At the instant the three of them looked towards the crystal mirror, Su Ming, who had been meditating for nearly a hundred years on Abyss Builder Planet in the Fifth True World, opened his eyes.
There was calmness in his eyes. As he stared at his mother's statue before him, he sighed softly.
'I can only see my mother's statue here because I've seen my mother before … I've never seen Su Xuan Yi, which is why his statue is headless. I've never seen Abyss Builders' Progenitor either, which is why … his statue is also headless. 'Su Ming stood up and looked at the entire Abyss Builder Planet.
'This planet is exactly the same as what I imagined it to be …
'This Expanse Cosmos is also exactly the same as what I imagined it to be …' Su Ming shook his head. He took a step into the air, and in an instant, he appeared in the galaxy.
"In the past, I imagined that this planet should be near, which was why Abyss Builder Planet appeared. Now, I think that the fifth Abyss River should be in front of me …" As Su Ming mumbled, he lowered his head, and when he lifted it again, the fifth Abyss River appeared in front of him.
He saw the corpses in the river. Only their backs could be seen, not their faces.
'This is because even in my imagination, I've never seen all of you before. That's why I can't imagine all of your different appearances.'
Su Ming shook his head and walked towards the galaxy.
'I might not want to believe it, but one hundred years ago, at the moment I saw the statue, I guessed … that this isn't the fifth True World, and Abyss Builder Planet isn't here either.
'The true fifth True World isn't here. What a lie, what a lie!' A fierce glare appeared in Su Ming's eyes.
At the instant Su Ming said those words, the galaxy around him suddenly shuddered. All the shattered stones in it disappeared, and all the dust disappeared without a trace. The entire space distorted and turned into an arc.
That arc was formed after the entire galaxy was distorted. It rotated slowly in front of Su Ming, and when it turned to face him, his heart trembled with a bang.
This was because he saw that after the starry sky warped, what appeared in front of him was shockingly … an enormous mask!
The white Nether River was a line between the eyes on the mask. The two voids on both sides of the Nether River had been like eyes in the past, but now … they were the hollow eyes of the mask.
Su Ming would never forget that mask. It was … the Mask of Extinction that he had been forced to wear on his face when he was in Yin Death Region. It was the mask that cut off his emotions and desires!
Due to the mask, Su Ming had come to Divine Essence Star Ocean. Right then, after one thousand something years, he saw the mask again, and an epiphany rose swiftly in his heart.
"Searching for your king in the past was just like the rumors in the world outside saying that this is the entrance to the Fifth True World. It was all a lie! This scam didn't just deceive me, it also deceived … the first God of Berserkers, Lie Shan Xiu! 'A brilliant light shone in Su Ming's eyes. At that moment, he had completely understood everything.
"This is a legacy. A legacy … just like the four masked people of the fifth ocean's guardians. If my guess is correct, there were originally not four masked people here, but five!
"And after happiness, anger, grief, and resentment is the Mask of Extinction that cuts off all emotions and desires. From the moment you asked me to wear the mask and come to Divine Essence Star Ocean, you didn't ask me to search for your king, neither did you ask me to search for the entrance to the Fifth True World. You asked me to become the fifth envoy of this place!
"I also understand why Lie Shan Xiu's statue had such a complicated and dazed expression in the past … because he might have already noticed some clues at that time, but in the end … he still stepped into your scam.
"One of the four masked people … is Lie Shan Xiu!" A brilliant light shone in Su Ming's eyes. At that moment, his epiphany caused his mind to instantly become clear.
Su Ming's heart trembled, because he remembered his Master, Tian Xie Zi. He was almost certain that if Tian Xie Zi was still alive, then one of the four masked people … would definitely be Tian Xie Zi!
It did not matter whether it was Lie Shan Xiu, Tian Xie Zi, or Su Ming, all three of them had one similarity, and that was … all three of them … came from Yin Death Region!
If Su Ming looked at it that way, then what caused his heart to tremble again was … who would be the third and fourth person among the four?!
"Wear this mask and become the fifth great envoy of Dark Dawn Ocean. The bearer of the Mask of Extinction … will know everything you want to know. You will know all the secrets regarding Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos, the Fifth True World, and the Abyss Builders.
"Become the Envoy of Extinction, and you will no longer have any worries or doubts. You will be given … eternal life!
"This is your fate, and you cannot fight against it. From the moment you put on the mask and were sent into Divine Essence Star Ocean, the path of your life was already decided. No matter how you change it, you will still not be able to escape … Your fate is to become the bearer of the Mask of Extinction in Dark Dawn Ocean!" An ancient voice with an aloofness and supreme, mighty pressure tumbled out of the mouth of the gigantic galaxy mask with loud rumbles.
There was no way Su Ming could forget that voice. It belonged to the ancient will that had threatened his senior brothers' lives in Yin Death Region all those years ago and forced him to put on the mask!
"You cannot refuse, you cannot refuse … You do not have the right to refuse. You are the chosen. You are … my Envoy of Extinction!" His voice reverberated in the air. When it shook space, the mask formed by the gigantic galaxy swiftly enveloped Su Ming with a loud bang.
A powerful, mighty pressure swiftly gathered on Su Ming's body, causing him to be unable to move even a single inch. However, at the instant it descended and Su Ming sensed that he could not move, his cultivation base clone, which was Dao Kong's original body, suddenly spread out … a power that allowed him to instantly regain mobility.
More accurately speaking, that power was not power, but a presence!
That presence was long and drawn-out, and it also contained a supreme will. It fought against the incoming mask with a bang.
Su Ming could sense that presence. It … came from True Morning Dao World. It was … the power of kismet! This was the kismet of all of True Morning Dao World. It was forcefully interfering with everything, because Dao Kong's body was the body that True Morning Dao World's kismet doted on, and right then, it was clear that there was a power from the world beyond clashing violently against that kismet.
"Su Xuan Yi, even if you have predicted everything and intentionally delivered this physical body to this child so that he would possess kismet, I have predicted this a long time ago. There is no way I will let you succeed!" As the mask charged forward, its ancient and cold voice echoed in the air with loud rumbles.
At the instant that voice echoed in the air, the gigantic mask turned around and had its back turned towards Su Ming. Countless white threads crawled out from within. As they squirmed about, they spread out, looking incredibly terrifying. The white threads intersected with each other to form a gigantic face.
There was an ancient air to that face, and its expression was apathetic, as if it was just a piece of human skin. It was filled with white threads, and when it charged towards Su Ming, it crashed into the invisible kismet.
Booming sounds reverberated in the air, and the ancient voice from the mask spread out.
"To deal with your Morning Dao World's kismet, I have prepared for tens of thousands of years and gathered the Face of Misfortune of True Morning Dao World to break the kismet you brought here. Scatter!"
When he said those words, booming sounds shook the sky and earth. The space around him trembled, and the Morning Dao World's kismet that came from Su Ming's cultivation base clone immediately tumbled away and crumbled.
Without Morning Dao World's kismet, the face formed by the threads scattered and turned into countless squirming threads again. At the instant they charged towards Su Ming, the mask formed by the galaxy swiftly shrank, but at the instant it closed in on Su Ming, Ecang's presence erupted from his body with a bang, and Ecang's body appeared behind him.
"Puny Ecang, if you were at the peak of your strength, you would still have some strength. After all, you are the life in the old man's ballad … but now, shatter!" The cold voice echoed in the air again. With a bang, Su Ming's entire body was covered in blood, and Ecang's body behind him shattered to pieces.
"This is your fate, a fate you cannot avoid. You … are my Envoy of Extermination!" As the cold voice spoke, the mask formed by the galaxy shrank continuously until it returned to its normal size. In an instant, it enveloped Su Ming's face, and countless white threads crawled madly into his skin and flesh. They connected tightly with his flesh and blood, intending to forcefully put the mask back on his body.
"From now on, you will no longer have a name. You will only have one title, and it will be … Extermination!" As the old man's voice echoed in the air, Su Ming shuddered. The mask enveloped his face, and intense pain filled his entire body. Madness appeared in his eyes.
'Black stone fragment, Seed of Life Extermination, remove this mask and find its flaws!' As Su Ming roared in his heart, the Seed of Life Extermination in his soul shone with a powerful light. That light instantly spread out from Su Ming's soul, seeped through his body, and erupted from within him.
That light was made up of nine colors intersecting with each other. Once Su Ming's body was enveloped by it, it was as if another figure had appeared on his body. It was an old man dressed in a white robe, and he was an existence in the universe that stood above all lives.
It was … the Old Man Extermination.
However, in the Old Man Extermination's eyes was Su Ming's madness. He slowly lifted his right hand and pushed it against the mask on his face. At the instant his right hand touched the mask, it let out a piercing, shrill scream of pain, as if it had gained life. As it screamed, it changed rapidly under Su Ming's right hand, as if all the structures within it were being disintegrated.
It was also at this moment that the ancient voice that came from both the mask and the void revealed a tone of astonishment for the first time, and it rapidly reverberated in the air.
"This … This is … the Old Man Extermination, you are this generation's Extermination. This is impossible, this is …" For the first time, there was panic in the voice, and there was shock in it that had never been heard before. As it echoed in the air, the mask Su Ming's right hand touched immediately melted. As the layers disappeared, Su Ming's face was revealed.
A loud bang rang out, and at the instant the mask disappeared, the space in the area crumbled. Layer by layer, everything in the area shattered, and as it did, the old man let out a roar filled with unwillingness to accept his fate.
"Dark Mountain … Xiao Hong … fragment … Seed of Life Extermination … Su Xuan Yi, so this is your counterattack! I can't accept this! I can't accept this!"
Boom!
The space completely crumbled to reveal the fifth ocean, along with the blue crystal mirror that had been reduced to fragments that swept through the area. There was also the strongest storm that swept through the entire fifth ocean in a violent manner.
The fourth volume, Rise of Divine Essence, had ended.
From tomorrow onwards, the fifth volume, My Morning Dao World, will be revealed!
