Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1454: Chapter 698: Alliance

Molten Fire City.

Within the Fan Gu Divine Monarch’s cave mansion.

In the emptiness of nihility, two figures stood facing each other. Chen Mu looked at the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, a slight glimmer flashed in his eyes, and with a smile, he said, “Congratulations, Brother Fan Gu.”

“I succeeded by mere chance as well.”

The Fan Gu Divine Monarch sighed and said, “If it weren’t for your guidance in the Dao, coupled with the imminent end of the tribulation, the universe trembling, and the Great Dao revealing itself, I might not have succeeded even if I had lived through a thousand tribulations of time.”

In terms of talent and aptitude, the Fan Gu Divine Monarch is indeed a dazzling presence within a certain space seat, but in the vast universe, what it lacks the least are geniuses; above geniuses, there are even greater geniuses.

Compared to those who stepped into the Nine Layer Heavens before the universe’s tremor, Fan Gu is undoubtedly inferior, and compared to those in the Source Realm with Double Veins Perfection and Three Veins Perfection, they are nothing.

As for Chen Mu,

he stands at the pinnacle of this era.

In less than ten tribulations of time, he had reached the pinnacle of Three Veins Perfection, which can be said to be unique in ancient and modern times. Even those Dao Venerables didn’t have such an exaggerated progression in their youth.

“Speaking of seeking me, Brother Fan Gu, you might want to inquire about the disturbances in the Dark Sky Abyss and the matter of the universe’s end tribulation?”

Chen Mu shifted the topic and directly asked.

The Fan Gu Divine Monarch slightly shook his head and said, “Earlier, I wanted to seek your advice, but after ascending to the Nine Layer Heavens, I also came to understand many secrets previously unknown to me. I am now well informed about the Dark Sky Abyss and the end tribulation.”

“The end tribulation is unavoidable.” After listening to the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, Chen Mu said, “The Dark Sky Abyss is merely a harbinger of the end tribulation. It can indeed be stopped for the time being, but there is no need to forcibly prevent it. Soon, the end tribulation will descend, and the entire universe will return to silent annihilation.”

At present, the Nanhua Void is already in chaos, with various secret realms showing signs of disorder. With his current power, he can still suppress disturbances like those in the Dark Sky Abyss in the short term, but Chen Mu no longer intends to do so.

The universe end tribulation is a rule of the Great Dao.

All living beings will eventually have an end.

He will protect the Fan Gu Space Domain, preventing it from being harassed by external forces such as the Demon Clan, but he will not forcibly resist the end tribulation for the living beings of the Fan Gu Space Domain.

The end tribulation is a rule, destiny, and an opportunity.

Even though the end tribulation is approaching, in these final years, if one has great perseverance, great opportunity, and great wisdom, it may still be possible to rise from the mundane to eventually challenge becoming a Venerable!

Under the Great Dao, there is always a slim chance for anything.

And this lies entirely in the hands of the living beings themselves to strive for.

Chen Mu is not even concerned with the life and death of the Da Xuan World. It is not that he has violated his original intention of benefiting the world. It’s because after he entered the God Realm, the mundane world became too distant from him.

In a blink of his eye, the lives and deaths of countless mortals pass; with a single exercise of divine power, it is a complete change of the secular dynasty.

If all living beings wish to transcend, ultimately, they must rely on themselves.

Chen Mu will, at most, give some guidance and support to those outstanding individuals, slightly assisting them.

Of course,

the living beings of the Da Xuan World are not of much concern to Chen Mu, but Chen Yue, Chen Yao, Xu Hongyu, and others closest to him are different.

His diligent cultivation and advance towards being a Dao Venerable is precisely so that he can protect them, to traverse the life and death of the universe.

“Yes, I understand this, so I do not concern myself with matters of the Fan Gu Space Domain either. How far Tai Chen, Hong Lin, and the others can go in the end of this universe depends entirely on themselves.”

The Fan Gu Divine Monarch said.

Not long ago, Hong Lin also stepped into the Divine Monarch level.

In the past, this would have been a matter of joy for the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, but now the Fan Gu Divine Monarch knows that Hong Lin’s breakthrough also relied on the universe’s tremor brought by the end tribulation and the influence of the Great Dao manifestation.

“Incidentally, your timing is right to seek me. I happen to have something I wish to discuss with you.”

The Fan Gu Divine Monarch contemplated briefly and said to Chen Mu.

“What matter? Feel free to speak, Brother Fan Gu.”

Chen Mu replied.

The Fan Gu Divine Monarch looked at Chen Mu and said, “This Abyss of Eternity, though it poses no threat to us and is safe enough, ultimately lacks resources and is not a place to stay long. I wish to leave the Abyss of Eternity and return to the outside world, but entering the Abyss of Eternity is easy, leaving is difficult. With my own strength, I fear it will be challenging to find a way out in a short period. Do you have any desire to leave? Perhaps we could join forces?”

Having broken through to the Nine Layer Heavens in his cultivation realm naturally gave the Fan Gu Divine Monarch confidence starkly different from before, but he also understands that the Abyss of Eternity is not a good place. Even as a Nine Layer Heaven of the Void Lineage, it’s not necessarily easy to leave.

If he could join forces with Chen Mu, leaving the Abyss of Eternity shouldn’t be difficult. Although Chen Mu recently restored his Nine Layer Heavens cultivation level, possessing a Perfect Divine Body makes his power comparable to some with Single Vein Perfection.

In the Abyss of Eternity, a Divine Monarch newly entering the Nine Layer Heavens merely qualifies to explore escape routes and cannot easily leave. But if one reaches Single Vein Perfection within the Nine Layer Heavens, leaving the Abyss of Eternity becomes much easier.

Usually, one needs only to be willing to spend some time to find a way out.

It seems he is inviting Chen Mu to cooperate, but in truth, if they really act together, he is borrowing Chen Mu’s momentum.

In the past, having already stepped into the Nine Layer Heavens, he would explore the way out of the Abyss of Eternity alone, with hardly any thought of seeking Chen Mu’s partnership. After all, the kindness he received from Chen Mu back then is almost exhausted now, and he didn’t want to owe a debt of causality to Chen Mu.
