Chapter 611: The Truth of the Path to Heaven (2)

“After all, hope serves as the motivation for progress. Being in darkness is not synonymous with despair. True despair lies in the awareness that you are in darkness.”

Hearing this, Tian Shu looked surprised.

“Just as you said, this is the reason why we set this rule back then.”

Hearing this, Feng Qi smiled instead.

After exploring numerous timelines, his worldview had been overturned multiple times. He realized that the world as he perceived it was not the truth at all. The invisible dark side concealed an abundance of darkness and despair.

Fortunately, he also discovered that there were hidden human forces that had yet to give up and were still working hard to find a chance of survival for humanity’s future.

Now that he knew that there was still a group of human experts on the Path to Heaven, he was relieved.

This path of salvation was accompanied by darkness and light. It was not complete darkness.

There were still many hidden companions.

Perhaps they were in different places, but they did not give up on human civilization, let alone choose to compromise with fate.

“Tian Shu, continue telling us about why you lost control.”

Tian Shu nodded and continued.

“At that time, I was taken to the Path to Heaven by Mu Yao. The Path to Heaven was like a spider web, and the various routes were intertwined. I was assigned to guard the main Route 32 and was in charge of patrolling the nearby branch routes.”

“I only truly understand the brutality of the battles there when I journey to the Path to Heaven.”

“Among the domain forces that infiltrated the Path to Heaven, there were races that staked the lives of their entire kind to enter the human world, seeking hope for their future. They could be described as extremely relentless in their quest to overcome the challenges. Each battle was a struggle for life and death.”

“During that period, my teammates changed batch after batch. If I didn’t have the enhancement of the divine patterns, I think I would have died in battle there. There would always be new teammates sent to the Path to Heaven by Mu Yao to become our comrades.”

“I’ve also grown rapidly in constant battles. The divine patterns have absorbed and analyzed the blood of a large number of domain creatures, allowing me to obtain many powerful abilities. These simulation abilities are an important power for me to resist domain creatures.”

At this point, Tian Shu looked like he was reminiscing.

After a long silence, he continued.

“When I was at my loneliest, I was the only one guarding Route 32. All my other comrades died in battle… Perhaps the old woman knew that I could guard a main road and stopped transporting soldiers to Route 32.”

“At that time, I would often wander around the newly established route nearby. For nearly 30 years, I was alone. During that period, I was extremely lonely. I can’t remember how many domain creatures I’ve killed so far.”

“During the days of guarding Route 32, it was normal for me to be severely injured. However, I still relied on the powerful recovery ability given by the divine patterns to survive time and time again.”

Hearing this, Feng Qi analyzed something.

The Path to Heaven seemed to be huge. The Heavenly Soldiers were mainly guarding the main road. At the same time, they were in charge of patrolling and checking the nearby side roads.

“Will the constant killing make you confused?” he asked curiously.

“As long as you have a steadfast goal, you won’t feel adrift. Nonetheless, loneliness is a tangible presence. During the most tedious moments, I even engaged in conversations with domain creatures.”

“And then?” Feng Qi asked.

“Of course, I killed them. I’m not going to let them harm human civilization.”

Mu Qing was speechless.

“In that case, although you were on the Path to Heaven, you had little contact with the other Heavenly Soldiers?”

Tian Shu nodded.

“There’s a platform on the Path to Heaven, the gathering point of the Heavenly Soldiers. Severely injured warriors are transported there for treatment. Every guardian on the main path gets the occasional opportunity to rest and recover there, but I’m an exception.”

“That old woman is a b*tch. She asked me to guard Route 32 alone. No one replaced me and I can’t leave at all!”

Looking at the resentful Tian Shu, Feng Qi suddenly understood why he had such deep resentment towards Mu Yao.

Previously, he was still thinking that since Tian Shu was brought up by Mu Yao, he should have a close relationship with Mu Yao. It was not too much to treat him as family.

From the looks of it, Tian Shu had gotten in too deep and became a glorious human worker.

It was no wonder that he kept mentioning “old woman” when he described Mu Yao.

“I comprehend the old woman’s thoughts. Just as she mentioned before guiding me to Route 32,1 already possess the combat prowess to lead. It’s time for me to shoulder the responsibility.”

“The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.” Feng Qi nodded.

“But that doesn’t stop me from hating her!”

“Maybe you will miss her too.” Mu Qing suddenly interrupted.

“No, I just want to punch her in the face.” Tian Shu denied it immediately.

After chatting for a while, the atmosphere eased a lot and the unfamiliarity faded.

Tian Shu continued to recount his experience.

“When I was guarding Route 32,1 was under immense pressure, so I yearned for powerful strength. During that period, I kept absorbing and analyzing the blood of domain creatures to obtain abilities to become stronger.”

“Then, during a significant battle, I vanquished a domain race. While searching for relics afterward, I discovered a drop of blood preserved in a jade box. It turned out to be a drop of the Pillar Gods’ blood. I could sense immense energy and boundless knowledge of rules within that droplet. Its power closely resembled the description of the Pillar Gods’ abilities given by the old woman..”
