Su Chen's clone has merged with his main body. A few days ago, the system brought him to a place called Heavenly Pivot Realm. This place has no land, but a vast ocean that stretches as far as the eye can see, with its surface shimmering with crystal light.
Su Chen scanned the seabed with his Divine Sense and found that there were no creatures at all, not even a single fish. Moreover, every drop of seawater contained an extremely large amount of divine energy. This was simply a divine sea, a sacred place for all living beings to cultivate.
During this time, Su Chen asked the system many questions, and the system said it would tell him in a few days. Su Chen was already used to this, so he simply didn't ask anymore. He followed the system to a small island, which was like a paradise. There was a bamboo house and the ground was full of divine herbs. Su Chen stayed here for several days.
"System, what do you want to do by bringing me here? The outside world is in complete chaos, Hong Yun is about to collapse. I need to help her!" Su Chen finally couldn't help but speak up.
After a long silence, the system slowly said, "This place can help you break through to the Ruler Realm, but now is not the time."
Su Chen frowned, remaining silent, seemingly waiting for the system to continue. Suddenly, a shimmering white light flew out from between Su Chen's brows, swirling and coalescing in front of him. In an instant, a handsome young man, surrounded by a rich Daoist aura and possessing a transcendent aura in his eyes, stood quietly in place, as if he were an innate spirit born from chaos, perfectly integrated with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
The young man looked around, his eyes filled with a sense of vicissitude and a hint of bewilderment. After a while, he smiled with relief and looked at Su Chen. "Didn't you want to know my identity? I'll tell you now. I am the Heavenly Dao of the Great Void Universe. And your identity in your previous life was the Lord of the God Realm. When you were surrounded and killed, I protected a wisp of your divine soul, allowing you to be reborn. Because I knew that Catastrophe would inevitably descend again, the God Realm needed you and could not do without you. However, during the reincarnation process, an accident occurred, and you were reborn on Earth. In order to allow you to return to the cultivation Immortal Realm, I had no choice but to cause this accident and separate your divine soul to the cultivation Immortal Realm. As for the disciple-taking tasks I gave you afterward, I was thinking of cultivating more geniuses at the Divine Lord Realm before the Catastrophe descended again, so that your pressure would not be too great. Originally, I thought I would let you explore these things little by little, and give Lingxi and the others time to grow. But I didn't expect the Catastrophe to come so quickly. There was no other way, so I had to tell you these things in advance."
At this point, his expression became complicated. "The responsibility of the God Realm now falls solely on your shoulders." He turned and looked towards the divine sea beyond the island. "The reason I was able to grant you cultivation is because of this sea. This sea is actually my origin, containing divine energy that is pure and without any impurities, and is also the source of my power. In order to help you break through to the Divine Lord, nearly ninety percent of my origin was consumed here. What you see now is only the remaining ten percent. At that time, besides protecting a wisp of your divine soul, I also preserved your memories."
The boy raised his hand and touched Su Chen's brow. Immediately, a large number of memory fragments flooded Su Chen's mind. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the veins on his arms bulged. These memories were so vast that the process of integrating them was extremely painful for him.
A day and a night passed before Su Chen gradually calmed down and slowly opened his eyes. His temperament and demeanor were completely different from before, becoming more Transcendence, mysterious, and ethereal, making him unfathomable.
"You must have had a hard journey, Great Void," Su Chen said softly.
The young man shook his head, offering no further pleasantries. "I've received news that the Undying Universe and the Eternal Universe have already fallen. The Divine Lord of both universes have been slain by the powerful beings of the Catastrophe. These two universes are now the Catastrophe's territory. Only the Incantation Arts Universe and our Great Void Universe are still struggling to hold on. We can hold out for a while longer, but once the Calamity Ancestor descends, the God Realm will be utterly finished. Therefore, the God Realm now needs someone capable of confronting the Calamity Ancestor."
"Are you counting on me? But I'm only at the Divine Lord Realm, still a long way from the Ruler Realm. How can I possibly fight against the Calamity Ancestor?" Su Chen said.
"I have a way," the boy said.
Su Chen was puzzled at first, then seemed to realize something, and his brows suddenly furrowed. "You want me to refine your essence?"
The boy didn't speak, but simply nodded calmly.
Su Chen shook his head and said, "You know how important your Origin is to you. Once it's exhausted, you'll die. Besides, with your current Origin, how can you help me break through?"
"I was born from this universe, and this universe is my mother. Now that my mother is being harmed, as her child, I must stand up to protect her, even if it means my own demise. Of course, with my current origin, I certainly cannot help you break through to the Ruler, but what if we add the origins of the other three great universes?" As he finished speaking, the boy looked up into the distance, where three streams of light flew towards him and arrived at the island in the blink of an eye.
A young girl, a middle-aged woman, and a young man. Su Chen gazed at the three with a complex expression. " Undying, Eternal, Incantation Arts, are you three also willing to give up your origins and your lives?"
The girl sighed, " The Catastrophe has slaughtered countless lives in my Undying Universe and plundered countless Heart of the Earthfall. If I don't do something, the entire God Realm will be finished."
"This is a last resort," the young man said.
"But why did you choose me? You could have done it too," Su Chen said, still puzzled.
"Because you have fought against Calamity Ancestor and understand His secrets, but we do not. We only have one chance. If we are killed because we do not understand Calamity Ancestor, then the God Realm will truly be finished. We dare not gamble, so we can only choose you," the middle-aged woman said softly.
Su Chen remained silent.
"You don't need to feel guilty. This is our own choice. And even if our source is exhausted, we won't die. We just need time to regenerate our source, and then we will naturally be reborn," the boy said.
Su Chen remained silent.
"Alright, stop worrying about it. If you don't hurry up and break through to the Ruler realm, once the Calamity Ancestor descends upon the God Realm, there will truly be no chance left, and the God Realm will be doomed." The girl grabbed Su Chen's arm and said earnestly.
Su Chen remained silent for a long while before letting out a long sigh. His eyes no longer showed any hesitation, and he nodded, saying, "Alright, I will protect the God Realm, kill the Calamity Ancestor, and restore order to the God Realm. I will not let you down."
I've been busy writing my new book lately, and I'll release a lot at once when it's released so everyone can read to their heart's content. So, I'll only be updating once a week. Please understand.
