The battle that swept through this realm has finally drawn to a close.
Why did the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens take away the Darkness Origin?
Naturally, it was because Lu Ye had the System contact the Great Sage. If Lu Ye had tried to reach out himself, there would’ve been no way he’d agree.
Even though the Great Sage does enjoy nibbling on Lu Ye’s stories.
However, there was some tension between the System and the Great Sage earlier when the System wanted to cross dimensions to snack on stories, and the System even mentioned that the remaining laws of the Great Sage weren’t completely devoid of consciousness.
For taking away the Darkness Origin, Lu Ye could only give it a shot.
If the Great Sage didn’t agree, then the Darkness Origin would just have to reveal itself prematurely.
But to Lu Ye’s surprise, the Great Sage actually decided to act and didn’t refine the Darkness Origin; he just took it away.
After the Great Sage exhausted his law power, the Darkness Origin had already escaped.
So the Darkness Origin had something to say too.
The Demon Ancestor and the Darkness Celestial Lord hadn’t actually perished; killing those two would consume way too many laws, and the Great Sage’s main task was to wipe out the Dark Origin God.
But the two previous attacks had indeed inflicted terrible wounds on the Darkness Celestial Lord and the Demon Ancestor. The essence of the Dark Origin God they absorbed probably needed some healing, and they might not even know if it would be enough.
However, Lu Ye’s goal had already been achieved.
That is, he bought some time.
In this upcoming period, neither the Demon Ancestor nor the Darkness Celestial Lord would be able to stir up any trouble since they were both injured and simply incapable of battling other Celestial Lords.
If they wanted to incite another dark upheaval, they’d have to wait a while.
After some time, Lu Ye would formally appear before them, stepping onto the stage of the strongest in the Heavens and Earth.
Within the Darkness Origin.
The original Darkness Origin hadn’t put all its power into the Seventh Heaven.
After all, it had been taken away by Lu Ye in the last life.
Now, it had wised up. Even though Lu Ye had become its master, who could say there wouldn’t be a psycho version of Lu Ye?
The Fallen Dao Celestial Lord eventually transformed into a stream of light that merged into the Darkness Origin.
His form had become extremely blurry.
His body had long been shattered, and now, the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord wasn’t even close to being a True Spirit.
He was doomed.
All the Celestial Lords knew he was doomed, and obviously, the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord was aware of it too.
He couldn’t help but let out a gentle sigh; it felt like a long training had finally come to an end at this moment.
Before death, people often look back on their lives.
The Fallen Dao Celestial Lord was reflecting on his life.
What did he gain in this lifetime?
What did he lose?
It was obvious that his life could be considered glorious; after all, even the weakest of Celestial Lords were still Celestial Lords.
To become a Celestial Lord wasn’t something for the weak; the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord’s weakness was merely due to others being too strong.
He too had once reigned over worlds.
He had also been feared by millions.
But that was all in the early days.
Those days felt like an ancient time long gone, leaving the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord’s memories hazy.
In his more recent memories, what else was there?
As he pondered, a figure suddenly appeared before the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord.
A blurry memory also showed a figure that matched the one currently before him.
“Celestial Lord!”
Bai Huxin cried out in despair.
Her eyes were red, filled with tears.
“Celestial Lord, how could you become like this? Hurry and recover! I’ll help you!”
Bai Huxin released a spell, wanting to help the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord heal, but her magic directly passed through his body.
“How can this be?”
Bai Huxin exclaimed.
“You need to heal yourself, Celestial Lord! Don’t just stand there like an idiot; heal yourself!”
Although Bai Huxin’s spell was useless, she stubbornly released healing spells repeatedly, urging the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord to recover.
“It’s no use; I can’t survive any longer,” the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord said softly.
“No, I don’t believe it! You’re the Celestial Lord, the pinnacle being of the Nine Heavens! How could you die? What will I do if you’re gone? There will be no one who loves me like you do in this world, boo hoo…”
In that moment, Bai Huxin truly broke down in tears.
The Fallen Dao Celestial Lord couldn’t help but be touched.
Turns out, in this world, there really is someone who would cry for his passing.
He reached out a hand, wanting to gently stroke Bai Huxin’s long hair, but as his hand came close, it stopped a few inches away.
Bai Huxin tried to grab the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord’s hand and place it on her head, but her hand passed right through his arm.
Bai Huxin’s heart trembled violently.
Her crying stopped.
Bai Huxin bit her lip stubbornly, trying not to let herself cry.
But it was evident that she was struggling immensely.
“I know, I know the Celestial Lord doesn’t like me crying. I won’t cry, the Celestial Lord likes to see me smile, so I…”
Bai Huxin forced out a smile even uglier than her tears; her tears couldn’t be contained and flowed freely.
The Fallen Dao Celestial Lord saw this and was truly moved; this tearful yet smiling face became the most profound memory in his heart at that moment.
“Do I really treat you this well?”
The Fallen Dao Celestial Lord said helplessly.
In his life, how many people had he sincerely treated?
Bai Huxin could no longer hold back and cried out loudly.
“Celestial Lord, Celestial Lord is the… is the best to me! I can never forget in my life how you saved and protected me… Celestial Lord… don’t go…”
Bai Huxin could hardly find her voice, her words stumbling, filled with extreme sorrow.
The Fallen Dao Celestial Lord looked incredibly gentle.
“After I’m gone, you must take good care of yourself. This is the treasure I accumulated over these years, and since I never utilized it, it shall be left to you.”
“Live well; if you can avoid relying on others, do so. Being strong on your own is true strength.”
“If I’m not here, I really don’t know what you’ll do from now on…”
As he spoke, the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord’s form quickly became more and more ethereal.
“Celestial Lord!”
Bai Huxin suddenly lunged towards the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord.
But that leap caused him to completely vanish.
Only a gem floated in the void.
“Celestial Lord!”
Bai Huxin let out a wailing cry.
“Celestial Lord!”
She cried, unable to contain her sorrow.
“I want the Celestial Lord! I don’t want the treasure; I want the Celestial Lord!”
Bai Huxin suddenly grabbed the gem and threw it hard.
“I want the Celestial Lord!”
Her voice was filled with despair, revealing the utmost sorrow.
But the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord had truly left.
Bai Huxin cried for a while before finally coming to her senses.
“This is what the Celestial Lord left for me; this is my last memory of him. I can’t throw it away. I absolutely can’t throw it away…”
“Celestial Lord, this is what you left for me…”
What should have disappeared, the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord, at that moment, used his last bit of strength to make a quick hand seal.
Inside the gem, a spell capable of annihilating all Quasi-Emperors quietly dissipated.
The Fallen Dao Celestial Lord smiled.
How wonderful!
