Chapter 1614: The Final Resort
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ding Xiaoru shook his head with resignation upon hearing this.
“I can ensure I don’t die as I am the heavens of that world. As for other living beings, they will still suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao after escaping into my world as the heavens of my world is still of a lower level than the Heavenly Dao of the Tai Chu Continent.
“This is like creating a small, independent box within a large box. The large box can’t destroy the small box, but it can use its power to influence the living beings within the small box.
“In other words, I’m invincible, but I can’t ensure the safety of other living beings within my world. The Heavenly Dao is intent on destroying the human race, so they won’t allow any humans to exist in a God of Creation’s world. The power of the Heavenly Dao will seep in from all sides and bring destruction to them even more quickly.”
An Lin was still a little perplexed. “What if Heaven and Life decide to purge all of the living beings on the entire continent? Li Yiyin is not a God of Creation, so what will you do then?”
Ding Xiaoru smiled. “I can’t protect all living beings, but it should be no problem for me to protect Yiyin with all my powers.”
“I don’t want your protection! I’m going to progress to the God of Creation Stage and be with you forever.” Li Yiyin pouted as she looked at Ding Xiaoru.
Their eyes met and smiles appeared on both of their faces as they enveloped each other in a tight hug.
It was a sickening, lovey-dovey scene to behold.
An Lin didn’t look at them. Instead, he turned toward Tina with curiosity in his eyes. “How many people would you be able to protect?”
“I don’t know. I don’t have a sufficient understanding of the power of the Tai Chu Continent’s Heavenly Dao. However, seeing as Ding Xiaoru can only protect one person, and I’m not even at God of Creation Stage, so I can protect maybe... half a person?” Tina speculated as she blinked her emerald eyes.
An Lin: “...”
“However, if I make my Divine Mirror World outstrip the Tai Chu Continent and make my little box even bigger than the big box, then the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t be able to do anything to me!” Tina’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Ding Xiaoru couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon hearing this. “That is entirely impossible. Even after Pangu created the Tai Chu Continent, he was unable to create a second Tai Chu Continent. The Tai Chu Continent is the most core and primitive existence. No world can take its place...”
“Oh...” Tina nodded, but she remained unconvinced.
Her Divine Mirror World was leveling up very quickly, so what if she could do it?
As a Goddess of Creation, it would be quite pitiful if she didn’t even have the confidence to surpass the Tai Chu Continent with her world!
“In comparison to creating a world of a higher level than the Tai Chu Continent, it’s more realistic to cultivate and become an existence that transcends beyond even God of Creation Stage. Of course, when I say realistic, this is only in comparison to creating a world superior to the Tai Chu Continent.
“However, this is also quite unrealistic for us.” Ding Xiaoru spoke with a smile, “In order to transcend beyond the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and attain true transcendence, at least to my knowledge, only Pangu, who is a god born from chaos, was able to do so. No one else had been able to take that step...
“In the face of the Heavenly Dao’s power, we can only hide in the worlds we created. However, a being above God of Creation Stage has already transcended beyond the entire heaven and earth, so there is nowhere they cannot go.”
Even Patriarch Zhu Yin displayed an expression of yearning at the mention of this.
“Transcending beyond the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth...” An Lin murmured, and a thought suddenly occurred to him. “You mean the Heavenly True Immortal?”
He had a system mission regarding a high-rank War God Mystic Technique known as Dark Immortal Transformation. In order to complete that mission, he had to find the essential remains of the Heavenly True Immortal and consume it.
“Heavenly True Immortal?” Patriarch Zhu Yin stroked his chin. “That sounds a little familiar... As for Pangu, he refers to himself as the Chaos Patriarch God, so the title of Heavenly True Immortal can’t apply to him... I recall that the destruction of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm seemed to have something to do with this Heavenly True Immortal...”
An Lin’s heart jolted upon hearing this. He had heard some information about the Heavenly True Immortal from the Celestial Thearch. It was recorded on a stone plaque in the Ancient Tai Chu Realm.
It looked like he would have to go to the Ancient Tai Chu Realm if he wanted more information!
As for the Heavenly True Immortal, Patriarch Zhu Yin didn’t really have any useful information.
An Lin didn’t press the issue any further. However, he was a little disappointed that his prior speculation wouldn’t work.
God of Creation Stage living beings could only protect themselves in the face of the Heavenly Dao’s attacks. Protecting others would be impossible, so the human race didn’t have that option as a final resort.
They either had to crush the heavens or mend the heavens.
Nuwa was a Goddess of Creation, so was her Heaven Mending Sect really reliable?
The Heaven Crushing Sect had given the human race a lot of hope, but its leader was Cyril. He was also a God of Creation, so would he wholeheartedly protect the human race?
His goal was probably not to protect the living beings on the Tai Chu Continent. He was most likely trying to rely on the power of the human race to crush the heavens, thereby allowing him to take its place!
So what were the other Gods of Creation doing?
Among the Daoist Trinity, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, Pangu, was an existence beyond God of Creation Stage. As such, the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure and the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue were at least God of Creation Stage as well. What were they doing?
Daolord Lu Ya was also at the God of Creation Stage. What was he doing?
An Lin didn’t understand the thought processes of these mighty figures. What he did know was that relying on oneself was much better than relying on others. He had to hurry up and become more powerful!
In the northern region of the Opposite Shore Realm.
There was a dark and dim sky, and beneath it was the vibrant and colorful earth.
Countless steep, jagged mountains rose into the sky like sharp swords.
Some of them were several thousand feet tall, and there were even some that were hundreds of thousands of feet tall, extending straight into the heavens.
All of the mountain peaks had all sorts of dark energy revolving around them. This energy was imbued with the power of yin and frost, and it was one of the most terrifying energy sources in the Opposite Shore Realm—the Dark Earthly Energy.
Amid the myriad of mountain peaks, there was a colossal mountain three hundred and sixty thousand feet tall.
It was the center of the veins of the earth in the northern part of the Opposite Shore Realm, and a boundless Dark Earthly Energy gathered here.
The mountain was extremely sharp, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, but it was also like an abyss of despair.
At the same time, it was also where one of the ten main cities of the Opposite Shore Realm— Tian Ming City—was located.
The city was constructed on the side of the mountain, and the streets wound up to the peak of the mountain like coiling dragons. Countless buildings were also perched in extremely precarious ways, some of which were even hovering in the air, and no one could even be bothered to construct a bridge to connect those buildings to the mountain.
However, all of the living beings here were already used to this.
All of them could hover, so it didn’t matter how high up or how precarious these constructions were!
Most adult ghosts had mastered the skill of hovering for a long time or a short time. If one couldn’t hover, they would be too embarrassed to even refer to themselves as members of the Ghost Tribe.
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, Tina, Ding Xiaoru, and Li Yiyin also hovered all the way up Tian Ming City, and all of them were clad in black cloaks.
