Chapter 2132 - 2131: Wang Family Matters Concluded, Searching for the Sea of Time

Why challenge Heaven? It seems like a false proposition.

For freedom or the path to the peak of the Martial Path.

It seems to be a bit of both.

Xu Zimei thought for a moment and said, "There are many reasons, freedom, the peak of the Martial Path.

And perhaps, I was born an enemy of the Heavenly Dao, destined to be treated differently.

After all, the previous generation's Demon Lord was also notorious for challenging Heaven.

Of course, you might not have heard of the Demon Lord, since he wasn't from your era."

"Fate, huh? I do believe in it," the Primordial God-King replied.

"In fact, the challenge against Heaven did indeed start with me."

"I challenged Heaven in the pursuit of immortality, and the illusory and vast peak of the Martial Path."

"A long time ago, even during the Ancient Gods Seeking the Dao, an era more ancient than mine, the Ancient Gods pursued these too."

"However, their methods differed from mine; they did not challenge Heaven but sought through other means."

"For example, the Time Ancient God, who sought immortality by stopping time."

"And the Wood Ancient God, who delved into the path of life, believing that by reaching a state of selflessness, life could continue endlessly."

"But all these Ancient Gods failed," Xu Zimei said.

"Exactly, because they all failed, I believe they were going in the wrong direction."

"I think the key lies in challenging Heaven, for the reason for longevity comes from strength, and to gain greater strength, one must step out of this world.

It's a virtuous cycle."

"What happened later?" Xu Zimei asked.

"As I grew stronger, I could feel more the vast majesty of heavenly power and the expansive Great Dao."

"I never dared to break the spacetime barrier until later, when I proved the Dao at the Divine Demon Well and considered myself invincible, able to go anywhere."

"So I opened Pandora's box, stepping onto the path of breaking through the world's barriers.

That's when I encountered the Heavenly Dao Consciousness, the true dominator of this world."

"The outcome of that encounter you can probably guess: I thought myself invincible in the Great Dao, but the power of the Great Dao in its presence was like a speck of light, how could it contend with the full moon?"

"After you initiated the Heaven challenge, many tried to continue the exploration," Xu Zimei said.

"But without exception, they all failed."

"This path is impassable," the Primordial God-King shook his head and sighed.

"Enlightenment Men draw power from the Great Dao, how can they contend against it?"

"But what if one could be independent of the Great Dao?" Xu Zimei suddenly asked.

The Primordial God-King was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"Not by seeking the Dao from the Nine Domains, but from elsewhere," Xu Zimei said.

"Elsewhere? That's impossible," the Primordial God-King thought briefly before laughing.

"You think too simply; whether other worlds can rival the Nine Domains is a whole other story.

Even if you learn the Dao from another world, you'll ultimately be restrained by it.

To be independent of the Nine Domains' Dao is to be subject to some other Dao."

"Unless you can create a world's Great Dao of your own," the Primordial God-King said jokingly.

Xu Zimei did not respond to that, but instead said, "Anyway, I can handle the Evil God's matters; no matter what, I will still proceed with challenging Heaven."

"I do not agree with the Ancient Gods' path, I also believe that challenging Heaven is the ultimate destination."

...…

"I wish you success," the Primordial God-King nodded.

Soon, the world before his eyes began to fade, and the body of the Primordial God-King gradually disappeared.

This so-called space, it was originally set up by him as a warning for future generations.

Since Xu Zimei was confident, there was nothing more he needed to say.

...…

When Xu Zimei opened his eyes again, he had returned to King's City.

But now King's City was in ruins, with hardly any intact buildings left.

The people of the Wang Family stood there in anger and helplessness; though furious, they dared not provoke the Evil God.

Above the firmament, the Evil God arrogantly roamed the nine heavens, seemingly having enjoyed this feeling enough, descended from the sky.

He looked toward Xu Zimei, surrounded by an outburst of evil aura, his body purple, hair white, and eyes crimson.

He walked step by step toward Xu Zimei.

The people of the Wang Family held their breath, uncertain of what the Evil God intended to do next.

"I always keep my word; when you attack the Holy Court, I will surely come to aid you," the Evil God spoke, fulfilling a previous promise.

"Alright," Xu Zimei nodded.

The two formally reached an agreement; Xu Zimei was not worried about a change of heart.

After speaking, the Evil God prepared to leave but was stopped by Wang Xiu.

"Sir, you see…"

"What, want me to compensate you?" the Evil God asked plainly.

This Wang Family is useless, unable to break a formation after so many years, so the Evil God had no kind words.

"No, no," Wang Xiu quickly replied.

"Since the Evil God has appeared, I wonder if you would consider becoming a Guest Elder at our Wang Family.

We admire your prowess…"

Before Wang Xiu finished, he was interrupted by the Evil God.

"What nonsense, it looks like your Wang Family wants to bully others by flaunting powerful connections."

"If I leave, you won't be able to suppress the Cai Family, right?"

Wang Xiu smiled awkwardly, the Wang Family indeed harbored this intention.

Previously, with the deterrence of the Evil God, the breakthrough ancestor of the Cai Family dared not appear.

But once the Evil God leaves, with only his Three Flowers Realm strength, how could he contend?

Now the opportunity would be completely lost, and the Wang Family would rise no more.

This was unacceptable to Wang Xiu.

After all, the Wang Family labored for so many years; now with the Human Emperor gone, such opportunities were rare.

"Forget it, if you heed my advice, let the Wang Family be satisfied with a corner, this is your last chance.

I finally have my freedom, why get involved in your petty troubles," the Primordial Evil God waved dismissively.

Ignoring Wang Xiu's pleas, he soared away.

Wang Xiu, unwilling to give up, turned to Xu Zimei.

He quickly said, "Sir, our Wang Family gave you the Sea-Calming Pearl; you must help us!"

"If you had given me the Sea-Calming Pearl sooner, eliminating the Cai Family would be no problem."

Xu Zimei said indifferently.

"But this Sea-Calming Pearl was won by me defeating the Evil God in a bet, what does it have to do with your Wang Family?"

Xu Zimei ignored the pitiful man further.

He left with Lin Ruhu.

...…

In the void, Xu Zimei took out the Sea-Calming Pearl.

He intended to find the location of the Sea of Time.

Placing the Sea-Calming Pearl in his hand, space-time forces circled incessantly.

Under Xu Zimei's guidance, all the power within the Sea-Calming Pearl was unleashed.

Within the Sea-Calming Pearl, it transformed into the interior of a compass.

The hands of the compass spun continuously, finally stopping in the direction of the North.
