Chapter 1124 - 1030: The Cycle of Rebirth Authority Appears
Grey Mist Sea.
The situation on the battlefield was heavily one-sided.
At the peak of the battle, the true ancestors of the Grey Mist Sea could no longer hold on, as they fell one after another, being executed in succession.
In the blink of an eye, almost all were slaughtered.
And in the great war among the common people of the world, the Grey Mist Sea was also losing ground, with two-thirds of its territory already flattened!
— To the Grey Mist Sea, the true ancestors were their faith; now that the true ancestors had fallen, the armies of the various Grey Mist Sea races simply had no heart to continue fighting.
Moreover, dominant forces like overlords were now overwhelmed as well. During the fierce battle, figures like Fire Spirit, Mu Qianning, and Changsun Bumie had successively broken through to the overlord level, leaving them with no advantage whatsoever.
“Run, run quickly, we’re done for in this life.”
“There’s no point in fighting anymore, let’s surrender!”
“Surrender… The problem is that the enemy doesn’t accept our surrender at all!”
The Grey Mist Sea army completely collapsed.
They threw away their helmets and armor, shattered into pieces, and fled towards all corners of the Grey Mist Sea.
“Kill!”
“Leave none alive!”
Warriors from the Ancestral Mist Realm, like Chi Tiangang and others, called out.
They divided their forces to pursue the fleeing Grey Mist Sea army.
…
“I surrender, don’t kill me!”
Even the few remaining true ancestors had now given up resistance and were directly begging for mercy!
“We’ll do anything…”
“Just spare us a route to live…”
They pleaded.
Yet Wu Dade replied:
“Anything at all, you say?”
“Then go back to the village and cook!”
The fate of these true ancestors was thus abruptly sealed.
…
In the blink of an eye, the skies above the Grey Mist Sea were completely calm.
Nan Feng, Zi Ling, Long Zixuan, and others were all recuperating.
This was a tough battle, far from easy.
Facing the true ancestors, massive in their stature, they had exerted their utmost efforts.
The current Grey Mist Sea was now a scene of desolation.
The atmosphere between heaven and earth was chaotically surging, Grey Mist Origin Qi scattering wildly, far from recovered, and extremely sparse. The endless lands of the Grey Mist Sea were filled with ruins; entire mountain ranges had been leveled, and the waters had dried up.
The Grey Mist Sea had almost been shattered.
“Is it over?”
Dugu Yuqing asked.
“Should we… be able to go back to the village for a feast now?”
Lu Rang’s face was filled with anticipation.
And Yun Xi had also emerged from the void at this moment.
Just before, it was she who had cut off the escape paths of those true ancestors, trapping them to die on this battlefield.
“Eh, Sister Yunxi, you’ve also reached the Four Sights?”
Zi Ling’s eyes were full of confusion.
Yun Xi hadn’t joined in the battle, nor had she died, and the sorrows of past lives had not emerged…
“How did you experience the Four Sights?”
“Sister Yunxi, what did you see during your Four Sights?”
Others were also curiously asking.
In her past life, Yun Xi was the End of Myriad Dao – heavily laden with karma. Her Four Sights… were likely to be anything but ordinary.
Yet Yin Xi replied, seemingly perplexed:
“I… didn’t see anything.”
“I saw that you all had the Four Sights, so I also tried to challenge the Four Sights, but saw nothing… and then I finished the path of the Four Sights.”
Upon hearing this, Nan Feng and the others were somewhat astonished.
Saw nothing?
The Four Sights… one would experience the stages of Encounter with Ghosts, Encounter with Immortals, Encounter with Saints, and Encounter with Gods.
They would see the shadows left behind by the most powerful beings of the ages.
People like Nan Feng, for example, were somewhat special since the powerful shadows and sorrows they encountered were those left by themselves.
Whereas the Big Black Dog spoke in a low murmur:
“The path beyond The End of Myriad Paths, no ghost can obstruct, no immortal can be seen, no saint can be perceived, no god can be beheld… Truly twisted…”
Hearing this, a group of Disciples finally understood…
This meant that for Sister Yunxi, the Four Sights were… not even considered realms; she had already passed them directly.
“This is… too depressingly overwhelming.”
Dugu Yuqing grew melancholic.
“Indeed, I really feel like beating someone up to vent my frustration.”
Qing Chen also spoke up.
Their expressions were all complex.
But Wu Dade voiced his confusion: “Dead Dog, you said no immortal can be seen, no saint can be perceived, no god can be beheld… Then what about Master?”
Big Black Dog immediately showed deep disdain in his doggy eyes and said:
“Ignorant Human Pet, do you compare immortals, saints, and gods to Master?”
“Where’s your brain?”
Wu Dade: “…”
At this time, The End of Myriad Paths slowly spoke up:
“The Grey Mist Origin Qi of the Grey Mist Sea, comes from the Forbidden Ancient Path.”
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and listened intently.
“The Forbidden Ancient Path, as its name implies, leads to the forbidden… But as for what it’s like on the other side of this path, I have no idea.”
She was just a thought left behind before her true self entered the world on the other side of the path, so she knew nothing about it.
“Years past, I caught a glimpse of the future where in this life, Samsara shall be rebuilt, hence a thought was left behind.”
“And the Forbidden Ancient Path is key to the rebuilding of Samsara.”
Upon hearing this, everyone took on a solemn countenance.
“What needs to be done for Samsara’s rebuilding?”
The End of Myriad Paths said:
“Transform the Grey Mist Sea, and even the Forbidden Ancient Path, into the White Mist World,”
“Additionally, it’s necessary to find the scattered Cycle of Rebirth Authority.”
Nan Feng said:
“So this means that we need to make a journey to the Forbidden Ancient Path, find a way to change the source of the gray mist, so as to transform the Grey Mist Sea into the White Mist World.”
Yun Xi then said:
“The Cycle of Rebirth Authority… Is it scattered on the Forbidden Ancient Path?”
The End of Myriad Paths said:
“I’m not certain, but it should be.”
“The destruction of Samsara, the authority of Samsara, was supposed to return to the Ancestral Mist Realm, for that’s where Samsara was truly born. But now, neither the Ancestral Mist Realm nor the Grey Mist Sea nor The Land Near the Forbidden have the Cycle of Rebirth Authority… The only possibility is that it was intercepted on the Forbidden Ancient Path.”
“Whoever intercepted the Cycle of Rebirth Authority… indeed amounts to quite a character.”
Upon hearing this, Nan Feng and the others felt a shudder.
What The End of Myriad Paths disclosed gave them a clear understanding of all that happened in the past.
Samsara originated from the Ancestral Mist Realm… without a doubt, it began with the Master.
Later, when Master ascended the Path to quell chaos, Samsara on the source side got shattered, the authority supposed to return to the Ancestral Mist Realm, but somehow got intercepted on the Forbidden Ancient Path…
Also, because of the collapse of Samsara, Ghostly Beings escaped from it, wreaking havoc across the heavens.
“Is the one who intercepted Samsara the same individual as the dark hand from back then?”
They all speculated.
Back then, Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones stepped onto the Forbidden Ancient Path, but were suppressed by the dark hand.
“Where is the Forbidden Ancient Path?”
They asked.
The End of Myriad Paths then indifferently said:
“It has arrived.”
She looked in a certain direction.
Everyone also looked up.
They saw a path from the Youming, extending from the depths of infinity, enveloping the qi of Samsara.
When that path of Youming appeared, the eight desolate time-spaces seemed as if wicked ghosts were cycling through Samsara, souls undergoing transmigration – that was the power of Samsara!
“That path of Youming comes from the Forbidden Ancient Path.”
The End of Myriad Paths began to speak:
“Now it seems, the Cycle of Rebirth Authority is indeed on the Forbidden Ancient Path, and moreover, someone has already started to exert some initial control over it.”
“The person who seized the Cycle of Rebirth Authority back then… is now also attempting to control Samsara…”
And that terrifying path of Youming crossed the spatial distances at an incomparable speed, swiftly reaching the Grey Mist Sea.
On that path of Youming, a voice of authority roared:
“The End of Myriad Paths must enter Samsara, be utterly destroyed in this life!”
