"You?"
"Indeed, the Primordial had long foreseen that the reincarnated body might not be willing to awaken. I have a way to bring back the Primordial."
said Xuanhuang.
Yuan Huang, Ancient Desolation, and Firewood, the three venerable ancient Evil Gods exchanged a glance.
Hope is right before their eyes.
Even though they can endure, they really don’t want to wait idle for another thousand, ten thousand years...
At the mont, each of them withdrew their incarnations, their colossal bodies resembling giant blue stars gradually moving, and leaving.
With the departure of the three venerable ancient Evil Gods, only one seemingly weaker Evil God remained.
Yet, the atmosphere in the scene remained heavy.
Gu Jinlai watched this ancient Evil God...
Although he seed smaller than Yuan Huang, Ancient Desolation, and Firewood, the na of Xuanhuang...
Any cultivator who reached the Immortal Golden Immortal Realm and was about to serve on the Heart of the Cosmic front line was absolutely familiar with it.
One of the eighteen most ancient Evil Gods.
It is said that before he beca an Evil God, he was in a master-student relationship with the Primordial.
The Primordial’s plan was also executed because of his existence.
"So, what are you planning to do?"
asked Gu Jinlai.
Xuanhuang still did not speak, seeming to ponder sothing.
Perhaps considering how to articulate his thoughts to Gu Jinlai.
After a while, a blue light was projected from this imnse light group resembling a giant blue star, gradually forming a human figure.
Seeing this figure, Gu Jinlai, who already felt sowhat familiar, was montarily stunned, then suddenly thought of sothing, his pupils contracting, "You are..."
"I didn’t expect our second eting would happen under such circumstances."
the figure condensed from blue light said in a solemn voice.
These words imdiately confird his identity for Gu Jinlai.
"Venerable Xuan Tian."
"I am Venerable Xuan Tian, also Xuanhuang."
Gu Jinlai looked at the human-shaped form condensed by this Evil God, sowhat incredulous in his expression.
Venerable Xuan Tian!
What is he!? A famous genius figure within the Qiantian, the successor of Emperor Tianji, Sword Master of Sky Extre Sword.
Although he had once beco the top master in the Qiantian World, suspected to possess Void Immortal combat strength, but...
That was also the highlight of his life.
And what significance does the so-called top master of Qiantian hold?
In the Immortal Country, where True Immortals are nurous, even in the Holy Land, several Void Immortal Realm masters equivalent to Venerable Xuan Tian could be summoned in an instant.
Regarding the further Profound Immortal Realm, Xuanhuang Star Domain, and the Fire Cloud Palace he reached...
A Void Immortal does not even have the qualifications to beco a disciple.
Like the central position of a vast empire, ordinary people do not even have the qualification to apply for nial tasks.
Yet Xuanhuang!? One of the eighteen top Evil Gods!
The four great dynasties led by Alien Demons in a Star Zone are responsible for guarding him alone. As long as he slightly moves, the four dynasties within Alien Demons beco extrely tense, and even Immortal Golden Immortals, Immortal Venerables, and Great Powers would frequently mobilize just to be safe.
And now, a top Evil God, Xuanhuang...
Unexpectedly overlapped with a genius in a small place like Qiantian in the past.
This...
"How could it be possible?"
said Gu Jinlai.
But soon, he thought of sothing.
Second eting!? Back then in the Longevity World...
"That Divine Calamity was you!?"
Gu Jinlai blurted out.
"It was ."
Venerable Xuan Tian replied calmly.
A flash of shock crossed Gu Jinlai’s eyes.
Venerable Xuan Tian, a human genius, how did he gradually transform into a Divine Calamity, then into an Evil God, and finally beco the most ancient, most powerful Evil God, Xuanhuang?
He even felt...
Venerable Xuan Tian is the actual protagonist of this world.
Silently surviving, developing, occasionally appearing to stir up a storm in the heart of this false protagonist.
Venerable Xuan Tian paid no attention to the sense of disparity in Gu Jinlai’s heart, but the words he uttered were enough to astonish.
"Actually, I’ve always been wondering if you are truly the Primordial."
"Hmm!?"
Gu Jinlai imdiately restrained his scattered Divine Sense, "What do you an?"
"Bond."
said Venerable Xuan Tian, "There is a bond between the Primordial and Xuanhuang!"
He calmly explained, "But there seems to be no bond between you and , so I suspected your identity, even suspected that the Primordial might be Wushi."
"Wushi?"
Gu Jinlai’s pupils shrank: "The Master Wushi of the Sanqing Hall!?"
"Yes, the Three Pure Ones, also revered as the Three Saints, the new system developed by the Primordial is also the Three Saints Realm, plus the bond between and Wushi is far greater than with you, I suspected he might be the Primordial, not you."
Venerable Xuan Tian said, glancing at Gu Jinlai again: "But, this is obviously a thod of creating confusion."
"You are saying..."
Gu Jinlai vaguely guessed Venerable Xuan Tian’s aning.
"Blue Star is the place he arranged for reincarnation, but that arrangent seems very simple, anyone can see it, so he subtly left a second setup in the Longevity World. If any enemy finds Blue Star, they will certainly be misled by the Longevity World, believing his reincarnated body is in the Longevity World."
Venerable Xuan Tian was already well aware of Gu Jinlai’s origins and ntioned Blue Star naturally: "But Wushi is already dead, so he cannot be the Primordial True Body, in addition to your teoric rise, achieving Great Power in just a thousand years... so the arrangent returns to Blue Star, you are the true Primordial, belonging to Blue Star’s third setup."
"Wushi."
Gu Jinlai muttered this na.
He vaguely realized that the na itself held so special significance.
"I know the Primordial’s thod, he comprehended the mysteries of the Three Saints Realm through observing the Three Thousand Dao Ancestors, which is birth, destruction, reincarnation, integrating them into one. Birth and destruction are easy, but allowing the two to cycle and persist eternally is like a luxury."
Venerable Xuan Tian slowly narrated: "Just like a cultivator, becoming a Great Power could achieve it, achieving Ancient Evil God could achieve it, making him walk to the pinnacle akin to top-tier Great Power and Ancient Evil God on that similar path of Divine Spirit and Divine Country system, he could also achieve it, but to simultaneously bring all these three paths to their extres, this difficulty is far from being as simple as one plus one plus one equals three."
Gu Jinlai listened to what he said and had to set aside the matter of "Wushi": "So, the initial inspiration for the trinity state of the Three Saints Realm, ca from the Divine Spirit, cultivator, and Evil God system?"
"Yes, but the Divine Spirit system... is far inferior, so the Primordial always couldn’t find the way until one day..."
Venerable Xuan Tian looked at Gu Jinlai: "He tried to delve into the Cosmic Core and obtained a strange object, an object containing the trait of neither life nor death, capable of replacing the Divine Spirit system, a Cosmic Oddity."
With a slight pause in his tone, he continued: "You should know what it is."
"Qing Lian."
Gu Jinlai understood in his heart.
At that mont, he finally realized why Qing Lian could possess the divine trait of being all-knowing and all-powerful like a Great Power and simultaneously have the power of decomposition of an Evil God.
Seeing him in this state, Venerable Xuan Tian also understood that he had realized his divine nature.
"Originally, I thought my bond with Master Wushi was profound, and he might be the true Primordial, but... until I saw you, I truly realized that this is precisely the power of the bond that brought us back together. The bond between you and far exceeds that between and Wushi."
Venerable Xuan Tian calmly said: "If judging from this point, you are the true Primordial."
"Then..."
Gu Jinlai took a deep breath: "What do you intend to do next?"
"I beca Xuanhuang, but I am not happy."
Venerable Xuan Tian said: "It’s not that I yearn for the days of becoming Venerable Xuan Tian, in fact, I don’t even know where this unhappiness originates because all that exists in my heart is emptiness."
His gaze wandered towards the distant starry sky: "I refer not only to Venerable Xuan Tian but also to Xuanhuang!"
"Emptiness?"
Gu Jinlai had heard many cultivators say this word.
The erosion of ti.
When the long years erode the spirit, the spirit of a cultivator is devoured by the emptiness brought by the years.
But the Xuanhuang before him...
"I have always been searching for the aning of my life, but until today, even though I have recovered to Xuanhuang, I found that in Xuanhuang’s heart, there is even greater emptiness, so much so that I am unwilling to live with the identity of Xuanhuang, preferring to be Venerable Xuan Tian, at least... there remains a bond."
Venerable Xuan Tian’s gaze once again fell on Gu Jinlai: "Even though this bond is actually just a part of the larger sche, at least... I know why I am alive."
Gu Jinlai looked at Venerable Xuan Tian.
Or rather...
Xuanhuang.
This Evil God was easily persuaded by the Primordial back in the day, risking "life-threatening danger" to attempt cultivating the Three Saints Realm, perhaps mainly because he was already consud by emptiness.
Even if...
Falling, it is estimated that it would not stir any ripple in His heart.
Looking at him, Gu Jinlai felt a sense of sorrow.
The sorrow of a dying spirit.
"Therefore... I will let you go."
Venerable Xuan Tian suddenly said.
"Let leave?"
"Yes."
Venerable Xuan Tian said: "If you turn into the Primordial, the bond is gone, if you are still Gu Jinlai, the bond exists, at least... I will not be completely consud by the emptiness of Xuanhuang."
When you’re at the end of your rope, a new scene springs to sight.
Gu Jinlai took a deep breath: "How do you plan to proceed? Yuan Huang, Ancient Desolation, and Firewood will not allow you to do this."
"Go to the Cosmic Core."
Venerable Xuan Tian’s expression was calm: "Back then, when I was tortured by emptiness, I went to the Cosmic Core and faced the Three Thousand Dao Ancestors... Evil Gods all know, the Three Thousand Dao Ancestors hold the power of authority over the Three Thousand Great Dao, but perhaps they themselves have not clearly seen that the Three Thousand Dao Ancestors do not seem to be cultivated by life, nor are they any realm of cultivation. They themselves represent the authority of this Cosmic, belonging to the foundation of the entire Cosmic, to fight against the Three Thousand Dao Ancestors is to fight against the entire Cosmic’s cycle correction chanism."
He slowly said: "Because if all living beings achieve immortality and possess truly eternal life, this Cosmic will beco one of only birth without destruction, at which point the cycle will break, and the Cosmic will end in annihilation."
"So, is the appearance of Evil Gods inevitable? Just to curb the increasing number of immortals... no, it should be Great Powers who can evade annihilation and escape the cleansing of the Dao Ancestors?"
Gu Jinlai had a mont of epiphany.
"Yes."
Venerable Xuan Tian said, pausing: "Or maybe not."
"Hmm!?"
Gu Jinlai looked at him.
"It might also be..."
Venerable Xuan Tian thought of the faint light and shadow he vaguely saw when he ventured into the Cosmic Core: "The Dao Ancestors already have no ti to clean up the immortal beings."
