Chapter 239: Reflections
"The Blood Star... is gone!"
"It's gone!"
In the Southern Land of the Mundane Heart World, all the ancient deities and common folk alike looked up at the sky.
At the massive rift, the enormous Blood Sun that once dominated the sky had vanished without a trace.
What did this signify? The common folk didn't understand, but the ancient deities knew all too well.
An elderly man, tears and snot streaming down his face, cried out, "The Evil Deity... is gone!"
For countless years, the Evil Deity had wreaked havoc in the Mundane Heart World, a being above True Deities...
Was gone.
He couldn't help but recall the recent past when the sky tore open, and a being above True Deities roared in anger.
The Origin Venerable from the Northern Region, clad in a blood-red robe, stepped into the rift.
Five thousand divine beings followed in his wake, vowing to slay the Evil Deity!
When they saw a glimpse of the being above True Deity's eyes, the ancient deities of the Mundane Heart World understood.
This battle was an impossible victory.
The power of the being above True Deity exceeded their imagination.
Its body was larger than the entire Mundane Heart World.
Born and raised in the Mundane Heart World, the ancient deities had access to vast resources, yet they couldn't compare to even a fraction of the being above True Deity.
The battle was destined to end in defeat.
But now...
The Blood Sun, which had shone over the Mundane Heart World for countless ages, had disappeared without a trace.
The Mundane Heart World had won.
The Origin Venerable had won.
But...
"The Li Shan Sovereign... has fallen."
"The White Xi Venerable... is gone!"
The white-bearded elder's figure flashed into a cave dwelling, and upon seeing the thirty lanterns hanging inside the house all extinguished, his heart ached with sorrow.
The ancient deity who had gone to the Northern Region left a trace of his aura on the life lanterns.
With the flames in the lanterns extinguished, it meant they had perished beyond the rift.
The white-bearded elder looked up at the sky, hoping to see the ancient deities falling like shooting stars.
But it was not meant to be.
At this moment, in Flying Desolation City, Huang Mengling, the daughter of the city lord, sighed.
She couldn't help but recall her first encounter with that strange ancient deity.
He was feasting.
She invited him to leave Qing Shui Village, offering to escort him to the city and even recommending him to the Ancient Deity Alliance.
That peculiar ancient deity declined, acting in a mad and eccentric manner.
But who would've known he could...
The memories of the past lingered in her mind, like a dream.
Just then, a weak voice sounded in Huang Mengling's ear.
"My injuries have healed by three-tenths, has the Flying Spirit Mansion dispatched the Evil Deity?"
The voice belonged to the injured and sleeping Ancient Deity Yuan.
Initially, when Flying Desolation City was in peril, she had awakened, only to quickly fall back into slumber.
Even while healing, she remained worried about the situation in Flying Desolation City.
The Origin Venerable's slaying of the invading Evil Deity would undoubtedly provoke a retaliation."
Upon hearing Ancient Deity Yuan's words, Huang Mengling was taken aback.
She didn't know how to respond to this question.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke, "The Evil Deity... is gone."
"Gone?" Ancient Deity Yuan's voice carried a hint of confusion and disbelief.
Suddenly, she looked up at the sky, her eyes filled with emotion, and then she was startled.
In her ear, Huang Mengling's voice carried a hint of melancholy.
"Yesterday, the Origin Venerable took a few village ancient deities to confront the being above True Deity... They left the rift and never returned."
...
The night was hazy, and the Ancient Clan's ancestral ground was silent and empty.
It wasn't the time for the ancestral ground to open, and yet, it was deserted, not a soul in sight.
Just then, a flash of blood-red light appeared, and Qi Yuan's figure emerged in the ancestral ground.
He felt neither sorrow nor joy, gazing upon the ancestral ground.
"As expected of the ancestral ground, even in my current state, I sense a powerful danger."
Within the ancestral ground, countless puppet deities lay dormant.
Qi Yuan, in his current state, was neither a Yang Deity nor not.
In his battles with the Blood Sun Great Saint and the Blood God Bodhisattva, he had relied on clever tactics.
These two had coveted the Mundane Heart World for a long time, absorbing too much primordial energy, which was why Qi Yuan's All Are Me technique had immobilized them, leading to their eventual demise.
But this immobilization wasn't permanent.
Turning them into puppets was an impossible thought.
The Thunder God Grand Venerable and Zhu Zhuangshi, along with their followers, used the Evil Deity's assimilation technique, willingly becoming Qi Yuan's "All Are Me".
This was the true meaning of "All Are Me".
Primordial beings represented infinite possibilities.
In the Canglan Realm, even if ordinary Yin Deities united under Qi Yuan, they couldn't become his "All Are Me".
"All Are Me" was, in fact, a rule, limited to the Mundane Heart World's rules.
If it were a universal rule, applicable across countless universes, then... it wouldn't be an ordinary rule.
Qi Yuan's gaze swept across the ancestral ground, his expression deep and mysterious.
His figure turned, and he arrived at an empty space.
Here, there once stood a towering tower, but now... it was gone.
"The aura here... feels familiar."
The vanished tower evoked a sense of familiarity in Qi Yuan.
"The Deity Observation Technique?"
Qi Yuan muttered, beginning to understand.
At his current cultivation level and understanding, the law of conservation of energy still applied.
The Deity Observation Technique that appeared out of thin air consumed the energy of some special towers within the ancestral ground.
"The civilization of this ancestral ground is impressive, I wonder... if it's from this universe..."
Qi Yuan reflected.
He lingered in the ancestral ground for a moment before his figure vanished.
"Why hasn't my mission to protect Qing Shui Village... received a completion notification?"
The night remained hazy.
At this moment, Qing Shui Village was especially quiet.
However, outside the village, numerous ancient deities had gathered.
These ancient deities, most with reverent expressions, gazed upon Qing Shui Village as if on a pilgrimage.
"A village that produced Great Venerables, Qing Shui Village deserves to be the sacred land of the Mundane Heart World."
"Alas, they won't return to see this."
Some lamented, their sorrow overwhelming.
But at this moment, two ancient deities with pointed noses and monkey-like cheeks were secretly communicating through divine sound.
"Origin Heavenly Venerable is so powerful, there must be a secret in Qing Shui Village!" One of the ancient deities' eyes lit up, and his body trembled slightly, "Wang Can, your divine realm is the best for stealth. With so many ancient deities here, if you open your divine realm, the two of us can sneak into Qing Shui Village and split the gains fifty-fifty!"
Wang Can hesitated, "Origin Heavenly Venerable just saved Tian Qing, and our actions might be... inappropriate."
"Gratitude is gratitude, and benefits are benefits... The opportunity in Qing Shui Village is a waste if not seized. It's better for us to take advantage of it!" The man's eyes gleamed with greed.
"But... if our actions are discovered, we might not even have a place to stand in the Mundane Heart World!"
"Hmph, we're communicating through divine sound, what's there to fear? No one can know our plans."
"6◇9◇Book◇Bar"
"If we secretly obtain the opportunity in Qing Shui Village and are discovered, so what? We might become the second Origin Heavenly Venerable, and what are those ancient deities compared to that? Even if Origin Heavenly Venerable is reincarnated, what does it matter?" The man said excitedly.
If it weren't for the uniqueness of Wang Can's divine realm, he wouldn't have cooperated and would have preferred to sneak in alone.
A flash of greed passed through Wang Can's eyes, and he made his decision, "Let's do it!"
As the two communicated in secret, they suddenly stopped their conversation.
Near Wang Can, there was a slender woman holding a fox in her arms.
Her body trembled slightly, and goosebumps appeared on her skin beneath the brown skirt.
Wang Can's gaze changed abruptly as his divine realm quietly expanded at this moment.
He stared at the fox in the woman's arms—his Heart Fox!
His Heart Fox could hear the cultivators' divine communication!
"Zhao Qingyu, what did you hear?" Wang Can's divine realm expanded, and his eyes hid murderous intent.
Zhao Qingyu trembled, tightly holding onto her Heart Fox, "Senior, I didn't hear anything."
At this moment, she was both afraid and angry, only thinking of escaping.
"Is that so?" Wang Can chuckled, "Seems like a misunderstanding."
However, his divine realm didn't relax.
Apparently, he had decided to keep Zhao Qingyu here.
Just then, a voice abruptly sounded.
"No wonder my mission isn't complete yet. It turns out... someone else has their eyes on my Qing Shui Village."
With the voice, a figure in a blood-red robe appeared.
The man had long hair and a handsome face, resembling a demonic deity descended from the heavens.
Wang Can and the ancient deity were stunned.
They were incredibly shocked.
"Origin Heavenly Venerable!"
It was Origin Heavenly Venerable, and he was still alive!
Zhao Qingyu's body trembled, and her eyes shone with intense light.
She wanted to tell Origin Heavenly Venerable about the divine communication she had overheard, but she couldn't speak.
Just then, a blood-red shadow flashed by.
"Don't think that whispering bad things about me will go unheard."
Wang Can and the nearby ancient deity stared with wide eyes.
A blood-red aura rushed into their divine realms, and their divine realms, fragile as thin paper, shattered without resistance.
The powerful divine realms, seemingly defenseless, were breached.
Terror filled their hearts, and the aura of death swept through, their bodies fell, and they died without knowing why Origin Heavenly Venerable knew... of their plans.
Clearly, they had communicated through divine sound, and clearly, Zhao Qingyu had also been controlled.
Wang Can perished, and the pressure on Zhao Qingyu's body suddenly vanished. She looked at Qi Yuan and bowed solemnly, "Thank you, Heavenly Venerable, for saving my life!"
At this moment, streams of radiant light flashed as the ancient deities near Qing Shui Village had discovered the anomaly.
Upon seeing Qi Yuan, they were either shocked or excited.
Origin Heavenly Venerable... was still alive!
"Pay respects to Origin Heavenly Venerable!"
"Pay respects to Heavenly Venerable!"
Near Qing Shui Village, there were ten ancient deities, and they gathered around Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan glanced at them indifferently.
At this time, an old man stepped forward, hunched over, "Dare I ask Heavenly Venerable, what of the evil deities?"
The absence of the Blood Sun represented the fall of those above True Deities.
But without witnessing it themselves, they couldn't rest easy.
"They're dead." Qi Yuan replied calmly.
The ancient deities on the field heard this news, and the weight lifted from their hearts, and Qi Yuan spoke.
"Qing Shui Village is my territory. Outsiders are forbidden from entering."
The other ancient deities listened without much reaction, still immersed in the fall of the evil deities.
At this time, Qi Yuan thought of something, "Before, I promised to host a feast in some cities, but unfortunately, I never went back."
These ancient deities heard this, and many were delighted.
Zhao Qingyu hurriedly stepped forward, "To serve Heavenly Venerable is this girl's honor!"
Heavenly Venerable was still alive.
In this world... who else could be revered?
"I'm counting on you."
After Qi Yuan finished speaking, he waved his hand.
"Please return, everyone."
His figure also disappeared, entering Qing Shui Village.
The original land.
The quiet Qing Shui Village was no different from an ordinary village.
The crops in the fields were thriving.
"Since Qing Shui Village is my responsibility, I'll take it with me."
"I am Qing Shui Village, and Qing Shui Village is me!"
As Qi Yuan spoke, the village underwent a unique transformation.
Stones, bricks, mud, soil, trees, spirit rice... all became ethereal, and Qi Yuan pulled them into his divine realm.
Qi Yuan's face paled for a moment, then instantly returned to normal.
The game's prompt sounded at this moment.
