Chapter 510: Sorting Out the Truth

The Lightning Shuttle shot up into the void.

Standing on it, Nie Tian was lost in a myriad of thoughts as he looked down and watched the floating continent crumble and sink.

Earlier, he had captured a large number of broken images from the mysterious spell formation of the seventy-two tree branches.

Now, as he slowly sorted through them, his heart was increasingly shaken.

By putting the broken images back together, he finally obtained a fairly clear and thorough understanding of this strange dimension.

At the very beginning, there had been only two extremely vast continents in this dimension, one on top and one on the bottom.

The two of them had been connected by mountain peaks that were unimaginably high.

The continent on the bottom had been inhabited by gigantic creatures, like spirit beasts and dragons that were a thousand meters long, and titans that were as enormous as mountains.

Meanwhile, the continent on the top had been home to high-tier Demons, Phantasms, Fiends, Bonebrutes, Floragrims, and other intelligent outsider species.

Wars never ended between the inhabitants of the two continents.

The intelligent beings from the top continent had always desired to enslave the gigantic beings from the bottom continent, and they had made endless attempts and exhausted all methods to bring the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth from the bottom continent up to the top continent.

Eventually, the final war inevitably broke out between them.

After that war, the huge mountain peaks that had connected the two continents exploded, which caused the two vast continents to break into pieces.

The so-called intelligent beings not only hadn’t gained any benefit from the war, but had also been forced to migrate due to the shattering of the top continent.

The structure of the bottom continent had also been permanently destroyed, which had caused the extinction of many large beings.

The great upheaval had caused the energy of heaven and earth from the top continent to mingle with that of the bottom continent, rendering the environment uninhabitable for the surviving species from both continents.

Therefore, all of the outsiders that had luckily escaped doom drifted away to other realms and dimensions.

The floating continent he and Pei Qiqi had discovered was a broken piece from the top continent, which had been home to Floragrims.

Before their evacuation, the Floragrim survivors had preserved their homeland with their special magics.

The ward around the floating continent had been the protective spell they had left. However, since he had learned its secrets and channeled those mysterious tree patterns into the seventy-two tree branches, the Floragrims’ ancestral land had lost its protection and sank to destruction.

However, the conflicts between the two original continents had been between outsider races and enormous creatures. The Human race had never appeared in this realm.

Now, after what could be tens of thousands of years, the originally prosperous realm became what it looked like now.

For the first time in the history of this realm, humans came to explore it.

Eyes glittering, Nie Tian stared blankly at the crumbling continent and watched it gradually disappear into the gray mist underneath, which, according to what he had just learned, was actually the ruins of the destroyed bottom continent.

Since the destruction of the bottom continent’s structure and the infusion of the energy of heaven and earth from the top continent, great changes had taken place and made it unrecognizable.

All of its previous enormous inhabitants had been forced to leave, as it had become unfit to live in.

Meanwhile, was it a coincidence that all of the major powers in the Domain of the Falling Stars had found those six spatial rifts and entered this realm, or had they actually been lured here? All of the broken lands and floating boulders had been created when the top continent had exploded.

Why had those spatial rifts suddenly appeared in the Void Illusion Mountain Range in the Realm of Split Void?

Why were they the only ones that had seemed to enter this strange realm? Where were the outsider races that had evacuated from this realm in the first place?

He wondered whether there were still more profound secrets of this realm that he hadn’t uncovered yet.

A series of questions flashed across his mind. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became.

While he was carried away by his thoughts, the Lightning Shuttle flew up to the location where members of the Dong Clan and the Water Moon Chamber of Commerce were gathered.

Dong Tuodi and Qin Yi had already returned to the crowd after seeing them boarding their Lightning Shuttle and Rainbow Lightning and leaving the sinking continent.

Anticipation filling his eyes, Qin Yi asked, “Did you discover anything?”

He was still under the impression that Qin Yan had discovered something, which might have somehow caused the floating continent to shatter and the ward to go up.

Under his anticipating gaze, Qin Yan forced a smile and shook her head. “It wasn’t me.”

“Then who did?” Qin Yi asked.

Feng Ying shot a glance at Nie Tian and said in a low voice, “Mu Han did.”

The gaze of every member of the Dong Clan and the Water Moon Chamber of Commerce instantly converged on Nie Tian. Every one of them measured him up curiously.

Not many people present knew Nie Tian’s actual identity. Dong Tuodi, Dong Li, Dong Baijie, and Qin Yan were the only ones who did.

After a moment of awkward silence, Dong Tuodi cleared his throat and said breezily, “Alright, alright. Since Mu Han is with Qiqi, he must have come here on Master Zhen’s team. Plus, he’s friends with Little Li. Our clan will never try to take whatever fortune he’s obtained. You’ll give face to Master Zhen, right, Brother Qin?”
