ATG: God of Shadows

Looking at Jasmine who was on her knees in front of him, Alex felt satisfied with his decision to pursue the Soul Cultivation path.

He had already sensed the remnant souls of the Divine Beasts that had left their legacies on Blue Pole Star.

With his current Soul Cultivation, he could easily suppress and destroy those remnant souls. This is why he was confident enough to face Jasmine right now. As no matter how powerful the soul of a Divine Master Realm cultivator can be, it will never surpass even a remnant soul of a True God-level being.

And since Alex could suppress them, it was no difficult task for him to be able to suppress her.

This was the power of possessing Soul cultivation. But the only reason that Alex was this powerful was because there weren't any other Soul cultivators in the Primal Chaos.

He was currently like an Alien from a planet who could absorb sunlight to become stronger and become a God amongst the humans, plus there wasn't any green crystal here to nerf him down.

Basically, if others also practiced soul cultivation, then the effects would not have been so farfetched as they are right now.

As being special in a crowd of normal people made you shine out, but being special among the people who have the same abilities as you ain't that special.

Alex then spoke while looking at Yun Che while keeping Jasmine on the ground. Yun Che was dumfounded at the scene that was unfolding in front of him.

His new master who was said to possess the strength above the Sovereign Profound Realm was being suppressed by a mere Emperor Realm Cultivator. Moreover, he was around the same age as him!

Alex looked unbothered by this and spoke, "As I was saying, My name is Alex and as you know, I am the one who provided resources to your grandfather to cancel the marriage between you and Qingyue."

Yun Che gritted his teeth but did not do anything as he knew that he was powerless to do anything right now and even his master was suppressed by him.

Alex continued to speak, "I and your grandfather had a deal. But now that he is dead, the deal is off. I had said that I would take your aunt as my disciple, but she is not worthy of that."

"There was one more thing, but before knowing that, you should know about your true origins."

Yun Che had a confused look on his face and asked, "My origins?"

Alex nodded and continued, "You may think that you are the biological grandson of Xiao Lie and the son of Xiao Ying, but that is a lie."

Yun Che's expression turned pale on hearing this. Even he himself had some doubts about this as his facial features did not match with neither Xiao Lie nor Xiao Lingxi, nor did they match with the portraits of Xiao Ying and his wife.

But, even so, he instinctively retorted and said, "Hmph! This must be one of your schemes! I was born and brought up in the Floating Cloud City and all my memories and experiences till now have no mentions of anything like this!"

Alex said, "Indeed, but that is because you were brought here mere days after you were born."

Yun Che just frowned, clearly not believing Alex.

Alex did not care as he spoke, "You do not have to believe my words. I will tell you how you can verify my words later on. But, for now, just listen."

Yun Che just nodded.

Alex spoke once again, "You were not the biological son of Xiao Ying. In his youth, Xiao Ying made friends with a couple and later came to know that the couple was from another continent. The people of that continent were believed to be the enemies of the Profound Sky Continent."

"Xiao Ying came to know about this and found out that they were being hunted by the Sacred grounds. Yet, he chose to help them. The wife among the couple was pregnant and when she gave birth, she was worried about the survival of the child as they were not sure about their survival, but Xiao Ying wanted the child to survive, so he exchanged the child with his own newly born child without telling anyone except Xiao Lie."

"The couple was also unaware about this and left. Later on, the Sacred Grounds found Xiao Ying's involvement and killed him."

"Your grandfather knew about this and the third compensation I had offered him was bringing back his biological grandson to meet him."

Yun Che digested all of this and asked a question after hearing the last part, 

"Bring him back? You mean that they survived back then? Where are they right now?"

Alex nodded, "They had indeed survived back then and went back to their home continent, the Illusory Demon Realm. The child has also grown up and is about the same age as you."

"To verify your origins, you have to go to the Heavenly Sword Villa. Your biological Grandfather is trapped there inside the Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation and is labeled as a demon."

"His name is Yun Canghai, he was the previous head of the Yun family from the Illusory Demon Realm and the right hand man of the previous ruler of the Illusory Demon Realm. Right now, your father is the clan head."

"You will figure everything out once you reach there."

Yun Che nodded in understanding, he needed to verify everything on his own.

Alex, seeing that Yun Che had at least wanted to investigate his words and did not outright deny anything this time was satisfied.

He needed this tool for some time and he wanted to skip the usual adventure shit from his journey and for that he needed to tell him about exactly what he needed to do.

"Now that we are done exploring your origins, let's talk about something else."

A smirk appeared on Alex's face as he continued,

"Something interesting...like the fact that you just became the successor of the Heretic God?"

Alex's words sent shivers to both Yun Che's and Jasmine's spines!

Yun Che looked at Alex with deep fear in his eyes, meanwhile, Jasmine who was still pressed on the ground unable to even speak, trembled more violently!
