Chapter 3116: The Past of the Great Manservant

The great vessel glowed with feeling, its body radiating a luxuriant light that reflected on her face, making her complexion gleam white and fair, beautiful as an immortal of the cold palace.

Zhao Mantou nodded, understanding.

Sun Fuling looked at Zhao Mantou, wanting to speak but hesitating.

The Great Manservant said good-naturedly: "Ask away, otherwise there will be no chance later."

"How did you————fall?" This question, Sun Fuling had also been curious about for a long time, "Was it also the doing of the heavenly demons?"

In the river, there was again the sound of gurgling water, and she put away the great vessel.

"From ancient times to the present, indeed there have been a great number of immortals, even several true immortals whose fall was related to the heavenly demons." Zhao Mantou sighed, "But I am not; my true self underwent natural dissolution."

"Natural dissolution?" In the past few thousand years, spiritual energy has weakened, and most immortals have undergone natural dissolution. Zhao Mantou wouldn't also be like this, would he?

"At the end of the ancient war, the Dragon God saw that the Holy Lord of Lingxu intended to use the Tianluo Star, so he exerted all his strength to blast open a hole on the Tianluo Star, causing the spiritual energy on the ground to no longer flow unidirectionally to the heavenly realm, but instead to wax and wane between the two worlds. Even so, he was pessimistic about humanity's future, believing that if this continued, the heavenly demons would prevail, and do so without bloodshed."

Sun Fuling nodded: "The Holy Lord of Lingxu found a new way to victory, and the Dragon God also saw through this."

What the heavenly demons could not obtain on the frontal battlefield, they obtained by changing the laws of heaven and earth.

The Dragon God could stop them on the frontal battlefield, but in the end found that he could not defeat the Holy Lord of Lingxu under the higher-dimensional laws.

"Before the Dragon God fell, he transmitted to me a final divine thought, hoping I would find the fragments of the Tianluo Star he had shattered, refine them into a divine artifact." The Great Manservant's eyes were filled with memory, "He said this would be the variable he left for humanity. If this world gradually declines, at least some hope could be derived from this variable."

"Just after the immortal-demon war ended, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth greatly diminished, and most true immortals, carrying their own sects, retreated into small worlds to begin closed-door cultivation, to endure the coming decline of spiritual energy."

The Great Manservant said up to this point, paused, then continued: "Actually, spiritual energy is like the tide; before the heavenly demon invasion, our world had already experienced many rises and falls of spiritual energy tides, which is also a natural phenomenon of heaven and earth, and the immortal sects are very experienced in dealing with it."

Sun Fuling nodded.

Just as bears begin hibernation in late autumn to avoid the severe cold of winter, and emerge in spring to move and forage.

"Who could have thought at the time, this would be different?" People believe in fixed experience, and immortals are no different, "At that time I had already been gravely injured by the Holy Lord of Lingxu and Jiaolou Heaven, but rushed to seek the fragments of the heavenly demon star, having no time for closed-door cultivation. When I reached the place of the Dragon God's fall, I found his remains were almost gone."

"Almost gone? Why is that?"

At that time, the black dragon's cultivation had already surpassed true immortality, only one step away from entering the heavenly way. Moreover, the dragon race originally was

one of the most physically cultivated divine beasts, Sun Fuling found it hard to imagine what could still destroy its remains?

"Because he sacrificed himself, from soul to body."

Sun Fuling suddenly understood: "Corpse liberation!"

The Dragon God, by sacrificing himself, activated the world will within the Tianluo Star fragments, and let his soul combine with it, forming the bud of a new chaotic will, that is, the embryonic form of a new law, although the chaotic will would not truly take shape until after slaying the boundless heavens.

To cultivate to such a realm, such an indestructible vajra body, is originally the most difficult in the world, yet the Dragon God said he would abandon it just like that, truly great wisdom, great fearlessness.

Also great compassion.

"When I first found the Tianluo Star fragments, the Dragon God's soul was in the process of merging with the will of the small world. He told me I must process the Tianluo Star fragments before the Hongmeng primordial qi dissipates, then he fell silent, with no further response to the outside world."

"The hope the Dragon God bought with his life, I naturally cannot neglect, so I raced against time to bring back the Tianluo Star fragments, gathered the power of several true immortals, and refined them into the divine artifact, the great vessel."

The Great Manservant gave a bitter laugh: "But I never expected this great vessel to be so difficult to refine; we tried countless times, all ending in failure"

o

Sun Fuling now also understands why: "The day a divine artifact is born, the day heaven's laws are reversed. At that time, refining the great vessel was defying heaven, not permitted by heaven and earth, so it was extremely difficult."

"That is the principle." The Great Manservant lightly clapped his palms, "Your understanding of laws has already surpassed that of the true immortals of that time."

o

Sun Fuling fell silent for a long time, then asked him: "What did you do?"

"Having reached that point, how could I abandon it midway?" The Great Manservant sighed, "So I poured my last bit of effort into the artifact 'Star Cloud Lock Chain', and threw it into the furnace. Fortunately, this time it was finally successfully refined!"

"But I also exhausted my oil and dried my lamp, and furthermore, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth after the war was abnormally thin, so I had to undergo natural dissolution over a hundred years later."

Star Cloud Lock Chain! Sun Fuling was moved.

No wonder, in the red sea of the great vessel before, when the chaotic will wandered in all directions, it always dragged one giant chain after another; now I see it was the Great Manservant's natal artifact.

Probably, the Dragon God commemorated him in this way.

"Although my true self has already undergone natural dissolution, I can still separate out an incarnation, attach it to the jade leaf the Dragon God gave me, and from then on walk the world as the Great Manservant, seeking the whereabouts of the great vessel."

He looked at Sun Fuling, his eyes not hiding pity: "Actually, whether it was the fall of Yuan State or the battle deaths at Panlong City, I was nearby, alas, having the will but lacking the strength, unable to help you reverse fate."

He is merely a wisp of an incarnation, unlike his true self with vast supernatural powers, lacking the ability to turn the tide.

Sun Fuling looked at the tranquil river before her: "This is already enough."

The world cannot demand more from the Great Manservant.

"What I can do is only to help the great vessel, seek the next predestined person." The Great Manservant also felt relieved, "Fortunately, He Lingchuan this time went further than you all, even helped the great vessel return from void to substance, aiding the completion of the yuanli law."

He again asked Sun Fuling: "For the difficulty of the upcoming battle, you should have a sense of it in your heart, right?"

"Yes. In Lady Lady Lady Mitian's memories, the Holy Lord of Lingxu is an extremely difficult-to-kill soulless one. After he truly grasped the divine status of life, no matter what moves Lady Lady Lady Mitian employs, he cannot truly kill the Holy Lord of Lingxu." This battle's difficulty, she and He Lingchuan have mentally prepared for, just not yet thought of how to fight.

The Great Manservant then said: "The place the Holy Lord of Lingxu wants to go to can be called the Boundless", that is, a place of non-existence. The Dragon God should have mentioned it to you, right?"

"He has." Sun Fuling nodded, "That place is indeed a good place for the final battle. If he eliminates us, it's once and for all; if we eliminate him, future troubles are forever removed."
