Chapter 243

Ding! You've wiped out all life in the Primordial Wasteland, totally destroying the 'Asura's Heaven-Mending Mechanism' that Minghe carefully arranged. Now you're ready to head into the starry sky to meet the Sage, trying to bluff your way through, with just the final step left to succeed.

Sage

【But the closer you get to success, the more cautious you become; bearing too much pressure, you cannot afford to fail, you can only succeed… Under this immense psychological pressure, you decide to leave a save point, you choose: (?)】

【A: Decisively try, the arrow is on the bowstring and must be released; even though the possibility of failure always surrounds you, you are fearless, rash! Just get it done! B: Think twice before acting, don't rush!】

"Leaving a save point here…… It seems you have indeed inflicted a psychological trauma on yourself, not wanting to go through the slaughter again……"

Xue Xuan, Zhao Si

Xue Xuan

But slaughtering mortals is different; even though Xue Xuan has always believed that the death of the physical body is not true death, killing is killing, opening slaughter is opening slaughter, Xue Xuan is not really a lunatic, how could he not feel uneasy in his heart?

Heavenly Emperor, Blood God Son

But Xue Xuan felt awkward, yet no one could brainwash him, and he wouldn't allow himself to be brainwashed; his will and memory are important foundations for passing the level, not to be tampered with.

Five Regions and Four Seas

"A person who is not a bad person must commit sins that no bad person could ever come close to; a person who is not a lunatic must act even more lunatic than a lunatic…… To become a savior, one must first become a god of destruction."

This, without a doubt, is a great torment and agony!

Asura Clan, Xue Xuan

"If this continues, success would still be fine, everything auspicious, everyone would have a bright future."

"But if it fails, it will prove that Xue Xuan had no effect at all, and nobody will be resurrected, then……"

If there is any failure, then this round doesn't even need the Underworld River to act; Xue Xuan would directly commit suicide, possibly causing his Dao heart to collapse, completely giving up on restarting, and walking the old path of Jiaoming.

Zhao Si

I don't know what to say, but several main characters are all kind-hearted inside; their difference lies only in the specific way they carry out their missions.

There is Jiaoming, whose kindness is so extreme that he can't bear to see people die in war, and insists on torturing himself.

There is Jin Bing, who forces himself down a dark path with no future in order to achieve a great undertaking.

And there is Xue Xuan now, who chooses to destroy the world to save it, bearing all the pressure on his shoulders to the point that no one understands, even more extreme than the demonic path……

"Why is everyone putting pressure on themselves!"

Zhao Si feels helpless, but since things have come to this, he still has to press on with his head down.

No.

【You chose option A: decisively try, the arrow is on the bowstring and must be released; even though the possibility of failure always surrounds you, you are fearless, rash! Just get it done!】

【The save point has been set; you finally have no more reservations, calmly moving your gaze away from the primordial earth, never to look down again.】

【The history of the primordial era has already ended; there's no need to linger or feel reluctant anymore; in the future it will exist only in people's casual chats and jokes…… if people can truly survive.】

Sun, Moon, Purple Micro, Northern Dipper, Southern Dipper

Chaos

【And you, too, will meet your fate's turning point under their silent witness.】

No.

No.

No.

Golden Immortal

【But the distance between heaven and earth is actually very close, so close that you couldn't fully recall all the details of your hometown, merely in the blink of an eye you arrived in the starry sky.】

【Looking up, the two huge shadows, one purple and one red, are already faintly visible……】

No.

Minghe, Mount Buzhou, Asura Essence

And by the time before a multiverse assembly, it simply ran out of qi!

Immortal Realm

And both of these situations are extremely bad news!

Chaos

Minghe, Ziying

【52】 Minghe

The purple shadow, which had been feigning death, opened its eyes, showing a strange smile on its face, as if it had seen something interesting.

But He did not speak it out, merely smiling at the Underworld River……

No.

Contains: Nether River, magic treasure.

With the Six Saints absent, these six little trinkets have become consumables that can be used only once each; I have already used them several times to suppress Him, and if I use them again now, what will happen in the future?

【57】 Asura

The Underworld River fell into deep contemplation……

And the purple shadow kept smiling, because He knew what was happening below:

Contains: Asura, Heaven-mending mechanism, leeks (metaphor).

This mysterious kid always manages to pull off some riddle-person operations; even if I've watched the surveillance from start to finish, I still can't figure out what kind of brain circuit he has.

But no matter what his brain circuit is, I have still gained some benefit……

No.

Ziying

No.

Minghe

Contains: black silhouette.

You uninvited guest, you have left the River of the Underworld utterly bewildered: how could an Asura come looking for you on their own?

Moreover… he's actually a Golden Immortal?! How could there be a living Golden Immortal in the Primordial Wasteland?

Minghe's misty eyes showed a hint of curiosity and suspicion; his intuition told him, you have a problem…

You just flew all the way into the starry sky, passing one ancient star after another, and approached the immobile Two Saints.

The two Saints stared at you, one amazed and suspicious, the other wearing a strange grin…

Familiar with the way, you went straight before the Two Saints and then performed a great salute: "Pay respects to the Saint!"

"You…"

Laojun said nothing; only Minghe furrowed his brows. He wanted to ask you many questions, but they weren't important… After thinking, he asked about your purpose: "What brings you here?"

"What for? Of course it's to open a way!"

You replied respectfully: "I learned from the Golden Heaven Emperor that all ancient figures reside in the Eternal Primordial Wasteland; thus I long for them and have come specially to ask the Saint to let us pass."

"Jin Bing?"

Upon hearing that name, Minghe's reaction was just like in his previous life; his suspicion faded largely, and his face inexplicably showed a hint of softness.

"Since he said so, you may go out."

Jin Bing's influence unexpectedly worked well with Minghe; without much trouble, he agreed to your request to open a way.

This answer didn't surprise you, because in your past life he also agreed.

But whether you can successfully pass through depends not only on clearing Minghe's hurdle; you also need to read someone's expression, and compared to the two, the latter is the real difficulty…

Thus you looked expectantly at the purple giant shadow, hoping he would lend a hand this lifetime… At the same time, this is the key moment to test how effective your various riddler-like behaviors have been in this life.

Laojun! You must definitely be kept in the dark!

In your expectant gaze, the purple giant shadow thought for a moment, smiled, and nodded at you: "I have no objection."

"Done!"

Unlike in your past life, this time he did not see you as the sole savior, so he readily agreed to your exit application.

"The exit is inside the Purple Azure Palace in Heaven Beyond Heaven."

Laojun smiled and pointed the way: "May you find your place in the Eternal Primordial Wasteland!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, you repeatedly thanked the Two Saints, then soared toward Heaven Beyond Heaven…

Even after you flew far away, when the faint "little world" beyond the cosmic membrane appeared in your vision, you still felt somewhat unreal, as if in a dream.

After preparing so many opening-a-way plans across countless eons, it actually succeeded this easily!

The victory came too easily, you could hardly believe it… But upon reflection, it's actually not easy; if you hadn't accumulated experience over three lifetimes and deliberately avoided these problems, you surely couldn't have succeeded.

Today's victory was hard-won…

"When we reach the Eternal Primordial Wasteland, I will revive everyone, and we will live together there in a carefree, happy life—mortals can cultivate, cultivators need no longer eat people, and the world will have endless innate spiritual energy… Everyone will have a bright future!"

You fantasized about the happy future, and that future was already within reach…

Feeling joyful, you flew all the way to Heaven Beyond Heaven, occasionally leaping through space, approaching it at extreme speed.

Finally you stepped forward, passed through the formless cosmic membrane, and entered the Heaven Beyond Heaven opened by the Dao Ancestor…

Legend says the Dao Ancestor once lectured here, with three thousand Purple Azure guests listening to the Dao; those listeners later became the first great powers of the Primordial Immortal Dao, composing countless legends.

Thus, this place can be considered the original holy land of the Immortal Dao!

But with excitement filling your mind, you thought only of the happy future, having little interest in this holy land; after entering Heaven Beyond Heaven, you headed straight for the splendid and mysterious Purple Azure Palace.

"Near, near!"

You hurried into the Purple Azure Palace, your joyful eyes seeing only the entrance to the Eternal Primordial Wasteland: a seven‑colored vortex, dreamlike and illusory!

As long as you enter, you can lead all the Asura clan out of this boundless sea of suffering to find an eternal pure land…

You shouted with joy and lunged straight at the seven‑colored vortex!

"Smack!"

In your shock, you slammed hard against the vortex's face, only to be blocked by an invisible barrier…

Inscription: "No Asuras or dogs allowed inside!"

Signed: "Tiandi Xuandu!"
