Chapter 1225 - 1116: Flame Universe Array
A pitch-dark land from an unknown location.
In the darkness, the Secret Eye of Darkness quietly bloomed, seemingly receiving some information.
“A Heaven Ghost sneaking around, if there’s any news, just share it…”
The being on the Dark Throne spoke languidly.
But, the Secret Eye of Darkness quickly vanished, and in the darkness, the voice of the Black Spirit came, saying:
“There’s no news.”
“You just go back to sleep.”
After that, the Black Spirit disappeared into this darkness.
The being on the Dark Throne let out a resigned laugh, saying:
“Sleep, huh…”
“Previously, you clearly wanted to test my other body, and now you are quite afraid… hehe, did you learn some astonishing truth from the person behind you…”
The being on the Dark Throne murmured to himself, saying:
“Caught in the midst of it all, I can’t remember much, unable to grasp the full picture of this situation… It’s truly agonizing. You’re right, just sleep on it, no need to bother so much, just wait…”
…
The Black Spirit transformed into a humanoid black smoke and appeared before a pitch-black door.
“Reporting to my master, the two Rotten Slaves that I sent… are already dead.”
“The ancestral aura on them has disappeared.”
The Black Spirit spoke while kneeling.
On the pitch-dark door, the Secret Force circulated, and a voice responded already:
“I sensed it.”
“Those two ancestral auras… were left by my Ancestor of the past years, it would only genuinely appear if they encountered my Ancestor, and now that they’ve disappeared… they must have been absorbed by my Ancestor.”
This voice seemed to carry a hint of excitement, saying:
“The Lamp of Darkness, my Ancestor must have obtained it too… The Ancestor can utilize it to resurrect, activating the sealed Origin of Darkness!”
“Go, find the next Lamp of Origin, ignite the Flame of Darkness, if things can develop as we desire… then those ancestors suppressed and sealed will all awaken again, as long as they obtain the Lamp of Darkness, they can set up the Flame Universe Array, to repress that other body!”
“During this time, you must not let the being on the Dark Throne test his other body… Just let him remain a Mortal, that’s enough.”
“Regardless of truth or falsehood! As long as he believes he is still a Mortal, it means… he hasn’t awakened yet.”
Upon hearing this, the Black Spirit was greatly shocked.
It felt that the grand scheme of eternity was gradually beginning to unfold…
And about this eternal grand scheme, it vaguely gained some understanding:
The one on the Dark Throne had once repressed a group of top powerhouses behind that door, brought them here, and sealed them.
Those top powerhouses are the “Ancestors” sought behind that door.
And those Ancestors are the hope of ultimately vanquishing the person on the Dark Throne.
As long as the Lamp of Darkness is delivered to these “Ancestors”, they will awaken, and restart the dreadful “Flame Universe Array”…
“Black Spirit understands, Black Spirit will do it now!”
He immediately spoke, and then, he left.
After the Black Spirit had left, this pitch-black door still did not disappear; within it, a faint voice could be heard:
“Are you sure… those Ancestors are still our familiar Ancestors of Darkness…”
This voice belonged to another being.
“Not sure.”
The one who had just spoken with the Black Spirit responded, saying:
“Back then, they were meant to use the Flame Universe Array to Repress that person, but an accident occurred, and he Repressed them instead, and then the Divine Jumper took them away…”
“The worst scenario now is that their Origin of Darkness might have already been obliterated.”
Another being whispered:
“No, that is not the worst scenario… What if their origin has transformed into the White Mist Origin, and now they have obtained the Lamp of Origin, do you know what would happen?”
The being who had been speaking to the Black Spirit said:
“With White Mist as fuel, the Flame of Darkness burning at this moment will transform within the White Mist, becoming the Flame of White Mist…”
Another being said solemnly:
“Back then, that person was willing to sacrifice himself, just to ignite the Flame of White Mist, creating rules in that world that could devour darkness, turning it into a Pure Land of Life…”
“If the Flame of White Mist is reignited now, what meaning does everything we did back then hold? Even if that person does not awaken, the Flame of White Mist would still be burning!”
“Even more, have you considered that this might exactly be the Divine Jumper’s strategy? He saved that person and then swapped with the ancestors who had their origins changed to light the fire… Perhaps this is exactly his contingency plan!”
“Moreover, don’t forget, that Divine Jumper has tricks up his sleeves. Before taking the Ascendant Path, he concealed his Three Souls and Seven Spirits, and we still haven’t found them up to this day…”
In this speech, there seemed to be a deep wariness of the Divine Jumper.
The being who had been speaking to the Black Spirit said:
“Exactly… that’s why we need to give it a try, isn’t it?”
“If this first lamp really transforms from the Flame of Darkness into the Flame of White Mist, it means that the ancestors have truly had their origins replaced, and they are no longer the beings we imagined…”
“If that’s indeed the case, what we need to do… is to spare no expense to take away and destroy the other lamps, as long as the twelve lamps do not collectively light up the Flame of White Mist, there will be no threat to the darkness!”
“But what if… the ancestors are still the Ancestors of Darkness?”
“The only one who could suppress the ancestors is that person alone, and the Divine Jumper making the Origin of Darkness Ancestors more susceptible is nearly impossible…”
“We can gamble that the ancestors are still the Ancestors of Darkness, and after obtaining the Flame of Darkness, they might awaken!”
This voice carried a great expectation, saying:
“That person has reached a point where he cannot be killed, and we even dare not touch the people around him; even if we exterminate all life in the world and return everything to the universal primordial law, he has already leaped out of this river flow, becoming the one that got away.”
“…But if the ancestors awake, the Flame Universe Array still holds hope…”
“Then he might just die!”
Upon hearing this, the other being also fell silent for a very long while before whispering:
“Back then, when the Flame Universe Array went awry, many ancestors were Repressed by him and taken away…”
“He seized the Dark Origin, together with his own White Mist Origin, they forged the twelve Lamps of Origin, as long as they burn for an epoch, that world would be completely transformed into a Pure Land of Life…”
“The appearance of the Divine Jumper extinguished those lamps… and he re-emerged.”
“…The Dark Firmament intended to eradicate that realm all in one go, and those Forebears who ignited the flames also perished… but he intervened, fortunately, the person he cares most about is in our hands…”
“We didn’t disturb those he cares about, he isolated himself, detached from worldly affairs, not igniting the Flame of White Mist… This is a fragile balance.”
“But his existence, ultimately violates the universe’s primordial law, and thus must be executed…”
“The Flame Universe Array indeed remains the only hope to eradicate him… indeed worth trying!”
“Now, let us witness… if the Lamps of Origin end up in the ancestors’ hands, and the Flame of Darkness continues to burn, activating the Ancestors of Darkness’ origin, then there is hope to set up the Flame Universe Array, summon the power of the Dark Firmament, and annihilate his last trace.”
“If the Flame of Darkness twists into the Flame of White Mist, it clearly implies that the Divine Jumper indeed interfered, transforming our ancestors into White Mist Beings, and furthermore, intending to use the White Mist Ancestors to replace that person in death, to ignite the Flame of White Mist…”
“Given the nature of the Divine Jumper… I always feel… the latter possibility is more likely… after all, that scoundrel, using such schemes to kill our ancestors, is quite typical of him…”
The voice previously conversing with the Black Spirit chuckled and said:
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Even if it’s true, the Divine Jumper is only on the first layer, while we are on the second layer, and breaking his scheme is simple.”
The pitch-black door silently vanished, as if it never existed.

Good night
