Chapter 912: What Is the Truth?

“Xueyu is your only daughter?”

Su Che was shocked, almost unable to believe it. He immediately said, “If that’s true, then by bringing Su Nianer into my world and handing Xueyu to me, aren’t you worried that I might kill them both without hesitation, not giving them a chance to meet?”

Not only this time, but during their time in the mortal world, Xueyu had also been trapped with him in the Devouring Sky Rat’s domain, facing numerous trials—it was a matter of life and death…

There were so many risks involved. Could it be that Yu Huangtian had accounted for everything, leaving no mistakes, ensuring his daughter wouldn’t die as a result?

“Su Che, I have been watching your growth all along. I know your character better than anyone else in this world.”

Yu Huangtian’s tone was deep, seemingly carrying some indescribable emotion. “No father in the world would care this much about his own son…”

He smiled slightly again. “Please don’t take offense—I was just using a metaphor.”

Su Che remained calm, unbothered.

In terms of age, he was already billions of years old, while Su Che was only thirty thousand years old. In terms of seniority, Yu Huangtian wasn’t really taking advantage of him.

That’s why, even if he fell into some scheme devised by Yu Huangtian, Su Che didn’t consider himself utterly foolish or incompetent. After all, Yu Huangtian had planned certain things for countless years, investing countless efforts and energy—something Su Che’s mere tens of thousands of years of experience couldn’t compare to.

Throughout Su Che’s life journey, there were various pawns hidden by Yu Huangtian. Losing to him, whether intentionally or not, wasn’t shameful. Of course, Su Che would never give up easily.

At least up to this moment, he hadn’t lost yet…

“I know you won’t kill them for no reason. You’ll surely give these ‘sisters’ a chance to meet.”

Yu Huangtian continued, “Besides, the Su Nianer and Xueyu you’ve seen aren’t the true forms of my daughters. Like Yu Qing, they are just reincarnated versions of their spirits. Even if they die, I have other ways to revive them… So, can you guess where their true forms are hidden?”

“Hidden where?”

Su Che frowned slightly, immediately guessing a possibility—the most terrifying one.

“That’s right. It seems you’ve already guessed it.”

Yu Huangtian nodded with a smile: “Xueyu’s true form has always been hidden within your Immortal Prison Pagoda. To be precise, she is the true spirit of this Chaos Treasure.”
“What?”
Even after hearing this fact firsthand, Su Che still found it hard to accept. He blurted out, “You actually transformed your own daughter into a spirit? Yu Huangtian, you’re really ruthless!”
Lao He, inside the Immortal Prison, roared at the heavens, “How is this possible? How can this be true? The Immortal Prison Pagoda—your consciousness is actually Yu Huangtian’s daughter? No! I don’t believe it! I simply won’t believe it!”
As the ruler of the first layer of the Immortal Prison, Lao He had always believed he was the main spirit of the pagoda. Although he had long known that the pagoda itself possessed certain spirituality and instincts and had communicated with it countless times, he never imagined that it was all part of a grand conspiracy.
In this scheme, the pagoda’s “own consciousness” turned out to be the deepest-hidden, most important, and core element of the entire conspiracy…
How could anyone accept such a truth?
At that moment, the woman formed from Su Nian’er and Xueyu ignored the sealing power of the Immortal Prison’s laws. With a mysterious smile on her face, she suddenly exploded into countless particles, vanishing without a trace.
Su Che and Lao He couldn’t stop her. They only realized that she wasn’t dead but had merged with the Immortal Prison in this way, returning to her true form.
Once she returned to her true form, would this deeply hidden spirit fully awaken and take control of the Immortal Prison Pagoda, seizing this Chaos Treasure from them?
Could that be the case?
Su Che wasn’t panicked or frightened. He simply stared at Yu Huangtian solemnly and said in a low voice, “You’ve gone to great lengths, devised countless schemes—all with the ultimate goal of possessing this Chaos Treasure, the Immortal Prison Pagoda, and creating your own universe in the Chaos Realm. Am I right?”
Yu Huangtian nodded with a smile, signaling for Su Che to continue.
Su Che asked again, “So, I’m just one of your chosen caretakers, someone who does the hard work. My so-called growth was merely to help you build up the inner world of the Immortal Prison Pagoda step by step, so that in the end, you could just reap the benefits. Is that it?”
“That’s a bit harsh to put it that way. If you insist on understanding it that way, it’s fine,” Yu Huangtian nodded once more.

“Well, I wonder, with so many beings in this universe, why were you chosen?” This was Su Che’s greatest question.
“Su Che, I know that the truths I’ve told you today will make it hard for you to accept at first.”
Yu Huangtian spoke softly, as if sighing: “But have you ever thought about who created this Immortal Universe?”
“What do you mean?”
Su Che’s expression changed noticeably, his eyes filled with surprise: “So, are you the original creator of this Immortal Universe?”
“Let’s just say, yes.” Yu Huangtian nodded gently. “The former me long ago perished. The so-called Yu Huangtian now is merely a reborn body created by the power of the Heavenly Dao using some remaining cells of ‘him.’ Its existence is incomplete. It was precisely because of the creation god’s demise that this universe began to decline, eventually attracting the attention of the Origin Demons.”
Every universe has a creator. After this journey through the Chaos Realm, Su Che understood many things related to it. He had often wondered: Who created this Immortal Universe? Where has that creation god gone?
Now, the answer had emerged: It was created by Yu Huangtian’s predecessor!
“I was once the creator of this universe, but unfortunately perished. And you are the one who killed me!”
At these words, Yu Huangtian laughed heartily, his laughter filled with utter desolation: “Back then, you came from the Great Chaos Realm, the strongest traveler among the chaos beings, already capable of creating a universe. Moreover, you were one of the luckier ones among countless chaos travelers—you even discovered the Immortal Prison Pagoda, a supreme treasure of chaos.”
“But the problem is, you weren’t the luckiest. Before you could fully master that treasure, you were targeted by other chaos powerhouses. After countless battles, exhausted and with no other choice, you hid in my universe, where I provided you with help and protection.”
“Together, we spent tens of millions of years using the power of the Heavenly Dao in this universe to lure those chaos powerhouses in and kill them one by one. You were saved and became even more powerful, but then turned your greedy eyes on me.”
“That’s because you knew that possessing just one supreme treasure wasn’t enough to create a universe. You understood that the total number of universes the chaos could sustain was fixed—one had to perish for a new one to be born.”

“You lack the patience to wait silently through countless ages of chaos, so you want to kill me and destroy this Immortal Spirit Universe, so that you can create your own brand-new universe on the ruins of this one.”
“Su Che, you succeeded—you managed to ambush me—but you still didn’t end up well. By borrowing the power of the universe’s natural law, I killed you as well before dying. Haha, mutual destruction! Su Che, did you not expect this? Countless years ago, you and I were mortal enemies destined to perish together!”
The rest is easy to guess: Back then, Yu Huangtian perished alongside Su Che, and the power of this world’s natural law used the remaining cells of Yu Huangtian to recreate him. However, he had to start cultivating from scratch again.
With the creator of the Immortal Spirit Universe dead, the universe entered a period of decline. To save itself, the universe’s natural law transformed that Chaos Supreme Treasure-level Immortal Prison Pagoda into its own offspring, hoping to extend its own existence through it.
But later, it was discovered that the revived Yu Huangtian was like a blank slate, lacking Chaos attributes. At most, he was just a true immortal who had grown up in this universe, unable to control that Chaos Supreme Treasure.
Chaos Law: Only a Chaos traveler with Chaos attributes can become the true master of a Chaos Supreme Treasure.
So, they had to use the remaining cells of the outsider “Su Che” to revive him as well and give it another try. Unexpectedly, his soul possessed the most primitive Chaos attributes.
At that time, the Immortal Prison Pagoda was still ownerless. Throughout the entire Immortal Spirit Universe, only that unforgivable outsider, “Su Che,” could become its true master.
Was this irony?
Thus, the power of the natural law erased Su Che’s memories of his past life, intending to use him to recreate a universe…
This was what Yu Huangtian wanted to convey, the truth he described. But these were just his side of the story. Would Su Che really believe it?
“No!”
Su Che shook his head firmly. “Of all the things you just said, I can only believe a small part of them. But by intuition alone, I’m sure this is definitely not the whole truth!”
To be precise, Su Che didn’t believe that his past self could be someone greedy, untrustworthy, and shameless enough to betray those who had saved him out of selfish desire.

Without any need for reason, Su Che was convinced that he was by no means such a despicable person! Neither in the past, now, nor in the future could he possibly be that kind of person.
Perhaps the truth was exactly the opposite—his past self was the creator of this universe and also its later victim. It was because of this that the laws of this universe placed the Immortal Prison Pagoda in his hands, allowing him to be revived and faced with two choices: either save the immortal universe he had created or create a brand new one.
In any case, Su Che could still sense that, so far, the forces of this universe’s laws still favored him.
If he were indeed the robber from the outer chaos described by Yu Huang Tian, that treacherous and despicable scoundrel, how could the universe’s laws still protect and care for him so much?
And as Yu Huang Tian himself had said, his soul had been corrupted by a powerful leader of the Origin Demons, causing him to fall into the path of darkness!
It was he who betrayed the laws of the universe and betrayed this world!
