Chapter 856: Black Hole (1/2)

“Yes, I am indeed talking about eliminating the connate demon gods.” Fuxi sighed, holding Lu Yun’s gaze. “And I know I’ve already succeeded.”

That gave Lu Yun pause. He was reminded of the human dao era, when great emperors ruled the world. Although there’d been those who exceeded the great emperor realm then, their numbers were very limited. In comparison, the great wilderness today saw a great abundance of chaos realm powerhouses.

“Those bodies… are they your handiwork?” Lu Yun pointed at the stars in the cosmos.

“They were generals and soldiers of the celestial court who served Taiyi,” Fuxi relayed with an almost melancholic air. “Taiyi established his court not to conquer this realm and its various living souls, but to protect the world.

“He recruited countless powerful beings both within and without the great wilderness to build an army. They went after the realm monsters in space and waged a terrible war. These stars are the great beings who died in those battles.

“There are exceedingly few real stars in the cosmos. The four symbols and twenty-eight mansions revolve around the great wilderness, as well as the three hundred and sixty-five stars in the multiverse, along with the Taiyin and Sun Stars.”

Lu Yun stared at space in disbelief. Most of the twinkling stars he saw from the ground were transformed from the dead experts of this world… Just how many of them were there?!

“How… how many such great beings are there in the great wilderness?” he asked despite his hesitation.

“Many.” Fuxi looked up at the stars. “Upon the genesis of this world, there were as many connate demon gods as there are currently living souls in the great wilderness. Over the past hundreds of millions of years, countless powerful beings have been born in this world, and just as many of them have passed away.

“This is all because of the realm monsters.

“But the connate demon gods of today have thrown themselves under the realm monsters’ banner, becoming fiends who wreak havoc all over the realm for them. This is why the demon gods must be excised!” Hatred blazed in Fuxi’s eyes and twisted his face.

“If not for them, the Great Pangu wouldn’t have perished and my parents wouldn’t have suffered their great injuries! Taiyi would be alive, and God wouldn’t have been forced to sacrifice his life for an intangible future he can neither see nor touch!

“The realm monsters must be eliminated, but so must the connate demon gods!”

Lu Yun nodded in agreement, doubting not a single world of what Fuxi said. The fact that Great Yi’s tomb had transformed into a hero’s barrow under the influence of connate feng shui layouts, signaling a great sacrifice for all life, was telling enough.

“Well then, there’s something I must do,” Fuxi said while looking at Lu Yun’s eyes, carefully enunciating his next words. “If I fail to return, you will be the ruler of Mount Buzhou and the emperor of the human race.”

“What are you going to do?” Lu Yun’s heart sank, it didn’t bode well that Fuxi would entrust such a mantle to him.

“I go to fulfill my duty, of course.” Fuxi smiled. “Worry not, I will be fine. I won't die before the connate demon gods have been erased from this world.

“Remember what I told you and become the emperor of the human race. I believe you already knew which emperor I mean.”

“Wait!” Lu Yun stopped Fuxi mid-departure. “How do I return to my time?”

“You will naturally return after a hundred years.” With that, he disappeared.

Only then did the little fox pop out of Lu Yun’s robes and clutched at his collar. “You have to take me with you when you go back, I don’t want to be left in this era!”
