1308 I Have No Regrets!
The wind came from the mountains and seas!
It blew through space and time, through the boundary of the world, from the human world to the Divine Realm, from Wanggu to the Northern Immortal, and landed on the vortex below the three gods.
Thunder rumbled throughout the Divine Realm, as though there was an invisible cutting force. Bearing the karma of tens of thousands of years, the promise made in time slashed out with a shocking sharpness, shattering the void here.
A huge rift showed up in the sight of the three gods.
That rift stretched endlessly, lying across the vortex. it resembled an open eye from afar, evoking a sense of grandeur and vastness.
The wind howled out of the rift and swept in all directions like a flower, landing in the cold eyes of the three gods.
At this moment, the selection of the Mountains and Seas that they were watching… was finished.
In the rift was the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race’s Mountains and Seas Region. In the center was Jiuli Land.
The entire Jiuli Land caved in, revealing the sealed spider shrine underground.
However, the brilliance of the shrine was already covered in dust. The spider god inside also trembled intensely and was withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
What withered wasn’t only Its flesh and blood but also Its karma, even Its time was silently decaying.
Everything was gradually taken away by the hand in front of It.
It was a black bony hand. The owner of the hand was wearing a black robe. The robe on his body fluttered and covered his face, but it couldn’t hide the ancientness of his body.
He stood in front of the spider god, and his withered hand gradually gained flesh and blood, while the spider god became increasingly shriveled.
It clearly tried to struggle, but Its fate had been decided. Everything was in vain.
In the end, when It turned into ashes and dissipated into the world, that hand seemed to transform from death and returned from time. It gained a bloody hue and became full.
At this moment, the wind swept up his robe, revealing his long gray hair and an aged face.
With the passage of time, he looked neither human nor ghost.
However, as he absorbed everything from the spider god, one could still vaguely see the same elegance as the ancient statue standing in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race from the wrinkled face that was gradually showing flesh and blood.
That was the Great Magistrate who had unified the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race tens of thousands of years ago and was worshiped by all!
He looked up and down, as though he was staring at the history of the race on this land.
He saw the Flame Moon’s rise, the fight with the myriad races, the numerous battles with the human race, the protection of the three gods, and above all, he saw the formidable position of the Flame Moon in Wanggu.
As his gaze swept across, sensing history and condensing past and present, his aura surged more and more, growing stronger and denser, ultimately spreading across the entire Mountain and Seas Region, affecting the Flame Moon’s homeland, causing the heavens and earth to change color, and stirring up great winds and clouds.
All the cultivators of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race felt their bloodlines resonating at this instant. This was especially so for the three magistrates. They walked out of their large tents with shocked expressions and looked at the Mountains and Seas, sensing their ancestor who had walked out of history.
To the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, this Great Magistrate who had once unified the race had a status no different from a god.
They all worshiped him.
Amidst the worship of the entire race, the gaze of this returning Great Magistrate shifted away and landed on the sky.
After that, he lifted his feet and walked toward the sky, toward the rift.
What he absorbed from the spider god wasn’t only flesh and blood and time but also… the authority of the Divine Realm.
This authority followed his footsteps and shifted to his fate. It enhanced his fate and perfected his deficiencies. It would also revive the sparks that had been extinguished for tens of thousands of years.
Just like that, he walked over step by step. Regardless of his status or life level, they were all sublimating until he walked into the Divine Realm from the rift and arrived in front of the three gods.
He looked at the three gods and spoke in a hoarse voice.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
This voice was like heavenly lightning that scattered through the Divine Realm and landed in the vortex.
Xu Qing fell silent. He recognized the other party’s identity and also felt the sadness left behind by time in the magus repository.
He had witnessed that betrayal clearly in Jiuli’s memories…
Now, the cause and effect of the betrayal seemed to be clearer.
Outside the vortex, the Sun and Moon God remained silent as the Great Magistrate walked over. The Star God looked at the vortex and calmly spoke.
“Then, let’s begin.”
When the Great Magistrate heard this, his gaze landed on this Divine Realm.
“I had a question back then. I want to ask it today.”
“According to the three of you, this Divine Realm was your former hometown. In that case, the tainted divine creatures here are all your former citizens. Are you… willing to part with them?”
“The Northern Emperor has died and the karma is over. He is us, but we aren’t him.” The one who answered was the Moon God.
The Great Magistrate stopped talking.
The Sun God’s voice carried vast might as it pierced through the void from the Divine Realm and echoed in this world.
“The ancient isn’t empty, shining upon the wilderness, asleep until now, the source dissipating through time.”
“The star ring has gained, all are his children, the myriad realms are moved, all call him father.”
“Today, the children of the Northern World, Sun, Moon, and Star offer five sacrifices to father god!”
The Sun God’s voice rose and fell, rumbling through the Divine Realm. Every word caused the Divine Realm to tremble. When they were connected, it caused a drastic change in Wanggu.
After that, a large sun rose into the sky.
The Moon God closed Her eyes. Bright moon shone in the sky and the Star God opened Her eyes, replacing the sky of the Divine Realm with endless stars!
The three gods were actually going to sacrifice to the fragmented-face!
At this moment, it was no longer the wind but a storm… had arrived.
In the vortex below, the emperor’s corpse that was watching all of this also trembled. The captain inside laughed wildly.
As for Xu Qing, he understood everything!
The three gods’ motives were completely revealed!
They wanted to offer sacrifice to the god’s fragmented-face in exchange for the fragmented-face opening Its eyes and looking at the Divine Realm they were in!
With a glance from the fragmented-face, a forbidden zone would appear. If It looked at the forbidden zone, the forbidden zone would transform into a forbidden region. If It looked at the forbidden region, the forbidden region would transform into a Divine Realm!
However… what if It looked at the Divine Realm!
Xu Qing had obtained the answer to this question on the Red Moon.
That was, the Divine Realm would ascend and become the Divine World!
Once this happened, as the masters of the Divine Realm, They would definitely ascend with the Divine Realm!!
Coupled with the captain’s previous words, Xu Qing already understood the path of the three gods.
They wanted to borrow the identity of the master of the Divine Realm to cross the entire tribulation fire stage in one step and directly reach the flawless stage.
This way, They wouldn’t suffer a tribulation like the Crimson Goddess and the spider god, and with the completion of Their fates, the path to the divine platform would also be opened!
As long as They accumulated enough in the future, They had hopes to reach the divine platform!
This was a huge and astonishing opportunity, but it was also extremely terrifying and dangerous.
Back then, Crimson Goddess also failed.
However, the three gods were different from the Crimson Goddess.
In the case of Crimson Goddess, it was a passive encounter, while the three gods were actively seeking It out.
One was unprepared and the other had planned for tens of thousands of years.
“Such a big move!”
Xu Qing’s expression changed. Back then, because his cultivation was too weak, he couldn’t intervene at this level, “Such a big move!”
Xu Qing’s expression changed. Back then, because his but now… it was different.
The drastic changes in the outside world were still ongoing.
The voice of the Sun God rumbled through the Divine Realm.
“The first sacrifice is the sacrifice of all living beings in seven regions!”
The words of the Sun God were world-shaking and landed in Wanggu. They landed in the seven great regions that had been specially chosen and prepared by the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race for many years. They were just waiting for today’s event.
Each of these seven large regions had a vast range.
At this moment, in each of the seven regions, the auras of many kings of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race soared into the sky, altering the course of events and the trajectory of fate.
As far as the eye could see, in the seven regions, the Flame Moon Army was a black mass. When the banners were spread out, they seemed to be able to blot out the sky.
In front of them were countless prisoners of war.
The uniqueness of these seven regions was also reflected in these prisoners of war. Every region actually belonged to unified races.
Other than the region’s race, there were no other races!
At that moment, these prisoners of war were all kneeling there, their eyes revealing despair. At the next instant, as the Sun God’s voice spread out, the venerable kings acted.
“Blood sacrifice, begin!”
With a command, the massacre in the seven regions erupted at the same time!
In an instant, many people died. It couldn’t be said to be unprecedented, but it was still rare to see such a slaughter in tens of thousands of years.
Blood flowed like a river and souls filled the sky.
Some tried to escape, and some tried to fight back, but they couldn’t break out of the seal or break through their determined fate.
Another special characteristic of the seven races was revealed as they were killed.
Their blood was of seven colors!
Red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue, and violet!
One region, one color.
As for the region where the red blood was located, the exterminated race wasn’t human.
However, one could imagine that with the domineeringness of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, it was impossible for the large region dominated by the human race not to be their original goal. Looking back to the war, the initial uprising of the Black Heaven Race seemed to now have an answer.
If that battle had been lost, if there hadn’t been Suns of Dawn, if it hadn’t forced out the last strike of the Sword Holding Emperor…
However, there were no ifs in history. There were only results.
At that moment, the seven races of the seven regions were all destroyed. Corpses piled up and blood formed a sea. The souls of the dead filled the air like a ghost world. They were all… sacrifices!
Above Wanggu, the highest existence, the huge fragmented-
face that suppressed all cultivators, all lives, and even all gods, moved Its eyelids slightly.
After that, the voice from the Divine Realm echoed again.
“The second offering is the battle souls over tens of thousands of years!”
This voice wasn’t that of the Sun God but… the Great Magistrate.
This was because what was sacrificed this time was the souls of the heroic spirits that had died in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race in the past tens of thousands of years. This was a self-offering by the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven!
Only then could it be considered sincere.
Only this could be called a sacrifice!
Hence, the three gods weren’t qualified to mention sacrificing the war souls.
Only the first Great Magistrate could fulfill this karma.
If he was dead, he would be replaced by the three current magistrates.
In an instant, all the ancestral halls and heroic spirits belonging to the three magistrates of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race rumbled in unison. The countless battle souls that had accumulated in them for tens of thousands of years rose into the air and formed sacrifices!
The entire Flame Moon Race fell silent. From the ministers to the commoners, there was sorrow in their hearts that couldn’t be controlled.
However, this was life!
Their lives belonged to that Great Magistrate who had returned from history.
Back then, he chose to betray. Although there was a promise of becoming a god, he had considered the long-term interests of the ethnicity as well.
He knew that it was impossible for Jiuli, who had inherited the position of the Ancestral Magus, to be able to kill the spider god. He also didn’t want to decide the fate of the Mystic Heaven Great Magus Race only with the antique array.
“Jiuli’s choice can only protect the ethnicity for a while.”
“And my choice can help the ethnicity gain a future in this world!”
“There are no ifs in history, only results.”
“Therefore, I have no regrets!”
