Chapter 824: Hometown Status

"To block the strike of the wriggling thing just now, an infinite number of Known Lands in the Da Xu Kong have been destroyed, and countless Da Xu Kong Wills that symbolize these Known Lands have also died."

"It can be said that the countless layers of shields just now symbolized countless versions of us, so we also died countless times just now."

"We did not use any Secret Technique power to block the attack of that wriggling thing, but used our lives as a means of consumption. If we use the metaphor of mortal warfare, it is using an infinite number of flesh and blood bodies to resist a torrent of steel."

The Da Xu Kong Will said indifferently.

But no matter who it was, they could feel the heaviness behind these words. Every tiny achievement was paved with countless victims, which was despairing.

Li Heng was silent for a moment, then he spoke.

"This is not a solution."

"Yes, it is indeed not a solution; otherwise, the Known Land that was once vast and boundless, connected as one, and truly capable of contending with the Unknown sea would not be torn apart today."

The Da Xu Kong Will admitted frankly.

"So, do you have a solution?"

Li Heng asked.

"To be honest, no. The Cradle Project of the past has also shattered along with the uselessness of the Dao Lord Realm; now the path ahead remains dim and Unknown, without a glimmer of light to be seen."

"But isn't this just waiting for death?"

"You are not wrong; it is indeed waiting for death. However, after countless ages, we have always been waiting for death, so why care about this bit of time? We will always be able to see the path ahead."

The Da Xu Kong Will said.

Li Heng opened his mouth, but felt it was somewhat inappropriate; he did not know whether to cry or laugh at this moment.

From the mouth of the Da Xu Kong Will, he could hear that these Da Xu Kong Wills were not urgent and should still have plenty of leeway. But the sad thing was that this leeway was actually exchanged with lives, actually exchanged with these infinite Known Lands.

How ridiculous is this?

When sacrifice is considered a matter of course.

How desperate is this?

Over countless ages, all the Da Xu Kong Wills combined could not think of any way to solve the Calamity and the monsters.

It is like falling into a bottomless Abyss, in a process of infinite falling; as time passes, one will only fall deeper and deeper, and it will be difficult to climb out again.

In the end, if one falls to the very bottom, under the impact force added by that infinite depth, even the entire Da Xu Kong would be smashed to pieces, right? This is too much like a dull knife cutting flesh!

"Listening to you say this, has the offensive of the Calamity monsters slowed down?"

Li Heng thought for a moment; he had to say something after all.

Since a Great Tribulation had erupted in the past, causing the Known Land to shatter into Known Islands scattered in the infinite Unknown sea, the current situation should be even worse.

"Perhaps it has slowed down?"

"Or perhaps there is simply nothing worse."

The answer from the Da Xu Kong Will was very ambiguous and unclear.

"However, these are not things you should focus on. After all, you must know that under the premise of not walking the Great Void Path, no matter how powerful you are, it is of no avail."

"Those Calamity monsters are existences equal to, or even surpassing, the Da Xu Kong. We do not believe that you, who walk the Outer Path of the Transcendence Path, are qualified to solve these matters."

They said their views on Li Heng in unison.

Li Heng smiled and shook his head.

"To be honest, your provocation is not very clever. After all, you are very clear about my uniqueness as an individual; I possess the power to contend with the Calamity monsters, and even surpass them."

"You cannot ignore me."

The Da Xu Kong Will was silent for a moment.

It was indeed as Li Heng said; it was impossible to ignore him.

"You are quite right; you are indeed our key focus now, but it is limited to just focus. After all, you are too weak now, and your starting point is too low. If you cannot obtain the one-step ascension blessing of the Great Void Power, then what does it matter if you are special?"

The Da Xu Kong Will said slowly.

"I think what you said is wrong, or rather, you are still provoking me. The power I possess exceeds the Da Xu Kong and exceeds your cognition. If you were truly smart, you would know that you should not use everything that is Known to judge me."

"Or is it that you haven't investigated my past clearly?"

Li Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and said softly.

"We have seen your past. Although there seems to be a layer of mist, looking like flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water, and we do not know the details, we can still see the general trend."

The Da Xu Kong Will replied.

Li Heng nodded upon hearing this.

"That is natural. I have never hidden my past, and I will not cut off my past or hide my history like others do, turning it into so-called first playthroughs or second playthroughs."

"Of course, doing this also has some of my own purposes, such as wanting to see who can actually know my past and finally figure out where my mysterious hometown is."

He said with a smile, finally bringing up this topic.

"As the combined Will of the Da Xu Kong, do you know?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Da Xu Kong Will fell into a long silence.

"Could it be that it involves some secret that cannot be spoken?"

Li Heng raised an eyebrow and said.

He had always hated riddle-makers, but he kept encountering them. After doing so several times, he had become somewhat accustomed to it. So if the Da Xu Kong kept saying it could not be spoken, he also felt it was normal.

"It's not that it can't be spoken, it's just..."

"Your hometown is indeed a bit strange..."

"How should I put it, it's just that very special kind..."

"Honestly, I thought and thought, but I never expected that you would come from there, though just thinking about it, it doesn't feel strange..."

The Da Xu Kong Will spoke, its tone not quite the same as before.

The only thing that might be the same was that it was somewhat surprised.

"Since you know, I ask you all to speak it out. Perhaps after learning the truth, I might change my mind, give up walking the Transcendence Path, and switch to the Great Void Path, who knows."

Li Heng laughed aloud.

He naturally would not change his own path because of a few words; at most, he would let a clone walk it. However, this was just fishing for information, so using some rhetoric was acceptable.

"You are all too dawdling, why not let me speak!"

The nascent Great Void will, which had first made contact with Li Heng and was born because of him, popped out, its tone very impatient and irritable.

"Then you speak; you are the most familiar with him."

The other Great Void wills agreed.

"Alright then, I will just say it directly: the hometown where you are currently does not exist," the nascent Great Void will said.

Li Heng frowned.

"What do you mean? Is it in the future? But this shouldn't be considered anything special, right? Past, present, and future—matters of the timeline can be easily transcended once one reaches the Sacred Realm."

"Correct, what you say is very right."

"That is precisely why it is peculiar."

The nascent Great Void will agreed and said.

"Your hometown belongs to a superposition of existence and non-existence!"
