Chapter 405 The Road Ahead [I]

now.

Hearing the noise, Hu Qi looked up.

The source of the noise is none other than the other.

It was the fairy palace that was located deep in the clouds and suspended in the air.

The entire fairy court is composed of palaces that reach the sky.

At a glance.

The jade-like buildings are adorned with glazed and gilded tiles, and the nine-layered eaves pierce the sunset glow.

The carved beams and painted buildings appear and disappear as the clouds roll and unfold.

A place full of fairy spirit.

But at the moment.

This fairy palace began to shake continuously.

The glazed golden tiles became mottled, and cracks began to spread like spider webs as the vibrations continued.

The huge golden pillars were surrounded by the aura of decay, and the carvings on the pillars fell off.

Like withered petals, they peeled off from the towering palace and fell into the bottomless abyss.

The light emanating from the body gradually dimmed, replaced by a grayish, decayed color.

In the center of the Immortal Court, the huge Heaven-Sealing Monument tilted to one side, and the light around it dimmed.

The surface is covered with cracks, as if it would break into countless pieces at any time.

The edge of the fairy palace has begun to collapse, and golden fragments are falling like rain.

Falling into the nothingness below.

The clouds and mists around were no longer light and floating, but heavy as lead, slowly sinking, as if to completely bury this ruined fairyland.

The entire fairyland became somewhat unstable and showed signs of collapse.

The violent energy surged around like a raging wave, causing the originally huge purple crack to become even bigger.

And from Hu Qi's perspective.

The vast and magnificent fairyland filled with immortal energy is nothing more than a giant cocoon woven from countless threads of destiny.

If the web of fate is a big net that covers this world.

Then this giant cocoon is the core of the big net.

now.

With the death of Zarathos, the fate-weaver.

The Immortal Palace seemed to have lost the support of power and began to collapse and destroy.

If you don't stop it.

The destructive force caused by its destruction will even affect the mortal world.

Watch this scene.

Hu Qi looked normal.

He didn't see any movement.

A brilliant golden light shone from his body, pouring down like a river from the sky, covering the entire space.

For an instant.

The violent energy gradually subsided under the suppression of the golden light.

The violent force originally released by the collapse of the Immortal Palace was confined to a very small range.

It can no longer have any impact on the surroundings.

The huge purple crack that connected the fairyland and the mortal world healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually disappeared without a trace, and peace returned to the world.

The fairyland and the mortal world were isolated again.

……

In the fairyland.

At this moment, the huge fairy palace collapsed and fell apart.

The cracked Heaven-Sealing Stele that originally stood above the central hall of the Immortal Court seemed to be unable to hold on any longer.

Countless cracks spread out.

Accompanied by a dull 'bang' sound.

It turned directly into fragments all over the ground.

With the destruction of the Heaven-Sealing Monument.

The speed of the collapse of the Immortal Palace has accelerated by an unknown amount.

After a while.

The place where the fairyland was originally located became empty.

But the next second.

In Hu Qi's perception.

There was an additional huge wave of will in it.

This wave of will did not come from Zarathos. The other party had been completely killed by Hu Qi, so there was naturally no possibility of resurrection.

Now this will is the world will of Cangzhou Realm suppressed by Zarathos.

Roar! ! !
Sudden.

A low vibration came from the depths of the void.

Then, a low dragon roar suddenly resounded in this space.

The sound is distant and ethereal, as if it came from the distant ancient times.

Under this dragon roar.

The air began to surge slightly like the surface of water, creating ripples.

Gradually, the ripples expanded and spread in all directions, as if some huge monster was waking up from it.

The next moment, the void split open.

A huge silver dragon slowly emerged.

It has a slender body covered with blue-green scales.

The head with two crystal horns is held high, and the eyes emit a deep light.

As it moves, its soft mane flutters gently in the wind.

His tail sways gently, his limbs are strong, and his claws are as sharp as blades, but they have a strange beauty.

As it appeared, a thin layer of mist began to spread around it.

The illusion of pavilions, towers, mountains and rivers vaguely emerged from the mist.

It's as if there is another world in it.

A light breath emanated from its mouth and nose, and in that breath there were colorful dots of light, like falling stars.

As it breathed, the illusions around it became clearer.

“Is this the Mirage Dragon?”

Hu Qi's eyes moved.

The appearance of this mirage dragon seemed to have been anticipated.

Not too surprised.

After he broke through to the True God realm.

The power of the mind is transformed into the power of the spirit because of the transformation of the soul.

It is much stronger than before.

Although the area of ​​this world is huge.

But it was also enveloped by his spiritual power.

Therefore, he immediately realized that something was wrong with this world.

The world of mirage.

Because it is actually the body of a dead mirage dragon.

It is rumored that Mirage Dragon has the ability to control illusions.

And the mirage dragon in front of him is an existence that has reached the level of true god.

Although I don't know how long he has been dead.

But the remaining flesh still turned into a world, nourishing countless lives.

The original name of the Cang Shen Realm came from this.

later.

He established a fairy court in Zarathos and planted the web of fate.

In order to control the fate of this world, it was renamed Cangzhou World.

This also explains why the demon race in this world is destiny.

Because this world itself was transformed from a mirage dragon monster in the realm of true god.

Hu Qi looked at the silver mirage dragon in front of him.

Although his gaze is deep.

But there was not a bit of agility in it, only a slightly dull mind.

The original True God-level mirage dragon is dead.

And this one in front of me.

It is just a vague consciousness that was born from the body of this dead mirage dragon over a long period of time.

About that.

He learned this after consuming Zarathos's memories.

If not.

Even the remnant soul of a true god would not be something that Zarathos could fight against.

Not to mention suppressing it and sealing it in this fairyland.

Even if only a remnant of the true god's soul remains, the power he can display far exceeds that of a peak apostle.

The life levels of the two are not at the same dimension at all.

"But, to be able to kill a True God, could it be the work of another True God?"

Hu Qi thought of other aspects.

At the level of true God, one has already broken free from the constraints of time.

There is no problem of lifespan running out at all.

But this doesn't mean they won't be killed.

For example, the inherited memory of the three-eyed snake was obtained before.

The three-eyed primordial snake, who was a true god, also died, which indirectly led to the subsequent three-eyed primordial snake race being eliminated from the spiritual world.

The one who did all this should be the White King.

The same should be true for the True God Realm Mirage Dragon in front of us.

However, if one wants to kill a being at the True God level, the other party’s cultivation must be at least at the True God level to be able to do it.

See this scene.

Hu Qi was originally in a somewhat complacent mood after breaking through to become a True God, but this was shocked.

The true God is very powerful, but he is not invincible and cannot die.

Although it is difficult to kill, there is still a risk of falling.

Of course, Hu Qi doesn't need to worry too much, because he is different from other true gods.

Combined with the awakened Taiyu Serpent bloodline talent: Eternal Ring.

At best he could be weakened, but he could never be killed outright.

However, this is not absolute.

As his strength grew, his understanding of powerful beings became clearer. It was inevitable that there would be some strange and powerful means that could suppress his Eternal Ring talent.

Or if the other party cannot kill him, they can just seal him up permanently.

At this time.

This mirage dragon transformed from the world's will obviously also noticed Hu Qi's existence.

However, after feeling the breath of the true God on Hu Qi, it just whimpered a few times.

He showed no hostility towards Hu Qi.

See this scene.

Hu Qi thought about it.

Hold out your hand with your palm open.

next moment.

A ball of silver light appeared in his hand.

At first glance, there are countless lines flowing on it, as if they can form any shape.

It is the Taichu Demon Refining Talisman.

At this moment, Hu Qi's mind moved.

The rune lines on it converge.

A soft silver light appeared.

This thing is none other than the destiny of the demon race that was deprived by Zarathos, the Fate Weaver.

It is also part of the origin of this world.

Because it could not be destroyed, Zarathos banished it.

Now after being freed from bondage.

Fly straight towards the mirage dragon.

But the mirage dragon did not hesitate at all.

Just open your mouth and swallow it in one gulp.

Just for a moment.

The mirage dragon's eyes regained some light.

Then, the mirage dragon transformed from the world's will glanced at Hu Qi.

He growled in a low voice.

He swung his body and rushed straight towards Hu Qi.

The next second, the entire mirage dragon sank into Hu Qi's body.

For an instant.

Hu Qi can clearly sense his control over this world.

This world seemed to have become a part of his body and he could control it freely.

The will of this world actually directly acknowledged its master and handed over all its authority.

After a little thought, Hu Qi understood the reason.

He was an immortal from the demon clan of this world. He killed Zarathos and restored the destiny of the demon clan.

According to the words of fate.

The Cangzhou world itself owes him a great debt of karma.

of course.

that's it.

It was not enough to make this mirage dragon behave like this.

The most important thing is Hu Qi’s current strength.

True God.

Even if it wanted to resist, it was powerless.

The world will itself has no self-awareness or selfishness; everything it does is to conform to the direction of development of the world itself.

Under the current circumstances.

The most rational and optimal choice to preserve the Cangzhou world is to hand over everything you have and recognize Hu Qi as your master.

However, Hu Qi had not yet had time to experience this feeling.

A large number of memory images flooded into his mind like a tide.

These memories include not only the past events of the Cangzhou Realm, but also some memory fragments of the true god-level mirage dragon's body.

As a true god, Mirage Dragon has long transcended the constraints of time and has lived for an unknown amount of time.

The vastness of his memory is terrifying.

Although the remaining memories are only the tip of the iceberg, the amount of information contained therein is still breathtakingly large.

If an apostle-level being were faced with such a huge memory shock, he would probably have been deeply trapped in it and might even have lost himself.

This is not alarmist.

The self-awareness of any living being is essentially constructed from past memories.

Once we suddenly accept an excessive amount of unfamiliar memories, we are very likely to lose our way in the torrent of cognition and fall into the chaos of identity.

However, this is not worth mentioning for Hu Qi today.

It’s just that these memories are too fragmented and it will take some time to sort them out.

At the same time, he also took this opportunity to consolidate his own power which had skyrocketed after he advanced to True God.

……

Time goes back to before this.

At the moment when Hu Qi broke through to become a true God.

The deepest part of the Sumeru Sea.

An inexplicable vibration spread throughout the spirit world like ripples.

The vibration was extremely subtle.

Even those whose strength has reached the limit of the apostle level cannot detect it.

Only a strong person at the level of a true god can sense this slight movement.

The true God was only slightly surprised by the commotion.

This wasn't the first time this had happened in their infinite lifespan.

This kind of movement.

To some extent, it can be seen as a celebration ceremony held by the spiritual world for the birth of a new god.

The current situation obviously means that a new true God has been promoted.

The true God condenses his divinity and can survive even if the world is destroyed.

Anyone who has reached this level is a true powerhouse no matter which layer of the Sumeru Sea they are in.

The birth of every true god will leave its own unique mark and breath in the Sea of ​​Sumeru.

This is no different.

The only difference is.

When breaking through to become a true god, the stronger your strength and aptitude, the more spiritual echoes will be fed back from the Sea of ​​Sumeru.

……

In a pale world.

The two figures faced each other quietly, as if time had stopped at this moment.

On the left is an old man in a gray suit, holding a cane carved with a skull. The black top hat on his head is lowered, covering most of his face, leaving only a shadow.

On the right is a figure enveloped in dazzling white light, with twelve wings spread out behind him, and each wing seems to be woven from pure light.

She stood there, like the embodiment of light, sacred and inviolable.

If Hu Qi were here, he would definitely recognize that this was the White King who had once chased him.

And in the distance between the two, a huge crystal balance stood, emitting a faint glow.

"Oh, has another true god been promoted?"

The gentleman old man seemed to notice something and raised his head slightly.

Revealing a sinister face with deep eyes, high nose and pale skin.

The sound that came out of his mouth was hoarse and strange, like the whisper of some monster.

If an ordinary person heard that sound, they would probably suffer a mental breakdown and fall into madness in an instant.

He turned his gaze to the White King, a meaningful smile on his face.

"Instead of engaging in this useless confrontation, how about we take a gamble? Let's bet on the number of spiritual resonances of this new true god.

Whoever guesses the closest will own this thing."

The White King did not answer immediately.

He seemed to be thinking.

"can."

After a long while, the White King finally spoke, his voice was clear, cold and pleasant.

"Okay, I'll guess five."

The old man chuckled, as if he had anticipated the other party's choice.

The moment the other party agreed, he took the lead and said his own number.

Five times, this is a balance value.

Under normal circumstances, the spiritual resonance after a true god's promotion is around this value.

The ups and downs won't be too big.

It can be said that this number is undoubtedly the most reliable.

"Seven times."

The White King didn't care about the other party's little trick.

He told me his guess.

As soon as he finished speaking, two balls of light, one white and one gray, appeared on the crystal scale. The scale swayed slightly and finally became balanced.

Immediately afterwards, the scales burst into a dazzling light, and an invisible force of rules enveloped the place, symbolizing the establishment of the bet.

Even beings like them cannot disobey it.

thump—

The second spiritual echo came, breaking the brief silence.

Soon, we arrived at the fifth path.

After the fifth one.

No new vibrations were reported.

"It seems I won."

The old man smiled slightly, but the smile quickly froze on his face.

——Boom!

The sixth spiritual echo came again.

This was followed by the seventh and eighth times.

The frequency of echoes is faster and more frequent than before, and the next echo often starts as soon as the previous one ends.

Subsequently.

It wasn't until the tenth spiritual echo came that it completely stopped.

For a moment, there were more than just the two.

In the Sumeru Sea, all the true gods fell into deathly silence at this moment.
