Qin Wentian was that constellation. It was just that right now, he was enveloped by boundless astral light, resembling a real constellation. No one could see his silhouette, they could only see the light radiating from him.
At this moment, the final Astral Gate vanished. What replaced it was a boundless starry sky. In his sea of consciousness, there seemed to be a starry sky with countless constellations illuminating it. Every time a constellation's radiance landed on Qin Wentian's body, another constellation would be lit up.
"After waiting for countless years, there is finally someone who can inherit my unfulfilled wish. I hope that one day, you will be able to transcend beyond the nine heavenly layers and look at the scenery outside. From now on, there will no longer be a Godking Xi in the nine heavenly layers." A voice rang out in Qin Wentian's mind. As the sound of his voice faded, a formless beam of light flowed into Qin Wentian's mind. Above the nine heavenly layers, the Gods Extinction Path seemed to radiate an illusory fluctuation that drilled into Qin Wentian's mind. At the same time, the scenes inside the Heaven Vault were also imprinted into Qin Wentian's mind.
At this moment, within the Heaven Vault, the statues on the ten stone pillars turned into stone statues, never to move again. The blood sea gradually dried up. There were no longer any evil spirits within. The ancient path that connected the nine heavenly layers was faintly discernible, as though it would vanish at any moment. Above the nine heavenly layers, the desolate space seemed to have no end. There were even more ancient corpses floating about. Other than this, there were actually many living figures.
"We're out."
"Finally, we're out."
Numerous voices rang out one after another. Those heavenly deities drew in a deep breath as their eyes flashed with the vicissitudes of life. They finally saw the nine heavenly layers again and could sense the loneliness and desolation of this space. They were no longer trapped in a spacetime maze.
Qin Zheng and his group were also here. He stood there and drew in a deep breath. Has the Gods Extinction Path vanished?
"Father." Qin Dangtian who was at the side called out. "We are out."
"Mhm." Qin Zheng nodded. He glanced at his wife beside him and held her hand. He then glanced at the heavenly deities beside him. In the Gods Extinction Path, the Qin Clan lost two heavenly deities. In the years after that, they were extremely cautious but there was still a heavenly deity who almost lost his life and was heavily injured. However, he was still saved by Qin Zheng based on his overwhelming strength.
It was like a nightmare, and now, it had finally ended.
It was not only a nightmare for Qin Zheng and the others, but also for the cultivators of the other forces. Although the Number One Fairy of the Nine Heavens, the Fairy of the Nine Heavens, was still as beautiful as ever, she still looked a little haggard. However, this added to her beauty.
"Haha, there is always a way out." A heavenly deity roared in joy. Heavenly deities had also experienced despair. However, since they were still alive, they might as well just treat it as a nightmare.
After the heavenly deities sighed, a question suddenly appeared in their hearts. Why did the Gods Extinction Path suddenly vanish?
Could it be that someone had discovered the secret of the Gods Extinction Path?
They glanced at the people in the surroundings. Although this space was very vast, it wasn't as vast as the Gods Extinction Path. Inside there, there seemed to be a chaotic spacetime. In fact, they might not even be in the same spacetime anymore.
"Qin Zheng, you are still alive." The Qiankun Sect Leader laughed.
"If you didn't die, how would I die?" Qin Zheng replied.
"Haha." The Qiankun Sect Leader laughed loudly. After that, he stepped out and flew towards the nine heavenly layers. "Sadly, after so many years, I didn't manage to discover anything."
All the cultivators stepped forward and descended to the ground.
"They are back, they are back." The people cultivating in the nine heavenly layers all had looks of excitement in their eyes when they saw the powerful figures flying down. The Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms lacked these people, wouldn't it be too boring? After all, these people were all heavenly deities and many of them were hegemons at the peak of their respective regions.
Qin Wentian also knew that they have exited. Just like what his grandfather has guessed, all of this was because of Godking Xi's brilliance. That Gods Extinction Path might have been formed from the boundless will of Godking Xi. His will covered the nine heavenly layers and created the Gods Extinction Path. How terrifying was this? Even heavenly deities had no way to exit it and might even die within.
Not only did Qin Wentian know that they have exited, he could also see many people entering the Heaven Vault from the outside world. Everything within the Heaven Vault was imprinted clearly in his mind. It was like the Heaven Vault was already under his control. He could sense an extremely terrifying existence that resembled Qin Zheng. However, the aura he exuded was even more terrifying compared to Qin Zheng.
This caused Qin Wentian to instantly think of a person. Qin Zheng's father, an existence who stood at the same level as his grandfather back then, Qin Ding of the Qin Clan.
He must have learned that his descendants were trapped in the Heaven Vault. This was why he rushed over.
This caused Qin Wentian to frown. Although he has already taken the most crucial step, this didn't mean that his strength would soar to the point where he could contend against Qin Ding. Cultivation was never something that could be accomplished in a single step. This transformation this time would allow him to walk on a path that no one has ever walked before. However, he needed time to comprehend it. During these two hundred plus years, his improvement was very great but he wasn't so arrogant to the point where he felt that he would be able to surpass the peak heavenly deities of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
To heavenly deities, two hundred plus years was truly a very short period of time.
Right now, Qin Zheng and his family came out and Qin Ding appeared. To him, this was undoubtedly a huge problem. Although he was in the boundless starry space and Qin Ding might not be able to find him, who knows if something unexpected would happen to a powerful existence like Qin Ding. In addition, he wasn't the only one in the Heaven Vault now. Qing'er and the others were also cultivating in the starry space.
Luckily, the Heaven Vault now was already under his control. In that case, these troubles wouldn't be a problem anymore.
With an intention of his will, the ancient heaven vault path that connected the nine heavenly layers to the nine heavenly layers gradually turned illusory, like it would vanish at any moment. At this instant, the gazes of many people on the ancient heaven vault path froze. What was going on?
"Mhm?" Qin Zheng and the other heavenly deities just arrived here when they saw the transformation of the ancient heaven vault path. They couldn't help but have strange looks in their eyes.
"What happened?" Someone asked in a light voice.
"The Gods Extinction Path is vanishing, the ancient heaven vault path is faintly discernible. Could it be that the ancient heaven vault path is going to vanish as well?" Someone frowned. The ancient heaven vault path turned from bright to dark. In fact, the ancient heaven vault path would occasionally vanish as though it no longer existed. This caused their hearts to clench. Seems like the ancient heaven vault path was truly going to be severed.
The ancient heaven vault pathway connected the Heaven Vault to the nine heavenly layers, shortening this boundlessly long distance into a single pathway. It traversed through the starry space and when it transformed, everyone in the starry space would be able to see it.
At this moment, many people had a thought in their minds. Should they return?
They didn't wish to return. During these two hundred years of cultivation, their improvements were extremely great, they could be said to have undergone a transformation.
There were also some world overlords who stepped into the deity realm.
Nobody wanted to return. What place could be more effective than comprehending the dao on a constellation?
Not even heavenly deities wanted to return.
However, if they didn't return, once the ancient heaven vault path completely vanished, they might be stuck in the starry space forever. It was unknown when they would be able to return to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Could it be that they would have to roam the boundless starry space forever?
The leaders of some major powers gave the order to retreat. For a period of time, many experts followed the ancient heaven vault path, heading towards the Heaven Vault with reluctance in their hearts.
Not only so, in the outside world, the entrance to the Heaven Vault was also undergoing a transformation. The entrance trembled, the crack in the sky was closing bit by bit. The hearts of many people trembled. Was the Heaven Vault about to close again?
In history, the opening and closing of the Heaven Vault had always been irregular. This time around, it seemed that the time for the Heaven Vault to close was about to arrive.
The Heaven Vault trembled. Many people took out their messaging crystals and contacted the elders in the Heaven Vault who were related to them, telling them the news that the Heaven Vault was about to close. Hence, this news circulated unceasingly. The experts in the nine heavenly layers all stopped their cultivation and prepared to leave.
"Wentian, the Heaven Vault is about to close. Where are you?" Luoshen Chuan's voice rang out in Qin Wentian's mind.
"Grandfather, just focus on your cultivation. There's no need to worry about this." Qin Wentian replied. Luoshen Chuan started when he heard Qin Wentian's voice. After that, he seemed to have understood something as a faint smile appeared on his face. Hence, he closed his eyes and continued to focus on his cultivation. He felt even more at ease compared to the past. He knew that from now onwards, the Heaven Vault would be controlled by his grandson.
"Wentian gege, are we going to return?" Bai Qing's voice rang out. After that, Qing 'er, Nanfeng Yaoyue, Little Rascal and the others all inquired about Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian gave them the same answer. He told them to focus on their cultivation and ignore the changes in the Heaven Vault. Hence, everyone continued to focus on their cultivation. For those who didn't ask about the Heaven Vault, Qin Wentian also took the initiative to inform them. Hence, other than Qin Wentian's friends and family, the other experts in the starry space all started to leave.
After Qin Ding arrived, he discovered that the Heaven Vault was about to close. He stared at the starry space and after that, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind. He felt slightly at ease in his heart. Qin Zheng and the others were all alive and were currently returning. Not long after, Qin Ding saw Qin Zheng and the others returning. However, two heavenly deities were missing.
"Father." Qin Zheng walked towards Qin Ding, wanting to speak. He had many things he wanted to say. In the Gods Extinction Path, he met Qin Tiangang.
"The Heaven Vault is about to close. Let's return first. We will talk on the way." Qin Ding spoke. Qin Zheng nodded. After that, the group of them returned. Qin Dangtian turned his head and glanced at the nine heavenly layers. His gaze was incomparably sharp, filled with reluctance. However, he still turned back and followed his grandfather, father and the others as they departed.
Outside the Heaven Vault, in the boundless sea region, at the point where the sky and the sea connected, more and more experts walked out from the Heaven Vault. Everyone understood that the storm that lasted for over two hundred years was finally about to end!
