Chapter 932 361: Walking the Path Alone

Fan Wubing stood at the entrance and gazed into the distance.

The Great Thousand Worlds appeared like a tree impossible to measure by time and space scales. The "roots" spread into the endless void, unseen in their entirety, while the "trunk" constantly emitted high-energy beams resembling lightning, essential for maintaining the stability of the Great Thousand Worlds. The snake-like twisting branches extending from the "trunk" collectively formed the Path of Eternity.

Every "leaf" connected to the Path of Eternity was a Small Thousand World.

And the number of such "leaves" was so vast that even Fan Wubing, who had become a True Monarch, couldn't count them.

It was even larger than the number of Blood Bars he could no longer see the end of or distinguish the measuring units for.

At this moment, he deeply felt the unbearably heavy and cruel fate imposed on the Great Thousand Worlds and numerous Small Thousand Worlds.

Because every Small Thousand World had a Destiny Worm.

Among this enormous number of Destiny Worms, selecting a "King" to reach the ultimate eternity, while all other Destiny Worms would become apostles crowning the "King" with final eternity.

Fan Wubing and the other two, in front of the Eternal Apostle as large as an Unshaped Star System, were smaller than dust.

Only at this moment did Fan Wubing seem to remember something and, smiling, asked Baili Yao Yue,

"Yao Yue, you came from outside, do you know what those outside call this Small Thousand World behind us?"

The two were connected in spirit, Baili Yao Yue smiled and countered,

"Do you really want to hear?"

How could she not know? Fan Wubing, whose Seven Luminaries Will was complete, surely knew, but just wanted to hear her say it personally.

"Of course."

Baili Yao Yue replied with a smile, "They call the Small Thousand World that gave birth to and nurtured you 'Eternal Cradle.'"

Jiang Ran, smiling, said to Fan Wubing, "They are certain you will become the ultimate eternity." She looked at the dense, layered Eternal Apostles, "These apostles are not here to destroy the Small World behind us, they're here… to welcome you."

"Exactly! I've grown up, I'm leaving the cradle, they have come to welcome me!" Fan Wubing suddenly turned back, trying to see the figure of Si Jiuyou on the Path to Immortality.

But she wasn't there.

Fan Wubing lowered his eyes slightly, "If the Eternal Apostles really wanted to destroy this Small Thousand World, they could easily do it, right?"

Baili Yao Yue nodded, "That's an evident truth. After all, they have accepted the essence of eternity, equivalent to being given privileges by fate."

"So…the war between celestial beings back then was actually a purge. Those celestial beings were incarnations of Eternal Apostles in the Small Thousand World." Fan Wubing gazed into the distance, as if reminiscing about something.

Baili Yao Yue knew what he wanted to say, so she said it for him,

"At that time, the Eternal Apostles didn't know your elder sister was here, they came only to clear Baiyang, Fuzi, and Shituo, these three criminals who reversed the Path of Eternity, to eliminate the root of disaster they left behind, creating a pure cradle for you. After your elder sister appeared, the Eternal Apostles merely waited quietly for your birth."

"Why?" Fan Wubing raised his head, taking in all the Eternal Apostles surrounding him.

Baili Yao Yue revealed a playful smile,

"Because they know that with Si Jiuyou present, you will certainly grow up smoothly."

In fact,

Once Fan Wubing entered the Great Thousand Worlds, his Seven Luminaries Will became complete, and as his knowledge level was no longer limited, he gradually understood these things.

Yet, actually hearing them spoken felt different.

Fan Wubing asked,

"You and my elder sister also came reversing the Path of Eternity, why are you not the criminals to be purged?"

Baili Yao Yue shrugged, "I haven't done anything, how could I be considered a criminal? As for your elder sister…" She gave a teasing smile, "Because the Eternal Apostles have no right to judge her. And she just happened to have eyes only for you."

Fan Wubing lowered his head.

Baili Yao Yue teased, "Is it suddenly heavy feeling? Initially thinking that after entering the Great Thousand Worlds, you could glimpse the whole picture, but found that everything was still under your elder sister's control."

Fan Wubing closed his eyes.

Baili Yao Yue and Jiang Ran crowded together, curious and nervous, watching him. Wanting to know how he would respond to such a situation.

Would he choose to compromise, accept the apostles' embrace, and ascend to the throne of ultimate eternity;

or follow his own will, never compromise?

Fan Wubing abruptly opened his eyes, the aura like a frozen lake, tranquil yet eerily cold,

"If I refuse to become the ultimate eternity, what would happen to this so-called 'Eternal Cradle'?"

Baili Yao Yue answered,

"Obviously, it would be obliterated. Because it lost its value of existence, and led to your rebellion."

"Rebellion…"

Baili Yao Yue laughed, "Yes. Accept, then you are the king embraced by the apostles, refuse, then you are the rebellious Demon King."

Blood-red threads twined around Fan Wubing as he laughed heartily,

"Since it's like this, isn't the answer clear already!"

Now it was Baili Yao Yue who was puzzled,

"Why?"

Jiang Ran saw those blood-red threads, immediately understanding something,

"Blood Calamity Death Immortal Technique!"

"What is that?" Baili Yao Yue was very curious.

"That's the Cultivation Technique Wubing practiced after officially stepping into Demon Dao."

"Cultivation Technique?" Baili Yao Yue became even more perplexed, "This thing should've long since lost its utility, right?"

Jiang Ran shook her head, "For ordinary people, it has definitely lost its function after overcoming the tribulation, but it's different for him. Blood Calamity Death Immortal Technique for him is not just a Cultivation Technique, but also a form of rebellion will."
