Chapter 418: End

The complete Taichu Lao Ren's form completely dissipated in the air, while the defective Taichu Lao Ren also began to seize memories.

After a few breaths, the defective Taichu Lao Ren opened his eyes, and his gaze also became somewhat deeper.

Shen Qing looked at Taichu Lao Ren: "How is it? Have the memories been inherited?"

Taichu Lao Ren sighed: "Inherited, but what happened is more than I imagined."

However, I will tell you as much as possible; where would you like to start?

Shen Qing pondered for a moment: "Then let's start with the Creator God. Who is the Creator God? Why am I called the Creator God?"

The system is very likely related to this Creator God, which is why it is of utmost importance.

Taichu Lao Ren spoke: "This story is very long, so I will make it short."

When heaven and earth had not yet opened, the world existed in a sea of chaos until one day an innate being cleaved the chaos, splitting it in two, and then modeled after itself and other innate beings to create all kinds of creatures.

This being later came to be called the Creator God by us.

"Is he dead?" Shen Qing inquired, after all just now the complete Taichu Lao Ren had roared, if the Creator God were still alive they wouldn't have grasped the power of chaos, so isn't that saying the Creator God is already dead?

But could a powerful being capable of cleaving chaos be killed?

Taichu Lao Ren nodded: "Yes, dead. The being that killed the Creator God and the one that killed me is the same entity; I cannot tell you its specific name."

But that being is even stronger than the Creator God; to protect all beings and this world, the Creator God sacrificed their own life to seal that terrifying being somewhere.

And before the Creator God died, they also discovered a method to kill that terrifying being: the power of chaos. However, only a race called the Primordial Clan can wield the power of chaos, but that race was destroyed by that terrifying being long ago.

So this is also your origin.

Taichu Lao Ren continued: "The Creator God created a brand-new soul that can both adapt to the power of chaos and wield the Creator God's power—that's you!"

Shen Qing then recounted his transmigration and the system again.

Taichu Lao Ren fell silent for a moment, then searched his memories again, after all Taichu Lao Ren has lived at least several million years, with memories as numerous as the stars in the sky.

Found it, found it!

Back then the Creator God said, to prevent accidents, they had prepared hundreds of thousands of bodies in advance; once your soul detects special danger, it will bring you to a safe place.

But only your soul is the true Creator God's soul.

As for that system, it is you inheriting the power left by the Creator God; once you have fully inherited it, you will completely replace the Creator God, and be even stronger, because you wield the power of chaos that the Creator God never mastered.

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes: "Then will this Creator God, like your original self, have left some similar contingency?"

Taichu Lao Ren shook his head: "Based on my understanding of the Creator God, they won't; they themselves lack much emotion and feeling, and everything they do is for all beings."

So you can rest assured.

Suddenly, Taichu Lao Ren felt something, and his expression drastically changed.

"Shen Qing! Hurry and ask any other questions you have! Our commotion just now was not small; that terrifying being may have noticed us!"

Shen Qing thought of something: "There's still one question: initially a purple giant beast guided me here; it is trapped in the Defiers Alliance—what is the identity of that purple giant beast?"

"Purple giant beast? That should be Ziyun, also an innate being, one of our own; however, according to my memory, before I died, Ziyun had already gone missing, so he likely also doesn't know about my later arrangements; otherwise he wouldn't have let you come here."

Speaking, Taichu Lao Ren looked up at the sky, raised his hand and summoned a silver metal ball; this metal ball began to quickly absorb the Primordial Pavilion's power of time, and in just a few breaths, the power of time in the Primordial Pavilion was absorbed by seventy or eighty percent.

Afterward, Taichu Lao Ren stuffed this metal ball filled with the power of time into Shen Qing's embrace.

"I originally wanted you to absorb the power of time in the Primordial Pavilion, but now it's too late! This metal ball is full of the power of time; take it back and absorb it in a safe place—our disturbance has drawn the attention of that terrifying being."

"Go quickly!"

Shen Qing didn't hesitate, grabbed the ball and left the Primordial Pavilion; Taichu Lao Ren suddenly remembered something and shouted again.

"Oh, right! This old thing left some treasures here; remember to take them! This old thing prepared them for its own rebirth, but now they're all yours!"

Then a token fell into Shen Qing's hand; Shen Qing looked back at Taichu Lao Ren, nodded, and quickly went down the mountain.

Down at the mountain's base, Xuanji was still on guard; seeing Shen Qing come down, he was about to speak a greeting when Shen Qing grabbed his neck and turned into a stream of light rushing out of the Ruins Flow Battlefield.

Meanwhile, Taichu Lao Ren was controlling the power of time to sweep away all traces of Shen Qing's passage.

With Shen Qing's full-speed advance and the coordination of the power of time, they soon left the Ruins Flow Battlefield, reached a safe position, and Martial Emperor and Shen Wendao saw Shen Qing also hurrying over.

"Shen Qing, what's going on?"

But before Shen Qing could speak, the dark space directly above the Ruins Flow Battlefield suddenly split open, and a turbulent, violent aura surged forth.

Xuanji, whose neck Shen Qing had grabbed, recalled something and began to tremble uncontrollably, his head shrinking.

Then a terrifying black hand stretched out; this hand's might was terrifying beyond compare, boundless, even the vast Ruins Flow Battlefield was completely covered by this giant hand.

At that moment, the Ruins Flow Battlefield also burst forth with a white light; Primordial Mountain rose into the air, its splendor dazzling.

Taichu Lao Ren's voice echoed throughout the Ruins Flow Battlefield!

"End! Come on!!!"

Shen Qing understood, this roar was meant for him to hear.

It was to tell Shen Qing what his opponent's name is.

Taichu Lao Ren controlled Primordial Mountain to rush straight toward End's palm.

And End's that boundless giant palm also pressed downward, erupting with a terrifying air wave that crushed the Ruins Flow Battlefield into continual fragmentation.

Taichu Lao Ren in midair laughed loudly: "My duty is fulfilled, I have no regrets!"

Then, looking at that palm, a deathly resolve arose!

In the next instant, Taichu Lao Ren's body began to burn, together with the remaining power of time; the radiance on Primordial Mountain grew ever brighter, hurtling head-on into End's palm.

Boom!

An explosion of extreme brilliance burst forth; the blinding light made Martial Emperor and Shen Wendao instinctively shut their eyes, only Shen Qing could see the situation clearly with the Origin Source Eye.

It was Taichu Lao Ren who, by burning himself and the power of time as a price, detonated Primordial Mountain.

Even so, Shen Qing could clearly see that this terrifying explosion caused no damage whatsoever to that palm.

But this is also normal.

Even the living Taichu Lao Ren, who possesses a domain of the power of time and several supreme power domains, is no match for End, let alone the now-deceased Taichu Lao Ren with only the remaining power of time.

When the brilliance faded, that palm had already vanished without a trace.

And that huge Ruins Flow Battlefield was completely reduced to nothing under this terrifying fluctuation.

The three people and one beast all fell silent.

Xuan Ji suddenly spoke: "That giant hand is called…"

But before he could finish, Shen Qing pinched his mouth shut: "Don't say his name."

Xuan Ji also realized something, nodding with a frightened expression.

Afterwards, Xuan Ji couldn't say it even if he wanted to, for Shen Qing had implanted a soul seal in him, making those words equivalent to an irrevocable command.

Shen Qing withdrew his gaze, turned, and flew toward the Defiers' Base.

"Let's go."
