Chapter 683 - 504: Chen Zhixing’s Calamity of Self-Loss
Chapter 683: Chapter 504: Chen Zhixing’s Calamity of Self-Loss
In Bai Yu’s impression, those who are bestowed with a mission by the Heavenly Dao eventually fulfill their destiny.
Although Sos is somewhat special, Bai Yu does not believe Sos can defy this, which led her first thought, upon realizing Sos’s identity, to be escaping from the Cosmic World.
To her, the Cosmic World is like a time bomb. Although this bomb hasn’t exploded for twenty thousand years, there’s still a possibility it could go off at any moment; it’s not a dud.
As for when it will explode and for what reason.
Bai Yu can only say, it could explode anytime, and it doesn’t need a reason!
"He is the World-ender of the Celestial Mandate, Zhixing! We must go quickly! If we don’t leave soon, it’ll be too late!"
"..."
"Why are you standing there in a daze? Hurry up and leave! I’m telling you, the Celestial Mandate is unchangeable; you can’t assume that because Sos hasn’t fulfilled his mission in twenty thousand years, he won’t do it at all. That’s impossible!" Bai Yu anxiously said, not realizing a silhouette had already appeared behind her.
The silhouette of Sos.
Sos smiled and nodded at Chen Zhixing, seemingly not too bothered by Bai Yu’s ’slander’.
Chen Zhixing shook his head with a smile at Sos.
"Why are you shaking your head? Is there someone behind me?" Bai Yu suddenly became clever, not turning her head to look, she blurted out "Is it Sos?" and then quickly hid behind Chen Zhixing.
"Ah, Sos, I wasn’t speaking ill of you, I was just... you know!"
"I understand, Ms. Bai, in fact, my identity often brings me a lot of trouble. Sometimes I too am blinded by the thoughts of apocalypse, but rest assured, at least until you leave the Cosmic World, I won’t bring destruction to it by my own hands." Sos explained to Bai Yu with a smile, his modest expression carrying a hint of apology for scaring her.
"Really?"
"Really, I promise."
"That’s really great, thank you so much, Sos. If one day after the apocalypse you have nowhere to go, you can come to our Celestial Profound as a guest, and at that time, the Immortal Ascension Sect will receive you with the highest honors, because you deserve it." Bai Yu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and spoke in a stream of words.
Sos responded with a wry smile, spreading his hands: "Thank you for the invitation, Ms. Bai, but I still hope that day never comes."
"Yes, yes, just as a precaution...."
Listening to the incongruous conversation between the two, Chen Zhixing rolled his eyes intensely.
Bai Yu’s idea was actually quite good; if Sos went apocalyptic with his current state, when the Cosmic Realm is destroyed, it wouldn’t generate much animosity towards Sos. The merit he carries and the merit born of his apocalyptic mission would likely offset the karmic force from triggering the apocalypse, giving Sos a chance of surviving the backlash of dark flames.
An existence who initiates an apocalypse, regardless, upon succeeding would have undoubtedly reached a realm above Longevity. If Sos could visit or join the Immortal Ascension Sect, it would undoubtedly alter the balance of the Celestial Profound’s Three Great Sacred Lands.
Even if he doesn’t join, just the emergence of someone above the Longevity Realm establishing good relations with the Immortal Ascension Trace is worth Bai Yu’s effort to orchestrate such a play.
Even though it’s likely that event might never occur, or when it does, Bai Yu might have already departed from this world.
Sos will outlive Bai Yu!
Regarding this, Chen Zhixing had no doubt whatsoever.
Bai Yu once told Chen Zhixing that barring any accidents, she would enter the Spirit Realm at the age of three thousand, in her most powerful state, preserving her humanity, embracing the Golden Nature as she falls into the Spirit Realm. Then, she might truly inhabit the Spirit Realm for a million years until the Golden Nature perfects, reaching beyond Longevity.
In other words, Bai Yu plans to live for another two thousand years.
And Sos?
This guy, as long as he desires, living another ten thousand years at least is no problem.
Although due to rule restrictions, Sos, remaining in the Divine Realm, still has a lifespan limit. As a Death God almost equivalent to a realm beyond the Tenth Order, combined with the Cosmic Realm’s favoritism towards him, his lifespan reaching thirty thousand years is not an issue.
Therefore, Bai Yu will die before Sos.
Unless Sos initiates the apocalypse within the next two thousand years!
Wait!
Suddenly, Chen Zhixing’s expression turned strange.
Speaking of which, isn’t he only about thirty now? Why does he take it for granted when discussing matters with millennial and decamillennial timelines?
’When did my mindset start to change? Has my humanity already begun to wane? I’m only thirty... How old am I this year?’
Out of nowhere, Chen Zhixing’s face flickered with confusion, although only for a moment, he managed to retrieve his age from his recollections. Still, this forgetting of age, this stretching sense of time, undoubtedly marked the start of a High-tier Cultivator losing humanity.
Has his obstacle of identity begun?
Is his mentality really that poor?
Reflecting on this, Chen Zhixing suddenly felt like laughing, so he laughed out loud in front of Bai Yu and Sos.
"Zhixing?"
"Mr. Chen... did you realize something?"
Bai Yu was puzzled.
