied.
Dao corpse!?
Fang Yu was shocked and said, "What is the difference between you and living beings?"
"The difference is that my existence violates the law of life... Therefore, every day of my existence, I suffer from the backlash of cause and effect." Tianzun replied, "These ribbons on the surface of my body are not used to cover my face.
, just to isolate the death energy emanating from my body."
"I am not a living being, and this can never be changed. Even if I can do everything that living beings can do, I am still a corpse, a corpse that should have died in the Seventh Fairyland War."
These words made Fang Yu's heart shake even more violently.
He suddenly remembered the ghosts and immortals he had faced!
The ghosts and immortals who were between life and death also suffered the backlash of cause and effect!
And the Heavenly Lord in front of him... claimed that he had died long ago and was suffering from the backlash of cause and effect all the time!
"What will the backlash of karma bring to you?" Fang Yu asked.
"It is eating up my memory and destroying my will." Tianzun replied, "For me, the pain is getting worse every moment..."
