Chapter 368 - Curses (1/2)

The indescribably colossal giant's six 'Dao's sounded different; each 'Dao' contained their own meanings and powers as if they each resembled a unique principle of this world.

The six words rammed into Zhong Yue's mind. The 'Dao's were ringing and reverberating in his head, getting louder and more oppressive.

The galaxies around shuddered as the unknown being spoke and the light wheels started revolving. These six galaxies formed the whole Six Paths World, and the Six Paths World was a complete Six Paths Reincarnation!

When Zhong Yue heard the six 'Dao's and looked at the Six Path Reincarnations again, things changed completely in his eyes. Now, the six galaxies were not galaxies anymore, but an organic machine, giving and reaping life cyclically in all places.

In the Six Path World, there were uncountable planets that had billions of lives inhabiting it, totaling up to way beyond trillions of different, unique races!

The birth of countless beings in a second would invariably be concomitant with the same number of deaths. A delicate equilibrium between life and death, prosperity and poverty, as well as creation and destruction was continuously maintained in the Six Paths World. These souls of the dead were flashing across the whole Six Path World, into different stellar systems and planets to soon reincarnating into their next lives.

Zhong Yue could also see innumerable gods and demon gods, living on the unknown being's six hands. Grandiose buildings were raised in his hands, one that not even the concerted effort of the whole Ancestral Star could manage to build. Tall, endless, grand, imposing, solemn, and every other superlative couldn't begin to capture such buildings. The whole place looked as if it were the divine court.

The many gods lived in these six divine courts, managing the Six Paths of Reincarnation and overlooking the entirety of the Six Paths World.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation was so vast that the number of gods required to manage it was also incredibly large. Other than these six divine courts, there was also a similar but greater divine court on the giant's forehead. It was the heavenly palace in which the heavenly monarch that commanded this Six Paths World resided.

This was only one among the 3000 independent Six Path Worlds scattered throughout the universe.

"No, no, this isn't right. I've seen it from the imperial consort, the first Six Path World's Six Path Reincarnation was destroyed, and there are only five paths left, reincarnation is impossible now. But … why is this Six Path World so complete?"

Zhong Yue mumbled in shock, "This is definitely the first Six Paths World as I flew out from the Ancestral Star, but … the Six Paths World Ancestral Star I was in was destroyed. So, what is this? When did this happen?"

All of a sudden, a chill was sent down his spine, "What time is this? What year am I in?"

He was utterly confounded, if the Six Paths World had not been destroyed yet, then what era was he in now?

"Xin Huo! Xin Huo!"

But there was no reply from the little flame, not even a single sound. Zhong Yue was startled, he could no longer feel any trace of Xin Huo in his psyche, their connection had seemingly disappeared.

He was in complete shock, "This … is a hundred thousand years ago!"

The Six Paths World was destroyed a hundred thousand years previously, during the reign of the Reincarnation Monarch!

He had now returned to the time of the Reincarnation Monarch's reign!

"No, these are all illusions!"

Just as this thought crossed Zhong Yue's mind, a melancholic melody echoed out from the heaven court. The great Reincarnation Monarch had passed away, and the new heir was yet to be selected.

All of a sudden, there was a malicious-looking hand that came out of the void and slammed onto the heavenly palace. Countless gods were killed in just one strike while those that survived started to decompose and vanish into ash with their Yuan Shen vanquishing into thin air. The whole heavenly palace and the six divine courts were in a state of total destruction. The gods and demon gods were all aging at rapidly, turning into desiccated skeletons in just the blink of an eye, and soon, even the bones were disintegrating into ashes!

Zhong Yue was looking at it dumbfoundedly. Then, the giant who was sitting in the middle started to crack, a narrow slit appeared on his forehead, and a great existence walked out from his skull. Everywhere he went, the power of the Six Paths would vanish, and the Reincarnation would stop!

A whole galaxy was collapsing, and countless celestial bodies were destroyed. The delicate equilibrium was forcibly broken, and the life energy of this Six Paths World was being siphoned for a sacrifice for a blood ritual!

"I curse…."

The evil sounds reverberated through the whole world, cursing the Fuxi Celestial Race to be sealed forever, generation after generation, year after year. The seal in them shall follow them forever until the end of time and the death of the universe!

The voices reverberated around the sky and the verbal curses came into form as the seals, planted into the Fuxi Celestials and sealed their powers away.

"When the seals are broken, your soul will come to me!"

As the voice finished speaking, the Six Paths broke apart and so was the cycle of reincarnation. The Six Paths of Reincarnation was left in shambles, and the corpses of the fallen giants and the devastated divine courts and heaven palace were the only thing that remained.

Zhong Yue's blood turned cold, and he suddenly shivered, mumbling, "When the seals are broken, your soul will come to me? What does it mean?"

Suddenly, cold sweats burst out, and he yelled loudly, "Illusions! All of these are only illusions! Wake up, wake up now!"

The void was suddenly trembling, and a huge black eye emerged from the space of bright stars. It was a vertical slit, and suddenly, the silhouette of a man walked out from the huge eye toward Zhong Yue.

Zhong Yue was shivering like a frail calf, and a wave of great terror and fear washed over him, trying to crush his psyche, break his will, and seal his Yuan Shen and bloodline. It was an assault that struck directly at the mind!

Zhong Yue let out a ferocious roar, and he visualized the Sui Sovereign.

Behind him, the heavenly monarch's grand palace emerged while the Fire Sui Tree grew tall in front of the Flame Order Palace. Inside of the Flame Order Palace, the Sui Sovereign was sitting in the throne imperiously, and auric rays shone out in all domains as its saint fire burned vigorously, fighting against the oppression that seemed to strike at his soul!

"None shall be exempt from their rightful imprisonment…."

This time, the malicious voice echoed directly in his ears, permeating into his mind and forcibly dimming his visualized shining Flame Order Palace. The Fire Sui Tree stopped burning in saint fire, and the Sui Sovereign started to age quickly.

"These are all illusions! Images produced by the curse!"

Zhong Yue gritted his teeth tightly and focused his gaze on the incoming silhouette. He was still visualizing the Sui Sovereign, putting in all his might to fight against the great terror from destroying him!

The silhouette walked closer and closer to Zhong Yue while his body grew in size with every successive step. However, despite him drawing nearer, he was still shrouded in the darkness, like a black hole that sucked all light away.
