Chapter 679: Entering the Darkness Origin

Turns out, humans and the Darkness Origin are really different.

Humans aim for freedom, for a carefree life, for being unrestrained.

But for the Darkness Origin, her goal is to become the Heavenly Dao, to complete her evolution and become an acknowledged part of the world.

Dark Yaner tightly hugged Lu Ye.

It was a hug filled with emotion.

Sometimes, Lu Ye couldn’t refuse such an embrace, because it held no lust—just sincere feelings.

“Alright, alright, to be honest, letting you become the Heavenly Dao of my inner world has a bit of selfishness on my part. I need that inner world to grow faster. And let me tell you the worst-case scenario: if this realm we’re in can’t hold up, I’ll sacrifice my inner world to improve this realm.”

“If that day comes, you’ll have to share the Heavenly Dao with Little Heavenly Dao and Shen Xitang.”

Upon hearing this, Dark Yaner grasped the meaning.

The hug tightened again.

“Wuwuwu, Nine Lives, you’re the best, wuwuwu…”

Lu Ye???

He really wanted to smack his forehead at this moment.

Good grief, besides wanting to become the Heavenly Dao, the Darkness Origin mainly wants to be part of a big family. If he merges his inner world into this realm, Dark Yaner would fulfill all her goals.

This time, Dark Yaner hit the jackpot!

But as much as Dark Yaner felt like she hit the big score, Lu Ye felt like he got quite the deal too.

So their cooperation was essentially a win-win situation where one plus one equals more than two!

“Since that’s the case, is there anything else you need to do? If you have things to handle, go ahead. If not, you can join my inner world now,” Lu Ye said.

“Yes, there’s more to do.”

Dark Yaner quickly replied.

“Come on, Nine Lives, I’ll take you to hang out in the Darkness Origin. Speaking of which, you’ve never been inside me.”

Dark Yaner grabbed Lu Ye’s hand and led him into her inner world.

Lu Ye didn’t refuse. Honestly, he had never been inside the Darkness Origin in either his last life or this one, so he was curious about what the Darkness Origin looked like inside.

The moment he entered the Darkness Origin, Lu Ye felt as though he had left this realm behind.

It was as if time itself was cut off.

Everything in the world lost its meaning.

A truly bizarre sensation.

“Greetings, Nine Lives Celestial Lord!”

Inside the Darkness Origin, Emperors and Quasi-Emperors were already anxiously standing by, and upon seeing Lu Ye arrive, they all bowed.

They had no idea how Lu Ye would treat them.

They could only hope that, for the sake of the Darkness Origin, he would let them off the hook.

Let’s not even mention how the Darkness Celestial Lord didn’t expect the Darkness Origin to take sides with Lu Ye; no one else saw that coming either.

The group of Quasi-Emperors had actually already started to entertain the thought of aligning with Lu Ye, since his ability to guide people to become Emperors really made them envious.

Unfortunately, the Nine Lives Celestial Lord was now back in the Celestial Lord Realm.

It seemed he wouldn’t be teaching Quasi-Emperors anymore.

Lu Ye nodded as he looked at the familiar and unfamiliar figures.

He reached out, and some of the Emperors and Quasi-Emperors didn’t even have time to flee; they turned to ashes on the spot.

These people, whether from his previous life or before entering the Darkness Origin, were all despicable individuals. Since he saw them, it was time to make a clean sweep.

Because once the Darkness Origin integrated into his inner world, this group definitely couldn’t remain in the outside world without causing chaos.

Call it innocent, or say Lu Ye was bloodthirsty—it didn’t matter. This clean-up had to happen.

The remaining survivors broke into a cold sweat.

They had thought Lu Ye might spare them because of the Darkness Origin, but it seemed they were sorely mistaken.

“You lot don’t have much sin. After leaving the Darkness Origin, redeem yourselves,” Lu Ye said.

“Yes!”

Dark Yaner looked at Lu Ye with nothing but admiration.

Such decisive killing actions truly struck a chord with her.

Dark Yaner took Lu Ye around to start showing him the places.

“This is the area where Quasi-Emperors train; it’s at the very edge. Quasi-Emperors are generally brought here by Emperors or Celestial Lords. We previously tricked a bunch to their demise here, making it the liveliest place, with Quasi-Emperors frequently clashing. This is where I love to hang out and watch the fun.”

“This is the area where the Emperors stay. Nine Lives, come with me!”

Dark Yaner took Lu Ye to a spot.

It was a small whirlpool naturally formed by the Darkness Origin, through which a beautiful starry river could be seen.

“Isn’t it pretty? Many years ago, I spent time here just watching the star river outside; it was so beautiful.”

“Nine Lives, lying down to look is even better!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye lay back in the void.

Dark Yaner lay beside him, pointing out the stars.

“Look, that star is the brightest; the scene there looks like two people arguing.”

“And these eleven stars connect together like a bottle—I named it the Big Mouth Bottle.”

“Look…”

Dark Yaner chattered beside Lu Ye, appearing to describe small trivial things, but in reality, she was recounting her long, drawn-out experiences.

From being unconscious, to being clueless, and then to gaining some understanding…

This is how humans grow, and the Darkness Origin grows in a similar way.

It’s just clear that the Darkness Origin hadn’t gone through any teachings; it was simply growing wild.

“Let’s go to the next place!”

“This is the training area for Celestial Lords. The Demon Ancestor and Darkness Celestial Lord occupy the most central positions. There’s hardly any flow of time here, being completely isolated from the heavens and earth.”

“Originally, only the Darkness Celestial Lord was here; then the Demon Ancestor came and started fighting with the Darkness Celestial Lord.”

“This is where the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord trains.”

“And here is where the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord trains.”

“Lastly, I need to formally introduce you to someone!”

Lu Ye?

He was a bit curious about who it was.

Someone worth a special introduction from the Darkness Origin.

The Darkness Origin led Lu Ye to where Bai Huxin was located.

Wearing pure white clothes, Bai Huxin seemed to have known Lu Ye was coming and was already waiting there.

Upon seeing Lu Ye, she performed a graceful bow.

“This humble one is Bai Huxin, greetings, Nine Lives Celestial Lord.”

Lu Ye couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, carefully observing Bai Huxin. Her demeanor was very serious, and her attire was simple—not the kind of simplicity that’s untouched by dust, just the most ordinary simplicity.

She was intentionally making herself seem plain.
