Chapter 1251 - 331: Hero of the Era

Chapter 1251: Chapter 331: Hero of the Era

Ning Zheng felt a mix of joy and helplessness.

What brought joy was, naturally, that all the points he added were knowledge.

No matter what, they wouldn’t go to waste, as they enriched his already weak foundation, Taoist Skills, and Divine Techniques, continually exploring the principles of the Great Dao.

The Immortal Venerable Changzhen, this person, now realized that the Path of the Oath Master was no longer viable and started researching the Auspicious Path, and the Path of Destiny...

Ning Zheng had originally intended to walk this path as the Golden God, and now, with the help of the Immortal Venerable Changzhen, his progress was remarkably rapid!

He felt that his proximity to the Path of Destiny had become quite close.

But right now, the most troublesome thing was...

"Could this person simply abandon the Path of the Oath Master and prepare to compete with me for the stronger seat of the Destiny Celestial Venerate?"

"I take a detour to block his path, and he turns to seize my path?"

No matter what, both sides were rapidly converging on the Path of Destiny.

Under the boundless and endless pressure of death, and with the aid of high-dimensional powerhouses from the infinite [past], both were making rapid progress.

Such an advantage of time, place, and harmony among people was rarely seen in ancient times.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The combat between the two sides grew fiercer, each strike delivering thousands upon thousands of attacks, like two meteor showers colliding, countless high-dimensional figures densely clashing together.

The world was instantly illuminated.

The opponent in their eyes seemed to be the only existence in the world.

The entire [future] world had almost completely collapsed, reaching an almost irreparable state.

At this moment, Ning Zheng’s Qi Fortune Value was rapidly decreasing, continuously consumed by high-frequency learning, leaving only 40 trillion.

He was about to reach his limit, his mind racing:

"At most, I can hold on for half a day more. If it’s still impossible, then I’ve done my best. I’ll have to abandon Xi Rong... and seek a way out in the prehistoric ages?"

...

Countless worlds away, the painter commanded shadowy assassin painters to wander the battlefield.

Rustle!

Secretly transporting back bodies of fallen Immortal Venerable Changzhen one by one.

He took out a drawing board, continuously sketching and painting, creating painter versions of Immortal Venerable Changzhen one after another.

"Help them summarize their experiences, organize their thoughts... paint Immortal Venerable Changzhen as experience packs to burn for them."

"As they said, how could you win without cheating?"

"During the short combat, they couldn’t possibly go from nothing to achieving the proof of the Great Dao."

"They have high-dimensional many me, so I’ll use painter many me to help them."

With that, he frantically sketched painting after painting, from which emerged refined and summarized versions of the painter Immortal Venerable Changzhen.

The only way to defeat the River of Time was to cheat like this.

Rustle.

Painter models were thrown over, for the three of them to burn.

And without the Firewood Divine Power, the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Venerate allowed the Xi Rong smith, who had the Firewood Divine Power, to burn and pass on to him through their connection by Firewood.

This method rapidly accelerated their process of Enlightenment, with endless knowledge pouring in, crashing into their minds like a tidal wave.

Three two-hour periods later.

Xin Xichen suddenly opened his eyes, his whole being engulfed in a blaze of firewood, radiating brilliant gold light.

In the flames, countless words transformed into the language of oaths.

Countless words of treaties, marriage contracts, alliances, business contracts... innumerable delicate and dense words flowed endlessly.

He took his path, touched upon a bottleneck, and perceived the legendary true meaning.

Boom!

The golden flames suddenly erupted, igniting a raging fire.

"Very well, I have finally arrived at this day." Xin Xichen showed a hint of excitement, as he was on the cusp of achieving Immortal Venerate of True Immortal Great Perfection:

"Celestial Phenomenon..."

He gazed distantly at the sky, at another battlefield.

In reality, an individual Immortal Venerate could prove to be Celestial Phenomenon Immortal Venerate, and True Immortal Perfection could also prove to be Celestial Phenomenon Immortal Venerate... after all, the essence of Celestial Phenomenon Immortal Venerate is Immortal Venerate.

"Here I come."

With a burst of laughter, a head of brilliant flaming golden hair reflected the most dazzling light between heaven and earth as Xin Xichen took a step forward. ℯℯ𝑙.

...

On the other side.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Venerate opened his eyes and slowly stood up.

His eyes flickered rapidly, countless pasts flashing through his mind—friends, partners, family, and his younger self.

In a trance, it was as if he saw a boy with rosy lips and gleaming white teeth walking among flowers and grasses, across open fields.

Smelling the sweet songs of birds and flowers, the gentle and kind boy, holding an injured old deer, carefully bandaged it, speaking of ideals,

"In the future, I must ensure you are no longer hunted."

"The creatures of heaven and earth shouldn’t live in constant fear. I want to establish a peaceful connection between humans and the Ten Thousand Beasts, fairness, and friendly relations..."

As the boy pursued his dreams, step by step, he became a True Immortal Perfection, traversing various Rivers of Time, advocating his great ideals.

As he sat on the throne, the aloof Immortal Venerates cast their gaze upon him.

"That guy, he’s become really soft."

"Let’s change his character."

"Covered in fur and horns, those born of eggs and moisture, they don’t belong with us??"

The gears of time were rewound.

The time of his childhood emergence was rewritten.

A great and valiant man led him by the hand and raised him. He became neither kind nor close to beasts, turning into the ruthless True Immortal of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Capturing, purchasing, enslaving...

His beast-taming methods transformed into the subjugation of lackeys, the control of slaves, sucking their blood.

Friends became a network of interests.

He had no idea that the once kind-hearted and tearful boy had long become the slave master he hated most.

Later, he became the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Venerate of the Immortal Realm, buying races, enslaving civilizations, turning into the world’s largest slave trader and war fanatic.

Countless nearly vanished fragments of life flashed by in his mind.

A burning flame of determination flared in his eyes, rekindling the dream of his youth,

"Trust? These prehistoric scum, how dare they presume to have trust?"

"This time, I will establish true trust."

"I want true trust between friends. I will use oaths to establish a great era of equality among the creatures of heaven and earth!"

The sensitive and kind gentle boy of the past also ignited with endless rage, involuntarily shouting:

"You damn bastards, return my life to me!!!" Endless information surged forth as the boy, tears streaming down his face, took a step forward.

In the distant past, across countless parallel timelines, the scarred old deer, the battered white rabbit, the eagle that once stood on his shoulder, suddenly shed tears.

"It’s him, he’s back."

A clap of thunder passed, and people saw the face of that crying boy at the end of time.

Countless adorable little animals from different timelines cried uncontrollably, singing the song of the forest together. A faint voice spread from the sky, countless colorful butterflies soaring up,

"When the cradle of fiction shatters, the child of the forest will wake anew as a hero~ our king, King of the Ten Thousand Beasts~"

My dream of youth shall set sail anew on this day.
