In order to figure out why Sang Yan appeared in my dream, Yi Jianghan asked for my birthdate and began deducing with the Eight Trigrams.

According to him, deducing with the Eight Trigrams is equivalent to questioning the will of heaven. If the situation wasn't urgent and suspicious, he wouldn't have used this method.

However, even after deducing three times, the trigram chart remained blank.

Even I, who couldn't understand it, knew that something was wrong.

Yi Jianghan's expression became solemn.

"Someone has sealed your existence, even the will of heaven cannot answer."

Why would someone seal my existence?

He was as puzzled as I was.

To completely seal a person's existence, even in the heavenly court, only a few immortals can achieve that.

But if it's them, why would they pay attention to a mere mortal?

Unless my existence has touched upon some secrets.

He hesitated, unsure whether he should involve me in more complicated matters.

But I was determined.

"Investigate, why not investigate."

I was just one step away from the truth. How could I continue to remain in the dark?

Some people say ignorance is bliss, but I prefer to live with clarity.

He chuckled softly and took out a jade hairpin from his pocket, pricking my index finger with it, causing a few drops of blood to fall onto the trigram chart.

"Then investigate, I also prefer to live with clarity."

A strong golden light burst forth from the trigram chart, and it began to rotate.

Almost in the instant the golden light burst forth, Yi Jianghan's face darkened, revealing a grave expression.

He stared at the trigram chart for a long time, then finally looked at me, his eyes filled with pity.

"So, you're the descendant of the ancient god Tai Feng. It seems that this war is inevitable."

Tai Feng was an ancient benevolent god who could shake the qi of heaven and earth.

But his descendants were hunted down and exterminated by the entire heavenly realm, never meeting a good end.

From his words, I heard the reasons why the Tai Feng lineage had been relentlessly pursued for hundreds of years.

The incident originated several hundred years ago.

At that time, a group of immortals in the heavenly court believed that mortals were becoming increasingly disrespectful to the divine and that changes needed to be made.

They hoped to use the power of the Green Lotus Lamp to reverse the order of heaven and earth, periodically swapping the mortal realm with the underworld.

After each swap, the souls in the underworld would revive, possessing eternal life.

The mortal realm would become a hell, and living beings would await the next cycle in endless darkness.

Whoever controlled the Green Lotus Lamp would control the cycle of life and death for all things in the world. They would break free from the constraints of the heavens and become the supreme god beyond the Three Realms.

To prevent the suffering of mortals, the benevolent god Tai Feng took away the Primordial Holy Fire from the Green Lotus Lamp and integrated it into his own bloodline, preserving a few hundred years of vitality for the mortal realm.

But with Tai Feng's demise, the immortals who sought to overturn the mortal realm were born again.

In order to find the Primordial Holy Fire, they relentlessly pursued the descendants of Tai Feng.

On the other hand, the immortals who opposed this plan discovered that by killing the descendants of Tai Feng, they could prevent the destruction of the mortal realm and accrue great merit.

Thus, they also began to hunt down the descendants of Tai Feng, hoping to stop the rekindling of the Green Lotus Lamp.

It was a massacre aimed at the Primordial Holy Fire, carried out under the banner of protecting sentient beings, but the result was the extinction of the Tai Feng bloodline.

But now, the trigram chart revealed that the last descendant of Tai Feng had been born once again.

It wouldn't be long before this news spread throughout the Three Realms, and countless immortals would come knocking at my door.

Some would seek to kill me and offer me as a sacrifice to the heavens, seizing the Primordial Holy Fire within my bloodline to reignite the Green Lotus Lamp.

Others would seek to sever the Tai Feng bloodline completely, eradicating any traces of its existence.

Either way, my life was about to become a battlefield.

Yi Jianghan sighed deeply, his eyes filled with remorse.

"I'm sorry, but I have inadvertently implicated you in this conflict. If I had known earlier, I would have never awakened your bloodline."

I shook my head and looked at him resolutely.

"You didn't do anything wrong. It's not your fault that I was born with this bloodline. Besides, now that the truth is out, I have no choice but to face it."

Yi Jianghan's eyes glimmered with admiration.

"You have a strong spirit. I believe that you will be able to overcome the challenges that lie ahead. I will do everything in my power to protect you, but ultimately, it is up to you to decide your own path."

I nodded, understanding the weight of his words.

From that moment on, my life would never be the same.

I would have to confront the immortals, navigate the treacherous politics of the heavenly court, and protect the Primordial Holy Fire within me.

The war for the Green Lotus Lamp had begun, and I, as the last descendant of Tai Feng, would be at the center of it all.

But I was determined to fight for my existence, to defy the heavens if necessary.

The journey ahead would be perilous, but I was ready to face it.
