“Dad, why are you also...?” I hurriedly grabbed the Box and pulled my hand away, looking at my father with a terrified expression.
“Son, you can't open it. There may be other ways to resolve this. Once you obtain what’s inside the Box, everything will be irreversible!” My father said with a choked voice.
At that moment, the Sun Warrior Leader, who had been watching us from a distance, stood up and said, “Lao Shen is right. This Box indeed hides a terrible truth. My purpose in telling you this is to make you believe me. If you truly intend to open it now, I will naturally stop you.”
“Earlier, during our meeting in Zunyi, I didn’t tell you everything because the timing wasn’t right. But now, it’s time.”
“The current Yang Master is indeed tainted and filthy, but your real enemy shouldn’t be me; it’s the Dao Slayers! They intend to use your power to destroy everything. Their goal is to cleanse all of humanity!”
The Sun Warrior Leader spoke firmly as he walked over to me and patted my shoulder. He continued, “Just now, your mother referred to me as the God King, which isn’t entirely accurate. The true God King… is right here!” He pointed at the Box in my hand.
“There are three such Boxes in total; I don’t think I need to elaborate further. They are named ‘Open,’ ‘Seal,’ and ‘Close.’ The one you hold is the last Box, ‘Close.’ These three Boxes were not created by a single person but by three factions with different stances that mutually constrain each other. I believe you can roughly guess what these three factions are.”
Hearing this, I was momentarily at a loss for how to respond and could only dumbly reply, “Yang Master, Yin Master, Dao Slayers?”
“No, there are no Dao Slayers involved here; they are merely a group of traitors from the Yang Masters. The true third faction consists of only three individuals: the Supreme Deity and his two Divine Envoys.”
Upon hearing the term Divine Envoy, I couldn’t help but be startled; the name sounded extremely familiar as if I had heard it somewhere before...
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck me, and a name slipped out: “Gu Kai?!”
The Sun Warrior Leader replied, “Exactly. He is one of the Divine Envoys. His power surpasses that of the other eight Void Gods aside from the God King and will only obey the commands of the God King.”
"But why... what does this have to do with me?!" I exclaimed in shock.
"Don't you understand yet?" Upon hearing the question from the Sun Warrior Leader, I found it impossible to continue thinking. My mind was a chaotic mess, and my heart was filled with conflicting emotions, leaving me unable to ponder further.
"From Gu Kai's behavior all along, can't you see? Shen Xu, the Void Spirit within you is the God King. In other words, you can now be referred to as the God King!"
As soon as those words left his mouth, both the Sun Warrior Leader and my parents knelt before me on one knee. I was so astonished that I could only stare in disbelief, unable to utter a single word.
"I-I am the God King? How could that be...?" I stammered.
After a moment, the Sun Warrior Leader and my parents slowly stood up. The Sun Warrior Leader continued, "To be precise, the Void Spirit of the God King within you is merely a shadow without substance. The true essence is hidden within this box called 'He.' Only when the Void Spirit merges can the God King within you truly awaken. However, the awakening of the God King will bring about an unstoppable catastrophe for the world. By then, no one will be able to stop it... including me."
Next, the Sun Warrior Leader helped me and my parents back to the dining table and began to explain the conflict between Yin Master and Yang Master...
It turned out that long ago, Cangjie was guided by others to create the Five Elements techniques, which are now known as Yin-Yang techniques. He became deeply fascinated by this and conducted extensive research.
Due to his high comprehension and strong qualifications, after his death, he used the Five Elements Yin-Yang Technique to combine his soul with the Spirit of All Things, transforming into an immortal Void Spirit. However, he did not anticipate that the spiritual roots of all things would not obey his control. As a result of the increasingly powerful extreme Yin spirit, it gradually took over Cangdi's consciousness, causing him to become increasingly evil.
In desperation, he transformed the Wraiths of his eight most capable subordinates into Void Spirits and bestowed a part of his extreme Yang soul onto four of them—these were the four Void Gods of Yang Master. The corresponding extreme Yin portion of his soul was given to the other four, who were aligned with Yin Master.
Cangdi's purpose in doing this was to harmonize his power in the external world and establish mutual constraints to achieve balance.
Afterward, these eight Void Gods received their powers and were assigned names corresponding to the Nine Stars by Cangdi: Ying, Peng, Rui, Chong, Fu, Xin, Zhu, Ren, and Ying. As for Qin, which corresponds to Zhaoxing (the Star of Evil), it was associated with Cangdi himself.
Because Cangdi bestowed the names of the other eight stars upon them, they became influenced by the corresponding star constellations' personalities, leading to divisions and disputes that ultimately evolved into a war for power.
Initially, both sides were evenly matched, fighting fiercely without yielding. As the God King, Cangdi did not intervene because he understood that the powers and consciousness involved actually originated from himself. This war was merely a struggle within himself. If he were to intervene, it would undoubtedly disrupt the balance and disturb the order that had been painstakingly established.
Moreover, he would risk being tainted again by the extreme yin spirits of the world, transforming into the most terrifying existence in this realm, potentially leading to humanity's destruction.
Thus, he sought out two of the most renowned individuals who were also studying the Five Elements and numerology at that time. He granted them powers equivalent to those of the Void God, hoping they could help him restrain those Void Gods who instigated conflict.
These two chosen by the God King did not disappoint him. Although their inherent powers were only equivalent to those of a Void God, their mastery of the Five Elements combined with guidance from the God King allowed them to quickly surpass those Void Gods and effectively halt the fighting.
However, this good fortune did not last long. Due to the chaos and strife in the world, the rise of evil beings and malevolent thoughts caused the hard-won balance to be shattered once more. The evil spirits grew rapidly, strengthening the Yin Master’s power, while the Yang Master could no longer contend with them, leading to an increasingly one-sided situation...
