Chapter 919 - 279: You Should Go Back
"You all..."
Han Zhan looked at the scene before him, feeling a sense of unreality.
Having experienced multiple fruit worlds, Han Zhan clearly saw each saint eventually disappear without a trace.
Whether it was Fu Xi, Nuwa, the Yellow Emperor, or the Queen Mother of the West...
They had clearly vanished, so how could they appear here?
Where exactly is this place?
Questions filled Han Zhan’s mind, and he couldn’t figure it out.
"Don’t be surprised."
"I said we would meet again."
A figure walked over, a faint glow retreating from him, gradually revealing a clear image.
The Yellow Emperor smiled at him, just as He did when bidding farewell in the Wilderness of Zhulu’s fruit world.
In this instant, memories overlapped.
At that moment, another figure approached — it was Fu Xi.
Also an "old acquaintance" from the fruit world, He nodded at Han Zhan.
"This is the last fruit world."
"It also corresponds to the Kongtong Seal’s fruit world."
Fu Xi explained to Han Zhan.
The Kongtong Seal, said to be engraved with the images of the Five Directions Celestial Emperor, differed slightly from the legends Han Zhan was familiar with. However, indeed, within this dark fruit world, saints of the same rank as the Celestial Emperor appeared.
Quite similar, nonetheless.
"You all... still alive..." Han Zhan held his question back but couldn’t resist asking.
Saints disappeared after transcending saintliness, especially the Queen Mother of the West, who left a warning not to become a god.
All of these left Han Zhan deeply puzzled and confused about the saints’ whereabouts.
Therefore, upon seeing them again, Han Zhan was unsure within.
"Still alive." It was the Nuwa Saint’s light figure speaking, She came before Han Zhan, nodding slightly.
Upon hearing this answer, Han Zhan’s eyes suddenly brightened, "Then you all—"
"Cannot be said." The Queen Mother of the West’s light figure appeared, She shook Her head.
"Now isn’t the time to discuss this. If not for you entering this final fruit world, we wouldn’t have shown up."
The saints’ mysterious disappearance and sudden appearance remained cryptic as if pursuing something grand.
Han Zhan wasn’t the same naive youth of old. After experiencing the fruit world and observing gods and even the Creator God,
he knew the Human Race Saints must have their plans.
"Alright, let’s skip the idle talk. Our time is limited."
"Let us begin."
After the Yellow Emperor spoke, He nodded towards the other saints.
Then, one by one, saintly light figures suddenly sat down on the ground.
Only then did Han Zhan notice that at some point, the saints’ positions subtly shifted. As they sat down, starlit brilliance from their bodies flourished, resonating.
They had unmistakably formed an "array"!
With Han Zhan’s array aptitude in the Circulation Technique, he barely discerned this was a God-Calling Array.
So-called God-Calling involves arrays themed around "awakening," "activating," "developing," and "exploring."
Following the array’s focus and luminous pathways, Han Zhan shockingly found that the center of the God-Calling Array was beneath his feet!
This was an array prepared for him, a God-Calling Array!
"Close your eyes." Fu Xi’s voice gently echoed in his ears.
His voice carried a natural magic power, the warmth of which reassured one.
Han Zhan did not resist and closed his eyes.
The dark world before him vanished.
In his consciousness sea, an incredibly brilliant world unfolded.
Boom!
There was no sound; the ’boom’ seemed more like a descriptor of the scene Han Zhan saw in his consciousness sea.
Centered within himself, he seemed to transform into a cosmos, a cosmos born of him.
Han Zhan himself was that cosmos consciousness.
As the cosmos expanded instantly, seven divine soldiers emitting different holy lights floated within the boundless cosmos, near or far, orbiting around Han Zhan.
Watching this scene, Han Zhan seemed to gain some vague enlightenment.
At this juncture, Fu Xi’s voice continued to echo in his ears:
"To reach the level of the Creator God, you must possess and create a world, and your world is here."
Han Zhan saw no other saints; Fu Xi’s "world" seemed to consist of only his own consciousness and the seven divine soldiers.
He attempted to ask his question, unexpectedly generating an answer:
"Then what should I do now?"
"Remember." That was Fu Xi’s answer.
"Remember? Remember what?"
"Remember the myriad stars of this world, remember their patterns, remember every movement of the divine soldiers, remember... the attribution of every authority."
As soon as Fu Xi finished speaking,
The world beneath Han Zhan’s consciousness suddenly moved.
It rotated like a colossal star cloud, abruptly brightening.
Myriad stars arranged themselves in an esoteric manner, each fixing into different positions, emitting profoundness.
There seemed to be a peculiar order, especially when Han Zhan attempted to observe and understand using the Circulation Technique, he was astounded to discover.
This seemed to be an extraordinary array based on myriad stars and the entire world!
"Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan Sword, [Power Gate], [Skill Gate]."
The saintly Yellow Emperor’s voice was heard simultaneously, and the light representing the Ancient Divine Weapon Xuan Yuan Sword suddenly shone bright.
[Power Gate] and [Skill Gate] were, under the control of invisible force, merged into Xuan Yuan Sword’s light.
"Nuwa, Nuwa Stone, [Magic Gate]."
"Fu Xi, Fu Xi Zither, [Magic Gate]."
"Flame Emperor, Shennong Cauldron, [Life Mark]."
"Emperor Haotian, Haotian Tower, [Barbaric Beast Mark]."
"Queen Mother of the West, Kunlun Mirror, [Destiny Mark]."
"Kongtong Seal, [Void Origin]." The last phrase spoken by all saints together.
[Void Origin], as one of the longest accompanying Origins for Han Zhan, after so many uses and increased synergy, was merely a step away from being refined into an authority.
The saints helped Han Zhan bridge this final "step."
The membrane between Han Zhan and Kongtong Seal shattered in response!
[Void Origin] was refined into authority, merged into the divine soldier Kongtong Seal.
Thus, each Ancient Divine Weapon had fused with authority.
Seven Ancient Divine Weapons gleamed brightly, seemingly transformed into seven different array focal points, firmly anchoring the grand array formed of myriad stars.
At this moment, Han Zhan’s long stagnant Realm genuinely advanced a step forward!
Han Zhan had an enlightenment; now he had merged seven authorities, his strength had surpassed the gods.
Yet he did not become a god.
For the end of the path of his Great Dao was not god.
But, the Creator God!
"Han Zhan, you must remember, the cultivation of the Dao emphasizes balance, so does the elevation of divine soldiers’ realm."
"When all divine soldiers achieve divinity, that’s when you, reach the realm of the Creator God."
The saints’ voices gradually faded.
The myriad stars continued to flicker with brilliance.
"You should return."
This was the last phrase Han Zhan heard in his chaotic consciousness.
The fruit world officially ended!
