Chapter 149

Sun Wukong's heart‑rending howl transformed into the purest Equal Heaven Dao Rhythm.

Like a branding iron that has burned for hundreds of millions of years in the Chaos Realm!

It bears no trace of worldly air.

Yet it is overbearing to the extreme!

Fiercely!

It was branded onto that seed, the Void Seed wrapped layer upon layer by the Faith Power of countless living beings!

"Hum—!"

That Dao Seed, dormant for endless ages, suddenly, violently, quivered!

It has slept for too long.

It has been polluted for too long by this world's boundless Faith Power.

So long that it almost forgot who it was.

But!

It still recognizes!

How could it possibly not recognize!

That aura—unruly, lawless, daring to challenge Heaven itself!

It is the other half, born and accompanying the Void!

It is the meaning of its existence!

It is the disciple it has waited for an age!

"No……no!!!"

"Creator God", for the first time, the face woven of light showed an expression named "terror"!

He felt it!

His core, his foundation, the source of all his power!

That Dao Seed, which he had stolen and prided himself on!

Unexpectedly...

It unexpectedly began to spiral out of control!

"Suppress it!!!"

"Creator God" panicked completely!

He could no longer spare any attention to suppress Sun Wukong.

Instead, he frantically mobilized all the Faith Power of this universe!

Like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, he slammed it violently against his core, that Dao Seed throbbing violently!

He intended to use the world's Obedience!

To once again suppress that faintly awakened will of Freedom!

But!

Too late!

Everything is too late!

The moment Sun Wukong's cry of "Master" crossed time and space, branding the Dao Seed!

It had already awakened!

It remembered!

It remembered what it truly was!

"Void!"

It has never represented some damned "unified will"!

Nor does it represent the cold Obedience of toying with countless living beings in the palm of one's hand!

"Void" is the "end" of all things!

It is the destination of everything!

It is the Great Liberation that lets all things return to the origin and begin anew!

Great Freedom!

Great Unrestraint!

"Boom——!!!!"

A surge of Dao Rhythm, vast and starkly opposite to the Creator God's Rainbow Faith Power!

A pure, extreme force that seeks to turn all things back into nothing!

It burst forth from within the Dao Seed with a thunderous roar!

"Ah——!!!!"

"Creator God", his towering divine form tens of thousands of feet high, suddenly froze!

Immediately after!

He let out a wail more painful and shrill than any before!

His body!

Formed from the most devout Faith of countless living beings, his immortal divine body!

Began to collapse uncontrollably!

Those dazzling, rainbow lights were like snow meeting its nemesis!

Being wildly devoured and purified by that pure Void power!

Chunk by chunk, the rainbow fragments representing 'Faith' peeled off from his body.

Then, in mid-air, they were completely annihilated by that 'void' power, reduced to nothing!

His power was swiftly fading!

His existence was being erased bit by bit from the root!

【Why......】

【Why would this happen......】

"Creator God," that grand Dao Sound, for the first time, carried incomprehensible confusion and despair.

【I... I clearly possess the power of the whole world!】

【I am the 'Principle' of this world!】

【Why......】

【Will be defeated by your mere individual will!!!!】

He couldn't figure it out!

He would never figure it out!

"Because......"

Sun Wukong slowly rose from the posture of kneeling on one knee.

His spine, which had almost been bent by the world's malice!

At this moment, he straightened up again!

Like a spear that pierced the azure sky, unyielding!

He lifted his head; in his golden eyes was reflected the gigantic figure of the Creator God, rapidly collapsing.

His voice, calm.

Yet it was filled with endless overbearingness!

"Your 'Dao' is stolen, it's fake."

"So, you will never understand."

Sun Wukong grinned; that smile held the arrogance of looking down on the Three Realms.

"And my old Sun's 'Dao'..."

"It's myself!"

"One strike!"

"One strike!"

"From the Southern Heaven Gate, all the way to the Lingxiao Hall!"

"Forcefully!"

"Blasted out!!!!"

Words!

Fell down!

"Creator God"'s colossal divine form could no longer be maintained!

"Boom——!!!!!"

Accompanied by a sound, the tremendous roar that echoed throughout the entire consciousness universe!

He, his body constructed of faith, completely exploded!

There was no energy residual.

Nor was there any law storm.

He merely turned into a sky-full of rainbow light dots.

Like a meteor shower of extreme splendor.

These light dots are the purest faith extracted from the countless living beings of this world by him.

They circled once in the void.

Then they all flew back toward the direction they came from.

However, this time.

Within that pure seven-colored light.

Yet, they were subtly tinged with streaks of rebellious black-gold by Sun Wukong's 'irrational' Dao Rhythm.

They will return to the hearts of their respective owners.

Then, a seed named 'Doubt' was planted.

Perhaps, from now on.

When they face the lofty deities.

They will ask one more question in their hearts……

On what basis?

Along with the false god's complete dissipation.

That terrifying will oppressing the entire world also vanished like smoke.

The temple began to collapse.

The throne turned into nothingness.

Only a pure Dao Seed remained, emitting incomparably gentle and affectionate light.

It silently hovered in mid-air.

Sun Wukong just stared at it, dumbfounded.

It seemed as if he saw, back then, on Fangcun Mountain.

That one, who taught him Somersault Cloud, taught him Seventy-two Transformations, would tap his head three times with a ruler… Master.

His eye sockets felt somewhat hot.

He stretched out that hand, which gripped the Golden Cudgel, shattering the hands of the gods and Buddhas that filled the sky.

He trembled slightly.

He headed toward that seed, the Dao Seed that represented the Master's last hope.

He slowly reached out.
