Chapter 2362 - A Will from One Thousand Years Ago! (2/2)

Little Nightmare would bare its teeth and attack for the youth, and the youth’s eyes would turn red from fury when Little Nightmare was injured.

For countless days and nights, they were the best of companions, the best of friends. They trusted each other with their lives and could cast aside everything else to fight for each other.

“I did not tell Little Nightmare many things, nor could I tell it. Knowing too much would not necessarily be a good thing for it. I left the Xuanyuan Sword in the cave to guide it to finding you. If my guess is right, it has been more than one thousand years since we last met.

“I entrust Little Nightmare to you,” the voice said in sorrow.

In the darkness, Wang Chong watched as Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan banished Little Nightmare into the bottomless abyss. Upon that face revered by so many people, Wang Chong saw pain, reluctance, and deep helplessness.

Wang Chong recalled the memories he had obtained from Little Nightmare’s mind long ago, and at that moment, Wang Chong understood.

Xuanyuan had not truly wanted to banish Little Nightmare. Wang Chong was sure that he had already noticed something.

Be at ease. I will protect it, Wang Chong vowed.

…Even though that man could no longer hear his answer.

“I have one last matter to speak of. Our Stones of Destiny were not complete. Only by gathering all the fragments and completing the Stone of Destiny can the ultimate truth be revealed, will one have the strength to alter destiny. No matter what, you cannot let Heaven get the Stone of Destiny!” the Yellow Emperor solemnly said. Wang Chong saw that Yellow Emperor turn from a youth into the man he had seen on the throne.

“Heaven is the world’s greatest criminal, the source of all disaster. The Celestial Palace is an important part of his plan. Although Heaven tricked me into the Celestial Palace, this made me realize his scheme.

“Heaven wants to control the entire world. If he succeeds, the Celestial Palace’s power will seep into every inch of the world, and everything will be as he wills. He will dominate the human world and make everything go as he desires, altering and even wiping away human history. All living beings will become his puppets and playthings. When the time comes, humans will really be nothing more than ants. Heaven wishes to construct a true Celestial Domain, and he will be the only Celestial Emperor!”

“What?!”

Wang Chong was aghast at the Yellow Emperor’s words.

The Celestial Palace could alter memories. Wang Chong knew about this. He even knew that the Celestial Palace could control the actions of millions of people. But Wang Chong had never known that the Celestial Palace had the power to control the entire human world.

Moreover, Master Guangcheng had said that Heaven wanted to offer many humans as a blood sacrifice to maintain his immortality and repair the Celestial Palace. But Wang Chong had not realized that ‘repair’ meant crafting the Celestial Palace into an ultimate ritual tool that could control the entire human world.

But how was that possible?!

Though he was shocked, Wang Chong knew that this man would not lie.

“At the final moment, I knew that I would not be able to leave this place, so I joined together with all the people at my side and created this world in the depths of the Celestial Palace, suppressing its core and preventing Heaven from carrying out his plan. But all energy has its limits. When you came inside, it meant that the energy I left behind will not be able to suppress the core for much longer.

“The Celestial Palace must be destroyed. If it is allowed to persist, Heaven will finally be able to realize his desires and turn the entire world into his plaything, everyone becoming his slave. You can absorb my energy and the Stone of Destiny I left behind. These will be of assistance to you. In addition, I can only buy you three days of time. No matter what, you cannot let Heaven succeed.

“Everything depends on you! You are the most unique of us all. I look forward to seeing everything end at your hands!”

The lights and images faded away. At the final moment, Wang Chong saw Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan looking at him with eyes that were brimming with hope.

Buzz!

Wang Chong’s mind returned to his body, and he once more saw the Celestial Emperor Palace, Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan’s body, and Master Guangcheng and Little Nightmare standing by it.

While Wang Chong was reading through Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan’s memories, Little Nightmare and Master Guangcheng had also seemingly finished with the memories the Yellow Emperor had left for them.

“Little Grass, Little Grass, I shouldn’t have left your side…”

Wang Chong saw Little Nightmare lying on the Yellow Emperor’s body and weeping.

Though he didn’t know what memories the Yellow Emperor had left for Little Nightmare, seeing this, Wang Chong understood that Little Nightmare probably understood the truth. In the end, the Yellow Emperor had used his own methods to save it.

Nearby, Master Guangcheng had his head raised, his eyes closed. But Wang Chong could see the two lines of tears leaking out from his tightly-shut eyes and flowing down his cheeks.

A man did not easily cry, unless his heart had been broken. At times, silent tears were even more heart-wrenching than loud wails.

“Disciple, go in peace. Your master will avenge you!” Master Guangcheng muttered.

“Hahaha!”

At this moment, loud laughter resounded through the Celestial Emperor Palace. Before anyone had time to react, the Celestial Emperor Palace shuddered, and with a massive boom, a terrifying energy collided against the palace like a meteor.
