939 What One Imagines Becomes Reality (2/2)
Yun Chuxiu sighed and was clearly worried and lacking vigor. She said, ”I really don't want to go, but I also want to find out the Great Void's real nature.”
The boat slowly floated and moved towards the north of the celestial heavens. Qin Mu probed her, ”Is the Great Void really as terrifying as everyone says? If you have been there, why not tell us about the pitfalls there so that we can be prepared, Empress.”
Yun Chuxiu hesitated and said, ”I have been there. I led the celestial heavens' Divine Warrior Guards there, which numbered a hundred thousand. Two out of the four heavenly masters of the celestial heavens also went along on top of my proud students to explore the Great Void.”
Qin Mu's heart jumped. The Divine Warrior Guards were one of the celestial heavens' ten guards, along with the Feathered Forest Guards. Those who were selected for it were the strongest gods and devils who had experienced hundreds of battles!
He saw the warriors of the Feathered Forest Guards on the ghost ship. Each one of them was a being that had at least reached the Jade Capital Realm!
The Divine Warrior Guards that Celestial Empress led to explore the Great Void probably planned to occupy it on top of exploring it!
”The Great Void is a ruin in the universe. It's a Halo Zone. When one enters, one will discover that it's a unique place full of new things.”
Yun Chuxiu rested against his shoulder, recalled what happened, and whispered, ”Then, weird things happened as soon as we entered the Halo Zone. All sorts of weird things. There were all kinds of imaginary creatures there.”
She frowned and said, ”We were struck by all sorts of peculiar events and suffered heavy casualties. Only one out of ten people in the Divine Warrior Guards survived. Even I and the other two heavenly masters were heavily injured. It was only then that Heavenly Master Yue suddenly comprehended the secrets of the Great Void. What one imagines becomes reality.”
Qin Mu's heart shuddered. ”What one imagines becomes reality? The meaning of this Heavenly Master Yue was…”
”His meaning was that what killed the soldiers of the Divine Warrior Guards were the terrors and fears we imagined in our hearts. They became reality in the Great Void.”
Yun Chuxiu continued, ”Somebody imagined being killed by lightning, so terrifying lightning struck. Somebody imagined a devil with a thousand heads and ten thousand hands killing him, so such a devil appeared. Somebody feared that the sky would collapse, so a planet fell from the sky. All sorts of terrors struck, which crushed the celestial heavens' strongest army. We had to leave before we found out the Great Void's true nature. Ultimately, it's only I who walked out of it alive but heavily injured. The other two heavenly masters, however…”
She sighed and said, ”The two heavenly masters were extremely wise and intelligent beings and also great warriors endowed with the Emperor's Throne. Unfortunately, neither of them survived.”
Qin Mu closed his eyes.
Yun Chuxiu's tale was truly horrifying. Was the Great Void really such a terrifying place?
”What was the terror that heavily injured you, Empress?” Qin Mu asked.
”Celestial Emperor, the real one.”
Yun Chuxiu's face was filled with horror as she said with a hoarse voice, ”I killed him, but I fear him the most! In the Great Void, he reappeared and charged towards us. I was scared…”
She shivered repeatedly in fear.
Qin Mu suddenly asked, ”So how did the two heavenly masters and other lucky survivors die? If Heavenly Master Yue had already comprehended the Great Void's secret and knew that what one imagines becomes reality, he would have certainly restrained people to not think, right? It should be easy for beings of their class, right? Why, then, did they all die in the Great Void while only you survived?”
Yun Chuxiu revealed a pure smile whose beauty touched people's hearts. She even lifted her chest. The shirt was tight at her collar, and the beauty within was close to being unleashed. She said, ”What are you trying to say, Celestial Venerable Mu?”
Qin Mu ignored her seduction and smiled. ”What I'm trying to say is that in that big terror, the surviving warriors of the Divine Warrior Guards had already lost their rationality and were panicking. Meanwhile, you didn't know others' thoughts, and the best way to survive was to kill the others so they could no longer think. What was imagined became reality, so as long as they were dead, they could no longer think.”
His gaze was focused on this young lady's delicate features as he slowly said, ”Thus, you killed them. You killed everyone, including the two heavenly masters, because you couldn't trust them. It was by this method that you survived to leave the Great Void.”
Yun Chuxiu laughed, and her breasts jiggled as she said, ”We are of the same kind, Celestial Venerable Mu! You guessed the method I used to leave the Great Void immediately! You and I might be the real one true pairing!”
Qin Mu ignored her allures and plainly said, ”Empress, we aren't a pairing, and we will never be of the same kind. I would never abandon my companions, let alone kill them! I'm just used to the darkness and was thus able to figure out your malicious nature.”
Yun Chuxiu coldly smiled. ”Celestial Venerable Mu, you are too idealistic! They weren't my companions, they were just my slaves and servants. Either they died, or I died, so of course, they were the ones who died! If you were in the same situation as me, your choice would be the same! You and I are of the same kind! Maybe not now, but for sure in the future!”
Qin Mu frowned.
The boat exited the Northern Heavenly Gate. They went above the celestial river, and beneath them were the celestial heavens' barracks, Fomalhaut. There were countless gods, devils, and fleets that were stationed there as heavens orbited the Fomalhaut. These heavens supplied the Fomalhaut with rations and other supplies.
Qin Mu looked at this barracks, whose divine light beamed into the skies for millions of miles.
The celestial heavens was too powerful. Without even talking about the ten guards of the celestial heavens, even Fomalhaut was enough to annihilate Eternal Peace thousands of times over!
”Ever since I revealed the secret of the Great Void, the celestial heavens began to come up with various techniques to prevent one from thinking. Amongst those, the most famous one is Buddhism's Neither Thought nor No Thought.”
Yun Chuxiu said, ”Neither Thought nor No Thought allows one's thoughts to exist in limbo and prevents the Great Void from turning it into reality. This was a technique created by Brahma. Have you learned it?”
Qin Mu shook his head.
Yun Chuxiu revealed an enthralling smile and saw a halo appear in the night sky.
Luo Wushuang walked towards them and solemnly asked, ”So, what does Celestial Venerable fear the most?”
Qin Mu turned around and replied with a smile, ”I am Overlord Body Qin, I have no fears. What is your greatest fear, Divine Knife Luo?”
”With my divine knife in my hands, I have nothing to fear,” Luo Wushuang plainly replied.
