Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1434 - 322: Disaster in All Worlds, Exhaustion of Ten Thousand Realms_2
Chapter 1434: Chapter 322: Disaster in All Worlds, Exhaustion of Ten Thousand Realms_2
Gu Chen’s eyes flickered as he spoke, "That is to say, it is the various desires of the human world that create these demonic beings."
"Exactly," Ao Xuan nodded and said, "And we belong to the two sides of the Yin and Yang of the universe. One day, they will completely merge together, and this is irreversible."
Long Yi gave a bitter smile and said, "So, you mean, it is the evil thoughts we ourselves generate that harm us?"
"This statement is also not objectionable," Phoenix Dance and Can Miao nodded.
Everyone was surprised, completely unable to imagine that so-called ghosts and demons were actually the aggregation of the negative emotions of their realm.
As long as there are sentient beings, there will be desires, an undeniable fact, just like the Stone Clan of the Saintly World Royal Clan, who are stone people but likewise harbour various emotions.
In other words, to eradicate these demonic beings, this world must be devoid of desires, but how is that possible?
"The operation of the heavens and the universe has its own profound laws. Our malice, murderous intents, and greed, etc., give rise to the birth of these demons and then doom the world, also harming ourselves. Perhaps, this is also the punishment from the heavens for us cultivators’ insatiable greed," Can Miao said.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
If there were no desires, there would also be no cultivation; everyone would just lie down, so what would there be to compete for?
Even Gu Chen remained silent, not knowing what to say. Frankly speaking, the true nature of the epochal catastrophe truly shocked him, and for a moment, his heart became somewhat chaotic.
Because, no matter who looked at it, it was an unsolvable problem. Being in the mundane world, being part of the world, how could one not have desires?
Apart from apocalypse, indeed, there seemed to be no other method to prevent this formation.
At that moment, Gu Chen also began to understand, no wonder the headmaster of Qingyun Academy, Situ Yin, was reluctant to tell him the specific reason.
In such a situation, if one with an unstable mind learned of this, they would surely be confused, even risking falling into madness.
Even Gu Chen felt somewhat dazed for a while, but soon, his expression became determined once again.
No matter what, he had to protect everything he cherished, which was also the most important reason for his cultivation!
As for the chaos of demons, Gu Chen believed that there might not be a solution. At least for him, as long as the power was sufficient, demons were not to be feared!
At this point, when Ao Xuan and others saw Gu Chen’s expression change from dazed to determined in just a short time, they couldn’t help but feel somewhat moved.
Gu Chen’s level of willpower was truly rare in the world; even they took a long time to adjust when they first learned of this situation.
All of this, naturally, was the information left to them by their forebears through the celestial spirit bloodline.
"Brother Gu, the reason we sought you this time, frankly, is that we have an important matter to discuss," Ao Xuan said.
"Brother Ao, feel free to speak," Gu Chen nodded, his counterpart being so straightforward, he had nothing to hide.
Hearing this, Ao Xuan, along with Phoenix Dance and Can Miao, and the leaders of the Phoenix Clan and Silkworm Clan exchanged glances before speaking solemnly, "We want to know if you have gained anything in the true origin area of the Saintly World?"
"I didn’t get anything," Gu Chen shook his head.
"What?!" Ao Xuan and the others frowned immediately upon hearing this.
Phoenix Dance’s fiery red hair cascaded down, her crimson eyes stunningly beautiful as she spoke with a serious face, "How is that possible? It shouldn’t be like this. If so, how will this era’s supreme beings emerge to vie for transmigration?"
"It shouldn’t be," Can Miao’s expression turned very ugly. "According to the calculations of the highest-level beings, if it were to appear, other than the origin of the Saintly World which contains the essence of numerous heavenly realms, no other place could accommodate it."
Ao Xuan remained silent, he believed that Gu Chen would not deceive them.
"Could it be that heaven wants to doom us?" the leaders of the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and SilkWorm Clan couldn’t help but sigh softly, sadness filling their eyes.
After finding out that Gu Chen had obtained nothing, their spirits seemed as if they had been drained.
"What exactly are you talking about?" Gu Chen frowned as he asked.
He had always been curious, what could be so important, able to continue the broken path of the higher realm, and make the highest-level beings appear?
Ao Xuan and the others glanced at Gu Chen and spoke out four words, "Origin of All Realms."
As those words emerged, the heavens and Earth seemed to manifest anomalies, a mysterious aura pervading.
"Origin of All Realms?" Gu Chen’s eyes narrowed.
Phoenix Dance said, "There is no need to doubt, it is precisely as you understand. The world we live in is suffering because the Origin of All Realms is missing, the Great Dao cannot reach perfection, hence the highest-level beings cannot appear."
Can Miao said, "At the end of the last era, after numerous highest-level beings perished, the Origin of All Realms disappeared. Suddenly, the myriad paths of heaven became unstable and could not be perfected, missing the most vital part. According to the calculations of the highest beings, this also represents a tremendous opportunity—the cosmic origin manifesting, transforming into a brand that descends to the world. If one could merge with it, their achievements could surpass all before them and become the first of all ages. At that time, the calamity of demons and monsters might also be resolved."
Upon hearing this, everyone then understood the reason why the highest-level beings could not be born in this era.
Long Yi said, "Doesn’t that mean that if someone obtains this Origin of All Realms, they become the master of the universe, able to control all heavenly realms?"
"That’s one way to see it. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that. The Origin of All Realms contains the core imprint of the myriad heavenly paths; obtaining it naturally makes one the sovereign of the universe, controlling everything, high above, overlooking the endless starry sea," Ao Xuan and the others nodded.
The news that the cosmic origin had never appeared brought Ao Xuan and their emotions to a very low point.
"Brother Gu, please think again, are you sure you haven’t obtained anything?" Ao Xuan asked again.
If the Origin of All Realms had completely disappeared, then this blow would be too great, too great indeed—not only for them but also for the strongest in the higher realm to accept.
"I indeed haven’t," Gu Chen shook his head. Despite his deep contemplation, he found nothing.
"If that’s the case, then the situation is really troublesome," Ao Xuan took a deep breath, his expression extremely grave.
"Is there a chance that perhaps at some point, the Origin of All Realms might reappear?" Yun Zishu ventured.
Ao Xuan nodded, "There is that possibility but..."
He shook his head without elaborating, because that possibility was too low.
At this moment, Taoxu Road’s Holy Maiden, Chu Yue Ling looked at Gu Chen and transmitted a message to him, "After the Saintly World is destroyed, those strongest in the higher realms will definitely surround you, pressuring you for the whereabouts of the Origin of All Realms, they will not let you off so easily."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen’s expression instantly turned stern, his brows tightly furrowed; this was indeed a troublesome matter.
The Origin of All Realms, so paramount in importance; his claim of its absence, would those strongest believe it? They might even search his soul.
Naturally, this was something Gu Chen could not tolerate, at which point, a storm would be inevitable.
"It really is like the saying ’the tree wishes tranquility, but the wind will not cease,’" Gu Chen sighed softly, already foreseeing the tumultuous waves that his departure would cause.
