Chapter 1453: Chapter 631: All Things Lead to Nothingness

Within the Dark Void, Qi Yuan made a seemingly weightless move.

The Sword of Oblivion swung into action.

In an instant.

The rules of the Dark Void twisted and shattered.

Countless beams of light, lines, and colors were kneaded together, like paints mixed into one.

An ancient blood-colored Longsword spanned across the Dark Void, with all the Tao Rules submitting at its feet.

"I live for slaughter and destruction!"

Tu Feng Daoist bellowed, and the Tao Rules burst forth, as he sought a fight for a chance at life.

This was his strongest strike, easily capable of erasing a God Lord.

Even, it could be said to seriously injure the True Spirit of a weaker Tao God.

However, his attack, his Tao Rules, when facing that one sword, were incredibly fragile.

Or rather, not fragile, but utterly ineffective as a defense.

It was as if his attack did not even register the existence of that sword, allowing it to slash through unabated.

The Sword of Oblivion!

Capable of making any rule of the world forget its existence.

Tu Feng Daoist’s eyes bulged in fury, his True Spirit trembling: "How can this be?"

He was puzzled and unresigned.

Even faced with Yang Six at this moment, he still had the courage to engage in combat.

But now, what could he do against Qi Yuan’s sword?

"Forgetfulness is the true return to nothingness," came Qi Yuan’s calm and clear voice.

Tu Feng Daoist’s body stiffened, and his True Spirit froze in that moment.

All his memories were extinguished at that moment, including the Tao Rules he wielded.

His body shattered, True Spirit Silent Annihilation, the very existence of Tu Feng Daoist in this world was completely erased.

Not far away, the Heavenly King Mountain Master watched this scene, shaking with fear, unable to calm the shock in his eyes.

That was a Tao God!

Slain so effortlessly without any capacity to resist!

This Qi Yuan... could it be he has survived the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations, or is he even stronger?

You should know, even the one from the Abandoned Land would not find it so simple to kill Tu Feng Daoist.

And at that moment, Qi Yuan’s gaze turned towards the Heavenly King Mountain Master: "You’ve been good, not resisting, not running away."

How could the Heavenly King Mountain Master dare to run?

Seeing Qi Yuan in hot pursuit, moving effortlessly through this Dark Void, he knew that this Qi Yuan was unbeatable.

"This old life is willing to be offered to the elder. If the elder feels unworthy to take me as a subordinate, you may erase my mind and consciousness," the Heavenly King Mountain Master bowed his head, his attitude extremely humble.

He meant it plainly, to recognize Qi Yuan as his master.

If Qi Yuan disliked his existence, he could erase his consciousness and spirit.

Then, the new being born atop his True Spirit would be a fresh entity, utterly loyal to Qi Yuan.

"Interesting," Qi Yuan glanced at the Heavenly King Mountain Master, as if taking in a thousand years in a single look.

This Heavenly King Mountain Master, his True Spirit had been worn down at least a hundred times before.

His consciousness, personality, and spirit had been changed countless times.

And his original personality was also that of an exceptional Heaven Pride, always aspiring to survive the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations and to create the True Spirit Undying Method.

Time and again, barely enduring the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations, with his True Spirit worn down, personality, and consciousness falling, and new ones being born.

However, he never succeeded in all those attempts to overcome the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations.

It just shows how difficult it is to survive the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations.

"Just as well, I happen to need a Coachman." Qi Yuan waved his hand casually, choosing not to kill the Heavenly King Mountain Master.

This new Heavenly King Mountain Master, his personality and consciousness not long emerged, was not yet considered a First Love in the eyes of Qi Yuan.

"Heavenly King Mountain is willing to offer humble service!" The Mountain Master immediately kowtowed.

His honorable title was Heavenly King Mountain.

"Mhm," Qi Yuan nodded, then spoke, "Where is Heavenly God at this moment?"

In this game, Qi Yuan had several goals.

The first objective was to protect the Land of Oblivion.

The second was to step into the Path of Reincarnation.

The third was to advance to Sun God.

The final goal was to resolve the state of returning to nothingness.

Before settling these, he must meet with Heavenly God to resolve past grudges.

After all, Heavenly God is a breath’s transformation of San Sheng’s junior brother.

Between them, there have always been grudges.

San Sheng’s junior brother, always dutiful and aggrieved, struggling against the return to nothingness.

Even when San Sheng gave up the chance to advance to Yang Six, opting for the future-less Path of Reincarnation, his junior brother remained unwavering, contending against the return to nothingness.

However, relative to others, junior fellow apprentice’s strength is still too weak. In the return to nothingness, he perished, leaving behind only a breath of life, and a persistent obsession.

Unlike his admiration and reverence for San Sheng, his obsession held some complaints against San Sheng, even hatred.

This obsession also took it upon itself to resolve the return to nothingness.

However, the methods used are crude and explosive.

To resolve the return to nothingness, the Heavenly God would only create more nothingness.

It is even said that the Heavenly God created the Nine Heavens Divine Palace, desiring to bring the Yin Realm under control, using the beings of the Yin Realm as scapegoats for the beings of the Yang Realm to survive the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations.

"Your Highness, Heavenly God..." the Heavenly King Mountain Master fell silent for a bit before finally saying, "I do not know, but if the master goes to the Nine Heavens Divine Palace... there may be a chance to meet with the Heavenly God."

His meaning was quite clear.

If one were to forcefully storm in and subdue the Nine Heavens Divine Palace, they might be able to see the Heavenly God.

"We are going... to the Nine Heavens Divine Palace?" Qi Yuan was poised to act on the idea.

The countenance of the Heavenly King Mountain Master showed his dilemma.

"The headquarters of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace is located at the far north of the Rebirth Realm. The journey is long and arduous... with the great battle at the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain and the Soul-breaking Bridge, the route through Dark Void has been blocked; to reach the Nine Heavens Divine Palace, one must borrow a path."

Ten Thousand Gods Mountain and Soul-breaking Bridge are old adversaries, these two major powers often engage in battles.

This battle was of an immense scale.

It is even said that the strongest from both sides took action, exerting their mighty power to sever the Dark Void.

Therefore, even a Tao God could not traverse through it out of thin air and must borrow the path across the battlefield.

"Oh, that’s a trivial matter." Qi Yuan was indifferent.

Being a member of the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain, borrowing a path would be a simple matter for him, wouldn’t it?

...

"Return to nothingness."

"Cycle."

"Forgetfulness."

"Reincarnation."

Inside the carriage, Qi Yuan laid down lazily, a trace of worry between his brows.

Although, unlike San Sheng who mastered the Netherworld and walked the Path of Reincarnation with an advantage,

the Path of Reincarnation that Qi Yuan sought was ultimately extraordinary.

After all, establishing the Netherworld and reviving the dead is something any Dao Lord could achieve.

But Qi Yuan’s Reincarnation was about confronting the return to nothingness.

Any being that perished from this return to nothingness, even if their True Spirit was eroded and forgotten by everyone, leaving not a trace in the Cosmic Mother River, could still walk out through Reincarnation.

The Reincarnation he sought was tantamount to standing against all Cultivators of the Yin Realm, Rebirth Realm, and the Yang Realm.

Let’s say the Heavenly Emperor is mighty, right?

The Heavenly Emperor has many methods, and can effortlessly eradicate a person, destroying their True Spirit.

And if Qi Yuan wanted to revive that person, to let them walk out of Reincarnation, then in fact... he would be opposing the Heavenly Emperor’s Tao.

Therefore, his Reincarnation could be considered as having the world against him.

"Not only do I have the world against me, but I also need to... confront the Drowning Curse."

The Drowning Curse afflicting San Sheng is particularly terrifying.

Only the Sword of Oblivion can contend with it.

"The Drowning Curse keeps corroding... I fear I may awaken the Innate Illusionary Sacred Body."

In the Abandoned Land, while using the Sword of Oblivion to battle the Drowning Curse, Qi Yuan’s constitution began to change, even awakening a special constitution, the Innate Illusionary Sacred Body.

Illusionary, it represents nothingness, a complete void.

If the Sword of Oblivion is used excessively, it’s possible... one day Qi Yuan will cease to exist, leaving only a symbol, silent like tranquility.

"Heavenly King Mountain, tell me... if I forget the return to nothingness, do I stand a chance against it?" Qi Yuan pondered and asked at that moment.

The Great Oblivion Heart Sutra is a powerful ability and his Origin Divine Power.

If using the Great Oblivion Heart Sutra as a foundation, to face the return to nothingness... is there a chance to step into Reincarnation?

And all fallen beings would forget the fact of their own death.

"Master, the matters you speak of are far too profound for this old one," said the Heavenly King Mountain Master carefully, "However, forgetfulness... is indeed a great terror. It... is also a form of return to nothingness."

Many Tao Gods, Dao Lords, and even beings above Yang Five, prefer to use the means of forgetfulness to utterly wipe out a being.

To erase all traces across all timelines, even the one who acted will erase that segment of memory.

In this way, that particular being will be utterly non-existent.

It’s like in a feudal dynasty, someone has torn a page out of the history book. After a thousand years, who would know of the person recorded on that torn page?

"You’ve reminded me, forgetfulness is also a return to nothingness." Qi Yuan felt somewhat disappointed.

The Heavenly God is a return to nothingness.

The Heavenly King Mountain Master is a return to nothingness.

The Heavenly Emperor is a return to nothingness.

So is he.

His Great Oblivion Heart Sutra is also a return to nothingness.

The Sword of Oblivion is as well.

How to deal with this return to nothingness?
