Chapter 1450: Chapter 628: Boring, Interesting

"In that case, Black Charcoal Daoist, will you still trouble the Black Sky God Lord?"

Qi Yuan looked towards the Black Charcoal Daoist and asked indifferently.

The voice was very calm, devoid of any emotional color, yet it made the Black Charcoal Daoist’s heart skip a beat.

At their level of realm, the desire to survive, the desire for eternity, is no less than the desire to pursue the Dao.

"Having heard the senior’s poem, I am deeply saddened in my heart and had almost made such a grievous mistake," said the Black Charcoal Daoist, who was sensible, his expression such as if he and the Black Sky God Lord were true brothers.

Of course, in reality, he had no relation by bloodline or kinship with the Black Sky God Lord.

Just like the relationship between a planarian and a monkey.

"Right, if the people of the Yang Realm were all as sensible as you, that would be wonderful," Qi Yuan said.

Not just the Yang Realm—if the beings of the Yin Realm and the Rebirth Realm could all understand human speech.

If they could all be touched by Qi Yuan’s words, wouldn’t this world be filled with love everywhere?

The customs and practices of the Immortal Cultivation World would surely become more proper and upright as well.

Because the Black Charcoal Daoist understood human speech, the feast was joyful and harmonious without any unpleasant incidents.

The Black Charcoal Daoist sat to one side and asked in a low voice, "I don’t yet know the senior’s honorific name and which lineage you come from?"

Someone of Qi Yuan’s realm would not be an unknown; there should be traces to follow in this world.

The Black Charcoal Daoist was very curious about Qi Yuan’s identity and wondered who this person could be.

After asking, perhaps feeling a bit abrupt, the Black Charcoal Daoist introduced himself.

"I come from the Tian Guang lineage, where Fu Guang is the lineage head, and he has visited Origin Mountain."

Upon mentioning the lineage head, a look of reverence and pride gleamed in the Black Charcoal Daoist’s eyes.

In terms of strength, the lineage head of Tian Guang outstripped the Emperor God by a margin.

As he spoke, the Black Charcoal Daoist paid attention to Qi Yuan’s expressions and reactions.

"Fu Guang?" Qi Yuan was momentarily startled.

A long-lost memory from his San Sheng existence surfaced.

Fu Guang, he had encountered him once before.

Back when San Sheng went to Origin Mountain, Fu Guang once put forth his hand to protect the other Yang Fives.

Later, while San Sheng walked the Path of Reincarnation, Fu Guang achieved the status of Dao Lord.

What happened after that, San Sheng did not know.

"Does the senior know the lineage head Fu Guang?" the Black Charcoal Daoist asked.

"One of my avatars met him at Origin Mountain," replied Qi Yuan honestly without hiding anything.

"Avatar? Origin Mountain?" the Black Charcoal Daoist gasped in astonishment.

Both of these terms were enough to surprise him.

Regarding Qi Yuan’s identity, he became even more curious.

Certainly, it was the presence of an ancient and eternal being.

Of course, even if not, Qi Yuan’s current display of abilities did not require an identity to prove his strength.

Kings only need to sit upon their thrones; it is only the weak who need to prove their noble status.

...

"Life, quite dull indeed."

After parting with the Black Sky God Lord, Qi Yuan roamed alone in the Rebirth Realm.

Walking with the identity of San Sheng once upon a time, he experienced sensations starkly different from now.

Back then, what San Sheng sought was to know all the laws of the world, to seek to break the laws, and then walk his own path of reincarnation.

All the obsessions of San Sheng were for reincarnation.

Everything was for laying the groundwork for reincarnation.

Alas, San Sheng had the talent but not the clever mind of Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan, during his time on Vault Star, once posted online and gathered wisdom from many netizens to forge an unconventional Purple Mansion.

That is to say, the Netherworld.

Without the Netherworld, how could there be reincarnation?

A truth every Blue Star person understands.

Regrettably, San Sheng was not a Blue Star person and didn’t grasp such logic.

Of course, what’s most crucial is that San Sheng, as a Divine Child, did not have the vigorous nature of Qi Yuan to directly create the Netherworld.

Thus, Qi Yuan is just a step away from the reincarnation that San Sheng pursued.

"As long as I complete this game mission and protect the Abandoned Land, then... will I be able to step into the Sun God, or perhaps... wield control over reincarnation?"

"But what is a Sun God?"

Qi Yuan fell into contemplation again.

The path of reincarnation was clear to him.

It was the pursuit of the ultimate freedom and ease.

Even if all things amounted to "return to nothingness," and every existence in the world returned to "nothingness."

He could still control reincarnation within "nothingness," and seek his true self.

"It’s time to see Duke Nal, and see if this clever steward has given me any good ideas."

With a flash, Qi Yuan headed towards the Abandoned Land.

...

Simultaneously, within the Abandoned Land.

Zhao Jian’s face wore a look of concern.

"Bad luck, the cleansing of Heavenly King Mountain... It’s about to reach here, Duke Nal, won’t you really leave?"

Seeking the Three Purities, Zhao Jian hid in this world.

But three thousand years ago, Qi Yuan disappeared.

And powers as mysterious as Heavenly King Mountain began to sweep through the Abandoned Land, with numerous Tao Gods taking action.

Even those Tao Gods who had survived one or two of the Three Calamities and Tribulations joined in.

The notorious figures wanted in the Abandoned Land fell from grace, one after another, either down or crippled.

And Qi Yuan, a ruthless figure himself, was naturally on the list.

Luckily, there were just too many ruthless figures in the Abandoned Land, plenty of desperate fugitives, so Qi Yuan did not draw too much attention from the Tao Gods.

The sweep hadn’t yet reached the world where Duke Nal resided.

But it was closing in.

"Why should I leave? This is my home, I am the great clever steward personally appointed by the Vampire Emperor," declared Duke Nal, tilting his head as though it were the most natural thing in the world.

"But, the Vampire Emperor has not been seen for a long time, maybe..." Zhao Jian really wanted to say that not even the presence of the Vampire Ancestor would be of any help.

The mysterious forces like Heavenly King Mountain sweeping through the Abandoned Land, even Dao Lords of the Cosmic Alliance wouldn’t dare to intervene lightly.

This seems to be tied to a great causality, serious enough for a Tao God who has suffered the Three Calamities and Tribulations to deal with earnestly; perhaps even the legendary figures of Yang Six strength might cast their gaze this way.

How could Qi Yuan, a mere God Lord Realm figure, interfere in such a terrifying affair?

"I believe in the Emperor," Duke Nal said, patting his still childish chest.

"Sigh, if you don’t run now, it’ll be too late," Zhao Jian said. "I guess... it’s already too late."

Zhao Jian had actually wanted to run away a long time ago.

But then he thought better of it.

With Tao Gods being so mysterious and powerful, whether he ran away made little difference; the probability of encountering a Tao God would be the same.

Of course, there’s another reason; Qi Yuan had placed a prohibition on him, preventing him from leaving this place.

"Why should I run from my own turf?"

Just then, a familiar voice sounded.

When Zhao Jian saw the newcomer, his gaze surged and was complicated.

All these years, he had stayed here, in fact, for the so-called Three Purities.

If Qi Yuan could really bring out the Three Purities, perhaps even Dao Lords from the Cosmic Alliance would dare to attempt breaking into the Abandoned Land, taking Qi Yuan away from the hands of the numerous Tao Gods.

At this moment, Qi Yuan’s face bore a hint of regret.

"Sigh, didn’t think that having long legs could also lead to troubles—walked too fast, only took half a second to travel the distance light covers in a year.

If light traveled faster, could it cover a light year’s distance in half a year?

Came too early, if I had arrived later, might have witnessed the Tao Gods in action, suppressing this realm.

This realm is in grave danger; if I suddenly descend as a Savior, it would be most thrilling. Adding some excitement to a dull life."

Qi Yuan said languidly.

Next to him, Duke Nal’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

The Vampire Emperor has long been unseen, his words becoming more profound and unfathomable.

As for Zhao Jian, he wore a dazed expression.

He had thought about persuading Qi Yuan to possibly create the Three Purities, to lift his prohibition, in exchange for the help of the Cosmic Alliance’s Dao Lords.

Now it seems that Qi Yuan is truly ill, not just pretending.

Actually thinking of taking on those Tao Gods!
