When Ivan arrived at Emperor Greenbow's cave, Lilly and Blake were still in the Human Realm. He was being pursued by a mysterious person in a black robe, which forced him to leave Mount Cape and head to the Abyss of Ghosts.
Meanwhile, Lilly and Blake had just arrived at the cave. They had finished searching it and left before the mysterious person arrived.
It was fortunate that they missed each other, as Lilly was unaware of Ivan's visit to Emperor Greenbow's cave, and Ivan didn't know that they had already searched it.
They had a brief encounter during Christmas, but the conversation was limited. Lilly only asked about Ivan's cultivation level, discussing it without mentioning Mount Cape.
Upon hearing Queen Earthen's words, Lilly felt an indescribable sensation and asked, "Who are you?"
Queen Earthen carefully observed Ivan, placing her palm on the ground to sense his presence.
If my guess is correct, his blood must have dripped into the ground of Mount Everest.
I am sure the blood belongs to Emperor Greenbow. Also, this aura coincides with the young boy in front of me.
So, Ivan is Emperor Greenbow!
Queen Earthen smiled ambiguously and muttered, "Everything has changed. It's impressive, giving up all cultivation just like that..."
However, she had to admit that Ivan seemed more vital than before. Although he hadn't yet reached his previous cultivation level, Queen Earthen sensed an underlying strength in him that hinted at even greater achievements in the future.
Have I been guarding the remnant for three thousand years in vain? The thought haunted her, and she fell silent, her lips pursed in contemplation.
Lilly was intrigued and asked, "Ivan, what's your true identity?"
Ivan replied calmly, "Just a humble one."
Queen Earthen chuckled. "Huh? A humble one? If King Earthid or that black-robed rat hears this, he'll be furious." She continued, "Didn't we agree just a few days ago that we would search for Emperor Greenbow?"
The Queen Earthen raised her hand, summoning a green iron chain out of thin air. She shook it, triggering Lilly's memory.
Queen Earthen had previously mentioned going to the Nether to unlock the chain, and only Emperor Greenbow could open the Nether Door.
"So, you are..." Lilly stared at Ivan in astonishment.
Ivan stayed composed, but his eyes showed a hint of darkness as he thought about something.
So? Has she discovered my true identity earlier?
She's impressive! I only found out my true identity later!
Lilly continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you are Emperor Greenbow, right?"
Ivan nodded, his lips curling up slightly. "Yes."
Lilly's eyes shimmered with surprise as everything suddenly made sense. She recalled the scene when she had first seen Ivan, covered in blood, and had carried him out.
She thought, Oh. That's when Ivan encounters the anomalies and sets off on this path.
