Chapter 394: Karmic Closed Loop, The Truth of Di Jun's Legacy

Taiyi looked at Su Chen and nodded slowly, a profound depth that could see through the ages appearing in those golden eyes that had experienced ten thousand years of vicissitudes.

"The River of Time is mysterious and incomparable. It flows on, rolling forward, irreversible," Taiyi stood with his hands behind his back, his voice echoing in the void. "This space-time barrier is like a reef in the River of Time. You two broke into the barrier, and every move you made here was like a fish swimming against the current, stirring up water splashes in the river."

"This splash is an extremely weak space-time disturbance."

"This disturbance is something ordinary people cannot perceive at all; even a Saint, unless deliberately paying attention, would ignore it. But Big Brother was different."

Speaking of this, Taiyi paused slightly, a domineering figure wearing golden Jin Wu imperial robes and ruling over the Thirty-Three Heavens flashing through his mind.

"Big Brother's companion supreme treasure, the Hetu Luoshu, is the innate spiritual treasure in the Primordial best at deducing the secrets of heaven," Taiyi's tone carried a hint of reminiscence. "I remember it was on the eve of the real Sorcerer-Demon decisive battle; Big Brother felt a premonition in his heart, feeling that the Demon Clan had a disaster of extermination, so he deduced day and night, trying to find a glimmer of hope for the Demon Clan. He exhausted his heart's blood, and with the help of the Hetu Luoshu's power, he keenly captured that trace of space-time disturbance from the River of Time."

Sun Wukong listened intently from the side, unable to help but interrupt: "What did he see?"

Taiyi turned to look at Sun Wukong: "He saw some scattered fragments in the barrier. He saw a human wearing green robes, saw a golden-armored ape holding an iron rod. He saw Mount Buzhou collapse, saw the extermination of the Demon Clan... and a secret he didn't even tell me until the end."

Taiyi's gaze fell back onto Su Chen, his expression becoming extremely complex.

"Big Brother believed that what he deduced was not a delusion. Before he went to his death, he told me that ripples had risen downstream in the River of Time, and two variables that did not belong to that era were watching us, and one of them carried the hope of the future."

"Therefore, at the last moment, Big Brother stripped away a wisp of his own Sun True Fire origin, sealed it deep in the Lunar Star, and entrusted it to Chang Xi. He said that someone would come to take that wisp of Sun Divine Fire origin in the distant future. Because Big Brother determined that the person who took the Sun True Fire would be the hope of the Demon Clan's future!"

Speaking of this, Taiyi stared at Su Chen; he had long since sensed the aura of Sun True Fire on Su Chen.

Hearing this, Su Chen was struck by lightning.

A stormy sea instantly surged in his mind.

Back then on the Lunar Star, Chang Xi's cold voice echoed in his ears once again.

"He told me that after endless years, a 'fated person' would come to this Lunar Star to take the final legacy he left behind."

"He said that this person might leave a piece of pure land for the Demon Clan in the future."

Su Chen stood frozen in place.

When he heard these words on the Lunar Star back then, he only felt his hair stand on end.

He thought he had been swept into a massive vortex that spanned Primordial history.

He thought his identity as a transmigrator, and even the existence of the 【Heavenly Secret Treasure Mirror】, had long been calculated to death by those high-and-mighty Great Abilities.

He had always lived in this fear of his fate being controlled by others, walking on thin ice.

But now, everything was clear.

There was no supreme Great Ability calculating him in the ancient times at all!

The truth was that he had come to the North Sea Continent, mistakenly entered the space-time barrier, and his actions within the barrier triggered the space-time disturbance.

Di Jun of the ancient era captured this disturbance, saw his figure, and thus left the Sun True Fire on the Lunar Star.

And he, because he went to the Lunar Star, obtained the Sun True Fire, and finally had the ability to come to the North Sea Continent and step into this barrier!

The place of origin is the way home; karma is mutually the beginning and the end.

This is a perfect space-time closed loop! It was he himself who achieved this segment of karma!

"Hoo—"

Su Chen raised his head, exhaling a long, turbid breath.

The depressed energy that had been suppressing him for several hundred years, the giant stone hanging in his heart, shattered with a crash at this moment.

"Hahaha..."

Su Chen suddenly laughed, starting with a low chuckle, then the laughter grew louder and louder, carrying endless pleasure and relief.

He no longer needed to be fearful, no longer needed to be cautious.

He was not a chess piece on the board to be manipulated by others!

Sun Wukong scratched his cheeks, full of confusion: "Little brother, what are you laughing at? Have you gone mad?"

Su Chen stopped laughing, brilliant light shooting from his eyes, his posture as straight as a pine: "Monkey brother, I am laughing at the mystery of the Great Dao, laughing that I have finally seen the way I came!"

As his mental knot was completely untied, earth-shaking changes occurred within Su Chen's body.

In his dantian, the Hunyuan Jin Dan spun crazily.

On the surface of the Jin Dan, the complex Dao patterns of the newly born Hunyuan Great Dao were rapidly completed.

Su Chen's aura surged, and a Hunyuan aura that was perfect, flawless, and transcended the Five Elements and Yin/Yang permeated his body.

The bottleneck of the Taiyi Jin Xian was completely stepped over in the moment his thoughts became clear.

He only needed to find a place for seclusion to naturally condense his Great Luo Dao Fruit and prove the Great Luo Jinxian!

Taiyi watched Su Chen break through quietly, a flash of undisguised appreciation in his eyes.

"Good comprehension. Big Brother really did not misjudge the person."

Taiyi withdrew his gaze, looking up at the void above.

The space all around began to ripple like water waves, and the scouring power of the River of Time became stronger and stronger.

Mottled light and shadows hit Taiyi's tattered Jin Wu imperial robes.

This figure of the once-dominant Eastern Emperor, who had once dominated the Primordial, was now beginning to turn illusory and transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A desolation of a hero in his twilight years permeated the grey-white space.

"This space-time barrier cannot last much longer," Taiyi's voice carried deep exhaustion. "This Emperor borrowed a wisp of the Chaos Bell's residual origin to linger in this void until now. Not for anything else, but to see with my own eyes what the variable that Big Brother died to deduce really looks like."

Taiyi lowered his head, looking at his hands that were gradually turning into golden light spots.

"Now that I have seen it, Big Brother was not wrong. This long wait was worth it."

Sun Wukong watched Taiyi's dissipating figure, putting away his usual unruliness; he admired the strong, and Taiyi's dominance and determination won his respect.

"Senior..." Sun Wukong opened his mouth, but did not know what to say.

Taiyi turned his head, those majestic golden eyes staring fixedly at Su Chen and Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong felt his golden fur stand on end under the gaze, and his magic power at the peak of the Great Luo Jinxian operated instinctively.

"Why are you looking at us two?" Sun Wukong bared his teeth.

"Su Chen," Taiyi's voice was low, carrying majesty and heaviness that could not be resisted. "Since you have accepted the cause left by Big Brother, taken the Sun True Fire, and accepted the legacy of the Demon Clan's fortune."

"Today, you must accept the fruit of this Demon Clan, and I will also help you." ===== CHAPTER 395 =====
