Chapter 124 History Cannot Be Changed
Chapter 124 History Cannot Be Changed
The great battle that Hao Chen had anticipated did not occur. After saying some cryptic things, Yuan Ying took the initiative to remove the formation and left with Wang Er.
"You just left like that?"
Gazing at the empty void, Hao Chen scanned the area with his divine sense but found nothing amiss. However, a shadow of unease lingered in his heart, a feeling that things wouldn't end there.
Meanwhile, Yuan Ying quickly brought Wang Er back to the Heavenly Court. On the way, Wang Er asked in confusion, "My lord, is it really a bit inappropriate to leave like this?"
Yuan Ying glanced at Wang Er meaningfully. He knew that Wang Er was just sent by Haotian to monitor him. Although this made him very unhappy, he could only bury his displeasure deep in his heart when he thought of Haotian's cultivation level.
"Hmph, what do you know? Do you even know who a person's greatest adversary is?"
Before Wang Er could answer, Yuan Ying said directly, "It's him. Only the enemy himself can defeat the enemy."
Soon Yuan Ying and the others returned to the Heavenly Court. Without turning his head, Yuan Ying said, "I'm going back to take care of some personal matters. You can report to Haotian yourself."
"But sir, this..."
Just as Wang Er was about to say something, Yuan Ying suddenly emitted a strong killing intent, causing Wang Er to swallow back the words he hadn't yet uttered.
Yuan Ying coldly said, "Although I don't know what's going on with your Heavenly Emperor, that you actually possess the cultivation of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, I was once one of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods, a genuine Immortal Emperor. I have plenty of strength and means, hmph!"
When Wang Er came to his senses, there was no trace of Yuan Ying in front of him. He could only wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and turn around to report the situation to the Heavenly Emperor Haotian.
After learning all this, Haotian said nothing, but dismissed Wang Er. Then he looked at the Haotian Mirror in front of him. The scene shown in the mirror was Chaos and Bixie Tianlu digging up Dijiang.
"History cannot be changed. Chaos must fall, and the incomplete Chaos Dao that she emitted after her fall is what I need and is the key to my further advancement."
On the other hand, after failing to find Yuan Ying, Hao Chen stopped paying attention to the matter, because there were more important things for him to do next.
In his memory, Chaos saw the light after Dijiang's fall and, unwilling for Dijiang to leave, chose to transform into a mountain range to suppress Dijiang's light and stay with Dijiang forever.
But this ultimately dealt a heavy blow to Bixie and Tianlu, as their family members, whom they had finally found, were gone forever.
"If I can change the fate of Chaos, then can I also change the fate of the Four Unlikes? And change the fate of Bixie and Tianlu?"
Hao Chen glanced at the four-faced creature beside him, then at the Bixie and Tianlu digging in front of him, and thought that if Chaos wanted to turn into a mountain range, he would stop her even if it cost him his life.
Chaos, Bixie Tianlu, and the other two beasts quickly dug deep underground.
Just then, a golden light emerged from the soil, like a bubble, and flew into the sky.
As this golden light soared into the sky, another golden light emerged from the earth, transforming into golden bubbles that flew up into the sky.
One, two, three... More and more golden light kept flying out of the soil and heading towards the sky.
Tianlu stared blankly at the golden light that flew into the sky. He sensed Dijiang's aura within the golden light: "What is that? It floated up into the sky..."
The Four-Faced Beast said, "This must be your Jiang Jiang."
Then, the Four-Faced Beast stepped forward and explained to Tianlu and the others, "My mother said that divine beasts are the light that heaven and earth have lost. When they die, they will return to heaven and earth."
Tianlu's eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe that these lights were their friends: "This is... Jiangjiang?"
Bixie, standing to the side, also found it hard to accept, saying, "Returning to Heaven and Earth, does that mean she's going to float away?"
The Four-Faced Beast nodded: "Your friend is dead, turned into light and returned to the world. You can't catch him, and you can't keep him."
Tianlu was overwhelmed with emotion by Sibuxiang's words. He hugged the light that Dijiang had transformed into before him: "No! Jiangjiang can't leave! We still want to bask in the sun together, travel together, play hide-and-seek together! We still want to... still want to... I won't let you go, Jiangjiang, don't go..."
Bixie also tried to retain the light around them, but no matter how hard Tianlu and Bixie tried, the light still flew into the sky through their claws.
Tianlu looked at Sibuxiang with red eyes: "We can't catch her no matter what we do, Sibuxiang, quickly think of a way to keep her!"
Chaos's tears flowed uncontrollably. Watching the light fly further and further away, she felt the aura belonging to Dijiang leaving her and disappearing.
"Awoo~ Awoo~" Chaos subconsciously chased after the light and called out softly, as if trying to make Dijiang's light stop and return to her side.
But the light continued to fly towards the sky. Looking at the weeping Bixie and Tianlu beside him, Sibuxiang shook his head and comforted them in his own way: "Forget it, Little Plum Blossom, Little Blue Circle, you don't need to be sad. We all die like this. That light is the yang energy that is about to return to the sky. It can't be grasped."
Seeing that Chaos was getting further and further away, and even a cliff appeared ahead, Chaos showed no sign of stopping. Qiongqi and the others became anxious and hurriedly gave chase.
Qiongqi, Taotie, and Taotie joined forces to hug Chaos's tail: "Big sister, don't chase after it! That Qilin said that these lights are going back to the heavens and can't be kept. Big sister, don't go any further."
But Chaos couldn't hear Qiongqi's words; she could only see the fading light and let out a helpless, sorrowful "Awoo," her tears wetting the fur on her face.
That light was very familiar to Chaos; it was a friend she had missed for a long time. She had spent so much time and overcame so many difficulties to return to Dijiang's side. She didn't want Dijiang to leave; she didn't want to be abandoned again.
At this moment, the image of Dijiang reappeared in Hun Dun's mind, along with images of them playing together and taking care of each other.
But the next moment, Dijiang's figure suddenly shattered in the chaotic mind, turning into light and flying away into the distance.
Once, twice... The image of Dijiang accompanying her and then leaving her kept repeating in her chaotic mind.
At the same time, a voice seemed to be telling her in her chaotic mind that she had to do something to keep Dijiang here.
So Chaos did something that no one expected, but Hao Chen had anticipated.
Suddenly, Chaos shook off Qiongqi, Taotie, and Taowu behind it, then spread its wings and soared into the air, flying directly to the first golden light.
Chaos stretched out its claws and gently embraced the golden light in its arms. At the same time, its body changed. Its wings grew longer and larger, its limbs became like pillars supporting the sky, and its body began to expand continuously.
Ten zhang, a hundred zhang, a thousand zhang, ten thousand zhang... In the end, the chaotic figure stood with its head reaching the sky and its feet touching the ground, covering the sky and the sun, enveloping all the golden light beneath it.
"Ouch~"
Chaos looked up to the sky and let out a mournful final cry, and sorrowful emotions permeated the hearts of Bixie, Tianlu, Qiongqi, Taowu, Taotie, Sibuxiang, Zhanhu, and Haochen.
Even the Primordial Qilin and Jade Qilin, far away on Qilin Mountain, seemed to sense something and looked towards the direction of Chaos. Countless divine beasts in the world also involuntarily looked towards Chaos, as if they had some idea of Chaos's fate, and a trace of sadness inevitably rose in their hearts.
Hao Chen wanted to stop it all, but he was horrified to find that he couldn't move. It was as if someone had cast a spell on him, and he could only watch the tragedy unfold without being able to do anything.
To preserve Dijiang, Chaos transformed her head into mountain peaks, her eyes into caves, and her tears into waterfalls. Her limbs and torso stretched out infinitely, and her hair became trees and meadows. Chaos eventually became an endless mountain range.
As the chaos transformed into a mountain range, pressing down on Dijiang's light, the heavens and earth roared, and a terrifying pressure spread out—the incomplete Dao of chaos.
Although the Chaos Dao of Chaos was incomplete, it was still incredibly terrifying, like the most terrifying killing technique in the world, obliterating the surrounding order and laws.
Upon seeing this, the four creatures' expressions changed drastically. They snatched the evil spirit in their mouths, carried the heavenly beast on their backs, and used their tails to lift up Haochen. They then flew away on auspicious clouds into the distance.
Qiongqi, equally panicked, grabbed Taotie and followed the Four-Faced Beast into the sky.
"Holy crap, how did they all fly away? Damn it, isn't this bullying the honest tiger?"
Zhan Hu cursed and swore on the ground, but he was also running fast, after all, the chaotic laws behind him could kill him.
Once the surroundings gradually returned to calm, the Four-Faced Beasts dared to stop and quietly look back at the chaotic mountain range behind them.
Bixie and Tianlu, witnessing the end of chaos, cried out in sorrow, "Big guy! Jiangjiang!"
Qiongqi Taotie and Taotie stared in disbelief at the mountain range before them, unable to believe that this was their invincible elder sister.
Tears welled up in the three little ones' eyes without them even realizing it: "Big Sister! Big Sister!"
Hao Chen then discovered that he could move again, but it was too late. He watched as Chaos collapsed and merged with Di Jiang's light, transforming into the Caiyun Mountain Range that would later become the mountain range.
Seeing that Chaos, in order to preserve Dijiang, did not hesitate to transform into mountains and rivers, pressing down on the remaining light of Dijiang.
Hao Chen was filled with grief. He wanted to roar and ask why all of this had happened.
Suddenly, a faint, ethereal voice echoed in Hao Chen's heart:
"Are you very sad? That's right. History cannot be changed. Don't try to change anything. You are just a witness to the passage of time."
