Chapter 768: War Does Not Exist, Peace Manifests

"Hmm, war?......."

Fate had intended to say a few more words. But he suddenly discovered that the situation and atmosphere at this moment were extremely wrong; someone was actually confronting War and had even suppressed it.

Furthermore, this person gave him a feeling that seemed somewhat familiar?

"You are... Fate! Quickly, save me!"

Feeling his own essence undergoing an irreversible change, War Calamity became completely panicked. Seeing Fate appear, he did not know why he loudly cried out for Fate to save him.

Li Heng raised an eyebrow and looked at the newly appeared Fate.

Another Calamity or monster?

No, this person's aura is very strange....

Hearing this, Fate furrowed his brows, then slowly relaxed them, revealing a sneer. "As a Calamity that wreaks havoc in the Great Void, you have a day like this too? You actually want to beg for help from a normal living being like me? It seems you have truly lost your mind; you have no reason left at all."

"No, you are my kind! You have already lost your way. But as long as you successfully rescue me and help me escape this current predicament, I can restore you to your true self, so you are no longer deceived."

War Calamity spoke in a hurry, feeling extremely urgent.

"Spreading fallacies to confuse the masses, ridiculous! I can be a Dao Lord, I can be the surviving trace of a Dao Lord, but I could never be any kind of 'kind' to you, falling into becoming a Calamity or a monster."

Fate flicked his sleeve, his momentum erupting and shattering space-time.

He cupped his hands toward Li Heng.

"This fellow Daoist, I wish you success in suppressing this fiend! Ensure he has nowhere to escape and can never cause any more accidents!"

Li Heng thought for a moment and waved his hand.

"Many thanks for this fellow Daoist's good intentions, but I do not need it for the time being. This War Calamity has already entered the urn; he cannot escape, so there is no need to worry about any accidents."

Fate frowned.

"Could it be that you, fellow Daoist, believe the words of this War Calamity? I have kindly offered to assist you, yet you distance yourself from me because of the one-sided words of this War Calamity. What kind of logic is this?"

"And where has the Sick Old Man of this place gone? Do you know, fellow Daoist!"

Li Heng smiled slightly.

"Whether I believe it or not, we can discuss that later. I simply do not want to take any unnecessary risks; my own strength is enough to crush and kill War Calamity. As for the Sick Old Man? He committed suicide."

"Is what you say true, fellow Daoist?"

Fate seemed stunned, remained silent for a moment, and then asked.

"Truth or falsehood is for you to discern, fellow Daoist; in any case, I will not lie to you." Li Heng responded with a smile and continued to focus on the suppression and transformation of War Calamity.

Fate revealed a look of suspicion.

With the Sick Old Man's personality, he would actually commit suicide? Could it be murder? But if the Sick Old Man did not want to die, who could kill him? This person before him?

This person indeed possesses considerable strength; being able to suppress a War Calamity that has not returned to its peak period, it is indeed possible he could kill the Sick Old Man.

But that is merely a possibility.

Moreover, even if this person killed the Sick Old Man, it would certainly have unfolded into a world-shaking battle. This battle would inevitably have spread throughout the multiple Realities of the Great Void and been sensed by him.

Yet he did not sense any movement of a battle involving the Sick Old Man.

And this person's way of speaking is also too arrogant.

He actually boasted that his own strength alone could crush and kill War Calamity? What kind of joke is this? War Calamity, even if not in its peak period, is still a Calamity; it simply cannot die. Where does this talk of "crushing and killing" come from? Being able to suppress it is already a stroke of good fortune.

"Fate, if you don't save me, you will fall into the same fate! This person is extremely terrifying; he is truly capable of killing me!"

War Calamity roared.

But Fate still did not make a move.

He had a guess in his heart at this moment: that all of this was a performance directed and acted by War Calamity himself. The sentence War Calamity just said proved this point.

Everyone knows that Calamity monsters are immortal and indestructible. But now, a living being has popped up who can slaughter a Calamity monster? How is that possible? It is absolutely a lie and a scam!

He strongly suspected that the Sick Old Man could no longer withstand the twisted mutation of War Calamity and had been devoured by the Calamity. Then, War Calamity realized he had arrived and specifically staged this play to delay time so he could completely break free from the seal.

After figuring this out, he felt calm and spoke loudly.

"What a fine play, unfortunately, it has already been seen through by me."

"However, War Calamity, you can rest assured. I will just wait for you to break the seal and see exactly how much weight you have, to be able to drag two Dao Lords to their deaths during your peak period!"

Having said this, he laughed heartily.

Having spread his Fate throughout the Great Void, his cultivation and combat power were no longer what they once were, far exceeding the time when he first left this Zhanchang. If the Sick Old Man were still alive today, he would certainly be able to defeat him. Why would he fear a War Calamity that had just broken free from its seal and failed to recover to its peak period?

Therefore, driven by some strange Source Power.

He continued to watch coldly from the sidelines.

"You bastard, what have you understood!"

Hearing such a reply, War Calamity was furious and roared, wishing he could immediately break free from Li Heng's suppression, pry open Fate's head, and see how it was grown inside.

A fine play, my foot! A Calamity is about to die! Do you understand or not!

Li Heng's expression was subtle.

This Fate seemed to have truly misunderstood something.

But this is also fine; let him focus on resolving the matter of this War Calamity first, then he would deal with this Fate.

Under the protection of Source Power, Li Heng's aura was restrained. Fate did not recognize him, but he was able to confirm Fate's identity through the aura on Fate's body.

It was precisely the mysterious person he had been tracking all along.

Seeing that Fate still did not make a move to help him, War Calamity gradually fell into despair. Even now, he could not figure out what kind of power could so unscrupulously modify his origin; this was absolutely not something that could be achieved by any Dao of Hongjun or Light of Hongjun.

In years past, he, War, had crushed countless peaces!

Regardless of which path of peace they upheld—the path of tranquility, the path of serenity, or even so-called love and justice—all were smashed to pieces under his iron cavalry of War.

But now....

As time slowly passed, the scales had completely tipped. War Calamity mustered his final strength to resist to the death, but in the end, he could only shake the Light of Hongjun slightly; he could not cause any impact at all on the Source Power mixed within it.

Finally, War Calamity fell into eternal silence.

"Thoroughly reformed... *cough*, indoctrination complete."

Li Heng muttered to himself.

"Who first awakens from the great dream? My life I know myself. Many thanks, fellow Daoist, for allowing me to awaken my true self. War no longer exists; only peace remains in the world. For this great kindness, I am willing to acknowledge you as my master."

The reformed War Calamity could now be called Peace.

Peace manifested the form of a young boy and kowtowed to Li Heng.

"What is the origin of the War Calamity? Do you know the truth about these Calamity monsters?"

Li Heng asked.

The reason he had gone to such great lengths to transform and reform the War Calamity was precisely because of this. Back then, the Infinite Mechanism was of too low a level to know the truth, but this War Calamity should know some information, right?
