375: Chapter 375 Dialogue

Time passed leisurely, and the stars shifted. In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had passed.

During this period, Lingxiao Heaven became the main target of the Weird forces. Over ninety percent of its living beings were killed or injured, and in the end, the entire Heaven was torn apart, shattering into countless star fragments that scattered in all directions.

Lin Yang's grave, due to the intensity of the battle, could not be relocated in time and eventually drifted into the depths of the Universe along with one of the star fragments.

After the fall of Lingxiao Heaven, the surviving beings had no choice but to turn to the last remaining Heaven—Wuliang Heaven!

In fact, before the fall of Lingxiao, the survivors from other fallen Heavens had also chosen to flee to Wuliang Heaven, the strongest of the Nine Heavens.

However, before Lingxiao Heaven was relocated, Dao Venerable Taia weighed the situation for a long time and finally performed an act that shocked and earned the admiration of everyone!

He sacrificed his own life to buy a chance for Aili, who was being besieged by three Eerie Venerable Lords, to escape!

Thus, eight of the Nine Heavens had perished!

The only consolation was that although eight Heavens had been destroyed, the top-tier forces remained.

In addition to Boundless Great Venerable of Wuliang Heaven, there were also Great Venerable Juyan of Giant Rock Heaven, Supreme Storm of Storm Heaven, Great Venerable Chiming of Chiming Heaven, and Aili, who had entered the Dragon God Realm.

With five Immortal Emperors guarding it, the current Wuliang Heaven was as solid as a fortress!

Even the Eerie Venerable Lords were now only besieging it without attacking, not daring to easily initiate the final decisive battle!

Because if a full-scale decisive battle were to break out, the five Immortal Emperors could strike simultaneously and would have a good chance of taking down several of their Venerable Lords with them!

No one could be sure if they would be the unlucky one, so the Eerie Venerable Lords chose a temporary truce, waiting for a better opportunity for the final battle!

...

This was a world composed entirely of light, without the concepts of time and space.

It was hidden within a speck of cosmic dust, floating in the boundless starry sky; even the most Supreme beings in the world could not discover the existence of this world of light.

"Am I not dead?"

On this day, inside this special world of light, a large grave cracked open. A fair, slender male hand reached out from within, and soon after, a young man with disheveled hair struggled, pushing aside the clods of earth on the grave, and climbed out from underground.

"Where is this?"

The young man stood on the grave, the surrounding light stinging his eyes so much that he couldn't open them. It wasn't until a long while later that he gradually adapted to the omnipresent brilliance.

Afterward, his gaze shifted from confusion to a shock that emanated from within.

Because, standing before him, a Figure in Golden Armor stood silently, watching him with great calmness.

"You're awake," the Figure in Golden Armor spoke first.

"You are..." Lin Yang's pupils trembled.

"This should be our first time meeting in this form. Let me introduce myself: I am the Incarnation of the primordial heavenly dao of this Universe, which is the System that has been following you," the Figure in Golden Armor said.

"You are the System!?"

Lin Yang was shocked to hear this, but for some reason, he also felt a sense of realization that it was only natural.

"Didn't I die?" Amidst his shock, Lin Yang asked, puzzled.

"You did indeed die, killed by the joint efforts of three Eerie Venerable Lords! Your Primordial Spirit was extinguished!" the Figure in Golden Armor said.

"Then how did I... Did you resurrect me?" Lin Yang looked at the Figure in Golden Armor; he remembered the System had such an ability.

But immediately after, he saw the Figure in Golden Armor shake its head.

"You didn't resurrect me? Then how did I come back to life?" Lin Yang asked, feeling strange.

"Because you still have ninety percent of your lifespan with me. What died out there was only ten percent of your lifespan," the Figure in Golden Armor continued.

Lin Yang: "..."

Lin Yang remained silent, recalling for a long while before suddenly coming to a realization.

He remembered that a long time ago, when the System first appeared to help him with his Reincarnation, it had said that it would sacrifice ninety percent of his next life's lifespan as the price for living again.

"So it was back then..."

Lin Yang looked at the Figure in Golden Armor before him, his eyes flickering slightly. Could it be that the Figure in Golden Armor had foreseen today back then?

"Then why go to such great lengths to arrange for my resurrection? What is your intention?" Lin Yang had too many questions in his heart.

"The Weirdness deduced your existence, so I arranged for you to fake your death," the Figure in Golden Armor said concisely.

"It's that simple?" Lin Yang was surprised.

"Yes."

The Figure in Golden Armor nodded slightly. Without waiting for Lin Yang to continue asking, it raised its hand and waved, and suddenly a huge screen of light appeared before Lin Yang.

In the light screen was a scene of fragmentation.

Countless star fragments floated in the Universe, pitch black, devoid of life. Darkness and desolation were devouring everything visible to the naked eye.

"This is..."

Seeing this, Lin Yang's expression changed drastically. Among those cosmic dust particles, he discovered some star fragments of Lingxiao Heaven.

Clearly, during the time he had died and been resurrected, Lingxiao Heaven had been breached.

"Have the Nine Heavens been wiped out?" Lin Yang asked with a trembling voice.

"Not yet. Only the last Wuliang Heaven is still struggling to hold on," the Figure in Golden Armor replied.

As the voice fell, the scene on the light screen changed, gradually reflecting the situation within the entire Wuliang Heaven.

"Xueli, Shiya, Aili..."

In the light screen, Lin Yang saw some familiar figures; Nangong Xueli, Li Shiya, Aili, Shen Youchu, and others were all among them.

This at least allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

He was truly afraid that when he woke up, the Nine Heavens would have been wiped out, and the familiar figures would have all turned into mounds of dirt.

But as the scene within the light screen gradually expanded to outside Wuliang Heaven, swaths of black shadows appeared, causing Lin Yang's expression to tighten again.

Because, outside Wuliang Heaven at this moment, an unknown number of powerful Weird beings were gathering, so many that they were countless.

And in that invisible Void Realm, there were several extremely obscure and terrifying fluctuations.

Those were Eerie Venerable Lords!

More than one!

The Weird army had completely surrounded Wuliang Heaven!

"I must go back!"

Lin Yang could not stand by and watch them die; he wanted to go back immediately to provide support.

However, he soon discovered that the space he was currently in was very special; it was filled with light everywhere, as if it were a world of its own, and he couldn't find a way out at all.

He turned back to look at the Figure in Golden Armor, which was also looking at him: "What good will it do to go back now? There are thirteen Eerie Venerable Lords; how many can you handle?"

The voice was cold and ruthless, but it hit the nail on the head.

Going back now would be of no use to Lin Yang; other than dying again, it would serve no purpose.

"Then what about you? Since you are the primordial heavenly dao of this Universe, you should be able to easily handle these guys outside, right?" Lin Yang looked at the Figure in Golden Armor, a glimmer of hope appearing in his eyes.

If the Heavenly Dao itself were willing to act...

But facing Lin Yang's request, the Figure in Golden Armor shook its head indifferently.

"Someone should have told you that the primordial heavenly dao of this Universe has already... fallen."
