Supreme Devouring God

When Qin Chen first met the Ancient Star Summoning King.

The Ancient Star Summoning King was controlled by the seal of the Star Spirit within the Star Summoning Ancient Realm, extremely thin, resembling a dried corpse.

More than a year later, the Ancient Star Summoning King had already transformed.

Not only was his complexion rosy, but his body was also much stronger, exuding a vigorous aura.

Even Qin Chen found it difficult to see through.

There was only one possibility.

That the Ancient Star Summoning King was stronger than Qin Chen.

Qin Chen was slightly surprised; it seemed the Ancient Star Summoning King indeed deserved to be a powerhouse from the Star Summoning Dynasty era.

Upon hearing Qin Chen’s voice, the Ancient Star Summoning King opened his eyes.

Seeing it was Qin Chen, he smiled warmly: ”So it’s you. What brings you to the Star Summoning Ancient Realm to see me?”

Qin Chen smiled and said: ”I wanted to see you, so I came to visit.”

The Ancient Star Summoning King chuckled, then suddenly sharpened his gaze: ”Did you kill someone before coming here?”

He was evidently able to smell the scent of blood on Qin Chen.

Qin Chen did not avoid or hide: ”Great insight, I killed the Star Emperor of the Great Star Dynasty. Now, the Great Star Dynasty no longer exists and has been renamed Great Origin.”

The Ancient Star Summoning King was shocked and then, after scanning Qin Chen from head to toe, exclaimed: ”How long has it been and you’re already this strong?”

”Nowadays, any Martial Artist below the Daoist King realm would find it difficult to kill you, wouldn’t they?”

Qin Chen smiled: ”If they are at the Peak Tribulation Transformation Realm, they might have a chance to kill me using certain methods.”

It’s merely a chance.

The opponent has methods, but how could Qin Chen not have his own?

On the contrary, he has many more methods than the average person.

The Ancient Star Summoning King asked: ”Tell me, why have you come to me today?”

Qin Chen said: ”I want to ask if you know the hidden story behind the division of the Star Summoning Dynasty into seven, forming the current Star Summoning Seven Dynasties?”

The Ancient Star Summoning King was somewhat surprised: ”I suppose you heard this from the Star Emperor, didn’t you?”

Qin Chen said: ”Nothing escapes your insight.”

With a reminiscent look, the Ancient Star Summoning King said: ”You are indeed clever to come to me for answers. I’m afraid there’s no one in this world who knows more about it than I do.”

It seemed that Qin Chen’s words had awakened many dusty memories, causing the Ancient Star Summoning King to sigh.

Qin Chen was not in a hurry, waiting for the Ancient Star Summoning King to speak slowly.

The Ancient Star Summoning King said: ”Back then, how powerful was our Star Summoning Dynasty? We rivaled the Saint Green Dynasty and Beiming Dynasty, forming a tripartite stand. All the dynasties in Qian State had to bow to us.”

”Unfortunately, the greed and desire of human nature are the chief culprits of destruction.”

Qin Chen raised an eyebrow: ”So, the division of the Star Summoning Dynasty into seven wasn’t because of internal conflict?”

The Ancient Star Summoning King said: ”Internal conflict was only a small part of the reason. The main reason was the sudden death of the emperor at the time, leading to a power vacuum, which triggered the subsequent chaos.”

”As a result, a vast large dynasty ultimately divided into seven, forming the current Star Summoning Seven Dynasties, significantly weaker than before.”

”Sudden death? Could it be an assassination?” Qin Chen speculated.

The Ancient Star Summoning King shook his head: ”Certainly not possible. You may not understand how powerful a large dynasty truly is.”

”The Great Star Dynasty is merely a medium dynasty, just one rank below a large dynasty, but the overall gap is as wide as heaven and earth.”

”To kill the ruler of a large dynasty, unless they are besieged, no one in Qian State could accomplish it.”

Qin Chen felt this was reasonable.

Just like trying to kill Dream Saber Lord or Extreme Origin Dao Master, regardless of their status, who could easily do so given their strength?

”Then how did the Summoning Star Emperor die at that time?” Qin Chen frowned.

If he was ill, the Ancient Star Summoning King certainly wouldn’t say he died suddenly, and it wasn’t assassination, he couldn’t just die mysteriously, could he?

The Ancient Star Summoning King said: ”It was all because of human desires.”

”Back then, within the Star Summoning Dynasty, a mysterious ’Star Cave’ suddenly appeared.”

”The Star Cave emerged mysteriously, rumored to hold great secrets.”

”This mysterious Star Cave successfully attracted the emperor’s attention. But given the emperor’s special status, to avoid causing a big stir, he secretly went to the Star Cave, wanting to explore its secrets.”

”But the final outcome was that the emperor never returned.”

”Half a month later, chaos erupted within the Star Summoning Dynasty as various Prime Ministers, Princes, and Imperial Concubines seized territories and resources, leading to the dynasty’s collapse.”

Only then did Qin Chen understand.

The death was too sudden!

No one could have foreseen it.

Probably not even the Summoning Star Emperor himself could have predicted it.

The political scheming within the royal family was inherently complex, but as long as there was someone leading, things wouldn’t descend into chaos on the surface.

But once the leader fell, naturally strife would arise.

After all, the Star Summoning Dynasty was a large dynasty. Such a big cake, even if the dynasty did not have internal conflicts, outsiders wouldn’t just watch idly, right?

”Do you know of the Queen of Moon Summoning?”

The Ancient Star Summoning King suddenly asked.

Qin Chen shook his head: ”I am unaware.”

”She and I were both orphans picked up by the emperor. We grew up together, ultimately pledging to help the emperor stabilize the dynasty.”

”But with chaos everywhere, we couldn’t suppress it.”

”One day, I received news that she had died, and to this day, I don’t know who killed her. I was forced to flee into the Star Summoning Ancient Realm and have been here ever since.”

Qin Chen felt empathetic.

Two people companion for a lifetime, and yet the Queen of Moon Summoning died, how painful must that have been?

”Please accept my condolences, the situation was indeed beyond control,” Qin Chen said.

The Ancient Star Summoning King said: ”I know that, but I just want to find out how she really died back then, and who killed her.”

”Though she’s dead, can the revenge not be exacted?!”

At this point, the Ancient Star Summoning King’s eyes suddenly turned red.

Qin Chen said: ”You mentioned if I came to you with a request, I must promise you one thing. If you trust me, I will do my utmost to seek the truth.”

The Ancient Star Summoning King shook his head: ”You merely asked me some questions; I didn’t assist you. You don’t need to promise me anything about it.”

”Having recuperated in the Star Summoning Ancient Realm for quite a while now, I intend to find the truth on my own.”

Qin Chen said: ”Does this mean you have some information?”

The Ancient Star Summoning King said: ”Yes, she had a sword called ’Moon Summoning Sword.’ It is a sentient sword. If we find the Moon Summoning Sword, we might uncover how she died.”

”It was just that when I learned of this, I didn’t search for it because the Moon Summoning Sword had already made its way into the Saint Green Dynasty.”

”At that time, I was too heavily injured and had no choice but to flee into the Star Summoning Ancient Realm. I intended to heal and then head to the Saint Green Dynasty, but fell under the control of the Star Spirit, delaying things until now.”
