Chapter 513 Exile and Return
Being both at the emperor level, reaching this point has indeed reached the pinnacle.
Since this place can suppress Emperor Hongmeng, it can naturally suppress the Earth Mother as well. However, the message passed down by the Earth Mother was the word "come" instead of "save", which makes people think a lot.
Could it be that he passed this level and met Emperor Hongmeng, and then left a message for himself?
But now that he had met the Great Emperor Hongmeng, he had received the answer and could leave this place, having accomplished his mission. But not only did he not return, he even expended his divine power to send a message. It was truly incomprehensible.
Wei Huan stopped and watched as these auras stopped moving forward. It was not because he felt a sense of crisis, but because he couldn't figure it out and couldn't feel anything, which was too strange.
Wei Huan simply sat down cross-legged, took back the power of the world, placed it around him, and began to practice motionlessly.
Stay constant in the face of change. If the message left is meant to lure you here, the only one who will be anxious is the other party.
Wei Huan sat cross-legged on the spot to practice. Time passed slowly and the surroundings were silent. Only the breath left by the Mother Earth lingered around, as if telling the unknown past.
After an unknown amount of time, ripples suddenly appeared in the void, and a bright yet hazy figure slowly emerged.
The figure exuded supreme pressure, as if it was the world itself, and it was the will of heaven that Wei Huan was familiar with and always wary of.
"You finally showed up." Wei Huan opened his eyes and looked at the magnificent figure floating in the sky.
"Wei Huan..." Tiandao's voice was low and ethereal, echoing in the silent space. "You have been rising in strength along the way, and now you possess the power of the world. This is indeed beyond my expectations."
Wei Huan's eyes were filled with vigilance, yet he showed no fear. He stared directly at Tian Dao and asked, "What is your purpose in leading me here? And where is Mother Earth?"
Tiandao sighed softly and said, "Goddess Earth, seeking the truth of this world, journeyed deep into this place, only to find herself trapped in an endless predicament from which she could not escape. And you, Wei Huan, are the 'calamity' of this era. Since your appearance, the balance of this world has been disrupted, bringing with it numerous uncertainties."
Wei Huan frowned, his mind filled with confusion. "I'm 'Jie'? What does that mean?"
"Every era brings a 'calamity.' The arrival of a 'calamity' marks the end of the old era and the beginning of a new one. You possess the power to overturn this world. Your existence will determine its future," Tiandao explained. "Behind this world's barrier lies the exit. You can take your people and leave here to seek a new world."
Wei Huan was shocked. He had always longed to lead the human race out of this bound world. Now, hearing what Tiandao said, although he had doubts in his heart, a glimmer of hope could not be suppressed and grew.
"Why are you telling me all this? And why are you suddenly willing to let us go?"
"This is fate's arrangement, and it's also the inevitable course of world development. Your power has already threatened the stability of this world. Rather than letting you cause greater turmoil in this world, it's better to let you go."
Tiandao said calmly, "Moreover, this may also be a new opportunity for this world."
Wei Huan pondered for a long time. Considering what Heaven had done in the past, this statement could not be fully believed, but what if it was true?
Wei Huan didn't think a direct refusal would be the right move. He planned to return to Qiyuan Star and discuss the matter with Mu Zhong and the others. Even as the leader of the human race, he couldn't make a hasty decision on such an important matter.
So, after thinking about it, he said, "I will consider this matter and make a decision."
Tiandao did not respond, but the figure gradually disappeared.
Wei Huan took another look at the front of the wall of the world. Although he didn't know where the Earth Mother had fallen into, and he couldn't see the Emperor Hongmeng in person to ask the truth, instead of leaving, he had to return to Qiyuan Star.
Without stopping, he turned around quickly and flew in the direction he came from.
As long as he left this restricted area, he could return instantly through the reincarnation channel. He was eager to return to Qiyuan Star and take Mu Zhong and the entire human race with him to leave this world that had imprisoned them for so long.
Wei Huan's speed gradually increased, and he felt that the restraint of the wall of the world on him was getting weaker and weaker. He could feel that he should leave here soon.
Suddenly!
The entire pure white space suddenly collapsed like shattered glass, and countless ripples invisible to the naked eye spread from the depths of the barrier, wrapping around his limbs like a spider web.
Before he even had time to mobilize his divine power, he felt his entire body being gripped by an incomparably powerful force.
That was not the power of law, but the more fundamental will of the world, which, with an almost compassionate coldness, forcibly peeled him off from the "egg white" layer of the world.
The space twisted into a spiral band of light before his eyes, and the "channel" that was originally held open by the power of the world suddenly shrank and turned into a long and narrow crack.
When Wei Huan saw his palm penetrate the translucent membrane barrier, the world power on the surface of his skin sizzled as if it was burned by flames, and the energy that constituted his divine body was being forcibly decomposed and reorganized.
“Buzz!”
The last ray of white light engulfed his sight, and Wei Huan felt like a coin thrown into a washing machine, tumbling in the chaotic flow of energy.
The bones groaned under the heavy burden, and the law of death in the divine core was circulating madly but could not resist this force.
For a long, long time.
When Wei Huan finally managed to concentrate his consciousness from the dizziness, he found himself suspended in an "ocean" composed of dark purple energy flows. Those energy flows intertwined and collided as if they had life, and every intersection would burst out blue-white arcs of electricity.
There are no stars, no spatial coordinates, and even no concept of "up, down, left, and right".
Further away, a "river of stars" meandered across the field of vision, and the river water was actually composed of countless broken fragments of the divine nature.
Those fragments flickered with faint light, some were engraved with the laws of light, and some still retained the fluctuations of life, like crushed glass scattered on black velvet.
Wei Huan recognized the patterns on one of the fragments. It was actually a fragment of the elemental master's godhead, but it had become the most insignificant dust in this space.
He looked down at his body and discovered that it was covered in a layer of fine silver scales. That was the protective layer formed by the collision of the world's power and the external energy when he passed through the tunnel.
Beneath the scales, the laws of death were becoming disrupted at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if the environment here simply did not allow the concept of "death" to exist.
He tried to communicate with the Lotus of Reincarnation, but found that the imperial authority was like a sealed dead object in this space.
Only the mark of the perfect world between his eyebrows was emitting heat, flowing through his cells and soul, slowly restoring his body. The whole process seemed to be transforming his body, allowing him to adapt to the environment here.
He suddenly understood that the so-called "exit" of the Heavenly Dao was not a way out at all.
This space called "outside the world" is more like a garbage dump where the world's will dumps abandoned laws, and he is the biggest piece of trash discarded.
Got cheated!
Fortunately, the "power of the world" gave him the ability to survive in this world. Soon his body was filled with strength again. He stood up from the "ocean" and looked around.
The spiritual consciousness is also in the process of exploring outward. It is constantly being transformed by the "power of the world", and the distance it can spread is getting farther and farther.
Then he soon discovered that the distance his spiritual sense could explore was even greater than before. Perhaps it was three times? Or five times? Or even ten times?
But it didn't work.
What he saw was still the boundless "purple sea", filled with endless violent energy. When those arcs intersected and collided, they would burst out with energy emitting life, just like flowers that bloomed in an instant and then were violently crushed in the next second.
It repeats itself over and over again, forever and ever.
The electric arcs rolled over his ankles, stinging his skin, but as more arcs wrapped around him, the pain turned into numbness and itching, until even that feeling disappeared and he was simply entangled.
Perfect World is still transforming his body.
When his body's senses had fully recovered to their peak, Wei Huan felt a faint familiar breath in this "Purple Sea".
That is the source of life left by Mother Earth in the extreme of light.
Wei Huan's pupils suddenly shrank.
Had the Earth Mother been here? Could it be that the word "come" she left behind refers not to the Great Emperor Hongmeng, but to this exiled destination?
He turned around and looked in the direction he came from. The world barrier had disappeared without a trace, leaving only endless energy turbulence.
There is no way back, no coordinates, and even no concept of "direction" here.
But Wei Huan smiled.
He raised his hand to wipe the divine blood that spilled from the corner of his mouth, the black-gold power of the world gathering in a vortex in his palm. How dare you lie to him!? He had crawled out of a sea of blood and corpses, snatched back humanity's future from the cracks of reincarnation. Could he be trapped by this mere "outside world"?
"You want to exile me?" He whispered into the void, his voice devoid of anger, only cold determination. "Then I will turn this so-called 'outside world' into a new battlefield."
Purple arcs of electricity vibrated violently around him, as if responding to his declaration.
Wei Huan took a deep breath of nothingness mixed with the smell of rust. His consciousness, transformed by the power of the world, turned into thousands of tentacles, like a monster floating up from the depths of the purple sea, waving endless tentacles and stirring every corner of this space.
…
Wei Huan sat cross-legged in the Purple Sea for a full five hundred years.
The dark purple energy flow washed over his divine body like a tide, and the power of the world formed a cocoon in his body, decomposing and assimilating the violent external energy one by one.
His hair had long been dyed dark purple by energy, and tiny arcs of electricity condensed at the ends of his eyebrows, but his eyes were still as sharp as knives.
For hundreds of years, he used the power of the world as a guide to continuously analyze the energy laws of this space. His spiritual consciousness penetrated into the depths of the purple sea like roots, and finally, when a certain energy turbulence converged, he captured an extremely weak "coordinate fluctuation".
It was a spatial imprint that transcended the laws, carrying a familiar breath of the origin of life, and was the last trace left by Mother Earth.
"Found it!" A hoarse voice came out from the bloody mouth.
Wei Huan suddenly opened his eyes, and the power of the world in his palm exploded, tearing a long and narrow crack in the purple sea.
The turbulent energy flow rolled back wildly, swallowing up his figure.
Unlike when he came here, this world's barrier could no longer do anything to him. He was like a divine weapon forged with peerless materials that had been tempered a thousand times, piercing straight into the world.
The defense of a world was nothing in his eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, a blinding white light hit me in the face.
A familiar energy licked his skin, like excitement and anger, surging in every cell of Wei Huan's body.
"Finally back."
He floated in the "nothing" space of extreme light, his face as cold as ice, and then he raised his eyebrows.
At this moment, there was no longer nothingness in front of him, but a violently swirling ball of purple light.
There was a dazzling red light inside the ball of light, and its appearance was twisting and changing like a living thing, sometimes turning into the roots of a giant tree, and sometimes condensing into broken stars, but it was imprisoned in place by a layer of invisible shackles, unable to move even the slightest bit.
This familiar breath and shape, Wei Huan mobilized his lonely and almost numb brain and came up with the answer.
"Emperor Hongmeng?" He hadn't spoken for a long time, so his voice was hoarse, like the throat of a lone wolf that had been howling without getting a response.
"You're here..." An old and tired spiritual consciousness wave came, and a crack appeared in the center of the purple light, revealing a scarlet light spot inside. "I've been waiting for you... for a long time."
The world power around Wei Huan quietly circulated, and he looked at the aura vigilantly: "Where is Mother Earth? I sensed her origin in the Purple Sea."
The purple ball of light trembled violently, and traces of sadness seeped out from the scarlet light: "She... has long since perished outside this world."
A picture emerged in the spiritual consciousness.
In those days, the Earth Mother went deep into the Extreme Light, trying to explore the secret of the world's barrier, but was lured into the Purple Sea by the Heavenly Dao. Eventually, her body and soul were destroyed in the endless energy turbulence. Only a trace of the origin mark was forcibly left by her on the coordinates, just to lead later generations here.
"She left the word 'come' behind, not to ask you to save her, but to ask you... to see me."
Wei Huan's pupils suddenly shrank.
Had the Earth Mother fallen? He recalled the chaotic aura within the Extreme Light, and his heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand.
"Is he crazy?"
Wei Huan didn't understand. The Heavenly Dao had used a trick to get rid of the Great Emperor Taichu millions of years ago, and now it was forcibly throwing the Earth Mother and himself out of the world.
There was no doubt that He was going to kill them.
If Emperor Hongmeng had not lied to him, Mother Earth would indeed not be able to survive outside, and she was only able to survive because of the "perfect world".
But if he was the "Era Catastrophe", it would make sense for him to drive him away and kill him, but why did he kill two emperors in succession?
"Because this world... can't hold on any longer." Hong Meng Great Emperor's consciousness was filled with endless sadness. "When Taichu first took control of the world's power, he forcibly broke through the world's barrier, damaging the world's foundation. Chaos then used chaotic energy to pollute the world's wall, causing the cracks to grow larger and larger. To prevent the world from completely collapsing, the Heavenly Dao can only..."
The purple light wavered, "It will abolish the position of 'Great Emperor' and only establish 'Overlord' from now on. Although the Overlord's world is of lower rank, it can reduce the world's energy consumption. And we Four Emperors... are 'superfluous existences' that must be eliminated."
Wei Huan suddenly realized something: "Is it your turn now?"
"That's right." A deep sense of pain washed over the Great Emperor Hongmeng. "The Heavenly Dao is draining my energy to repair the rifts in the world. It tricked you into leaving because it was afraid you, the variable, would ruin its plans."
The purple light ball suddenly contracted violently, and a strong regret erupted from the scarlet light spot: "I'm sorry Taichu... If it weren't for me back then..."
A broken memory flooded into Wei Huan's consciousness.
...Emperor Hongmeng and Emperor Taichu were once close friends, but under the guidance of the Heavenly Dao, for the sake of "world stability," he personally severely injured Taichu, causing his death during the realm breaking. For millennia, this sin has been like a shackle, trapping him in the Ultimate Light, unable to escape.
"Heaven will not tolerate me. Mother Earth has already sacrificed her Emperor's throne to guide you. Now I..."
Before he finished speaking, the space of the Extreme Light suddenly trembled violently, a majestic world will descended, invisible shackles tightened the purple light ball, and the scarlet light spot dimmed in an instant.
"Wei Huan." The Great Emperor Hongmeng's consciousness carried a final determination. "Kill me... Use the power of your world to completely shatter this body. Only then can you obtain the last boundary-breaking coordinate within me...
Wei Huan looked at the aura before him, struggling in pain and regret. He thought of the Earth Mother who fell in the Purple Sea, and the future of humanity plotted against by the Heavenly Dao. He raised his hand, and the black-gold power of the world gathered into a blade at his fingertips. "Do you know that if you let me go, the entire world might be overturned?"
"Subversion?" The purple light uttered a desolate laugh. "This world, already riddled with holes, wouldn't it be better if it could be reborn because of you?"
"good."
The blade of the world's power cut through the void and slashed towards the ball of purple light.
At the moment the sword light touched, Emperor Hongmeng's consciousness turned into a stream of light and merged into the mark of the perfect world between Wei Huan's eyebrows.
That was the last coordinate, and also an apology to Emperor Taichu for being so late for so many years.
In the bright white light, only Wei Huan's clenched fist remained.
He looked up into the void, the oppression of the world's will becoming heavier, but a light brighter than the purple sea arc ignited in his eyes.
The will of the world descended with tremendous pressure, like a dark cloud covering the sky and the sun, enveloping the entire Extreme of Light.
Silver-white chains suddenly appeared from the void, like ferocious giant pythons, flying towards Wei Huan, trying to force him away again.
Wei Huan's eyes flashed, and the black and gold world power around him exploded, forming an indestructible shield on his body.
"Want to send me away again? It won't be that easy!"
Wei Huan roared angrily and swung the Fuhua sickle in his hand forward. The tip of the sickle collided with the silver-white chain, and a shocking roar broke out.
In an instant, the light trembled violently, and countless cracks appeared in the space like broken glass.
The power of Wei Huan's attack was not inferior to the "world power" of the Heavenly Dao. Those silver-white chains broke into pieces under the impact of the Corrupted Scythe, turned into powder and dissipated between heaven and earth.
The world will obviously did not expect Wei Huan's power to increase so quickly. It paused slightly, but soon condensed an even more powerful attack.
Wei Huan already understood it at this moment.
He recalled his experience in the purple energy sea. That purple sea was actually the soil from which the world was born.
In the distant past, countless energies gathered, collided, and merged here. After a long period of evolution, this world was born.
The power contained in it is the most original energy in the world and the source of everything.
During his five hundred years in the Purple Sea, he constantly analyzed the laws of energy, absorbing and assimilating the violent energies. The power of the world was constantly tempered and sublimated within him. Now, his control and use of the power of the world has reached a whole new level.
A new round of attacks from the world's will arrived, and countless huge blades of light cut through the void and slashed towards Wei Huan fiercely.
Wei Huan did not dodge or evade. The power of the world around him turned into a vast black and gold ocean, enveloping him.
The black and gold ocean collided with the light blade with a loud bang, and the powerful aftermath raged in all directions. The space of the Extreme Light began to collapse in large areas.
Wei Huan took the opportunity to mobilize the boundary-breaking coordinates given by Emperor Hongmeng, and a portal flashing with strange light slowly emerged behind him.
He knew it was not advisable to stay here for long, so he turned around and stepped into the portal without hesitation.
However, the world's will will not let him go easily.
A huge beam of light followed closely behind, shooting towards the portal, trying to intercept Wei Huan.
Wei Huan felt as if he was in the midst of a raging sea, in danger of being torn apart at any time.
He gritted his teeth and with his tenacious will and powerful world power, he resisted this wave of attacks.
After a while, Wei Huan finally returned to the familiar world.
He appeared in the world and randomly landed in a place in the divine realm. The familiar power of laws poured into his body like a lake, nourishing his divine body.
He devoured everything, and almost drained all the power of the laws within a thousand miles around him.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the attack of the world will followed.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, huge lightning bolts struck, and the whole world was shaking, as if the end of the world had come.
Wei Huan, who originally wanted to return to Qiyuan Star directly through the reincarnation channel, had to stop.
He struck back, dispersing the world's will again, then summoned the Baby Bus and poured the power of the world into his body.
After many years, Baby Bus was summoned again, but he had no time to be happy before the powerful force stimulated his cells crazily. Those constantly fissioning cells made him quickly become completely consistent with the aura around him and hide himself, and shrank to a degree that had never been reached before, trying to hide from the will of the world.
The will of the world gathered above his head for a long time and the condensed thunder was never released again.
He actually couldn't find his target.
At this time, Wei Huan had already controlled the Baby Bus to move away from that area and drive in the void of the divine realm.
He patted the still restless Baby Bus and prepared to leave the range of the world's will surveillance. He first contacted Mu Zhong and asked Mu Zhong to gather all the human beings together. After he took all his compatriots away with him and had no worries, he would settle accounts with the Heavenly Dao.
The reincarnation channel had just been opened, and there was the sound of the crazy swallowing law again.
Wei Huan pursed his lips and looked at the world will that had noticed something was wrong and was chasing him again. He had no choice but to close the reincarnation channel.
It seems that we can only drive all the way back.
After Wei Huan once again avoided the pursuit of the world will, he expanded his spiritual sense and saw that there was a planet within the range of his spiritual sense. There were not only traces of humans on the planet, but also the breath of old acquaintances.
Good luck.
After the death of Mother Earth, the star map is no longer usable. I don’t know where I am now, so it seems I still need to ask for directions.
"Go over there."
Wei Huan ordered the Baby Bus to turn around and head straight for the planet.
