"Tin Man?"

Chen Xiao was suddenly stunned. Looking at the other party's attire, it was clear that he was the legendary Tin Man.

He didn't expect this Dragon King to be a member of the Tin Man's group.

Moreover, this Tin Man was hidden right in front of him, and he hadn't even noticed.

A look of shock appeared in Chen Xiao's eyes.

"Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you. I've admired you for a long time. We've finally met today."

A muffled voice came from inside the Tin Man's suit.

"Hehe, Your Excellency Tin Man, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Chen Xiao cupped his fist towards the other party, offering a perfunctory greeting.

"May I ask what brings you here today?"

With a wave of the Tin Man's hand, the Dragon King, who had been smiling beside him, suddenly began to dissipate, his body slowly disintegrating, turning into wisps of smoke, and finally returning to nothingness.

Even until the very last moment, he maintained a smiling expression on his face.

The same scene occurred to the car they were riding in, to every plant and tree outside the car, and to all the buildings and streets.

In short, the world around Chen Xiao was plunged into nothingness.

Across from him, the Tin Man remained seated as steady as Mount Tai, while everything else had disappeared.

Chen Xiao frowned slightly. He couldn't quite tell if this was real or an illusion.

"Mr. Chen, don't be nervous. I've simply brought you into a crack in time. The outside world hasn't changed at all."

The muffled voice came again, as the Tin Man offered an explanation.

Chen Xiao said nothing, looking at the Tin Man with a playful expression, waiting for him to continue.

"Mr. Chen, I know you're curious about my identity, and you're also curious about your own identity. Today, I will reveal all the answers."

"Including all the truths about this world that you don't know!"

With one sentence, the Tin Man instantly drew Chen Xiao into something grand.

Chen Xiao didn't even know how to respond.

But undeniably, he was indeed very interested in the things the Tin Man was talking about.

The Tin Man didn't wait for Chen Xiao to respond, he continued on his own: "Let's start with my identity."

"Perhaps you've heard people say that I'm a Celestial Being. That's correct, but not entirely accurate."

"I am indeed a Celestial Being, but not the kind of Celestial Being you think I am."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao interrupted: "I have indeed heard people mention that you're just a member of the Celestial Realm who was rejected by the Heavenly Dao. Isn't that right?"

"What he said is completely wrong."

The Tin Man said calmly, "I'm not a member of those Celestial Beings, nor was I rejected. Rather, I was driven out, because in the beginning, the entire Celestial Realm belonged to me."

"To be precise, back then, I didn't even have an 'I' consciousness. It was only after those Celestial Beings seized the Celestial Realm that the oppression and unwillingness I felt created this 'I'."

The Tin Man's words left Chen Xiao feeling lost in the clouds, becoming more confused the more he listened: "Who exactly are you?"

"I'm not a person. If you must ask for my name, you can call me Heavenly Father."

The Tin Man said softly.

"Heavenly Father?"

Chen Xiao repeated the term. He suddenly thought of the Earth Mother Dragon Vein Diagram.

Could it be that this Heavenly Father corresponds to that Earth Mother?
