Book 5: Chapter 5: Re-creating a World Consciousness
Consequences? What consequences? The world consciousness faction goes on strike and returns home to visit?
If this also happened to the descendants of other transcenders, it would be over.
The dimensional sea had already suffered significant damage from two transcenders fighting. It could not afford another large battle any time soon.
“As long as you are happy. As long as you are happy. However, can you listen to a few more
words? This is also the conference’s decision.” Yes, Root Shiki had just received the conference’s final decision earlier.
Eighty percent of the world consciousnesses voted to let Chen Xiu deal with this as he pleased. Fifteen percent abstained, and only five percent objected.
Finally, the conference decided to leave this unlucky world consciousness’s disposal to Chen Xiu, as the conference could not bear the consequences of protecting it.
“Speak.”
“The conference decided to let you decide on how to deal with this world consciousnesses. However, we hope you will not utterly destroy it. Instead, after you kill this world consciousness, we want you to use the remaining origin to create another world consciousness.”
“Alright.” After Chen Xiu heard the final decision via Root Shiki, he said no more; he had already waited long enough. He extended his right index finger and jabbed.
A small, illusory, pocket-sized sword shot out Chen Xiu’s index finger and stabbed the forehead of the slumped world consciousness. That world consciousness initially had been moving a little. Now, it no longer showed signs of life.
Root Shiki took half a step back upon seeing this cruel scene. A world consciousness dying at the drop of a hat inflicted great mental damage on the young Root Shiki.
When the world consciousness died, Chen Heng strangely felt sorrow in his heart. It was not just Chen Heng but all humans and creatures in the world. Regardless of their strength, sorrow appeared in all their hearts.
Some powerhouses tried to use divination to figure out the origins of the sorrow. After vomiting copious amounts of blood, they received a ridiculous—rather, horrifying—message: the heavenly dao died.
After the world consciousness died, its initially illusory human figure started scattering. However, the Chen Clan ancestor again jabbed with his index finger. This time, it was different. The small sword that flew out did not contain the horrifying murderous intent of before. Instead, it carried the aura of new life.
After the small sword entered the dead world consciousness’s figure, the figure exploded. Then, the scattered world origin coalesced, birthing a smaller figure than the one that exploded.
Two or three seconds after this new illusory figure was birthed, it opened its eyes and blinked in confusion. Chen Heng got the feeling of a confused child.
Simultaneously, Chen Heng felt joy in his heart. It was not just Chen Heng. All lifeforms belonging to this world felt this joy. Those earlier powerhouses endured their injuries and made another divination. They discovered the birth of a new heavenly dao after the previous one died.
Soon after that, they vomited copious amounts of blood again, aggravating their injuries.
“So, why are you still here? Do you intend to participate in our Chen Clan’s internal affairs?” Chen Xiu glanced at Root Shiki and the two transcenders.
“Big Brother Chen, we’ll go ahead. Let’s have tea when you return to the Purple Firmament Palace.” Since these two transcenders were willing to be summoned by the world emergency measures, that meant they were from the world consciousness faction and usually were on good terms with Chen Xiu.
“Big Brother Chen, goodbye!”
“Goodbye!”
After the two transcenders vanished, Root Shiki gave it some thought and decided to leave, returning to her hospital bed. Although she was Chen Heng’s younger sister in name, Chen Xiu was currently fuming. What if her staying made him angry again?
The newborn world consciousness was still in a daze, standing there without moving. Chen Heng wondered if his ancestor made it retarded by accident when re-creating that world consciousness.
“Ancestor, please have a seat. I’ll brew some tea for you.” Chen Heng directed Chen Xiu to the sofa. Then he turned away to purchase 50 grams of tea leaves from the association’s store.
Don’t look down on these 50 grams of tea leaves. They cost 1,000 points.
According to the clan records, this ancestor enjoyed drinking tea and wine. However, only tea suited the current occasion. Furthermore, Chen Heng felt that the tea leaves in his storage space were not worthy of this ancestor, so he spent 1,000 points to purchase 50 grams of tea leaves from the association’s store.
Chen Heng could only bear to purchase 50 grams’ worth, as they were too expensive. Converted to LMD, they would cost 100,000,000 LMD.
Five minutes later:
Chen Xiu sat in the host’s seat as he sampled the tea Chen Heng brewed. Then he praised Chen Heng. “The tea is alright. It must have been tough for you to obtain such tea.”
Chen Heng stood at the side to serve his ancestor, while Sirin, Fafnir, Jeanne d’Arc, and Luo Li sat at the side and cautiously watched Chen Heng and Chen Xiu.
They had to be cautious. Right now, alarm bells were going off at full blast in their minds, especially Luo Li. That trashy system had been issuing mental warnings all the while, cowering in a corner and trembling there.
“Ancestor, it’s good that you are happy.” This is worth 1,000 points, yet he only says it’s alright? Chen Heng felt his ancestor said that only to preserve some face.
“Heng`er, sit. Don’t stand there.”
“Yes, Ancestor.” Chen Heng obediently sat in a position subservient to his ancestor after being instructed.
“Heng`er, if not for you returning to this world, I would have used this opportunity to go to the Multidimensional World Consciousness Conference and get justice for the Chen Clan. How can they escape blame by just paying with one world consciousness?”
“Ancestor, I have joined the Dimension Administrators Association after all, which helped me a lot, so I can’t just ignore Customer Service’s plea for help.” Chen Heng was also a person who differentiated between right and wrong. Although the world consciousness had caused him a lot of trouble, the Dimension Administrators Association had provided great assistance.
“I know. But the conference is indulging in the wildest fantasy if it wants to use this small favor to make up for the lives of 56 generations of my Chen Clan.” After saying that, Chen Xiu took another sip of tea. Even if it was of average quality, he had to drink more of it. After all, his descendant brewed this for him.
“Then, Ancestor, what do you plan to do?”
“I can only analyze the situation when the time comes. Let’s see first what the Multidimensional World Consciousness Conference’s attitude is.” Chen Xiu’s mood had improved significantly after crushing that world consciousness, so he slowly calmed down.
