Chapter 1457: Chapter 635: The Fall of the Heavenly God

Heavenly God, transformed from a single strand of persistent obsession of Senior Brother San Sheng.

An alternative Yang Liu.

Originally, the name San Sheng was known to everyone in the Yang Realm.

However, many have overlooked Heavenly God, the junior brother of San Sheng.

His talent was also terrifyingly astounding.

If not for San Sheng, he might have been one of the most dazzling lights of that era.

It’s just that his brilliance was completely overshadowed by San Sheng.

In Qi Yuan’s view, if things had gone as scripted, this junior brother, also known as Heavenly God, would have likely turned dark long ago.

However, Heavenly God... did not turn dark.

He always worked diligently without complaint, even patching up the oversights for San Sheng.

Only at the end, when his clan was consumed by Wu Fa, with no escape, did he finally fall.

A strand of persistent obsession was born, transforming into Heavenly God to confront Wu Fa.

And He likewise became another alternative Yang Liu.

The significance of His existence was to oppose Wu Fa.

Or rather, the portion of the responsibility that San Sheng failed to fulfill, was to be completed by Him.

Qi Yuan stood amidst the void, yet Heavenly God did not appear before his eyes.

He sighed deeply.

"Regardless of the past... between you and me, we are ultimately in opposition."

San Sheng’s junior brother bore no hatred towards San Sheng.

However, his persistent obsession is another matter.

Especially since the actions of Heavenly God have now stood in opposition to Qi Yuan.

If we say the remaining Yang Liu’s approach to confronting Wu Fa was rather mild, including San Sheng,

Heavenly God’s methods were extraordinarily fierce.

Even to the extent that Heavenly God established the Nine Heavens Divine Palace, with intentions of enslaving the Yin Realm and even the Rebirth Realm, using creatures of the Yin Realm and the Rebirth Realm to mass-produce beings capable of overcoming the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations to combat Wu Fa.

However, this method sacrificed the creatures of the Yin Realm.

In regards to the Abandoned Land, Heavenly God and the Heavenly Emperor had differing views.

For creatures that stray into the Abandoned Land, the Heavenly Emperor chooses to let them pay the price to eliminate the Drowning Curse.

The choice of Heavenly God is simple execution.

Because, for Heavenly God, any creature that strays into the Abandoned Land and dies due to Wu Fa is only serving to empower Wu Fa.

Qi Yuan stood quietly.

Heavenly God is a tough nut to crack.

Or rather, even the current Qi Yuan has no certainty of victory over this alternative Yang Liu.

In fact, he is at a disadvantage.

Unless, he truly seeks reincarnation and steps into the next realm.

The wind heard it, the rain paused.

Fighting spirit quietly permeated the air.

Powers across the Universe retreated involuntarily or protected themselves with Secret Techniques.

Even the slightest leak of such a high-level fighters’ battle could injure them.

"Is the battle finally going to commence?"

"How many years has it been since a battle between such high-level fighters was seen!"

"This old one wants to see just how wide the gap is between us and them."

For who knows how many years, no battle of this intensity has occurred in this world.

The strength of the Cosmic Alliance at this moment faced a dilemma.

To help or... not to help?

After all, this Qi Yuan has deep connections with the Yang Realm, what if... Qi Yuan sides with the Yang Realm.

If they offer help and suffer heavy losses, and Qi Yuan then turns coat in alliance with the Yang Realm, the Cosmic Alliance could immediately collapse.

Of course, even before Qi Yuan was a creature of the Yin Realm, this possibility could exist.

But it’s a gamble in the end.

"To help or not to help?" Black Crow Daoist spoke up.

"If we don’t help, in this battle, Qi Yuan is very likely to perish!"

"This is our only chance, our unique opportunity to enter the Yang Realm, our sole chance to ascend to the pinnacle!"

The Dao Lords whispered among themselves, many looking towards the Dao Lord who controls the Path of Destiny.

"I..."

The voice from the bronze mirror hesitated, ultimately distorting.

"I can’t see clearly!"

"Can’t see it at all!"

In a battle involving such high-level fighters, even he, the Dao Lord in charge of destiny, couldn’t see the outcome of this battle, nor the path ahead.

However, at this moment, the Dao Lords of the Cosmic Alliance suddenly froze.

Not just them, the surrounding powerhouses at this moment all wore expressions of astonishment.

Because... the great battle had not begun.

What commenced... was deathly silence, or rather, annihilation.

Heavenly God... died!

Or perhaps...the Heavenly God is perishing.

This...is enough to shock everyone, or maybe...horrify them.

After all, the Heavenly God is an atypical Yang of the Six.

Just like that...dead?

"I...am unwilling."

The dissolving Heavenly God, with reluctance in his voice, yet his expression remained calm.

Hearing this, Qi Yuan’s gaze slightly darkened.

As the Heavenly God was dissolving, countless information particles were dissipating, and he understood a great deal.

The Heavenly God was a sliver of lingering obsession left by his junior brother.

The purpose of this sliver of obsession was always to resolve the Curse.

Originally, San Sheng disappeared to search for the Path of Reincarnation.

He alone confronted the Curse, ultimately falling in battle, leaving only his obsession to fight the Curse.

Thus, in the Heavenly God’s born life, he was combating the Curse.

Even one might say, he embarked on an atypical path of the Six Yangs.

However, no matter what, no matter how strong the Heavenly God was, he was not the perfect Yang of the Six, and one might even say, he was merely a thread of obsession.

The junior brother’s obsession was to solve the Curse.

But in the junior brother’s heart, San Sheng would walk the correct Path of Reincarnation and ultimately resolve the Curse.

In his heart, San Sheng was perfect, invincible, omnipotent.

Latterly, San Sheng, due to the junior brother’s death, had a flawed Tao heart. Coupled with the inability to glimpse Reincarnation, chose to settle for the path of cycles as a fallback.

That’s why the Heavenly God, formed from the obsession, felt disappointed.

San Sheng... did not walk the Path of Reincarnation; instead, he chose the path of cycles.

Then, what is the meaning of everything?

It would have been better to choose any other path of Yang of the Six from the beginning.

Of course, what disappointed the Heavenly God the most was that San Sheng would abandon the cherished Path of Reincarnation due to his death.

In his eyes, San Sheng was perfect, omnipotent.

Yet in the end, out of sentimental attachment to his fellow sect members, he abandoned Reincarnation for the path of cycles.

The Heavenly God was very disappointed, very pained.

Since...the Senior Brother can’t do it, then, he shall resolve the Curse.

Thus, the Heavenly God established the Nine Heavens Divine Palace, constantly creating the strong, to fight against and resolve the Curse.

But... when the Heavenly God saw Qi Yuan.

The obsession pulsed.

The Heavenly God seemed to see... Qi Yuan had the opportunity to resolve the Curse.

Or perhaps, this time, the Heavenly God’s obsession chose to trust Qi Yuan again.

He believed... in Qi Yuan, or perhaps the Senior Brother San Sheng, was still that omnipotent Senior Brother.

Who could shield him from the storm, who could... completely resolve the Curse.

Thus, in the Heavenly God’s arrangement, if there was no Senior Brother San Sheng, then he would resolve the Curse.

But upon seeing Senior Brother San Sheng, then... he would once again place his trust in San Sheng, and then... fade away.

This was his arrangement, as well as his obsession.

The Heavenly God’s eyes were clear, his body continuously dissolving, his True Spirit also perishing.

"San Sheng, or perhaps Qi Yuan... if you are unable to resolve the Curse... I... will surely come back."

Qi Yuan watched the Heavenly God as if seeing his junior brother.

The Heavenly God’s True Spirit was dissolving continuously.

His power, because of the arrangement, or perhaps... the Heavenly God’s obsession, enveloped Qi Yuan.

The formidable power, and the rules of the Great Dao, were being infused into Qi Yuan.

This was the accumulation of all the experiences from the Heavenly God’s years of confronting the Curse.

And also, the Heavenly God’s understanding of the Curse.

As well as, the Heavenly God’s insights on Yang of the Six.

Qi Yuan then understood, over these many years, the Heavenly God’s struggle against the Curse, and the afflictions by the Drowning Curse, were no less arduous than San Sheng’s creation of the cycle’s method.

In truth... the Heavenly God was at his wits’ end, or perhaps at the limit of his strength.

Perhaps before long, the last of the Heavenly God’s obsession would also dissipate, leaving only a symbol in existence through time.

And then... slowly forgotten by all, completely returning to the Curse.

Whispers, also at this moment, began to ring by Qi Yuan’s ears.

Qi Yuan seemed to see, his junior brother, standing alone against the Curse, protecting the clan at the periphery of the Universe, with vital energy dissolving, at death’s door, whispering to himself.

"Senior Brother San Sheng, when I was young, it was you who protected me, protected the Sect, protected the clan... I have always stood behind you, resting assuredly whilst enjoying all this."

"Now that you are not here, it’s my turn to protect the clan for you."

"Actually, you don’t owe the clan anything, nor do I, but they... always blame you, it’s truly detestable."

"Senior Brother San Sheng, I know, you will definitely find the most perfect reincarnation."

The phantom dissipated, like the fleeting nature of a dream or illusion, as if it never existed.

The ferocious voice of the Heavenly God echoed at this moment.

"You and I are both returning to the Curse, he’s confused!"

After this roar, he ultimately perished, returning to the Curse.
