Chapter 665 554: Homecoming and the Road Ahead (End)
After handling Yuan Feng's matters, Nezha returned to his own Profound Yellow Heaven. What is cultivation like after becoming a Saint?
Nezha had asked Nuwa this question, and her answer was that she didn't know either. She had been honing her mana and recently gained new knowledge from the Chaos Demon God, which she was currently comprehending.
The path of Chaos Origin no longer had guidance from anyone, but Nezha was convinced that this was not the focus of cultivation; how to proceed in the future relied entirely on him.
By achieving the status of a Saint, Nezha became more insensitive to the passage of time. It seemed as though in just a brief moment, his sister, Li Zhenying, grew from a cute young girl into a graceful fairy and started traveling the world.
During this time, Nezha was immersed in comprehending the Great Dao inscribed on the Creation Jade Scroll and showed significant progress. Not only did he have the support of a Saint Position in the Primordial world, but his combat strength in Chaos had also multiplied several times.
However, these did not represent an essential change; he was still a Chaos Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal.
But Nezha was not anxious, knowing that the Dao is boundless and as long as cultivation continues, a path of his own can eventually be found.
Before that, Nezha wanted to fulfill a small longing buried deeply in his heart, which was to go home.
Truthfully, those twenty-some years of memories seemed insignificant in front of Nezha's age, which now amounted to tens of thousands.
Yet it was these brief twenty-some years that became the foundation of Nezha's character, so he never forgot.
Informing Jin Ling and others, Nezha once again ventured deep into the Chaos, far away from the Primordial world.
He did not know the way back, but he now possessed the ability to trace back to the source, and time and space could no longer impede him.
The Kunlun Mirror was sacrificed, and using Nezha's memory as a guide, the chaotic power of space-time began to flow orderly under the Mirror's arrangement.
Nezha closed his eyes tightly, locking his thoughts on the moment he came to the Primordial world. The Kunlun Mirror flashed repeatedly, and golden divine light began wrapping around Nezha, bringing him to the moment of his descent.
A silver trajectory unfolded before Nezha's eyes. Not interfering, he chose to go against the flow.
Time continued to flow backward, crossing the barrier of the Primordial world, Chaos, the unknown, countless dimensions, and immeasurable distances. Nezha sensed the weakening spiritual energy around him and the fragility of the world, prompting him to suppress his mana and power.
Continuing forward, Nezha vaguely felt himself crossing a boundary. If the spiritual energy in Chaos was chaotic gas, here it was in a solid state.
An invisible force suppressed everything, and Nezha could break through this bondage, but that would shatter everything here.
Gazing at the endless starry sky, Nezha wondered if the Inner Chaos he was once vague about truly existed.
In the depths of an unknown universe, even separated by countless light-years, Nezha easily locked onto that blue planet.
On a mountain of the planet, a seemingly dim-witted youth sat by a tent, waiting for tonight's meteor shower.
With just a brief glance, Nezha knew there would be no meteors tonight.
Something within his heart seemed to be resolved.
He stretched out his hand, and the Creation Jade Scroll appeared in his palm. With a finger gesture, a white light separated, speeding towards the Blue Star with a tiny fragment of Taihuangtian.
Back mountain of the Blue Star
The dim-witted youth took out his phone to check the time, wondering why it was already eight o'clock, and there were still no meteors?
At that moment, dazzling brilliance streaked across the distant starry sky.
The young man immediately put his hands together and made a wish: Meteor, oh meteor, I hope to find a stable, decent job!
May my parents be healthy and live long!
After making the wishes, the young man opened his eyes to see a brilliant star flame enlarging rapidly in front of him!
"Ahhhhh! Oh shit!"
Boom!
...
The next morning
Last night, a meteorite struck a mountain in Dalaizi Mountain District, causing a small-scale forest fire. Fortunately, there were no casualties at the scene. The fire has been extinguished by firefighters, and a small meteorite found at the site has been collected by a museum and named Heavenly Profound.
At the dining table in front of the TV, Father Li turned to ask, "Son, didn't you say you were going to watch the meteors at that very spot? Good thing you didn't go, thanks to the ancestors' blessing."
The young man, while shoveling rice into his mouth, replied, "There were too many bugs on the mountain, besides, making wishes doesn't come true; we should believe in science. I'll find work tomorrow."
Mother Li was overjoyed to hear this.
"No need to rush; a little more rest at home won't hurt."
"By the way, you're twenty-five or six now, it's time to find a partner. I have some friends who know some good matches, maybe you could get to know them first!"
The young man felt both amused and helpless at being urged to find a partner. After finishing the last few bites of his meal, he rose to return to his room, dressed, and left the house.
Looking up at the sky, Nezha felt a bit nostalgic and realized he still needed to find a job. The meteor incident was true, but Nezha altered everyone's perception and postponed it by a day.
The me from before went to the Primordial world, and the current me has returned.
Now, this body is merely a projection of my true form in the endless cosmos, and for Nezha, the Blue Star is truly too fragile.
Forty-some years passed in the blink of an eye, and after laying his parents to rest, Nezha decided to leave this place.
The fragile Blue Star could no longer accommodate Nezha's path-seeking journey. Perhaps one day, when the people of this world grasp all the rules to the limit, they would break through the current barrier to another Chaos.
The youth's figure gradually faded, and all memories of him over these decades were slowly erased. Former colleagues, friends, and even family had their memories of that person gradually blur and disappear.
But they continued to act in accordance with invisible rules, and without anyone, this world could still function.
In the depths of the starry sky, Nezha's true form awoke, and part of Nezha's consciousness completed the life that should have belonged to him, while another part was constantly observing the rules of this universe.
If the rules of Chaos were chaotic and elusive like gaseous forms, the rules here have all been materialized, as if solidified.
Extraordinary power struggles to sustain itself here; only mastering the rules is the right path.
Not only was the difficulty of observing these solidified and manifested rules greatly reduced, but there were also many Great Daos unfamiliar to Nezha. Mastering more Great Daos would one day lead to qualitative changes through accumulation.
Leaving behind a space-time coordinate, Nezha returned to the Primordial world, the perfection of his heart granting him a minor breakthrough in his cultivation.
Hundreds of years later, contrary to expectation, the five outlying Saints had still not returned. Nezha vaguely comprehended that everyone was seeking their own path. The Primordial world was vast, but to the Saints, it was still too small.
The boundless Chaos and endless unknowns were the directions for finding one's path.
Chaos Origin is not the end, but another beginning.
(The End!)
