Chapter 1860: with translation of chapter title

Huaguo Shan is a very large divine mountain, located overseas of Dongsheng Shenzhou.

It is said that it was originally the peak tip of Dashumi Shan, but due to the collapse of Dashumi Shan, it broke off and fell into the sea, becoming an island that lies right next to Dongsheng Shenzhou.

On this mountain there once was an Immortal Stone that, after a long time sensing the power of heaven and earth, was nourished by the essence of the sun and moon, conceived an immortal embryo, and transformed into an Immortal Monkey, namely Sun Wukong.

However, that was a long time ago; now this place has become a Scenic Area, with many tourists and many monkeys.

That gang of mischievous monkeys will also snatch tourists' belongings; they especially like to cling to the thighs of Fairy Maidens to beg for food, and if not given food they refuse to let go, with a very bad attitude!

Han Zichen is not coming here for the first time; a Fairy Maiden as beautiful as she is most easily surrounded and robbed by the monkey troop. Experienced as she is, she directly emanates a strong and fierce Sword Cultivator aura, the strength of an 840th Level Heavy Cultivation Supreme God, scaring the monkeys to howl and run away from afar, not daring to approach at all.

Xiao Feng, under her guidance, has toured many places.

Huaguo Shan is vast, with many immortals and demon cultivators residing here; occasionally they set up altars to lecture and impart immortal arts.

Although immortals and demons follow different paths, all beings are fundamentally the same; the atmosphere here is very harmonious, with no discord arising from different species, everyone lives in peace and coexists peacefully.

The story of this major region has already concluded; there are no major villains left in the world, and although disputes still exist, they are merely minor squabbles.

Han Zichen has changed her name, but she cannot shake off her identity as a savior; wherever she goes, she is very popular.

Not only do wild monkeys want to hug her thigh, but the cultivators and demon cultivators in the mountains also all very much want to befriend her.

On the contrary, Xiao Feng, this god-king, is clearly handsome and possesses a powerful aura, yet he is repeatedly overlooked, his presence extremely faint.

Han Shan Zha and Xiao Ning Meng walked along, having seen the remains of the Immortal Stone that nurtured the immortal embryo; they strolled through the Water Curtain Cave, chatted with the demon monkeys for a while, then went up the mountain to pick some peaches, apples, and hawthorns to eat.

Whenever they passed a place, Han Zichen would, to the best of her ability, explain to Xiao Feng her knowledge of the area, just like a genuine Guide.

After touring for two or three hours, they finally finished viewing the mountain scenery and returned to Near Teleportation Array.

"Where would you like to go next?" Han Shan Zha asked.

Xiao Feng actually wanted to return to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, still keeping in mind the matter of 10 billion spirit stones and Xun Shuang Xianzi.

However, seeing Han Zichen's enthusiastic demeanor, she hasn't had enough of being a guide, and it would also be bad to spoil her enthusiasm.

So, after looking at the map, he replied, "Let's go check out Leiyin Temple."

"Hmm, okay!"

The two immediately teleported, heading straight for Xitian Ling Shan where Leiyin Temple is located.

Ling Shan is vast, even larger than Huaguo Shan.

This place was once the authority and faith center of Xiniu Hezhou.

However, it is now utterly dilapidated, turning into a barren wasteland.

The reason is simple: the site of the plot's decisive battle is right here.

Han Shan Zha, leading Xiao Ning Meng, stepped off from the Mountain Base and flew upward, circling the towering, majestic mountain body.

Along the way, whenever they encountered some pits and depressions, she would give a brief introduction.

"To me, that battle was just less than two years ago. But for those who haven't gone to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, it has already been twenty years."

"Back then, the conspiracy of the Western Heaven was thoroughly investigated by me, Danyang Xiong, and Yunlong Xiong; the strong ones from the Four Seas Four Continents and the Nine Heavens Ten Earths all came, and even those Dao Sect Eminent Persons who had long known the truth also appeared, jointly attacking all Buddhas."

"That battle was magnificent and vast. Perhaps it wasn't as earth-shattering as Brother Dao's lone fight against the Venerable, but for the Four Continents world, it was a battle of extraordinary significance, an ancient and decisive clash. It was a Dao Orthodoxy Struggle, also a Righteous vs Evil War, and furthermore it was the answer that players sought after examining countless clues."

Han Zichen was deeply immersed, as if she had returned to the moment when the great battle had just begun.

Xiao Feng said, "It's a pity I couldn't participate; otherwise I would also like to witness the might of the Western Heaven's Buddhas."

Han Zichen chuckled lightly: "If you had come, my merit would be gone."

"Haha, I can strike lightly." Xiao Feng said.

Han Zichen sighed: "If we had someone as strong as you, we could die many fewer times. In that battle, I alone died over ten times, and Danyang Xiong and the others suffered even more horribly, with a death count not less than that. Look at that Big Pit over there—that's where I smashed it with my body, having taken a Tathagata Great Palm Seal; even now thinking about it hurts."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng looked downward and indeed saw a Palm Print on the mountainside, with a small depression at its center; this must be the mark left by Han Zichen's body.

And Palm Seal, Depression like these are everywhere on Ling Shan.

In the Final Battle, the number of Players and NPCs slapped to death by the Xitian Tathagata is estimated to be not less than a hundred million, maybe eighty million.

"Many NPCs and plot stories have real-world prototypes for reference; I wonder whether the story of this Xitian Ling Shan also once took place in the real world." Xiao Feng said somewhat curiously.

"It did happen." Han Zichen nodded, quite certain.

"Oh? Specifically, how was it?" Xiao Feng asked curiously.

Han Zichen explained: "There is such a story circulating in Kyushu. Once there was a foreign powerhouse named Moluo Zhenzhu who disguised himself as a human, spreading the Buddhist Dao Orthodoxy in our world, seizing faith and Qi Luck. At first the Primordial Ancestors paid him no heed, but later he intensified his efforts, even slaughtering the Earth Plane outside Kyushu, offering it as a sacrifice to the Lord of Evil. Afterwards he further contacted foreign powerhouses for a large-scale invasion, seizing Kyushu's Qi Luck..."

Xiao Feng furrowed his brow.

Even the Qi Luck was taken away, and a Planet was slaughtered—this is somewhat tragic.

Moreover, was it offered as a sacrifice to the Lord of Evil?

Isn't the Lord of Evil on good terms with humanity?

Han Zichen continued: "Later our people rose two new Primordial Ancestor-level powerhouses—the Lord of All Things and the Lord of Time—who strongly reclaimed the Qi Luck and gave the foreign race a harsh lesson. Moluo Zhenzhu, that big-eared thief, was slain in one strike by the Lord of All Things, annihilating both form and spirit. Even the Lord of Evil became a friend of our people."

Only then did Xiao Feng suddenly understand.

This history should have taken place over four million years ago; the ones who rose then are precisely the present Creator God and Lord of Time Chen Jie.

The Myriad Heavens game world was designed by the Creator God, who directly mapped part of the content of that ancient battle into the game as the storyline backdrop for a certain major region of humanity—this also makes perfect sense.

"These stories should be very ancient; how do you know them so clearly?" Xiao Feng asked.

Han Zichen smiled enchantingly: "Because yesterday the Chiyou Emperor just gave me a full explanation."

Xiao Feng: …

He had thought this story was widely circulated, a folk legend that the people of Kyushu love to talk about.

He hadn't expected that she, too, had only just learned it.

At the summit of Ling Shan, Leiyin Temple is already a ruin, unreconstructed.

Nearby there are quite a few players, most of whom are here for tourism, while some are here to undertake missions, collecting residual Qi Luck, souls, and other mission items from this place.

Xiao Feng followed Han Zichen around in a circuit, then returned again to the Teleportation Array at the Mountain Base.

"Where to next?" This time it was Xiao Feng who asked her.

Han Zichen glanced at him, shook her head and said: "Not going, you're absent-minded; you must have something on your mind, better go attend to proper business. Enjoying the scenery doesn't need to be rushed; when you have free time, slowly appreciate it."

She is also a thoughtful person; after touring two places and spending four or five hours, she had long noticed that Xiao Feng had something on his mind.

Xiao Feng showed an embarrassed expression, explaining: "There's something I must attend to, weighing on my mind, making it hard to calm down and enjoy myself; fellow cultivator, please forgive me."

"It's fine, just go attend to your business. I'm merely here to act as a guide for a visit; obtaining the Devil Emperor Fist Inheritance is already a great boon." Han Zichen said with a smile.
