Chapter 769: Mountain and Sea Great World

"Reporting to the Venerable One, the War Calamity originated from the Mountain and Sea Great World."

Heping answered honestly.

"Mountain and Sea Great World, what kind of place is that?"

Li Heng frowned and said.

There were countless places called the Mountain and Sea Great World; he could find infinite Worlds named Mountain and Sea Great World in the Great Void, so he needed an accurate coordinate or answer.

"I am not clear."

"In my memories, the War Calamity felt a summons from the dark, and then a very long memory gap appeared. I became a Calamity for no reason and appeared in the Great Void. As for the essence of Calamities and Strange, I am not very clear about it now either."

"I only know that this is a kind of 【Natural Disaster】."

Heping answered somewhat blankly.

"You cannot even determine if it is within the Great Void?"

Li Heng inquired.

Heping was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, and spoke.

"The remaining senses of the War Calamity tell me that it seems to be there, yet it also seems not to be there. Both possibilities seem to exist at the same time, which is very contradictory. I really am not very clear."

He paused and continued to speak.

"I suggest the Venerable One search my memories directly, because it seems that a portion of my memories is gradually disappearing and fading, and I cannot interfere with it at all."

"What?"

Li Heng frowned, pressed one hand on Heping's head, and began to search the memories within. He discovered that it was indeed as Heping had said; the memories were being affected by some kind of power and were slowly dissipating.

He tried to stop it, but found that the vast majority of his methods could not interfere at all. Only by using Source Power could he halt the fading of these memories, but it required a massive amount of Source Power every single moment, and even his own incomplete Source Power Authority could not make up for it; the consumption was immense.

Moreover, the form in which these memories were stored was very special and Strange.

He was completely unable to interpret them effectively.

Although he could use Source Power to analyze this situation, he found that his Source Power was already stretched thin at this moment. It was only when his Source Power hit rock bottom that he obtained a few scattered words.

"The world is a Divine Mountain, standing tall in the great sea, hence it is called Mountain and Sea..."

"What is this summons? As a spirit of the Mountain and Sea, why can I not understand it? But for some reason, I saw... No, I must go and search, search!"

"Am I crazy? Am I still me? Am I a Natural Disaster?"

"Where is this? The Great Void? What place is this? Familiar yet strange, am I in my hometown?... None of this matters anymore. I am a Natural Disaster, I am War, I shall sweep through everything..."

The scattered and incomplete information and words echoed in Li Heng's heart. Finally, due to the exhaustion of Source Power, Heping's memories regarding the war disappeared completely, and his gaze became dull and blank.

Li Heng fell into deep thought.

He was not in a hurry to think about what was behind this information.

Instead, he was thinking about the essence of that power which resisted the Source Power and caused the memories to dissipate. Because this was the first time he had seen the consumption of Source Power when resisting another power be so great; in the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, it had exhausted his immeasurable Source Power.

This was an extremely terrifying matter.

This was enough to show that the status of that power was extremely high; even if it were weaker than Source Power, it should be stronger than any other power! At least, that was what he believed for now.

"Heh, is your act finished?"

Suming sneered.

For some reason, although he felt this person was a bit familiar, he found the person before him increasingly unpleasant to look at. At first, he was even surprised why he would harbor such great malice toward a certain person.

But after thinking about it, this was also to be expected.

This person should be the War Calamity, and the matter before him was just a scheme set up by the War Calamity to deceive him. It was perfectly normal for him to loathe Calamity monsters.

Li Heng did not respond.

He looked at the blank-faced Heping, his brows tightly furrowed.

After that power took away the memories, did it also take away the will? He sensed that there was no longer anything on Heping that could be called consciousness; it was completely a dead object!

Then forget it.

After his Divine Sense swept over countless times and confirmed that his thoughts were not wrong, Li Heng regretfully dealt a killing blow to Heping, killing this physical boy form along with the surrounding abstract concepts.

He had transformed the War Calamity into Heping mainly to extract information. Now that he had only just extracted a tiny bit, Heping was finished and had turned into a dead object.

A concept that truly symbolized "Peace."

But this kind of concept did not have much meaning for him, so he simply made use of the waste, seeing if he could squeeze Source Power out of it, or even the Source Power Authority he wanted.

Hopefully that power did not take all those things away...

Li Heng sighed in his heart; this situation was too special.

When he had transformed the Self Calamity into the Infinite Mechanism, this kind of thing had never happened. Of course, this might also be related to the fact that the Self Calamity's level was too low, and he hadn't obtained any information from the Self Calamity at that time either.

The next moment, a sense arose in his mind. He had harvested an immeasurable amount of Source Power, as well as a piece of incomplete Source Power Authority that he wanted.

The two pieces of Source Power Authority he possessed fused and complemented each other, and the speed at which Source Power was born surged violently, faster than ever before. Furthermore, a mysterious and profound charm was also born.

It was just that Li Heng could not comprehend it.

However, he had a sense from the dark that as long as he could collect more Source Power Authority and perform fusion and completion, he would definitely be able to know what this charm represented and what it contained!

He lowered his head to look at his palm, where a wisp of Source Power rose, dancing and leaping continuously as if it possessed vitality, as if a sprite were showing Li Heng its own mysteries.

Source Power? What exactly is this?

Li Heng muttered to himself.

All along, he had known that Source Power existed but not why it existed, like a black box. But now, has the exploration of Source Power finally stepped onto the right track?

But why would Source Power Authority be obtained from Calamity monsters, and what is the relationship between these Calamities and monsters and Source Power? Is this situation unique to Calamity monsters, or will this situation appear as long as one's strength reaches a certain level?

Or perhaps none of this has anything to do with external things.

Is it purely because of himself?

Can he obtain Source Power of a certain level by killing living beings of that same level? Is the key not in the living beings, but in the act of hunting itself?

The more I know, the more doubts I have.

Li Heng felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

Perhaps, however, all things in this world are like this; one must rely on oneself to carve out a path from this endless mist of the Unknown, otherwise, one cannot take a single step.

"Silent? How laughable!"

"You may be preparing some trick, but I have already taken the time just now to set up the Heavenly Net, a Supreme Array, all around us. Even if you have broken free from the old man Bing's seal, you have merely walked into my seal; in the end, you still haven't escaped."

Su Ming spoke up.

Li Heng snapped back to his senses, looked at Su Ming, tilted his head, and spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Su Ming, don't you think your behavior is strange?"

"Are you a human or a ghost?"
