Chapter 5709: Xuan Ming

The Heaven Vein Mystic Realm was completely destroyed, wiped out of existence. Within this void, the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign’s voice suddenly rang out.

“Do you want to say anything?”

After a long time, an ancient and heavy voice responded, “Did you tell him to do this?”

“You’re overthinking it. It wasn’t easy to find someone capable of inheriting my legacy. Although he isn’t from my dragon race, he is still my disciple. Do you think I’d harm him with this karma?” replied the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign.

“You’re snatching the Nine Star Master’s disciple. What karma could you possibly fear?” retorted the voice.

“After being imprisoned for so many years, I’ve long since grown indifferent to life and death. No matter how great the karma is, I can endure it. Whether or not my divine abilities can be passed down is of greater importance. Unfortunately, I was too reckless in my youth and lacked the patience to train disciples. Then the world changed too suddenly. In this declined era, the so-called heavenly geniuses are only mediocre compared to those from the primal chaos era. But Long Chen’s appearance gave me hope. I’m planning to pass down all my life’s learning to him,” said the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign, his voice swelling with pride and gratification at the mention of Long Chen.

“Haha, don’t forget who caused our current state,” sneered the voice, sounding thick with bitter resentment.

The voice continued, “The Nine Star Master rose to the very peak, taking control of heaven and earth. He then decided to rebuild the laws of existence. But what happened? The nine heavens and ten lands were torn down because of him, nearly destroyed. All the races suffered terrible losses. You and I ended up imprisoned, while our descendants barely cling to survival. Was this not all because of that husband and wife?”

As it spoke of the Nine Star Master, the voice seethed with incredible rage.

The Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign remained silent before its furious outburst.

Realizing it had perhaps spoken too harshly, the voice softened. “Big Brother Xiu Yang, I’ve always respected you. But your actions this time… I truly cannot understand them.”

“Xuan Ming, have you only recently awakened?” asked the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign.

Confused by the sudden shift in topic, the voice responded, “Yes. I woke up about a million years ago. This formation has truly trapped me.”

“As for myself, for all these years, I have maintained a half-slumbering, half-awake state.”

“Then you must have suffered immensely…” Xuan Ming was shocked.

“I refuse to remain imprisoned. I refuse to let my abilities vanish with me. I have always waited for an opportunity, searching for an heir. Moreover, over all these years, I have constantly pondered a single question. I am seeking the answer to that tribulation.”

“Answer? What do you mean?”

“I feel like the nine heavens and ten lands might actually be one grand setup, a trap laid long before we were even born,” said the Dragon Sovereign.

“What are you talking about? You and I were born as gods of heaven and earth. We are the primordial beings of this world. Before us, heaven and earth were a mass of primal chaos!” exclaimed Xuan Ming.

“Then before that primal chaos?”

“I…”

“Other than that, do you recall anything about your youth?”

“That’s so long ago. How could I possibly remember?”

“Have you ever wondered—did you simply forget, or were those memories erased?”

“Big brother, what are you trying to say?!” Xuan Ming’s tone grew tense.

“Why did the Nine Star Master break the laws of the nine heavens and ten lands? Why did he find himself deserted as his friends and allies rebelled? Did he really go crazy? Even if he did, his wife was the only one in the nine heavens and ten lands to achieve the Dao through alchemy, becoming a Heavenly Sovereign. She was always wise and farsighted. Tell me, did she go crazy as well?” asked the Dragon Sovereign. ℟ἈΝỗᛒĘs

Xuan Ming was silent for a while, unable to answer.

After contemplating a bit, Xuan Ming said, “But you cannot deny that human nature is unstable. Their emotions constantly fluctuate. They often cause their own downfall. When it snows, they build snowmen and rejoice, only to later destroy them. They create beauty, only to ruin it. If they see a field of pure snow, they always stain it with a handprint or footprint. The human race simply cannot allow beautiful things to exist. If they can’t taint it, they’ll think of a way to destroy it. Most frightening of all, they do the same to themselves. Survival is a kind of instinct, but the human race somehow manages to defy it. Throughout all the nine heavens and ten lands, amongst all the myriad races and spirits, which other race kills itself as the humans do?”

Xuan Ming spoke with deep conviction, exposing the core of human nature.

The Dragon Sovereign responded, “The human race has an expression: the earth does not give rise to nameless grass, and the heavens do not give birth to useless people.”

“You think the world needs them?” Xuan Ming scoffed, making it clear he saw the human race as a plague upon existence.

If they didn’t exist, the nine heavens and ten lands would be better off. Their current plight was entirely due to humans.

“Not ‘need’. But only with them can this world move. I know you don’t want to accept it, but let me put it this way: the human race is an assembly of contradictions. They are both good and bad, wise and foolish, noble and wretched. They are the most unstable element in this world…”

“That’s right! Without them, this world would be perfectly balanced. Wouldn’t things be peaceful?” Xuan Ming interjected.

“But have you considered what kind of peace that would be? It would be like a pool of dead water. Eventually, this world would rot away into nothingness. Only by shaking this balance can there be movement. Today there is sun, tomorrow there are clouds. Just like how your foot must rise and fall, this is what drives the world. If your foot does not move, it means this world has already died.”

“I don’t understand your reasoning. But regardless, my opinion remains. The human race is the most loathsome lifeform. I will never have anything to do with them,” declared Xuan Ming.

BOOM!

A resounding slam echoed, followed by several more.

Hearing that, the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign smiled.

“That might not be up to you. Now that Long Chen has shattered the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm, the balance of the minor worlds is no more. The shackles of the Sovereign Emperor Heaven have been broken. A new era is coming!”
