Chapter 1093 - didn’t count!
A World Worth Protecting
The sky was clear, and the sun shone on the land. It fell on the mountain peaks, the mountain ranges, and the sea. The entire world was vast and boundless. One couldnât see the end of it no matter how high one stood.
It was as if the size of the world was infinite according to oneâs understanding. If one thought that the world was small, then it might really be small. However, if one thought that the world was huge, then... there was no limit to how big it could be.
This place is very strange! Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He realized that he was no longer on the crater island of the fated star. There was no longer the fated book in front of him. Instead, he was standing at the peak of a mountain that reached into the clouds, it was as if it wanted to compete with the heavens for height.
Clouds swirled around him, and a whimpering wind filled the air. The mountain peak beneath his feet was covered in snow due to the difference in temperature from the mountainside.
However, the snow wasnât white, but blue.
The blue snow, the violent winds, the boundless sea of clouds, and the endless land that Wang Baole couldnât see the end of as he looked through the sea of clouds. This was what Wang Baole saw.
If his consciousness hadnât been clear, Wang Baole would have thought that he was once again immersed in the Epiphany of his previous life. However, it was precisely because his consciousness was clear that he found the afterimage of the future more interesting, that was because... everything around him, be it his gaze, his bodyâs perception, or the approval of his soul, were all sending him a message.
All of these... were real.
The wind was real, the snow was real, the sea of clouds and the land were real. The entire world, to Wang Baoleâs senses, did not have any signs of life. It was as if this was a lifeless planet.
This was also true.
Wang Baole raised his eyebrows slightly and swept his gaze across the sea of clouds. After about seven to eight breaths had passed, his expression suddenly changed as he looked to his right.
The instant he looked over, he saw two figures appear in the sky to his right. One of them was the exalted Heavenly Dharma, and the other... was Wang Baole himself!
âItâs been sixty-eight years.âExalted Heavenly Dharma, who was in the sea of clouds, murmured,
wang Baole heard what he said. In his eyes, his other self, who was standing beside Exalted Heavenly Dharma, also heard what he said.
âIs it time?âThis was what the other Wang Baole had said in a hoarse voice after a moment of silence. If someone else was there, they might not have been able to understand the meaning behind his words. However, the person who understood him the most.., was usually himself.
That was why Wang Baole was able to detect some other meaning behind the other Wang Baoleâs words. It was... regret and confusion.
However, before Wang Baole could carefully observe and savor it, a ray of light appeared in the sky... or more accurately, in the starry skies of the universe. A Ray of colorful light seemed to be able to melt everything.., it covered the entire Weiyang Dao Domain and the heavenly fated star..
Wang Baole didnât know what happened next. The moment he saw the ray of light, everything before his eyes disappeared. When he opened his eyes, he heard the sounds of breathing coming from all around him, he felt countless pairs of eyes converging on him. He also saw the heavenly fated book, which was emitting waves of repulsive force, as well as the heavenly fated book, which was looking at him.
âHow long has it been?âWang Baole asked with a frown.
âNine breaths,âthe heavenly fate master answered calmly.
Wang Baoleâs frown deepened. He raised his head and scanned his surroundings. He noticed the hundreds of thousands of cultivators on the thirty-nine giant beasts outside the island. They were all extremely curious. He also saw Xie Haiyang staring at him intently, it was as if he wanted to know what he had seen.
However, Wang Baole couldnât describe the afterimage of the future that he had seen. The scene was simple, but it didnât seem simple. After some thought, he realized that he had seen too little.
Wang Baole lowered his head. His gaze landed on the book of Heavenly Fate. He could feel the intense repulsion emanating from the book. It seemed to be using all its strength, it tried to push away Wang Baoleâs hand that had landed on its body.
It had indeed done so. As it trembled violently, the repulsive force grew stronger and stronger, eventually causing Wang Baoleâs hand to slowly lift a few inches.
The old slave of the Exalted Heavenly Dharma Master watched the scene and was about to end the viewing of the afterimage of the future. However, at that moment, Wang Baole suddenly spoke.
âThat doesnât count. I didnât see it clearly. Letâs try again.â
As soon as he spoke, his right hand descended once more. The book of heavenly fate trembled, showing a strong struggle and resistance. It seemed unwilling to let Wang Baole touch it again. The old slave of the exalted master hesitated as well, he wanted to stop Wang Baole, but seeing that the exalted master had closed his eyes and remained silent, he pretended that he hadnât seen anything.
However, there were still people around who could see clearly. They saw the struggle of the Book of Destiny and saw its repulsion. They were all surprised, and what happened next made them look strange, it became strange.
That was because... when Wang Baole sensed the struggle of the book of Destiny, the shadow of the black wooden board in his right hand instantly materialized. A powerful force seemed to be able to break through everything, crushing all the resistance of the Book of Destiny in an instant, it was very violent... and it fell straight down!
Bam!
Wang Baoleâs hand landed on the Book of Destiny.
The Book of Destiny trembled a few times. It seemed extremely unwilling, but there was nothing it could do but spread out its ripples once again, spreading across the entire fated star..
Hence, the world before Wang Baoleâs eyes changed once again... and this time, it was different from before. What Wang Baole saw was not a single scene, but... a series of scenes.
It was as if the book of Heavenly Fate was not hiding anything, but releasing everything in one go. It was as if if it could speak, it would definitely tell Wang baole that he could see whatever he wanted to see, and that he should leave after he finished..
Hence, Wang Baole saw himself..
In the scene, after the Heavenly Dharma Lordâs birthday banquet ended, he did not choose to leave. Instead, he stayed on the heavenly fate star and watched the sun and moon change, the stars change, and the world change.
He saw the death of the blazing flame ancestor, the destruction of the Earth Federation, the arrival of the dark sect, his senior brother Chen Qingziâs battle, and the divine emperor of the Weiyang clan.
Countless lives died one after another in the next sixty-eight years, and they were born one after another. It was the same for the Stars and civilizations.
During this process, many people came to the heavenly fate star and paid their respects to the Heavenly Dharma Lord. They also saw themselves. For example, before the blazing flame ancestor died, Li Wan âer begged him to kneel down, Zhao Yameng, and his familiar face, they had all requested to meet Wang Baole one after another. Wang baole, who had been immersed in his transcendence, did not show any emotion towards this.
Sixty-eight years later, a colorful light appeared in the starry sky. It melted everything and devoured everything. Wang Baole saw himself and the exalted Heavenly Dharma master appear above the sea of clouds in the sky, staring at the starry sky.
âItâs been sixty-eight years.â
âIs the time almost up?â
âItâs the beginning and the end.â
âThen... Iâll see you in the next life.â
âIâll see you in the next life.â
Above the sea of clouds, the figure of the Exalted Heavenly Dharma Master and the other version of himself that Wang Baole saw cupped their fists and bowed. Their bodies gradually turned into nothingness. Together with the colorful light that appeared, they merged into nothingness.
The scene disappeared.
Wang Baoleâs body trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.
At the same time that he opened his eyes, in the universe of the never-ending DAO domain, in the left Dao Sacred Zone, in the first sectâs nine Prefectures Dao, in the vast mountain gate that covered more than a hundred thousand civilized galaxies, in a galaxy called Tianshui.., a giant-like figure sat cross-legged.
The size of the figure was like that of a Star!
Upon closer inspection, one could tell... that this person seemed to be the star in this galaxy,
his entire body emitted endless light and heat, terrifying to the extreme. In terms of strength, he far surpassed the dao protectors around Wang Baole. It was as if both parties were stars, but one was like a torch, and the other was the real Haoyang.
He was the Second Dao child of the Dao of the nine prefectures. He had used a forbidden technique to fuse a large number of stars into his body. His cultivation was at the late-stage of the star realm, and his combat prowess was monstrous!
At that moment, the Second Dao Child, who was meditating in the starry sky with his eyes closed, silently appeared in the void in front of him. The Shadow of a purple crescent moon appeared out of thin air, eventually transforming into the illusory figure of a woman. It was blurry.., it still gave off an extremely beautiful feeling.
âChong Yizi, back when I taught you the secret technique, you said that you could unconditionally promise me something. Now, I need you to help me kill someone!â
â
There was still night!
