Chapter 1835
"Some burned away billions of years of cultivation, while others tore apart their true spirits to become nourishment, all to replenish the Great Emperors fighting on the front lines with a trace of eternal magic power. How tragic must that scene have been?"
It paused, the tower trembling slightly, as if recalling a past it was unwilling to mention:
"My master may have chosen to sacrifice himself in order to replenish the magical power of some great emperor. He knew that once all ten imperial passes were breached, the cultivator civilization would be completely overthrown, with no chance of turning the tide."
The playful look on Chen Xuan's face gradually faded. He slowly straightened up, walked to the small tower, his eyes becoming extremely solemn. He nodded solemnly: "I understand."
"In that desperate situation, not one of those supreme beings and half-step emperors who had cultivated for countless years retreated, nor did they have any other choice." The little tower's voice trembled slightly; if it weren't incorporeal, its eyes would probably have already reddened.
"At that time, our army was hoping that a true strongman would step forward and turn the tide, even if he could only stop two or three more Emperor-level experts from the Strange Clan."
"But what was the result?" The little tower's "gaze" fell on Chen Xuan, its voice so deep it seemed to come from underground.
"Several emperors died in battle, some even their true spirits were annihilated in the endless void, and could not be retrieved."
"Heaven and earth mourned for them, the core of our universe trembled, and blood rained down for eighty thousand years—the blood of the supreme beings and the blood of the emperors. They could not let go of the homeland that nurtured them until their deaths. This was their obsession, an obsession engraved in their true spirits."
It paused for a moment, its tone carrying a hint of pleading, yet also a hint of resolve:
"Now that you have obtained the complete Ultimate Dao System created by the Great Emperor before the decisive battle by chance, how can you give it up? How dare you give it up?"
Chen Xuan took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling slightly. He raised his head, his eyes filled with unwavering determination, devoid of any hesitation.
"As you said, I love the people of Longxia, I love the civilization that gave me birth and nurtured me, and I love this universe that embraces all things. For them, I am willing to do everything I can to cultivate the ultimate path."
Chen Xuan had never seen the little tower like this before, and he said solemnly, "If strange creatures invade again in the future, I will fight to the death for civilization like the ancient sages and emperors, and I will never back down."
"That's good, that's good..." The little tower's voice finally softened, and the runes on its body returned to their gentle state.
"Chen Xuan, remember this: in the face of the survival of civilization, personal grudges and the hardships of cultivation are all trivial matters. As long as civilization can continue, as long as we can safeguard the origin of the universe, there will always be a way to reverse time and space and bring back those who died in battle."
The little tower's words concealed a hidden agenda—it didn't say that if a true spirit were to perish in the endless void, even a Great Emperor would find it difficult to gather it together, and resurrection would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
But Chen Xuan didn't expose it; he knew that Xiao Ta wanted to leave each other with a glimmer of hope.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered a question that had been lingering in his mind, and asked:
"You've said more than once that the Great Emperors each guard a Imperial Pass. But what were those 'unspeakable' powerful beings above the Great Emperors doing during the most brutal times of the war? Why didn't they intervene?"
The little tower's "vision" pierced through the barriers of the Immortal Abode world, gazing towards the distant core of the universe, where the void shimmered with a faint purple hue, as if concealing countless secrets:
"Do you think there are no beings beyond the Great Emperors on the side of the Strange Clan? Their supreme combat power and our true great power are not clashing on the battlefield of the Ten Great Imperial Passes, but on the core world of the origin of our universe."
"Of course, even my master, a half-step Great Emperor, is not qualified to approach a battlefield of that level, let alone know the details. Perhaps only the Great Emperors who actually participated in the battle back then know the truth about that top-level duel."
