At the instant Su Ming's soul occupied a five-tenths of the golden venous pathways and he saw the scene that shocked him, the second half of the divine thought the bald crane had sent to him with its remaining strength before it fainted appeared in his heart.
"... You have to remember to give me crystals … because even if I'm unconscious, I managed to delay that damned Ecang … for some time. I don't know how long I can keep it bewitched for. You have to be quick …"
When the bald crane's divine thought completely disappeared, Ecang's enraged roar reverberated in the air. Its divine thought swept through the area, but it could not leave a certain area.
At the same time, Su Ming saw a picture appearing in his soul. He saw a galaxy.
Among the stars, there was a golden sea, and inside the sea was a golden cultivation planet. On that cultivation planet was a golden tree...
There was nothing special about it, and it was far from being able to make Su Ming's soul nearly freeze … but this was only the first time he saw it.
Su Ming could not describe the world he saw at that moment. He only felt that everything he saw at that moment reminded him of the spider webs he had seen in Dark Mountain when he was still a child.
The threads were connected together to form a spider web that looked like a small lattice. It was the image that appeared in Su Ming's mind when he saw the world.
Beyond the galaxy with the golden ocean, the golden planet, and the golden tree was another galaxy that was exactly the same. There were many other similar galaxies at its edge, and there was no end to them. When a person saw the same galaxy, they could not help but feel their hearts tremble, and in fact … a hint of despair would rise in them.
One hundred thousand galaxies, one hundred thousand golden oceans, one hundred thousand golden planets, and one hundred thousand … golden trees!
The pictures that appeared in Su Ming's soul caused his heart to roar. In fact, he saw ninety-seven of the one hundred thousand galaxies with ninety-seven cultivators in them. Some of them were still in the golden ocean, some were close to the golden planets, and some were struggling in the highest layer of wind.
Su Ming had seen these people before. They … were most of the one hundred and twenty-four people who had stepped into the stone monument's test to make it reach one million feet.
As for the dozens of people missing, it was clear that those people had already failed.
'I used up everything I had, and even the baldy was heavily injured and unconscious. Only then did I manage to Possess half of it … But … what I thought was half of it was only half of one of the one hundred thousand galaxies, one hundred thousand cultivation planets, and one hundred thousand Ecang trees.
"How … can I Possess this sort of living being..?" Su Ming mumbled. He was shocked by what he saw, and at the same time, despair rose in his heart.
It could even be said that there was no such thing as a Possession. That was because there was no one who could Possess a hundred thousand of them. If there really was someone who could do it with their powerful cultivation, then … there was no need for that person to Possess them. That was because the person who could do it was definitely one of the strongest in the world.
"Is it really impossible for me to succeed?"
"Am I really going to fail like this …"
"Could it be that all my previous efforts, almost a thousand years of struggle, hundreds of years of waiting, will be in vain? Will it all be a joke?"
"Could it be that the baldy's heavy injuries had even bought me some time, but all I got in return is a fate that will bring despair to me?"
"Could it be that I'm going to give up just like this and only be able to leave this place after tens of thousands of years? I'll become a common mortal like the others? I'll only be an ant for the rest of my life, a person whose fate is controlled by others, who can only watch the lives and deaths of the people I want to protect being controlled by the powerful over and over again!" Violent ripples spread out from Su Ming's soul. Once the one hundred thousand planets appeared, he went through a blow of despair. It made him, who had originally thought that he was halfway to success, suddenly realize that his success was so small that it was laughably small, and he could not accept this reality.
"I will absolutely not give up, much less accept this. I … am Su Ming. I am an Abyss Builder. I have lived a miserable life, and I have never been able to control my own fate. In fact, even my physical body was sealed by the Immortals. Right now, I only have a wisp of my soul left!
"Universe, fate, just how long are you going to continue toying with me?!" Frenzied ripples spread out from Su Ming's soul, and his roars shook the sky and earth. Those roars contained Su Ming's rebellion against fate, and for the first time in his life, he was truly and completely fighting against fate.
At the instant the powerful ripples spread out from Su Ming's soul, the one hundred thousand galaxies, one hundred thousand golden oceans, and one hundred thousand planets suddenly started trembling, as if they were being shaken by the madness in Su Ming's soul.
Booming sounds continued without end, and the tremors continued in the one hundred thousand galaxies, causing the expressions of the ninety-seven people who were going through the test to suddenly change drastically. Almost all of them looked around themselves, at a loss, not knowing what was going on. The golden ocean roared and tumbled about, and the galaxy they were in started trembling as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking.
"You asked me to grow in Dark Mountain, then you snatched it away, and now you're telling me that all of this is just a dream?!" Su Ming laughed long and hard. There was ridicule in his laughter, along with a roar towards the heavens and fate.
The one hundred thousand galaxies started trembling even more furiously. In fact, cracks even appeared in some of them, and black smoke surged into the sky from the half of the venous pathways Su Ming occupied. It tumbled about violently and spread out with a bang.
"You allowed me to come to the ninth summit and gave me warmth, but in the end, you laughed coldly and took all of it away. You made it all just a dream, and you manipulated my fate as if I was a puppet!" Su Ming's laughter was shrill and forlorn. The one hundred thousand galaxies roared with him, and the faces of the ninety-seven people who were going through the test turned stark pale. They might not know what was going on, but they could sense that there was a crazed will in the galaxy they were in.
That will was filled with an unwillingness to accept fate and a rebellion against the universe, and it was spreading out violently.
"You made me the God of Berserkers, but once I became the God of Berserkers, you took everything from me. You made me watch Yu Xuan close her eyes, watch Bai Su disappear, watch everyone die, and you made me leave the land of Berserkers and come to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence …
"You made me possess great power, but you also forced me into the foreign land and trapped me for one thousand years!" As the black smoke tumbled about in the half of the venous pathways Su Ming occupied, the black venous pathways immediately started distorting and gradually turned into a face. That face belonged to Su Ming.
His expression was ferocious, and his laughter became even shriller as he fought against fate.
"You gave me the possibility of obtaining a great serendipity in the foreign land, and you even allowed me to occupy half of the venous pathways, but in the end, you told me that all of this … is just half of one of the one hundred thousand trees.
"Fate, universe, just how long are you going to continue toying with me? In your eyes, am I truly unable to fight back and kill you?!"
The one hundred thousand star systems rumbled at the same time, and all of them trembled violently. Cracks spread out from the one hundred thousand star systems, and strands of black gas came out from those cracks. The black gas continued to spread out, and more and more of it appeared. In the end, it formed one hundred thousand faces.
One hundred thousand of Su Ming's faces!
This was not naturally caused by Su Ming's roars, and neither was it because of his roars that the laws of the world had opened up a gap for him to do this. It was also not because Su Ming possessed some sort of strange ability that allowed him to make all the people in the area bow their heads and worship him with just his roars alone.
He had been able to do this and form one hundred thousand faces because he did not know that he had occupied half of the venous pathways in one tree, which meant that he had occupied half of all the venous pathways in all the trees.
One hundred thousand trees … were in truth just one tree!
If he obtained one, he would obtain all of them!
However, if Su Ming had given up due to despair, then he would have still failed in the end. It was precisely because of his persistence and persistence that he had the chance to see the true face and … the chance to Possess it once more!
Sometimes, as long as one tried their best to break through, they might discover that the line between truth and falsehood, between illusion and reality, was only a thin line!
The logic behind it was simple, and it might seem easy, but how many people could truly do it … There was a bottomless abyss before them, and how many people would dare to take that step forward?
It was just like a person climbing a mountain. He originally thought that he had climbed half of the way up, and when there was still half of the way up, he would be filled with strength … but if he originally thought that there was only half of the way up, but when he lifted his head, he suddenly discovered that this half was insignificant, and when there was still a boundless cliff above him, his strength would fade away with despair. He would no longer be able to hold onto the wall, and he would fall to his death. How many people would be able to persevere and climb up?!
This was the true reason why Su Ming could make the one hundred thousand faces made of black smoke appear in the one hundred thousand galaxies!
"Ever since I could remember, I have never given up. I have always been moving forward, and there has always been an obsession in my heart. Even if that obsession has turned into obsession, even if it has tormented me and driven me mad, I have never given up on any possibility.
"Do you know why I did all of this … Do you know what made me do this?!
"Because when I was young, I wanted to find my elder. Because when I grew up, I learned that my memories were just a dream. Because when I became the God of Berserkers, I learned that everything was just someone else's plan. All of these things accumulated in my heart, and time after time, they pressed down on me until I could not breathe, and I even thought about not struggling …
"But I could not accept it. I did not want to become a puppet. I did not want to be manipulated by fate, because I knew that unless you could truly crush me, there would come a day when I would stand up and trample on fate. I would make all my enemies in the universe, and I would dye the world red with their blood. I would make them despair!"
Su Ming's face formed by the one hundred thousand galaxies and the one hundred thousand black smoke let out a sword cry against fate at the same time. As the booming sounds reverberated in the air, besides the faces in Su Ming's venous pathways, all the other faces rushed towards the golden ocean, the golden cultivation planet, and the golden tree!
