Blood capillaries filled Di Tian's eyes, and he looked as if he was about to cry tears of blood. His robes fluttered without wind, and even the hair under his crown floated up. He had an unprecedentedly solemn look on his face. He used practically all his strength to ensure that the Life Matrix floating above him … did not shatter!
The Life Matrix shone with a dazzling light. The darkness contained a darkness that the night sky could not taint, causing the world to instantly turn black, as if it had turned into a black ocean that had submerged the entire world.
Di Tian had been Su Ming's destined enemy during the first half of his life, but at that moment, he was persistently protecting Su Ming's Life Matrix. This might sound ironic, but Di Tian's focused expression and hard work made it seem like it was not funny. Instead, it was a little sad.
He was powerless to get through the destruction, and in the face of his family and friends willingly dying to help him, he could not fail. He did not want to fail, and he could not accept failure.
There was no absolute right or wrong in the world. It did not matter whether it was Su Ming, Di Tian, Su Xuan Yi, or even Old Man Extermination, they were all the same. Perhaps some of their actions had harmed other people's interests and caused harm to other people, but from their perspective, they believed that they were right, and they had their own beliefs!
Take Arid Triad for example. No one could say that he was cruel and wrong, except for Harmonious Morus Alba! But Arid Triad wanted to survive. He wanted to continue existing. He wanted to become stronger. He could not accept becoming a life born in the Expanse Cosmos in the wings. He wanted to become the master of the Vast Expanse. This was his Dao, and he was not wrong!
Harmonious Morus Alba stood aloof from the world, but in the end, it ended up in such a state. It believed that everything in the world was wrong, and only it was right … but while it was a creator to all lives, it was also a destroyer. It wanted to become a complete version of itself and no longer die. Instead, it wanted to return home, but to the others, the price for it to return home was the destruction of itself and all the people around it.
As for Di Tian, wasn't he the same?
Once a person's level of cultivation reached a certain level and their intelligence reached its peak, they would be able to see through themselves, and they would also be able to see through others. They would understand everything. In truth, all serendipities and all their steps revolved around Dao!
Different Daos, different Daos!
Instead of saying that Harmonious Morus Alba's disaster had descended and destruction had appeared, it would be more accurate to say that the prodigies in Harmonious Morus Alba were verifying each other's Daos. Just who … would be the one who would truly succeed, and whose Dao … would be the Great Dao!
Su Ming had understood this a long time ago. That was why even though he could find Di Tian, he did not do so, because he had already seen through Di Tian, just like how Di Tian had seen through Su Ming.
Su Ming knew that all the things Di Tian did in the first half of his life were definitely not done on a whim. There was some sort of plan behind it. Su Ming could not guess what that plan was, but he could more or less guess what it was based on the countless clues he had gathered …
It was as like as possible!
If one wanted to copy it, they had to observe it. Even ordinary observation was not enough. Only after a strong immersion could they achieve a perfect copy. Only then would they be able to overlap with the real scene and become indistinguishable from each other!
Because if he failed, then it would be equivalent to Di Tian's copy being completely useless!
As for Su Xuan Yi … he might be a cunning person, he might be incredibly sinister, and his schemes were as deep as the sea, but once Su Ming ended things with him in the past, he had already understood that no matter how sinister this person was, in the end, he would not be plotting against Su Ming.
To Su Xuan Yi, he was just a person to be used in the early stages and not forever. His rise was an accident to Su Xuan Yi, an accident that would not change his plans.
Su Xuan Yi's target … was Old Man Extermination!
That was why when Su Ming left the fourth Expanse Cosmos in the past, he had mumbled that when he ran into Old Man Extermination again … would he still be Old Man Extermination? It was precisely because of this epiphany that Su Ming did not step into the fourth True World when he killed the powerful warriors of the previous aeons, because he knew that Su Xuan Yi was there.
Su Xuan Yi's enemy was Old Man Extermination. If that was the case, Su Ming would not interfere with him. The situation might seem chaotic and complicated, but in truth, Su Ming had long since smoothed it out in his mind.
His enemies were Arid Triad, Old Man Extermination, and … Harmonious Morus Alba, which Su Ming had just discovered!
It was just like what Arid Triad had said in the past. He was a cultivator, and Su Ming was also a cultivator, but Harmonious Morus Alba … was just a life form. When he questioned why Su Ming did not help him, he also questioned why Su Ming would help Harmonious Morus Alba.
If Su Ming had indeed been helping Harmonious Morus Alba at that time, then after experiencing everything and seeing the black-robed young man as well as Old Man Extermination, he was no longer helping either side. He … was a part of a camp!
This was the situation during the disaster. It might have seemed complicated and chaotic, but in truth, it was a very clear picture!
Almost at the moment Su Ming and Arid Triad's wind fused together, Harmonious Morus Alba arrived, and Di Tian ensured that his life matrix would not shatter, Old Man Extermination opened his eyes from the ancient ship hidden beside the gap in the fourth Expanse Cosmos.
The moment he opened his eyes, an aura of awakening suddenly circled around his body.
"The time … is finally up!" When Old Man Extermination mumbled, a brilliant light shone in his eyes. When he lifted his right hand, his gaze fell on it, as if he was staring at the palm lines on his palm.
During that instant, Su Xuan Yi shuddered in the floating palace in the fourth True World in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos. He lifted his head, and a profound smile appeared at the corners of his lips. His eyes shone with the greatest anticipation in his life, as if he had been waiting for countless years.
"My son … Lei Chen, my hands have been stained with blood, and I have killed countless people. Perhaps there are many people I have let down … but everything I have done is for the Abyss Builders to rise to power … for you!
"You will be the Abyss Builders' hope. You will be the future tribe leader of the Abyss Builders who will rise to power once more in the Vast Expanse!" Su Xuan Yi stood up slowly. When he lowered his head, a rattle-drum appeared on his palm.
Su Ming had once possessed that drum, but at that time, he did not know that Lei Chen also had one … However, the one Su Ming had was created by his elder, and the one Lei Chen had … belonged to Su Xuan Yi.
"Lei Chen, my son, I will create an unprecedented chance for you. A chance … that will allow you to Possess Old Man Extermination!
"This is the greatest plan I, Su Xuan Yi, have been planning for my entire life!" Su Xuan Yi swung his arm, and madness appeared on his face. He had been waiting for this day for a long, long time. He had personally seen his father, the Abyss Builders' Progenitor, foolishly loyal to Old Man Extermination. He had also personally witnessed the destruction of the fifth True World, but in truth, the one who had truly attacked … was his father!
He had seen everything. He had also seen Old Man Extermination controlling the Abyss Builders' Progenitor after his father. In fact, he had even learned many secrets that the other members of his race did not know, such as that the Abyss Builders were in truth a race led by Old Man Extermination.
The only value in the race's existence was for Old Man Extermination to study them, as if he wanted to find something from them. Su Xuan Yi had watched his race die, watched his family turn into ashes as they screamed shrilly, and watched his homeland, the fifth True World that only existed in his memories, turn into ruins …
He hated the Abyss Builders' Progenitor. He hated his own bloodline, and he hated all the lives in the universe. From that moment onwards, his personality completely changed. A crazy but stubborn thought appeared in the depths of his heart.
'With the Abyss Builders' inborn ability, Possess … Old Man Extermination! If I can't do it, then I will make my son do it! ' Su Xuan Yi threw his head back and laughed. This was his plan. Only by doing so could he be considered to have taken revenge for his people, for the fifth True World, and for the Abyss Builders!
For revenge, he could sacrifice his wife. For revenge, he could sacrifice his best friend's son. For revenge, he could even lose his humanity. All of this … was about to come to an end. Su Xuan Yi's gaze landed on Lei Chen, who was meditating in front of him.
The gratification and kindness of a father gradually appeared in his eyes. After a long while … when a vortex gradually appeared behind Su Xuan Yi, Su Xuan Yi did not hesitate in the slightest. He turned around and stepped into it.
At the instant he stepped into the vortex, Old Man Extermination's ancient voice echoed in his heart.
"Son of Abyss Builders … based on the promise I made with your race, turn into my palm, and stir up the funeral knell that throws time into chaos … stir up … the resentment that seals your wills!
"Only the resentment of those born in the True World can bury the peak of all lives in this True World. Only the resentment of those who come from the same source as you can seal the strongest in this True World!"
As Old Man Extermination's words echoed in space, Su Xuan Yi's body distorted in the vortex. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a palm. It was white and looked as if it was spotless. With a swing, it shot out of the vortex, but it was no longer in the Fourth True World. Instead … it was in Dark Dawn and Saint Defier's camp!
"You are my palm. Turn into the palm lines of my will!" A glint appeared in Old Man Extermination's eyes as he stood on the ancient ship in the fourth Expanse Cosmos. The palm print Su Ming had left behind on the wooden ship in front of him instantly disappeared, but as it did so … the exact same palm lines gradually appeared on the palm formed by Su Xuan Yi!
"The sacrifice … will begin!" For the first time in many years, Old Man Extermination stood up. His long hair moved without wind, and when he swung his arm, he let out a low voice. When his voice echoed in space … the huge Feng Shui compass appeared in the Vast Expanse beyond Harmonious Morus Alba's Expanse!
The black-robed young man meditating on the Feng Shui compass held the seventh pearl in his hand. His eyes were aloof as he stared at the Harmonious Morus Alba filled with the aura of death not too far away from him!
He … came!
