Chapter 2946: Debating the Classics for the Dragon God!

He Lingchuan nodded. That battle left a deep impression on him—how could he possibly forget even a bit?

"After so many years of life-and-death struggles, I too have gained some insight into life and death, just like you—I cannot fully accept the legal understanding of the former owner of the divine seal." Sun Fuling said slowly: "Moreover, the divine seal is exclusive to the heavenly demons. Although they have objectified their understanding of the law—transforming the 'Dao' they have comprehended into a weapon—this very objectification, is it not itself a kind of fixation?"

Fixation?

He Lingchuan felt his heart stir, lost in thought.

Sun Fuling stopped there, saying no more.

The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao.

How He Lingchuan treats the Seal of Fate depends on his own innate insight.

"You're right, I'll think about it more carefully." He also did not rush to condense the divine seal.

……

The next day, the Panlong Army and the Shen Army exchanged duties. Following He Lingchuan's intention, they handed over Baxian City to the State of Shen.

The myth of the Nine Abysses Great Emperor and the Great Wind Army destroying a nation in seven days also began to spread throughout the world.

The Nine Abysses Great Emperor led his army out of the city, and under the gaze of countless people, ascended the Earth Mother Plain.

This strange and magnificent mobile fortress departed in a manner as shocking as its arrival. Those who witnessed it could never forget the sight for the rest of their lives.

Then, the Earth Mother returned to the Kunlong Abyss and sank into deep slumber for over half a month.

Sleep is the greatest tonic—for both humans and the Earth Mother alike.

The last time it returned to the Kunlong Abyss was due to spiritual exhaustion, and after enduring successive battles with heavenly demons, it nearly ran out of fuel. He Lingchuan naturally wanted it to recover its vitality properly after the war.

This time, with the protection of the Nine Abysses Great Emperor and the Red General, the Earth Mother could finally rest easy and sleep deeply and soundly.

When it awoke again, the land and structures on the Earth Mother Plain had turned deep ochre. This was because the Earth Mother had absorbed ample nourishment from its birthplace—not only using the power of the earth to heal its wounds, but its entire body was now filled with strength.

No wonder it is the darling of the earth—this alone makes other immortals envious. After the Lingjin Treasure battle, it began closed-door cultivation, and most of those who participated then are still healing their wounds now.

Furthermore, after enduring successive world-shaking battles, whether it be the Earth Mother or immortals like Mingke, they have gained new insights. Their previously stagnant realms have advanced again, and their minds have progressed greatly.

Those who survive such wars afterward can reap enormous rewards.

After this recovery, the Earth Mother can now wander the world for a long time without needing to return to the Kunlong Abyss—following this battle, the heavenly demons have likely lost heart and will no longer trouble it.

During the time it slept with its head covered in the Kunlong Abyss, the outside world was stirred into a great commotion.

The Lingxu Crowd's second attempt to scheme against the Earth Mother Plain failed, and the three major gods—including the Jiaolou Heaven—who launched a sneak attack instead perished. This shocking news is spreading wildly among mortals, its impact far surpassing that of the Flash Gold Unification and the Blue Yan Establishment, like throwing a millstone into a six-foot-wide pool, sending up half a pool of water with a splash.

Everyone who hears this news will instinctively retort:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

What is a Great Heavenly God? Immortal and indestructible, omnipotent!

A wave of the hand hides the stars and covers the moon; casually, it destroys heaven and earth.

Can such an existence fall? Can such an existence be killed by humans?

Yet folk tales spread rapidly, claiming that the hundreds of divine statues in the Ten Thousand Gods Hall of the Xushan Heavenly Palace all collapsed and shattered on the same day. Since the Xushan Heavenly Palace opens to believers every twelve hours of the day, even at dawn, many devotees still witnessed this unbelievable sight with their own eyes.

Then they were driven out, and the Ten Thousand Gods Hall temporarily announced its closure.

But some have sworn that the statues of Jiaolou Heaven and Bai Zhan Heaven truly shattered on their own, especially the Bai Zhan Heaven's white jade statue, which split cleanly into top and bottom, rolled on the ground for several turns.

From then on, countless believers lost their faith along with the shattered idols.

Can a dead heavenly god still be called a "god"?

Inevitably, everyone's gaze turned to the god-slayer.

Again, the Nine Abysses Great Emperor!

Twenty years ago, he single-handedly unified Flash Gold and founded a vast empire;

For twenty years, he has remained at the top of the world's power rankings, the most frequently seen strongman, without equal; even in the rural fields of Shen State, illiterate old women have heard his name, for they worship him alongside the Thunder God and Lightning Mother.

Twenty years later, he has actually begun slaughtering the Great Heavenly Gods!

In this man's dictionary, how exactly are the two words "absurd" written? Is it not quite different from ordinary people?

Thus, many scholars have begun gathering to discuss: "Is the Nine Abysses Great Emperor truly a reincarnated dragon god?"—a serious topic, repeatedly argued from every angle.

Over twenty years ago, people had already debated this, but audiences usually dismissed it with a laugh. Yet those with status, learning, and cultivation could clearly distinguish between humans and dragons. Although the Nine Abysses Great Emperor founded a vast empire, he is ultimately just a man—how could his achievements compare to those of the ancient dragon gods? Such legends are merely gilding one's own face.

Legends are legends; whoever takes them seriously has already lost.

But now it is different. The heavenly gods launched two attacks on the Earth Mother Plain—first repelled with losses, then after three years of planning, they suffered an even worse defeat: not only did they fail to take the Earth Mother Plain and the Great Fang Hu, but they also lost their lady and lost troops, and even a great heavenly god like Jiaolou Heaven was lost!

And do not forget—this invasion was a collective divine descent. Besides the three great heavenly gods, nearly a hundred heavenly gods participated!

This is also the first time in three thousand years that heavenly gods have descended to the mortal world in full divine form—meant to sweep across the eight directions and display their full divine might—but in the end, nearly the entire army was wiped out!

You tell me again—is the Nine Abysses Great Emperor human?

Even in ancient times, no true immortal could achieve such a record—not even the Primordial Immortal of the Great Return Sect could do it—

Except the Black Dragon God Sovereign.

The dragon god truly possesses an impressive record, clear and verifiable, just like the Nine Abysses Great Emperor.

So, how could he possibly not be the reincarnation of the dragon god?

There is also a widely accepted theory: the Nine Abysses Great Emperor also seized the divine seal of the God of Fate, thereby not only controlling his own destiny but also influencing his opponents' fortunes, which is why the heavenly demons' repeated schemes against him have all failed.

Because fate itself cannot be defeated.

Therefore, the Nine Abysses Great Emperor is the bane of the heavenly demons!

For a time, this debate boiled over across nations. Envoys of Cang Yan sent abroad would always be brought up on this topic.

As for the Nine Abysses Great Emperor dying and being reborn, people are actually not too surprised.

They have long called him "Nine Abysses" and claimed he comes from the Nine Abysses, is a reborn dragon god.

If the dragon god can be reborn once, of course it can be reborn a second time.

An immortal body—how could it be measured by ordinary reason?
