"Who are you? How can you absorb the power of the meteor?"
The remnant soul of Huo Shui asked Yun Fan.
Yun Fan replied, "My name is Yun Fan, and of course, I am also your husband!"
"What?"
Huo Shui couldn't believe what she was seeing, nor could she believe Yun Fan's words.
Yun Fan continued, "That's the truth. You are now just a remnant soul, but your main body outside is my wife!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Shui could no longer sit still and quickly asked, "Is she alright?"
"She's fine!"
Yun Fan said, "She's just a bit abnormal without you, this remnant soul!"
In Yun Fan's opinion, Huo Shui had become abnormal because she was missing this remnant soul.
Huo Shui sighed, "I didn't expect my main body to still be alive after that battle ten thousand years ago. I thought she had already dissipated!"
"What happened ten thousand years ago?"
Yun Fan asked in confusion.
Huo Shui explained, "It should be more than twenty thousand years ago. At that time, my Tai Xuan Divine Sect was a great cosmic race, but it was annihilated by the uncanny race!"
"Are the uncanny race occupying the entire universe now?"
She asked Yun Fan.
Yun Fan replied, "Not entirely. Later, a more powerful race appeared and dealt with the uncanny race. Although the uncanny race still exists, they are merely struggling to survive!"
"That's good then!"
Huo Shui shed tears, "All of this was caused by Ba Tian!"
Yun Fan knew that Ba Tian was the previous Lord of the Universe, and he never expected that the uncanny race was actually brought in by Ba Tian.
Huo Shui explained, "My Tai Xuan Divine Sect belonged to Ba Tian's faction. Ba Tian, after losing the competition with the current Lord of the Universe, retreated from the cosmic stage. However, he never gave up, so he opened coordinates from the deepest part of the universe and attracted the uncanny race!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan was instantly moved. He finally understood how the uncanny race came about. He had always wondered why, since the birth of the universe, only the uncanny race and the Zhan Tian race had appeared.
It turned out to be intentional. The Dragon God had once been suppressed by Ba Tian. It seemed that the Lords of the Universe throughout the ages were not good people!
"Our Tai Xuan Divine Sect bore the brunt of it and suffered first. In desperation, I could only split off this remnant soul and hide it in the meteor, thus escaping the disaster. I never expected to wake up again twenty thousand years later!"
She sighed.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Yes, in fact, the uncanny race was annihilated ten thousand years ago. The Nine Ancestors of the Uncanny were annihilated by the third strongest, the most handsome and charming person in the universe!"
"The uncanny race retreated from the cosmic stage, but so did the Zhan Tian race!"
Hearing this, Huo Shui deliberately ignored the words "most handsome and charming" and asked Yun Fan, "If the Zhan Tian race was so strong that they could annihilate the uncanny, why did they withdraw from the cosmic stage?"
Yun Fan shook his head and said, "I don't know! But there must be a reason!"
"It's probably the doing of the two Lords of the Universe!"
Huo Shui stated directly.
Although Yun Fan had long suspected this possibility, he had not confirmed it. He was surprised that Huo Shui, who had been isolated from the world for twenty thousand years, could pinpoint it so accurately.
Huo Shui continued, "Everyone wants to sit in the position of the Lord of the Universe, but once they ascend to that position, people become greedy!"
"To secure that position, they are willing to sacrifice everything, including the beings of the universe!"
Yun Fan nodded. He had no good feelings towards the so-called Lords of the Universe anyway.
At this moment, Huo Shui continued, "Time flies. I do not belong to this era. Please refine me as well!"
"What?"
Yun Fan was stunned. He hadn't expected Huo Shui to make such a request, which was completely beyond his anticipation.
Yun Fan said, "I can take you out, and our souls can merge!"
"No!"
Huo Shui stated directly, "I don't want my remnant soul to control her. That would be very unfair to her. I abandoned her back then, and now it's time for me to repay the debt!"
Huo Shui was able to let go. In Yun Fan's opinion, she no longer had any will to live.
In the end, Yun Fan chose to refine her.
Before her soul shattered, Huo Shui thanked Yun Fan, "Thank you. I had long lost the will to live, and only wanted to see the annihilation of the uncanny race. Now that the uncanny race is annihilated, I have no regrets!"
With that, her soul dissipated before Yun Fan's eyes.
After Yun Fan refined the meteor, he directly broke through to the sixth level.
At this moment, the meteor completely dimmed and then shattered.
"Husband, you succeeded?"
Huo Shui looked at Yun Fan excitedly because she could feel that Yun Fan was at the same level as her.
Moreover, Yun Fan's combat power was definitely much higher than hers.
At this moment, Yun Fan decided to tell her the truth, "Twenty thousand years ago, she abandoned you. She chose to shatter her soul in this era, and you should no longer interfere with her!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Shui naturally understood what Yun Fan meant.
"Husband, how do you know?"
Huo Shui was shocked. In fact, she knew all along but dared not face the reality. She really didn't want another consciousness to control her before.
But this time, she insisted on coming with Yun Fan because she had come to terms with it. Even if that remnant soul wanted to control her, she would have no regrets.
After all, twenty thousand years ago, this body truly belonged to that remnant soul, but it had been abandoned by that remnant soul.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "She told me everything!"
"I don't know why, but even though she abandoned me, I felt heartbroken when I sensed her dissipating!"
Huo Shui directly confided her feelings to Yun Fan.
Yun Fan comforted her, "Don't be sad. What's past is past. You are now the most perfect you!"
"But won't husband dislike me for being abnormal?"
She asked worriedly. Indeed, her spirit was not quite normal, as she was missing that divine soul.
Yun Fan said, "Don't worry. I think you are fine as you are! And I would never dislike you!"
"Mhm mhm!"
After learning about Huo Shui's experience, Yun Fan felt immense sympathy. A body that was abandoned, and then a divine soul was born from it. How incredible!
It seemed that the chaotic turmoil of the uncanny had indeed harmed many beings.
When they returned, the remaining six looked at them with expressions of disbelief. They never expected Yun Fan to subdue the meteor so quickly and become a sixth-level existence.
This was simply too heaven-defying!
Yun Fan said, "Everyone, I have broken through to the sixth level. From now on, you will follow me!"
Before, he detested these sinful Immortal Emperors, as each of them had mental abnormalities and were beings who wreaked havoc upon the universe.
But now his mind had changed, because he finally understood the origin of these sinful Immortal Emperors.
They were all victims of that chaotic turmoil of the uncanny. After the uncanny invasion, their loved ones and friends were gone, and thus they had become abnormal beings.
In Yun Fan's view, the truly sinful ones were not these seven, nor the uncanny race, but the previous Lord of the Universe.
If it weren't for the previous Lord of the Universe bringing the uncanny into this universe, there wouldn't have been so much tragedy afterward.
More than three-quarters, or even more, of the universe had been eroded by the uncanny. What a cruel scene this was.
At this moment, besides Huo Shui, the remaining six looked at Yun Fan with a degree of admiration.
After all, with Yun Fan's speed of advancement, he was fully qualified to earn their submission.
...
In the land of the Alliance, several figures at the level of Alliance Leaders frowned, for the Lord of the Universe had indeed started the war ahead of schedule.
They had expected this war to occur a thousand years later, but it had come so quickly. This time, the Lord of the Universe had truly gone all out.
They had even sent the remaining seven Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses. This clearly showed that they intended to leave no room for the Alliance to survive.
However, fortunately, the Alliance was not overly fearful. The Lord of the Universe could not emerge from seclusion yet. Although there were seven Immortal Emperors, the Alliance had three Eighth-level beings, one Fifth-level, and one Fourth-level Immortal Emperor. The remaining three, including Qi Kunlun, were not at a high enough level to control the overall situation.
At this moment, a figure descended. It was Qing Luan, who had recently recovered her strength.
With Qing Luan's appearance, the Alliance had even more confidence, as Qing Luan had recovered to her peak Seventh-level strength.
This battle, for the Alliance, had a greater chance of victory. Of course, they had no choice, because they had to win this battle.
If they failed even in the first battle, they would then dissipate into the universe, becoming mere history.
At this moment, they had not invited Yun Fan to come, because Yun Fan was their last hope, and coupled with the fact that Yun Fan's level of cultivation was insufficient to control the overall situation, they were fighting this battle for Yun Fan.
