Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1472 The Twilight Hermit's Gathering

"Hmm?" Ye Qing looked at the big yellow dog!

The big yellow dog said, "No one knows how long this universe has existed, nor how life came into being!"

"I can't even remember how many years ago it was!" the big yellow dog said. "Silent Hill has always existed... This opening was once the reason why the strongest beings in the universe chose to guard the Chaotic Star Sea!"

"And in that era, the number of emperors was much greater than it is today," the big yellow dog said. "Moreover, advanced civilizations searched the world for geniuses and then did their utmost to cultivate them."

"In that era, there were more than a hundred emperors alone; it was nothing like the desolate state we see today," the big yellow dog murmured.

"Before that battle broke out, Yin cast a divination!" the big yellow dog said. "His divination result was that our universe had no chance of winning. So, he discussed with Jing and the others, and the result was that the Lord of Taixi and he would fake their deaths, seeking an opportunity to return in the future. Jing led a large number of Venerables, Saints, and Great Emperors... to fight the invaders to the death. Their goal was to block them and buy time to develop!"

"As you know, the Chaotic Star Sea collapsed, and the enemy was trapped in Silent Hill. Zu Long and Jing and the others sacrificed themselves to block the enemy in Silent Hill!" The big yellow dog said, "Of course, I don't know the specifics. When that battle broke out, our Heavenly Dog Clan was ordered by Zu Long to enter the Star Abyss!"

"After the war, I don't know why, but when I awoke from the ruins, I encountered the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon!" the big yellow dog said. "He bestowed upon me the name Haiyusil!"

"Hayusir?" Ye Qing asked in confusion, "Is it the same as that Nachiworth I have? What exactly is it?"

“This is the language of the ancient dragon race! Jiji mentioned it to you before. My Haiyu Sier means chess player or chess master!” said the big yellow dog.

“Nachworth means Swordholder!” said the big yellow dog.

"What exactly is this thing?" Ye Qing said speechlessly.

The big yellow dog said, "This is an organization created by Jing and Zulong in preparation for the next cosmic crisis! Zulong personally selected some people for this organization. Our original purpose was to maintain stability after the war and to prepare for the future!"

"Most of the people selected were talented individuals at the time," the big yellow dog said. "In Ancestral Dragon's vision, these people were also the backbone of the future universe. This organization is called the Twilight Hermit Society!"

"This organization is unaware of the existence of others, because in Yin's prophecy, when this war begins, the universe will fall into chaos and head in another direction. The purpose of the Twilight Hermits is to develop quietly and wait for the appearance of the Swordholder and the Tyrant!"

"Tyrant?" Ye Qing asked, his expression shifting.

The big yellow dog nodded and said, "The Twilight Hermit Society has five levels. The top level has only two people: the Swordholder and the Tyrant."

"On the next level, there are five people: the chess player, the provocateur, the wizard, the grim reaper, and the judge!"

This is equivalent to the management of the Twilight Hermits' Guild. From the third level onwards, they are all unified and called Knights!

The fourth level is called the Conspirators. Conspirators are mainly responsible for espionage, infiltration, and information gathering...

The fifth level is called the Sun, and their main purpose is to quietly develop their own power.

At this point, the big yellow dog paused and said, "People at every level have their own things to do! And when the Swordholder and the Tyrant become Emperors, they will reveal their identities and gather around them!"

Ye Qing's expression shifted, and he said, "According to your explanation, these things seem to have been predetermined back then. Why am I the one who wields the sword?"

“The methods of Zu Long and Jing are beyond our imagination. You were chosen after you entered Silent Hill, right?” the big yellow dog said.

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Right!"

"That's right!" the big yellow dog said. "So kid, just wait, when your identity is exposed, a lot of people will gather around you!"

"And what about you?" Ye Qing asked, "As a chess player, what is your main goal?"

"The chess player is naturally the one who wields the chess pieces!" the big yellow dog said. "Yin foresaw the great chaos that would ensue, and the chess player's goal is to restore order! My goal is to overthrow the Heavenly Court! However... things are far more complicated than I imagined, and I haven't been able to accomplish it all these years!"

"So after you discovered that I was the Chaos Dao Tree, you decided to place your hopes on me?" Ye Qing asked.

The big yellow dog didn't deny it. He nodded and said, "Before you, neither Tian Ge nor anyone else could do it. But fortunately, generation after generation, some things have been passed down. In fact, Tian Ge is the most promising person. Although he is just a Azure Dragon Divine Bone, his talent is even above yours."

At this point, the big yellow dog said, "Kid, actually, a lot of things are predetermined. Do you believe that?"

Ye Qing shook his head and said, "I don't believe in fate that much!"

"Alright!" the big yellow dog said, "That's about it. Now that you've become a Venerable, it's alright for you to know these things."

Ye Qing nodded and said, "I have a question. After so many years, won't those people die?"

The big yellow dog said, "Of course they will die, but their titles will be passed down. Anyone who possesses the ancient language of the Dragon Clan is definitely trustworthy, so don't worry about that!"

"So!" Ye Qing said, "that's why you trusted Su Liuyun's master so much back then?"

“Yes!” the big yellow dog nodded and said, “But he is at the fourth level, which is lower than you and me in terms of level.”

Ye Qing curled his lip and said, "The fourth level already has saints?"

"Twilight Hermits!" the big yellow dog said, "Their cultivation level cannot be determined by the level of the Twilight Hermit Society they belong to!"
