Chapter 546: World in Flux, The True Culprit!

Nineteen percent of the 【Break】-character Saint-Breaking Fruit is worth as much as one hundred and ninety 【Break】-character Saint-Breaking Fruits from before.

"Cultivate."

Chen Yan whispered, and simultaneously, a Myriad Aspect Enlightenment Seed appeared before him.

The Myriad Aspect Enlightenment Seed radiated divine light of enlightenment, beginning to accelerate the operation of Chen Yan's mind.

【Force: 2/100

Blood: 63/100

Technique: 74/100

Body: 7/100

Array: 35/100

Origin: 0/100

Will: 37/100

Break: 19/100】

The progress of the 【Break】-character Saint-Breaking Fruit requires Chen Yan's planning, and its growth is slow.

Chen Yan still needs to have the other soon-to-mature Saint-Breaking Fruits ripen as quickly as possible.

For example, 【Technique】 and 【Blood】.

Only when these Saint-Breaking Fruits are thoroughly transformed into his own strength will Chen Yan have an extra layer of security for his survival.

Chen Yan closed his eyes and began to meditate and conceive.

The Will-path martial art he is constructing, 【Decay-Control: Saint-Condensed Origin】, is currently only in the conceptual stage.

This martial art will fully integrate the strength of the Will path and the Horizontal Refining path.

A single 【Technique】-character Saint-Breaking Fruit should not be enough.

Once 【Decay-Control: Saint-Condensed Origin】 is born, it will be a Sun-level martial art.

Moreover, it can unleash unexpected combat power.

That is, the bombardment of the will.

Imagine, when a terrifying ultimate move strikes, your first reaction is definitely to dodge or block.

But when the power of the will within this ultimate move strikes, it will instantly suppress your fighting spirit, and even your own self-perception will be quietly altered.

How terrifying would that move be?

【Decay-Control: Saint-Condensed Origin】 is only the first step; if Chen Yan learns to create, he will only become more proficient in the future.

Chen Yan reached out with one hand, and a ball of light began to condense in his palm, with countless streams of light dancing like a swarm of snakes inside.

Immediately after, a faint golden-red radiance began to be injected into it.

Boom.

It exploded.

Chen Yan shook his head and continued to perform 【Void-Breaking: Saint-Condensation】, injecting Immortal Will into it.

Within the Saint-Breaking Realm, golden light representing the energy of technique emerged.

As time slowly passed.

Two days later.

A Temple of the Lord of Will in Tie Province.

Directly in front, towering pillars were arranged solemnly, holding up the spacious eaves.

The tall Temple of the Lord of Will was built of white marble, and a sense of solemnity rushed toward one's face.

As the residents of Tie Province walked toward the main hall, each of them wore a look of reverence, entering the hall to kneel quietly before that majestic stone sculpture.

It was also at this moment.

Everyone's gaze was drawn to the rear.

Clatter!

Everyone ran outside the temple and watched with extreme respect.

A youth in red robes walked in quietly, accompanied by a woman who looked seventy percent like him.

The people around were extremely quiet, but they watched with awe.

Chen Yan walked into the main hall, stood for a long time looking at the stone sculpture that had its back to the living beings, and then left.

After he left, a wave of commotion instantly erupted behind him.

"Divine General!"

"The Divine General is truly no ordinary person."

"Heavens, he just glanced at me."

Sounds of reverence resounded one after another.

The news of Chen Yan's appearance in Tie Province spread rapidly in all directions; now, every move Chen Yan makes is the focus of the human world.

"Chen Yan has prepared for the arrival of the will of the Lord of Will."

"The malice of the human world is about to disappear."

"Great Lord of Will, you must save the human world!"

Chen Yan walked quietly above the void, with Chen Yu following quietly by his side.

"Brother, what are we going to do next?"

Chen Yu asked.

"Do you want to go eat some hand-pulled noodles in Tie Province?" Chen Yan smiled and looked at Chen Yu.

"Ah?" Chen Yu was extremely surprised:

"Brother, are you not cultivating?"

Chen Yan stroked Chen Yu's head:

"Do you want to go eat?"

The little girl hesitated for a good while, then her eyes sparkled as she said:

"I do."

"Do you want to go to Jin Province? Dad is still in Jin Province," Chen Yan continued to ask.

"Mm-hmm." Chen Yu nodded:

"I want to eat fried noodles."

The little girl giggled, thinking to herself that with the Lord of Will appearing, her brother must surely feel much more relaxed.

At this moment, Chen Yan's true body was still cultivating; this divine avatar of will walked the mortal world in his stead, also giving him the chance to re-examine the past.

Ever since entering the Martial Dao, Chen Yan seemed to have overlooked many details of life.

"Xiaoyu, what I thought of at the very beginning was just paying back that one thousand yuan."

Inside a noodle shop, Chen Yan sat by the window, holding a bowl and eating noodles.

Beside him, people came and went, yet it was as if they hadn't noticed his existence at all.

Chen Yu listened earnestly to her brother's words.

"I am a Limit-Breaking Awakened. In that dungeon, I was thinking, why, why did I end up like this?

What exactly did I do wrong?"

Chen Yan murmured, speaking of the things that happened after he entered the Martial Dao.

"In this year and a half, I always felt time passed so slowly, wishing I could tear my own time apart to use it.

But what makes me happiest is still this moment of eating with you."

Opposite him, tears welled up in the little girl's eyes, and she nodded obediently.

"Brother, everything will get better."

Chen Yu said quietly.

Chen Yan nodded and took Chen Yu out of the noodle shop; on the street, there were still vast crowds of people heading in groups toward the Temple of the Lord of Will.

The siblings found a quiet park, lying on a bench and watching the sunset.

The horizon looked as if it were on fire.

Chen Yan watched the great sun descend in silence.

It set in Tie Province, so it must surely be acting as the sun in another place.

It was always the sun, never extinguished.

Chen Yan brought Chen Yu back to Qin Province, back to Yunmeng City. He saw the Yunmeng City Military Martial Guard, which had once been their home.

"Brother, you haven't stayed in this home many times."

The little girl muttered.

"Then let's go home," Chen Yan smiled.

"Mm, okay," Chen Yu smiled.

"Then you go back first," Chen Yan said, and Chen Yu asked suspiciously:

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

…………

Yunmeng City Martial Suppression Division.

Moonlight spilled through the window onto Si Wenyi's slightly weary face; Si Wenyi leaned against the chair and took a sip of tea.

She looked at the documents on the table once more.

"Has it reached Tie Province?" Si Wenyi's eyes were unfocused; she rested her head on her wrists, once again eroded by memories.

Knock, knock, knock.

The sound of knocking on the door rang out.

Si Wenyi said indifferently:

"The order for your transfer to Yixian City will come down tomorrow."

The door was opened.

A young man stood at the doorway, his expression somber:

"Chief Si, why be like this? I only gave you flowers once."

Si Wenyi frowned:

"My meaning is already very clear."

The young man's expression was ugly:

"I have heard about you and that person, but is it even possible?"

Si Wenyi chuckled:

"And which person?"

The young man's face trembled, fear appearing in his eyes, his lips quivering, unable to force the word "Chen" out of his mouth.

The moment that figure appeared in his mind, he felt as if he were carrying a great mountain, finding it hard to breathe.

He clenched his fists, feeling angry to the extreme, yet sweat appeared on his forehead.

"I..." The young man gritted his teeth, a look of difficulty appearing in his eyes:

"You!"

He felt somewhat ashamed and angry, wanting to leave directly, but he felt even more ashamed and angry.

"Look at you, you don't even dare to say his name, Chen... Chen..."

Si Wenyi stood up with a clatter, looking toward the doorway in astonishment.

"Chen Yan!" the young man growled, "He isn't even here, what do I have to be afraid of? I..."

The next moment, the young man's complexion changed drastically, as if he had seen something truly terrifying; he was incomparably horrified.

"Sister Siwen."

Chen Yan walked past the young man's side and walked toward Si Wenyi.

With a slap.

The young man collapsed directly onto the ground, not even daring to take a full breath.

The next moment, he scrambled to crawl out of the room, fleeing for his life as if he had gone mad.

He would leave Yunmeng City tonight.

No.

Leave Qinzhou.

He did not know if Chen Yan would remember him, but he was already terrified beyond measure.

Why would this person appear here?

Would this person kill him?

He would be in fear for a long time, unable to cope.

Chen Yan, meanwhile, sat down opposite Si Wenyi.

Si Wenyi stared blankly for a long time, then suddenly burst into a giggle.

"Time passes so quickly."

As Si Wenyi spoke, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes; she kept looking at the young man opposite her.

"It does, so quickly." Chen Yan nodded:

"Don't be too tired, Sister Siwen."

Si Wenyi nodded:

"I'm not tired, not tired at all."

Chen Yan and Si Wenyi talked for a long time.

Until Si Wenyi realized it was getting late and said to Chen Yan, "You should go quickly, you still have so many things to do."

Si Wenyi pushed Chen Yan out the door: "Go quickly, go quickly."

She smiled, as if annoyed, and closed the door.

With a bang.

Si Wenyi closed the door, leaned against it, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

"Time, it passes so quickly."

It felt just like, the previous second.

She was still in the spectator area of the Tianbi Boxing Match, watching that Bing Yi defeat a boxer named Wen Xin.

Si Wenyi's gaze gradually grew unfocused, and the tears could no longer be held back.

"You really... why must you be so powerful?"

She covered her face and wept, squatting down.

Chen Yan returned to Qingshan Town.

He walked along the quiet country road until he reached the village, only to discover that the roads in the village had long been renovated and were very orderly.

That old locust tree inside the earthen house was lush and green; the flowering season had already passed.

A villager was staring blankly at the old locust tree, not knowing what he was thinking.

His name was Hu Yuan, and he just stood there like that; he would come here every day and stand for a long time.

"Perhaps... perhaps..."

Hu Yuan kept muttering, the regret in his eyes becoming more and more obvious.

Until a certain moment, he saw a figure appear at the doorway of the earthen house and shouted in a low voice:

"Do you know whose house this is? How dare you get close!"

Hu Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Let me tell you, I am a relative of Chen Yan, that's why I can stand so close, you..."

Hu Yuan froze, because the young man had turned around at that moment.

"Hu Yuan, long time no see." Chen Yan said quietly, looking at Hu Yuan.

Immediately, he knocked on the main gate.

Creak, creak, creak...

The old wooden door emitted a low and hoarse sound, and Chen Yu appeared in the courtyard, looking at Chen Yan:

"Brother, I waited for you for two hours, two hours!"

Xiaoyu held up two fingers, quite dissatisfied.

Chen Yan smiled:

"I went to buy some skewers."

"Really."

"Really."

"Hee hee."

"In a while, go call Teacher Wang over to eat together."

The main gate closed.

Hu Yuan stared blankly, and the next moment he burst into "Hahaha" laughter, as if he had lost his mind.

Chen Province, Chi Province, Ji Province, Lu Province, Yu Province.

News regarding Chen Yan appeared almost instantly on the desks of the Lords of each province.

"Taking his younger sister fishing?"

"He went to the temple in Qin Province."

"Is he not cultivating anymore?"

"Someone saw him lying in the middle of the lake, looking... looking at the sky..."

The Lords of each province wore strange expressions.

Had Chen Yan completely accepted the fact that he was about to bear a sliver of the Will of the Lord of Will?

"Perhaps, the heavens are truly about to change."

The Lord of Yu murmured aloud.

The structure of the world was about to change completely.

Time passed day by day.

One day.

Two days.

Five days.

Inside Moshan Pass, the first 【Skill】 Saint-Breaking Fruit matured.

"It's not enough, still not enough," Chen Yan murmured.

"The addition of the power of will actually weakens the execution of my force; my research is still insufficient."

Chen Yan sighed; the current 【Decay-Control - Saint-Condensed Primordial】 was only a semi-finished product.

However, good things were also born.

Following the fermentation of these past few days.

The progress of the 【Break】 Saint-Breaking Fruit reached twenty-six percent.

Relying on multiple-thread thinking, Chen Yan prompted his own strength in the path of Qi and Blood and the path of Hard Tempering to greatly advance.

The path of Hard Tempering condensed four hundred and forty-seven True Dragon Dharma Images.

The path of Qi and Blood condensed one thousand seven hundred True Essence Dharma Images.

【Blood: 78/100】

The 【Blood】 Saint-Breaking Fruit was about to mature.

This portion of the Will Divine Body accompanying his sister to tour the Great Xia was not entirely useless after all.

Chen Yan discovered that experiencing the myriad states of the human world would also provide him with another kind of enlightenment.

It was a thing similar to becoming mortal.

Only by understanding nature more closely could one recognize the essence of the world.

"Continue!"

Chen Yan murmured.

Time continued to flow slowly.

Another ten days passed.

The entire world was waiting for the Lord of Will.

In Great Xia, all matters of the five clans were temporarily shelved.

Every household waited nervously, some even beginning to set off fireworks and firecrackers.

It lasted until the fifteenth day.

Lord Chen stood quietly before the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at Chen Province outside.

"I do not have much time left."

He murmured aloud.

"Why would the Lord of Will suddenly appear? Is it because of me?"

He pondered; he held high authority, he grasped everything, he was incomparably powerful, and he had already determined the future of the human world.

Whatever Chen Yan, whatever Bing Yi, in his eyes, they were all insects he could crush with a single finger.

Lord Chen had never truly cared about any Great Xia Divine General.

He felt that caring about such things was childish.

Because he was clear about his own strength and clear about his own abilities, he did not care.

He was not arrogant; this was simply the fact as he perceived it.

But why would the Lord of Will appear?

Why?

Why?

It was also at this moment.

Earth-shattering news arrived.

"The Lord of Will has appeared again; he has chosen Chen Huanming of Chen Province!"

"His sliver of the power of will will appear on Chen Huanming, and he will instantly annihilate the ancient god that is about to awaken."

"Why would it be Chen Huanming? Why him? Could it not be Chen Yan?"

"The Lord of Will said that Chen Huanming is the closest to the ancient god that is about to awaken!"

"This... how is this possible!?"

Sounds of astonishment rang out across the land.

The entire world was incomparably shocked.

【Three days from now, my will shall descend into the body of Chen Huanming.

At the time of the Yin-splitting, slay the Ancient God beneath him to resolve the calamity of your world!】

A grand voice resounded in the ears of all Will Martial Artists.

The Lord of Will appeared once more, and vanished once more.

Three days later, slay the Ancient God of Chen Province!

Stunned.

Earth-shattering!

The unbelievable news spread in an instant.

"What exactly is going on!?"

The Lord of Ji contacted the Lord of Chen directly, shouting in a low voice.

"I want to know what is going on, too!" The Lord of Chi was also stunned to the extreme.

Why was it Chen Province?

Why was it not the Great Xia?

"Hahahaha, you Five Clans, so it was the problem of you Five Clans!"

The roar of the Longevity King resounded over the Mo Mountain Pass, carrying endless killing intent.

"Everything is because of you!!!"

The world underwent a drastic change!

Amidst this drastic change, the fates of all factions seemed to be swept into an unknown vortex.

And the mastermind behind it all was that person whom no one could have imagined.
