Chapter 2145: The Cocky Little Xie
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The two of them immediately reached an agreement, and they decided to test their newfound power on a Heavenly God.
Of course, this experiment would have to wait until later.
Heavenly Gods weren’t cabbages, and they couldn’t be harvested just because one wanted to do so.
An Lin would only have the opportunity to test out Little Xie’s theory when the next battle erupted.
In the meantime, he continued to discuss the theory of crushing the heavens with Little Xie.
“According to what you’ve said, I can crush the heavens simply by engulfing all of the remaining Heavenly Gods?” An Lin asked.
“No, doing so will only allow you to become stronger. Upon engulfing a portion of the Heavenly Dao, the portion of Heavenly Dao that you occupy will naturally grow larger. At that time, your Heavenly Darkness Power will also become more powerful.
“In fact, you should also be aware of this. Although you’ve already become the complete Heavenly Darkness God, the Heavenly Darkness Power that you can wield is on a completely different level compared to the power of the backlash of darkness during the destruction of the Purple Star Civilization.”
An Lin nodded upon hearing this.
At that time, the Heavenly Darkness God had destroyed an entire state with a single strike. With a single attack, he had also killed hundreds of billions of humans and obliterated countless small worlds. At the same time, he had also erased all traces of a top-notch civilization… An Lin didn’t possess the power to unleash such a technique.
“This isn’t because your Heavenly Darkness Power isn’t powerful enough. Rather, it’s because the Heavenly Dao is suppressing all of the self-aware beings who possess a Heavenly God Power. This suppression won’t become weaker as long as you’re still you.
“Of course, the destruction of the Purple Star Civilization was a peculiar time. Even though the Heavenly Darkness God had possessed self-awareness at that time, the Heavenly Dao still hadn’t suppressed him. That was because his actions had been beneficial to the Heavenly Dao…
“Right now, we’re planning to crush the heavens. Thus, you need to become more powerful even under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, you need to genuinely contend with the Heavenly Dao. Only by doing so can you truly crush the heavens!”
An Lin grimaced slightly. “Why does it seem even harder after listening to your explanation?”
“Crushing the heavens was never meant to be easy,” Little Xie said as she rolled her eyes at An Lin. “To say nothing else, at least our method is safer than that of the Heaven Crushing Sect! Of course, this safety is built on the foundation of our incredible heaven-defying power.”
Incredible heaven-defying power?
An Lin was feeling slightly uncomfortable.
It seemed like Little Xie had been complimenting him a lot recently…
In fact, this kind of confidence seemed to give one an impression of cockiness.
An Lin suddenly felt a little panicked.
“Little Xie, have you become cocky after learning that you’re a weapon that can crush the heavens?” An Lin hurriedly asked.
Little Xie nodded very naturally, saying, “If I’m not cocky, then how can I always be thinking of crushing the heavens?”
An Lin pondered over this for a second. It seemed to make a lot of sense…
“When you start to engulf more and more Heavenly God Powers and push your Heavenly Darkness Power toward a new height, you’ll then be able to genuinely challenge the Heavenly Dao! I still remember where the fissure of the Heavenly Dao is. At that time, I can lead you over to battle the Heavenly Dao!” Little Xie wore a serious expression as she said this.
An Lin was moved by Little Xie’s commitment to crushing the heavens. He reached over to pinch her chubby cheeks again, saying, “Little Xie, you’re so adorable when you’re diligently coming up with a plan for me. Ohhh…!”
An Lin couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment at this feeling.
So soft! So smooth!
He could rub this face for ten years!
Whoosh!
Little Xie pierced the sword into An Lin’s waist.
“Ow!”
There was a howl of pain.
“Idiot An, fix your attitude! Treat this with a little more seriousness!”
An aloof yet childish voice traveled into An Lin’s ears.
“Little Xie, lighter please… It hurts…”
“I know. Anyhow, our task at hand is to find a few Heavenly Gods to challenge…”
…
Some restrictions of the Heavenly Dao were unraveled.
At the same time, some changes were silently taking place and affecting the world.
Within the cabin of life.
There was a look of shock on Nuwa’s face as she gazed at the White Spirit Snake. A long time had already passed, yet she had yet to come to her senses.
“I know that An Lin possesses the Heavenly Darkness Power.
“However, you said that An Lin was the Heavenly Darkness God who destroyed the Purple Star Civilization? This… Is this true? You can’t make such claims lightly…”
The White Spirit Snake shook her head. There was a bitter expression on her face, and she said, “I’m certain. Their appearances are incredibly similar, and the aura that they exude is also extremely unique… Your Majesty, you should be very clear about my immense sensory abilities… An Lin is the Heavenly Darkness God who destroyed the Purple Star Civilization. To be more precise, he’s a reincarnation of the Heavenly Darkness God.”
Nuwa looked up at the azure-blue sky, not speaking for a long time. After a long while, she sighed softly and said, “Even after learning that An Lin was the Heavenly Darkness God, I still held onto a shred of hope. I convinced myself that he had obtained this Heavenly God Power through some special means…
“Sigh… After hearing your explanation, I have no option but to admit his identity. No wonder I felt like he was the best candidate to mend the heavens. So it turns out that it was him that we wanted to mend…”
“Her Majesty, what will happen to Senior An Lin if we successfully mend the heavens?” the White Spirit Snake asked anxiously.
“If An Lin is genuinely a part of the Heavenly Dao, then he’ll naturally return to the Heavenly Dao. He’ll be assimilated by the remaining Heavenly Dao and return to a state of no awareness… In other words, his self-awareness and existence will be reduced to void. He’ll suffer the same fate as the other Heavenly Gods,” Nuwa said softly.
The White Spirit Snake tugged at Nuwa’s sleeve and said, “No… We can’t do this… There must be some way to save Senior An Lin, am I right? I don’t want Senior An Lin to die.” Upon hearing Nuwa’s answer, the rims of the White Spirit Snake’s eyes instantly became red.
She hoped to hear a different answer.
However, all she heard was Nuwa’s helpless sigh.
“Little Bai… This is not the time for your emotions to dictate your actions…
“An Lin is indeed a good person. However, we can’t plunge the hundreds of billions of beings of the Tai Chu Continent into perilous danger just for the sake of a single good person…
“Perhaps he can still be saved if the heavens are destroyed. However, both you and I are aware of the immense risks that are involved with crushing the heavens. By supporting An Lin in crushing the heavens, we’ll essentially be pushing hundreds of billions of beings toward perilous danger.”
Nuwa explained this calmly, yet the White Spirit Snake’s lips were tightly pursed together. Her hands were clenched into fists, and there was a boundless conflict in her mind.
That man’s figure, his warm gaze… These had already been deeply imprinted in her mind and being. Nuwa’s words continued to echo in her mind. The beings of the world were the most important. For their safety, some people could be sacrificed. However, were the people being sacrificed not important beings?
The Black Spirit Snake remained silent as she stood beside them and listened.
However, her aloof expression was slightly adrift.
She recalled many past events. Although An Lin had been very detestable and very infuriating in the past, he couldn’t be regarded as a bad person. On the contrary, he was a very reasonable person.
Moreover, An Lin had genuinely done a lot for the Tai Chu Continent. He had risked his life several times for the sake of the human tribe, and when it came to the war of resistance against the Heavenly Human Tribe, it wouldn’t be a stretch to call him the supreme hero of the human tribe and even Tai Chu Continent.
However, in order to save the beings of the entire Tai Chu Continent, were they going to push such a selfless hero toward death?
The cabin of life descended into silence.
The atmosphere was extremely heavy and grave.
After a long while, Nuwa’s voice finally shattered the silence.
“Let’s go, we need to make some preparations.”
“What preparations?” the White Spirit Snake asked in a daze.
“Preparations… on how to target An Lin,” Nuwa replied.
