Chapter 1090: The Never Ending Sand
There was a great sense of terror within the darkness.
——-the ruler of the Wraith realm, Heavenly King Mara.
It stood within the void, its figure appearing as great as Mount Sumeru itself, connecting heaven and earth.
Countless wraiths of various shapes and sizes stood around its towering figure, occupying a radius of several thousand miles.
All the wraiths followed the Heavenly King’s order.
At this point, several cultivators who wore masks were being led to face the Heavenly King by four Black Flame Venerables.
A Black Flame Venerable was about as big as the hundred-meter-tall Mech armor of the Starlight Empire.
——but a single eyelid of the Heavenly King Mara as it closed its eyes was as big as a Black Flame Venerable.
The cultivators who arrived from the fragment of Huang Quan realm were essentially specks of dust in front of the ruler of Wraiths.
The cultivators bowed to greet the great wraith and spoke in unison:
“We greet the master of the Wraith realm, Heavenly King Mara”
The great wraith hailed as Heavenly King Mara kept both its eyes and mouth closed.
—–but its voice resounded within the void:
『 Guests who came from far away, forgive me for not opening my eyes and mouth 』
The leading cultivator clasped his fist: “Where the Heavenly King’s gaze reaches, all living things would perish; when the Heavenly King’s mouth opens, plagues of death would grow without inhibition; this humble one naturally understands this and thanks the Heavenly King for your mercy”
The Heavenly King Mara felt pleased as its voice resounded again through the void:
『 As expected of inhabitants from the true Huang Quan realm, you understand my personal troubles quite well. It seems I did not waste my effort in leading you here 』
The cultivators bowed again.
The Heavenly King Mara continued: 『 I believe you have spoken with my people and reached a consensus 』
“That is indeed true” the leading cultivator replied.
『 Very well, then you have accepted all of my demands, but I have one last condition 』
“We are always ready to listen, Heavenly King”
『 Every day, I want you to offer a world, thriving world full of living beings and things to me 』
The leading cultivator felt a bit confused and clasped his fist: “If I could be so ignorant as to ask, for what sake does the Heavenly King want these worlds? If the Heavenly King could tell us, it would benefit our preparations of them”
The Heavenly King Mara’s voice resounded through the void, filled with a sense of dignity:
『 The birth and death of worlds is nothing but an illusion, only destruction by my hands is extreme bliss 』
As it uttered these words, all the wraiths and monsters within the radius of several thousand miles prostrated themselves in mid-air, bowing to Heavenly King Mara.
None of the cultivators said anything, but some of them were trembling.
The leading cultivator remained silent, then suddenly took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from the back of his neck.
Right as he wiped it away, more sweat poured out right away, he couldn’t endure and had to use a hand seal to remove all the cold sweat at his back and neck.
——-this man was a VIP within the Huang Quan realm, one who had been through many ups and downs; not only was he acquainted with numerous powerful entities, but he also held great Authority; a single word from him could determine many of Huang Quan’s important matters.
And yet, even he could not arbitrarily accept the Heavenly King Mara’s demand just now.
——it wants to destroy a thriving world filled with living beings and things every day, just for the sake of its own entertainment.
The Huang Quan realm’s fragment was an extremely powerful world that had conquered hundreds of thousands of worlds for its own benefit.
However.
To destroy billions of living beings, as well as an entire world every day…
This heavy and deep level of pure malice far surpassed what these cultivators could imagine.
The leading cultivator barely managed to regain his composure and clasped his fist again: “This is a great matter, this humble one would need to report it first, I hope that the Heavenly King would be so gracious as to wait”
The Heavenly King Mara spoke gently: 『 That is fine, I am not one to force things upon those who cannot accept, you may report to your superiors 』
The cultivator then took out a purple talisman, spoke into it, then infused it with spirit energy.
The talisman turned into a purple flying dragon that quickly disappeared into the void of space.
The Heavenly King Mara continued: 『 It should take a bit of time for an answer to arrive. During this time, perhaps you could first fulfill the matter that you had accepted 』
The cultivator went silent briefly before asking: “The entities that the Heavenly King referred to, all of them were souls?”
『 Correct, their expertise lies simply in hiding, but once they conceal themselves, my subordinates would be helpless to find them, it had been very troublesome 』
The cultivator clasped his fist: “Do not worry, Heavenly King, we will surely resolve the Heavenly King’s trouble”
The Heavenly King Mara laughed: 『 Very good, kill them all—— if you can capture them, that would be even better. Offer them to me, as I like to consume the souls of such things 』
“Understood, Heavenly King”
…
On the other side.
The Cave of Bones.
The long-bearded old man was talking to the black cat.
“Kitty, oh kitty, you’re finally here, I’ll tell you about what happened back then”
The black cat held his paws together and said: “Meow”
The long-bearded old man began: “In the past, when we first began to explore the Dusty World, the Deities felt a heavy sense of unease”
“Because if a huge explosion of power was ever exerted, it would disturb the Dusty World—— there were many things within that world that caused even the collective forces of the Inner Plane, the void, as well as various hidden locations to feel wary”
“For that reason, the Deities jointly made a pact to disallow the exertion of great power within the passage that connected to the Dusty World”
“Meow, meow meow”
“Were there any exceptions? Heheh, I wasn’t supposed to reveal this, but at this point, it’s ok to tell you”
“—–When the Deities were jointly making their pledge, I was sitting on the shoulder of a certain lady, flattering her”
“As the pledge of the Pillar Gods was unleashed, that lady happened to glance at me, then shed a single tear”
“She took out a certain artifact and gave it to the four statues of the Pillar Gods, then told me that if a person appeared to us while carrying that artifact, they would represent the hope of the pixies”
The black cat perked his ears up, calling out with interest: “Meow, meow meow?”
“You’re asking who that lady was? She was the Sovereign of the Fairy, wielder of Time, the Never Ending Sand, that legendary lady” the long-bearded old man replied.
“…Meow”
“After countless years of waiting, we finally discovered someone who was able to bring that artifact into this place”
The black cat pointed at himself with his law: “Meow meow? Meow meow meow?”
“Indeed, that was you and the Omni Stone”
“Meow meow meow meow” the black cat muttered to itself.
The long-bearded old man continued: “I have been sensing a fate even worse than death approaching us closer and closer. As soon as I saw you, I immediately understood: the Omni Stone and you are our last hopes”
The long-bearded old man then became tense and went on: “Listen, I believe you’ve sensed the same thing as well——— both we and you will soon be captured and killed, our souls undergoing the eternal suffering of torture——– perhaps in 10 minutes, or perhaps in 1 hour, it would surely occur”
“Kitty, if I give you the incantation to activate the Omni Stone, will you accept us into your group? Are you willing to fight along our side? Though, to be honest, cooperation will be the only path of survivor for both us and yourself”
“Meow” the black cat sincerely nodded.
“Very well, then listen carefully, the incantation that lady left was: The sands of time, that which all living beings can hold, let the pledge scatter into nothingness”
After hearing that, the black cat slowly returned to Gu Qing Shan’s form.
He held the Omni Stone in his hand and softly muttered: “The sands of time, that which all living beings can hold, let the pledge scatter into nothingness”
Oom—–
Everything around him vanished without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan now found himself standing in the middle of endless drifting sand.
In front of him stood a boundlessly graceful mature lady.
The Never Ending Sand, the legendary lady, Fusi.
Compared to her present self, she appeared much younger 100 million years ago.
Fusi observed Gu Qing Shan, but her eyes seemed to perceive nothing but the void.
“Time is much too long and the future is too chaotic, as such I cannot see your appearance clearly”
“Person of the future, listen well. In exactly one hour, the pixies and yourself will perish within the Samsara, doomed to never escape”
“Even I cannot do much against the pledge of the four Pillar Gods”
“But I have decided to help you strive for a single chance at survival”
