I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Chapter 1131 - 602: Cosmic Light Primordial Dragon Ball! (Part 2)

But she found the matter too absurd.

Moreover, she couldn't possibly survive thousands of years into the future.

Thus, she always thought that Lin Yan might be experiencing some strange corrosion, about to lose control and become mentally confused.

During these days, she always went along with Lin Yan and comforted him, hoping to delay the day when this strongest of the Human Clan would lose control.

But now, the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master directly revealed his origins.

In other words, he truly came from a future era.

"Destiny?"

Lin Yan paused and said, "Among the Immortal Gods, those with Great Divine Skills can perceive the long river of time, clearly understand the future transformations, and even alter them... I was altered in this way, arriving here, at most considered a variable."

"No, this is destiny."

The Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master shook his head and said, "Among the Immortal Gods, those with Great Divine Skills can reverse perceive the future, but they might not be able to change it. They can only watch as the things that are destined to happen in the future unfold before their eyes! So, your arrival here is not a variable but an inevitable part of destiny..."

Lin Yan pondered and said, "Crossing the long river of time, how can that be destiny?"

"Did you really cross the long river of time?"

The Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master suddenly chuckled, his eyes complex.

"..."

Lin Yan's heart slightly trembled, and he said gravely, "What exactly is going on?"

"Sixty years ago, a group of powerful senior figures from the Human Clan..."

After pausing, the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master continued, "With the birth of the Human Martial Saint in the current era, they are not considered strong anymore, merely at the Creation Peak level of cultivation!"

"But placed sixty years ago, they were indeed the pinnacle of existence among the Human Clan, also the wisest of beings!"

"The previous generation of Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master."

"And the former Withered Glory Saint Master."

"Some achieved the mastery of the highest of the thirty-six Sky Gang Techniques, Mediating Creation."

"Some mastered the Reverse Knowledge of the Future within the thirty-six Sky Gang Techniques."

"Some comprehended the Yin Yang Formation of the Ancient Era."

"And so many others..."

After another pause, the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master said, "They believed that the world was too hopeless and sought a variable! To bring about this variable, they all died..."

Yun Qing's expression slightly changed and said, "I have heard of this matter, a vague rumor!"

The Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master said, "Yes, for that time, it was vague, exchanging their lives for an unseen hope."

"Back then, some senior figures of the Human Clan were unwilling to participate."

"And some participated initially but withdrew halfway."

"But fortunately, the one with Reverse Knowledge of the Future had the wisdom to discern people."

"Despite not sacrificing themselves for it, at least they did not divulge the Human Clan's biggest plan."

"No, it was later leaked, but the Divine Demon Clan regarded it as a joke."

"In the span of sixty years, the only change was the Human Clan losing many pillars, and the situation became increasingly dire."

"That sacrifice also turned into a joke."

"It was a joke upon dying."

"An action that seemed foolish out of ignorance."

Upon saying this, the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master said, "But now, with your appearance, they will become the most heroic predecessors of the Human Clan... the most respected saints of this era!"

Lin Yan vaguely understood something, feeling heavy at heart, said, "They exchanged their lives, using that calamity, to bring me here?"

"That's roughly the idea."

The Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master said, "Your arrival paved the way for Shangguan Shang, laying the foundation for him, and in the future, he will innovate an era!"

"You are the sharpest blade of this new era, cleaving the old era."

"And they were the craftsmen forging this blade of yours."

"Without them, you wouldn't have come."

"Without you, no matter how astonishing Shangguan Shang, he couldn't break this era."

"Without Shangguan Shang, the Human Clan's future has no path."

Upon saying this, the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master sighed, "Their deaths, in the previous sixty years, were as light as feathers, like a joke! But in the future, their deaths will be the greatest of heroic feats of this era!"

"I will not disappoint their expectations."

Lin Yan said this, then added, "But now, you know I hope to receive another piece of information."

"After the Ancient Era, the path to achieving Immortal God has been severed."

The Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master said, "After all the Immortal Gods secluded themselves, none could truly achieve becoming an Immortal God..."

Lin Yan said, "I've heard that there were descendants of the Divine Demon Emperor Clan who achieved becoming an Immortal God shortly after the Great Ancient Calamity."

The Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master shook his head, "They possessed the combat power of Upper Celestial Gods but were not true Immortal Gods! Just like you, possessing power comparable to an Immortal God but not being an Immortal God yourself..."

"Then what about the Longevity Seeker?"

Lin Yan asked again.

Yun Qing's breathing became somewhat constrained.

Even though she always thought she was on a dead-end path, doomed to die.

But if there were hope to survive safely, how could she not be willing?

"So-called longevity is merely borrowed through various means..."

The Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master said, "There once was a Saint Master who combined with the Immortal God Arena, cultivated to an extremely high level, and hunted other Saint Masters of the Immortal God Arena... acquiring the Qi Mechanism of Immortal Gods, and thereby extending life."

"They should have died long ago, but they cling to life within the Mortal World by relying on the Qi of Immortal Gods."

"They endure long-lasting torment, needing incense and the flesh and blood of the Human Clan to sustain themselves."

"But over time, they have essentially become completely different from their original selves."

"That is a long, slow suicide."

Saying so, the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master added, "As for another form of longevity..."

"The Sleeping Technique?"

Lin Yan contemplated aloud.

"An Immortal God once obtained the Ancient Immortal's Will and entered a slumber to avoid the world."

The Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master said, "A long time ago, some astonishingly gifted individuals of the Human Clan mimicked this method, creating the Sleeping Technique... the current Ancestor Realm of Penglai is concealed from the world through such a Sleeping Technique."

"But as recorded in the Fire Department's Emperor Clan's scrolls, that notable Divine Demon Emperor Clan was very different!"

The Little White Ape couldn't help but peek out and said, "The Sleeping Technique, whenever breaking free, it's hard to enter slumber again, yet that being would emerge unpredictably..."

"That is the Supreme Treasure of legend."

The Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master said, "Regarding the treasure of time, when time cannot act upon it... the strange aura will not intensify!"

Thus, he looked toward Yun Qing, saying, "If you could enter this treasure, perhaps it would just be a matter of turning around, and years would have passed in the world."

"Rotten Axe Handles?"

Niu Yan suddenly spoke.

A woodcutter once, upon climbing a mountain, saw two elders playing a game of go.

He stood still to watch, and by the end of the game, his axe had already rotted away.

On his return home, a hundred years had already passed.

"This is the method of seclusion."

The Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master said, "When the Great Calamity descended, many Immortal Gods, knowing they could not resist the strange erosion, sought the protection of this treasure... but at that time, this treasure had already disappeared."

After a pause, the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master said, "It was known as the Cosmic Light Primordial Dragon Ball. Back then, a True Immortal who dwelt in the world carried mountains and chased the sun, suppressing the True Sun Monarch."

"He then ascended to the heavens, leaving behind the Mediating Creation Tao Seed, the highest of the thirty-six Sky Gang techniques."

"Looking back now, the Cosmic Light Primordial Dragon Ball was already fake at that time."

Could it have been swapped by that True Immortal of the World?

Or was it swapped by the Judicial Great Heavenly Monarch?
