Chapter 141: The Aeon of Destiny IV
"Alright, alright, don't think too much. Now, just obediently listen to my inventory stream."
Seeing the Inventory Live Room say this, the people from the three worlds in the stream also quieted down, beginning to wait seriously for the inventory to continue.
...
"In his past life, Xuan Yong was the heir of a top-tier clan. His master and his father were extremely close friends. His father, master, and uncle were all among the top ten strongest experts in the world at that time, while his mother was the number one beauty in the world."
"Although their clan was a top-tier family in that world, there were several other factions of equal renown: One Pavilion, Three Sects, Six Clans, and Seven Gates."
"Their forces were extremely powerful, with each faction possessing two to three Great Emperor-level experts. The major factions coexisted peacefully, dividing the continent among themselves, with each faction managing a nation."
"However, this balance persisted only until a certain treasure emerged. This treasure was taken by Xuan Yong's clan—the Xuan Clan."
...
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kiana: Eh? Class Monitor, why does Mr. Xuan Yong's past life sound so much like those fantasy cultivation web novels from Shenzhou? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Fu Hua: It indeed sounds very similar. Hmm… Could Mr. Xuan Yong's clan actually be from our Shenzhou? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Theresa: Hmm, I think I've read some of those strange novels too. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Xingqiu: This is also quite similar to some of the novels written by the people of our Liyue, though the ones they write don't have such a massive world-building. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Chongyun: Ah, do we have such strange novels in Liyue too? ]
[ Genshin Impact - Zhongli: Indeed, it is quite similar to Liyue. Could Mr. Xuan Yong's past life have been as a citizen of Liyue? ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Herta: Interesting. This strange division of cultivation realms seems rather decent. ]
...
"This treasure was actually the Red Lotus Karmic Fire [ specifically, a sliver of the outer flame of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire ] left behind by the Red Lotus Great Emperor [ Golden Immortal ], who had broken through from the Great Emperor [ Golden Immortal ] realm to become a Saint [ Taiyi Golden Immortal ] and departed for the place known as the Primeval Land during ancient times."
"Because the Red Lotus Great Emperor was the only Great Emperor-level expert in ancient times to break through to Saint and journey to the Primeval Land, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire he left behind surely contained the method to break through to the Saint realm. When this treasure was taken by Xuan Yong's Xuan Clan, it aroused the frantic jealousy of the other major factions."
"However, when these organizations demanded that the Xuan Clan hand over the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, the clan head also brought out this wisp of Red Lotus Karmic Fire. Yet, when everyone tried to comprehend the secrets within the flame, they found no method to break through to the Saint realm."
"Subsequently, after discussing among themselves, the other major factions all believed that the Xuan Clan had hidden the method. They demanded that the clan hand it over, but Xuan Yong stated that he didn't know either, and that they had not hidden it at all."
"Even though Xuan Yong's father, uncle, and master kept explaining that the Xuan Clan had not taken any such breakthrough method and knew absolutely nothing about how to become a Saint, those people refused to believe them, convinced that the Xuan Clan wanted to monopolize the path to Sainthood."
...
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kiana: Ah, why won't those people believe them when they are telling the truth? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Xuan Yong: This is human nature. Desires always dwell in the human heart; they can never be satisfied. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Elysia: This… Mr. Xuan Yong, you should try to understand humanity. Perhaps there is indeed malice in the human heart, but they also have a beautiful side. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Xuan Yong: I never said humanity is bad. I am merely stating a fact. The desires in the human heart are like a boulder rolling down a high mountain—once it starts, there is no way to stop it. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Yuechu: Lord Xuan Yong, that group of humans truly deserves to die. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Churi: Hmph, if I were in that world, I would definitely show those fellows what's what. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Seele: This past seems quite interesting. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Xingqiu: That group of fellows doesn't deserve to be called heroes at all. They have been blinded by greed. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Chongyun: People like that should all be killed. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Neuvillette: The desire and greed in the human heart are endless. ]
At this moment, Neuvillette recalled Carole, Vautrin, and those damn nobles. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly and continue processing the official duties before him.

"However, since they were on the Xuan Clan's territory at the time, they had no way to take down these few individuals. They could only leave helplessly and return to their respective territories."
"Once these fellows returned to their domains, they began to contact each other in secret. After negotiations, the major factions planned to join forces to destroy the Xuan Clan and snatch the method to break through to Saint."
"Later, on the birthday of Xuan Yong's uncle, Xuan Kui, these major factions arrived at the Xuan Clan's territory under the pretext of celebrating his birthday. They gathered hundreds of experts who had reached the Supreme and Venerable realms, intending to wipe out the Xuan Clan together."
"But the Xuan Clan was completely unaware. They thought these people had simply come to celebrate the birthday and were entirely off their guard."
"Just when the members of the Xuan Clan were dizzy from drinking, celebrating so hard they couldn't tell north from south, the leading figures of these factions ordered their brought-along men to strike."
"Immediately, hundreds of assassins rushed into the celebration venue, beginning a frantic slaughter of everyone present. The members of the Xuan Clan reacted instantly, quickly rushing forward to engage in a fierce battle with these assassins and the leaders of these factions."
"However, the major factions combined had a total of over a dozen Great Emperor-level experts, while the Xuan Clan had only three. They were quickly suppressed by the crowd."
"Seeing this situation, Xuan Yong's uncle, Xuan Kui, and his master, Tian Yuan, urged Xuan Yong's father, Xuan Long, to take Xuan Yong and his wife and flee. However, Xuan Long, wishing to live and die with his clan, did not run. Instead, he had his wife, Zhao Xueqin, flee the scene with Xuan Yong."
"Although Zhao Xueqin desperately wanted to stay behind to die alongside her husband and the Xuan Clan, thinking of her child who was not even three months old, she could only turn around and leave the Xuan Clan's territory with a few loyal guards."
"Seeing Zhao Xueqin leave with Xuan Yong, Xuan Long and the other two smiled at each other. They activated their final primordial spirits, intending to drag these dozen or so Great Emperors to hell with them."
"Seeing the crazed Xuan Long and his companions, the other major factions were instantly shocked. They quickly turned to flee, for the self-detonation of a single Great Emperor was enough to blow three Great Emperors to death, and now there were three of them detonating at once."
"Then, with a deafening boom, out of the dozen or so Great Emperors who had arrived, only five defensive-type Great Emperors managed to escape the scene in a wretched state."
"The others, seeing that Xuan Long and the other two had died in battle, were instantly overjoyed. The hundreds of Supremes and Venerables who had arrived began to slaughter the remaining members of the Xuan Clan and plunder their resources. The surviving members of the Xuan Clan also activated their self-detonation abilities one after another, dragging these invaders down with them."
