Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1834: Chapter 499: Acting on Heaven’s Behalf, I Don’t Want To

"Yes."

"So, the Void Cliff where the Cliff Divine King resides, as long as he turns around, he can directly see the entire present world?"

"Exactly." The Mountain Lord nodded, then asked: "Have you been there?"

"I haven’t been there, but I have had contact with the Cliff Divine King and seen through that connection."

Yu Ziqing pondered for a moment and continued.

"That’s why the Cliff Divine King can descend, directly heading towards the present world.

And why, even though he resides in the void, you said it’s impossible to stop him in the void.

Because, while he is in the void, the path he takes leads from a place unknown in the Void Cliff, with just a turn, through a road that exists in the void, but not of it, into the present world."

The Mountain Lord frowned, thinking for quite a while, clarified the logic, and nodded.

"It’s likely so, only at the moment he descends to the present world can I make contact with him."

"So, your original plan was for Heavenly Monarch Luoge to step in, if necessary, to ultimately confront the Cliff Divine King and move into death together?"

"That’s right.

Because I’ve already killed the Divine King countless times.

I can’t truly kill him; he’s undying and eternal, coexisting with the Dao.

My power is insufficient to completely kill him."

"Can the Heavenly Monarch do it?"

"Even the Heavenly Monarch can’t, but indeed, a fallen Heavenly Monarch might."

Yu Ziqing fell silent, brewing and drinking tea, quickly sorting out the matters.

The Primordial Lord once said he had found a way to completely eliminate the Cliff Divine King.

And the core of the All Gods really consists of two.

One is the guarding Cliff Divine King, protecting the way of the All Gods, offering all fallen gods the possibility to transform back into deities.

The other is the Ancient Sea God.

If in normal circumstances, without Yu Ziqing’s appearance.

Highly likely, it would be a continuous wait, until necessary when the Primordial Lord found an opportunity, and the Heavenly Monarch would strike, capturing the Cliff Divine King.

Afterward, the All Gods would completely become history, and the fallen gods wouldn’t be able to become deities again, staying as Great Devil Kings forever.

Even though the Ancient Sea God can manipulate time, it generally requires at least an entire era to be effective.

For instance, from the establishment of the present world to the end of the Ancient Era, it took time until cultivators’ limits were stuck at the Ninth Tier.

Once the Cliff Divine King is dead, with just the most crucial Ancient Sea God left, relying on the passage of long time, the outcome remains uncertain.

After all, not even mentioning the grand era, even within every minor era of the grand era, there always appear several exceptional individuals.

Especially, the Dao Cultivator’s way, enacted by Dao Openers with crafty maneuvers, was cemented, beyond alteration.

And Dao Cultivators happen to be maniacal researchers, if encountering a challenging problem that a generation couldn’t solve, the problem remains, until some exceedingly impressive individuals arise to solve it.

As long as Dao Cultivators exist, if the time scale is lengthened, at least the lower limit is established.

Like the Ancient treasures lost over time, most modern innovations came from generational improvement and creativity.

As long as the speed of creation by Dao Cultivators exceeds the speed of manipulation by the Ancient Sea God.

Then many items, even before being lost, are already iterated over, making loss inconsequential.

This ensures that over the long years, stalemate with the Ancient Sea God can at least be achieved.

This secures the lower limit, while the upper limit depends on whether some extraordinarily capable individuals rise over time.

Given enough time, this becomes a probable event.

Once the two most crucial are dealt with, one dead, another held off, indeed there’s a chance to overturn the situation.

Yu Ziqing doesn’t know the exact details of the battle from back then but can roughly infer.

It surely was exceptionally brutal, with all races and gods, deities, paying significant costs.

After consideration, Yu Ziqing knows that now, finding the Primordial Lord is certainly about how to take down the Cliff Divine King.

The fallen Heavenly Monarch has also appeared, just to confront the impending Cliff Divine King.

But this was definitely a choice made when no other option remained, a necessary response.

Recalling the vague sensing from years ago, Yu Ziqing’s sixth sense now grows increasingly clear.

If they had a simple method, surely it would have been used long ago.

That method certainly also requires a considerable price.

After much thought, Yu Ziqing finally asked.

"Can the exact time of the Cliff Divine King’s descent be confirmed?"

"It can’t be confirmed, only roughly within the next thirty years."

"Understood, I will make a visit."

"Recently I also need to return to the Abyss, should anything arise, contact me immediately."

"Alright."

The Mountain Lord departed, directly returning beneath the Mountain Abyss.

The New Continent actually no longer needs his guardianship.

Because the Deep Sea Strange ones were mostly wiped out by Yu Ziqing, leaving only a few kittens, further troubled by the Black Ship Saint, even the remaining Little Stranges were scared out of their wits, hiding somewhere unknown long ago.

The former Mountain Abyss resembled a huge lid covering the Endless Darkness below.

Now the Mountain Abyss is becoming increasingly thin, with a substantial amount of power already reclaimed by the Mountain Lord.
