Chapter 797 425: The One Who Hollowed Out the Gu Family, Young Hero Duan the Takeover Guy
Seeing the words "Ultimate", whether it was Duan Yun, Lei Ying, or Ying, they all immediately felt an immense interest.
This thing is like the pit dug when writing a book; when you see it here, you are eager to know the meaning of the ultimate.
After all, the preceding descriptions related to reaching the front of this bronze door have been extremely bizarre, and Duan Yun once felt even Ziyu couldn't have fabricated such a tale.
Because it is clearly an absurd and eerie event, yet through the Family Head of the Gu Family's description, it turns convincing, making Duan Yun and the others feel they personally ventured into that uncanny water, encountering that alluring corpse, and saw that enormous bronze door.
The subsequent text becomes somewhat psychedelic.
The Family Head of the Gu Family said that when the bronze door opens, he saw the ultimate.
But what is the ultimate?
In his words, it is already not the human world, or rather, it is in the sky.
Behind the bronze door is filled with suffocating dense Dragon Energy.
Because it was too dense, the Dragon Energy there had become substantial, resembling a strange kind of light.
One must know that light cannot be grasped, yet there the light formed by Dragon Energy was thread by thread, entwining around.
These Dragon Energies merged together, and the pavilions and towers were right in front yet seemed distant, as if far away.
He wanted to approach, but never could.
Yet he knew, it absolutely wasn't a mirage's falsehood; the reason he couldn't touch them was because they and he weren't of the same world.
Or rather, in this realm, these pavilion-like palaces were real, and he was entirely illusory.
How can the illusory touch the real?
Afterward, he saw the dragons.
Seventeen giant dragons were coiled there, pulling a massive bronze coffin.
Seen from here, the seventeen giant dragons obscured the sky and sun, and due to their enormous size, some were intertwined, writhing and twisting.
At that moment, the Family Head of the Gu Family felt immense fear.
Because these colossal creatures, legendary and side by side with gods, were alive.
Standing under such behemoths, fear rooted deep in his soul quickly spread throughout his body, making him dare not move.
Especially when one giant dragon glanced at him, he felt like his seven souls and six spirits were about to leave his body, becoming wandering ghosts, and his corpse would be devoured by the Dragon Energy, becoming a part of this "light".
The Family Head of the Gu Family didn't know how long he stood there; according to him, it felt like decades, even hundreds of years.
He felt his entire being was going to decay, similar to sea drying up and rocks crumbling, destroyed by the mighty power of time.
Suddenly, he blinked.
In that blink, everything initially clear retreated, transforming into a different appearance.
Then, he found himself changed from illusory to real.
Before him remained the vast mausoleum; the seventeen dragons still pulled that enormous bronze coffin, only now the dragons were corpses, and he could touch the mausoleum's pavilions.
The reason he changed from illusory to real was that he'd emerged from that world.
The world he called "Ultimate".
The mausoleum he saw didn't greatly differ from before, even the dragon bodies seemed similar, but he knew it was an entirely different world.
In that world, the dragons were alive, the Immortal Palace untouchable, even the Emperor possibly alive in the bronze coffin.
In this world, everything had died.
The air still held Dragon Energy, but these Dragon Energies seemed dead, like deceased light, thread by thread, dispersing with a wave of his hand.
The reason the Family Head of the Gu Family calls that world the ultimate is entirely because he suddenly seemed to have unlocked Extraordinary Wisdom, perceiving the essence of that world.
Mere mortals are always fond of imagining the Heavenly Court and its immortals govern everything, but the Family Head of the Gu Family believes the world he just saw truly governs all.
More accurately, the world he couldn't touch just now is the origin of the world.
Everything in this human world will return there, like people returning to the amniotic fluid after death, no, even more primitive.
Regarding the question of human origin, many sects have their unique insights, such as the Divine Doctor from the Jiangzhong Sect mentioned a viewpoint that humans originally were apes, only one day, a small portion of apes had their intelligence awaken, becoming distinct from other apes.
They gradually stopped living with other apes and began living alone, gradually transforming into humans.
Yet, the broad masses prefer to accept the legend of Nuwa creating humans.
Nuwa molded humans with Divine Soil, thus there were humans in the mortal world.
However, the Family Head of the Gu Family at that time believed humans neither transformed from apes nor were molded by Nuwa with Divine Soil, but came from that world.
Or rather, everything in the world came from that world, which bestowed everything in the mortal world, and all things in the mortal world will one day return to that world.
That world at the start of everything, called "Ultimate".
The Family Head of the Gu Family believes when the bronze door opened, he entered the world's origin, entered the world of the ultimate.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't return there.
And now the place he's in?
He tends to think of it as a shadow of the ultimate.
This shadow alone is enough to change his life.
In that Divine Tomb, he saw the enormous dragon corpses and also the Emperor's teachings on martial arts.
