Every world has its own way of operating, but no matter the world, its stability is certainly closely related to its native living beings.
Because the native living beings of the Floating Land World are already extinct, the will of the Floating Land World can no longer borrow power.
Precisely because the world will of the Floating Land World could no longer protect itself, it had to give birth to “will.”
Jiang Wang clearly remembered that when he first discussed the Floating Land World with Ruan Su, Ruan Su said this seemed to be a tomb world.
What is a tomb world?
Some are the burial places of powerful individuals.
And more are… worlds that have already perished.
In such worlds, spiritual energy is completely scattered, and there is no vitality left. Forget about giving birth to cultivators, it’s even difficult for any living thing to appear.
For example, the Ten Thousand World Wild Tomb is made up of countless perished worlds piled together, forming the largest tomb world deep in the universe. That is also the “tomb” the Human Race chose for the Demon Race.
Only the Demon Race survived in their own way, but just looking at the state of those Yin Demons, it’s hard to even use the word “live.”
This is not hard to understand; life inherently has infinite possibilities for adaptation. A typical example is the Sea Race.
But Jiang Wang always felt Ruan Su’s guess was just a guess and never thought it had a possibility of becoming reality. This is because he had already seen the vibrant vitality of the Floating Land World and the vigorous life force of the Floating Land Human Race.
Those cultures, histories, are all traces of vigorous life.
The Floating Land World has a large population, with hundreds of thousands of tribes. Just one Fire Race has thirty-six tribes, and just one Swift Fire Tribe has a million people!
The warriors of each tribe are brave and skilled in war, and the Totem Cultivation System is also extremely complete. There are also quite a few super powerful individuals at the Totem Spirit level.
Such a world, is it a tomb world?
Such a world, has it already perished?
More importantly, how can a world that has already perished still have a world will?
The first step in the destruction of a world is always the collapse of the world’s underlying rules. And the world will is precisely the embodiment of the world’s rules.
At this time, it was quiet in all directions.
Jiang Wang’s dialogue with Swift Fire Yu Xiu was only allowed to be heard by the people who came with him to the Floating Land.
And every word in this conversation shocked them.
King Qing in the distant carriage had an excited expression, probably wanting some explanation. And Qing Huo Yuan Chen on the side was asking him to maintain patience while gathering the army.
Jiang Wang didn’t care at all. He just looked at the blood corpses everywhere, looked at Qing Li, who was still chanting scriptures without anyone’s help, still converting the blood corpses one by one, and sending them out of the array.
That clean, handsome face was immersed in a world of compassion. He seemed completely unaware of fatigue, even though that terrifying consumption could have long since dragged down a powerful Spirit Transformation realm cultivator.
“I’ve always been thinking about one problem,” Jiang Wang said. “When Ao Kui was driving the blood corpses and guiding me to confront them, I thought – what would happen if I really destroyed those corpses?”
Swift Fire Yu Xiu explained, “Whether these people are alive or dead, they are all within the normal operation of this world and can provide nourishment to this world. But if these corpses are annihilated, it only reduces His power. The person who does this will proactively become His enemy. I think that old dragon understood you very well, and also understood your methods, so he wanted to provoke a fight between you and Him, so that he himself would have an opportunity to escape.”
The Three Tastes True Fire burns everything and decomposes everything. Swift Fire Yu Xiu saw this characteristic, and Ao Kui naturally understood it even more.
The struggle with Ao Kui was over; it was far from the time to savor victory, so Jiang Wang only asked, “Who is ‘Him’?”
Swift Fire Yu Xiu spoke almost word by word, with pauses: “An existence that occupies this world like a dove occupying a magpie’s nest. He is the creator of the Floating Land Human Race, He also created the Star Beasts, and He also once created the Evil Ghosts in this world.”
That terrifying existence almost created everything present in the Floating Land World.
He has the ability to create races! He created the Floating Land Human Race, created the Star Beasts, created the Evil Ghosts!
It must be known that Hu Tai Sui once hoped to achieve transcendence by creating the “Spirit Race.”
Although the Floating Land Human Race and Evil Ghosts are not entirely new races and are not enough to provide the kind of huge boost needed for ascension like the Spirit Race, this is undoubtedly a performance level close to transcendence!
Even Leng as Ji Fate, who was always cold, furrowed his brow at this time, feeling pressure.
Jiang Wang asked, “Do you know His name?”
Swift Fire Yu Xiu shook her head. “I don’t know either. Perhaps you think I know everything, but in reality, I only live at the bottom of this well and only understand the stories within the bottom of the well. Later, even everything within the bottom of this well could not be fully understood.”
She sat up straight, her hands clasped together. The mask kept her expression hidden, and she said slowly, “He personally shattered the stars in the sky, struck through this world, killed almost all the living beings in this world, but He needed this world, so He did not erase the world will. Based on the instinct for self-protection, after countless times of self-preservation at the rule level were erased, ‘I’… was born from it.”
The Floating Land World indeed has the legend of stars falling from the sky, striking the ground, and forming earth caves. And these were actually the masterpieces of some existence!
Jiang Wang recalled everything he knew in this world. While his thoughts became clearer, he also felt more sorrow: “The origin of the world produces will, which was originally supposed to sound the horn of counterattack. This share of will was born precisely for this. As the will of the world will, you certainly have a way to absorb the power of the living beings surviving in this world, no matter who created them.
“But this world has its own cultivation system. A single sentence, ‘Gods have no self; if they have self, they must have selfishness,’ cut off your source of faith and prevented you from utilizing the power of the Floating Land Human Race to the maximum.
“At the same time, He also put shackles on this world again, making the Totem Holy Spirit a feasible yet forever unattainable realm, also limiting your power to the maximum.”
Who has such means? To arbitrarily transform a world, to willfully grasp the birth and death of races, to wantonly play with the will of a world!
Jiang Wang had always felt that everything was the unfathomable will of Heaven, that Heaven’s will was high and difficult to ask about. He was tortured in the Demon World to the point where there was no path to Heaven and no door to Earth, struggling countless times and failing countless times.
And in front of this existence that traverses the Floating Land World, the so-called “Heaven’s will” of the Floating Land World is actually so weak and pitiful.
The gap embodied here is something that even a heavenly moat is not enough to describe.
Does he still want to participate in such a dangerous game within this world?
Swift Fire Yu Xiu lowered her head. She was too tired to lift it: “I have struggled too many times, for too many years. I once descended as an Evil Ghost, controlled the power of the Ghost Race, swept through the Floating Land, searching for His true body. I once thought I was already approaching success… but with one hand from Him, it was all an illusion. That battle only became a resource for Him to strengthen the Floating Land Human Race. Everything is in His palm. The so-called world changes, the grand waves, are all scenery within a basin.”
Her voice was low: “My choice to descend as a Floating Land Human Race was perhaps my last resistance. But truly, as you know, I hold the Book of Creation from which I was born, and it was tampered with at the moment of my birth. It wasn’t that the pitiful witch read it wrong; it’s that only now can I change it back. He only needed a single thought, a snap of His fingers, and I wasted several more years.”
If Heaven had emotions, Heaven would also grow old!
The world will, once it gives birth to “self,” also has “selfishness” and can feel tired and pained.
In other words, even Swift Fire Yu Xiu, who represents the world will, feels so powerless. How about Jiang Wang and the others?
This group of guests from outside Heaven are all just flesh and blood bodies and have no connection with the existence of this world; they will not be cherished.
“I think we should find a way to leave,” Ji Fate said seriously. “Ao Kui is dead. Whether it’s responsibility or for self-preservation, what we should do and can do has already been done. The Floating Land has nothing to do with you or me; good and evil cannot be easily judged. We should go back first. There are more important things waiting for us in the present world.”
Jiang Wang looked towards Bai Yu Xia and Lian Yu Chuan: “What do you think?”
Bai Yu Xia had a sword hanging at his waist, his voice leisurely: “I follow the Crimson Tail, not asking about the road ahead. The Eastern Manor asks, but it should not!”
Lian Yu Chuan then said: “Now the Eastern Manor is paying me. When you eat the lord’s salary, you should serve the lord. What you say, I will do.”
Jiang Wang suspected that this Heaven’s Favorite from the Elephant Country was reminding himself to pay his salary. Lian Yu Chuan was currently staying at the White Jade Capital Wine House without any work salary, just getting free meals.
He didn’t speak, only his eyes turned red-gold, sweeping over those blood corpses. Where his gaze reached, the true fire burned, instantly forming a wildfire.
Among the people present, he only didn’t ask about Qing Li’s side because Qing Li was making the choice that Qing Li would make.
Then, how he would choose was also very clear.
Swift Fire Yu Xiu said destroying these corpses was reducing His power and proactively provoking His hostility. Then let’s proactively provoke it!
Fierce fire roared, and the Brahma sound was incessant.
King Qing was still on his war chariot at this time. It seemed because of the army’s encirclement, he gradually felt a bit more confident and said to Qing Huo Yuan Chen beside him, “The so-called disaster that destroys the world originally came from outside Heaven, and ultimately cannot be hoped for from outside Heaven. We should go back and summon the leaders of various tribes to discuss this matter together, not play here with them. The Floating Land Human Race wants to control its own destiny.”
His voice rose high and shouted towards Swift Fire Palace: “Mr. Lin Chuan, if you don’t plan to say anything or do anything, I will take my people back to the tribe!”
Saying that, he waved his hand, wanting to take back the six pages of the Book of Creation left above Swift Fire Palace.
Swift Fire Yu Xiu, who was in the wheelchair, raised her hand and gently pointed, cutting off his connection with the Book of Creation. He didn’t get back a single piece of the six clay tablets.
King Qing’s face changed drastically: “Mr. Lin Chuan! What does she mean by this?”
Qing Huo Yuan Chen raised one arm, and the two hundred thousand strong army instantly turned like a sea tide, fully displaying solemn killing intent!
“Let them go,” Ji Fate said to Jiang Wang. “Even if we really want to handle this matter in this realm, it probably exceeds our capabilities. It’s more appropriate to go back and let senior True Persons or even True Monarchs come over.”
Jiang Wang sighed lightly: “Brother Ji, do you think we can still leave after you say this?”
It didn’t matter what Ji Fate was considering. Whether he wanted to let the Mo family powerhouses come over to reap the rewards, or simply weighed the pros and cons and thought they shouldn’t be involved in danger now.
It was all too late.
The copper bowl still covering the sky upside down was precisely the answer of that “Him.”
Jiang Wang looked at Swift Fire Yu Xiu: “Can you tell me now, what is the Book of Creation?”
Swift Fire Yu Xiu’s voice was quite bitter: “The Book of Creation is a tool He created that can act on the world will. With this, He bypasses my will as the world will and allows this world to operate normally. To this day, even as the world will, having descended as a Floating Land Human Race, if I want to control the world’s authority as much as possible, I also have to do it through it.”
“Mr. Lin Chuan.” Among the large army, King Qing’s voice, which was originally high, suddenly sank: “This king values our past friendship and asks himself if he has always been respectful to you, never rude. If you wanted people, I gave people; if you wanted things, I gave things. I exhausted the power of the Floating Land’s resources to make you happy! Why do you repeatedly disregard me? Is the Floating Land Human Race just so looked down upon by you present-world human races?”
This attitude already showed malice, which was absolutely not good.
Lian Yu Chuan’s eyes turned cold, holding both swords in his hands, then walked towards King Qing’s direction: “We don’t represent the present world, and you don’t represent the Floating Land.”
“Yu Chuan!” Jiang Wang called out to stop Lian Yu Chuan: “Help me guard the little holy monk Qing Li well. He has consumed too much and is probably unable to protect himself.”
Almost at the same time as Jiang Wang spoke, King Qing, who was standing on the war chariot, was instantly ignited by red flames. His whole body turned into flames, entering the strong form of a Totem Spirit.
The six clay tablets above Swift Fire Palace shook, clearly contending with Swift Fire Yu Xiu. King Qing’s power also strengthened.
King Qing, who mastered the King Power Totem, could be considered strong even among present-world Spirit Transformation realm cultivators. If because of his always humble and obedient attitude towards Jiang Wang and others, one thought he was weak, that would be a huge mistake!
At this moment, he was contending with Swift Fire Yu Xiu for the Book of Creation, and even more for the world authority of the Floating Land!
This was also the confrontation between the King Power Totem and the world will.
Just at this moment, there was a rumbling sound in the distance, like thunder rolling.
And as it got closer, the thunder sound became clear. That was the roar of thousands upon thousands of warriors, mixed with chest-full blood—
“We have come by the King’s order, raised elite troops, and received the decree to punish the thieves… Red Thunder Tribe joins in greeting the King!”
The sound of the flood was like stacked waves, chasing after each other layer by layer.
“Pure Water Tribe joins in greeting!”
“Plague Tribe joins in greeting!”
“Original Soil Tribe joins in greeting!”
Even before the expedition against the Swift Fire Tribe, King Qing had already passed orders throughout the world, exhausting the world’s soldiers. The two hundred thousand strong army serving as the vanguard was probably only the army closest to the land of the Swift Fire Tribe.
By this time, if one could view the entire Floating Land as a potted landscape, one could see that the mountain range where the Swift Fire Tribe’s land was located was already surrounded by dense armies from various tribes of the world, a sea of people, millions strong!
Along with this surging shout, a great power was also surging.
Root after root of Totem Stone Pillars representing the various tribes of the Floating Land rose from the ground, wanting to rush straight to the sky. Almost instantly, they formed a vast and towering stone forest, turning the entire land of the Swift Fire Tribe into an empty clearing within the forest.
Moreover, the Totem Stone Pillars reached the sky, and the Totem Power rose like beacon smoke, supporting a high king’s seat— King Qing, whose body was like flames, wore a crown, stepped onto a power staircase paved with flames, climbed the stairs, and then sat down on this supreme position!
And Jiang Wang until this moment, just looked towards this majestic and boundless supreme king, his long sword hanging diagonally, his gaze quiet and cold: “You ask why I ignored him?”
He held his sword and also stepped onto the empty air staircase, below his feet was the burning Three Tastes True Fire, sweeping like sea waves, burning the blood corpses into pieces—
“Because I was waiting for you!”
Thanks to book friend “Feng Tian Cheng Xia Yin Da Ye” for becoming the alliance master of this book, this is the 476th alliance for Chi Xin Xun Tian!
