“Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable?”
The four sisters exchanged glances, very certain that in their thousand-plus years of life, they had never heard of a “Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable.”
Their Heavenly Serpent clan's genealogy recorded the strongest as the Heavenly Serpent Demon King, but even the Heavenly Serpent Demon King was just a quasi-supreme being at the Return to One Realm.
The Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable looked at their puzzled expressions without getting angry, instead revealing a gentle smile, and said, “Similar, so similar, not only do you look alike, but even your expressions when puzzled are exactly the same.”
Her voice was very soft, so soft that even the four sisters standing in front of her couldn't hear her words.
“Senior, why did you bring us here?”
Tian Yuanyuan couldn't help but ask, the other three sisters also staring intently at the Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable, hoping to get an answer from her.
“It wasn't me who brought you here, but you came here yourselves,” the Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable replied gently.
“We came ourselves?”
The four sisters were even more puzzled. Clearly, someone had brought them here, so how did it suddenly become their own doing?
“Are you joking, or do you think we're naive and easily deceived?” Tian Xiaoxiao's phoenix eyes widened, expressing her dissatisfaction with the answer.
The Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable shook her head, the gentle smile on her face never changing, as she slowly said, “No matter how long they're gone, children will always miss home.”
“Home? Are you saying this is our home?”
Tian Xiaoxiao looked around in disbelief, there was nothing, how could any of this resemble a home?
“This isn't naturally, I'm talking about Sky City,” the Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable said with a smile.
“Senior must be joking, Sky City is the ancient land of the Giant Spirit Clan, we're not the Giant Spirit Clan, how could it be our home?”
Tian Yuanyuan also spoke at this moment, she felt that the Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable in front of her was mysterious, and her words were puzzling.
The Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable seemed extremely patient, she said softly, “It's true that Sky City is the ancient land of the Giant Spirit Clan, but the Giant Spirit Clan is a race I created to protect you, their existence, everything is for you to live happily.”
“We don't understand what you're saying.”
The four sisters all shook their heads, the Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable's words were really difficult for them to grasp, it was as if they were her daughters, but they weren't people of this era, how could they be related to her?
“Silly girls, I am your mother, what's there not to understand?”
The Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable said.
“Ah?”
“Impossible, we're not creatures of this era, how could you be our mother?”
The four girls shook their heads repeatedly, although they had never seen their birth mother, they were very certain that they weren't people of this era, to be precise, they weren't from the same era as the Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable, so how could they be related to her?
“I know this is very unbelievable for you, but that's the truth,” the Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable said with a smile.
“Do you have any evidence?”
Tian Xiaoxiao asked.
“Haven't you noticed that you look very much like me?” the Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable said.
“……”
The four sisters were silent, it wasn't that they hadn't noticed, but they couldn't believe it, because it was too unbelievable.
“There are many people who look alike, one more of you doesn't make a difference,” Tian Xiaoxiao muttered softly.
“Hehe, Xiaoxiao, even if your memories are gone, your personality is still the same as before,” the Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable said.
“So you even know my name, but it's not surprising, people as strong as you can calculate many things with a pinch of your fingers,” Tian Xiaoxiao wasn't as surprised as before that the Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable knew her name.
The Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable shook her head and said, “Yuan, Fang, Zheng, Xiao, these are the names I gave you.”
“The more you talk, the more it seems like that's the case, why would someone as strong as you deceive us?” Tian Xiaoxiao curled her lips.
“Yes, why would someone as strong as me deceive you?” the Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable asked back.
“……”
“You say you're our mother, then why don't we have any memories of you?” Tian Yuanyuan said.
“This is a long story, simply put, I calculated that there would be a great opportunity in this world in later generations, and the era I was in was too chaotic, the Demon Lord was eyeing all the races covetously, and I had a feud with the Golden Winged Great Peng, although we joined forces to deal with the Demon Lord, we would attack each other if there was a chance, whether it was for your future or for your safety, so I sent you to the distant future, but some things happened in the process, causing your souls to be damaged and you lost your memories.”
“But the ending is good after all, the Heavenly Dao didn't reject you.”
The Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable's words made the four sisters sink into contemplation, although it was difficult to accept, but as the Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable said, why would such a powerful being deceive them?
What benefit would there be in deceiving them?
But suddenly someone pops up and says they're your mother, who can believe that? Who can accept that immediately?
Moreover, the Heavenly Dao……
It seems that with their current status, would the Heavenly Dao of the Mortal Realm dare to reject them? It would probably be slapped to death by their martial uncle, and then the Heavenly Dao of the Mortal Realm would be replaced, right?
“Then what happened to you later?”
Tian Yuanyuan asked.
“Me?” The Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable frowned slightly.
“Have you ever heard of me in later generations?” The Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable asked.
The four sisters shook their heads together.
The Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable paused, and couldn't help but smile: "That means I have already fallen."
“How could that be? Aren't you still here?” Tian Xiaoxiao pointed to the Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable's body, clearly standing alive in front of them, how could she have fallen?
“I'm just a wisp of thought attached to the Demon Sealing Board,” the Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable said with a smile.
“Demon Sealing Board?”
They couldn't help but think of the golden list that the old woman had offered, which was also called the Demon Sealing Board.
The Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable seemed to see through their inner thoughts, she said, “The scene you just saw was recorded by the Demon Sealing Board, Tianqian Granny and the Giant Spirit Clan have been dead for a long time.”
“Then who was the person who brought us here?” Tian Xiaoxiao asked.
“Hehe, this is the internal space of the Demon Sealing Board, the Demon Sealing Board seals countless demons, some of which have the ability to manipulate the mind, the Demon Sealing Board refines them, and then obtains such abilities, this ability can transform the things or people you want to meet according to your subconscious.”
The Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable explained.
“Then the Sky City we saw before, is also fake?” Tian Xiaoxiao asked quickly.
The Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable nodded, “Sky City has long been destroyed in the war, this secret realm is the internal world of the Demon Sealing Board, the Demon Sealing Board sensed your aura, and then transformed Sky City according to your subconscious.”
“Then the others are also fake?”
“The others?” The Heavenly Serpent Demon Venerable asked in confusion.
“Immortal Gold, Holy Medicine, all kinds of treasures!” Tian Xiaoxiao asked nervously.
