Chapter 944: There’s No Right or Wrong (1/2)

“There’s other treasures around?” Lu Yun blinked.

Heavenfall and Worldcarver were ultimate chaos treasures of the same level. They’d absorbed a constant stream of energy from the chaos, which put them far beyond even the Bell of Chaos—first of all connate treasures in the world—in terms of might and power. A treasure born of the chaos and filled with the energy of its home was far stronger than a treasure born of nature.

However, Heavenfall and Worldcarver were the only ones known by modern day beings now. Worldcarver was Pangu’s greatest treasure, and Heavenfall came by its fame due to the Flame Emperor of the human race. If there were any other treasures to be found in the general area, then it had to be on the same level as these two.

“Worldcarver appeared here as well,” Fuxi said softly when he looked at Lu Yun. “After the great god Pangu found Worldcarver here, he used it to subdue the great wilderness and destroy all of the realm monsters and akasha ghosts that invaded the world.”

“Just what are akasha ghosts?” Lu Yun asked once again in front of the Gates of the Abyss. “Zhi Guangji said that they’re manifestations of great emperor resentment, but the thing in Mount Buzhou that’s taken your place says that akasha ghosts are beings from the chaos and oppose our realm.”

On their way into hell, Ge Long, Qing Yu, and the little fox paused to look at Fuxi.

“Both explanations are right.” Fuxi nodded. “They’re both correct. Akasha ghosts are indeed the manifestations of lingering great emperor resentment, and they’re also creatures of the chaos. They are opposed to us because it pertains to their survival. If they want to live, they must destroy any world that is born in the chaos.

“They can live only in the chaos—the energy of a world is poison to them. What we mean by a world is the heaven and earth of the realm we operate in. A realm is such a wondrous thing. It grows without pause once it appears and continuously devours the chaos. If nothing changes about this situation, the boundless chaos that we are surrounded by will one day disappear, having been consumed into a vast world that stretches on without end.

“At that point, the creatures of the chaos will vanish completely, lacking even the chance to be reborn into a living being of the world. This is why they wish to destroy our realm. The akasha ghosts aren’t their true form either, just the shape they manifest in due to lingering malice and resentment after the countless wars we have waged throughout history.

“A myriad of worlds was once born in the chaos, and the creatures here employed a variety of methods to ensure that they all died or became their realm monsters to eradicate other burgeoning realms.

“There’s nothing right or wrong about their ways, it’s a simple difference in perspective. They desperately wish to survive, but so do we wish to live,” Fuxi murmured to himself. “There are survivors from the other worlds that once existed—Hongjun is one of them. Though his cultivation level exceeded creator realm, he was unable to preserve his homeland in the end.

“They made their moves when our world was first born. Many chaos realm demon gods flocked to their banner, betraying our realm and becoming cancerous tumors instead. That was why I made up my mind to locate Heavenfall and destroy them.” Here, Fuxi paused to look at Lu Yun. “You were too soft hearted… much of that poison remains.”

Lu Yun fell silent. He hadn’t been able to bear consigning all of the demon gods to oblivion.

“Asura’s extinction isn’t to balance out human dao, is it? He’s there to kill those who have turned traitor and serve the beings of the chaos?” He suddenly thought one of these details through.

“That’s right.” Fuxi nodded. Asura was one of their pieces, and they’d even been the ones to arrange for him stealing Arbiter’s opportunity in the Blood Sea.

The overwhelming obsession with annihilation in his heart didn’t belong to Asura or the Blood Sea, but to Arbiter. Arbiter and Eternal were indeed connate demon gods, but they were the same as Hongjun—survivors of a world that’d once existed in the chaos. However, their cultivation level was far inferior to Hongjun’s, so they could only be reborn as connate demon gods.
