Wasn't Eternity Already Sealed Off? Yellow Heaven, or Azure Heaven? / Though He Dies, Tongtian Remains a Boy at Heart; I'm Splitting Away! [Please Bookmark and Send Flowers]

"Hmm? There's still a living being here?"

Without another word, Tongtian vanished from where he stood. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the Thatched Cottage.

At that moment, an old man stood outside the Thatched Cottage in the middle, both hands resting on a Walking Stick.

The old man's face was haggard, and he wore a Linen Garment. His hair and beard were completely gray, while his murky eyes were filled with the marks of time.

The instant he saw the old man, the Sword Soul Primordial Spirit in Tongtian's Niwan Palace trembled several times.

The Sword Soul was warning him. The old man before him possessed immense strength—enough to threaten Tongtian!

Heavenly Realm Peak?

Tongtian sensed it as well. This old man was at the Heavenly Realm Peak!

He really could threaten Tongtian in his current state!

If he hadn't fallen in realm, he could have fought this old man at the Heavenly Realm Initial. But now, that was clearly impossible.

However, Tongtian didn't know whether it was an illusion, but he saw a treasure-like radiance around the old man.

Moreover, the radiance was not weak. It had reached the quality of an Innate Spiritual Treasure!

While Tongtian sized up the old man, the old man's gaze never left him either. Shock and confusion filled his eyes.

Wasn't it supposed to take ten thousand years to succeed?

Had ten thousand years passed already? It seemed a few days short!

Moreover, shouldn't the revived pawn have lost all his cultivation? How could he possess the strength of the Heavenly Realm Initial (Earth Immortal)?

Could something unexpected have happened during the revival?

Just as the old man was hesitating in confusion, Tongtian asked, "May I ask your name, fellow Daoist? And where is this place?"

"This is the Gods and Demons Cemetery. I am the Tomb Keeper."

The old man answered Tongtian's question, then tentatively asked, "And who are you? Xiao Bai? Or Xiao Nan?"

Chapter Twenty-Three: Had the Myriad Ages not already been sealed? Was it Yellow Heaven or Azure Heaven?

Buzhou Mountain, Innate Spirit Array, Three Lights Divine Water Pool.

"Xiao Nan? Xiao Bai!"

If not for the innate restriction of the Green Lotus of Creation, Shen Lang's primordial spirit would have nearly burst out of his True Body.

When Tongtian looked over the grave mounds, Shen Lang saw the graves of the Eastern Martial God and Western God of War as well.

He instinctively felt that they were familiar, but he didn't think anything was wrong.

However, when the old man in the cottage appeared, followed by words like "Gods and Demons Cemetery" and "Tomb Keeper"—

Shen Lang became somewhat unsettled.

Then the old man spoke the two names, "Xiao Bai" and "Xiao Nan."

Thinking of how Tongtian had been buried in the Small Earthen Grave from the beginning of the simulation, Shen Lang suddenly understood everything!

He knew which world Tongtian's simulation had entered!

The protagonist who had been buried in the Gods and Demons Cemetery for ten thousand years—Chen Xiao Nan!

He hadn't expected Tongtian to arrive in this world, and even replace the protagonist's identity!

Wait! Wait!

If Tongtian was in this situation, then what about Nuwa before him?

The Vast Mountain Range... the Willow Tree... the village... Wasn't that village called Stone Village?

Holy crap, this wasn't the Great Desolation World at all. It was the Perfect World!

As for the character Nuwa had simulated, there was no need to think about it. It was none other than the unparalleled Willow God of the Perfect World!

For a moment, Shen Lang felt as if he had been enlightened.

Only now, after the fact, did he finally understand what "Myriad Worlds" in the Myriad Worlds Simulator meant.

To be honest, he hadn't thought that deeply at first. He had assumed that the Great Desolation World and God's Tomb World were merely worlds randomly created by the simulator.

"Perhaps these Myriad Worlds are the worlds from the novels and films I've seen!"

"The identities simulated by the players are characters from those worlds—the protagonists... or Supporting Characters!"

As he thought about this, Shen Lang's gaze once again fell on the screen.

Tongtian had become Chen Xiao Nan. As the key pawn in the War Against Heaven Plan, would the Tomb Keeper see through him?

Shen Lang remembered that this Tomb Keeper didn't have a particularly strong presence, but his strength was no joke!

According to the book, the Tomb Keeper was an absolute Heavenly Realm Peak expert, an existence capable of fighting those at the Heaven-Defying Level.

Through the Simulation Diary, Shen Lang knew that Tongtian had fallen from the True Immortal Realm to the Earth Immortal Realm.

(For a comparison of the power levels between the two worlds, please see the related works!)

One was the Earth Immortal Realm of the Primordial World, while the other was the Heavenly Realm Peak of God's Tomb World...

If Tongtian's problem was discovered, could he defeat the Tomb Keeper?

On the screen, the scene continued—

Facing the Tomb Keeper's question—especially since he had mentioned two names—Tongtian didn't answer immediately.

Since the other party could say those names, he clearly knew the original owner of this body.

After all, the Tomb Keeper was at the True Immortal (Heavenly Realm) Peak, while Tongtian had fallen to the Earth Immortal Realm. His strength was inferior to the other party's.

If he answered incorrectly, something unexpected might happen. He didn't want to be killed right after crawling out of his grave!

Tongtian recalled the Spiritual Sense and Soul Power he had devoured, as well as the Formation he had fused with. After pondering for a moment, he calmly said, "After being reborn, whether I'm Xiao Bai or Xiao Nan, aren't I still the same person? You can call me whatever you like!"

It was a perfectly proper answer, and Tongtian was quite satisfied with it. He didn't think anything was wrong.

After all, one of those two forces was the Past Life Soul, while the other was the Current Life Body. In essence, they belonged to the same person.

When the Tomb Keeper heard this answer, a sharp glint flashed through his murky eyes. He nodded and said, "Well said... Don't say anything else!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Tomb Keeper directly transformed into an enormous black-and-white disc.

This was his True Body—the Life and Death Plate!

The Life and Death Qi shook the void, coiling around each other like twin dragons as they pressed straight down toward Tongtian. The entire Gods and Demons Cemetery trembled.

The Sword Soul in Tongtian's Niwan Palace radiated golden light as it desperately resisted the suppression. He shouted furiously, "Fellow Daoist, why have you attacked me?"

However, the Tomb Keeper ignored him completely. The Life and Death Qi crazily twisted around him.

Tongtian was already weaker in strength, and the Tomb Keeper had launched a sneak attack without the slightest regard for honor, leaving him no chance to escape.

Rumble—

The Life and Death Plate descended, and Tongtian vanished into smoke and nothingness, body and soul alike.

Only after completely erasing every trace of Tongtian did the Life and Death Plate once again transform into the appearance of the Tomb Keeper.

The Tomb Keeper's expression was incomparably gloomy. He said resentfully, "Damn it! Had the Myriad Ages not already been sealed? Was it Yellow Heaven or Azure Heaven?"

The scene ended there, and Shen Lang sighed inwardly.

Tongtian really had been exposed. He had directly suffered the Tomb Keeper's overwhelming suppression and killing.

Actually, Tongtian's answer couldn't be considered wrong. Unfortunately, the one who should have awakened at that time was Chen Xiao Nan. Xiao Nan and Xiao Bai were not the same person.

Dugu Xiao Bai's soul transformation would not take control of the consciousness, so the one who could be revived was only Chen Xiao Nan.

That was why the Tomb Keeper determined that Tongtian was not Chen Xiao Nan, then killed him on the spot without hesitation.

He had even mistaken Tongtian for Yellow Heaven or Azure Heaven!

Shen Lang shook his head, then focused his gaze on the screen again, his expression filled with anticipation.

Tongtian had survived in God's Tomb World for more than a thousand years. Now that he had been killed by the Tomb Keeper, it was time for the rewards to be tallied!

Tongtian's consciousness sank into darkness for a while before gradually recovering.

When he came to, he had already returned to the dark simulator space. He was no longer in God's Tomb World.

In front of Tongtian, a screen appeared, displaying the diary of the final day of his simulation.

[Simulation Year 1000, Day 2: You broke through the Formation, seized control of your body, and burst out of the ground. You found yourself in a cemetery. Facing the many names of the dead in this unfamiliar world, you were extremely curious.]

[You wanted to leave the cemetery and look around. By chance, you discovered an old man who said he was the Tomb Keeper of this cemetery.]

[You exchanged greetings. You discovered that he seemed to know the owner of the body you had occupied, so you became wary.]

[You answered his question, thinking you could get through it, but the Tomb Keeper still attacked you.]
