It must be known that throughout the ages, there have been thirty-three Eternal Heavenly Clans, the supreme heavenly clans left behind by the thirty-three Eternal Heavenly Venerables of old.
Even after the great war of the Multiverse Dusk, which caused the vast majority of the Supreme Heavenly Venerables to fall, becoming ancient and mysterious legends.
However, the fall of the Supreme Heavenly Venerables did not mean that all the Eternal Heavenly Clans had vanished.
On the contrary, throughout history, only five Eternal Heavenly Clans have disappeared. The remaining twenty-seven still exist in the world. Because they possess the legacies of the Supreme Heavenly Venerables, they remain the supreme clans at the peak of their power. In this era where the Supreme Heavenly Venerables do not appear, they subtly rule over the boundless Origin Land.
Among them, one of the five vanished Eternal Heavenly Clans is the Heaven-Mending Clan.
The Heaven-Mending Clan completely disappeared from the world after the Multiverse Dusk war.
Although many people wondered why, of all the Eternal Heavenly Clans, only the Heaven-Mending Clan, this Eternal Heavenly Venerable's clan, would abruptly vanish after the Multiverse Dusk, while the others did not.
That was a major Eternal Heavenly Clan, possessing the legacy of a Supreme Heavenly Venerable. Moreover, during the Multiverse Dusk period, the Heaven-Mending Clan was at an unprecedented peak, boasting a full three Supreme Realm Overlords.
With the Supreme Heavenly Venerables not appearing, who could make such a powerful Eternal Heavenly Clan, at the height of its glory, disappear?
Even if other Eternal Heavenly Clans might be stronger than the Heaven-Mending Clan, they wouldn't be overwhelmingly so—at most just a sliver stronger. It would be impossible to annihilate the Heaven-Mending Clan.
But there was no conclusion. It was only known that the Heaven-Mending Clan vanished completely, becoming an unsolved mystery and a part of the history of the Origin Land.
After two Chaos Eras had passed, when the influence of the Heaven-Mending Clan had almost completely faded from the world, the lineage of the Heaven-Mending City Lord brought Heaven-Mending City to the edge of the Ten Tribulation Heavenly Domain.
Although many people at the time speculated that Heaven-Mending City was likely related to the Heaven-Mending Clan of old, there was no evidence. Moreover, the Heaven-Mending City Lord's lineage never truly acknowledged it. Furthermore, while Heaven-Mending City was magnificent, it still had a certain gap compared to a Heavenly Venerate's ancient city. Thus, many speculations eventually faded away without resolution.
Now, with Supreme Overlord Wan Shen personally speaking out, it could be said that he had truly acknowledged for the Heaven-Mending City Lord's lineage: this was indeed the vanished Heaven-Mending Clan of old.
"The Heaven-Mending Clan truly still exists. The Heaven-Mending City Lord is of the Heaven-Mending Clan lineage. This is destined to bring great calamity!"
Within Heaven-Mending City, an extremely ancient Great Void-level giant deeply furrowed his brows as he spoke.
His origins were of great significance. Although not from an Eternal Heavenly Clan, he was from a top-tier overlord-level power and thus knew many unknown ancient secrets.
Behind him, a Supreme One of the Heaven-Connecting level, a junior, asked with curiosity, "Ancestor, why do you say the Heaven-Mending City Lord is in trouble? Isn't he of the Heaven-Mending Clan? The Heaven-Mending Clan is, after all, one of the Eternal Heavenly Clans."
This Great Void-level giant was clearly an ancient fossil who had lived for endless eons and knew much. He said solemnly, "The reason the Heaven-Mending Clan disappeared after the Multiverse Dusk war was not by choice. They were hunted down by several other Eternal Heavenly Clans to the brink of complete extermination and were forced to hide and seclude themselves from the world."
"Hunted down to near-extermination, forced to hide and seclude!" Upon hearing this, not only the Heaven-Connecting Supreme One junior but also many other present experts were greatly shocked.
Clearly, there were important, little-known secrets involved.
Moreover, anything involving Eternal Heavenly Clans was extraordinary.
Furthermore, to be able to hunt down a powerful Eternal Heavenly Clan at its peak, possessing three Supreme Realm Overlords, to the brink of extermination—just how many Eternal Heavenly Clans must have participated?
At the very least, more than one. Even two or three Eternal Heavenly Clans might not have dared to do such a thing. The profound and unfathomableheritage / foundation of a single Eternal Heavenly Clan is known only to other Eternal Heavenly Clans, let alone one guarded by three peerless Supreme Realm Overlords.
Probably, at least four or more Eternal Heavenly Clans participated to accomplish this.
This made many experts' scalps tingle. Matters involving Eternal Heavenly Clans were major secrets, not easily disclosed to the outside.
Still, they were very curious: what earth-shattering, universally condemned act had the Heaven-Mending Clan committed to be hunted by several Eternal Heavenly Clans?
The Great Void-level Ancient Ancestor slowly said, "This belongs to forbidden secrets, originally not to be mentioned. But now that the Heaven-Mending Clan has appeared, it's no harm to speak of it. In the end, it was because of the root cause of the great war of the Multiverse Dusk—because of that ultimate Heavenly Venerate from the Primordial Realm: Great God Pangu!"
Great God Pangu?
Many people were puzzled, secretly frowning.
Because for the Origin Land, Great God Pangu was an absolute taboo, not to be mentioned.
Therefore, after the Multiverse Dusk war, much information concerning Great God Pangu was known only to the Eternal Heavenly Clans and some extremely ancient overlord-level powers. Few others knew that in those days, there had been such a Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
When mentioning Great God Pangu, even this Great Void-level giant revealed a look of distant yearning and complexity. "Great God Pangu was also one of the thirty-three Supreme Heavenly Venerables of old. Moreover, you might not know that among the Supreme Heavenly Venerables, their strengths were actually quite similar. None could do much to the others. The thirty-three Supreme Heavenly Venerables were basically supreme existences, none significantly stronger than another."
"But, there were two Supreme Heavenly Venerables who were exceptions!"
"The first is Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable, hailed as the truly invincible, strongest Heavenly Venerable in the world, with achievements of defeating and even killing other Supreme Heavenly Venerables. You should have heard many tales of Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable's glorious deeds."
The other experts couldn't help but nod. They had naturally heard many legends about Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable.
After all, even now, Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable is the leader of the nine Supreme Heavenly Venerables.
It is widely said that during the Multiverse Dusk war, Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable even displayed peerless, invincible combat power that overshadowed all ages, killing a Supreme Heavenly Venerable, thus subtly earning the title of Heavenly Venerate King.
"The second person is Great God Pangu!" the Great Void-level giant continued. "Great God Pangu, in all aspects—whether in strength or influence—was a Supreme Heavenly Venerable not one bit inferior to Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable. Another point of even greater importance is that Great God Pangu was the Supreme Heavenly Venerate who came from the Primordial Realm!"
"A Primordial Realm Heavenly Venerate!" The various experts looked at each other, greatly shocked.
Regarding Great God Pangu, he was a taboo of the Origin Land.
Similarly, the Primordial Realm was also a taboo for the Origin Land.
To the vast majority of people in the Origin Land, the Primordial Realm was merely a place of exile, a forsaken land where the Heavenly Dao was deficient and no one could achieve the Eternal Fruit.
They found it hard to believe that in those days, there had been a Supreme Heavenly Venerate who originated from that forsaken land of exile, and a great existence capable of contending with the Heavenly Venerate King, Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable.
Was the Primordial Realm truly just a forsaken land of exile?
