Chapter 213: Ancient God Realm

A single strand of white moonlight dispelled all the Darkness.

She is the all‑powerful divine artifact of the world!

"Yun Baobao?"

You lower your head to look at your own heart; within the chest cut open by a sharp blade, a cloud‑wreathed, crystal‑clear heart beats in place of yours.

At the same time, you feel that behind you countless weak living beings have risen.

They all raise both hands and look up at the sky.

They transmit faint energy and fortune to you.

They come from the Great World, gathering like tiny Sparks, lighting the cold, dark universe.

The Darkness has been driven away.

When you look up again, the dark version of yourself in the mirror has vanished without a trace, and only the Girl in White Dress with a clear smile stands before you.

She is merely a faint strand of white moonlight, yet she illuminated your entire world.

"Chuan."

"Really, really, I'm only teaching you this last time."

"This is the only thing I know, taught to the only you."

She leans down and says, "Close your eyes."

You obediently close your eyes, forget everything, as if you have entered another world.

She sits beside you, points toward a higher part of the universe, "Chuan, look quickly."

You follow the direction she points to.

Dense clusters of light points, like a grand meteor shower, cascade toward the distant Darkness in a vast flow.

They also resemble a Starry Sky bridge spanning Chaos, inviting you to the other shore.

"Chuan, go quickly."

"I am no longer here, but more people await you."

Yun Baobao stands at the start of the bridge, waving with a smile, sending you toward the bridge's end.

You glance back three times with each step, fearing she might disappear.

Until you reach the bridge's end, and when you look back, only a void remains, nothing existing.

Tears stream down your face.

Yun Baobao taught you the final lesson of life.

She draws the fortune of all beings from the Great World, constructing a bridge for you.

She taught you the true meaning of Starfire Blaze.

Not just the Human Race, but all beings!

"Yun Baobao, thank you!"

"Guided me once again."

When you look again at the rolling Black Mist, there is no trace of fear in your heart; you have overcome everything.

At this moment you are simply yourself.

You represent the Collective Will of All Beings.

You are the Deity of all beings in the world, and all beings in the world are your Deity.

A desperate reversal exceeded Lin Chuan's expectations.

"No!"

"Xiao Qingmei can still exert power?"

"In such a dire situation, Xiao Qingmei somehow formed a miraculous group, overturning the tide?"

Lin Chuan was stunned.

He had already prepared to exit the Dream Reincarnation and activate the settlement mode.

In this Reincarnation, Xiao Qingmei is literally… the god of the dire situation!

Stepping into the Ancient God Realm, breaking free from the Black Mist's corruption, you form a ball of white mist, enveloping Sangyu, sending her away from this battlefield.

You charge toward the Black Mist.

This time, you are no longer alone.

Ahead of you, Human Ancestor awaits.

Behind you, the Collective Will of All Beings supports.

Also your sword in hand has always been with you, and your heart, which lives and dies together with Yun Baobao.

"Chuan, you succeeded."

Human Ancestor smiles with satisfaction.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting."

You are full of vigor, now fighting side by side with Human Ancestor; whatever lies ahead, you will not retreat a single step.

Human Ancestor says, "Together we will sever the Black Mist's link with them, letting them awaken."

"My power cannot completely cut the Black Mist."

"With my assistance, you will cut everything!"

Human Ancestor ultimately was born relying on the Black Mist; relying on one's own power cannot escape its control.

Its Ancient God is the same.

You are different; although you almost went astray at the critical moment, you ultimately escaped the Black Mist's contamination.

Relying on the bridge built from the fortune of all beings, you step into the Ancient God Realm.

"I'm coming!"

"Burial God Sword Song!"

"Final Form! Burial God!"

A sword that gathers the qi and fortune of all beings, enough to bury an Ancient God; your Sword Dao Realm has reached Great Perfection.

A sword is swung, and the Star River ripples.

Black Mist disperses.

You see black chains coiling around the souls of the Nine Great Ancient Gods.

"Slash!"

You swing another sword.

This sword is the Soul Sword, which will cut all soul shackles.

Sword aura ripples, causing the chains on the Nine Great Ancient Gods to snap inch by inch.

The strangeness on the Nine Great Ancient Gods gradually fades.

They retreat rapidly, moving away from the Black Mist area.

Obviously, although they are controlled, they have always known what they are doing and have been waiting for a chance to be saved.

With the Nine Great Ancient Gods joining, you can finally contend with the Black Mist, cutting off its advance and preventing it from devouring the Great World.

The shackles on Human Ancestor are also cut by you.

Yet their expressions show no relaxation, still staring intently at the swirling Black Mist.

You ask, "What exactly is inside the Black Mist?"

The Ancient Gods all shake their heads.

You are immensely shocked.

The Ancient Gods were born in the Black Mist, yet they do not know what the Black Mist actually is?

Human Ancestor says, "During the period when the Black Mist was sealed, we attempted to enter its core, but all failed."

"There lies great terror; no matter how hard we try, we cannot approach."

"Now the Black Mist lacks self-awareness; it acts purely on instinct. If it were to develop consciousness, it would be a disaster for the entire Chaos Universe."

"Perhaps no Living World can block its corruption."

All those Ancient Gods remain silent.

Even the unconscious Black Mist forced you into a desperate situation; one can imagine how terrifying it would be once it gains consciousness.

Probably no method can resist it.

You find it hard to accept, "Are we ultimately destined to meet failure and destruction?"

"Of course not."

Human Ancestor says, "Since it lacks consciousness, there is still much we can do."

"Its nature is to devour vitality."

"Given that, we will lead it away, far from this world, so it can no longer sense anything."

"This..."

"Probably this is the only thing we can do."

"Perhaps within the Boundless Chaos, there exist far more powerful beings beyond our imagination, beings we cannot comprehend that could destroy it."

Human Ancestor presented his plan.

"We have no choice but this."

"It is time for us to make the sacrifice."

To your surprise, the Ancient Gods have no objections to Human Ancestor's plan; death and fall are not frightening to them.

The Ancient Gods have always sought to escape the corruption.

Perhaps only for... their dignity as Ancient Gods?
