Chapter 3848: Chapter 1853: The Truth
Is Xi He the true name of the Nuo Ancestor?
Xu Xiaoshou watched as the Nuo Ancestor, who just moments ago was entirely ravaging, calmed down after the handsome scholar Kong Yuhen said that phrase.
"I, have become attached..."
The Nuo Ancestor lowered his head, muttering softly with an air of pain.
Then, as if remembering something, he reached out hurriedly, touching his face, until he felt the Nuo mask on his face, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Still here."
Time Ancestor watched him adjust the Nuo mask, and as he did so, his form gradually returned to a normal human size, sighing: "Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to return and see you."
What does this mean?
Xu Xiaoshou was startled.
Could it be that this Nuo mask is also a seal, restraining the Nuo Ancestor’s power, his ravaging?
"Could it be...?"
If it truly is so, then this berserk Nuo is too formidable!
When he went berserk earlier, even though Time Ancestor’s form was dispersed into thousands, his status was already unstable.
But the inability to withstand highlighted just how terrifying the berserk Nuo is — who would have thought it was his entirety, yet it’s still under "some restraint"?
"What is the extent of this restraint?"
"Is the Nuo mask sealing one-tenth of his power, or nine-tenths?"
Judging by the apprehension in Time Ancestor’s tone, it’s likely not the former, but if it’s the latter, it’s a bit beyond comprehension.
However, recalling from the last vision of white smoke, when berserk Nuo showed twelvefold pride in himself and transcendent confidence in his own power, along with that statement, "no man ought to yield."
Under the catastrophe, Name Ancestor chose a circuitous approach, and Time Ancestor chose to assist from the side, leaving only berserk Nuo to face head-on.
Thus analyzing, among Name Ancestor, Time Ancestor, and Nuo Ancestor, in terms of combat power, it’s likely that berserk Nuo leads, galloping ahead with extreme supremacy?
"Kong Yuhen, tell us, what other methods do you have."
"But you’d better think carefully before speaking, for I cannot guarantee that if your words provoke us..."
Nuo Ancestor spoke, lifting his head, gazing at the starry sky filled with the decaying aura of the Great Path.
Gripping tightly the Nuo mask on his face, seeming to find security, he paused for a long while before speaking, his hoarse voice akin to sawing wood:
"The catastrophe has affected me, I cannot control us."
Us...
Xu Xiaoshou was certain he hadn’t misheard, as berserk Nuo said "us" twice.
When one person refers to themselves as "us," it can only indicate their composition is not single.
Yet even if Xu Xiaoshou and Greedy the Cat Spirit united in contract.
In everyday life and speaking habits, he would never use the word "us."
This implies that compared to his relationship as the ghost beast host body, berserk Nuo’s composition is far more complex.
Time Ancestor nodded, showing understanding.
He did not approach, but rather maintained a distance from berserk Nuo that wasn’t exactly safe, but deemed safe, and then took out an object from his bosom.
"What is this?" Nuo Ancestor cast a glance.
Xu Xiaoshou also focused his gaze, realizing the emphasis of this vision had arrived.
What Time Ancestor took out was a wooden door pendant, emitting the same reincarnation aura as he had seen before — the Door of Reincarnation!
Time Ancestor Kong Yuhen, holding this small wooden door with one hand, gazed at the unknown beyond the starry sky, speaking solemnly:
"The catastrophe approaches, it cannot be confronted head-on."
"Since the situation has evolved to this point, it proves you were correct, my persistence has lost its meaning."
"Why not dissolve the time domain, scatter the Six Gates among the major planes, and seek another opportunity to rise again."
Nuo Ancestor responded with a cold sneer, yet did not verbally mock further.
Xu Xiaoshou sighed slightly, understanding berserk Nuo’s current mood.
This one should presumably be regarded as a berserk version of The Divine, without an Aunt Xiang-like presence orchestrating plans behind.
Indeed, he is straightforward, yet not foolish.
Time Ancestor persisted resolutely, disregarding advice, assuming nine forms then continuing to dissipate into thousands to protect Name Ancestor, let alone exaggerating to thousands, resulting in complete self-loss, utterly losing the power to resist the catastrophe — a gambler dies a bad death!
Yet had berserk Nuo been forewarned of such actions, perhaps he could accept it, as such individuals generally bear the belief "I will carry the weight if the sky falls."
But once the situation imploded, only admitting that his decision was flawed, it can only be said that berserk Nuo at this time could endure without slaughtering Kong Yuhen...
"Indeed, how could he endure?"
"A mere ’Master Xi He,’ such power, could have such an impact?"
Xu Xiaoshou didn’t quite understand, but since he was unaware of the past of Name Ancestor, Time Ancestor, and Nuo Ancestor, pondering was futile, he merely continued to focus on the next associations with the Door of Reincarnation.
Nuo Ancestor finished sneering coldly, continuing to listen.
Time Ancestor was evidently accustomed to such high-handedness, pausing before saying: "The other five gates, I have arranged properly, but this Door of Reincarnation, I have a different idea."
"Speak."
"Name must be saved, but he is trapped in reincarnation, unable to transcend. I plan to bind the Door of Reincarnation with your black turntable, to try once more, using external forces to alter his fate, change his fate of degradation!" Time Ancestor took out the black turntable he had safeguarded.
"...External forces?" Nuo Ancestor seemed not to understand.
"Yes!" Time Ancestor nodded heavily, but gazed into the void, with a somewhat evasive look, seeming to speak indirectly, a bit ethereally:
"Humanity, favored by the heaven and earth, bestowed with the foundation of the Great Path, born with spiritual intelligence, adept at scheming, advancing by cultivation."
"Humans are born with talent, each different. Thus, attaining the Path lies not in innate aptitude, not in effort, but in whether one can discover self talent, and maintain steadfast will in the intent of the Path."
