Chapter 396: The Dual-Pupils Guy Is Dead? (3)

Therefore, after a moment of silence, he immediately stopped refining, put away his blood essence and magic power, and turned to look at Li Yu.

“You’re Li Yu!” Tai Ri said in a low voice.

Li Yu did not answer him and looked at him expressionlessly.

The system mission interface popped up in front of Li Yu.

Mission 1: Subduing Tai Ri

The notification showed that this person was related to the mission to rebuild the Heavenly Court.

The mission notification for collecting the Creation Jade Disc also indicated that one could obtain the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc by destroying the Gate of Fortune.

Mission 2: Defeat the demons and kill the Demon Emperor

Subduing Tai Ri?

Li Yu was slightly surprised. He did not expect this fellow to be related to the mission to rebuild the Heavenly Court. It seemed that he was also fated.

In that case, this person should not be heinous.

Otherwise, the system’s mission should be to eliminate him and not subdue him.

“Why do you want to refine this Gate of Fortune?” Li Yu asked instead of answering.

He was well aware that there must be a reason why Tai Ri was so obsessed with the Gate of Fortune back then. Even if it was a divine artifact, it should not make him an enemy of the entire Immortal World.

“To prevent another tragedy from happening, to release the soul of my lover!” Tai Ri replied.

Li Yu’s eyes flashed slightly. It seemed that there was indeed another version of the story.

His experience of surfing the Internet in his previous life told him that there might be an unknown side to any news and story.

Many seemingly true facts might only be one-sided information, and there might be a completely different version.

It was clearly the case in front of him.

“What do you mean?” Li Yu asked.

“The Sons of Destiny are a scam. They’re all sacrifices for the Gate of Fortune, sacrifices used to consolidate the seal’s power…” Tai Ri told Li Yu the truth he knew.

He did not know if Li Yu would believe him, or if he would deliberately hide the truth like those factions in the Immortal World back then.

However, with so many people here, he felt the need to tell the truth and let everyone know about this shocking scam.

Li Yu frowned when he heard Tai Ri’s words, and the surrounding people were shocked.

Tai Ri’s words were indeed too shocking and subverted their understanding.

In their opinion, the Sons of Destiny were the chosen ones who could rise up in the world and surpass the cycle of the Heavenly Dao and transcend the world.

However, he did not expect that those people were only sacrifices chosen by the Gate of Fortune to announce the power of the Demon God Well.

‘I knew it!’

Li Yu understood that what Murong Xingqiao said was probably true.

There was indeed something fishy about the Gate of Fortune and the Sons of Destiny.

“Hmph, we can’t listen to his side of the story!”

“That’s right, it’s all nonsense. Don’t think of fooling us with such nonsense!”

“It doesn’t matter if the Sons of Destiny are real or fake. Back then, you slaughtered the innocent and caused a calamity, causing countless lives to be plunged into misery and suffering. You killed and should pay with your life. Your death is not worth pitying!”

“That’s right, a life for a life!” Everyone shouted indignantly.

Tai Ri ignored the shouts of the crowd and looked at Li Yu as he continued, “Back then, the five large factions of the Ancient Immortal Realm controlled the Gate of Fortune and fabricated it as the Door of Everlasting Life. It was used to increase their influence and prestige, and they even used it as their money tree.”

“Back then, I exposed the truth and touched their interests. They tried to kill me and hide the truth, saying that I was a demon.”

“I fought all of them alone, and I could not explain myself. They had the final say, and the world treated me as a demon. However, I, Tai Ri, had never killed the innocent. Many things were fabricated by those large factions.”

“If I really wanted to start a massacre back then, I could have slaughtered the entire Immortal World alone.”

“However, I naturally can’t sit around and wait for death from those people who want me dead. Some of your various factions have indeed died in my hands in the past, but the main culprits were those few factions back then. They used your ancestors as pawns!”

“Shut up. Don’t twist the truth. We won’t believe your nonsense!”

“That’s right. Arrogant fellow, kill him and avenge our ancestors!”

“That’s right, kill him!” Everyone did not want to listen to Tai Ri’s explanation at all. Their preconceived notions had already made them treat him as a heinous criminal, so they were naturally unwilling to listen to his explanation.

“Shut up, all of you!” Li Yu suddenly shouted, and the scene was instantly silent.
