Chapter 1787: The Id Ego (6th Update)
The fall of the Eternal Lord caused a massive tremor in the entire flesh world of the ancient gods.
For several hundred years, various parts of the ancient god's flesh world have seen numerous anomalies. Across the eternal land, blood rain has been falling, like the heavens are weeping.
The three great powers were utterly shocked and could not believe this reality. They could not accept this outcome. To them, the Eternal Lord, like a true god with infinite prestige, had fallen so easily?
This is precisely the power of the Dream of One Million Years. Even though the Eternal Lord suffered calamity and fell, the residual power of the divine ability remains forever embedded in the depths of the controlled soul. It cannot be changed.
"Those two have joined forces. We are in danger. Even the Eternal Lord fell at his hands. In this world... who else can stand against him?" Bu Xuye still had lingering fears of Chu Mo's battle prowess.
The other two felt the same way; they were truly frightened by Chu Mo.
Even though the Eternal Lord has fallen now, they still couldn't comprehend how a destined individual from the ancient god's flesh world could possess such terrifying power in such a short time, transforming decay into something miraculous.
Could it be that the ancient god's inheritance is truly so miraculous?
"I think that at this point, it's time for us to call for aid." The master of the Heavenly Palace looked at King Bu Xuye of the Bu Clan Dynasty and the master of the Eternal Hall and said in a deep voice, "The Eternal Lord suffered calamity, and our dream of establishing the Fifth Heavenly Realm is shattered."
"No, I believe it's not yet over." Bu Xuye's eyes burned with a cold fire as he spoke, "Have you forgotten that event?"
"That's unrealistic. That one... cannot come forth again. He is a will of the ancient god himself; how could he kill his own inheritor? Awakening that will could come at a great cost." The master of the Eternal Hall immediately shook his head, then said seriously, "I don't recommend doing that."
The eyes of the master of the Heavenly Palace, however, slightly brightened, saying, "Indeed... awakening this will is quite a crazy idea. However, I believe it's worth a try."
"Have you gone mad too?" said the master of the Eternal Hall, "That will nearly caused us four to suffer a calamity back then. We exhausted all our dharma instruments to barely suppress it in the depths of the eternal land. That place is truly the most mysterious and terrifying part of the ancient god's brain. Have you forgotten the dangers we encountered back then?"
"They say great opportunities arise in times of great crisis," Bu Xuye's cold fire flickered in his eyes. He said, "That will is a chaotic... mad will, representing the uncontrollable side of the ancient god. I think, even the ancient god himself cannot control that will. Moreover, even the Four Great Heavens couldn't discover its existence. If we hadn't explored that place, we wouldn't have found it either. It's not only incomparably powerful but also incomparably chaotic and mad. If I'm correct, that will should be the ancient god's true self-will!"
The master of the Heavenly Palace nodded, "Yes, I suspect the same. We all know the true self-will is the most peculiar type of will among living beings. It fiercely repels all other wills, holding its domain. Don't forget, whether it's Chu Mo or the one wielding the Pangu Axe, both are inheritors of Pangu's will! If we awaken the true self-will, its priority would undoubtedly be to repel those two!"
"What if... we're wrong?" The master of the Eternal Hall said coldly, "We all understand that this world still holds too many mysteries, too many paths and laws unexplored and incomprehensible to us. If we fail, we'll lose everything."
Bu Xuye looked at him, "Do we have any retreat?"
This question drove the master of the Eternal Hall into silence.
Indeed, is there any retreat?
It seems so, but actually, there isn't!
Because although they appear to be Heavenly People now, they are no different from real humans.
Even if they were once close confidants of the Four Great Heavens, now, they are actually exiles. From the moment they arrived in the ancient god's world, it was already destined—they have no way back.
Reporting the matters here to the Four Great Heavens, is it useful?
Obviously, it is!
Because the Four Great Heavens would never allow another Pangu to appear in this world.
Because in their hearts, Pangu signifies a strong and uncontrollable danger.
Once such a danger emerges, it is enough. They don't want a second time.
Therefore, after the Four Great Heavens learn about this, they will surely send a large number of experts to conquer this place.
But by then, what path will they take, no longer realm masters of the past, now masters of the three great powers of the ancient god's world?
Return, no road.
Advance, no road as well!
The experts sent by the Four Great Heavens will surely clean out the three of them!
They may even personally take action to thoroughly remove them from this world.
Just like the purging of those powerful human clan beings in the past.
Filthy, dirty... everything must be cleansed until nothing is visible.
This outcome, the master of the Eternal Hall knows very well, and all three of them are aware of it.
Only when Pangu's inheritor is dead will they remain the true rulers of this ancient god's world. Even if they cannot truly establish the Fifth Heavenly Realm, in this "forgotten land," they will always be the true dominators.
"Very well." Ultimately, the Lord of the Eternal Hall compromised.
"So now, we need to strategize. Those two individuals are not to be underestimated. In the past, we disregarded them, thinking they were not on the same level as us. But the fact has proven us all wrong. Terribly wrong!" Bu Xuye said, "They are not only our equals but... even more terrifying than us. Because now, this has become their home ground. Our only advantage is that we know about the chaotic primal consciousness of the Ancient God, which they are unaware of."
"Then tell me, what should we do?" The Lord of the Eternal Hall looked at him.
Bu Xuye said, "I will be the bait to lure them into that place. The two of you go to that place and awaken it."
The Lord of the Heavenly Palace and the Lord of the Eternal Hall hesitated slightly, looking at Bu Xuye. Their gazes were deep and calm, showing no unusual expression. But Bu Xuye knew it was a form of scrutiny, a kind of interrogation. Hence, he was candid and calm.
He said, "How about one of you two be the bait, and then I go with the other to that place to awaken the Ancient God's consciousness."
"Forget it, we'll go." The Lord of the Heavenly Palace said lightly, turning to leave.
The Lord of the Eternal Hall glanced at Bu Xuye, "Brother, take care of yourself!"
The level of danger is the same, and the degree of danger is the same. Awakening the Ancient God's primal consciousness is undoubtedly an extremely hazardous task.
Because back in the day, the four of them exhausted almost all their power and every top-tier dharma instrument, merely causing that domineering will to fall asleep. It was never about suppression. Now with only two of them left, who dares to say they won't meet disaster?
Especially since that place is the deepest, and mysterious, part of the Ancient God's brain, filled with all sorts of mysterious and unknown powers.
The word 'dangerous' does not suffice to describe the circumstances there. Using 'desperate situation' would be more fitting.
Even just being the bait to tempt Chu Mo and that young man was equally perilous!
Because the Eternal Lord had just met with disaster, and above the skies of the Eternal Domain, a rain of blood was still falling!
If even the Eternal Lord was not a match, how could Bu Xuye be a match?
Therefore, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace and the Lord of the Eternal Hall made their choice without hesitation. They had no fear of whatever trick Bu Xuye might play, not to mention the irreconcilable enmity between Bu Xuye and Chu Mo and that young man.
Merely from the stance of both parties, reconciliation was impossible.
They were all true rulers, very clear on the sentiments of a ruler.
Any one of the three would rather die in battle than compromise. In fact, the Eternal Lord was the same, which is why the Eternal Lord met with disaster.
The three of them split into two groups.
By this time, Chu Mo and Yu Hong had long since departed from the nearly incinerated cosmic void. They were advancing towards the Eternal Domain.
Sooner or later, there would be an earth-shattering battle between them and the three great lords.
And the Eternal Domain, this legendary place believed to be the Ancient God's brain, was indeed the most suitable battlefield.
On the Eternal Domain lived countless powerful beings, most of whom were from the Human Clan, but all had become the true subjects of the three great lords and the Eternal Lord!
Both body and soul were the same.
The people here were as submissive to the Eternal Lord as the lords themselves, an unchangeable fact.
Therefore, sooner or later, Chu Mo and Yu Hong would confront the beings here.
Rather than passively awaiting challenges, it was better to take the initiative.
The atmosphere in the Eternal Domain was extremely tense.
The fall of the Eternal Lord brought enormous trauma to this continent.
The beings living on this continent could not understand why. Why did the god in their hearts, the supreme ruler, fall?
In their hearts, there arose an intense and unparalleled hatred towards the person who killed the supreme ruler.
Countless people petitioned to become an expeditionary force to crusade against the murderer of the supreme ruler.
Finally, the decree of the three great lords descended upon the pinnacle of the sky in the Eternal Domain.
"Assemble the army, at all costs, to avenge the Eternal Lord."
The entire Eternal Domain instantly boiled with excitement.
