Chapter 12718 It's better to rely on yourself than on others
"who are you?"
Ren Feifan's voice was very soft, so soft that it was almost drowned out by the low whistling of the chaotic airflow.
The boy did not answer immediately.
He turned his head slightly, looking towards the deeper part of the burial ground—where something even he had to be wary of was awakening.
He could sense a powerful force spreading like a tide, and within thirty breaths, this place would be completely sealed off.
But he still didn't move.
He simply turned his gaze back to the man in front of him: "You must be the Ren Feifan that kid was talking about."
Ren Feifan was taken aback; the other person's voice carried an undeniable imperial authority.
But what struck him as odd was not the voice, but the boy!
This must refer to Ye Chen.
Could it be that this boy who looks like me went to the other side of the starry sky to see Ye Chen?
What is his purpose?
"His great path will be recorded in history, his extraordinary name will resonate through the ages... How interesting indeed..."
The Emperor's voice rang out again.
Ren Feifan looked around and could sense a group of terrifying beings approaching!
Before long, both of them will be surrounded by powerful figures from the Divine Tomb!
However, Ren Feifan calmed down and asked, "You went to see Ye Chen? Is he... alright?"
This is his biggest concern.
The young emperor ignored him completely, instead reaching out and gently waving his hand, a golden power enveloping Ren Feifan's entire body!
Ren Feifan felt his injuries healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
However, the young Emperor Wei was clearly not interested in healing Ren Feifan's injuries; he stared curiously at Ren Feifan's brow.
The golden power that flowed throughout Ren Feifan's body finally gathered at the center of his brow.
A faint mark appeared.
As the boy looked at the mark, something flickered slightly in the depths of his eyes for a moment.
"really."
Just then, several powerful auras swept over!
Without a doubt, it must be a divine tomb!
The boy shook his head, closed his eyes slightly, and then suddenly opened them. His eyes seemed to shoot out golden runes. The runes flowed and eventually formed a special golden bell that enveloped the two of them!
Through this giant golden bell, Ren Feifan could sense that those powerful auras were visibly slowing down!
Time? Space? Or some other, more powerful Dao?
The boy stepped forward and spoke again, his voice very soft, as if he were telling a story that had nothing to do with him:
"That year, he was nailed to death in that sorrowful place."
"That nail is still there. Countless forces have spent endless years trying to refine it, but instead have been imprisoned by its suppressive power for eternity."
He paused.
“I should have stayed there and stayed... because the course of this game couldn’t be changed, and no matter how hard I tried, it would have been useless.”
"Until a dream."
"I seemed to see another version of myself in my dream."
"Like yourself."
"I also heard a name."
"Ye Chen".
"That dream was both too real and too unreal."
"I want to verify something."
"Now we have the answer."
"Would you be interested in coming somewhere with me?"
Ren Feifan hesitated for a moment. This boy was too strange, but he had developed a strong interest in that place.
He failed to complete his mission at the Divine Tomb, but his current injuries mean there's no need to continue.
"Let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, the boy waved his arm lightly, and this area seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force!
He stepped out lightly and disappeared.
Ren Feifan no longer hesitated and followed.
……
At this moment, Ye Chen naturally had no idea about Ren Feifan's situation.
He looked at the dark pillar of the abyss, where all the abyssal energy had settled and solidified, and everything seemed to have returned to calm.
But he knew very well that this calm was only temporary, and the Yin spirit would eventually break free of the seal.
"The abyss has been temporarily sealed, but it will inevitably erupt in a month at most."
Ye Chen sighed. Sealing the abyss for a month was already the result of his and Yuan Zu's best efforts.
At this moment, many high-ranking elders of the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect also gathered, but when they looked at the pitch-black abyss pillar, they were all helpless.
The Yin Yang Divine Path Sect does not have a sect leader; Tianwen and Tingyou each lead a sect, and there are no supreme elders. The two of them are the most powerful beings.
Even with their combined efforts, the two could only seal the abyss for a month. After a month, when the Yin God broke free of the seal and broke out, it would still be the end of the world for the other side of the starry sky.
“I can help, or…”
The goddess of beauty looked at Ye Chen. With the perfect path of light and pure beauty that she now possessed, she could suppress the abyss if she sacrificed herself.
"It's no use, Goddess of Beauty. Even if you sacrifice yourself, you can only prolong the seal time at most. You still can't completely destroy the Abyss."
Ye Chen shook his head and raised his hand to stop the goddess.
Even if the goddess of beauty were to sacrifice herself, it would only be a temporary fix, not a permanent solution to completely destroy the abyss. Even if the seal were extended, it would only prolong its existence.
"What should I do?"
Even the goddess of beauty was helpless. The Abyss was one of the two supreme beings of the world's origin. Even the Primordial Goddess of the past could not completely destroy it, let alone the people present.
Ye Chen frowned in thought, recalling what Elder Ye Liao of the Burning Heaven Ancient Saint Sect had said before: to defeat the Black Queen Mother, it was necessary to awaken the Ancestor Zhan Tian.
Now that the Black Queen Mother and the Yin God have merged and become part of the Abyss, it will undoubtedly be extremely difficult for Ye Chen to destroy them.
Or, could we try to awaken the Ancestor Zhantian?
Ye Chen's heart stirred, and he summoned the stone coffin of the Ancestor Zhan Tian. With a snap, he opened the coffin lid and saw an old man lying quietly inside. His upper body was surrounded by holy light, while his lower body was wrapped in wisps of dark and chaotic eerie energy.
Sainthood and evil intertwined within the old man, confronting each other.
"Someone once told me that in order to defeat the Black Queen Mother, which is to defeat the Abyss, we must awaken the Ancestor Zhan Tian."
"With the help of Ancestor Zhantian, there might really be a chance to kill Abyss."
Ye Chen pondered for a moment before speaking.
Ancestor Zhantian was a powerful being from before the world existed. He was born before the Primordial Era and the Abyss were even born.
He is also one of the three ancestors of the Wild Hunt path and the creator of the Slash Technique. If he were to be revived, the power of the Slash Technique might truly be enough to slay the Abyss.
Everyone was shocked and uncertain when they saw the corpse of the Ancestor Zhantian.
From this corpse, they vaguely glimpsed the divine might of the Ancestor Zhan Tian in the past. He wielded the Zhan Tian Sword, slaying all demons and monsters with unparalleled arrogance and domineering power. However, he ultimately could not eliminate his own inner demons and chose to sleep in the Tomb of the Gods.
Rumbling--
After the corpse of the Ancestor Zhantian was displayed, a faint rumble of thunder could be heard from the sky above, with rolling lightning and fire radiating outwards, turning a patch of the sky into an eerie crimson.
"The Tomb of the Gods... are you still not giving up?"
Ye Chen's gaze turned cold as he instantly sensed a powerful force casting its gaze upon him.
It is indeed the Tomb of the Gods!
The Divine Tomb also wants to seize the corpse of the Ancestor Zhan Tian!
Ye Chen immediately put away the stone coffin and asked the crowd, "Does anyone have a way to awaken Ancestor Zhan Tian?"
Ye Chen had no other choice but to seek advice from others.
Master Tingyou pondered and said, "I observe that the body of Ancestor Zhantian has been restored. However, his inner demons have not been eliminated, so he is unwilling to wake up."
"If he doesn't overcome his inner demons, even if he wakes up, he will only become a madman and evil god."
Ancestor Tianwen said, "I have heard that Ancestor Zhantian is one of the three progenitors of the Wild Hunt path. Wild Hunt pursues a frenzied hunt and is a group of fierce and wild madmen. If we really awaken Ancestor Zhantian, what should we do if he does not stand on our side?"
He was somewhat worried, fearing that the Ancestor Zhantian might be on the opposing side.
"It's better to rely on yourself than on others. We cannot entrust our life and death to the hands of others!"
At this moment, Yuanzu also spoke up. He was very cautious and did not place his hopes on Zhantian Laozu.
"What can we do? With our strength, we are simply not enough to kill the Abyss."
The goddess said that by combining everyone's strength, the seal could be extended, but it would only prolong its life.
Ye Chen fell silent. Unfortunately, as the leader of the sect, he could only glimpse the method to defeat Tai Chu. The imminent threat of the abyss right before his eyes remained unresolved.
"Lord of Reincarnation, let me give it a try."
Just then, a voice suddenly came from the Graveyard of Reincarnation; it was the voice of the Goddess of Dawn.
"what?"
Ye Chen was surprised and suspicious.
The Goddess of Dawn gently placed her hand on her heart and said, "I wield the path of hope. Perhaps I can open a path of hope for you and find a way to overcome the abyss."
"Hope..." Ye Chen murmured softly, for he truly saw no hope now.
But then the Goddess of Dawn clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and without waiting for Ye Chen's response, sacrificed herself, murmuring softly:
"As dawn breaks and darkness dissipates, I burn myself to ashes, wishing to dispel the evil spirits and relieve the calamities of the heavens..."
Her body rapidly disintegrated, turning into tiny, firefly-like specks of light that quickly merged into Ye Chen's body.
Ye Chen was jolted awake as he received the power of hope from the Goddess of Dawn. In an instant, in the boundless darkness and chaos, he seemed to glimpse a path.
A road of hope.
It can slay the abyss and save the world from collapse.
Endless morning light shone on Ye Chen, causing the Goddess of Beauty, the Primordial Ancestor, the Heavenly Question Ancestor, and others to show a look of surprise.
As they looked at Ye Chen, they felt a gentle and peaceful power, as if a voice was softly whispering: There is no need to despair, hope still exists, and there is still light in this world.
Ye Chen closed his eyes and found a path of hope amidst the boundless radiance. Then he opened his eyes, and in an instant, the entire starry sky was shimmering with the glow of dawn, and everyone felt a sense of peace in their hearts.
"I see."
Ye Chen spoke slowly.
"Know what?"
The goddess asked hurriedly.
Ye Chen stared at the dark abyss pillar in front of him and slowly said:
"To slay the Abyss is simple; I will ascend to godhood."
There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, as if he had already glimpsed a way to break the deadlock.
"What do you mean?"
Beauty Goddess, Yuanzu, Tianwen Tingyou, and others were all bewildered.
"Once I ascend to godhood and attain the Heavenly Pillar Realm, I can slay the Abyss."
"Once I have severed the will of the Yin God, I will inherit the authority of the Abyss, support the darkness with my own body, become the new Abyss, and then suppress the Primordial Chaos."
Ye Chen clenched his fist, and after saying these words, with a whoosh, his whole body shone even brighter, and a beautiful figure emerged from behind him.
It was the goddess of dawn who had just sacrificed herself!
The Goddess of Dawn has been resurrected!
Upon seeing the figure of the Goddess of Dawn, everyone was stunned.
From the Goddess of Dawn, they gleaned some clues about cause and effect, realizing that the Goddess of Dawn's sacrifice had illuminated Ye Chen's path of hope and provided a way to break the deadlock.
But the Goddess of Dawn, who had already sacrificed herself, was resurrected and walked out of Ye Chen's cycle of reincarnation unharmed. This was simply unbelievable, completely violating the laws of the world and reversing all cause and effect.
Faintly, everyone sensed a law, an ultimate law. That law consisted of only four words, but as long as one mastered these four words, one could crush all enemies and become the ruler of all heavens.
Unfortunately, these four words have been obscured by chaos. Only Ye Chen can unleash the power of these four words under certain specific circumstances, reversing the cause and effect of the world.
The Goddess of Dawn was also taken aback, never expecting that she could be resurrected.
"Lord of Reincarnation, if you attain the Heavenly Pillar Realm, you can indeed slay the Abyss."
"But, there's no time."
Ancestor Tianwen frowned and pondered. He knew how powerful Ye Chen was, possessing countless Daoist techniques, supernatural powers, and authority. If Ye Chen could acquire the strength of the Heavenly Pillar Realm, it would be enough to defy the Abyss.
After all, the Yin God of the Abyss is not at his peak right now, and is not invincible.
The problem is that Ye Chen's current cultivation level is only at the ninth level of the Undying Realm.
He would find it difficult to advance to the Heavenly Dao Realm, let alone the Heavenly Pillar Realm.
The Abyss, the Primordial Beginning, and the Chaos Ancestor are all rejecting Ye Chen. There is no way forward for Ye Chen. The three supreme beings will not allow him to take another step forward.
He wanted to prove himself, and he had to forge a new path for himself.
The abyss will break free of its seal in a month. With Ye Chen's current cultivation level, if he exerts all his strength, he may be able to successfully prove the Heavenly Dao Realm within a month.
However, in just one month, there is absolutely no way he could have attained the Heavenly Pillar Realm.
It should be noted that the Heavenly Dao Realm has nine layers. One must traverse all nine layers before one can possibly reach the Heavenly Pillar Realm.
"No, there's still time."
"To attain the Heavenly Pillar Realm, one does not necessarily need to step into the Heavenly Pillar Realm."
Ye Chen's gaze remained firm, as if he had grasped the most correct path and everything he said was correct.
"Uh……"
Everyone was stunned and puzzled. How could one attain the Heavenly Pillar Realm without stepping into it?
Ye Chen said, "I bear many divine powers. Those pillar gods were at the Heavenly Pillar Realm at their peak, so I don't need to deliberately prove my Dao. I can forge my Dao by stepping on the corpses of my predecessors."
"As long as I step into the Heavenly Dao Realm, with the body of the Heavenly Dao Realm and the authority of the gods as a guide, I can borrow the future and attain the Dao."
He had a clear vision in his mind; all the darkness of the future seemed to have been pierced by the dawn, and he saw a clear path to hope.
A path that can slay the abyss.
That is, to ascend to godhood and attain enlightenment on one's own!
