Chapter 267 - Earth (2) (2/2)

”Here,” Eloah sent the pearl forward. Yan Zaizen nodded, grabbing it.

”What is it?” He curiously scanned it with his heavenly sense and spiritual sense, but couldn't find anything extraordinary about this pearl.

”It's a life-saving treasure for a spiritual form. If you crush it, it'll protect your soul or the soul of others for a century. However, only a century.” Eloah calmly explained, but his eyes flickered with a profound light.

”A soul protecting talisman?” Yan Zaizen furrowed his brows. ”Why?” Why would he need a soul protecting treasure?

Eloah was silent for a few seconds but only replied, ”It may come in handy.” That was all he said, the benevolent smile never reappearing on his face. This caused Yan Zaizen to furrow his brows even further. Eloah had always been a mystery, even his existence left him curious.

”This planet…Its name?” Yan Zaizen kept the pearl and looked at the blue planet. He would never reject a free gift.

Eloah closed his eyes. ”Earth.”

Yan Zaizen's heart trembled violently at those words. That single word invoked a thought-provoking reaction, but Yan Zaizen felt unsure. His mind rumbled with theories, his eyes looking at this planet deeper than ever before.

”I'll explain this, but after...be sure to remember that having faith is not a flaw of the mind, but the strength of the heart.” Eloah's words seemed to contain a strange force, lifting Yan Zaizen from his mess of thoughts.

”A piece of the Earths below.” Eloah only said this single sentence.

Yan Zaizen' body visibly shook. The Earths and Skies are below the heavens; The Earths and Skies are above the heavens. Yan Zaizen never understood the concept fully, but looking at this blue planet, his idea of it grew clearer.

The Black Hole once immersed him in the thoughts of devouring the Earth and consuming the Sky. He deduced that the Earth meant all things spiritual and the Sky was all things physical. The heavens were the essence, but he felt like it was far more complex.

There was still so many missing pieces to the unfathomable puzzle, albeit it was slightly clearer. This planet that embodied the basic form of the heavens. Humans that didn't cultivate, beasts that looked like infant forms of divine beasts, and the myriad of brilliant places in this world untainter by heavenly laws. Even his cultivation bases were completely restricted.

It was as if he was looking at the beginning of life in all forms.

”If the Earths below is an infant state of life, then...? Could the Earths above contain gods?” At this thought, his heart quivered. To cultivators, gods often represented powerful cultivators, but could it be something far greater? Actual gods?

”What is God? Mind not your thoughts, only the truth before you.” Eloah's words were softly spoken, his eyes still closed.

With a piercing gaze, Yan Zaizen honed in Eloah's spiritual form. Despite Eloah literally reading his thoughts, he didn't say anything in response.

If what he says is true, then Eloah was protecting this planet. This piece of Earth. It might even be possible that he's protecting more than that. However, he had a distinct feeling that any more questions will not be answered.

As if knowing his thoughts, ”Your instincts are beyond this world, trust them.” With that, he faded like a ghost in the night.

”...who are you…” Even though his instincts and intuition about things were often correct, it didn't mean he was omniscient. He only felt a distinct feeling from people, events, or at a crossroad in his choices. This drove him in many of his actions. Such as finding Pinaka, not trusting the Xiantu Emperor, or seeing through Lang Xue's lies.

”Thirty-three heavens, ninety-nine heavens. Earths and Skies, below and above. My tri-existence, me, the black hole, and the king. Why do I exist? What is a heaven? Why are there so many? Every step I take, every bit I learn, I feel as if three more questions emerge.” With a sigh, he suddenly felt mentally exhausted.

Only after a long while did his eyes clear. ”Hmph! They'll come as they come. For now, I have other goals.” His eyes flickered with an intense light of resolve. With a step, he arrived near the inter-heavenly spatial formation. ”From now on, my path is the path I choose.”
