Translator: 549690339

That was a possibility!

The high officials’autobiographies had once said that the so-called coincidences were, in fact, more profound arrangements.

That was why the stone stele realm had become a chessboard. No matter how powerful the Xuanchen Emperor was, he was still no match for the Imperial Emperor. However, he was able to accurately arrange for his children to appear in front of him.

Furthermore, he had formed his own will within the stone stele realm, and his own soul. To reach his current level… was all of this really just a coincidence.

Was it possible that within each of the 100,000 worlds formed by the 100,000 clones of the Imperial Emperor, there was a version of himself that existed within each of the 100,000 worlds.

!!

This war with the Emperor has been going on from the beginning to the end. I thought that I was special, but in fact… in every unending sub-region, I have myself. I am only one-hundredth of the original Blackwood Spike!

This guess and thought caused Wang Baole’s mind to tremble violently. In that instant, the universe within his body began to shake and show signs of instability.

Waves of black fog spread out from Wang Baole’s seven orifices and gathered into the starry sky..

In his mind, countless voices of his own gathered together, forming a roar that shook his soul.

“You are only one part of a hundred thousand

“Your success and failure are meaningless

“Whether you can leave or not, you will be absorbed by your true form. You… are only a thought of your true form

“Isn’t that absurd? This… is the truth!”

“That’s the truth. No matter how hard you try, no matter how hard you fight, it will be useless. The battle between your true form and the Emperor has been going on for countless years, forming countless universes. Have you seen the battle between the ancient Immortals and the immortals? The battles that have been going on for countless generations in countless reincarnations. This is a battle between mighty figures!”

“What are you? It’s just a thought from your true form!”

These voices converged and rumbled, forming a raging wave. It erupted in Wang Baole’s mind, as if it wanted to drown him within. It spread throughout the galaxy within Wang Baole’s body, as if it wanted to shake him from his foundation, destroy him.

This was the destruction of the Dao. What Freedom? If one’s own existence was just a thought from others, then the so-called freedom was self-deception. The so-called freedom was just nonsense!

Wang Baole’s mind rumbled even harder. It was as if lightning had struck, and he began to struggle. What he was thinking wasn’t whether the thought was real or fake, but why he was like this!

Something isn’t right. Something is very wrong. Why did I suddenly have this thought, this guess..

Why did this guess, the moment it appeared, shake my mind so strongly? Even if that was the case, I shouldn’t have been so shaken

Wang Baole’s body trembled. His expression was twisted, and the black fog above his head grew thicker. This scene shocked Zhou Xiaoya and Zhao Yameng, as well as the donkey, second senior brother, and Xiaowu, who stood in front of Wang Baole, their expressions changed drastically.

“Mental demon!”Second Senior Brother said suddenly. He had attained the dao through incense offerings, and he had his own unique understanding. What he saw at that moment was clearly the mental demon seizing Wang Baole’s body!

In his anxiety, second senior brother approached in an instant. He raised his right hand and pressed it on Wang Baole’s shoulder, trying to share the burden. However, in an instant, his body trembled violently, and his body turned blurry as he took a few steps back.

“This is possession!”Little Five seemed to have realized something as well. He exclaimed in shock. A white light flashed from the mask in Wang Baole’s arms, and Little Missy’s figure materialized. With anxiety, she raised her hand and pressed it between Wang Baole’s brows.

However, at the moment of contact, Little Missy’s body trembled as well, and she took a few steps back.

Both she and second senior brother were unable to stop her at all. The Black Fog on Wang Baole’s body dissipated even more, and the black fog gathered even thicker above his head.

At the same time, a strong gust of wind blew in the surroundings. The Blazing Flame ancestor, who had left to rest, descended in an instant. Eldest senior sister and Old Bull also materialized in an instant. Their expressions changed drastically, and anger appeared in the blazing flame ancestor’s eyes, he raised his left hand and pressed it against the top of Wang Baole’s head. His eyes widened, and he let out a low growl.

“How dare you use Demonic Thoughts!”As he spoke, he unleashed his curse. His right hand formed an incantation gesture, and he pointed at the black fog that had gathered above Wang Baole.

However, the instant he pointed, the black fog churned rapidly, and a blood-red color surged out of it. As it dyed the fog red, the illusory image of a centipede flashed, and it charged toward the blazing flame ancestor’s finger.

The collision caused the blazing flame ancestor’s body to shake violently. He took three steps back, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. His killing intent exploded. He looked at the blood-red centipede within the blood-red fog. After the collision, the centipede had retreated quite a bit, as he looked at the blazing flame ancestor, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

“It’s You!”The blazing flame ancestor’s killing intent grew even stronger. He had learned of the existence of the blood-red centipede from Wang Baole’s Dao rhythm. Now that he had witnessed it with his own eyes, the curse that had accumulated in his body was about to erupt.

The blazing flame ancestor could tell that the blood-colored centipede didn’t actually exist. However, it had a connection with Wang baole that no one else could destroy. Only Wang Baole could cut it off. If he were to forcefully interfere.., the only thing left was… The Curse!

Based on what the blazing flame ancestor knew at that moment, if he were to risk the curse and perish together with his opponent, it would be worth it. After all, he was already so old. It didn’t matter whether he lived or died. However, Wang Baole was still so young.., how could he just watch as he was possessed.

The churning power of the curse in the blazing flame ancestor’s body finally made the blood-colored centipede wary. However, just as the blazing flame ancestor was about to unleash his curse, suddenly… a hoarse but determined voice rang out, it reverberated throughout the area.

“Thank you, master. I’ll do it myself.”The person who spoke was Wang Baole. His eyes were wide open, revealing traces of blood. His eyes were clear as he raised his head to look at the blood-colored centipede above his head.

The blood-colored centipede was visibly shaken, and it looked at Wang Baole in shock.

“You actually woke up on your own? Have you figured it out? This is indeed beyond my expectations…”

“I’ve figured it out,”Wang Baole said calmly. The cultivation in his body exploded, and he raised his right hand and punched out.

This punch instantly sucked in the Spirit Qi from the Solar System, forming a black hole-like existence. It tore through the sky and Earth with an earth-shattering force, drowning the blood-colored centipede in an instant.

The blood-colored centipede didn’t seem to exist, so outsiders couldn’t harm it. However, Wang Baole himself had karma with it, so his attack could form a true power to the blood-colored centipede.

As a loud boom rang out, his cultivation erupted, reaching the combat strength of the universe-grade within the stone stele realm. In an instant, the blood-colored Centipede’s body was torn apart. The fog dissipated, but it didn’t die. What was there was just its divine thought.

“Interesting, Wang Baole. Next Time… I’ll definitely succeed!”After saying that, the fog completely dissipated, and the surroundings returned to normal. With the concern of the blazing flame ancestor and the others, Wang Baole comforted the centipede, as exhaustion surfaced on his face, the blazing flame ancestor left. Zhao Yameng and Zhou Xiaoya also left with their worries.

Only Xiao Wu and the donkey stayed by Wang Baole’s side. Wang baole sighed softly and raised his head to look at the distant starry sky.

He had indeed come to a realization. It didn’t matter if his previous thoughts were true or false. He… was himself.

Furthermore, it wasn’t impossible for the stone stele world to be used as a chessboard.

There had been three major changes that had occurred in the stone stele world. One had been the entry of the ancient era, which had affected the evolution of the place. The other had been Luo’s seal, which had formed the dark sect and changed the structure of the place, the other was the crack that Wang Yiyi’s father had created outside the stone tablet realm, which had allowed the father and daughter to enter.

Little Missy had then drawn pictures to describe all living things, which had interfered with the normal development of the place. That was how the stone tablet realm had been created. These… couldn’t be replicated, so they had to be the only one.

“This realm is my anchor. No matter what the truth is, it’s the only one, and I’m the only one!”Wang Baole’s gaze slowly calmed as he spoke calmly to the nervous little five behind him.

“Little Five, you can cause changes in the time around you, making the things of the past truly appear strange. I want to gain some insights, and I need your cooperation. In return, I will do my best to send you home in the future, Okay?”
