535 Doomsday
“Is this the passageway that leads to the other world?” Himmel Soan stared at the black whirlpool and asked in a grim tone.
Passing the tests of the multi-space had almost cost him his life. Ever since then, Himmel Soan had been traveling the world.
Apart from recovering his strength, he was also searching for the Emperor’s trace.
The longer he searched, the more flustered he felt.
The Emperor had indeed left some traces behind, but they were invisible to ordinary people and were hence lost in history. Apart from Himmel Soan, no one could see them.
As he was wearing the Emperor’s Broken Jade from the multi-space, he was able to sense the traces left by him.
They were in the form of nine ruins, and each site was as dangerous as the multi-space. The test could easily kill a man.
However, he managed to pull through and collect all the broken jade pieces. He now had a completed Emperor’s Jade and had reached the Quasi-Emperor stage.
“Master!” Firey felt uneasy as she looked into the black whirlpool.
She had also come a long way and was most capable of being next to Himmel Soan.
She was the only one who could join him in battles because other people couldn’t withstand his power. In this world, Himmel Soan had reached an invincible stage.
“Based on what I found in ruins, the Emperor’s cultivation level has reached the upper limit that this world can contain. When the 365 monsters came to this world in ancient times, the Emperor single-handedly killed them. After that, he went into seclusion.
“He discovered the other world, which was where those monsters came from. This world is a farm created by that world, and we’re all under observation. At the end of each era, they would send monsters to destroy our world. After that, they would plant seeds and start a new cycle.”
That was recorded in the Emperor’s notes.
After discovering the secret, he went to the other world, trying to change the fate of his own world.
Many eras existed before his time.
This world had gone through numerous cycles. In each era, talented beings would be born, but none of the eras survived. The world was destroyed over and over again. New life forms would start from scratch, building a new civilization.
According to the Emperor, hundreds of civilizations had existed in this world before. Some developed their scientific technology, while others believed in magic or cultivation, but none of them survived.
This world had been destroyed hundreds of times.
To avoid the tragedy from happening again, the Emperor went to the other world.
This world should have been destroyed a long time ago.
Those monsters were the signs of the apocalypse. They were only scouts. An army of monsters from the other world would soon arrive.
However, they didn’t expect the existence of the Emperor, an invincible cultivator.
He killed 365 monsters all by himself, severing the link between the two worlds. Moreover, he even made his way to the other world, trying to change the fate of his own world.
Himmel Soan could imagine how fierce the battle must have been.
Because of Emperor, the other world hadn’t attacked this world for the past ten million years.
However, Himmel Soan knew the Emperor had failed in the end.
When he found the Emperor’s Broken Jade, he heard a sigh, which told him what happened to the Emperor.
He failed to destroy the other world and couldn’t end the cycle.
He only postponed doomsday for ten million years. Tomorrow, the other world would slaughter all creatures in this world, destroying everything.
Himmel Soan decided to go to the other world. He couldn’t let this world end. His friends were still alive. If this world ended, they would all be killed.
Himmel Soan wanted to follow the Emperor’s path, go to the other world, and end this cycle once and for all.
The black whirlpool was the entrance.
Realizing that he couldn’t destroy the other world, the Emperor left this portal, hoping someone would pick up the mission one day.
The multi-space and the trials were all set up by the Emperor before his death as a sign of hope.
“Firey, I’m going to the other world. You can’t come with me,” Himmel Soan said solemnly.
Firey stared at him in disbelief. “Master, are you leaving me behind?”
“Yes. You have to stay!” Himmel Soan wouldn’t give Firey a chance to say no.
This was very likely a one-way journey. Even Himmel Soan didn’t have the confidence to come back alive.
Even the Emperor had failed, which showed how dangerous the other world was.
Himmel Soan wasn’t as capable as the Emperor, so he would have an even slimmer chance.
He was ready to die in the other world.
Even if he couldn’t destroy that world, he would follow the Emperor’s steps and postpone the other world from attacking this one.
Firey would be the hope he left behind.
With Firey’s talent, she would eventually be the next Emperor and even rise beyond that, becoming an immortal that the Emperor himself could only speculate about.
Only an immortal could destroy the other world.
Himmel Soan didn’t have much time. The other world would launch the attack the following day. He had to go to the other side and stop those creatures from invading this world.
He didn’t have time to cultivate and had to leave Firey behind. While he fought over there, Firey would have enough time to cultivate.
Firey was so close to reaching the Quasi-Emperor stage. Given enough time, she could definitely reach the Emperor stage.
Himmel Soan wasn’t sure about her becoming an immortal being, but he hoped that would happen.
