Over the years, she has died countless times, so many that it makes her scalp crawl.
But soon, Witch Ancestor Chunlan realized what was happening. She suddenly stood up and said with surprise and uncertainty.
"I'm not dead?"
She examined herself with great surprise and found that, apart from nearly 90% of her Indestructible Dao Patterns being dissolved, there was almost no difference.
Su Chen's calm voice rang out. "If your Indestructible Great Dao completely dissipates, can it be reformed?"
Witch Ancestor Chunlan immediately snapped out of her daze. She glanced at Su Chen with some suspicion, then her pupils suddenly contracted, and her face showed a hint of horror:
"Just now... it was you who made the move!?"
The shock in her eyes was beyond words. She knew that the Curse Power was something that even she couldn't resist at her peak. In the very beginning, she was killed by this thing.
Back then, I was much stronger, so the Curse Power wasn't so vicious. It took me nearly 30 million years to completely erase her.
She spent those 30 million years in pain and despair.
I thought I wouldn't encounter this kind of thing after being reborn.
The moment the Indestructible Dao Patterns were fully condensed, the Curse Power descended, and then she experienced endless life and endless death.
Su Chen said calmly, "Answer my question first."
Witch Ancestor Chunlan looked at Su Chen with a horrified expression. Only then did she realize that Su Chen was an extremely terrifying person.
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying possibility occurred to him.
In the Primordial Era.
He once had a close friend, Nine Nether Heavenly Kui, whose true form was an illusory entity that connected the past, present, and Future. He was extremely powerful, and many people sought his fortune-telling.
The Witch Ancestor once heard him speak of something with a serious expression.
He said that the Primordial World would be completely wiped out before long.
The Witch Ancestor didn't believe it at the time and even laughed. How terrifying was the Primordial World? There were countless powerful beings and Innate God-Demon everywhere. Who could completely annihilate them?
At that time, Nine Nether Heavenly Kui didn't say much, only casually uttering one sentence:
"We are nothing but Ant, mere pawns in the hands of powerful figures."
"As for why the Primordial World was destroyed, it was probably just a power struggle between powerful figures."
From the second day onwards, the Witch Ancestor never saw Nine Nether Heavenly Kui again. At the time, she didn't think much of it, assuming that Nine Nether Heavenly Kui had simply hidden himself away.
But now that I think about it, he... was wiped out?
As for the person in front of me!
The Curse Power was terrifying, and she was completely helpless against it, yet Su Chen was able to easily neutralize it. Could this be one of the great figures that Nine Nether Heavenly Kui had mentioned?
The Witch Ancestor took a deep breath, his face regaining its confident expression. "This isn't the Indestructible Great Dao, it's the Indestructible Dao Patterns. The name 'Great Dao' is so corny, it doesn't sound good at all. Dao Pattern sounds so much better, it's classy and high-end."
Su Chen: "..."
"Then can you tell me how you can be reborn after the Indestructible Dao Patterns are completely annihilated?"
The Witch Ancestor seemed completely unconcerned about her secret being exposed to others, showing no guile whatsoever. She said with an arrogant expression, "Actually, I can't explain it either. The Indestructible Dao Patterns itself has no physical form; it is not a substantial Dao, unlike other Daos."
"Hmm... it's kind of like a Rule."
"The Rule is that I cannot die, under any circumstances. The second rule is that after I die, I will be reborn. By repeatedly experiencing life Life and Death, I can be resurrected again."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen suddenly shuddered.
Rule!
His eyes were filled with solemnity, and he felt as if something was about to burst out of his head.
Rule stronger or the principle stronger?
The Dao is also a kind of Rule, but it is absolutely not as domineering as her Indestructible Dao Patterns.
Su Chen suddenly remembered that his Dual Cultivation Great Dao seemed to be a kind of Rule, but he had not yet figured out how this Rule manifested.
His eyes were narrowed.
Rule!
I see, I see!
No wonder I couldn't control the Dual Cultivation Great Dao; it is essentially Rule, Rule cannot be changed or reversed, only accepted.
Just like the Indestructible Dao Patterns, the Witch Ancestor could not change the Rule of resurrection; he could only accept them.
Above the Way!
Rule!
Su Chen felt as if he had found a path; he believed that the most likely realm above the Dao Lord was the Supreme Rule.
This curse seems to be a kind of Rule as well.
He felt as if he had learned a lot more. The person who Upper Reaches of Time was definitely not at the Dao Lord Realm; he was at a higher level Rule-Curse Realm.
Recalling the near-death experience, was I cursed at the time?
Just like the curse on the Witch Ancestor, why has she been relentlessly pursued for countless years? Isn't that also a kind of Rule?
However, this Rule didn't seem very strong, so Su Chen easily concealed it.
Suddenly, Su Chen seemed to remember something.
He possesses the Dual Cultivation Great Dao, but the enhancement of the Dual Cultivation Great Dao comes from continuous Dual Cultivation. Does that mean that other Rule also have their own ways of enhancement?
For example, the Indestructible Dao Patterns grows stronger by constantly experiencing Life and Death. Just now, the Indestructible Dao Patterns was almost erased, but after Su Chen helped, he could clearly feel that the Indestructible Dao Patterns had become much stronger.
What then is the curse?
Could it be that a curse is used to devour and dissolve everyone?
Su Chen recalled the scene of the Indestructible Dao Patterns being devoured and the smile on his face, and this thought arose in his mind.
His expression was somewhat serious, yet a smile played at the corners of his mouth.
Things seem to be getting... Yuelai interesting.
Overall, helping the Witch Ancestor to be resurrected was beneficial, at least it allowed me to learn more about things.
Su Chen stood up, turned around, and prepared to leave. "I'm leaving. After that, stay in the Cloud Firmament Realm and don't go anywhere else."
The Witch Ancestor quickly stepped forward and pulled him back. "I'll go with you."
Su Chen turned his head, looking at the Witch Ancestor with some confusion, as if to say, "Why are you following me?"
He had no connection with the Witch Ancestor; he had simply saved her life, and she had no reason to follow him.
The Witch Ancestor said quite naturally, "I'm afraid of dying. What if that ghost comes to kill me again? Besides, didn't you want to know who Su Chen is? I've lived the longest, so I'm the most likely to know who Su Chen is."
Su Chen's ability to eliminate that damned thing indicates that he is not on the same side as the person behind it.
Nine Nether Heavenly Kui had said that they were nothing but Ant and pawns, and over the years she had truly come to realize that she was far too weak in the face of such power.
Therefore, the only way to get rid of that monstrous thing is to join another camp.
