Chapter 422, The Inheritance of Xihe
"So, who's going?"
When the founder of the Giant Axe asked this question, the Azure Shadow Palace fell into a deathly silence.
The power of the Beast of the Realm is well known; it is so powerful that it can bring a severe sense of oppression to many powerful beings without even appearing in front of them. This is a disaster that has never occurred in any previous era of reincarnation since the powerful beings of the Cosmic Sea were able to find records in the three forbidden zones.
Moreover, the three True Gods had previously only been able to injure but not kill a World Beast, so this team absolutely could not be weaker than those three True Gods. In fact, this had already eliminated most of the True Gods.
"I will lead the team. One True God will emerge from the first and second Reincarnation Eras, and two more True Gods will emerge from the Primordial Universe, for a total of five." In the dead silence, Ye Muxuan, dressed in a plain white robe, suddenly spoke, his gaze sweeping over the other eleven True Gods present. "My requirements are that, in addition to the strength of the tenth rank, one must have a high will and a large divine body."
Without tenth-tier strength and Void-level willpower, one is merely cannon fodder when facing World Beasts, and the size of one's divine body determines whether one can survive an encounter with a World Beast.
"Master of the Shadow Blade!"
"Shadow Blade!"
"teacher!"
"Mu Xuan!"
As soon as Ye Muxuan finished speaking, many True Gods present began to speak.
"With the Shadow Blade Master leading the team, I believe many True Gods are willing to go together." The Divine Eye True Lord narrowed his eyes, looking at Ye Muxuan, who had stood up and become even more unfathomable, and slowly said, "We will carefully consider the candidates in the first cycle of reincarnation."
"Our second reincarnation era is the same," Juehe True God spoke, representing the True God of the second reincarnation era making a statement.
"Then, go back and prepare. We don't have much time. The longer we drag this out, the stronger the World Beasts will become. It would be best to resolve the World Beast calamity during its gestation period." Ye Muxuan, dressed in a pure white robe, stood up. The Azure Shadow True God and the Chaos True God Galaxy Lord also stood up. "Everyone, this is not just a matter for one or two True Gods. It is a catastrophe for the entire universe."
"Rest assured, Lord of Shadow Blade!" The Divine Eye True Lord, dressed in white robes like an ordinary old man, stood up and responded, a sharp glint flashing deep in his eyes.
Many of the true gods from the first and second cycles of reincarnation have already left. Inside the Azure Shadow Palace, only dozens of true gods from the primordial universe era remain, along with three ancestral gods, the Nine Nether True Lord, the Zerg Queen Golden Horn True God, and other true gods, all looking at Ye Muxuan.
"Teacher, I'll go too." Luo Feng's twelve wings fluttered slightly. "My Demon Slayer Clan clone has reached the second level, and my divine body is hundreds of millions of kilometers long, which is perfect for exploration."
"Teacher!" The nine fox tails behind the Azure Shadow True God swayed slightly, and her captivating face looked at Ye Muxuan as she spoke, "I want to go too."
"Nine Netherworld, Empress, Golden Horn, your Ancestral God Sect, the Demon Insect Clan Alliance, and the Starry Sky Beast Alliance have more than fifty True Gods. Is it alright to choose one of them to go with us?" Ye Muxuan's gaze fell on the Nine Netherworld True Lord and the Insect Clan Empress as he spoke. Although it seemed like he was asking a question, he was actually making a decision directly.
The Nine Nether True Lord glanced at the Zerg Queen, then at the Golden Horn True God, and said, "No problem."
In the primordial universe era, humanity had the most True Gods, followed by the Ancestral God Cult, then the Demon Insect Clan Alliance and the Starry Sky Beast Alliance. These three forces combined had over fifty True Gods, so selecting a suitable one shouldn't be a problem.
"Then, let's get ready." Ye Muxuan suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the spaceship, his eyebrows raised slightly in surprise. "We'll set off within a few epochs at most."
"Can."
"OK."
The Nine Netherworld True Lord and the Zerg Queen both agreed, and then began to discuss which True God should be dispatched.
Meanwhile, the thirty-odd True Gods from the Human Race's Hong Alliance surrounded the Shadow Blade Master, the founder of the Giant Axe. Among them were several True Gods from Ye Muxuan's sect and several True Gods from Luo Feng's sect.
"Mu Xuan, I'll go with you." The Giant Axe Founder, with his hair disheveled, had a piercing gaze, sharp and piercing. "You know my strength; I'm not afraid of any Upper Realm Beasts."
Over countless eons, the creator of the giant axe's self-created secret technique, the "Seventeenth" of the third array pattern, has reached the threshold of the tenth rank. In other words, among the twelve overlords, apart from the Nine Nether True Lord who is slightly weaker, the other true gods, with the help of mechanical treasures and divine power burning secret techniques, are all able to unleash the top power of the eleventh rank.
Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, withdrew his gaze, looked at the many True Gods present, and said, "It is acceptable."
Qing Shuang and Luo Feng frowned inwardly; they were strong too.
"Luo Feng, you're stuck at the last step right now. This is the most urgent matter. You don't need to get involved in anything else for the time being." Ye Muxuan turned to look at Luo Feng and said, "Moreover, if this operation alarms the World Beasts and they appear in the Cosmic Sea on a large scale, you, Chaos, Qing Shuang, and the Mechanical Father God will all need to form a team to fight against the World Beasts."
"Giant Axe and I entered the Dark Land, where we are likely to perish. My avatar is still in the spaceship and cannot return for the time being."
Over countless epochs, both of them remained at 89999 times in terms of life gene multiplication, just one step away from the final third level of 90,000 times.
The blood of the World Beast is the means to break through to this step, which is why he personally led the team. As long as they obtain some of the World Beast's blood, both he and Luo Feng will have the opportunity to advance further.
Even if it's not a perfect divine body, if it can reach an infinite divine body, then there will be hope of dealing with or even enslaving world beasts.
"Is the teacher's avatar still on the spaceship?"
"Mu Xuan, is your Huangjie clone on the spaceship?"
Upon hearing this, all the True Gods present were dumbfounded. Over countless epochs, Ye Muxuan's whereabouts had been elusive, and his main body had always been stationed in the primordial universe. Everyone assumed that his Hengyi clone was honing his skills in the Jin world, but they never expected him to be in the cosmic ark.
After the spaceship was impacted by the Jin world, are the old maps still useful?
"The Ancestral God said that the Cosmic Ship was originally built to deal with the World Beasts—" Ye Muxuan suddenly looked up, and the many True Gods present also subconsciously looked up. A powerful, ancient, and vast will faintly lingered above the Azure Shadow Palace. "—I'll go find out what methods we can use to deal with the World Beasts."
The many true gods looked at the void above their heads, then at the Lord of Shadow Blades, and finally fell silent.
"So—has the teacher been found?" After a while, True God Qingying broke the silence and asked.
"We've found several kinds of random inheritances and a few divine treasures, but not many useful things." Ye Muxuan nodded, there was no need to hide anything.
Given his current status and position, even if he possessed a divine treasure, no one would dare ask him to hand it over for the sake of the greater good; he *is* the greater good.
Originally, the plan was to send Hengque's clone to the Dark Land, since Hengque's clone had no soul and had an innate advantage against the Beasts of the Realm. However, the complete Xiyue Mirror was involved in the inheritance of the Great Sage Xihe, and he was not confident that he could receive the inheritance within tens of thousands of years and still return in time, so he had no choice but to send his main body.
Qingying True God sighed softly.
"Everyone, go back and prepare." Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, looked at the many True Gods of the human race and the Hong Alliance and spoke, "We need to prepare for—war!"
Spaceship, core area, Star Moon Sea.
10081 stars slowly rotated, releasing a hazy, soft light, like a thin mist and veil, permeating the entire Sea of Stars and Moon.
The Hengyi clone, whose divine body reached 700 million kilometers, stood in the Star Moon Sea. Before him appeared the complete Xiyue Mirror. The hazy moonlight emanating from its 10081 facets coalesced into the figure of a peerless woman, floating on the mirror's surface. Bathed in that soft light, she slowly rotated.
The giant single eye of Hengxie's clone gazed at the 10081 slowly rotating stars, then at the rotating figure of Xiyue, formed from moonlight, and blinked.
He has studied various array formations for billions of epochs, and it is clear that the angle and frequency of rotation of these two are related.
One day, one year, one hundred years —
Xi Yue's originally hazy figure became clearer and clearer, no longer as blurry as looking at flowers through the fog, and her beautiful features gradually became apparent.
After an entire era, the sun and moon ceased to rotate, revealing their complete form as if they truly existed.
The clone of Huang Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, Xi Yue's figure collapsed inward, and strands of moonlight gathered together. Under the gaze of Heng Que's clone, it collapsed into a silver ball of light, just like a drop of blood!
The light that permeated the Star Moon Sea receded, 10081 stars collapsed, and the entire Star Moon Sea was plunged into absolute darkness, so much so that even Huang Que's clone could not discern the direction.
Once the Hengque clone regained its "sight" and "perception," the 10081 stars had collapsed into star cores, and finally turned into streams of light that entered the 10081 facets of the Xiyue Mirror.
The Radiant Moon Mirror shone brightly, and a profound aura of primordial power, almost as heavy as the ancient pressure of the Mysterious Spirit Tower, permeated the entire Star Moon Sea!
Huang Que's clone recognized it immediately; it was the profound aura of a Chaos Treasure on the same level as the Xuanling Tower.
The Dawn Moon Mirror's true form is actually a Chaos Treasure!
The drop of silver blood silently merged into the Xiyue Mirror. The Xiyue Mirror, which had been floating in front of Hengque's clone, fell into his hand. Xiyue's peerless figure appeared on the mirror, and an ethereal voice rang out: "Master, Xiyue has fully awakened all her memories and can help you obtain the Xihe inheritance."
"And who are you?" Huang Que's clone gripped the Xi Yue Mirror, its enormous single eye staring at the reflection on the mirror, ignoring her stunning beauty, and said, "You are not the spirit of the Xi Yue Mirror."
Huangyi's clone originally intended to leave the spaceship and return to the original universe, but because Xiyue said she knew where the Xihe inheritance was and could take him there, he followed her into the Star Moon Sea.
For safety reasons, he only sent his Hengque clone with the Xiyue Mirror into the Star Moon Sea, while his Qingyuzhu clone, riding in the True God Palace with many treasures, stayed outside and did not come in.
He originally thought that Xi Yue was the spirit of the Xi Yue Mirror, just like the tower spirit in the Azure Crystal Jade Pagoda, but now it seems that she is not.
"————" The woman in the Xiyue Mirror remained silent.
Gradually, Xi Yue's pure and clear eyes fell on Huang Que's clone, revealing an unparalleled aura of dominance over the universe.
Huang Que's enormous clone stared at her with a single eye, refusing to budge an inch.
"I am Xihe!" The woman of unparalleled beauty spoke from within the Xiyue Mirror, her five words revealing a wealth of information.
"If it's convenient, you can speak." Huang Que's clone stared at the woman who called herself Xi He and spoke slowly.
"Before that, I'd like to ask, has the Beast of the Realm truly been born in this era?" Xihe asked from inside the Mirror of the Moon.
A glint flashed in the single eye of Huangyi's clone, its gaze fixed intently on Xihe.
"Yes."
"As expected." Inside the Xiyue Mirror, Xihe's gaze swept over Hengyi's clone, landing on the Star Moon Sea behind him, and even piercing through the Star Moon Sea to look at the Cosmic Sea, directly facing the Primordial Universe. "In this era, the Realm Beast has indeed been born."
"There are too many things I cannot say because of the suppression of the primordial will. I will only tell you if you have the chance to transcend reincarnation in the future," Xihe said, looking at Huangque's clone. "What I can tell you now is that I once made a pact with the primordial will of the original universe: if a Realm Beast is born, it can no longer suppress my birth. I will find a successor and do my best to solve the Realm Beast problem. Similarly, my life imprint can return to the primordial universe with the help of others."
As it turned out, it was indeed blocked by the original will.
Hengque's clone looked up at the chaotic energy in the sky that seemed to be gathering. He knew that the primordial will was watching him, or rather, watching Xihe.
"I understand." Tianxun's clone nodded. This Xihe is most likely the same as Zuoshanke, except that Zuoshanke successfully reincarnated as a primordial universe life form, while Xihe simply preserved her life imprint in the Xiyue Mirror.
If the Beast of the Realm had not been born, the Xiyue Mirror, which preserved Xihe's life imprint, would likely have been suppressed by the primordial will and not found by other powerful beings, even if it hadn't encountered the Beast of the Realm, the inheritance of the Broken East River, or even the arrival of the Jin World. Furthermore, the Mountain Hermit had cultivated Luo Feng, a genius in this era. Even without the Beast of the Realm, the inheritance of the Broken East River, or even the arrival of the Jin World, Luo Feng, after inheriting the Star Tower, would have had a high probability of surviving the cycle of reincarnation.
Xihe gave him a strange look, and strands of moonlight appeared on the 10081 facets of the Xiyue Mirror, eventually coalescing into a picture.
"This is one of the core inheritances of the Wu Kingdom, the 'Three Lives Scroll,' which can lead directly to the peak level. I am now passing on the first volume to you. The second and third volumes can only be given to you after you have passed through the cycle of reincarnation." Xihe's voice came from inside the Xiyue Mirror. Her peerless face had a strange charm. "Although cultivating the 'Three Lives Scroll' will greatly increase your strength, it will automatically create a karmic connection with the Wu Kingdom. You should think it through."
"Could this cause and effect be even heavier than that of the Beast of the Realm?" Huang Que's clone gazed at Xi He in the Xi Yue Mirror and spoke slowly.
"So, you had no choice." Xihe looked at Hengyi's clone, a strange smile appearing on her lips. "I had no choice either."
Hengque's clone reached out, and a palm the size of tens of millions of kilometers rose up and grabbed the "Three Lives Scroll". Finally, when it reached the scroll, the palm had shrunk to the size of an ordinary person and grasped the scroll in one go.
When the palm grasped the "Three Lives Scroll," the painting formed by the soft moonlight transformed into a surging flow of information that entered the consciousness of Hengque's clone.
As she gazed upon all of this, Xihe's expression softened in the Xiyue Mirror. Strands of moonlight condensed into three scrolls, which, following the "Three Lives Scroll," entered the consciousness of Huangque's clone.
"This is the Xihe inheritance that I promised you. Although it is not enough to reach the peak level, it is enough to allow you to run rampant at the Saint level."
"
