Chapter 448: The True Ancient Predecessor
The desolate laughter echoed far and wide within the vacuum of space, completely shattering the laws of physics.
Dragon Emperor, standing beside them, looked at Lu Heng in astonishment as he burst into laughter, her expression growing increasingly anxious. "Brother Lu! What has happened to you? Please, do tell me. Don't scare me like this!"
Dragon Emperor, being concerned, becomes flustered and anxious.
Lu Heng, however, completely disregarded her and continued to laugh desolately, emitting a burst of laughter that was both reminiscent of crying and smiling, echoing through the entire starry sky.
The planet beneath their feet trembled violently.
Shaken by Lu Heng's laughter.
And such laughter seemed to awaken something.
Within the depths of the planetary expanse, a terrifying aura that reverberated through the stars suddenly emerged. Within that aura, an indescribable euphoria was laden.
It exclaimed in joyous surprise.
"Heavenly Lord? Heavenly Lord, you have returned?"
A hoarse yet ecstatic shout reverberated through the void, echoing across the cosmos, causing the planets of the entire solar system to tremble with the intensity of this exhilarating laughter.DiisCoover updated novels on n(o)v./e/lbin(.)com
In the bewildered and astonished expressions of Lu Heng and the Dragon Emperor, the voice that emanated from beneath the lunar surface exclaimed with excitement, "Heavenly Lord! It is me! Fanzuiqianshou! The one who was suppressed by your hand all those years ago!"
"You once said before you departed, that as long as I stayed on the moon, guarding humanity for a millennium, upon your triumphant return from battles beyond the heavens, you would set me free!"
"But I have guarded your human race for over two thousand cycles within the moon, even as those humans forgot my existence, ceased to offer me reverence, and eventually sailed far into the depths of the stellar realms, leaving me abandoned here for eternity."
"I, as a sinner, however, have been waiting here for you, believing that you will return."
"Woo woo woo I have almost forgotten how long I have stayed in this desolate and chilling ghostly place, suffering day and night from the torment of the thunder left behind by you. In the end, even the thunder can no longer inflict pain upon me, yet you still haven't returned Woo woo woo"
"Heavenly Lord! These years, I have truly lived a life worse than death! I beseech you for your mercy!"
"I truly understand my wrongdoings and have completely reformed. I implore you to grant me mercy and provide the sinner with an opportunity for redemption!"
"Throughout my life, I am willing to be a dog, a mere insect at the feet of the Heavenly Lord. As long as the Heavenly Lord spares me, I willingly offer myself to be driven by the Heavenly Lord, to be at the complete disposal of the Heavenly Lord!"
From the core of the planet, there came a hoarse cry filled with excitement, anguish, and hysterical weeping.
A supremely powerful and unrivaled being, whose mere emanation of presence is enough to shake the galaxies, causing both Lu Heng and Dragon Emperor Xiu Ya to feel a spine-chilling sensation, is now pleading with Lu Heng, trembling and shedding tears.
In such a scenario, Dragon Emperor's expression became dull and lifeless.
Although the several corpses witnessed on Earth and the golden deity statues that flew out from the ruins of the lunar city have already indicated Lu Heng's extraordinary nature.
However, the sight of a top-notch, unrivaled powerhouse pleading to Lu Heng continues to deeply shake the heart and mind of the Dragon Emperor.
The presence within the lunar core, judging by the mere leakage of its aura, is even more terrifying than the three formidable individuals whose imprints were left on the corpses on Earth. Yet, it now shamelessly begs for mercy from Lu Heng, devoid of any dignity
Dragon Emperor gazed at Lu Heng with a hesitant expression, and for a moment, hesitated to call out "Brother Lu" again.
Lu Heng, on the other hand, furrowed his brow and lowered his gaze to the planetary core beneath his feet, unable to comprehend.
He could be certain that he didn't recognize the supreme being sealed within the planetary core beneath his feet. However, it was quite evident that the other party recognized him, and even addressed him as "Heavenly Lord"
In the luminous sphere, Fanzuiqianshou fervently expresses its loyalty, fearfully dreading that Lu Heng might once again abandon it within this frigid and pitch-dark Starry Sky Tomb.
However, Lu Heng furrowed his brows as he gazed at the sphere of light before him and listened to the words emanating from within, stirring indescribable emotions within his heart.
The great Time Millstone reacquire the beloved lost the greatest taboo in the celestial realm thirty million years
The words uttered in pleading cries, every significant message contained within each sentence, were like the sharpest sword piercing Lu Heng's heart, causing his soul to tremble with anguish.
Indeed
It has indeed been a long time.
Even longer than he had imagined.
Thirty million years ago, he had unexpectedly achieved enlightenment at this very place, capable of exterminating such terrifying adversaries, to the extent of even attempting to reverse the so-called Time Millstone and retrieve the long-departed souls.
Such an experience didn't exist at all in Lu Heng's memory.
However, when Fanzuiqianshou uttered these words, it evoked within him an indescribable sense of familiarity.
It seems that in the distant past, amidst this cold and desolate cosmic expanse, there was indeed a solitary enlightened one who single-handedly vanquished numerous invading enemies, preserved the continuity of human civilization, and ultimately left behind such a supreme being to protect the human race.
And he himself, ventured alone beyond the world, in an attempt to reverse the so-called Time Millstone.
In the end, he committed the greatest taboo in the realms of the heavens.
Indeed, this is the reason why Sister Yuanjun is still alive in the world.
It was not Sister Yuanjun who reversed everything, saving him, but rather he himself, thirty million years ago, reversing everything and rescuing the soul of Sister Yuanjun?
But what happened afterwards?
The Sister Yuanjun, who should have long perished, is now alive in the world, waiting for him in the so-called "Heaven beyond Heaven".
However, he turned into an ordinary wolf demon in the Celestial Desolation Realm, lacking cultivation at first, and even forgetting everything that had happened before.
What the River Map and the Luo Book are, Sister Yuanjun, defeating powerful enemies from different realms, reversing Time Millstone, and even the reason behind his current appearance Lu Heng has completely lost all memories of these events.
When listening to Fanzuiqianshou recount "his" past, a familiar sensation arises within, signaling the undeniable authenticity of the narrative.
Inside his soul, there still lingers a trace of the same sentiments from that year.
However, the current him, only remains with those few lingering sentiments
Not even fragments of memories were able to be retained.
He was unaware of what had happened that year, unable to recall anything he had done. He could only stand silently within the core of the moon, listening to the heart-wrenching sobs of Fanzuiqianshou, while witnessing the awe-struck and terrified gaze of Dragon Emperor Xiu Ya beside him. He let out a bitter, rueful smile.
Incredibly, it turns out that he himself is indeed what is referred to as an ancient predecessor
Even the heavenly thunder that he believed he had accidentally obtained turned out to be the very foundation he had once left behind.
After all, he, who existed three hundred million years ago, relied on heavenly thunder to annihilate his enemies.
Even the very confines that suppress Fanzuiqianshou, the Heavenly Thunder Prison, bear striking resemblance to the innermost depths of Hanyu Mountain's very own Heavenly Thunder Prison
