Chapter 1765: The Fifth Heaven (Second Update)
Incredible, isn't it?
Humans, with their seven emotions and six desires, with their various feelings, are considered by those supreme beings as the most filthy and defiled creatures!
Such creatures have no right to appear in the Four Heavens!
Once they appear, they face extermination and exile.
In fact, the reason why those supreme beings and high-level creatures in the Four Heavens consider humans filthy and defiled is quite laughable. At least, from a human perspective, it's quite laughable.
Because humans have physical bodies!
Inside their bodies, there are flesh and blood!
No matter what realm one cultivates to, no matter what kind of power one possesses, humans and some other creatures cannot detach from their bodies, or perhaps it can be said, they are unwilling to abandon their bodies!
To those high-level creatures, this is simply an unbelievable matter!
Why have a physical body? It's so filthy! It's simply intolerable!
The Four Heavens are pure high-level planes, and all high-level creatures within them exist in the world in spiritual form.
Although they occasionally gather various bodies, those are merely appearances. They have no flesh and blood!
Moreover, in the eyes of those creatures, human emotions are the filthiest and most meaningless. Each person having different personalities is simply intolerable. Some other lower-level creatures are a bit better, having only simple emotions like anger, joy, and fear. But they should not have bodies!
Those with bodies should all die!
Yet the opportunities and qi movement of this world continue to allow humans to appear in the Four Heavens. Moreover, now and then, someone with stunning talent emerges.
Pangu is among the best of them!
A truly top-tier human!
Born of the times, with emotions and a physical body!
The key is, Pangu is too powerful. His combat strength is unparalleled, and under normal circumstances, no creature in all the Four Heavens can match him!
Therefore, in the eyes of those supreme beings in the Four Heavens, humans are the filthiest and most defiled creatures in this world.
They are simply intolerably annoying!
Pangu took away almost all human souls, making the Four Heavens very happy. They hated Pangu, yet also feared him. So Pangu's analysis of the mindset of those top beings of the Four Heavens was very accurate at the time.
Thousands of reasons boiled down to just one: not being strong enough!
As powerful as Pangu was, no creature dared to provoke him. No creature dared to call him filthy to his face.
Pangu took away the human souls, took away the fire seed, far from the Four Heavens, which was indeed great news for those creatures who hated and feared humanity.
But his attempt to independently establish a Fifth Heaven was unacceptable!
In the eyes of the supreme beings of the Four Heavens, humans are filthy, but also the smartest creatures in this world!
Therefore, once Pangu successfully establishes a Fifth Heaven, then, one day, the creatures of the Fifth Heaven will certainly attack!
They will certainly bring incalculable losses to the Four Heavens.
So they resorted to despicable and dark means to trick Pangu, separating his body and spirit. Then they suppressed them separately.
Yet the treasure within Pangu's body was too tempting.
The Pangu Axe and the Pangu Hunting Knife, such top-tier artifacts, need not say more. Even within the Four Heavens, they are the topmost!
Especially the Pangu Hunting Knife, this artifact was underestimated by many supreme beings of the Four Heavens. But some creatures discovered that the Pangu Hunting Knife is actually the sharpest weapon in this world!
Once one masters the Pangu Hunting Knife, it is essentially equivalent to having unmatched combat power.
Therefore, many creatures began to set their sights on the idea of the Fifth Heaven.
Though this Fifth Day is completely unacknowledged by the Four Heavens. In reality, almost all living beings within the Four Heavens, privately refer to the world of Pangu's corpse as the Fifth Day!
According to the information Chu Mo received, it was at the moment when Pangu's spirit and body were being separated that, in his fury, he drove the Heaven Slaying into his own body.
Pangu's blood stained the once bright blade of the Heaven Slaying Blade.
Then, Pangu roared and uttered two words: Heaven Slaying!
These two words formed an unimaginable killing intent, surging into the body of the Heaven Slaying Blade.
This was the intel obtained when the old monk and the old Daoist opened the door of memory.
However, Chu Mo was unclear on exactly what kind of world the Four Heavens was. Because the information conveyed by the old monk and the old Daoist did not contain much about the Four Heavens.
The Eternal Lord and the Three Great Lords are actually outsiders, just like that thief who stole the crystal core!
They all come from within the Four Heavens!
The young man who stole the crystal core obtained the Pangu Axe, and after ages of sacrificial refining, the Pangu Axe finally became his weapon. So, upon entering the Fifth Day, the world of Pangu's corpse, he could directly steal those crystal cores.
But all of this eventually failed as if it had been calculated in advance by the ancient god.
The old monk told Chu Mo: "The world of the ancient god's corpse will not truly collapse! This was the conclusion we reached after opening all the doors of memory. The five crystal cores are actually the key items for the birth of the Heaven Lord!"
This information had not been conveyed to Chu Mo previously by him and the old Daoist, so upon hearing it, Chu Mo was somewhat stunned and very surprised.
"In the past, we were also somewhat misled; almost everything the outsider said was false. However, we eventually found the real truth. The outside is not what the Immortal Realm is supposed to be, not a world filled with slaughter. But the outside world is fraught with danger to us humans. They will not easily allow us to establish the Fifth Day, nor will they truly acknowledge us. If we want to succeed, there's only one way." The old Daoist looked at Chu Mo: "Turn them all upside down."
In the battleship, almost everyone had a dazed expression, looking at the old Daoist. They thought to themselves, is this old man really the Supreme Wuji who has guarded the world of the tunnel for the Immeasurable Epochs?
Unexpectedly, the old monk beside him seriously nodded: "Even the most compassionate Buddha has a wrathful side. To fight for a chance of survival for all beings of the ancient god's world, there is only this way."
"So you're saying that without the five crystal cores, the world of the ancient god's corpse won't collapse. They are afraid of someone obtaining the five crystal cores and becoming the Heaven Lord, isn't it?" Qi Xiaoyu asked beside them.
"Yes." The old monk nodded.
"Then, without the five crystal cores, at most, those original great worlds would become depleted of essence energy, but the beings on them wouldn't truly become extinct, right?" Qi Xiaoyu asked again.
"Exactly." The old monk nodded once more.
Qi Xiaoyu's eyes flickered as she quietly said: "In that case, the enemies we face now are the Eternal Lord and the Three Great Lords, and of course, that young outsider wielding the Pangu Axe. Most of the beings in the Eternal World… should actually be our friends, not our enemies."
"Indeed." The old monk had a compassionate expression, then sighed lightly: "But the problem is that the Eternal Lord and the Three Great Lords have been operating in this world for far too long! Even longer than Wuji and me. Their images have long been ingrained in people's hearts. Almost no one would believe they could be the world's enemies. They propagate the idea that the crystal cores cannot leave their respective worlds, or else all life in that world would face extinction. They would also act according to this claim, then use this 'fact' to inform the beings within the other ancient god body worlds that if the crystal cores leave, the world of the ancient god body will collapse. And that they, the Three Great Lords and the Eternal Lord, are the true protectors of this corporeal world!"
The old Daoist chuckled: "Yes, so even if the ancient god's world hasn't collapsed, they can completely claim that they used their lives and supreme divine abilities to protect this world."
Everyone hearing this understood. This was an earth-shattering scheme. It manipulated countless lives. Treating all beings in the entire world of the ancient god as chess pieces. Thankfully, the ancient god anticipated all of this, making the necessary arrangements.
Thus, comes the moment when the truth is revealed.
Thus, everyone can gather here.
"The ultimate goal of the Eternal Lord and the Three Great Lords is to suppress the entire world of the ancient god body, preventing this world from becoming the Fifth Day, right?" Chu Mo suddenly asked.
The old Daoist nodded: "That is so, but not only that, they also hope that someone will obtain the five crystal cores, and then they can refine that person and become the Heaven Lord themselves!"
Everyone was somewhat astonished.
The old Daoist sneeringly said: "They are the truly filthy ones! Yet, those beings in the Four Heavens would definitely say that's the result of interacting with humans for too long. Nonsense! Clearly, it's because every being has selfish desires! In comparison, humans are much more lovable than them!"
The old monk quietly chanted the name of Buddha and looked at Chu Mo: "So, you carry a heavy burden. You need to refine the five crystal cores; now only you in this world can accomplish this. Become the Heaven Lord, lead all beings, and establish the Fifth Day!"
The old Daoist said: "Within this lies a great opportunity. Once the Heaven Lord appears and the Fifth Day is successfully established, then... we will truly form a great protective barrier here. An umbrella for our entire world! Once this protection exists, even if the Four Heavens wish to attack us, it wouldn't be that easy. At least, morally, they won't have a leg to stand on. They won't be able to persuade those warriors. Because the top beings in the Four Heavens have always claimed that filthy beings could not possibly be acknowledged or recognized, it's absolutely impossible to establish a separate world."
The old Daoist continued with a cold smile: "The beings of the Four Heavens are all too advanced and too clever, considering themselves the top beings in the world. So, they adhere stubbornly to principles and rules. Once they know the Fifth Day has formed and a Heaven Lord has appeared, then the vast majority of beings in the Four Heavens will abide by the rules and acknowledge the Fifth Day. Even if there are orders from the Heaven Lord, they might directly resist. In fact, perhaps many beings might directly recognize that we too, are advanced beings, no longer filthy and impure..."
"So, the emergence of the Heaven Lord and the formation of a world is crucial to us? It concerns the survival of countless beings?" Chu Mo asked.
The old Daoist and the old monk both seriously nodded: "Indeed!"
