Chapter 866 The Death and End of the Primordial Celestial Venerable
Chapter 866 The Death and End of the Primordial Celestial Venerable
"Whether we are in the game or outside of it, none of our actions are meaningful. This is 'despair,' Hanyu."
"And what about you? Whom are you fighting? Do you know its name? Do you know its purpose? Do you know of its existence?"
"If you know nothing, can you still be confident that your current thoughts and ideas are not being controlled by others?"
Hunyuan Tianzun continued.
An enemy stronger than yourself is not scary; what is scary is an enemy who will always be stronger than you no matter how much you become stronger.
"As you said, I have indeed never seen the gods of that universe. But I think someone has seen them and given a completely different answer than you."
The Star Emperor Hanyu didn't take it seriously. He took out the Star Spirit Pendant and displayed it to the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
"The Fall of the Celestial Spirit...why...is it Xin?"
Hunyuan Tianzun immediately realized that Xin had not escaped danger as he had expected.
“His name is Xin…is that right…He used his last strength to send me here, saying that you need my help.”
"Hanyu Xinghuang spoke slowly."
“When I met him amidst the desolation, he had long been corrupted by it. Before meeting me, he had been manipulated by the desolation as a puppet. But when I said your name, he came to his senses. Why do you think that is?”
It is a "contract".
The Star Emperor of the Vast Universe asked and answered himself, but his words were all meant to provoke the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
Hunyuan Tianzun fell silent, a sense of guilt welling up in his heart: "...It was I who made the contract on my own, causing him to suffer in vain."
Han Yu Xinghuang shook his head:
"No, if it weren't for him, I don't know how long it would have taken to reach the Eight Desolations."
"Time in Wuzhong is completely distorted, and any life within it would suffer torment completely different from that in the real world, yet he transcended the impossible because of this belief."
Hanyu Xinghuang began with a classic, passionate encouragement.
“Xin and I have both made our choices. You don’t need to suffer anymore, Heavenly Venerable. If you can no longer believe in yourself, then believe in us.”
"Do not succumb to nothingness. All our battles and all our thoughts so far are proof of our existence."
“The temple is not fighting against anyone; what we must remember is that it has always been fighting for someone.”
“If you want to give them hope, then become their hope.” You, who said such a thing, should not be unaware of this.
"You've just been lonely for too long."
"I'm so sorry that I haven't come to see you until now."
At the end of his sentence, the Emperor of the Universe Stars felt ashamed that he had arrived too late.
Hunyuan Tianzun looked completely bewildered after hearing this:
"Did I ever say something like that before? Ha, time has passed, I don't even remember anymore."
Seeing the reaction of Hunyuan Tianzun, Hanyu Xinghuang was also a little confused for a moment.
Don't remember? Come to think of it, Hunyuan Tianzun just said he couldn't remember the second expulsion.
"Without that sentence, I might not have made up my mind so quickly."
But compared to dwelling on these things, it is clearly more important to encourage the Hunyuan Heavenly Lord to muster new courage.
Hunyuan Tianzun couldn't help but sigh: "...The past, especially the memories before and after contact with Wu, are more or less vague and ambiguous."
"Ironically, I can recall quite a bit of the regret, panic, and endless guilt I felt after injuring you."
"...Don't you even remember why you went out through the rift in the first place?"
Emperor Hanyu couldn't help but ask.
Hunyuan Tianzun also noticed the changes in his own memories, but for now he could only express his feelings.
"I felt an incredibly strong power, and at that moment I felt I had to go and could not stay."
"But why do I think that way... I don't know. Whenever this comes up, my mind goes completely blank."
The Star Emperor of the Vast Universe wondered again, was it because Wu had devoured this memory...?
"Come with me, Celestial Venerable. We've come to retrieve that memory, not only for the truth, but also to better understand the 'Wu' that we will one day have to face."
The Star Emperor of the Vast Universe once again witnessed the terrifying power of Wu, the invisible enemy of all universes, but he still wanted to save Hunyuan Heavenly Venerable, even though the Hunyuan Heavenly Venerable before him was not the one he knew.
Hunyuan Tianzun remained silent for a long time, then said with a forced smile, "Are you joking, Hanyu?"
Hunyuan Tianzun pointed to the sky, where the golden incantations forming a restriction on the dark red sky were gradually reassembling.
"Do you see that? That was a futile attempt by Apocalypse to strip away the power of the world. I don't know why you in the future are so obsessed with this power, but it is indeed the reason why my true form was sealed at the ends of the eight wastelands."
After the future Hunyuan Tianzun separated from Xin, Hunyuan Tianzun did not come to the Eight Desolations Land, but was controlled by Wu, and destroyed three star fields from the time he descended into the Sai'er Universe.
The future Holy Temple Heroes defeated him once again and banished him to the Eight Desolations. During this time, a portion of his memories were also devoured by Wu.
Furthermore, the future Holy Temple Heroes were obsessed with the power of the World Power, one of the Tarot cards on Hunyuan Tianzun's body, and Tianqi Emperor even directly stripped him of the World Power.
Emperor Hanyu was slightly stunned, his mind filled with confusion and bewilderment, but in the next moment all of that turned into determination: "The future us... that kind of thing will not be an obstacle."
Having said that, he raised his hand, and several beams of holy light shot out, tearing the restriction apart once again.
Just as the Star Emperor of the Vast Universe was pondering how to further and completely break the seal, the Celestial Venerable pressed down on his hand.
"Stop, that's enough."
"what are you saying."
"Stop wasting your energy. Doing this is pointless except for challenging the laws of the temple."
“I have destroyed the universe twice. Now that I remember, I should bear the consequences rather than live on.”
"Besides, I'm not going to change my mind just because of a few words from you. I don't want to, and I'm not capable of, fighting anymore."
Hunyuan Tianzun smiled self-deprecatingly:
“I am not the Hunyuan Tianzun you know, nor are you the Wise King Hanyu I know. I am now just a sinner.”
The Hunyuan Celestial Venerable before me is already in a state of utter collapse in both body and soul. All the companions he knew have also perished in this so-called future. He has lost all hope of living. If he were forcibly rescued, he would probably just become another walking corpse.
Hunyuan Tianzun changed the subject, thinking of his past self. If someone had been able to stop him, perhaps he wouldn't have been caught up in this future.
