836: Chapter 828 Seed of the World

"It was I who was too naive, thinking too simply."

"I thought it was merely a plane Nirvana, but I severely underestimated the temptation of that seed, and I was unprepared to face plunder of such a magnitude..."

The will of the immortal domain sighed deeply, filled with endless regret.

"That wisp of Dao Rhyme was like a Supreme torch lit in the darkness, instantly attracting several terrifying and unparalleled wills!"

"They tore through the boundary walls and descended aggressively. In order to fight for the seed, a destructive melee erupted... above the immortal domain!"

"You are currently only Celestial Emperors and Immortal Emperors; you still cannot comprehend its preciousness."

"But for those top-tier almighty beings of the heavens, a complete World Promotion Seed is a Supreme treasure capable of overturning the Dao path and contending for eternal Foundations."

"Holding this seed, they could forcefully cultivate a high-level world of the heavens, possess the Origin of a world, and wield the authority of a Celestial Realm."

"Even if they didn't cultivate a plane, the transcendent Dao contained within the seed alone could help them break through their own Realm shackles, with boundless prospects ahead."

"Such temptation is hard for the heavens to resist!"

The entire scene instantly quieted down. All the Celestial Emperors and Immortal Emperors were silent, understanding everything in their hearts.

If it were them, holding a seed capable of creating a world of the heavens and breaking through to the Supreme Dao Realm, they would also fight for it at all costs.

This was not merely a conflict between immortals and demons, but a Supreme game at the level of the heavens.

"In the end, while I tried my best to protect the seed and the mountains and rivers, I still could not prevent the immortal domain from crumbling inch by inch in the aftermath of their battle!"

"And, Purple Bamboo's Breakthrough process was forcibly interrupted; his dao foundation suffered a terrifying backlash, and he sustained unimaginable Dao injuries."

"Before he could regulate his breathing to heal or stabilize his dao foundation, the Black Abyss world took advantage of his weakness, invaded on a large scale, and began millions of years of continuous warfare."

"I... was wrong. I have let down the living beings of the immortal domain, and even more so, I have let down Purple Bamboo."

The will of the immortal domain sighed deeply!

"One wrong step led to total defeat, causing the immortal domain's millions of years of Foundation to be destroyed in an instant!"

Everyone was silent for a long time, their hearts filled with mixed feelings.

So, the root of the millions of years of war, displacement, and the decline of the world in the immortal domain was all due to that gamble and the greed of the heavens back then.

The Celestial Emperor of the Beginning, Xuan Yangzi, and the other powerhouses sighed silently, their eyes filled with lamentation.

The golden light of the will of the immortal domain trembled slightly: "It has been five million years..."

It gazed at the Daoist Purple Bamboo in the center, who was bathed in golden light and restarting his path of Breakthrough. Its Dao voice was low and hoarse, filled with regret.

"Back then, I insisted on betting the entire immortal domain, insisting on condensing the world seed and pushing for plane promotion."

"In the end, the situation collapsed, and the immortal domain shattered."

"But the person I let down the most... is Purple Bamboo."

With these words falling softly, the entire place suddenly fell silent.

"He had already glimpsed the secrets of heaven and held a Supreme dao foundation; he should have ascended to the Heavens and transcended the Celestial Emperor millions of years ago."

"It was my failed gamble that forcefully cut off his Supreme path ahead; his promotion was intercepted, his Dao backlashed, and he was severely injured."

"He, a destined child of heaven who should have been free to roam the heavens, was dragged down by me, trapped in a remnant domain, his Dao suppressed for a million years."

"For a million years, he has guarded the shattered world, guarded the dilapidated living beings, and guarded the mess I left behind, bearing all the darkness and war."

"He was clearly blameless, yet he bore millions of years of imprisonment and millions of years of regret for me."

The light of the immortal domain shook violently, as if the guilt accumulated over a million years was finally being vented.

"I thought that in his lifetime, he would never have the chance to complete that step."

"I thought that what I owed him could never be repaid in this life."

"Until today... he broke his own shackles and restarted his Dao path, relying not on the gifts of heaven and earth, but solely on his own accumulation."

"He is forcing his way to walk out that path to the heavens that I personally severed!"

At this moment.

Everyone in the scene was completely stunned, their hearts aching, and they understood everything completely.

So, Purple Bamboo could have taken this step millions of years ago, but he stopped for the sake of the immortal domain.

Daoist Purple Bamboo, who had been standing silently, slowly raised his eyes to look at the trembling golden light, his tone calm and indifferent.

"The past is but a prologue; there is no need to speak of owing or failing."

"The world seeking Nirvana and all living beings seeking transcendence is the Righteous Path; you are not at fault."

"I am the Innate Purple Bamboo of the immortal domain, rooted in this world, living alongside the mountains and rivers; guarding my homeland is my Dao."

"Today, I have broken my own shackles, my dao foundation has been revived, and millions of years of accumulation have turned into the Foundation for transcendence; this is both my Opportunity and a new beginning."

"The Karma of the past need not be mentioned again."

Upon hearing this, the will of the immortal domain's violently trembling light slowly calmed down, and the heavy boulder that had been pressing on its heart for millions of years finally crashed to the ground.

The surging golden Dao patterns became gentle and harmonious again.

The heavens were silent, and everyone felt mixed emotions, with both lamentation and endless admiration.

The golden light around Daoist Purple Bamboo became increasingly rich. He swept his gaze across the audience and said loudly:

"I will immediately find a place to enter secluded meditation for three days to stabilize my Realm and completely step into the Heaven-Reaching Realm."

"Three days later, the entire army will be reorganized to follow me and Changge to the Black Abyss to settle the grudges of eternity!"

As his voice fell, Purple Bamboo's figure flickered, turning into a stream of light that sped toward a secluded area in the distance to meditate on the Dao.

The Celestial Emperors and Immortal Emperors looked at each other, their Battle Intent and emotions intertwined in their chests.

For a long time, the Celestial Emperor of the Beginning gritted his teeth and asked the question everyone cared about most:

"Senior... was that World Seed ultimately taken away by those almighty beings from outside the domain?"

At this moment, everyone held their breath, their eyes locked tightly on the will of the immortal domain.

The light of the will of the immortal domain rose and fell violently, carrying a trace of luck and a trace of confusion, as it slowly spoke:

"The melee reached its end, the immortal domain shattered, and the situation completely collapsed."

"To prevent the seed from falling into the hands of the powerful beings outside the domain, and to cut off their thoughts of plundering the Foundation of the immortal domain."

"I tried my best to force that World Seed into the deepest part of the Chaos at the very last moment."

"The Chaos is boundless, and the secrets of heaven are hard to fathom."

"Whether it was annihilated in the Chaos, obtained by someone, or has hidden itself... I do not know."

"Since then, I have completely lost contact with it."

The entire scene fell into silence once again.

That "Seed of the World," which carried the endless hope of the immortal domain and also brought about the world-ending catastrophe, ultimately ended up with an unknown fate, having been struck into the depths of the Chaos, its life or death unknown, and its whereabouts a mystery.

Everyone felt mixed emotions; there was regret for the loss of that Supreme treasure, a hint of satisfaction that the powerful enemies from outside the domain did not succeed, and more than anything, confusion about the path ahead.

"Will that seed return?"

"Or is it that the millions of years of sacrifice and suffering of the immortal domain were ultimately for nothing?"

Just in this heavy silence, Gu Changge's white clothes fluttered, and his expression remained as calm as ever.

His Divine Thought quietly sank into the System space, where the gray egg obtained from checking in, which he had repeatedly investigated but could not see through, floated quietly, its appearance plain and unremarkable.

But he clearly remembered the tremor this ancient egg emitted before he first entered the immortal domain, and his heart stirred slightly:

"Could it be it?"
