Chapter 628: Dull, Yet Interesting

"Since that's the case, Black Charcoal Dao Deity, do you still intend to cause trouble for the Black Sky Sovereign?"
Qi Yuan turned to Black Charcoal Dao Deity and asked calmly, devoid of any emotion. Yet, his words made Black Charcoal Dao Deity's heart skip a beat.
At their level of cultivation, the desire for survival and eternity was no less than the pursuit of the Dao.
"Upon hearing your poem, I feel deep sorrow within, and I never imagined that I almost made such a grave mistake," said Black Charcoal Dao Deity, a sensible being, as if he and the Black Sky Sovereign were truly close brothers.
Of course, in reality, they had no blood relation or kinship.
Their relationship was as distant as that between a worm and a monkey.
"Indeed, if all beings in the Yang Plane were as sensible as you, that would be wonderful," said Qi Yuan.
Not only the Yang Plane, but if the Yin Plane and even the Rebirth Plane's creatures could understand human language, and be moved by Qi Yuan's words, then wouldn't the world be filled with love everywhere? The cultivation world's atmosphere would surely improve.
Since Black Charcoal Dao Deity understood human language, this banquet was enjoyable for the guests, and no unpleasant incidents occurred.
Black Charcoal Dao Deity sat beside Qi Yuan and asked in a low voice, "I don't know your esteemed name or which lineage you're from?"
At Qi Yuan's level of cultivation, he couldn't be a nameless cultivator. In this world, there must be traces of his existence.
Black Charcoal Dao Deity was curious about Qi Yuan's identity and wondered, "Who exactly is he?" After asking, he might have felt a bit abrupt, so he introduced himself.
"I'm from the Radiant Light Sect lineage, and my lineage master is Floating Light, who once visited Origin Mountain."
As he mentioned his lineage master, Black Charcoal Dao Deity's eyes showed reverence and pride.
The lineage master of the Radiant Light Sect, in terms of strength, was even more powerful than the Emperor Deity.
Black Charcoal Dao Deity spoke while observing Qi Yuan's expression and reaction.
"Floating Light?" Qi Yuan's eyes flickered with recognition.
Memories from his past lives in the San Sheng universe surfaced.
Floating Light, he had once met him.
Back then, when San Sheng went to Origin Mountain, Floating Light had helped the other Yang Five Guardians.
Later, San Sheng embarked on the path of reincarnation, and Floating Light achieved the Dao Lord realm.
As for what happened after that, San Sheng didn't know.
"You know Floating Light?" Black Charcoal Dao Deity asked.
"One of my split bodies met him at Origin Mountain," Qi Yuan replied truthfully, hiding nothing.
"Split bodies? Origin Mountain?" Black Charcoal Dao Deity took a deep breath, astonished.
These two phrases were enough to surprise him.
He became even more curious about Qi Yuan's identity.
Apparently, he was undoubtedly an ancient and eternal existence.
Of course, even if he wasn't, Qi Yuan's demonstrated abilities were proof enough of his power, and he didn't need his identity to validate his strength.
A true ruler only needs to sit on their throne; only the weak need to prove their noble status.
...
"Life, it's rather dull."
After parting ways with the Black Sky Sovereign, Qi Yuan traveled alone in the Rebirth Plane.
In the past, when he walked as San Sheng, his senses were entirely different from what they were now.
Initially, San Sheng sought to comprehend all the laws of the world, find a way to break them, and then follow his path of reincarnation.
San Sheng's vow was solely focused on reincarnation.
Everything was done to pave the way for reincarnation.
Unfortunately, San Sheng had the talent but lacked Qi Yuan's brilliant mind.
When Qi Yuan was at the Arching Star stage, he once posted online, gathering wisdom from netizens, which helped him create an unconventional Purple Mansion.
This was what was known as the Underworld.
Without the Underworld, how could there be reincarnation? Every Blue Star being understood this principle.
Regrettably, San Sheng wasn't a Blue Star being and didn't comprehend this principle.
Of course, the most crucial factor was that when San Sheng was at the Divine Infant stage, he wasn't as bold as Qi Yuan, who directly created the Underworld.
Therefore, Qi Yuan was just one step away from achieving San Sheng's pursuit of reincarnation.
"As long as I complete this game task and protect the Abandoned Land, then... I can enter the Radiant Sage realm or, in other words... master reincarnation?"
"But what is the Radiant Sage realm?"
Qi Yuan fell into deep thought again.
The path of reincarnation had become clear to him.
He sought the ultimate freedom and absolute autonomy.
Even if everything in the world was destined for "Return to Nothing," he could still control reincarnation and find his true self within the "Return to Nothing."
"I should pay a visit to Duchess Nar. Let's see if this clever butler has any good ideas for me."
Qi Yuan's figure flashed, and he headed towards the Abandoned Land.
...
At the same time, in the depths of the Abandoned Land, Zhao Jian's face wore a worried expression.
"What terrible luck. The cleansing of Heavenly King Mountain is almost reaching here. Duchess Nar, why won't you leave?"
In search of the Three Purities Law, Zhao Jian had hidden in this world.
...
But three thousand years ago, Qi Yuan had disappeared without a trace.
Mysterious powers like Heavenly King Mountain began to cleanse the Abandoned Land, and multiple Dao Deities took action simultaneously.
Even Dao Deities who had survived one or two disasters joined the fray.
The notorious fugitives in the Abandoned Land were either captured or crippled.
Qi Yuan, being one of those notorious fugitives, was naturally on the list.
Fortunately, there were too many ruthless individuals in the Abandoned Land, including many outlaws, so Qi Yuan didn't attract too much attention from the Dao Deities.
The cleansing had not yet reached the world where Duchess Nar resided, but it was only a matter of time.
"Why should I leave? This is my home. I'm the Great Intelligent Steward personally appointed by the Vampire Emperor," Duchess Nar said, tilting her head as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"But the Vampire Emperor hasn't been seen in a long time. Who knows what might have happened..." Zhao Jian wanted to say that even the appearance of the Vampire Emperor, or even the Vampire Ancestor, wouldn't make a difference.
The cleansing of the Abandoned Land by powers like Heavenly King Mountain was so formidable that even the Dao Lords of the Universal Alliance wouldn't dare to interfere easily.
There seemed to be a grand cause and effect at play that even Dao Deities who had survived three disasters and three tribulations treated with utmost seriousness. Perhaps even the legendary Yang Six powerhouse was keeping a watchful eye.
How could a mere Divine Lord like Qi Yuan involve himself in such a terrifying matter?
"I trust the Emperor," Duchess Nar said, patting her still-youthful chest.
"Sigh, if we don't leave now, it'll be too late," Zhao Jian said. "I estimate... it's already too late."
In truth, Zhao Jian had wanted to leave long ago.
But after some thought, he decided against it.
The Dao Deities were too mysterious and powerful, and whether he left or stayed, the chances of encountering them were the same.
There was another reason, though—Qi Yuan had placed a restriction on him, preventing him from leaving.
"This is my territory. Why should I run?"
Just then, a familiar voice echoed.
Zhao Jian's eyes lit up with a complex expression as he saw the newcomer.
After all these years, the reason he had stayed here was for the so-called Three Purities Law.
If Qi Yuan could truly produce the Three Purities Law, perhaps even the Dao Lords of the Universal Alliance would test their luck and venture into the Abandoned Land, and amidst the many Dao Deities, they would bring Qi Yuan out.
At that moment, Qi Yuan's face carried a hint of regret.
"Sigh, I never thought that even the Great Long Legs would have worries. He walked so fast that he covered in half a second the distance that would normally take half a year.
If light could walk faster, would it only take half a year to travel a light-year's distance? I came too early. If I had come later, I might have witnessed the Dao Deities taking action and suppressing this world.
This world is on the brink of destruction. If I suddenly descend as a savior, it would be the most thrilling moment, adding some excitement to an otherwise dull life."
Qi Yuan spoke lazily.
Beside him, Duchess Nar's beautiful eyes lit up at his words.
The Vampire Emperor hadn't been seen in a long time, and his words were becoming more and more profound and unfathomable.
As for Zhao Jian, he was completely baffled.
He had originally wanted to persuade Qi Yuan to see if he could produce the Three Purities Law, lift the restriction on him, and in exchange, the Dao Lord of the Universal Alliance would offer assistance.
But now it seemed that Qi Yuan was genuinely delusional, not just pretending.
He actually wanted to take on those Dao Deities!
PS: I had surgery a few days ago, and I'll need another one in half a month. I'll switch to a larger hospital then, so updates will be like this for now. Apologies, apologies.
Brothers, please pay attention to your health checkups. The author had no symptoms, but the issue turned out to be serious!
