Chapter 620: The Salvation of Nothingness
Chapter 620: The Salvation of Nothingness
"Do the deities and spirits fight for the hearts of the Heavenly Beings?" Li Xuandao furrowed his brows and asked.
Gu An poured himself a drink and said, "Perhaps. When faced with the strife between deities and spirits, what do you think mortals should do?"
Li Xuandao pondered for a moment and replied, "Go with the flow, for there is a heavenly will in the darkness. When they are gone, so be it."
As he spoke these words, a wave of sadness washed over him.
Even though mortals can cultivate immortality, the path to true immortality is so distant.
Even Li Xuandao, as the Emperor of the Great Cyan Continent, possessing all the resources of the world, still couldn't see the hope of achieving immortality.
"Gu An, where are the deities and spirits? What are they thinking?" Li Xuandao looked at Gu An and couldn't help but ask.
Gu An shook his head. "I'm not a deity, how would I know where they are or what they're thinking?"
Li Xuandao stared at him, feeling that Gu An was not inferior to the deities and spirits.
Could it be that Gu An chose to seclude himself in this vast universe because it held secrets yet to be discovered by mortals? Otherwise, why would two Immortal Lords come here?
Gu An heard his thoughts and didn't deny them, for he was also curious about why Tai Yi Immortal Lord had come.
Was it because of a grudge with Xuan Su Immortal Lord, or was there another reason?
The World-Destroying Great Pearl, one of the Celestial Palace's Treasures, was stolen by the Heavenly Sage from the Purple Palace Immortal Emperor. This treasure followed An Hao's reincarnation and was hidden deep within Tianhao's soul. Gu An had sensed the power of this treasure, and while it was indeed formidable, it wasn't enough to drive the deities and spirits mad.
Gu An was curious, but he didn't pay it much mind.
For now, it seemed like a mere conflict between two Immortal Lords, not representing the Celestial Court.
Although the fate of the world would change with the intervention of external forces, these changes would also manifest before his eyes, allowing him to respond in advance.
After discussing Xuan Miao's affairs, Li Xuandao began talking about the celestial pride figures of the world. He knew that Gu An wasn't bringing these matters up to remind him; he just wanted to chat, and there was no need to ask further.
In the Tai Cang Imperial Court, Li Xuandao was like a god, but compared to the ethereal deities and spirits, he was no different from a speck of dust.
As they chatted, Li Xuandao brought up Tianhao.
Tianhao was so dazzling that he reminded Li Xuandao of An Hao. Although, in reality, Tianhao's growth rate was more exaggerated than An Hao's, he felt that if An Hao were still alive, he might not be inferior to Tianhao.
Both of them had 'Hao' in their names, as if it were some sort of inheritance.
Even when the Xiantian Human Race disrupted the world, they couldn't steal Tianhao's thunder, as Tianhao was also fighting against the Xiantian Human Race, maintaining an undefeated record.
Tianhao was shedding his status as a celestial pride, and perhaps after this calamity, he would become a giant in the world.
Gu An and Li Xuandao enjoyed their drinks, and gradually, Li Xuandao forgot his worries. Only when chatting with Gu An did he feel at ease, without the need for constant vigilance. He relished this atmosphere.
...
Thunder rumbled, and the sea of clouds churned as burning meteors fell from the sky, crashing into the earth. The land was engulfed in a sea of fire, and the crisscrossing earth fissures were a terrifying sight.
Suspended in mid-air were figures surrounded by blood qi, all of them from the Xiantian Human Race, numbering over a hundred. They were all at the Immortal Cultivation level, and they all looked in the same direction, their faces filled with terror and despair.
Following their gazes, beneath the thunderclouds, stood a figure towering over the vast sky. His blood-red hair danced wildly, and his imposing figure held a large blade. The blade's light followed its edge, piercing through the sea of clouds, as countless meteors streaked past him, crashing into the earth, shaking the heavens and the earth.
This place was a territory of the Xiantian Human Race, and half a shichen ago, a once-thriving giant city had turned to ashes.
"What exactly is that treasure?"
The companions around him couldn't answer, and those whose cultivation surpassed the Xiao Yao Yuan Xian Jing Jian were even more unable to comprehend.
After enduring for eighty thousand years, the battle of slaughter he was about to engage in was the life he truly yearned for!
To massacre the Xiantian Human Race and become the savior revered by all under heaven—how could he not feel exhilarated?
A thousand miles away, Chen Chuan, An Shengtian, and Jiang Shi stood on a cliff, with lush green mountains behind them and a dim, hazy world before them, shrouded in thick smoke.
"How come this guy feels more like the world-ending evil demon?" An Shengtian couldn't help but mutter.
Jiang Shi shook his head and chuckled, "It makes sense for the master to make him a mount. At least it's one less disaster for the mortal world."
Chen Chuan didn't laugh. He frowned and said, "Don't you feel like the evil demons of the Xiantian Human Race are endless? We've been out for a thousand years, and we've killed so many. But do you feel their offensive has weakened?"
Chen Chuan didn't like slaughter, and his thousand years of experience had made him despise the Xiantian Human Race. He wanted to expel them as soon as possible.
"Perhaps there's a place connected to the beyond, and an endless stream of evil demons from the Xiantian Human Race are coming to reinforce them," Jiang Shi speculated.
An Shengtian raised his eyebrows and said, "If we don't resolve this place, will this calamity never end?"
Chen Chuan narrowed his eyes and said, "You're right. We can't keep running around like headless flies. Our cultivation may not be strong, but with the four Dao Treasures combined, we can certainly end this great cataclysm and spread the fame of the Nothingness Saint!"
After a thousand years of travel, the name of Nothingness had already spread throughout the mortal world, but Chen Chuan felt it wasn't enough.
The master had saved the mortal world so many times, yet the people had forgotten him. Now, everywhere, they worshipped deities, which made Chen Chuan very dissatisfied.
He wanted the people to know who was truly supporting the Heavenly Spirit Grand World.
Upon hearing Chen Chuan's words, An Shengtian's heart stirred, and his face showed anticipation.
"We can find Tian Xiao'er and the others. With three more Dao Treasures, we'll have a better chance," Jiang Shi suggested.
Chen Chuan nodded, his eyes gleaming. "Nothingness disciples, wielding the Seven Great Treasures to save the world—this story will be even more spectacular."
At the same time, far below the boundary gate, the Celestial Spirit Deity was watching them.
Ever since Chen Chuan and his companions appeared, the power of the Dao Treasures had caught the attention of the Celestial Spirit Deity.
Tianhao possessed three Dao Treasures, and at that time, he had marveled at Gu An's ability to refine Dao Artifacts. Now, seeing that each Nothingness disciple had one, he became curious about Gu An's true cultivation level.
"Xuan Su Xian Jun, Taiyi Xian Jun, and him... In this chessboard, Jin Ji God, you have no hope of survival. Poor you, you don't even realize it."
The Celestial Spirit Deity thought to himself as he stood up, facing the boundary gate, as if preparing to welcome the arrival of a certain being.
