The three-legged person did not tell the whole truth in certain aspects.
Ye Zhongming actually found few doubts, but that did not hinder his disbelief in the three-legged person.
The three-legged person claimed that the images shown to Ye Zhongming were of his ancestors, and he was a descendant many generations later.
However, this guy overlooked a fact: in the last image, that peerless expert among the three-legged people placed his child into the rift opened by the Key of the Secret Realm... and there was only one child!
Ye Zhongming didn’t know what that peerless expert was thinking at the time. They probably didn’t understand what the Key of the Secret Realm truly was, which is why they left an undeveloped child alone in another world.
Ye Zhongming didn’t care how that child survived, but it should have had the ability to survive and even grow to adulthood. After all, by the time one reached the level of a peerless expert among the three-legged people, their methods were beyond Ye Zhongming's comprehension.
However, there was ultimately only that one child!
Ye Zhongming understood how that child could survive, but how the hell did they reproduce? Did they intermarry with posthumous children? But why did this three-legged person's descendants look exactly like their ancestors? If they intermarried for generations, there should be some maternal traits, right? Even if your genes are strong, can they really be so powerful that there’s no trace left on the appearance of your descendants?
In any case, Ye Zhongming didn’t believe it.
If that was the case, how many generations did the three-legged person claim to be from, and how did they reproduce? Aren’t you hermaphroditic?
If Ye Zhongming guessed correctly, this three-legged person was the son of that expert!
As for why he lied and what his ultimate purpose was, Ye Zhongming could not guess.
Of course, there was another possibility; that even those images were fake, which would further prove that this three-legged person had ulterior motives and that everything was a lie.
Regardless of either scenario, this person was hiding something from Ye Zhongming. The tranquility and friendliness he portrayed were merely a facade.
Ye Zhongming even maliciously thought that this person's purpose was definitely harmful to him; otherwise, why hide the truth instead of speaking directly?
For now, Ye Zhongming still planned to act according to their agreement, but in the future, he would definitely be highly wary of this guy.
Would it be when he became a nine-star evolver?
Ye Zhongming smiled; at that time, he would no longer be a pawn to be manipulated!
As he exited the bottom of the Sacred Pool, several king zuns and the Guardian of the Sacred Pool were waiting there. They could not relax until Ye Zhongming came out, fearing they would miss something.
Ye Zhongming did not hold back and directly showed the divine token he received from the three-legged person to the king zuns.
“Divine Token!?”
They all froze for a moment, and then almost in unison, they exclaimed the name of the token in surprise.
Ye Zhongming asked, and it turned out that this was a channel of communication between the powerful king zuns of ancient times and the almighty god, and possessing this token could earn the favor of the almighty god, thereby gaining even greater power. Over time, this token had become increasingly legendary and was ultimately referred to as the Divine Token.
Ye Zhongming sneered inwardly; this was probably a trick concocted by that three-legged person. What almighty god? That was probably him! Utilizing his outsider status and the bloodline and inheritance of a peerless expert, he was countless times stronger than the people here, thus creating a facade and putting on a show.
This also indirectly confirmed the fact that the three-legged person was the son of that expert; he had lived for a long time and could control posthumous children even long ago.
However, Ye Zhongming was even more confused. If that were the case, who trapped him at the bottom of the Sacred Pool? This point, the three-legged person never mentioned!
