94: Chapter 94 Fate Cannot Confine Me, Blue Star Will Usher in a New Era!
At the edge of the 90,000-level forbidden zone, turbulent space-time tore at the broken star remains.
Fuxi's remnant soul froze stiff for a full half-minute.
He took a deep breath, the Eight Trigrams Dao rhymes around him barely steadying his crumbling state of mind, and he gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"It seems that I have been looking at the sky from the bottom of a well."
He shook his head, his inscrutable demeanor as an expert from the outside world shattered completely.
Then, Fuxi's expression turned solemn: "I was ordered by Goddess Nüwa to wait for you here. I originally intended to bestow a sliver of opportunity upon you, but now it seems that was entirely unnecessary."
Fuxi stared fixedly at Jiang Feng: "Take my advice and do not go any further. The World King has set up an absolute kill formation there. Your potential is heaven-defying; it would be better to accompany me to the Upper Heavens. Fight for the human race and tear apart the World King's blockade!"
Jiang Feng remained expressionless, brushing dust that did not exist from his sleeves.
"Not interested."
Fuxi was stunned: "You are unwilling to contribute to the human race?"
"Don't try to flatter me."
Jiang Feng's tone was cold, "When I want to go to the Upper Heavens, I will go myself. I am the type of person who hates others telling me what to do."
His gaze was deep, looking straight into the depths of the void: "If someone provokes me, I will naturally go and wreck their place. But how I fight, and when I fight, is up to me."
Fuxi frowned, wanting to persuade him further: "Young man, you do not know the World King..."
"Hum—!" Before he could finish, a beam of soft, five-colored divine light silently pierced through the sturdy boundary of the 90,000-level map.
Lotuses bloomed in the void.
A stunningly beautiful woman with a human head and a snake's body solidified within the light.
She did not leak a shred of pressure, yet the violent space-time turbulence around her instantly turned into a gentle breeze.
Fuxi's remnant soul bowed and saluted on the spot: "Goddess!"
Nüwa did not look at Fuxi; her gaze landed on Jiang Feng. Then, she actually smiled. The smile was gentle and carried an appreciation that spanned eons.
Extreme shock flashed in Fuxi's eyes. It had been twenty thousand years; since the day the Blue Star's laws were smashed, he had never seen the Goddess smile.
"I did not expect that the Heaven Mender who would break this deadlock would be so young."
Nüwa's voice was ethereal, devoid of any airs of a high-dimensional deity.
Jiang Feng was neither humble nor arrogant, nodding slightly. If others respected him by a foot, he would respect them by a yard.
Nüwa did not ramble on like Fuxi. She looked deeply at Jiang Feng. The next instant, a voice that only Jiang Feng could hear fell directly into his mind.
"My human race is willing to go through fire and water for Huaxia, and I will not force you to take up a divine position."
"But remember this: The World King's so-called rules are actually a massive, heaven-covering scheme. The path ahead is dangerous; you must be careful."
Nüwa's telepathic message paused, her tone carrying a rare hint of solemnity.
"Deep within those ruins lies the World King's bait. I observe that your destiny vaguely contains the character 'Trap'. It is highly likely related to these ruins; if you do not have absolute certainty, do not step foot inside."
Jiang Feng did not speak. He stood quietly in place, his eyes calm as water.
Nüwa said no more and waved her long sleeves. The five-colored divine light swept up Fuxi's remnant soul, directly tore through the void, and vanished into the vast star sea of the Upper Heavens.
In the endless galaxy, Fuxi could not help but turn his head to look at the serene-looking Nüwa. "Goddess, this young man is extremely arrogant. Can he really pave the path to the future for Huaxia?"
Nüwa stopped, her snake tail gently rippling through the star sea. She lowered her head, gazing from afar at the blue planet surrounded by eight thousand Chaos Flying Swords.
"Fate has its own arrangements." Nüwa spoke faintly. No forcing, no binding. This was her greatest indulgence toward Jiang Feng.
Winter Demon Abyss. "Boom!" A massive body ten thousand zhang long brutally smashed through three small meteorites and slammed heavily onto the core throne of the Winter Demon Abyss. The Ancient Ancestral Dragon, Dragon Girl.
Her golden vertical pupils spewed violent lightning, scanning the surroundings. Empty. The originally luxurious and massive Abyss Demon Castle now looked like it had been chewed on by a dog. The floor tiles had been pried away, the treasure vault emptied. Even the glowing night pearls on the walls had been gouged out completely.
The Abyss Demon Emperor Baal had long since packed up and run away with the elite of his entire clan.
"Roar—!" Dragon Girl was furious. Her master had told her to come and scatter Baal's ashes, and this guy actually dared to run! Where would that leave her, the new Heavenly Dao?
She sniffed hard. In the vacuum, a faint, panicked trace of Abyss Demon Qi remained, pointing directly into the deep, endless starry sky.
"Want to run?" Dragon Girl grinned with her massive dragon mouth, revealing stark white fangs: "You stood me up; if I used your bones to make soup, I'd think they were too tough!"
"Crackle—" The Ancient Ancestral Dragon World-Destroying Thunder Body erupted fully. Dragon Girl transformed into a destructive bolt of lightning that even light could not catch, tearing through cosmic space and chasing madly in the direction of the lingering Demon Qi. The ashes must be scattered today!
Blue Star. Eight thousand Chaos Flying Swords hovered in the stratosphere, and the eight billion people of the world knelt in unison. Within Huaxia, they were the first to recover from the shock of that ancient bloodline awakening.
The World Channel, in the exclusive Huaxia region, had completely exploded! The speed of the scrolling barrage was comparable to a light-brain's calculation. Everyone had awakened that memory which had been sealed for twenty thousand years.
They finally knew how glorious Blue Star had originally been! It was a world supreme that had almost reached the pinnacle of the Great Realms! They also finally knew how despicable the World King was. In order to suppress Blue Star, he had forcibly beaten a high-martial world of cultivation and seeking the Dao into a data cage that only recognized health bars and mana bars.
Fury. Boundless fury burned madly in the veins of every Huaxia person. The voices of the pro-war faction instantly dominated the screen.
[Zhao Ke Man Hu Ying]: Screw that World King! Even if I'm only level 10, even if I have to be cannon fodder, I'm going to bite a chunk of flesh off those scum in the Upper Heavens!
[Iron-Blooded Veteran]: We've been hiding for sixty years! This pent-up anger has been held for too long! Goddess Nüwa is suffering in the Upper Realm, how can we sit at home and watch the show!
[Nameless Assassin]: Stop the chatter! Who can open a portal to the Upper Realm? I've got a load of top-grade explosives; I'm going up there to give the World King a bang!
Of course, Huaxia people have never lacked rational minds. [Wolong Is Here]: Brothers, calm down! The World King must have weaknesses! We need to research a solution to crack the high-dimensional laws!
[Heavenly Secret Calculator]: That's right! We just took over the heritage of the Western countries; let's hurry and research if Heavenly Dao Godheads can be mass-produced! If we're going to fight, we fight a rich war!
The arguments were endless. But what was surprisingly consistent was that not a single person was pessimistic, and not a single person backed down! This was the soul of Huaxia. Better to die standing than to live on one's knees.
Suddenly, a highlighted comment was frantically liked and pinned to the top. [Dongjiang Old Zhao]: Shut up, everyone! The most important thing we should do now is wait for Divine Venerable Qingfeng to come out of seclusion! Wherever the Divine Venerable points his sword, we will kill our way through!
"Right! Wait for the Divine Venerable to come out of seclusion!" "Revitalize Huaxia! Sweep across the Upper Realm!" The fighting spirit was completely ignited. In the past, Nüwa had blocked the World King's butcher knife with her own strength. Now, they had their own invincible commander—Qingfeng.
Dongjiang City, Pedestrian Street. Shen Qingni stared fixedly at the World Channel on her retina. She knelt on the hard concrete ground, her gorgeous skirt covered in dust. That cold face, once so aloof, was now filled with indescribable shock and despair.
Her worldview had completely shattered. The S-rank talent [Frost Queen] she had once been so proud of? In the face of today's grand racial narrative and the dimensional reduction of the myriad worlds, it was not even worth as much as a low-quality plastic toy.
Pain. Her soul was aching deep down. She was cursing herself, wondering how ignorant and short-sighted she had been in the past to display that aloof, condescending attitude toward the man who could crush the Heavenly Dao with one hand and suppress the universe.
Behind her, the four boys who had always been devotedly circling around her: Zhao Feng, Li Hao, Wang Qiang, and Zhang Ming, were already pale, their legs trembling slightly.
Wang Qiang pretended to be calm, shouting with his neck stiff, but his gaze subconsciously glanced at Shen Qingni, just wanting to save face in front of her: "Qingni, don't be afraid! At worst, we'll just fight it out! When Divine Venerable Qingfeng returns, we'll follow him and kill our way to the Upper Realm!"
Li Hao quickly agreed, his tone extremely shaky: "Exactly! We can't be cowards! We're Awakened, after all, how can we be this scared!"
Zhang Ming's body was shaking like a sieve, but he still tried to act tough: "I, I'm not afraid! It's just the Upper Realm... let's go!"
Only Zhao Feng gritted his teeth and acted tough, looking as if he were ready to face death, yet deep in his eyes, he hid uncontrollable fear. They were terrified inside, their legs almost turning to jelly, but they just didn't want to show weakness in front of the school beauty, so they braced themselves and shouted about fighting.
"Shut up, all of you." A hoarse, chilling voice interrupted the four's clumsy performance.
Shen Qingni slowly stood up, not bothering to brush the dust off her skirt. She looked at these four boys who usually fawned over her and were now forcing themselves to act heroic, feeling only absurdity and ridicule.
"Wake up." Shen Qingni's voice was terrifyingly calm, carrying a hint of utter, defeated exhaustion, "Do you really think you're going to the Upper Realm to fight?"
She laughed softly, a bleak and powerless laugh: "You are only pretending to be fearless because you are afraid of losing face in front of me. But you know better than anyone in your hearts that you are so scared you can barely stand."
The four's faces instantly turned pale; having their thoughts exposed, they all lowered their heads.
Shen Qingni gazed at the sky, her eyes hollow, as if she had finally woken up from a long dream. "I lost. Completely and utterly lost."
"Even now, I cannot believe that the boy Jiang Feng, whom I once ignored and looked down upon, really crushed the Heavenly Dao with one hand and suppressed the myriad worlds."
"All of this feels like an unreal dream. But it truly happened."
She gently closed her eyes, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible: "Between him and me, it was never about the difference in talent or status. It is the difference between the clouds and the mud, the distance between a mortal and a god. All the pride I had before, in front of him, was just a joke."
90,000-level forbidden zone, [Divine Court Ruins]. In the silent interstellar ruins. Jiang Feng stood alone before a massive, broken monument of the gods. Fuxi and Nüwa had already left. The warning, "Destiny carries a trap, do not step foot inside," still echoed in his mind.
Jiang Feng looked up, toward the deeper parts of the ruins. There, dark purple chaotic mists rolled, quiet to the point of eeriness. But behind this silence, there was a danger that even his 160,000x multiplier could not completely ignore.
"The Trap destiny tribulation?" Jiang Feng chewed on these four words in a low voice, a cold arc curling at the corner of his lips. His intuition was extremely sharp. If he turned back to Blue Star to live a stable life, the World King would surely bring down even more terrifying sanctions. He could not afford to drag it out. He had to stack his stats to the point where the World King would want to gouge out his own eyes just by looking at them.
Jiang Feng clenched his fists. "Destiny tribulation? I'd like to see if the World King's bait is hard enough."
"Boom—!" Jiang Feng took a step forward. There were no flashy skill light effects, just the purest explosion of physical strength! The broken star remains within a radius of one hundred thousand li were instantly trampled into a void of atomic state the moment his foot landed.
The terrifying 160,000x multiplier on his body, combined with his 648 trillion base four-dimensional stats, transformed into a layer of visible dark golden origin storm, circling his entire body.
Wherever Jiang Feng passed, those ancient aberrations lurking in the ruins, which were up to 90,000-level, were ground into blood mist by the origin storm without even a chance to scream.
He was like a humanoid tyrannosaurus, brutally smashing through the layers of law barriers laid by the World King, charging straight into the deepest part of the ruins! The path ahead was endlessly dark, as if even time and space had been completely swallowed, leaving only the World King's faint, condescending pressure that looked down upon all living beings.
Just at the moment Jiang Feng's figure was completely swallowed by the mist. Blue Star, World Channel. A piece of unprecedented, blinding golden light suddenly popped up on the retinas of billions of players!
[Ding! Server-wide highest announcement!] [Demon Domain and reality fusion progress: Soaring to 95%!] [World Law countdown has started!]
[Announcement: If the player "Qingfeng" can survive the destiny tribulation ahead and completely tear apart the ruins' laws, Blue Star will 100% fuse with the Demon Domain!]
[At that time, Blue Star will shed its data shackles. From the data age, it will officially enter the era of high-martial arts for all!] [Qingfeng will attain the Dao and become a god, Dragon Girl will take charge of the Heavenly Dao, and Huaxia will stand tall among the heavens, never to be destroyed!]
The golden characters, carrying a sacred and inviolable majesty, were firmly branded into the eyes of every person on the globe. The entire world, at this moment, fell into a deathly silence. Then, came the ultimate revelry after extreme suppression. And the turning point of all this was entirely tied to the man who had killed his way alone into the 90,000-level forbidden zone.
