Chapter 1818 - 1675: The Heavenly Palace Destroyed 4 Times
Chapter 1818: Chapter 1675: The Heavenly Palace Destroyed 4 Times
The surrounding faithful women were stunned, they had no idea what was happening.
The light shield guarding the Totem Array was constantly shaking, and the undying-level energy from the position of the Heavenly Palace, carrying the most frightful power of destruction, had obliterated all the buildings around the totem.
Destructive dust danced all over the sky, and the entire Sky City looked as if it had stepped into doomsday. No matter how dazzling and bright the light from the sky was, this land was immersed in a terrifying sweep of energy.
The Human Mother glared at Totem Goddess Dai Qing.
Totem Goddess Dai Qing had also grown up under the watchful eyes of the Human Mother. Although she had chosen Yu Suo and Yu Qie for the position of Totem Goddess, Dai Qing’s position wasn’t low either, and she had always been groomed as a Totem Goddess.
After Yu Suo and Yu Qie stepped down, the Human Mother unhesitatingly made her a Totem Goddess.
Yet, what she hadn’t anticipated was that Dai Qing would commit such an insane act.
Looking at Dai Qing’s cold and mocking face, the Human Mother suddenly felt very saddened.
Yu Suo, Yu Qie, Dai Qing, all were raised under her own watch, why did they all ultimately choose a path that betrayed the Heavenly Palace...
Could it be that the Heavenly Palace had truly turned into a cold palace, filled only with heartlessness and cruelty, indistinguishable from the Sky Demon...
Or perhaps it truly has, otherwise how could the Heavenly Palace now be filled with these monstrous Sky Demons.
No reason, the Human Mother didn’t want to hear it.
Perhaps, like Yu Suo, she hated the Sky Demons, but she hated the Heavenly Palace even more. If she had to choose, she’d rather let the Sky Demons destroy the Heavenly Palace, because the one who truly killed her sister wasn’t the Sky Demons. No matter how strong they were, they couldn’t kill the strongest Totem Goddess, Yu Qie.
Yet it was the Heavenly Palace that killed her. Under the frightful indoctrination of the Heavenly Palace, Yu Qie didn’t even put up a resistance.
This is the most frightful aspect of the Heavenly Palace.
"If you have even a shred of humanity left, I hope you’ll continue transferring the remaining scant Power of Red Fire Day into Sky City," the Human Mother said to Totem Goddess Dai Qing with a face full of disappointment.
"I can’t do it, keeping these scumbags alive is even worse than feeding a horde of Sky Demons!" Dai Qing said coldly.
At some point, the Heavenly Palace started compromising with the Sky Demons, even feeding them with the lives of living people, using this extremely cruel method to exchange for temporary peace.
But did those decision-makers who made this choice truly know that among these people who were eaten alive, to the Heavenly Palace they may seem insignificant, but to someone, they meant everything.
Dai Qing personally witnessed her own mother torn apart by a Sky Demon, and then eaten by three Sky Demons.
And this mother never ceased to remind her to serve the Heavenly Palace, to be loyal to the Heavenly Palace, and that no matter how tough the cultivation is, to never lose heart.
Dai Qing herself was a Totem Goddess, she was very clear about the current situation of the Heavenly Palace.
She knew very well that the Heavenly Palace was bound to perish, either being overthrown by strong ones of the era or devoured by the Sky Demons. In this cycle, creatures become stronger while the hidden dangers deepened.
Rather than letting the Heavenly Palace linger on in this era, it was better to end it in this cycle.
Dai Qing was not trying to get something from the Sky Demons; she just wanted this Heavenly Palace dynasty to end so as to avoid breeding more tragedies.
If even the rulers of a system find the system vile, then it is really not far from its doom.
When the Human Mother asked why she did this, Dai Qing laughed because she found the Human Mother too pedantic.
She knew very well the many ills of the Heavenly Palace, she knew the Sky Demons had already seized the Watcher Temple, and she also knew that many people in the Heavenly Palace had sold their souls to these demons. Yet she still struggled, still maintained that laughable and meaningless integrity.
"Change a group of rulers, or let’s say, this Spirit World doesn’t even need rulers, as we inherently strong individuals emerging from Human Land, why do we have to detach ourselves and live in solitude on this barren land with no seasons, no customs, no scenery, no emotions..." Dai Qing said to the Human Mother with incomparably calmness.
"Even if you are disappointed in the Heavenly Palace, you shouldn’t hand it over to the Sky Demons. Do you even know the significance of the existence of the Heavenly Palace!" The Human Mother’s face flushed red.
"What’s the significance, just say one reason I can accept, and I can stop..." Dai Qing said lightly.
"You..." The Human Mother took a deep breath.
After a moment of silence, the Human Mother finally suppressed her inner anger, and said, "Do you know why the world is divided into the Triple Heaven and Triple Realm of Kun, do you know why apart from this world, the other dimensions are all broken?"
Dai Qing shook her head.
"Foolish!" The Human Mother shouted angrily, "The Heavenly Palace hasn’t ever perished, just as you see, the Heavenly Palace has always existed with many outrageous problems. But we stay here holding on, not because we are greedy for this ruling position, nor because we want to live forever, but because we have to live!"
"Have to live? Human Mother, Watcher, Roulettes? Do you still harbor secrets you cannot speak of, anyway it’s about to perish, might as well say it, and you say the Heavenly Palace has perished?" Dai Qing looked at the Heavenly Palace already wrecked by the strong ones of the era.
The surrounding senior faithful women had all stopped their spells, for from the dialogue of the two decision-makers they’d realized that the Heavenly Palace faced an unprecedented crisis.
Has the Heavenly Palace perished before?
Wasn’t the Heavenly Palace everlasting, how could it have perished?
"It has perished 4 times," the Human Mother said coldly.
"4 times??" Dai Qing opened her mouth, trying to say something but didn’t know what to say.
times, the Heavenly Palace has perished 4 times??
Suddenly, Dai Qing seemed to remember something, and looked at the Human Mother with a face full of astonishment.
"You mean, the Third Layer of Heaven, the Second Layer of Heaven, the Second Realm of Kun, the Third Realm of Kun..." Dai Qing was stunned.
"That’s right, exactly these 4 times. The cost of each destruction was the collapse of the World!" the Human Mother said in a calm voice.
The Human Land was filled with all kinds of Independent Spaces, these Independent Spaces were like solitary islands, quietly resting in the void of Space.
Once, the World had a total of 5 Dimensions.
Now, the World has only one Dimension, the other 4 Dimensions have become Independent Spaces.
Many human scholars are exploring where exactly these Independent Spaces came from.
And if they heard the conversation between the Human Mother and Totem Goddess Dai Qing, they would understand that all the Independent Spaces are actually the remnants after the collapse of the 4 Worlds in the past...
The Totem Goddess was dumbfounded. She didn’t know this secret; the Human Mother had never told her, nor had the history of the Heavenly Palace ever recorded this matter...
She detested the Heavenly Palace, and when she knew the Heavenly Palace was about to be completely taken over by the Sky Demon, she fanned the flames, causing it to happen faster.
The Sky Demon becoming the ruler would at most drive the Human Clan away, and other races would still survive normally in this World.
However, she did not expect that if the Heavenly Palace perished, the entire World would collapse as well. Whether it be the Human Clan, the Sky Demon, or other races and continents, all would be utterly shattered.
Dai Qing was not a pure traitor; she just wanted to change the rulers of the Heavenly Palace. But she did not expect that the cost of changing the rulers would be the destruction of this World...
Moreover, it seems to be the last World for all living beings, because before this, 4 Dimensions have already completely collapsed, leaving only remnants like these Independent Spaces. But no one knows that these are remnants of other Worlds.
The Human Mother looked at the disheartened Dai Qing and said in a sorrowful self-mockery: "The Heavenly Palace is very fragile, very fragile. The crushing of 4 Dimensions already fully illustrates that the Heavenly Palace is not eternal, so we need to constantly create the false image of a strong Heavenly Palace..."
"Then, what about the energy of the Red Fire Day?" Dai Qing asked.
"Part of it is used to create Divine Dew to sustain our longevity, and part of it is the energy to maintain the operation of this World. The World is supported by ten Heavenly Boundary Monuments, distributed in different Places, forming the pillars of the World. Once the ten Heavenly Boundary Monuments run out of energy, the void will crush the World!"
"Why not tell us this?" Dai Qing asked.
The Human Mother responded with a pale smile.
Can this secret be spoken?
If told, it’s no different than telling certain ill-intentioned creatures how to destroy this World.
The seemingly strong World is actually very fragile. It doesn’t necessarily require world-shattering power, but just needs to destroy the Heavenly Palace, to disrupt the Solar Eclipse Array.
Some creatures fear chaos in the World; Unreal Level creatures, even if the World collapses, they can survive, but below the Undying Level creatures will completely disappear...
...
The things the Human Mother told Dai Qing were also what the Human Mother had told Chu Mu before.
The Human Mother knew that Chu Mu cared about the Human Land, precisely the Northern Territory of the Human Land where the people he must protect reside. Telling him this, he would definitely take action.
Indeed, Chu Mu must stand on the Human Mother’s side now.
The collapse of the heavens and earth in Yin Valley left too deep an impression on Chu Mu. At that moment, the Sky was shrouded by a Black Hole, the ground collapsed into a bottomless Abyss, creatures in Yin Valley began to run aimlessly, searching for a safe haven. Yet no matter where they fled to, only death awaited them.
In a collapsing Space, all you could seem to do was wait for death’s arrival, just like those two Light Kings of the Seven Sins Fox.
Chu Mu had witnessed the harshness of space collapse firsthand; that was just a small Yin Valley...
If the entire World collapses, hundreds of millions of lives will perish, and Chu Mu will watch helplessly as only a few people survive besides himself, while everyone else vanishes...
Such a scene is frightening even to imagine.
The Netherworld Fox God also knew this secret, so despite having enough Strength to destroy the Heavenly Palace, it chose to stand beside Chu Mu because it, like Huangquan, had its own people to protect. They are the gods of the Sea Race and Demon Race.
As gods, they are not rulers, but carry a mission and responsibility they cannot shirk when disasters come!
Strong Ones of other eras have already been enraged. Even if the Human Mother tells them the fact that the World will collapse, they still won’t believe it.
Yet Chu Mu, Huangquan, and the Netherworld Fox God chose to believe, even if this might be the Human Mother crying wolf, they cannot allow the World to be destroyed in their era.
