"May I ask, Senior, how did you know Junior's previous life name?"
The Thunder God wasn't surprised. After all, he had directly pointed out the other person's past life name. For Chen Yi, this was the biggest secret hidden deep within his heart, if not the biggest.
"No need to panic, this Senior bears you no ill will." The Thunder God first appeased Chen Yi, then continued, "To be frank, the Thunder God you see before you has long since fallen. What remains is merely a wisp of undying obsession."
"Obsession?" And an undying obsession at that. Good heavens, how could such a grand thing appear in Douluo?
"There's no need to be surprised. As long as it is a World, the rules of its operation are largely similar. Although this Universe is not as high in status as other Worlds you know, it is still a World of supernatural power. Such an existence is not surprising."
After a moment of contemplation, the Thunder God used an explanation that Chen Yi, at his Realm, could understand.
Chen Yi nodded in understanding after hearing this. After all, it was a Universe capable of achieving immortality. Even if its combat power was average, it lacked nothing it should have.

"Junior has a few questions, and I don't know if I should ask them or not?" After a lot of unnecessary talk, it was time to get back on track.
"Just ask, there's no harm."
The Thunder God also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since his birth, he had always been responsible for battles. Apart from the brothers and sisters he grew up with, he rarely communicated with others. If Chen Yi hadn't asked, it would have likely become awkward.
"Junior's first question: Senior seems to know Junior extremely well. Furthermore, shouldn't foreign visitors like Junior be the ones you, as maintainers of this World, should be dealing with first? May Senior please enlighten me?"
Involving his biggest secret, Chen Yi naturally dared not be negligent.
Hearing this, the Thunder God's face lost its previous nonchalance, gaining a hint of solemnity. He slowly spoke, his voice carrying an interpretation of the World's rules: "To this World, outsiders like you are not naturally 'anomalies.' As long as you don't cause harm to the World, the World itself will not develop a sense of rejection—after all, these beings might bring new possibilities, and even push the World towards greater development."
"Therefore, as long as an outsider has not committed heinous crimes that shake the Foundation, we generally do not interfere proactively."
Chen Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. According to the Thunder God, outsiders like him, who hadn't caused major catastrophes to the World, would not be purged. So, his personal safety was not at risk.
"As for why I know you so well, the reason is simple: I have been residing in your spiritual sea all these years, never leaving," the Thunder God continued, disregarding Chen Yi's drastically changed expression. He paused, then added, "To be precise, ever since you arrived in this Universe, I have been here. Therefore, regarding your memories, whether I actively sought them or not, I would have had some contact."
As his voice fell, Chen Yi's expression turned extremely unsightly. No one would like to have someone constantly in their most important spiritual sea. What's more, the other party not only forcibly occupied his spiritual sea but also wantonly peeked into his privacy.
Truly, even an uncle could endure it, and an aunt… could also endure it.
There was no other way. A God King, and one renowned for his formidable lightning-element abilities, the absolute ceiling of Douluo combat power! This matter could just be endured and forgotten.
As if hearing Chen Yi's thoughts, the Thunder God on the opposite side chuckled and explained, "Don't worry, this Senior only looked through some of what you saw and heard in your previous life; I did not snoop into your privacy."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi's expression only just improved. Given the other party's status, if he said he didn't do it, then he certainly didn't. After all, powerful individuals all have their own pride.
"Besides, this Senior has long since fallen. What are you afraid of?"
Fallen. Even though Chen Yi had guessed this when the Thunder God mentioned obsession, hearing the words directly still made him tremble.
"Junior is very curious, with Senior's strength, he should have been unmatched in this Universe. How could he have fallen?"
When asked about his cause of death, the Thunder God did not shy away, laughing freely:
"Although this Senior considers his strength to be decent, it's not enough to be called unmatched. In this World, no one is truly invincible. Even the mighty Dragon God of yesteryear still met a somber end."
"Furthermore, in this vast starry sky, who knows how many unknown killing intents exist, and how many can avoid them?"
"Leaving aside everything else, take the Douluo plane you are currently in. Even if a Divine Official descends here, a slight carelessness could lead to the danger of falling."
That's true! Chen Yi thought about it. Even setting aside the Silver Dragon Fish, Emperor Tian and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King were probably only a God Position away from true Gods. An ordinary Divine Official descending to the Lower Realm, facing a full-power Dragon and Whale, would be lucky to escape with his life.
"Then how did Senior fall?" Seeing that the Thunder God was quite easy to talk to, Chen Yi also started to become less polite.
"Heh, this Senior left the God Realm to explore in his early years, and during an exploration of a dangerous place, he died from exhaustion."
The Thunder God's brief words sent shivers down Chen Yi's spine. Died from exhaustion? Not an accidental fall. What kind of dangerous place could make a God King die from exhaustion?
"No need to be surprised. When you reach my level in the future, you will know: the Universe is vast, and a God King is small."
Then, he looked at Chen Yi with gentle eyes: "Besides, I was able to Breakthrough to God King thanks to you, little fellow, wasn't I?"
"Ah, me?" Chen Yi pointed to himself in disbelief. I could help someone Breakthrough to God King? Am I that amazing?
Looking at Chen Yi's incredulous expression, the Thunder God couldn't help but chuckle. After a few seconds, he said:
"Back then, the Dragon God and I were among the strongest in the God Realm, beneath the God Kings. To catch a glimpse of the God King Realm, the Dragon God and I agreed to spar in the Forbidden Land, hoping to push through to God King under immense pressure."
"The result, as you might have guessed, was that the Dragon God was even more powerful. After the battle, he immediately Broke through to the God King Realm, becoming the sixth God King of the God Realm."
"Although I did not Breakthrough to God King, I successfully broke through the shackles of a Main God, condensed the eighth divine ring, and stepped into the Quasi-God King Realm. However, the life-and-death battle with the Dragon God had overdrawn my Origin, and even a Breakthrough to Quasi-God King only temporarily alleviated my injuries."
"To prolong my life and to go further, I decided to venture outside the Domain and seek Opportunity. Since my life at the time was entirely sustained by my God Position, the God Realm Committee could only allow me to leave with my God Position."
"At the end of my life, I stumbled into a spatial-temporal storm, hoping to find any Opportunities left by unfortunate souls from the past within it. But I didn't expect to overestimate my strength. The terrifying power unleashed deep within the spatial-temporal storm shattered my body, and only some remnants of my divine soul, wrapped around my God Position, tried to rush out."
"The outcome was predictable. Even in my prime, I would have struggled to achieve that, let alone with just a wisp of a remnant soul. Just as I was in despair, I sensed a lightning aura whose status was far above mine. I immediately resonated my God Position with it, and eventually, with the help of that power, I elevated the Thunder God Position to the God King level. With the strength of a God King, I finally managed to leave that place."
"A lightning aura whose status was far above yours?" Chen Yi's eyes were filled with confusion. According to the Thunder God, he was clearly the source of this aura. But Chen Yi couldn't figure out how he was related to lightning power!
The only thing related was probably the bolt of lightning that sent him over, but if that lightning was really that powerful, how could he still be alive?
The Thunder God did not answer, merely casting his gaze towards the lake in front of them.
Seeing this, Chen Yi immediately looked towards the lake and instantly spotted a colossal creature deep within it.
