Chapter 306 - 268: I Once Became the Giant God to Forge Chaos...
[No time, no space, no up or down, no left or right.]
[All is nothing, all is void.]
["Zha!"]
[An ancient and grand sound resounded through the void, a giant broke out of its shell, his body majestic as a mountain, eyes as brilliant as stars. Where his gaze landed, void became substance, chaos condensed into reality, everything was born under his watch.]
[Yet no "living beings" were born.]
[All around was empty, only he stood upon the void chaos, at the instant Ning Xunqiu grasped the "Jade Void Heaven-Opening Axe," clarity dawned in his heart.]
[The Celestial Dao is the body of the Sky-Opening Giant God, exactly the immense body he currently occupied.]
[Beyond the Celestial Dao, all "All Heavens and Myriads of Realms" ceased to exist.]
[One.]
[Only the "Sky-Opening Giant God" is the sole existence.]
[East Emperor Taiyi, Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor, Chaos Demon God Yellow Sky, Divine Man, Venerable of Dao and Virtue, Ancestral Dragon, Cangtian, and so forth all "do not exist."]
[This is the vision of "Celestial Derivation Forty-nine: Jade Void Heaven-Opening Axe"!]
[This Heavenly Dao Axe not only possesses the power to cleave chaos but also embodies the supreme might of "correcting" the Celestial Dao.]
[And this power, Ning Xunqiu was not unfamiliar with—it was precisely the source of the Celestial Derivation Volume’s power to "rewrite" fate!]
[At this moment, he transformed into the "Sky-Opening Giant God," returning to pre-chaos, wielding the might to rewrite everything in "All Heavens and Myriads of Realms."]
[Here, with just one axe swing, East Emperor Taiyi, Chaos Demon God, Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor would be completely erased from the river of history, ceasing to exist.]
["Celestial Derivation of 49 represents all existence, all heavens and realms within the void chaos were evolved by the Celestial Dao, or transformed from its fragments. And at this moment, everyone resides inside the body of this Sky-Opening Giant God."]
[Ning Xunqiu gazed at the empty world before him, silent and still, chillingly quiet, understanding springing forth in his heart. He gathered all existence, yet this also meant everything no longer existed.]
[The price to incarnate as the Sky-Opening Giant God is eternal solitude.]
[He could "reopen chaos," he could reshape everything.]
[But his Cyan Mountain, junior sister, daughter, disciple, Master, those winds and warmth he once felt, would all be "killed" by his own hand!]
[He knew, the world would only have two similar flowers, but never an identical one. Even if their essence is the same, their flesh the same, soul the same, their experiences alone differ. Those unique memories and emotions, once lost, can never be recaptured.]
[He remembered being a mortal child, the joy and thrill over a single candy. But as a youth, he could never recall why that ordinary candy tasted so delightful. The candy’s taste never changed, only he had passed through that time, his mindset drastically different.]
[All those beautiful things eventually become a "fleeting smile" in memory, yet never recapturing the reason for the smile at that time.]
[This sense of deviation, akin to—carving a mark on a boat seeking sword lost.]
[Clearly the boat has sailed far, yet stubbornly etching a mark on the boat’s side, trying to find the sword sunk beneath the waters.]
[This price, heavy enough to suffocate.]
[Ning Xunqiu stood in the void, hand gripping the Jade Void Heaven-Opening Axe, at this moment, he is the formless and indescribable "Dao" that ordinary beings dream of achieving.]
[Yet no divinity who has cultivated a "human form" can endure eternally becoming an unmoving "Stone of the Great Dao." They are destined to choose to break the chaos and birth beings.]
[Equally destined to walk toward annihilation in the void chaos!]
[Only by the "Sky-Opening Giant God’s" death, returning to the Celestial Dao, can all be reborn.]
[Ning Xunqiu’s heart stirred, the "Eyes of the Primordial" scanned himself, surprisingly not finding the existence of "Returning Void Heaven"...]
["Indeed, this path leads nowhere."]
[Ning Xunqiu shook his head, his eyes devoid of disappointment.]
[He cannot guarantee that after reopening chaos, he wouldn’t encounter the existence that forces "Butian Great God" and "Great God of Heaven Opening" to seal their true names. The Celestial Dao must evolve to its end for him to see all truth.]
[This time, he has attained the destruction Great Dao of the Celestial Dao, Divine Land, Ancestral Dragon, Eyes of the Primordial, Butian Great Dao, sufficient to forge this incomplete "Celestial Derivation Forty-nine: Jade Void Heaven-Opening Axe."]
[This information suffices to face all.]
[He must return to continue perfecting Celestial Dao One, to nourish more Great Daos.]
[Ning Xunqiu opened his eyes again, returned to Daluo Heaven, he gently swayed the axe, the white-robed figure opposite paused for a moment, then vanished with a "bang."]
[Outside the world, East Emperor Taiyi, Chaos Demon God, and Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor saw this and were all shocked.]
[Ning Xunqiu’s face pale as paper, raised the "Jade Void Heaven-Opening Axe" with difficulty, about to swing a second strike at East Emperor Taiyi. However, hearing a crisp "crack," a visible fracture rapidly spread from the axe blade.]
[In an instant, the "Jade Void Heaven-Opening Axe" shattered.]
[Ning Xunqiu’s figure trembled, nearly unable to stand steady. His body was almost entirely eroded by gray marks, only his head yet uncorrupted. He "held on" to his last breath, quickly sent a message in the chat group: "@Lazybones Little Crow, @Red Dust Immortal Li Yanzhi, I’ve broken the Jade Void Heaven-Opening Axe, quickly claim it’s your doing, then say something threatening!"]
[Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor and East Emperor Taiyi exchanged a glance.]
[Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor coldly looked at the severely injured Ning Xunqiu, his gaze slightly changed: "Hmph, the Great Dao of Silent Demon God, among us three thousand Great Path Demon Gods, ranks only barely in the top fifty, Yuanshi Celestial Venerable, you struggle so against just one... it seems the ’Jade Void Heaven-Opening Axe’ is so-so after all."]
