Chapter 597: Returning to an Old Haunt, Stirred by Emotion
For this era of eight thousand years ago, he was ultimately just a passerby.
Whether it was Little Su, or Little Zhou.
Eight thousand years later, when Chen Yan flipped through the historical records of the Chenping Continent, he had already known their fated endings.
And he himself had merely played his fated role within those destined conclusions, nothing more.
Now, there was only one final step left to complete his mission in this era.
That was to completely shred his last remnant of soul, and truly place the Ultimate Sage of Imperial Void's cause and effect onto the Chenping Continent of eight thousand years ago.
To plant the "Cause of Calamity."
The era of the severed path to immortality was about to arrive, and Su Hongzhen would be the last to Ascend to Immortality on the Chenping Continent before the Immortal Path revived.
At this very moment, Chen Yan still sat beneath the great tree in the Xiling Mountain Range, letting the rain beat down upon him.
This slightly cool sensation helped keep him a bit more clear-headed.
Of course he had to drive Little Su away.
Because Chen Yan knew that no one in this world could endure the pain produced when a soul was torn apart.
He couldn't let Little Su see him in such a wretched and pitiful state.
That would be far too shameful.
Since it had come time for farewell, at the very least, he should leave with dignity.
When Little Su thought of him in the future, the image that appeared in his mind would be of someone who had everything under control, someone who could shield others from wind and rain.
Not like this.
Reduced to little more than a walking corpse because of his incomplete soul.
So utterly disheveled and miserable from the searing agony of his soul being torn apart.
His consciousness seemed to be fading again, gradually blurring. Chen Yan knew this was the very end.
Thunder still roared and lightning flashed across the sky, while fierce winds howled.
The leaves on the trunk of the great tree he leaned against were wildly shaking.
Chen Yan forcibly steadied his mind, then began to activate the Secret Art that Kong Yang had left behind.
The cause and effect of the Ultimate Sage of Imperial Void began to separate from the many threads of cause and effect entwined around Chen Yan's body.
Then, a sound like something snapping suddenly rang out.
The tangled threads of cause and effect grew blurry and began to disperse.
Also growing hazy were Chen Yan's consciousness and memories.
The imprints representing everything he had experienced in the past began to crumble, then vanish.
Ultimately, they transformed into countless particles, dissipating into the chaotic flow of time.
This signified the passing of Chen Yan's final remnant of soul.
In the instant before his soul completely perished, his originally blurred spiritual sense became incredibly clear.
If only everything could end like this, how wonderful that would be.
This was Chen Yan's final thought.
