He and Venerable Nu sat at the edge of the mountain peak, letting the fierce winds blow against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was autumn; in the distance, maple trees swayed in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vast spread of crimson leaves drifted through the air, covering the ground in a thick layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When the sword is finished, you’ll be leaving, won’t you?” Venerable Nu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo nodded slightly, smiling. “There’s no meaning in staying here.

Don’t stumble in some gutter,” Venerable Nu warned. “No matter when or where, never forget, you are a student who once walked out from Celestial Dao Academy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much do you know of the past?” Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The past? What do you mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The founder of the Desolate Era,” Xu Zimo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean the Holy Progenitor?” Venerable Nu was startled, then asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was well-known that the history of the Primordial Heartlands was divided into three great periods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Legendary Era, the Desolate Era, and the Imperial Era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial Era had been founded by the True Martial Celestial Ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the records of history, the opening of the Legendary Era was already obscure, but it was ended by the War God, who brought the twilight of the gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the founder of the Desolate Era was the Holy Progenitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Flower Valley, blossoms bloomed and withered again. The man who carried the True God Sword walked out of the valley, and from then on opened an entire new age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He established the Ancient Celestial Court, suppressed one era after another, and in the end, vanished into the mists of history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he left behind in the world was only the True God Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have left all my treasures and secrets within the Ancient Celestial Court, and the True God Sword is the key to reaching it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From then on, this legend was passed down across the Primordial Heartlands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who tended the flowers was revered as the Holy Progenitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for his identity, later generations speculated endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some said he was the incarnation of the beast race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could the beast race have flourished during the Desolate Era, suppressing all other races?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others said he was human, only that the Holy Progenitor had always been fair, never taking part in the struggles between races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rise of the beast race, they claimed, had nothing to do with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve asked the right person,” Venerable Nu chuckled. “For a time, I specifically studied the history of our Primordial Heartlands. I’ve read through all the ancient records in the academy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then do you know where the Ancient Celestial Court lies?” Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean to go there?” Venerable Nu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw Xu Zimo nod, he continued, “Though I can’t be one hundred percent sure, by my estimate, the Ancient Celestial Court should be within the Blood Rune Domain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The place where the Blood Rune Beasts are sealed?” Xu Zimo was slightly startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that if all went smoothly, the True God Sword would surely be reforged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as for the location of the Ancient Celestial Court, he still had no certainty, for he hadn’t deeply studied the Desolate Era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it seems even the Holy Progenitor had his little schemes,” Xu Zimo laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Blood Rune Domain, if one wanted to enter the Ancient Celestial Court, one would first have to slay the Blood Rune Beasts guarding its periphery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when the War God ended the twilight of the gods, with no gods remaining, these Blood Rune Beasts had nearly ruled the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their strength needed no explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Holy Progenitor’s seal, it was only a matter of time before it would be broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Rock Solid had been using the Nine-Curve God Flame to melt the fragments for nearly seven hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky overhead was gradually darkening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fragments of the True God Sword were beginning to glow red-hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Divine Hammer,” Rock Solid called again, waving his right hand. The Supreme God Hammer, bearing overwhelming might, descended into his grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took the hammer and struck heavily upon the heated fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of pounding, “boom, boom, boom,” rang out above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo knew that this hammering was not to alter the True God Sword’s appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was to cleanse the impurities, reforging the cracks in the fragments, so that it could be made whole again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the heavens, the moon shone bright and gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The autumn night was cool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo leaned against a massive boulder, watching Rock Solid’s busy figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the hammering continued bit by bit, the five fragments fused once more, and the cracks upon them gradually disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock Solid hammered for an entire night. By the time dawn broke the next day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fire dragon suddenly soared into the sky. With a light cry from him, “Sword soul, go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword soul of the True God Sword was directly infused into the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All things have spirit; the sword soul was its essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the soul entered, the heavens seemed to sense something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skies instantly shifted, winds and thunder transforming. Dark clouds replaced the blue sky and white clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a massive vortex, black clouds churned overhead, slowly rotating counterclockwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within that vortex, lightning began to spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was lightning of a gray hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It carried the aura of destruction and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning gathered bit by bit, and even the faint traces that leaked out carried astonishing power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is… Chaos God Tribulation,” Xu Zimo muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew well, for his Heavenly Tribulation God-Eyes had three layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strongest among them was precisely the Chaos God Tribulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one understood better than him the terrifying power of such lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seems this will be tricky,” Xu Zimo stood up and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve heard heavenly tribulations are divided into nine tiers. I wonder how many levels this one will draw,” Venerable Nu said, also rising to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter how many levels, we must protect Rock Solid,” Xu Zimo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Sword God Spirit fused with the True God Sword...\u003C\u002Fp>",1293,"2026-06-06T01:06:59.238Z",1,"novelbin.me","fa3c958933404684ff63dc9a3320c00ca491acd17b4454ef452a26980355ce08","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-918","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-916",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
