Chapter 322 The wind blows and the stars fall like rain!
The limits of the body, the limits of the spirit, the limits of existence.
When reaching the third level, even the real name is already shaky. This is already the real limit of existence. So... what about going up and reaching the fourth level?
What is the limit here?
The answer is... the world's limits.
Even if your body and spirit are gone, the world will remember your name and remember that you once existed.
But if the entire world were to be destroyed, then everything that existed would truly disappear.
The Creator is an existence that can transcend the world at any time, so He can easily stay in the fourth layer of the sky for tens of thousands of years.
And Yu Cang... well, actually, Yu Cang himself didn't know why he was qualified to come to this place. He just had an intuition that he knew he could come here, so he came here.
As for the specific reason, perhaps it was the identity of the traveler? Perhaps it was the entry recorder? Or perhaps it was the power of the Emperor Star? Or perhaps it was all related. Yu Cang couldn't figure it out yet, and he didn't need to figure it out.
Now standing here, Yu Cang has completed his self-repair with his own strength and will, and can now leisurely extend an invitation to the Creator.
Below my feet, fireworks filled the sky from under the clouds, and colorful lights were transmitted to the sky. Although they were weak, they were still not inferior to the aurora in the sky.
Yu Cang knew that tonight's fireworks show had probably already begun. It was a pity that he didn't finish the trial before the fireworks show and go with Jie Shuang, but it would be the same if he watched from the sky.
Anyway, there is more than just one fireworks display in the world.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the sky.
"This place... is really scary."
The fourth level is still not the end.
When he truly stood at this height, Yu Cang already knew that both the Creator and Yu Cang still had the possibility to continue moving forward.
However, if they go any further, the cost will be beyond what the two of them can afford.
The fourth level is the limit of the world. Continuing upwards means breaking through the entire world and letting the collapse of the world serve as the driving force to rush to higher places.
Feng Yue Cangjian can still repair the physical and mental damage, but if the world collapses, there will be no power that can repair it.
After all, Fengyue Cangjian is just an alien space built by the Star God with the help of the Heavenly Authority of Blue Star. It cannot possess the power to surpass the entire world.
Looking at the Creator in front of him, Yu Cang finally understood how He was sealed in this Fengyue Cangjian.
When Nian told Yu Cang about the origin of the Creator, Yu Cang had a doubt: Can this world really trap the Creator?
After all, the Blue Planet is just an eggshell, and the Creator can easily break it with just a mouth. Logically speaking, even if the power of the entire world is gathered, it is impossible to create a permanent and solid seal... As long as the Creator wants, he will be able to break the seal sooner or later.
After all, although the Star God should be very powerful, he is just a creature in this world.
But after standing on the fourth floor, he knew it - Star God, which connected the fate of the Creator and the entire Blue Planet together.
Here, if the Creator continues to move upwards, he will break through the entire world; and if he moves downwards, it will trigger Feng Yue Cangjian's mechanism to repair his body... But he is the Creator, and repairing his body is something that even if he directly drains the power of all living beings on Blue Star, he may not be able to do.
Although the Creator himself does not care too much about the survival of the Blue Planet, you have to know that for a young creature, pecking through the eggshell on its own initiative means new life; but if the eggshell is crushed directly, it means premature death.
The Creator is now facing this situation - if He does not stay here, the world will collapse directly, and He will not be able to complete the process of breaking out of the shell. He will not even be able to see the doomsday scene that He has been thinking about in Feng Yucangjian.
Failure to hatch normally might mean death for Him.
Although the current Creator has become a mythical being, he is still just a young child after all, powerful yet fragile. Perhaps this refers to His current state.
In other words, Feng Yue Cangjian did not actually seal the Creator at all. The one who actually sealed Him was himself.
After all… from Stardust's description, the Creator was sealed away without much resistance. Perhaps, at that time, He wasn't very resolute either…
Above the fourth layer, there is darkness dotted with stars, and the aurora spreads across the horizon, making this place look like the edge of the divine realm.
Yu Cang gently raised his hand… Perhaps, from here upwards, is the "star realm" that even Ye Yan is desperately looking for.
This feeling that the world could be destroyed with just a slight leap... is really scary.
However, Yu Cang also knew that if he wanted to continue moving upwards, he would probably be crushed by the huge pressure of the entire world. The distance he moved upwards would probably not even be enough to cause a few earthquakes on the Blue Planet.
So, just ignore it for now.
He returned his gaze to his Creator.
On the opposite side, the Creator seemed to have fallen into a long silence.
He had to admit that he seemed to have indeed underestimated the human in front of him.
Although the Emperor Star is dead, the power of its destiny star will not always be manifested to affect the character of the chosen person, but... it is still a difficult thing to not be influenced by the Emperor's heart.
After all, Emperor Star had been influencing Yu Cang since he was just a child.
No one would have thought that Yu Cang was actually a time traveler - if he was taking over the body of a newborn, then this person's life star would definitely still be the same as before the possession, but Yu Cang's time travel was a complete reincarnation.
It is already extremely difficult not to be influenced by the Emperor's Heart, and it is almost impossible to conquer the Emperor's Heart...
At this moment, He suddenly thought of what Yu Cang did when he entered the second level.
He…fused all traces of will in that layer into one, giving Nian a vehicle for ascension.
When the Creator saw that domineering power that integrated everything, he thought it was just the manifestation of the power of the Emperor Star. But now it seems... that's not the case. Could it be a skill that Yu Cang himself had comprehended?
For the first time, the Creator's eyes revealed genuine admiration when he looked at Yu Cang.
In fact, his idea was not wrong. Although Yu Cang realized the fusion will by himself, he did receive "hints" from Emperor Star. Even so, there is still a difference between integrating everything and dominating everything.
"You're quite good, Yu Cang," the Creator said softly. "It seems that the civilization that the Imperial Star was determined to nurture, even at the cost of its own life, truly holds the potential to reach even greater heights."
"So, will you come with me?"
"...I refuse." The Creator said slowly, "I don't owe Blue Star, nor do I owe this starry sky. I don't need to fight for them."
"Isn't the sky always lonely?"
"I don't care."
"If you really don't care, why do you have to spread visions every year?" Yu Cang said, "You are also... looking forward to seeing you again in the New Year to reminisce about the past, right? And, you are also looking forward to the next person who comes to the third level to chat with you about the affairs of the human world."
Yu Cang has figured it out now.
Feng Yue Cangjian is just a seal and does not have the so-called trial ability.
The process of continuously moving towards the sky is actually the process of continuously going deeper into this seal.
However, not everyone is qualified to be sealed by Feng Yue Cangjian.
If you don’t have enough talent and ability, you can’t even reach the first level of the sky; and if you don’t have enough strength, then even if you reach the fourth level, you can turn around and leave. It won’t take much effort for Feng Yue Cangjian to reshape your body.
Only a being like the Creator, with both supreme status and power, would be trapped in it.
In reality, entering the Fengyue Cang realm didn't require the Creator's imposing presence or the creation of a soul energy sphere as a "key." Anyone strong enough could ascend to the sky and enter. However, only a select few could see the Creator, and those strong enough to fly were aware of this world and wouldn't rush into higher levels.
The Creator is also looking forward to people coming, especially young people coming, so he uses his own pressure to create soul energy keys for extradition to help them enter; that is why he gives everyone who comes in a little reward to attract more people.
He was truly lonely, hoping someone would come to the third floor and talk to him about the affairs of the world. His feigned indifference... perhaps childish? Who knows.
The Creator looked away.
"...It's just that I'm a little unfamiliar with the human world right now."
In the past, because everything on Blue Star originated from the Creator, nothing would exceed His expectations. But since the fall of the Imperial Star, giving rise to human society, more and more things have gone beyond His expectations.
The civilization of Blue Star has a new source - for Him who has lived for endless years, these unexpected things can indeed arouse His curiosity.
"So, come with me and take a look." Yu Cang invited again.
"...You should know that I can't leave here. Once I leave, the world will fall apart."
"Of course I have my own way."
The Creator fell silent.
He didn't look at Yu Cang, but turned his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Are you still hesitating?"
Yu Cang chuckled, not surprised.
"How about this - let's have another fight."
“…You can’t beat me.”
"I think so too." Yu Cang did not deny it, but said, "But - why not make a bet with me? After the battle, you will definitely go with me willingly, believe it or not?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
"what are you up to?"
"duel."
"...Okay." The Creator nodded slightly, then jumped off the cloud and hovered in the air.
The aurora swirls gently around Him, protecting His gorgeous body.
"Show your strength."
Yu Cang smiled, then opened his arms and pretended to take a deep breath, as if he wanted to smell what the air here smelled like - but there was no air here for him to breathe.
"Creator, I want to introduce you to one of my comrades." Yu Cang stretched out his hand, and a golden name slowly condensed from the nothingness above his palm. "It was he who first made me realize the vastness of the world and the dangers of chaos. He fought alongside me for the longest time, and he is my dearest friend.
"Stand by my side—Dawnbreaker, Night Comes!"
Buzz!
Dazzling golden light burst out from the name in the palm of his hand. Suddenly, the entire sky seemed to be inexplicably darkened at this moment. With Yu Cang in front of him as the dividing line, the aurora in half of the sky suddenly dimmed, as if the light in it had been absorbed.
In the sudden darkness, a pair of vast wings spread out, and the sky darkened, as if a night curtain had spread out.
Without a loud roar, the pitch-black dragon appeared and quietly floated in mid-air, starlight streaming slowly along its scales. The dragon remained silent, its eyes fixed on a white longsword. Within the hollowed-out hilt of the sword's hilt, a single white dragon pupil hovered, swirling around it with two golden circles, like eyelids.
Yu Cang, with all the real names given to him, came to the fourth floor together, and Ye Lai was among them.
Due to the special rules of Fengyue Cangjian, most of the conventional restrictions were absent. Therefore, even a legendary Ye Lai could be summoned by Yu Cang easily.
"Lord of this body—greetings to you."
Ye Lai nodded, and the night around him became even darker.
He just passed it down, but here, it is not just passed down.
The power engraved in the name Ye Lai is far more than just a passing down of generations.
On the opposite side, the Creator adjusted his head amidst countless auroras, and the expression in his eyes did not change much.
"Yu Cang, this amount of power alone cannot cause any disturbance in my heart," He said softly, "Call out more of your comrades."
Hearing this, Yu Cang smiled lightly and looked at Ye Lai: "What do you think?"
“…I am enough.”
"Okay, I believe you." Yu Cang nodded slightly, then stepped back, giving Ye Lai space to fight.
In fact, although he really came to the fourth floor, Yu Cang didn't know how to convince the Creator to go to the mortal world with him.
He still knew too little about the Creator. Although Nian had told him a lot, Yu Cang still saw no hope in it - He had lived for too long, and his age was probably in the billions. In such a long time, what had He not seen?
Even though He was still in the childhood of His entire life...but anything Yu Cang said was still not convincing enough for Him.
After all, even though Yu Cang had promised him to be his comrade, it still came down to the Soul Card. Even if Yu Cang would communicate with him as an equal, there would still be an invisible distinction between high and low. How could such a situation be accepted by a being as high and mighty as the Creator?
It was his own request to go out to fight at night.
As early as when he was climbing Mount Zunyue, he had felt something. He knew that there would be this battle, so he quietly returned to the chaos to adjust his state. Therefore, when he appeared at this moment, his essence, energy and spirit were already at the peak!
The lingering night, the restrained yet vast momentum and dragon power, it was as if he was truly a god who lived in the darkness and would eventually bring the dawn!
But even so, such power is still not enough in front of the Creator.
The Creator raised his head and felt it carefully, as if he wanted to find something in this power, but after a moment, he only felt angry.
"Is this the power you think is enough to change my mind?"
The aurora was like a waterfall, suddenly rolling back, and the heaven and earth seemed to have fallen into silence at this moment. A hint of anger from the Creator was enough to make the heaven and earth pale in comparison!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless dark cracks began to spread along the sky. The space here was already thin, and now it carried the wrath of the Creator. How could it be stable?
The world was torn apart in Yu Cang's eyes!
"Are you guys underestimating me?"
Since Yu Cang ascended into the sky, this was the first time the Creator had shown such a dramatic emotional fluctuation. Before this, even when the years faded away beside Him, He had never felt sadness - at least, He had never expressed sadness.
But now, he was angry - because Yu Cang had already used his own will to put him on the same level as himself, and he was therefore willing to give Cang the same respect. When Yu Cang said that he would use fighting to make him change his mind, although he was puzzled, he still agreed.
But - he is now looking down on me in this way?
The stranger named Ye Lai said that he alone was enough, and you actually believed him?
Arrogant and ignorant—a waste of His respect!
If Yu Cang had come up and directly "humiliated" him like this, he wouldn't have cared at all. But now, he had already made an exception and lowered his status for a weakling like Yu Cang, and yet he still wanted to do this, then—
"The only possibility that you had of impressing me has vanished into thin air." The Creator stood proudly, a dazzling light spreading around Him. "Yu Cang, perhaps I have misjudged you. You are weak and foolish now, and not yet fit to embark on this heavy journey.
"Yu Cang, if you offered to fight me just to humiliate me at this moment, then I will give you the same price as you wish!"
He is the source of all living things!
How can you shake Him by coming here at night?
How can a dragon named "Dawn" shake the dawn itself?
"I have seen and touched the dawn of the human world countless times. Even the very first ray of light, when all things were first born, was only ignited in my hands. Poor creatures, the initial flourishing of all things is a magnificent sight that you cannot even imagine with your full imagination!"
The Creator gently stood up and leaped high into the sky. Suddenly, the entire world trembled because of His slight movement. Dark, thunder-like cracks followed like shadows, as if it was the end of the world!
He did not fly too high, otherwise the world would not be able to bear it - but just this one step had already triggered a terrifying destructive force.
"Rejoice, Yu Cang—to eradicate your ignorance, I will bestow this first light!"
Since you are the dawn, He will crush your ridiculous self-confidence with the supreme and incomparable dawn!
The Creator swam and slowly stopped at a certain place.
"The shadows of the stars will sleep with me forever. Once blown away, they will fall like rain for a thousand years!"
collapse!
In the sky above, those rolled-back auroras spread all over the sky, and suddenly condensed after falling into the sky. The various colored auroras condensed into countless twinkling stars, pouring down!
This was a meteor shower that seemed like a spectacular spectacle of creation. The surging energy seemed to have no end. In just a blink of an eye, millions of meteors fell like rain. In this exaggerated torrent, Ye Lai and Yu Cang were like candles in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.
Yu Cang's expression remained unchanged.
Even though the Creator had revealed His anger, and even though every meteor above his head was enough to reduce him to ashes, he still had a smile on his face.
He believed in the night.
Since Ye Lai is willing to take the initiative to fight, it means that he has a way!
The stars are like rain, and the night brings his night sky and raises his head.
"Night—is falling."
Buzz!
The night suddenly became thicker, as if it had turned into an extreme shadow, and no light could escape the capture of the night!
The stars began to fall into the night sky, and ripples spread out in the void. The scenery was absolutely beautiful.
The night continued to absorb the meteors, devouring them all—but there were too many. The Creator's power was boundless, but the night would eventually overflow. To challenge God with such power was foolish...
Soon, before long, the power that the night could withstand had reached its limit. At this moment, a strong light suddenly bloomed in the center of the darkness!
[Nightfall]: ...When the damage caused by the nightfall reaches a certain level, the night will enter "dawn".
Buzz!
The overflowing energy not only failed to dispel the darkness in the night, but made it even thicker. As the night flapped its wings vigorously, the night swept across like a wave, turning half of the sky here into the realm of darkness!
And in that darkness, the Dragon Breath Sword became the only light.
It is difficult to describe this light. It seems to be just the purest and simplest white, but it seems to contain everything. This is dawn, the only dawn.
The Dragon Breath Sword held horizontally in Ye Lai's mouth had been completely submerged in the morning light. This ray of light burst out above the Dragon Breath Sword and quickly spread out, extending its wings towards the vast space, as if it was endless and had no end!
In a trance, this endless light seemed to outline the only "skyline" in the endless night, and the morning sun that was about to rise from this skyline was the Dragon Breath Sword in the center that Ye Lai mentioned!
From a distance, the Dragon Breath Sword was completely unclear, so the rising sun looked as if it was bitten in the mouth of the night and was about to rise into the world.
Living in the darkness with the rising sun in the mouth, this is the "dawn" of the night!
When the night contains all the energy, it will herald the dawn, bringing the vast sky and descending on the battlefield with the strongest posture!
"Useless!" The Creator lowered his gaze with a heavy pressure like a prison. "Drown in the stars."
He was about to exert even greater power to make a bigger meteor shower crush past, but at this moment he suddenly paused. When he looked at Ye Lai again, his eyes had frozen, and shock that was difficult to conceal jumped into his eyes at this moment.
"Wait, what is this...?"
A mood that made Him shudder suddenly emerged in the "dawn" and quickly filled the entire night. The Creator was stunned at this moment. This... was something He had never seen before!
Standing in the night, the solemn and dignified voice of the night suddenly resounded through the sky at this moment.
"Creator, I respect your strength, but I also understand your narrow-mindedness.
"—Creator! Who said I would defeat you with the dawn?"
Under the stars, the night also leaped up, and the vast "skyline" trembled and slowly rose into the sky.
"You have only witnessed the flourishing of one world, but I have witnessed the demise of countless skies!
"—The thousands of dusks you prepared for this world are as childish as a child in the face of true extinction.
"Take a closer look—this is the final scene I bring you from the end of countless worlds!"
Buzz!
The will of annihilation, like a vast ocean, rolled up and completely submerged the Creator in it.
He did not resist. At this moment, he even subconsciously removed the meteors in the sky.
"This is..."
A crystal tear fell from His eyes at this moment.
Trapped in his own eggshell, he has witnessed everything in this world, but he only misses the first dawn, the magnificent scene when all things flourished.
He thought that when the world ends, the grand scene will be comparable to this one. This is the scene he has been looking forward to for countless years, and for this reason he has created countless imaginary "dusks" with his own hands.
At this moment, He finally saw it—Nirvana, not just one kind, but thousands and millions of kinds, the real Nirvana.
"I see……"
…
Some time ago
Beyond Chaos
Feng looked at Ye Lai: "...Are you sure?"
Ye Lai just smiled and said, "You also said that the Creator was powerful yet immature."
"...If you make a mistake, you will only anger that being."
"But I must do this." Ye Lai stood up in the chaos. "The Master of this body wants to pull the Creator down from the altar and become his partner. The Master of this body has done well. He has relied on his own strength to stand before the Creator, proving that he has the mindset and qualifications to treat him as an equal.
"Then, the remaining steps must be completed by me." Ye Lai's eyes were calm and firm. "Let me... break His long and heavy pride."
Feng was silent.
A moment later.
It slowly rises at night.
"It's my turn."
Thanks to Weihuohu nv for the reward!
