Great Evolution: I Exclusively Possess Earth's Six Supreme Opportunities
Chapter 139 The Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate
"Lord Dao!"
The enchantress's voice was urgent. The oppressive aura emanating from the stone coffin made her feel her own demonic soul tremble.
It was a submission from the depths of her blood, a terror beyond her comprehension.
Su Bai ignored Yao Ji's warning. He strode towards the ancient stone coffin floating in the center of the platform.
His steps were slow, each one carrying an unwavering determination. He disregarded the oppressive imperial majesty that weighed on all living beings.
That imposing aura even made Qin Feng and the others behind him turn pale, with cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.
The starry sea surrounding the platform seemed to deepen because of this aura. Distant stars twinkled, illuminating the ancient runes on the stone coffin.
The runes seemed to be alive, slowly flowing across the surface of the stone coffin, emitting a faint golden light.
Su Bai's gaze was fixed on the stone coffin.
In his past life's memories, the records about the ultimate opportunity in the Tower of Babel were vague. He only knew that it contained "destiny," but never what it specifically was.
But now, standing close at hand, he sensed a familiar yet unfamiliar aura emanating from the stone coffin. It was the aura of the "Human Emperor" that he had seen countless times in ancient Chinese texts.
He stretched out his right hand without hesitation. His fingertips touched the cold surface of the stone coffin.
hum!
An immense, indescribable power erupted from the stone coffin.
The entire Tower of Babel, and even the vast platform beneath its feet, trembled violently at that moment.
The starry sea surrounding the platform seemed to be stirred by this force, and the starlight instantly became dazzling.
The stone coffin slowly opened. There was no sign of the expected dust and decay, nor any eerie or terrifying aura.
Only a single, dazzling golden beam of light shot up from inside the coffin, soaring straight into the sky.
The golden light pierced through the endless sea of stars above the platform, like a golden pillar connecting heaven and earth, illuminating the entire universe.
Within the pillar of light, the phantom of an ancient yet majestic golden longsword slowly solidified.
It floats in mid-air, its blade engraved with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and ancient tribal totems.
A dazzling gem is inlaid on the hilt of the sword, radiating a seven-colored light.
It is not an ordinary sword; it represents the oldest heritage and glory of the Chinese nation.
"The Xuanyuan Sword!" Qin Feng cried out in disbelief.
His body was trembling, not from fear, but from a deep-seated excitement and awe.
As the commander of the Chinese Dragon Shield, he naturally had a deeper understanding of these ancient legends than others.
The enchantress's beautiful eyes were also filled with shock. She had thought that this final opportunity would be some kind of powerful cultivation technique or peerless magic weapon.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the legendary Holy Sword. In the ancient legends of the demon race, this sword was also an unparalleled divine weapon for slaying demons and eliminating evil.
After the illusory image of the longsword solidified, an ancient yet majestic will emanated from the sword, resonating directly in the depths of everyone's soul.
"I will wait here for countless eons."
The voice was devoid of any emotion, yet it contained an endless sense of vicissitude.
"Waiting for a human emperor who can shoulder the fate of humanity..."
The Soul of Xuanyuan Sword!
Everyone was shocked. It turned out that this so-called "destiny" was not an inanimate object, but rather the sword spirit inheritance of the Xuanyuan Sword!
"Outsider, you have passed many tests and have come to see me."
The will of the Xuanyuan Sword Soul continued to resonate.
"But if you want to inherit my legacy and become the true 'Human Emperor', you still need to pass the final test."
"This is neither a test of strength nor a test of wisdom."
"This is... a test of one's Dao heart!"
When the voice spoke the words "Dao Xin" (the heart of the Dao), it seemed to carry a power that pierced through the soul.
"I will reveal your deepest desires and choices. On one side is the supreme path of transcending the mortal world and roaming freely in the universe. On the other side is the arduous path of becoming a human emperor, burdened with the fate of all living beings and entangled in the karma of the mortal world."
Everyone was stunned. They had never imagined that the final test would be such a choice. To abandon everything and pursue the ultimate self, or to shoulder the heavy responsibility and protect their people?
"You must make a choice." The voice of Xuanyuan Sword Soul became clearer and more resounding.
"If you choose freedom, you will gain power and freedom beyond this universe, but the survival of humanity and Earth will no longer concern you."
"If you choose to become the Human Emperor, you will inherit my legacy, bear the destiny of humanity, overcome all obstacles, and pave the way for your people. But from then on, your path will be closely intertwined with that of humanity, and there will be no possibility of transcending it."
Make your choice.
As soon as Xuanyuan Sword Soul finished speaking, the entire platform suddenly blurred, and the endless sea of stars spun and receded.
Two completely different scenes appeared before Su Bai's eyes.
In one scene, he is bathed in starlight, taking a single step forward. The stars beneath his feet dim, and the universe appears to him as nothing more than a chessboard. He surveys the birth and death of all worlds, transcending all rules, becoming a supreme being.
No constraints, no burdens, only eternal freedom and power.
In another scene, he stands on the broken ruins, his Xuanyuan Sword stained with blood, with his homeland riddled with holes behind him.
He fought against countless powerful alien races, each battle thrilling and fraught with peril, where he could fall at any moment.
Beside him were the resolute Qin Feng, the weary Yao Ji, and ordinary people yearning to survive.
He carried the hopes and future of his entire tribe on his shoulders, and every step he took was incredibly heavy.
The will of the Xuanyuan Sword Soul, like a resounding bell, echoed once more in Su Bai's heart: "Choose, child. Where does your true path lie?"
Qin Feng and the others watched Su Bai nervously. They didn't know what Su Bai had seen, but the aura emanating from Su Bai at this moment made them feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
The enchantress's beautiful eyes flickered, and she had a vague guess in her heart. This was the most difficult choice for a powerful person.
Su Bai stared expressionlessly at the two scenes before him. One, transcending the universe, carefree and unrestrained; the other, burdened by the fate of all living beings, trapped in the mortal world.
There was no struggle, no hesitation in his eyes. Only clarity.
Why did he return from the dead? Was it to pursue the ultimate self?
It was to make up for the regrets of his past life, and to protect those he cared about.
His fate in his previous life was because he lacked the power to protect himself.
In this life, he will build a civilization strong enough to fight against all external enemies!
"I choose..."
