Vol 23 Chapter 35 (1/2)

Book 23, Endwar, Chapter 35 – The New Three Realms

The faces of the htly Suhbuti, Maitreya, Jade Cauldron, Kuafu, Sun Wukong, and the others all hesitated before answering They wanted to refuse…but just now, both alliances had worked together to defeat Old Man Yuan Keeper Everwood had gone so far as to unhesitatingly sacrifice his own life by detonating his own body

Quite a few major powers of the Nuwa Alliance had been very close to Everwood Subhuti and the already-deceased Tathagata and Three Purities…they had all been very good friends with Keeper Everwood For theht after Keeper Everwood had died for the Three Realms…it really wasn’t very appropriate

But!

Although they felt confident that the Lord of All Fiends wasn’t a warer, who could say what the future would hold? When the Seaave birth to new overlords in the future, who could say ould happen? If the Seamless Gate was permitted to stay in the Three Realms, they would continue to be a potential source of trouble It was entirely possible that in the future, a neould once more erupt

“Darknorth, what do you think?” Buddha Maitreya spoke out, causing all the

Ji Ning was now the unquestionably most powerful expert of the Three Realms He now had the power to dominate all others, much like Mother Nuwa before hiht than before

“They can rejoin the Three Real nodded

“What?” Subhuti and the others stared towards Ning in astonishment

The Lord of All Fiends and the others were all shocked and overjoyed For the Lord of All Fiends to venture through the dangers of the pri, but the other major powers and the Seamless Gate’s Empyrean Gods and True Immortals were far too weak Life in the Three Realms would be better by far

“However…you alla jade globe

“A lifeblood oath?”

The lobe in Ning’s hands

“Is that an oathstone?” The Lord of All Fiends was shocked

“Yes” Ji Ning nodded

“Then today, the troubles of the Three Realhed Why was it that the various organizations of the vast primordial chaos were able to remain so unified? It was because of lifeblood oaths! Even the most durable of faiths and proe of time, after all Only the compulsive power of lifeblood oaths was truly eternal

Right there in the Void, before the corpse of Old Man Yuan, the major powers of the two alliances set down and swore the Three Realms Oath

After all of thetheir lifeblood oaths, the atmosphere between the two alliances immediately became noticeably friendlier

“Ji Ning” Subhuti pointed at the corpses of thearound in the Void “We can’t just let their corpses continue to float around like that”

“Right” Ning nodded

“I think…Holyflame” Subhuti turned his head to look at Daofather Holyflame “Let us cremate theain Allfiend, what do you say?”

“Agreed” The Lord of All Fiends nodded slowly

Generally speaking, corpses of ht plunder their graves or perhaps even go so far as to refine their corpses into treasures For example, when the Three Realms slew the alien Outsider known as Rahu, they had used his corpse to create multiple different treasures such as the Rahu Bow

Daofather Holyflaer

Whooooosh

A dazzling, sacred white flaer This was the holy flame which Daofather Holyflame had devised, a flame that was far more powerful than the samadhi truefire he had once used It was still so Godfire, or the Eternal Kindlefire, but since these corpses weren’t as tough as top-grade Protocosh to cremate them

The corpses of the Ian to blaze with that pristine, holy white fire

Ji Ning, Subhuti, Allfiend, and the others all watched silently Their hearts were all filled with grief Far, far too many of their friends and brothers had died on this day

“Life and death are part of a cycle,” Subhuti said softly “Although they have died, the Three Realet them”

“The Three Sovereigns of Mankind – Suiren, fuxi, and Shennong…” The Lord of All Fiends nodded “Tathagata…Three Purities…”

“Everwood…Jue…Devilhand…”

“They will becoends The humans…the Buddhists…the Daoists…the Sea creatures of the world…they shall sing about theenerations to come”

Ning nodded slowly as well

They were the forefathers, the ones who had ensured that this world of theirs would survive and prosper

It didn’t matter what the future held in store for the human race It didn’t ive birth to a new chaosworld Hundreds of chaos cycles could go past, but so long as the human race continued to exist, it would still forever rens who had protected theuided them in the earliest, weakest days
