Chapter 2010 – Not Dead

Chapter 2010 – Not Dead

The primordial heavenly emperor was also a dao form! In fact, he was human! It was a secret that he’d always buried deep. No one knew his family’s true form apart from himself, Yun Yi, and Shu Yan. When he ruled as emperor, he maintained a large harem to hide their identity as dao forms, fathering numerous strange races throughout the course of his reign. The only one who was a pureblooded human was Yun Yi.

She had always hidden her identity as well.

Dao forms were the public enemy of all living beings in existence, particularly after the human race of the chief worlds was eliminated. There were no more factions of dao forms after that—apart from the humans in the Land of Reincarnation.

Humanity now walked the path of cultivation again and spread throughout the chief worlds. Thus, chief world denizens once more focused on the race, determined to destroy it once and for all. At the very least, they would doom the race beyond redemption if complete annihilation was impossible.

Yun Yi and her family had undertaken everything not for the chief worlds, but for humanity itself. That had ever been the case. That was why she’d ultimately chosen Lu Yun—because he was human and the one who’d brought the race out of the Land of Reincarnation.

Her plans didn’t necessarily culminate with Lu Yun, but whoever ended the loops of reincarnation. The one who ended the land would have to enter the tomb of the empyrean supreme after learning the truth. Searching out the god of Mount Tai and refining a new Land of Reincarnation would be their next course of action.

Prior to this, Lu Yun only calculated that he was caught in a plot and there was something waiting for him. He never imagined that he would be the ultimate beneficiary from her planning!

As for the spirit within the Jade Record of Creation that wanted to possess him… Daoist Ingress wouldn’t have come if it didn’t exist. Heavenfall and Worldcarver would then be absent from the subsequent conflicts.

The organs of the world and the Jade Record of Creation were important steps to revitalizing the primordial world of immortals. However, only Heavenfall and Worldcarver could kill the spirit entities that’d been born within.

If not for Heavenfall, the manifestations of the five senses wouldn’t be able to eat the divine spirits of the organs. The spear had defeated the divine spirits by the time they arrived.

When all was said and done, the massive game of smoke and mirrors—including many fatal plots against Lu Yun—was all meant to protect him. Yun Yi, her father, and grandfather had schemed against many of their own people. They placed those of the same mind as them on the opposite side and wove a web of truth and falsehood, making it impossible to guess who their plans were fore.

Lu Yun’s formula dao had been obscured in the tomb of the empyrean supreme. The Disordered Empyrean Supreme hadn’t been able to determine anything either.

He slowly nodded his head.

……

“Why haven’t you killed me yet?” Within the world of the Tome of Life and Death, the Disordered Empyrean Supreme regarded a manifesting replica of Lu Yun with a complicated expression. She was still an empyrean supreme, but even those powerhouses had to bow their heads in this world.

There was a large black dog sprawled on the ground—the demon of immortal dao that’d originally lived in the Imperial Seal. After the unknown existence of nothing took the seal, Lu Yun sent the demon back here again.

Moving with the ease of experience, the demon immediately found a comfortable nook and created a dog house. He really was a bonafide dog.

The internal world was gradually becoming a true world; the tree god’s primary body stood in the center and supported its new home. Lu Yun wanted to reforge the Land of Reincarnation for only one reason—resurrect the tree god.

The Disordered Empyrean Supreme wasn’t dead because Lu Yun’s earlier blow was to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes. He hadn’t released much of his power of nothing—his declaration was a bald-faced lie for whoever would set foot into his trap.

“Yun Yi wouldn’t go to so much trouble and effort just so she can sacrifice an empyrean level powerhouse.” He looked at his captive. “If it was anyone else just now, that blow would’ve killed you.”

“Oh?” The Disordered Empyrean Supreme cocked her head.

“Wu Ru is you and you are Wu Ru. You used the life extension art to help me grasp the life form of a grand supreme,” Lu Yun responded. “If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t be able to call upon the strength of a peak grand supreme even when holding Heavenfall. Nothing that occurred earlier would’ve been possible!”

A mute Disordered Empyrean Supreme spread out her hands.

“The shamans are a branch of humanity,” Lu Yun finally sighed. “If it wasn’t for me, you’d be the beneficiary of this plot.”

The empyrean supreme remained silent and gently sat down on the ground. She took a while to gather her thoughts before saying, “I will still try to kill you if you don’t kill me now. I will take your hell dao from you.”

“I have the power of reincarnation and will eventually derive the complete great dao of reincarnation. You can have hell dao whenever you want.” Lu Yun didn’t mind her declaration and waved the complete hell dao into existence. It was a black river that bisected the world at its center.

The world of the Tome of Life and Death spontaneously turned into hell with the appearance of the great dao. They were within Lu Yun’s nascent spirit, so everything was under his control. He was the divine creator in here.

“You can withdraw this at any time so long as you remain alive. Hell dao has taken root in your body. What you mean by giving this to me is just a grant of favor. It would not be my hell dao.” The empyrean supreme was smiling, but the look in her eyes was impossibly cold.

With the immense plan that Yun Yi and her family had set up, more than the three of them were needed to complete it. The other two empyrean supremes of the chief worlds and those with equivalent strength were also involved.

They appeared to oppose each other on the surface, but worked toward the same goal in reality.

If Lu Yun hadn’t appeared, then the primordial world of immortals after the sacrifice would be the Disordered Empyrean Supreme’s world. Her survival was predetermined, but no one expected Lu Yun to arrive with the Tome of Life and Death. Even the existence receiving sacrifices in the nothing was interested in the mysterious treasure.

Thus, everything that should’ve belonged to the Disordered Empyrean Supreme shifted to Lu Yun’s pockets. She’d known the reason for everything the moment she was revived and acted accordingly to the best of her abilities. Her presence this time was to help Lu Yun kill her so a source of future trouble could be taken off the board.

She had her own desires, such as Lu Yun’s great dao, but when placed in the plot and working toward its fruition, she had to die. If the young man didn’t kill her, she would continue to oppose him and seek to take hell dao.

It was a very conflicting set of emotions—such was meant by the order of opposition.

Lu Yun fell silent. It would indeed be a bestowment from a superior position if he gave hell dao to the Disordered Empyrean Supreme. It was a roundabout way of recruiting her to his banner.

He even entertained the thought of forcing her to write her name in the Tome of Life and Death. Only then could they truly avoid future trouble.
