Chapter 1565 Night Ancestor Appears
Wang Xian gazed at the miniature universe in his palm, where the power of the four constitutions flowed in an orderly manner, the chaotic energy nourished the movement of the stars, and the laws of spacetime bound the threads of cause and effect. Every breath he took stirred up the energy tides between heaven and earth.
Wang Xian tried to mobilize his power, his fingertips tracing across the void, and the chaotic air currents tore open a miniature black hole, which was then smoothed out by the power of the Star Body.
With a slight thought, the flow of time around him slowed down by half a beat, and the threads in the river of fate that were connected to him trembled as well.
Just as Wang Xian was gradually mastering this newfound power, a tremor from the depths of his soul suddenly exploded—it was not the joy of a breakthrough, but a chilling cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave, as if an invisible giant axe was hanging above his head, ready to strike at any moment.
"what happened?"
Wang Xian suddenly looked up, and the four statues of gods trembled violently.
The Chaos Statue spewed out chaotic energy, the pointer of the Time and Space Statue spun wildly backward, the star map of the Star Statue flickered, and a tiny crack appeared between the brows of the Destiny Statue on the far right!
The moment the crack appeared, the river of fate behind Wang Xian suddenly surged with huge waves. The threads of cause and effect in the river were tangled like a mess of hemp. The once clear future water mirror shattered one after another, and countless distorted images were reflected in the fragments: some of Su Qingyan turned into withered bones, some of Yan Yangjun became puppets, some of the three immoral Taoists were crushed into ashes... All the trajectories of fate related to him were collapsing at a terrifying speed.
"Click——"
Before Wang Xian could use his power to repair it, the cracks on the statue of destiny suddenly spread, covering the entire body like a spider web.
The runes on the surface of the statue went out one after another, the light band representing "variables" broke inch by inch, and finally collapsed with a crisp cracking sound, turning into countless points of light and dissipating.
"puff!"
The moment the statue collapsed, Wang Xian suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood fell to the ground and transformed into countless tiny causal threads, the ends of which connected to countless blurry phantoms, only to vanish the instant they touched the air.
At the same time, the River of Destiny behind Wang Xian went completely out of control. The golden river surged back into the sky, breaking down the barrier formed by the spatial anomaly, disrupting the flow of chaotic energy, and even staining the starlight drawn by the celestial body with blood.
The strange phenomena caused by the chaos of fate also spread.
In the 'Eternal Universe', countless beings suddenly find their destinies becoming blurred—the extremely hard bottlenecks of cultivators inexplicably loosen, the destinies of mortals that should be rich and noble suddenly become poor and lowly, and the cubs in the bellies of ferocious beasts are born with intelligence ahead of schedule.
Even more bizarrely, phantom images of beings who had long since died began to appear in various places. They repeated the last actions they had performed in life, but their eyes were empty, as if they were puppets controlled by an invisible force.
Above the Hongmeng Mountains, the waters of the River of Destiny poured down, falling into the chaotic air currents and stirring up vast "vortexes of destiny".
The vortex sometimes reveals a prosperous future, and sometimes it reveals a desolate ruin of destruction. The spacetime fragments sucked into it are twisted into various shapes and release heart-palpitating fluctuations of law.
Wang Xian's sea of consciousness was like a lake surface tossed with a giant rock, and his soul was subjected to an unprecedented shock.
He could sense that his causal connections with many people were rapidly weakening, and even the immortal lotus in his inner world was experiencing an uneasy tremor.
"We cannot allow the Destiny Entity to completely collapse!"
Wang Xian gritted his teeth and forcibly stabilized his churning blood and qi.
Just then, the three divine statues of Chaos, Time and Space, and Stars in the sea of consciousness suddenly burst forth with brilliant light. As if sensing the danger of their companion, they took the initiative to tear off a wisp of their primordial power, which transformed into three streams of light and rushed toward the location where the Destiny Body collapsed.
The primordial chaos transformed into a hazy current of energy, and wherever it passed, the shattered points of destiny were re-coalesced, forming a chaotic "embryo of destiny."
The origin of time and space condensed into a bronze pointer. As the pointer turned, the reversed river of fate began to slowly straighten, and the disordered lines of cause and effect were re-sorted out.
The origin of the stars disperses into billions of stardust, which adheres to the surface of the embryo, forming new star patterns and stabilizing the embryo's shape.
When the chaotic energy merges with the embryo of destiny, countless points of light representing "possibilities" are born, each representing a completely new trajectory of destiny.
With each rotation of the spacetime pointer, the embryo solidifies a little more. The surrounding time flow sometimes accelerates a hundredfold, causing the embryo to undergo thousands of evolutions in an instant, and sometimes slows down ten thousandfold, meticulously refining every pattern of the laws.
The star map formed from the origin of the stars continuously absorbs the power of the heavens and earth, building an indestructible protective barrier around the embryo.
The infusion of three primal forces gradually calmed the turbulence of the river of fate, but new anomalies were born in the process.
In the night sky of the 'Eternal Universe', countless 'Fate Star Trails' suddenly appeared, intertwining into a net that covered the entire sky.
Creatures living in different regions can all see their own path in the star trails, but the star trails are full of forks, each leading to a completely different future.
Beyond the boundaries of the 'Eternal Universe', powerful beings from all realms are experiencing a fear that originates from the depths of their souls.
"Fate...how could fate have gotten so chaotic? This is impossible!"
A powerful expert at the 'Heavenly Emperor' level roared angrily.
On the obsidian throne, the Demon Lord's composure had vanished. He stared intently at the golden turbulence in the magic mirror, the demonic energy at his fingertips dissipating uncontrollably: "The causal threads are all severed... all future trajectories have become a fog... what kind of power is this?"
On the altar of the ancient realm, more than a dozen old men dressed in ancient Taoist robes simultaneously spat out blood. The star chart in front of them shattered completely, and the fragments no longer reflected the movement of stars, but an endless darkness.
"Is it the punishment of the Dao? Or... has a being from a higher realm intervened?"
The white-bearded old man's voice was filled with fear, and his eyes were filled with despair.
At that moment, all the powerful beings focused their gaze on one place—above the 'Eternal Universe'.
There, in the void of darkness, an enormous eye suddenly opened.
This eye has no pupil, only a pure gray-white, yet it seems to reflect everything in the universe.
It contains no emotion whatsoever; there is neither anger nor joy, only a detached indifference as if looking down upon ants.
And in the center of its 'line of vision', Wang Xian, who was repairing his destiny body in the Hongmeng Mountains, was clearly reflected!
"what is that?!"
Even the voice of a 'Heavenly Emperor' level expert changed. He could feel that when that eye's gaze swept over him, his laws were groaning, as if they could be completely erased at any moment.
The Demon Lord's face turned deathly pale. The demonic energy within him surged wildly, yet he didn't even have the courage to approach the eye: "No fluctuations of laws... no energy aura... it's like..."
The old Taoist priests all knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly in the direction of the eye, chanting incantations, but no one could understand what they were saying.
Fear spread like a plague outside the boundary of the 'Eternal Universe'. All the powerful felt a chill run through their bodies, as if they would be completely obliterated by that eye at any moment.
Meanwhile, in the Hongmeng Mountains, the repair of the Destiny Entity is nearing completion.
The three primordial forces of chaos, spacetime, and stars completely merged with the embryo of destiny, forming a brand new statue of destiny.
This statue is more solid than before, with patterns on its surface that contain both the primordial chaos and the brilliance of stars. A miniature time pointer floats between its brows, exuding a mysterious aura that is both stable and full of variables.
"It's done!" Wang Xian was overjoyed. Just as he was about to experience the repaired Destiny Body, the giant eye outside the boundary wall suddenly moved.
It made no sound, but its gaze fixed on Wang Xian narrowed slightly.
In an instant, the vast expanse of time appeared above the Hongmeng Mountains.
From the chaotic scene at the beginning of the universe to the battles between ancient gods and demons, and then to the rise of cultivators in modern times... countless historical fragments emerge like a tide, only to vanish in an instant.
Space and time were completely disrupted. The immortal tree outside the cave sometimes turned into a sapling and sometimes into a withered tree, repeatedly experiencing the cycle of life and death.
The divine sun and divine moon appeared in the sky at the same time, but disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by endless stars.
A biting chill rose from the earth, while scalding rain fell from the sky.
The ferocious beasts became as docile as sheep, while the once gentle spirit deer grew fangs and let out bloodthirsty roars.
An indescribable, terrifying power surged from the void, transforming into a pillar of light that pierced through eternity. The pillar contained the laws of 'ending' and 'nothingness,' and wherever it passed, chaotic air currents and starlight were completely erased, and even space itself was dissolving.
"boom--!"
The beam of light pierced through the boundary of the 'Eternal Universe' without any hindrance, creating a huge hole in the boundary. The law barrier surrounding the hole shattered like broken glass, emitting a piercing wail.
The entire 'Eternal Universe' trembled, as if mourning its impending destruction.
Locked onto by the beam of light, Wang Xian felt an unprecedented despair.
He tried to use the power of the Chaos Body to defend himself, but found that his body was completely immobile; he tried to use the ability of the Spacetime Body to teleport, but found that the surrounding spacetime had already been completely locked; he tried to use the power of the Astral Body to draw upon the power of the stars, but found that the light of the stars was no match for the pillar of light.
"No!"
Wang Xian's eyes were filled with resentment.
How could he die here?
As the beam of light drew closer, he could even feel his soul beginning to dissipate.
Just then, the entire 'Eternal Universe' suddenly fell into darkness.
The daytime was instantly replaced by endless night; the light of the sun, moon, and stars disappeared, and only pure darkness enveloped everything.
In the darkness, a blurry figure slowly emerged.
He was a Taoist priest, dressed in a simple gray robe, holding a dim oil lamp in his hand. The lamp's light could only illuminate a three-foot radius around him, yet it seemed to be able to withstand all the light in the world.
He walked step by step toward the sky, his pace seemingly slow, yet each step traversed an endless distance, as if each step was at the end of time.
The moment Wang Xian saw this figure, his eyes lit up with unbelievable joy: "Night Ancestor!"
The true ancestor of the Dao Clan, the Night Ancestor who controls the 'Law of Night'!
Ye Zu did not look at Wang Xian; his gaze remained fixed on the enormous eye outside the boundary wall.
When he reached the center of the sky, he slowly raised the hand holding the oil lamp.
Night is falling!
A calm voice rang out in the darkness, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
As his words fell, the darkness of the 'Eternal Universe' began to surge, transforming into black torrents that rushed towards the holes in the boundary wall.
The black torrent collided with the pillar of light that pierced the boundary wall, without a deafening roar, only silent annihilation.
The 'Ending' law within the pillar of light was constantly dissolving in the darkness, while the black torrent was also decreasing at a visible rate.
Ye Zu's figure appeared and disappeared in the darkness. The oil lamp in his hand flickered on and off. With each flicker, a large area of darkness emerged, filling the part that was melted by the beam of light.
The giant eye outside the boundary seemed to have not expected such a change, and for the first time, a slight fluctuation appeared in its gray-white 'pupil'.
It once again 'gazed' at the Night Ancestor, and countless beams of light condensed in the void, each containing even more terrifying power than before.
Ye Zu sighed softly, and the oil lamp in his hand suddenly went out.
The moment the oil lamp went out, the darkness of the 'Eternal Universe' reached its peak, so profound that even divine sense could not penetrate it.
Immediately afterwards, countless points of starlight lit up in the darkness. These starlight were not the light of stars, but 'night stars' formed by the condensation of the laws of night.
"Ye! Eat--"
The Night Ancestor's voice rang out again, and countless stars of the night suddenly erupted, transforming into a black nebula that enveloped the pillar of light and the giant eye outside the boundary wall.
Wherever the black nebula passed, it completely swallowed up everything, from pillars of light to the void, and even the light of that giant eye dimmed a bit.
The enormous eye outside the boundary wall seemed to be enraged; the void around it began to boil, and countless eyes emerged, each reflecting a different scene of destruction.
Outside the boundary, the moment countless eyes opened simultaneously, the entire Chaos Sea wailed.
Some of those eyes spewed blood-red flames capable of burning the heavens to ashes. Wherever the flames swept, even the chaotic air currents were ignited, turning into strings of burning fire meteors.
Some flow with ancient, frigid blue currents, where time and space freeze into transparent ice crystals, containing countless frozen stars.
Even more extreme, 'collapse' runes appeared directly in their pupils, and the void that their gaze swept over folded inward like paper, forming gravitational singularities that devoured everything.
"Night! Silence—"
Ye Zu's voice remained calm, yet it seemed to possess a kind of hypnotic magic.
As he finished speaking, the endless darkness within the 'Eternal Universe' suddenly became as thick as ink, and all light, energy, and even fluctuations of laws lost their medium of propagation in this darkness.
The flames, cold currents, and gravitational singularities that shot from the eyes vanished silently the moment they came into contact with the darkness, like pebbles thrown into the deep sea, without even a ripple.
