Chapter 2031: Everything Has a Reason

"I can only do this much."

"Believe in the wisdom of those who come after, believe that someone will certainly understand, that someone smarter than me will certainly appear."

"I have done everything possible to the human body. If I cannot move forward, it means this path is wrong."

"This path is not wrong, it's just... sealed dead!"

"Totem Spirit is not the limit of humans. It is the limit of this shackle!"

"The greatest genius of this era opened a new path but died on the day he achieved the Dao. I absolutely do not believe he would fail... His death is not an accident! We are being watched! Do not expose yourself!"

"The earliest human records are on Sheng Ji Mountain, surrounded by evil spirits. But that is definitely not the earliest era. I will trace back further. History might give me the key."

"...Regarding the speculation about the shackle, that's all. Future generations, please forgive me for not being able to do more. I can only leave these fragments in this crevice. Born in this unfortunate world, please strive."

"I will try to leave here and will definitely return as scheduled. If I cannot... please strive."

"Please strive."

"Please strive."

"I will... strive."

The star points on the giant whale star beast's body shone through eternity, the echo of history deafening.

In Qing Huo Department, Chi Lei Department, Jing Shui Department, Zhi Wen Department... throughout the lands of various departments, more and more people walked out of their houses and looked up at the high sky.

Those in Floating Land's history who silently walked towards death.

Those who are still striving to live today.

They gave Qing Huo Qi Ming inexhaustible power.

His body bearing the You Tian totem, transforming into a giant whale star beast, and gaining the recognition of the Book of Creation, he already grasped the limits of this world. So the giant whale swung its tail, floated in the sky, and collided towards the evil ghost heavenly way.

The Floating Land human race is the favored race of the Floating Land world, and evil spirits have never been recognized by this world. The era of evil spirits has already passed!

Two terrifying behemoths collided!

Heaven opened infinitely far, and the earth sank infinitely deep.

Just the scattered power alone sent Ao Kui's ghost dragon body flying.

He flipped helplessly in the air, like a piece of rotten wood floating in the shocking waves, appearing powerless and weary. Yet, in an instant, he suddenly extracted himself. The dragon body instantly turned, and a claw smashed through space, swatting towards Jiang Wang, who had also been sent flying at the same time as him!

The huge dragon claw descended, only smashing through a Qing Yun seal mark.

Jiang Wang's figure was like a flowing fire piercing a rainbow, already far away in an instant. Behind him, a burning city remained, separated.

They truly deserved to be forget-year friends who had lived together, good friends who had spent mornings and evenings together for several years. They actually reacted at the same time! Only, Ao Kui's first reaction was to deliver a heavy blow to his dear little friend. Jiang Wang's first reaction, however, was to flee far away and maintain distance from his old friend.

Ao Kui looked back with a slight regret, then headed towards the high sky.

He would not interfere in the struggle between the giant whale star beast and the evil ghost heavenly way. No matter which side won, he was at a dead end. Jiang Wang at least firmly chose a side to stand on. He was neither here nor there.

His only chance of survival at this moment lay in the Qi Huo Ru Shi Bowl high above. Taking advantage of this so-called Mu Han Gong's seal release, he would get the authority alone, then he could control the heavenly Buddha treasure and protect himself.

At that time, it would not be impossible to hold the bowl and return to contend for opportunity, not impossible to ascend to the absolute peak, to leap and transcend!

Even if two Qi Country True Monarchs were guarding outside heaven, it wouldn't count as anything. He had never failed to escape from the hands of those at the absolute peak. Yu Heng Star Monarch couldn't kill him. Now with the Qi Huo Ru Shi Bowl in hand, he still couldn't run away?!

With his ghost dragon body, he exhibited extreme speed, completely exceeding the speed at which this layer of the heavenly dome was being pushed open — this was the Destroyer pulling it down, intending to overturn this layer of heaven along with the world.

There was no time to waste. The ghost dragon touched it with its horn!

Smashing through this heaven, it directly headed towards the copper-colored heavenly curtain.

The ten-thousand-zhang ghost dragon body stretched across the sky, naturally possessing a solemn aura.

He could almost see the Sanskrit characters on the copper bowl's texture, almost already hearing the echo of Sanskrit sound in his ears. This was the only—

A wisp of wind seemed to collide on the inner wall of the copper bowl.

But what Ao Kui heard was the sound of a dream shattering.

Because the full sky of copper color suddenly withdrew, transforming into a single bowl, which actually vanished in a flash!

The Qi Huo Ru Shi Bowl actually ran away!

That speed transcended the meaning of time and space. By the time you felt it wanted to leave, it was already gone.

And the full sky of starlight poured down like a sea. Reflected in the dragon's pupils was a handsome and elegant bald head. A young man with an ink jade hairpin in his hair walked beside him. The two came together, separated from the Floating Land world by only a thin curtain. That was the time gap formed by the Destroyer changing the flow of time in Floating Land—

The ghost dragon dove fiercely back to the ground, angrily colliding towards the evil ghost heavenly way. Its dragon roar was a long howl: "Jiang Wang my friend, do not panic! I will help you block this evil spirit!"

Ren Niang!

His anger was absolutely genuine. This time he just realized that perhaps he, Ao Kui, had always been in the scheme.

In the year at Tian Fo Temple, perhaps he was the one being played with emotionally.

The Qi Huo Ru Shi Bowl was not a puppet. The Qi Huo Ru Shi Bowl came to the Floating Land world with a purpose! It only borrowed his hand to conceal the heavenly secrets. It borrowed his greed to erase karma.

He no longer cared what the purpose of the Qi Huo Ru Shi Bowl was. He only cared how to escape this death trap.

Yu Heng Star Monarch was just about to come. The time gap, without support, would definitely not hold for long!

Above heaven and below earth, looking forward and looking back, all were fatal existences.

Boom, rumble, rumble!

Heaven shook and earth moved!

The giant whale star beast and the evil ghost heavenly way had already collided for the third round in this extremely short instant.

Cracks in time and space also rippled open centered on the two, shattering everything they met!

A majestic black shadow swept over.

The ghost dragon coiled and fell to the ground.

Ao Kui used all means to block the aftermath of the power that pounced towards Jiang Wang. "You go! Leave this to me!"

Yu Heng's dragon, sworn to protect Jiang Qing Yang to the death!

Jiang Wang measured the distance a bit, gave up the idea of stabbing the ghost dragon from behind, turned with Qing Yun steps, and went to meet Jing Li.

Just at this moment—

"Roar!

A long roar.

From the direction of Ya Gan Sinkhole, surging demonic qi rose again!

That black demonic qi twisted in the air, transforming into an armored, ferocious dragon demon—

A human body with a dragon head, majestic like a mountain.

One step brought her right next to the giant whale star beast and the evil ghost heavenly way.

The Destroyer was unable to solve everything in the instant of releasing the seal; on the contrary, she was held tightly by the giant whale star beast.

Thus, Demonic Arts came out!

This dragon demon, with an incomparably overbearing posture, forcefully inserted herself into this ongoing battle at the limit of the Floating Land world. She came like a falling star, moved like a floating leaf. She gently extended a palm, and without any visible action, the heavenly principle naturally fell down, pressing on the evil ghost heavenly way's forehead!

Blocking was unavoidable, avoiding was unavoidable. It seemed everything was originally supposed to be so.

The blue flame god person inside the evil ghost heavenly way's body was extinguished almost instantly!

The more than one thousand Dao spells that were born with it shattered precisely inside its body!

"I am not willing!" Ten million voices simultaneously cried out from inside the evil ghost heavenly way's body: "I am not willing!"

The dragon demon opened its mouth to speak, her voice actually abnormally gentle, only saying: "Everything has a cause."

No single thing happens independently.

To ensure the smooth progress of the plan and eliminate accidents, the Destroyer limited the cultivation system of the Floating Land human race, strangled the future of geniuses, and imprisoned the possibilities of heroes.

This kind of limitation also imprisoned her power to 'descend' and 'be born' today.

Descending upon Qing Wang, she only had the power level of a Totem Spirit. Although her vision far exceeded and crushed everyone present, she could shatter a god-descended puppet with a single finger and deter the four directions. Yet, it was impossible to easily wipe out existences like Jiang Wang and Jing Li.

Because they were all top-level heaven's favorites of this era. Even in a god descent, it was hard to find an opponent. Even if they truly played to the limit of god descent, it would be impossible to crush Jiang Wang like an ant. Moreover, the totem cultivation system was far less than the current world's cultivation system. The performance of a Totem Spirit in combat power was not as good as a god descent to begin with.

Having the king's power in hand and several hundred thousand great armies in hand were excellent backups. Unfortunately, there was a gap in the king's power changes, and Lin Xian came and went without restraint. Once the king's power totem collapsed, the world would rebel, and the descent would be wiped out instantly.

Gathering several hundred thousand great armies was convenient for the final sacrifice. But the Book of Creation's short seal, Qing Wang's last order, again caused 'birth' as Qing Huo Guan Wen to be exposed prematurely.

The 'birth' person's body being wiped out meant that the Destroyer completely lost the possibility of contending for the authority of the Floating Land human race.

The world will of the Floating Land world was forced to give birth to 'will', and this will was again forced to be born as the human race, truly feeling the human race, and finally actually recognizing the human race... Thereafter, rapid nurturing and exhibition returned to 'initial', and the Book of Creation had the most clear belonging.

At this moment, the Floating Land world and the Floating Land human race truly merged as one, sharing the same qi and connected by branches. The Destroyer became the only '异'.

Everything had a cause.

Thus, heaven and earth all expelled her, the whole world rebelled!

Thus... Demonic Arts broke the seal!

Only one straw was needed to break the balance, yet a fierce beast of the same weight jumped up. Once the balance of power tilted, she herself became part of the falling momentum.

Under the joint suppression of the giant whale star beast and the dragon demon, the evil ghost heavenly way had almost no road to go, but still struggled.

"Everything has a cause, but where are you, and what fruit are you eating?!"

"I am before you."

"Only one step away, only one step away!" Ten million voices shouted together within the evil ghost heavenly way's body: "Child, help me revive! You are a great meritorious minister of the human race!"

The dragon demon pressed down with one palm, like pushing down a mountain: "My identity, have you not used me enough?!"

Identity?

On the giant whale star beast's forehead, the half-body of Qing Huo Qi Ming, some obvious bewilderment.

He didn't care if the participant in this battle was a human or a demon. As long as it harmed the Floating Land world or the Floating Land human race, that was his enemy, otherwise not.

But this dragon demon, what identity did she speak of?

"He he he, he he he..."

The evil ghost heavenly way's huge shadow fell on the vast land, a strange voice like laughter.

The ten million voices inside its body all made ghostly cries!

It really was only one step away!

The earliest was indeed a wisp of Mu Han Gong's remnant soul, a point of broken flesh, entangled with a part of Demonic Arts in the explosion before Mu Han Gong's death.

But Mu Han Gong was dead after all, and Demonic Arts existed forever.

Over the long years, she, representing Demonic Arts, gradually gained the upper hand.

She occupied Mu Han Gong's broken flesh, occupied Mu Han Gong's remnant soul, and sealed the true Mu Han Gong's remnant intent into the 《Mountain River Broken Dragon Demonic Art》.

Thus, there was the era of evil spirits, and the Floating Land human race walked down Sheng Ji Mountain.

She didn't want to simply pretend to be Mu Han Gong alone.

She truly wanted to cultivate and become Mu Han Gong, become Mu Han Gong, evolve all of Mu Han Gong, and in the future return to the present world with Mu Han Gong's identity!

For a very long time, she even completely believed herself to be Mu Han Gong!

As long as Jiang Wang had a slight shake, allowing her to seize the opportunity to create a perfect human body Shura. With the goal of achieving the Human Emperor of the present world, how could she not take good care of this outstanding junior, the holder of the human way light's scroll?

She would even give these young people the highest honor, let them accompany her to seal this so-called Demonic Arts together, then return to the present world together, integrate the resources of these people, establish a new country, and achieve an immortal dynasty.

Pity!

An ant's nest can cause a ten-thousand-mile dike to collapse.

In these ten million years, her most powerful opponent was always Mu Han Gong. Even if the opponent was already sealed in Demonic Arts, she never relaxed her vigilance, constantly strengthening the seal, constantly strengthening her advantage. To the extent that at the moment she looked back, she was actually bewildered. Where exactly did the bitter fruit of this failure begin?

The giant whale star beast, carrying the power of the Floating Land world, horizontally crushed down on the evil ghost heavenly way's body.

She was like an undulating, dark mountain ridge, gradually dissolving under the starlight, her evil spirit power slowly diminishing.

She looked with difficulty at that tall dragon demon, seeming to find the location of the earliest problem: "How did you transmit Mu Han Gong's inheritance message?"

It was the so-called Mu Han Gong's inheritance that attracted so many variables. It was these constantly stacking variables that ultimately overturned her grand situation.

But as the demonic spirit of the 《Mountain River Broken Dragon Demonic Art》, she indeed had a heart full of doubt: "I inherited a part of Demonic Ancestor's power and wisdom, and never gave you an opportunity. From the beginning of the evil spirit era, it was impossible for you to exert influence on the outside. How did you do it?"

Although the dragon demon's exterior was ferocious and dignified, her hands also didn't stop hitting out seals, like pounding garlic, making an effort to smash this evil ghost heavenly way's body into a rotten mess. Her voice, however, appeared very gentle and patient: "You became Mu Han Gong, and I could only become the Dragon Demonic Art. I was indeed imprisoned, suppressed, unable to interfere with Floating Land, and also unable to influence the outer heaven. But have you forgotten? The Eight Great Demonic Arts are connected by the same qi, branches of the same tree.

"You wanted to become Mu Han Gong, no longer pious to Demonic Arts. Two thousand years ago, North Heavenly Master Witch Dao Right, Frost Immortal Monarch Xu Qiu Ci, etc., jointly exterminated the Saint Demonic Monarch, and struck the 《Li Collapse Le Bad Saint Demonic Art》 back into the long river of time. I then took this opportunity, borrowing fragments of the Saint Demonic Art, to spread Mu Han Gong's inheritance message to various heavens and ten thousand worlds. Confined by the situation at the time, and not spread too widely, wandering in time, only those with fate saw it."

Speaking to the end, she gently shook her head: "Zhu You's power and wisdom, how could you have inherited them? You are too far off."

Jiang Wu Xie had already recovered some strength by this time, got up from Ji Huo Yu Ling's embrace, then heard this conversation, and for a moment, he knit his brows and was speechless.

The true Mu Han Gong was sealed inside Demonic Arts.

The true demonic spirit, however, became Mu Han Gong!

Floating Land world's long years were all manipulated by this demonic spirit from behind. Changing the sea into mulberry fields, altering historical chapters, shifting species and changing races. And only a wisp of remnant soul, a point of broken flesh, Mu Han Gong, sealed inside Demonic Arts, stirred some small variables as ripples, which after a thousand hundred years gathered and surged into shocking waves, overturning the demonic spirit!

With the entire Floating Land world as a chessboard, with ten million years as the game, such a game was indeed thrilling.

Ao Kui and Jiang Wang, who mistakenly entered it, even these young people who entered this world's layout through the Seven Star Tower secret realm, and all the beings of this Floating Land, all appeared so tiny. But can they only be described as 'tiny'?

Jiang Wu Xie involuntarily lifted his head to look at Jiang Wang. Jiang Wang quietly suspended beside Jing Li, holding a sword in his hand, standing straight like a pine. Everything in front of him seemed to have no great connection to him.

He exhaled a long breath, knowing that everything had ended, and thus lay back in Ji Huo Yu Ling's embrace again. Warm fragrance and soft jade as a pillow, the full sky of star river as a curtain. Everything on the battlefield became very quiet.

"Mu Han Gong!" The demonic spirit suddenly said: "Don't you admit that my methods were perfect? Don't you regret your death? Don't you think about returning?"

The dragon demon quietly looked at her.

After sealing the evil ghost heavenly way's entire body with eighteen thousand Dao seals, those hands full of fine dragon scales slowly pressed into the evil ghost heavenly way's chest.

The ten million voices of ghostly cries stopped for a moment!
