"So, if you still have any dignity, I advise you to just leave directly. Then, I can pretend you were never here, and the impression you left on will still be that of ’sacrificing oneself for righteousness’ from last ti."
The Heavenly Repair Stone was silent for a mont, and its tone had grown much colder.
Facing Zhou Yan, it showed no courtesy whatsoever.
Now, having found a perfectly fitting inheritor, the Heavenly Repair Stone naturally had no need to be courteous to soone it regarded as no more than an ant.
This is perhaps the attitude of all true powerhouses—when they see no value in the person in front of them, they can decisively discard them.
Zhou Yan harbored no resentnt in his heart. In reality, after comprehending the greatest truth, he had already deduced his current predicant. Even when faced with such an unfavorable situation, Zhou Yan remained calm and unfazed.
In a situation with no apparent way out, this was undoubtedly the best way to behave.
"Now, with my mastery of the Xuanyuan Sword and all my rit Power, I am willing to relinquish them to obtain the qualification to enter the Inheritance Ancient Land. Moreover, I possess the Pan Emperor Bloodline, the Xuanyuan Bloodline, and even if you try to stop , you won’t be able to."
Zhou Yan thought for a mont and chose not to elaborate on the truth but instead stated his purpose.
"What a laughable notion. I told you to leave as a chance for you. Since you don’t want to leave, then stay!"
In the words of the Heavenly Repair Stone were already filled with killing intent, a very intense form of it.
From its perspective, not only did Zhou Yan act foolishly by provoking it, but even after the provocation failed, he still harbored sinister thoughts of seizing the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas, which was utterly unforgivable and repeatedly challenged the authority of the Heavenly Repair Stone.
Unless the other party was taught a harsh lesson, they would likely never co to their senses.
The Heavenly Repair Stone could understand the fall of a Heavenly Heart to the pursuit of strength, but soone as unaware as Zhou Yan was a first for it.
The initial trace of goodwill it held toward Zhou Yan had been completely wiped out by his actions.
Thus, the Heavenly Repair Stone no longer intended to be courteous to Zhou Yan, as his actions had worn its patience thin.
"I have the Pan Emperor Bloodline. I recomnded Hua Qiudao to you. Otherwise, the inheritance would have already been mine, yet you turn against now? Indeed, you are the Heavenly Repair Stone, a remarkable treasure once belonging to Nuwa.
But what of it? Do you dare defy the will of the bloodline and destroy ?"
"Regardless of the situation now, you still owe a piece of karma from before—if you choose Hua Qiudao over . So I’m rely asking to enter the Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas Inheritance Land, or are you worried that if I gain the inheritance, I would bring sha upon you?"
Zhou Yan let out a cold laugh and retorted.
Now, with the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas, Zhou Yan felt that considering how much everyone had sacrificed, it would be quite a tragedy if they fell victim to the sche of a mantis.
He gave it his all here, even resorting to using Soul Sea Power and rit Power to seek a chance to accept the inheritance, yet the Heavenly Repair Stone continually made things difficult and even resorted to threats.
This was utterly absurd, a colossal joke.
It could even be said that Zhou Yan was fighting not only for the Heavenly Repair Stone but for all life in the Soul Burying Starfield, and yet the other party not only showed no intention of helping but sought to eliminate him.
Is there anything more laughable and pitiful in this world?
Moreover, it was quite evident that when Zhou Yan ntioned that Hua Qiudao might bring calamity to the Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas inheritance, the mocking and sarcastic look in the Heavenly Repair Stone’s eyes was nothing short of ridicule.
"What a joke, an embarrassnt? You think you have the qualification to obtain the Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas’ inheritance? I believe you’re overestimating yourself. You’re right; Hua Qiudao was recomnded by you, which made pay more attention, thus finding this perfect inheritor early on. So indeed, I owe you a piece of karma. But you must know, if you use that karma to have allow you to enter the Inheritance Land, then the previous promise I made to protect Yi Xueyao, I will not fulfill!"
The Heavenly Repair Stone had now grown incredibly cold, and its tone was equally firm.
As it spoke, it hadn’t considered whether Zhou Yan would agree. With a thought, a crystal coffin imdiately flew out and landed in front of Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan’s expression darkened. At this mont, he fully understood that everything the other party had done before was rely a pretext for no longer assisting Yi Xueyao, forcing Zhou Yan to turn against them, and then seizing the opportunity to abandon responsibilities it didn’t want.
In other words, even if Zhou Yan did not insist, he held the opportunity and qualification to enter the Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas inheritance, sothing the Heavenly Repair Stone couldn’t prevent. Yet, the Heavenly Repair Stone used this chance to seize a karma from Zhou Yan, lifting its own commitnt, effectively erasing the original promise.
All of this ca down to Zhou Yan losing his ’value,’ while Hua Qiudao held more value. So the life and death of Zhou Yan’s friends were of no concern to the Heavenly Repair Stone.
This was the stark rule of reality. At such an almost immortal realm, like the Heavenly Repair Stone, how would one care for the life or death of an ordinary Heavenly Heart?
Zhou Yan picked up the crystal coffin and was about to place it into his Soul Sea when Yi Xueyao inside the crystal coffin suddenly opened her eyes and summoned all her strength to form a thread of rit Power.
"Zhou Yan, you don’t need to plead with him anymore. He treated well before, but after the perfect inheritor appeared, he abandoned completely. I had almost no hope left, just a tiny sliver of a chance to be revived, which was denied by him. But... I don’t regret it.
Though if I maintain an ethereal status now, you may have a chance to revive when you beco stronger, the essence of life and death truly doesn’t matter much. Having experienced happiness is already enough; the length of ti compared to the eternity of eternal life is always just a mont. For just a single mont, having one more breath or one less is really insignificant."
"So, Zhou Yan, thank you for your guardianship, thank you for your sacrifice. No matter what, I will always believe in you and believe that you will carve out a unique world."
"Those with a short-sighted vision will inevitably be buried by the years, dissipated by the dust, and erased by history."
Yi Xueyao, in order not to hinder Zhou Yan, and not to let Zhou Yan be troubled with the Broken Stele and Heavenly Repair Stone because of her, directly awakened her own Soul Body will, forced out the rit Power within her, and her entire Void Soul imdiately shattered and turned to ashes.
Although the Crystal Coffin was extraordinary, it couldn’t preserve a life that wholeheartedly wished for death.
Zhou Yan personally witnessed Yi Xueyao turning to ashes in the blink of an eye, yet he seed numbed and showed little emotional fluctuation.
He rely gave the Heavenly Repair Stone a cold, penetrating look, as if to deeply imprint this harsh reality of the Heavenly Repair Stone in his mind.
"No need to look at , since you don’t listen, and don’t know what’s good for you, then the favor you owe I will naturally take back. Well, the Emperor Temple has already opened, you can enter on your own.
"Now, I have already sensed the loosening of the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas, Hua Qiudao, has almost acquired the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas. You might as well go and see the gap between yourself and the true perfect inheritor."
The Heavenly Repair Stone carried a hint of mockery, smiling as he shook his head, seemingly elucidating Zhou Yan’s overestimation of himself.
After saying this, it turned into a ray of light and flew into the distance.
In the distance, the scene of the Broken Stele guarding this world appeared once again, only now, the glaciers and snow peaks had all disappeared, because even the Inheritance Land of the Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas had been sealed by the Heavenly Repair Stone.
Currently, within the sealing, the most perfect inheritor already existed, and the Heavenly Repair Stone did not wish for any unforeseen events.
Zhou Yan being able to enter might already be the greatest exception.
...
Beyond the light and shadow, so irregular changes occurred in the order of heaven and earth.
Heaven and Earth had beco different.
Snow Mountain.
The land was covered in vast white snow.
A massive snow peak stood right before him, atop the Snow Peak Summit, with the silhouette of a colossal virtual outline.
It was the outline of a stunningly beautiful woman’s silhouette.
She had the upper body of a Fairy, and the lower body like that of an ancient Dragon Emperor.
The existence of this silhouette embodied the Rule Power of this realm.
The Earth.
The earth held thick and icy snow, the snow had frozen, and the hard snow ground was far harder than so top-level Artifact Refining materials.
On the ground, in the distance, stood a sturdy, muscular man.
He held a gigantic axe, facing the snow peak in such a manner.
He was also a silhouette, an imprint of a silhouette with the Rule Power.
Snow peak, earth.
And the ocean, and islands, among others.
Here, Zhou Yan could see the heavens shattering with a single glance, he could witness the scene of Nuwa nding the heavens, he could see the illusion of Kua Fu chasing the sun.
He could also see the persistent determination of Jingwei filling the sea and Hou Yi shooting down the suns.
Here, as long as one senses heaven and earth, they can see a series of ancient myths truly manifesting within the illusion.
Moreover, each manifestation was imrsive, far more than a re simple illusion.
In this place, just like Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly and a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou.
Indistinguishable from each other.
Zhou Yan walked through this world, unable to sense the rules here, he could only sense the grand past of mythology.
Here, Zhou Yan could not see the signs of annihilation of the Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas, nor could he see why these ancient Great Powers suddenly faced destruction.
Zhou Yan’s mind imrsed in this world, witnessed all past myths and legends, watched all these legends transform into real scenarios unfolding, happening in the virtual void of mory.
Scene after scene, much like murals, akin to those murals inside the rooms of the Withered Bone Warship.
