Chapter 553 16 Why Am I Still Alive If God is Dead and the Devil is Extinct_1

He had traveled through the Primordial Chaos, condensed the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, and although he had escaped the Reincarnation Cycle, he could not avoid the upheavals of the world.

The Divine Tomb's World.

The sun was setting in the west.

The remaining sunlight was like blood.

In a desolate and eerie graveyard of gods and demons, a pale hand emerged from a grave followed closely by another, both hands clutching firmly at the edge of the grave.

A young man with a confused expression slowly climbed out from the grave, his unkempt long hair covered in mud and his tattered clothing clinging tightly to his body.

Besides his exceptionally pale complexion, the young man looked utterly ordinary, the type that would never stand out in a crowd.

"What place is this? How did I end up here?"

The young man muttered to himself, staring at the surrounding expanse of graves with even more bewilderment.

"The Tomb of the Eastern Immortal Cultivator Peony Fairy, the Tomb of the Western Goddess of Wisdom Nassis, the Tomb of the Dongfang Immortal Warrior, Li Changfeng, the Tomb of the Eastern Demon Cultivator Ao Cangtian, the Tomb of the Western Great Demon King, Lucifer..."

"My God, what has happened to this world? Have all the divine spirits of old died, buried... all buried here?"

The young man's expression turned ghastly, his face showing disbelief as he was shocked by the sight of one gravestone after another.

Even the sturdiest diamond rock tombstones were clearly etched with the vicissitudes of time, as countless years flowed by like a mighty river.

"Did I crawl out of a grave?"

"I am Chen Nan. I have died, but now I am resurrected!"

His eyes were lifeless as he stared blankly ahead, his soul seeming to have left his body, and he weakly collapsed to the ground.

"Who can tell me what exactly has happened?"

Chen Nan looked up to the heavens and shouted, "The gods are dead, the devils have perished, yet I am still alive! Why, oh heavens, have you allowed me to crawl out from my grave? Where should I go from here?"

"Ding! You are invited to join the Chat Group No. 10,000 of All the Heavens!"

A mechanical-sounding voice abruptly echoed in his mind.

Chen Nan looked up, gazing blankly around.

"What the hell? Could it be a Power secretly sending me a message?"

While Chen Nan was pondering, he saw three thatched huts not far ahead, where a gaunt old man stood in front of the door, his hair and beard white, his face carved with weather-beaten wrinkles.

A surge of inexplicable emotion welled up in his heart. This was the first person he had seen after being reborn; he felt a trace of kinship, a bit of loss, a touch of confusion.

Ten thousand years ago, he was born before his parents. Ten thousand years later, at his rebirth, he was faced with such an old man.

The elder, leaning on a walking stick, tremblingly made his way towards him, looking so frail it seemed a gust of wind could blow him over.

Chen Nan hastened to support the old man, who waved his hand, signaling him to let go, and uttered a few words in a reproachful tone, but Chen Nan did not understand a single word.

The old man pulled him into the wooden hut, prepared a clean set of clothes for him, and cooked him a meal, which brought a warmth to his heart.

After dinner, when the old man walked to another room, Chen Nan lay on the recliner, a multitude of thoughts swirling in his mind.

Suddenly, he discovered an interface in his mind, with text scrolling, appearing to be a conversation among many people.

Could this be the magic artifact of that Power who invited me to join a short while ago? Can we communicate within this magic artifact?

Without hesitation, Chen Nan's consciousness entered the chat group.

He was a man who had died once already. Now, he was utterly at a loss, unsure of where to go. He didn't even fear death. What else was there to fear?

...

The 10,000th Chat Group of the Heavens.

Huashan Sect Master: "Welcome, newcomer! Another newcomer has arrived, scatter flowers!!"

The Lord of Great Qin: "Welcome, newcomer!"

Tushan's Second Master: "Welcome, newcomer!"

Upper God's Dog Son: "Wandering Knight, could it be that you are one of the legendary three most admirable men? No, it should be one of the four."

Dominator of the Underworld Association: "Could the newcomer be a future big shot?"

Ye Tiandi: "Which four men? Curious!!!"

Tushan's Second Master: "Curious +1!"

Demon King: "Curious +1!"

Great Sage Sun Wukong: "The most admirable men? Surely my name is there!"

Demon Queen: "Are you even a man, you monkey?"

Great Sage Sun Wukong: "Hmph! Witch, take a hit from my staff!"

Upper God's Dog Son: "In my life, I have only ever admired three men: first, Dong Yong; second, Xu Xian; and third, Ning Caichen.

"One dares to sleep with a snake, another dares to sleep with a fairy, and the last doesn't even spare ghosts.

"It wasn't until I watched 'Hua Qiangu' that I realized Luo Shiyi is the real manly man, daring to sleep with a caterpillar...

"The one I look down on the most is Sun Wukong; he held the Seven Fairy Maidens in place and then ran off to steal peaches..."

Great Sage Sun Wukong: "You're talking nonsense! I did not! It wasn't me! I, Old Sun, offered the Seven Fairy Maidens to the great Lord of Hongmeng!"

Dominator of the Underworld Association: "So this is the Wandering Knight. It's not bad being a mere mortal—somehow reminds me of the Dragon Knight!"

Having been a part of chat groups for so long, and with the previous appearance of the Dragon Knight because of the Little Dragon Girl, they all understood the origin of the Wandering Knight.

Little Dragon Lady Who Hangs Silk and Sleeps: "..."

Getting shot while lying down!

Wandering Knight: "Who are you people? How dare you tarnish my reputation out of thin air? I am a scholar; I do not give improper looks, let alone to ghosts!"

Demon Gate Yinhou: "Such a hypocrite! Scholars are the ones who love ghosts the most, not to mention foxes, snakes, and such!"

Tushan's Second Master: "Red sleeves adding fragrance to the evening of reading, right!"

Dominator of the Underworld Association: "Young man, ghostly women and such are too deep waters for you to handle. Better offer her to My Lord instead!"

Wandering Knight: "What female ghost? I have never even seen a ghost before?"

Revived from Divine Tomb: "Senior fellows, why have I appeared in this magic artifact? I've been dead for ten thousand years, and to suddenly revive—was it you seniors who did it?

"All I have left is nothingness, just a dead relic from ten thousand years ago. What use could you seniors possibly have for reviving me?"

He did not believe in free lunches. Those who revived him must surely have an ulterior motive. But he couldn't fathom what they could possibly want from him, given that they had such Great Divine Power to revive him.

Huashan Sect Master: "A revival after ten thousand years? It seems this newcomer is a significant figure!"

Roaming Little Broken Ball: "Could the newcomer be a zombie?"

Demon Queen: "As long as they aren't dead through and through, reviving after ten thousand years isn't such a big deal!"

Dominator of the Underworld Association: "This newcomer's world must be one with a strong power level. But since the Wandering Knight's world has ghosts, they must also have supernatural powers!"

Dominator of the Underworld Association: "@Upper God's Dog Son, do you know anything about the newcomer? Show us already!"

Tushan's Second Master: "Got my snacks ready!!"

Revived from Divine Tomb: "Huh? My revival wasn't your doing? Then why have you brought me to this magic artifact?"

Soul Hall Saint Girl: "@Wandering Knight @Revived from Divine Tomb, newcomers with questions, please read the group description!"
