Chapter 259

That line 'It's all too noisy' was like an edict from the Nine Deep Abyss.

- "Nine Deep Abyss": Nine Abyss? Actually "Nine Deep Abyss" maybe "Nine Deep Abyss". Not in glossary. It's a place? Could be a named place: "Nine Deep Abyss". Should we translate? It's not in glossary, so translate meaning: "Nine Deep Abyss". Not a named entity? It's a place name; we should translate. Not include in glossary because not in given list.

Backed by an indisputable absolute will, it instantly froze the entire battlefield.

- No new.

Whether it was the fervent 'Variable' army or the icy 'Fixed Number' Regulator,

- "Variable" is a term; "Fixed Number" is in the glossary; "Regulator" should be translated as "Regulator" (meaning "Emissary of Law" or "Regulator"). It's not a proper name.

At that moment, every action paused for a mere one‑ten‑thousandth of a second.

- No.

Beyond the Star Sea, Sun Wukong gripped his Golden Cudgel and clenched his hand tightly.

- "Star Sea" (Star Sea) in glossary. "Sun Wukong" (Sun Wukong) in glossary. "Golden Cudgel" (Golden Cudgel) in glossary.

He fixed his stare on that pale figure, his Fiery Golden Eyes blazing.

- "Fiery Golden Eyes" (Fiery Golden Eyes) in glossary.

For the first time, besides anger, there was also a hint of something indescribably complex.

- No.

This guy called 'Jì'...

What the hell does he want to do?

Inside Zi Xiao Gong, Hóngjūn Dàozǔ's complexion could no longer be described as gloomy.

He watched the enforcers he had created, like puppets with their pause button pressed, and then watched the one who refused to obey orders,

Instead, he became the pawn that was the focus of the whole scene, a surge of anger from betrayal and deception rushing straight to his heavenly spirit!

Trash!

This trash who can't even grasp his own Dao!

At the end of the path of reincarnation, on the Tathagata's aberrant Golden Body, the upward curve at the corners of his mouth grew even greater.

What a great show!

Dogs biting dogs, a mouthful of fur.

Let them fight; it'd be best if they beat each other to death.

In the end, this clean 'dining table' will ultimately be enjoyed by him.

On the battlefield, the focus of all gazes, Jì, finally moved again.

He paid no heed to the fanatics shouting about spreading 'Freedom'.

Nor did he look at those enforcers carrying out 'Order'.

He slowly turned his body, his hollow eyes gazing toward the 'Tranquil Star' that had just been hurling bone-deep hatred curses at him.

The world, cowering behind the shattered barrier, was filled with Fear Heart Demon, despair, and weak Living Beings.

Xióng bà and the others stared for a moment, then burst into even more arrogant laughter.

"Hahaha! See? This guy's scared!"

"He doesn't dare oppose our 'Freedom Front'! He's going to go after soft targets!"

"Coward! Weakling!"

Their mockery was unrestrained.

In their eyes, Jì's move clearly stemmed from fear of their strength, as he turned his blade toward the weaker.

Even the Living Beings in the Tranquil Star burst into even more despairing wails.

"Demon! You demon!"

"Don't come over!"

They couldn't understand why, after just having "saved" their existence, in the blink of an eye he turned that icy blade toward himself.

At this moment, whether perpetrator or victim, they all regarded Jì as the enemy.

He stepped onto a path that no side understood, a lonely road.

But his heart was extraordinarily resolute.

Because all he wanted...

To guard that final peace.

Under the gaze of all existence, Jì slowly raised the Blade of Terminus in his hand toward that small world.

No killing intent.

No malice.

Only a pure, absolute Deathly Silence.

Outside the Star Sea, Sun Wukong's pupils suddenly contracted!

"Stop!"

He let out a violent shout, the Golden Cudgel in his hand instinctively ready to smash outward!

But he ultimately held back.

Reason told him that now was not the time.

But watching helplessly as an innocent world was about to be destroyed before his eyes by this madman,

His 'Equal Heaven' Dao Heart was enduring a never-before-experienced torment!

"Hum—"

The Blade of Terminus trembled slightly.

A pitch-black ripple, centered on Jì, spread soundlessly toward the Tranquil Star.

That was not an attack.

It was more like a kind of... comfort.

Where the ripple passed, time seemed to be infinitely stretched, eventually coming to a standstill.

In the Tranquil Star, all Living Beings' motions froze.

The old man who had been wailing in despair, his expression remained frozen in the final moment of fear.

The child who had been frightened into collapsing on the ground still had helpless tears lingering in his eyes.

Their lives had not been taken away.

Their Línghún were not obliterated.

They just... fell asleep.

They fell into an eternal, undisturbed, absolutely tranquil sleep.

The laws of that world were forcibly solidified.

All 'variables' were completely isolated.

There, it became an absolute quiet amber.

Ji brought them what he considered the ultimate 'compassion' and 'tranquility'.

After doing all this, Ji slowly lowered the short blade in his hand.

He was like a ghost, a solitary artisan, having just completed a work that satisfied himself.

He wandered through this chaos, not for slaughter, not for destruction.

Only for the Dao in his heart.

However, his Dao made all present feel a chill rising from the depths of their souls.

What... what the hell is this!

Xiong Ba and his fanatical followers were completely dumbfounded.

The power they prided themselves on, capable of destroying stars, was just a joke before that pallid man.

And the means he displayed were even beyond their comprehension.

Not killing, yet it made people feel more Fear Heart Demon than killing!

Outside the Star Sea, Sun Wukong's chest heaved violently, a mouthful of steel teeth almost shattered.

Damn!

What the hell is this twisted heresy!

Depriving them of the power to resist, depriving them of the power of Fear Heart Demon, even depriving them of the power of death!

Turning them into living specimens, is this what is called 'tranquility'?

This is even more nauseating than Hongjun's cold-blooded 'order' to this old Sun!

Anger!

Unprecedented anger!

Sun Wukong felt for the first time that, besides Hongjun and the Tathagata, there was now another guy who deserved to be beaten to death with a stick!

Meanwhile, in the Zi Xiao Gong.

On Hóngjūn Dàozǔ's face also appeared extreme disgust.

"Madman..."

He whispered.

The 'order' he pursued was built upon absolute control, making everything run according to his script.

But Ji's 'end' sought to drag everything into that eternal deathly silence.

One wants the pieces on the board to move according to his rules.

The other wants to bury the entire board outright!

Different Daos!

They do not scheme together!

"Since you are so useless, there is no need for you to exist."

A flash of killing intent crossed Hongjun's eyes as he prepared to use the Heavenly Dao Authority to completely erase this out-of-control pawn.

But just then!

That ever-watching, lazy and playful voice again resonated without warning in the sea of consciousness of every Supreme Existence.

"Oh my, you really opened my eyes."

"Turns out, the concept of 'living' can have so many strange interpretations."

"One seeks absolute order, one seeks absolute freedom, and another... seeks absolute tranquility."

"You all have quite the ideas."

That voice was full of undisguised, condescending mockery.

"Too bad..."

"Your 'ideas' are all built upon an erroneous foundation."

The words had not yet faded.

A hand.

An indescribably huge hand, seemingly condensed from billions of stars, glittering, suddenly stretched out from the endless void!

Its target was not Sun Wukong.

Not Hongjun.

Nor those Regulators or fanatics.

Its five fingers fell like heavenly pillars, precisely aiming at the solitary pallid figure in the battlefield's center—Ji—and grabbed him!

"In my 'fishing ground,' only one kind of 'thought' can become truth."

"That is, my thought."

"You little thing clamoring for 'tranquility' has a rather special scent."

"Come here, let me study you properly."
