Starting My Cultivation With Time Management Chapter 502 - 28 Building a Human Race Paradise in Hell

In an instant, Wei Dongliu even felt the impulse almost to the point of tears, as if he had "found his organization."

But he quickly suppressed his emotions.

Years of undercover life had turned Wei Dongliu’s heart as cold as steel; he would not easily trust anyone. Thus, he feigned ignorance and asked in a deep voice,

"World destruction? Is this so kind of alarmist joke?"

The hall fell silent.

One of the figures shrouded in black mist suddenly asked,

"May I know how much Number Nine understands about the ancient event of Nuwa nding the sky?"

Wei Dongliu spoke in a deep voice,

"I’ve heard that in the ancient tis of the Witch Clan, Zhu Rong and Gonggong fought a great battle. In a fit of anger, Gonggong struck Mount Bu Zhou, causing the Heavenly Do to shatter."

"Water from the Heavenly River gushed out from the breach, and later Nuwa took Five-Colored Stone for refinent to nd the sky, which quelled the floods in the Mortal World."

"Number Nine, you only know one part and not the other," the figure in the mist said with a smile. "The shattering of the Heavenly Do was not just about the water of the Heavenly River leaking into the Mortal World."

"The Heavenly River flows around the Heavenly Do, separating the Mortal World from the outer heavens. When the Heavenly Do shattered and the river flowed out, a passable breach appeared between the barrier of the two."

"Heavenly Demons?" With this reminder, Wei Dongliu imdiately recalled sothing.

Apart from the floods caused by the leakage of the Heavenly River’s water, he had read in so texts that during that period "Heavenly Demons road freely," so much so that the use of "Great Hollow Thunder," which was particularly effective against Heavenly Demons in the Thunder thod, beca very popular... The threat of the Heavenly Demons to the Human Race was so great that it drove a large number of cultivators to practice the extrely dangerous Thunder thod.

If the Heavenly Do had revealed a breach, then the Heavenly Demons from the outer world could easily reach the Mortal Realm.

"The Heavenly Demon King from the sixth layer of the outer worlds, the Self-Transforming King of Hell, led countless minions to attack the Mortal Realm before Nuwa had nded the sky."

The figure in the mist continued, "Later, the Demon King was defeated by Nuwa and fell in the Mortal Realm, his minions scattered in various places within it, and only five hundred of the Demon King’s daughters escaped back to the Heaven Realm."

"Oh." Wei Dongliu’s heart stirred, feeling as though he had guessed the reason why the Heaven-nding Stone had a shelf life.

"Because the Demon King’s corpse fell in the Mortal Realm, we suspect that for these several hundred thousand years, he had been continuously attempting to decipher and attack the Five-Colored Stone used to plug the sky.

"And after Nuwa, the Human Race also went through an invasion by the Nine Serenities Underworld and wars with the Demon Race, resulting in the fall of many great powers and an excessive consumption of strength, leaving no one able to maintain the repaired part of the sky."

"So what?" Wei Dongliu asked straightforwardly.

"It is said that back then, Nuwa refined two Heaven-nding Stones in one furnace," Daoist Luo continued the conversation. "One was used to nd the sky, and the other was kept as a spare."

"The spare Heaven-nding Stone later shattered due to so reasons, turning into countless fragnts."

"Which ans," Wei Dongliu pondered for a mont and tentatively asked, "you are hoping to collect the fragnts of the Heaven-nding Stone to repair the sky breach anew?"

The figures shrouded in black mist collectively fell silent.

After a while, the people burst into a rousing laughter:

"Hey, Number Nine! Do you even realize what you are talking about?"

"Even if it is just a fragnt, it’s still a piece of the Five-Colored Stone. Personally refined by Nuwa, it is of the highest order among Innate Spiritual Treasures, capable of suppressing by a seal of Great Dao level!"

"Now these fragnts, if not in the hands of the Sect Guardian Immortal of the Orthodox Sect, are completely unaccounted for. Who would dare to hope to gather them all? Unless an ancient power were reborn!"

"Stop laughing," Master Luo said indifferently, and the voices amidst the black mist abruptly halted.

"To say that we want to gather the fragnts of the Heaven-nding Stone is not wrong. If we truly managed to do so and repair the breach in the sky, the world would naturally be free of the danger of collapsing."

Not necessarily... Wei Dongliu thought to himself. According to their words, even if the sky were nded again, it would only hold for another hundred thousand years at most.

Unless they directly attacked the lair of the Heavenly Demon for a permanent solution, wouldn’t it just be addressing the symptoms and not the root cause?

"Just as everyone says, the current fragnts of the Heaven-nding Stone, so are in the hands of the Sect Guardian Immortal of the Orthodox Sect, others are completely unaccounted for," Master Luo continued, "To gather all the fragnts and save the Mortal Realm is indeed too challenging."

"However, if we managed to obtain just three pieces, that would be enough to seal the deepest layer of Hell."

"Seal the deepest layer of Hell?" Wei Dongliu asked in surprise, "It was the Mortal World that was destroyed because of Heaven, what does that have to do with Hell?"

"Number Nine," Master Luo asked with a smile, "In your journey so far, what do you think of the environnt of Abi Hell?"

Wei Dongliu fell silent for a mont, then answered:

"Extrely harsh."

"Exactly," Master Luo continued, "This Abi Hell, with its depths leading directly to the core of Chaos, is where the residue of Chaos accumulated after Pangu created the world and separated the clear from the turbid. Thus, the various rules here are extrely chaotic."

"But if we could seal that passage with the Heaven-nding Stone, these eighteen layers of Hell would lose the influence of Chaos and gradually regain orderly rules. With the balance of Yin and Yang restored and the Five Elents in harmony, all living things would thrive."

"By then, having eliminated the Rakshasas and evil spirits here, this place would not be a bad ho for the Human Race. Even after the annihilation of the Mortal World, it could still sustain our race’s dwellings and proliferation."

Wei Dongliu: .........

He had originally thought that the Hell Path was planning a "counter-restoration," but he hadn’t expected their planning to be so profound – they actually intended to recreate a miniature Mortal World!

It made sense too. If, after the sky had breached, they continued to linger in the Mortal World, they would constantly face the invasions of the celestial river, Heavenly Fire, and Heavenly Demon. When would they not have to worry about their sect’s extinction by so mishap? Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to hide deep in Hell?

"To obtain the fragnts of the Heaven-nding Stone, we must first usher the Mortal World into an era of great strife," said a voice from the black mist solemnly, "Although the Mortal World has been peaceful for a long ti, once we seize the first fragnt of the Heaven-nding Stone, it will inevitably alert the other sects, and the difficulty of obtaining the second fragnt will skyrocket."

Well said, Wei Dongliu nodded in agreent.

How could he not understand this logic? That’s why he used the power of the Kunlun Mirror to simultaneously create five avatars, aiming to capture all fragnts of the Heaven-nding Stone at the sa ti and leave the sects no ti to react.

"Hence, only when the Human Race enters an era of great strife, with intense conflicts and confrontations between the sects, can we maximise the concealnt of our planning," another voice from the black mist continued, "At the sa ti, frequent wars will catalyse the upgrade of the average combat power of the Human Race."

"When the Age of Dharma Decline arrives, more people will be able to survive rather than be devoured by the Heavenly Demon due to weakness."

Wei Dongliu was sowhat speechless. So, you’re instigating wars from back here and even managed to cultivate a sense of righteousness about it?

"Indeed," he feigned solemn contemplation, then nodded in agreent, "Since we’re constructing a paradise for the Human Race in Hell, as a mber of the Human Race, it’s naturally my unavoidable responsibility."

"Very well," Master Luo, upon hearing his bluff, whether truly convinced or not, just laughed heartily, "In that case, you are officially a mber of our Hell Path!"

"Next, the sect has a mission for you."
