Chapter 762: Wrecking Everything (1/2)

The divines were not sinners, they were heroes.

The divines were not sinners, they were heroes!

The divines were not sinners, they were heroes of the world of immortals and of all life!

A growing tide of horror and dismay roared beneath the heavens. Shrieks and bellows of incredulity and denial gradually morphed into remorse and regret.

“AHHH—“ A crippled dao immortal suddenly screamed and clutched his head, tossing and turning like a madman in the air. Two trails of blood streaked from his eyes as a restriction implanted deep in his soul shattered to pieces. Scenes of yesteryear surfaced in the mind of this ancient immortal who’d survived the last eighty thousand years.

“The divine race… I am… so… sorry…” he sobbed silently, heart writhing in agony.

……

“That’s right, the divines were never traitors and never a scourge…” In the skies above Truespirit Major, Yin Jiuying stood side by side with a reborn Jiang Chen. Both of them looked wide-eyed at the images projected in front of him.

“If even our memories were altered, do you think we stand a chance of victory at all?” Jiang Chen sighed.

“They only altered our memories and didn’t kill us. This means they don’t have the strength to kill us all.” Yin Jiuying swept a glance at the man. “Come what may, all will work itself out in the end. For us, anyway, life or death is just another form of existence.”

……

“I’d always thought that the divines betrayed us again a hundred thousand years ago. So the truth turns out to be this…” Goldenlight sighed. He’d been sealed during that time so his memories hadn’t been altered, but neither had he known anything about what had happened either. Everything he knew about the divines today had been gleaned from other immortals when he awoke.

“That’s strange, the divines once established their ancient divine court and erased the runes of immortal dao from the Dao Flower. They had divine dao replace immortal dao and conquered the world… so what of that, then? That doesn’t seem to have been refuted,” Goldenlight murmured curiously to himself, but also seemed to be asking Silverlight at the same time.

“Upon its founding, the immortal dao still lacked certain things. Therefore, the divine dao appeared on the petals of the Dao Flower to supplement what the immortal dao lacked,” Silverlight noted somberly, rediscovering the appropriate version of events. “The divine race has ever been the guardians of the world. When human dao ruled over the facets, they protected humanity instead.”

Confusion brimmed in Goldenlight’s eyes. “But they betrayed humans in the end and almost drove them to extinction.”

“Humanity was never in danger of extinction, what was annihilated was human dao and their hell that controlled the multiverse,” Silverlight corrected softly. “Humans then were domineering and tyrannical, and their dao the culmination of their brutality. Immortal dao would’ve never appeared if human dao never exited the stage.”

Goldenlight’s eyes widened from all the revelations and he stared agog at his dao partner.

No further disclosures were forthcoming. Silverlight looked warily at the bloody light intersecting over Levitating Island. If she spoke further, their home territory would likely be leveled.

……

Sword Divine floated dumbly in the air, speechless for a very long time and not knowing what to do with himself.
