Chapter 555 17 The Old Immortal Was So Scared... He Knelt Down_2
"Eastern Sea's elderies?"
Chen Nan stared intently at the old man, tentatively calling out.
"Do you know me?"
The originally murky eyes of Eastern Sea's elderies suddenly burst forth with strands of golden light, as if two sharp swords were piercing Chen Nan's heart.
Chen Nan instantly felt immense pressure.
"You really are Eastern Sea's elderies! Could everything in the chat group be true?"
Chen Nan was shocked, his heart churning like turbulent waves.
"What are you talking about? How do you recognize me?"
Eastern Sea's elderies fixed his gaze on Chen Nan. Logically speaking, Chen Nan shouldn't have known him. Moreover, Chen Nan had been behaving strangely from earlier until now.
Chen Nan looked at Eastern Sea's elderies, took a deep breath, and then made up his mind, saying, "Let me start with a story!"
"What story?"
Eastern Sea's elderies seemed puzzled. He felt that Chen Nan was becoming increasingly abnormal.
"This story cannot be known by others, especially that ultimate enemy. Seal off this area first to prevent anyone from snooping!" Chen Nan spoke gravely.
"Hmm?" Eastern Sea's elderies gave Chen Nan a deep look and said sternly, "Don't play games with me!"
With that, a vast shadow of a grinding disk spread out from him in all directions, enveloping the entire room. This was none other than Eastern Sea's elderies's true form, the Ancient God Soldier, the Life and Death Disk. Endlessly complex patterns were etched on the Life and Death Disk, evolving various mysteries. At this moment, as Eastern Sea's elderies activated it, everything in this place was completely isolated from the outside world.
"Alright, you can speak now!" Eastern Sea's elderies looked at Chen Nan.
"Are you sure not even those above will know?" Chen Nan pointed upwards towards the sky.
Although he didn't mention any names, Eastern Sea's elderies knew that Chen Nan was definitely referring to that evil Heavenly Dao.
"Don't worry, I still have that much skill!" Eastern Sea's elderies was curious about what had happened to Chen Nan; not only had he recognized his identity, but he also knew about the Heavenly Dao. After all, Chen Nan was not supposed to be aware of this at this moment.
Having learned about Eastern Sea's elderies's abilities from the file sent by Dog Son, and after confirming they were accurate, Chen Nan slowly began his tale. He spoke of the past from ten thousand years ago all the way to the future, mentioning the tremendous plot laid by the likes of Dugu Baitian and the final Battle against Heaven...
The Divine Spirits were dead, erased. Eastern Sea's elderies was dead; his wife and son were dead... In the vast universe, only he, Chen Nan, was alive...
As Chen Nan's last word was uttered, the scene fell into a prolonged, deathly silence.
Eastern Sea's elderies's expression shifted unpredictably—now joyful, now sorrowful, now doubtful, now vigilant...
After an unknown amount of time, all expressions vanished from Eastern Sea's elderies's face, and his sharp gaze fixed tightly on Chen Nan. "I must say, that story is fascinating. But I am very curious, how do you know all this?"
"Even Dugu Baitian, no, even the Heavenly Dao, couldn't possibly know the final outcome, could It? If the Heavenly Dao knew the final outcome, It would have come long ago, stopping at nothing to kill Chen Nan."
"Moreover, according to the story, Chen Nan or his past life, Dugu Xiaobai, was the mastermind behind this tremendous chess game from the start. However, at this point in time, Chen Nan was just a pawn and had not yet awakened. Therefore, he couldn't possibly know all this."
"Correct!" Chen Nan nodded, saying, "This involves another matter, which is what I'm going to tell you about next!"
Eastern Sea's elderies frowned but did not speak.
Chen Nan recounted how he joined the chat group and what he learned there.
"Impossible!"
"How could such inconceivable things exist in this world?"
"Using a Goddess, one even more terrifying than Defying Heavens Warriors, as Sacrifices? And offering such Sacrifices to Divine Spirits? That's utterly impossible! It's even more impossible that after the offering, one's Cultivation Level would skyrocket immeasurably. Even the Heavenly Dao couldn't achieve such a feat. No, even if the Heavenly Dao were a hundred times stronger, It would still be impossible!"
Eastern Sea's elderies exclaimed in shock, feeling it was all nonsensical. A Peerless Goddess, stronger than Defying Heavens Warriors, perhaps even stronger than the Heavenly Dao, used as a sacrifice? Is that possible? Absolutely impossible!
"I also find it hard to believe, but setting other things aside, this ten-thousand-year plan doesn't look fake in any way!"
Chen Nan told Eastern Sea's elderies these things because he wasn't sure if the chat group was good or bad, or whether he should trust it.
"This is definitely a conspiracy by the Heavenly Dao!" Eastern Sea's elderies's voice was resonant and powerful. He was convinced that only the Heavenly Dao could orchestrate such things.
"If it's the Heavenly Dao, why go to such great lengths? Why not just kill me directly and be done with it?" Chen Nan said. "Besides, the Heavenly Dao couldn't possibly know so much. If It knew this much, all of us might as well wash our necks and wait for death. The Battle against Heaven would be a joke!"
Eastern Sea's elderies fell silent. Indeed. If it was a plot by the Heavenly Dao, there would be no need for such trouble; killing Chen Nan directly would suffice. Moreover, if it was a conspiracy by the Heavenly Dao, how could the final outcome be Its defeat and Chen Nan's victory?
"Actually, verifying the authenticity of the chat group is simple. Just recite the Meditation Method of the Lord of Hongmeng once, and the truth will be known!" Chen Nan said. "You old undying one, guard me. I'll try it and find out!"
"If this chat group is real, it will be an unimaginable help for the future Battle against Heaven. We wouldn't have to rally the power of all beings as I described before—a path that ended with gods and demons extinguished, leaving me utterly alone in the world!"
Eastern Sea's elderies remained silent for a long moment, then said solemnly, "I'll recite this Meditation Method first. If it's a conspiracy, these old bones of mine might still be able to withstand it."
"How can that be? I should do it. You just need to guard me!" Chen Nan insisted.
"Enough, it's decided. I'll try first!" Eastern Sea's elderies declared unequivocally.
Unable to argue further, Chen Nan transmitted the downloaded Meditation Method to him.
Lord of Hongmeng? I want to see who You really are.
A sharp light flashed in the eyes of Eastern Sea's elderies. After taking a deep breath, he began to recite the Meditation Method.
Chen Nan watched anxiously by his side, his gaze unwavering.
Soon, as Eastern Sea's elderies recited, layers of extremely mysterious fluctuations emanated from him.
His consciousness suddenly jolted.
By the time he regained his senses, Eastern Sea's elderies found himself seemingly in the Boundless Chaos.
Before him stood a magnificent figure, cloaked in endless light and boundless majesty, like a Heavenly Emperor gracing the mortal world.
That supreme Being was holy and unparalleled. Its body was indescribably majestic, seemingly formed by the convergence of endless Ancient Universes. Every Rule and Path of the world, all radiant substances, gathered upon It. Standing amidst it all, It resembled a dazzling sun, illuminating the Mount Heng World to its every corner.
Eastern Sea's elderies stared wide-eyed, his breath caught in his throat. He was a Peak Heavenly Level Warrior who had lived for countless eons. Apart from the Heavenly Dao and those few perverse Defying Heavens Warriors, he was one of the strongest in the Six Realms. Yet, even he couldn't imagine what kind of existence this was.
What sort of figure was this? Standing above all heavens, as if these immeasurable Myriad of Realms were all born from It. It was the origin of all things in heaven and earth. It was the Father God of all spirits in the universe. It was the supreme, eternal, and undying holiness of all space and time.
"Is this the Lord of Hongmeng?" Eastern Sea's elderies trembled, filled with fear and reverence.
At this moment, he felt that in the presence of this great Being, the Heavenly Dao was like a mere firefly in the vast starry sky—utterly insignificant.
HUM!
Suddenly, that gaze descended, like the will of the supreme Path itself. The infinite Rules trembled before It. It seemed as though all the Myriad of Realms would sway and shatter under this single gaze.
Eastern Sea's elderies's legs trembled. Any thought of probing instantly vanished, soaring beyond the ninth heaven. His legs gave way.
In an instant… he knelt!!
