Chapter 1813: The Great Feat of Reconstructing the World
Xia Zhengrong asked curiously, âWhoâs worthy of Mr. Seventh waiting for him or her?â
Si Wuya smiled and said, âA very important person whoâs related to the future of mankind and heaven and earth.â
Xia Zhengrong suppressed his curiosity before he asked, âBut didnât you say that if we donât suppress the power of the earth, the nine domains might collapse as well when the Great Void falls?â
The fall of the sky would affect the earth as well, after all. To protect the earth, they could only rely on the Heaven Suppressing Pestles.
At this moment, a burst of laughter rang in the air before a voice said, âXia Zhengrong, you donât have to worry about this! Just listen to Mr. Seventh!â
Xia Zhengrong turned and saw that it was Xiao Yunhe, the former Tower Master of the Black Council Tower. He nodded.
The grudge between the duo had been settled after hundreds of years had passed. The grudge had long been reduced to dust. Moreover, even if the grudge was not resolved, faced with the survival of mankind, they still knew how to prioritize and distinguish between right and wrong.
Si Wuya looked at Xiao Yunhe and asked, âHowâs the front line?â
âEverythingâs going well. But itâs war so itâs hard to avoid bloodshed,â Xiao Yunhe said. At the same time, he casually waved his hand.
A talisman lit up before a projection appeared in the air. Although the projection was a little unstable, one could still see what was going on. It would likely be impossible to use runic passages now, but it was still possible to use runes on talismans to communicate.
In the projections, the human alliance was engaged in a force battle with the fierce beasts. Corpses were strewn all over the ground. It was a bloody scene.
There were veterans who experienced countless battles, and there were also rookies fighting their first war. Without exception, all of them were covered in blood.
Xiao Yunhe cut off the projection. Then, he said with a sigh, âI wonder when this will passâŠâ
......
Si Wuya said, âI believe it wonât be long.â
Si Wuya knew the duo had contributed greatly to the peace in the black lotus domain. He brought out a talisman.
The first projection showed the first disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion, Yu Zhenghai, in Fengâan, the eastern capital of the twin lotus domain. The first disciple of Autumn Dew Mountain, Hua Yin, was with him. The duo stood on a mountain of corpses as they looked ahead. At the back, there was an incomparably huge pillar; it was the Heaven Suppressing Pestle. It was slowly sinking into the ground at this moment.
Xiao Yun exclaimed in admiration, âMr. First is brave and strong. The Heaven Suppressing Pestle has already begun to suppress the power of the earth thereâŠâ
The second projection showed Yu Shangrong in Luo Yang, the western capital of the twin lotus domain. He was killing hundreds of thousands of fierce beasts as the Longevity Sword in his hand released countless red energy swords. The Heaven Suppressing Pestle had also successfully entered the earth.
Xiao Yunhe said again, âMr. Second is just like a walking divine weapon.â
Si Wuya nodded as he said, âThese are the projections from Fengâan and Luo Yang, the eastern and western capitals of the twin lotus domains. The local historians have already begun to record this.â Then, he said as though he was reciting something he had read, âIn the 45th year of the reign of Emperor Wen of Great Han, mankind encountered a never-seen-before disaster in 100,000 years. A divine figure descended from the sky, holding the Heaven Suppressing Pestle. He slaughtered millions of fierce beasts and suppressed the power of the earth.â
Xia Zhengrong was stunned. Then, he asked, âWhat about the others?â
Si Wuya said, âIâve only received messages.â Then, he looked at the scenery outside the tower as he said with a smile, âEighth Junior Brother and Jian Bing have already suppressed the power of the earth in the yellow lotus domain. Fifth Senior Sister quickly completed the mission and has returned to the golden lotus domain. Sixth Senior Sister and Holy Maiden Xihe are also finishing up at the white lotus domain. Third Senior Brother has the help of Ying Long so thereâs no need to worry about the red lotus domain. Just an hour ago, Junior Sister Conch has successfully suppressed the power of the earth in the green lotus domain.â
Xia Zhengrong and Xiao Yunhe nodded as they listened to Si Wuya.
Xiao Yunhe said, âJust words describing the other disciples alone arenât as domineering as watching Mr. First and Mr. Second in action.â
They laughed.
Then, Xia Zhengrong sighed and said in a low voice, âTo be honest, when Senior Lu broke the 3,000 runes on my black tower, I hated him for a long time. At that time, I thought that I had to cultivate harder so I could seek revenge from him. For 100 years, I cultivated diligently, but I learned later that he and the Evil Sky Pavilion were an existence that terrifies even the Great Void.â
Xiao Yunhe rolled his eyes and said, âYou couldnât even defeat me, but you thought about seeking revenge from Pavilion Master Lu?â
âWell, I really hated himâŠâ Xia Zhengrong said sheepishly.
Si Wuya turned and asked, âWhat about now?â
Xia Zhengrong said, âHow can I still hate him now? All thatâs left is respect. I donât have Pavilion Master Luâs strength nor do I have the courage of his ten disciples. I can only hide in the black tower and be a leader of a small place. If I were in his shoes, and someone tells me that the sky is going to collapse, my first choice wouldâve been to escapeâŠâ After a pause, he added, âIn hindsight, that 100 years of stupidity really woke me upâŠâ
The trio chuckled.
âMr. Seventh, the power of the earth in the purple lotus domain and the black lotus domain has yet to be suppressed. Isnât it still dangerous?â Xiao Yunhe asked.
Si Wuya replied, âDonât worry. Everything is under control. According to the time, my master should be on his way to the Sacred Region now.â
âPavilion Master Lu is the strongest person in the world. If he can suppress Ming Xin, the world will be fine,â Xia Zhengrong said, brimming with anticipation.
As soon as Xia Zhengrongâs voice fellâŠ
Buzz!
The familiar sound of energy resonance rang in the air.
The fluctuation of energy was extremely intense.
Xia Zhengrong and Xiao Yunhe were both shocked. They were about to make a move when Si Wuya stopped them.
Si Wuya smiled faintly and said in a soft voice, âHeâs here.â
âWhat?â
âBoth of you, stand aside,â Si Wuya said. Then, he patted their shoulders and said, âDonât worry.â
Due to their trust in Si Wuya, the duo nodded and whispered to him to be careful before they turned around and walked a distance away.
Si Wuya looked in the direction where the energy was fluctuating.
The wind at the top of the black tower was unusually cool.
The dark sky made people feel gloomy, but it did not affect Si Wuyaâs mood at all.
As expected, the newcomer quickly located Si Wuyaâs location. In just a few breaths, a figure appeared in front of Si Wuya. The translucent figure slowly solidified, revealing Ming Xin, who was dressed in a long robe and standing with his hands on his back. His body glowed with a faint light as well. His aura alone greatly pressured all of the cultivators in the Black Tower Council. With just a light stomp of his foot, the black tower, which was known as the place where experts gathered in the black lotus domain, would be destroyed.
When Ming Xin saw how calm Si Wuya was, he was very surprised.
Before Ming Xin spoke, Si Wuya called out, âGreetings, Great Emperor.â
Ming Xin landed next to Si Wuya and asked, âYou knew that I was coming to look for you?â
Si Wuya nodded and smiled. âMy instincts told me youâll definitely come looking for me.â
Ming Xin looked into the distance and said with a sigh, âSince ancient times, people as confident as you never had a good ending.â
âThatâs not important,â Si Wuya said with a shrug.
âMy time is limited. Youâve left the Great Void for a long time, and itâs time for you to follow me back to the Sacred Region,â Ming Xin said. He raised his hand that was glowing faintly.
Si Wuya hurriedly asked, âDo you really need the ten great laws to reconstruct the world?â
Ming Xin was slightly startled. He looked at Si Wuya and asked, âYou know about this?â
âEver since the ten disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion joined the Great Void, you donât care about anything, not even the collapse of the Pillars of Destruction. On the contrary, the only thing you cared about was us comprehending the Great Dao. The ten great laws are the foundation of the workings of the world. Apart from reconstructing the world, I really canât think of another reason,â Si Wuya said. If he was right, then Ming Xinâs previous actions all made sense.
âYouâre indeed very smart,â Ming Xin said.
The Sacred Temple ignored Tu Weiâs death, the collapse of the Dunzangâs Pillar of Destruction, and Zui Canâs death. Ming Xin only wanted the ten owners of the Great Void Seeds to comprehend the Great Dao. Other matters were not important compared to reconstructing the world. By reconstructing the world, one would be able to preserve oneâs life. What was more important than that?
Si Wuya said calmly, âI admire Your Majesty for having such a lofty goal. Alas, your plan is going to be ruined.â
Ming Xin asked, âHow many years have you lived? What gave you the confidence?â
âJust facts,â Si Wuya replied.
âI thought you were smart. Even if you donât have great wisdom, you should be able to understand the nature of the world. The âtruthâ you see is probably just the small piece of sky youâre seeing at the bottom of the well. Qi Sheng, youâre still very young. Many things arenât as simple as you think,â Ming Xin said.
This was within Si Wuyaâs expectations. He knew that Ming Xin would definitely not listen to his reasoning. Ming Xin was a divine emperor who had lived for a long time and had also been in a high position for a very long time. It was simply wishful thinking to expect him to listen to the reasoning of a young man.
Si Wuya said, âYour Majesty, why donât I make a bet with you?â Then, without waiting for a reply, he quickly said, âIâll help you reconstruct the world to prove to you that you wonât succeed. If you fail, give up on your obsession and focus on maintaining the balance. How about it?â
Ming Xin laughed heartily upon hearing this; it was so loud that it echoed in the sky. He said, âQi Sheng, how are you going to help me?â
Ming Xin did not think he would fail at all.
Si Wuya replied, âI can promise I wonât run away, but I canât guarantee the others would do the same.â
Ming Xin did not care about this at all. He said confidently, âI couldâve done this 100,000 years ago, and I can do it 100,000 years later.â
Si Wuya said, âBut the Towers of Heaven arenât the Pillar of Destruction. Itâs not even the upper core of the Pillar of Destruction.â
Ming Xin turned and stared at Si Wuya intently. After a few seconds, he lowered his voice and asked, âVery few people know about the Tower of Heaven. How⊠How do you know?â
Si Wuya met Ming Xinâs gaze. He did answer the question. Instead, he said, âItâs a great feat to reconstruct the world; failure is inevitable. Before anything else, can Your Majesty help me suppress the power of the earth? If your plan fails, at least we still have a way out.â
Then, Si Wuya brought the Heaven Suppressing Pestle out and looked at Ming Xin.
Ming Xin was not angry. Instead, he sighed and said, âBack then, when the Four Supremes followed me, I promised them a lifetime of wealth and power. I gave them what Grand Mystic Mountain couldnât give themâŠâ
âSome things become meaningless after a certain pointâŠâ Si Wuya commented.
Ming Xin asked, âThen, what did you give Guan Jiu? Material things? Power? Or supreme cultivation?â
Si Wuya shook his head and said, âI canât give him those things. I only gave him⊠peace of mindâŠâ
Ming Xin shook his head as well and said, âPeople come and go all the time. If it will make him feel at ease, then Iâll let him go.â
Si Wuya was slightly surprised by these words. He said, âThe Great Emperorâs magnanimity is admirable.â
