Chapter 907 - 351: Self-Destruction
What happened today is complex and obscure, far beyond anyone’s understanding.
Even Guan Xin, who holds the same quest for truth as Fuzi, feels this way.
Eternal culmination, chaotic disorder, Everlasting Mountain, Path of Eternity, Reversers, Salvation Path, Infinite Sea...
Each existence challenges Guan Xin’s cognitive limits. If this were usual times, she would be preoccupied, disregarding even matters concerning Ye Wuyue, focused entirely on understanding these existences. But now, it is far from "usual."
When parting with Fan Wubing, she learned from him that an entity from the Great Thousand Worlds is reversing the Path of Eternity, about to arrive in this world, wielding the butcher’s knife to remove this "tumor."
She asked,
"Is there anything I can do?"
Fan Wubing looked at her and said, "Do what you should do as the Ming Ancestor."
Guan Xin understood. What she should do now is help White Jade Capital successfully hold the Human Dao Assembly.
"Alright!"
After parting ways with Guan Xin, Fan Wubing returned to the Divine Phoenix Hall.
Si Jiuyou was not present. While Fan Wubing was reclaiming the Innate treasure, she delved into the "root" of this continent, the Central Spirit Mountain, preparing for the reconstruction of the Path to Immortality, solidifying the avenues and bolstering the qi to avoid the void storm when connected to the Great Thousand Worlds.
Fan Wubing sat in the Divine Phoenix Hall, holding the Chronicles of Time.
He took a deep breath, preparing thoroughly for touching upon the final truth.
Dismissing all distractions, he opened the title page of the Chronicles of Time.
An ancient, heavy aura rushed toward him, as if entering a room that hadn’t been opened for millions of years.
Immense information flooded into Fan Wubing’s mind, instantly filling his mighty soul he was so proud of, leaving him almost no energy to think about anything else, and unable to stop absorbing information from the Chronicles of Time.
At this moment, he realized the Chronicles of Time doesn’t record all things in the ages, but rather... the Great Wilderness Cyan Dragon’s experiences.
The Great Wilderness Cyan Dragon’s experiences thoroughly encompassed time and were far beyond just time.
Fan Wubing’s soul was like falling into a massive vortex, unable to extricate itself. He uncontrollably and greedily absorbed the experiences in the Chronicles of Time—
Or rather, the dragon soul.
Yes, this Chronicles of Time was transformed from the dragon soul that the Great Wilderness Cyan Dragon lost from the very beginning.
However, he couldn’t absorb the Great Wilderness Cyan Dragon’s dragon soul. His soul, which could envelop the entire Small Thousand Worlds, seemed diminutive as dust before the Chronicles of Time. Even if he cleared of all cognitions, memories, and feelings, it couldn’t contain even a billionth of the experiences from the Chronicles of Time.
If he didn’t close the book quickly, there would be only one outcome waiting for him—
Soul shattering.
But... the experiences in the Chronicles of Time held a fatal attraction for him. It is said, whether as the Seven Luminaries True Monarch or as Wu Wangxinger, or as a solitary Earth person, all arrangements, layouts, and pursuits are for these experiences.
He couldn’t escape this incredibly intense desire, even more so than the initial thirst to survive facing the heavenly catastrophe.
As he gradually found himself deeply trapped, a white hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back fiercely.
He immediately disengaged from the Chronicles of Time. The book closed its pages automatically.
He broke out in a cold sweat, as all his cultivation was drained, and his soul was exhausted to the extreme, leading him into an unavoidable collapse of slumber.
Si Jiuyou sat down, placing him in her arms, then looked at the Chronicles of Time on the table, furrowing her brows.
Two hours later, Fan Wubing managed to regain consciousness.
He still felt fatigued, utterly weak, and unable to concentrate on thinking. Struggling to open his eyes, he saw Si Jiuyou’s chest.
"What... happened to me?"
He held Si Jiuyou’s hand to sit up, unable to focus his gaze.
Si Jiuyou said,
"Clearly, you tried to absorb the information in the book, but regardless of your soul intensity or level of will, they are far below the level of the book, hence were bitten back."
"Is that so..." Fan Wubing shook his head slightly, "I feel so tired."
Si Jiuyou furrowed her brows and said, "You’re really too reckless. Had I not arrived in time, you might have turned into one of the pages in the book by now."
Fan Wubing said, "Sorry, I just want to know the final truth too much."
Si Jiuyou shook her head without saying anything further.
Fan Wubing held the Chronicles of Time in his hand, afraid to open it casually, "This Chronicles of Time records all of the Great Wilderness Cyan Dragon’s experiences. It is transformed from its dragon soul. Initially, when I saw the Great Wilderness Cyan Dragon, it had already lost its dragon soul, leaving only the body and flesh."
"I know you’ve waited for this day for a long time, but your current capability is far from adequate to explore the profound meanings within," Si Jiuyou said, "Remember, this is the Small Thousand Worlds. You can’t expect to rely on the capacity of the Small Thousand Worlds to perceive the will of the Great Thousand Worlds. Besides—"
She took the Chronicles of Time from Fan Wubing’s hand, sensed it slightly, and said,
"Senior sister does not underestimate you. Even if you enter the Great Thousand Worlds, releasing all your skills entirely, you still can’t absorb it."
"Why is that?"
"You know this is transformed from the Great Wilderness Cyan Dragon’s dragon soul," Si Jiuyou looked at him with a complex gaze, "Why would you have the right to bear the dragon soul of the Great Wilderness Cyan Dragon?"
Fan Wubing said, "I have the True Dragon Will, Dragon Horn, and Dragon Remains!"
