Chapter 822: The Truth of the Three Realms

With a wave of the leader’s sleeves of the Heaven Burial Organization, the Star Observatory rotated, reaching the top of the Heavenly Tower, revealing a section of the starry sky.

Qin Feng found himself at this moment as if he were in the universe, surrounded by stars, and on each star, he could see a person’s past.

There were diligent farmers.

There were fishermen who worked at sunrise and rested at sunset.

There were bandits who raided homes, there were soldiers who defended their homes and country, and so on.

These countless stars, big and small, seemed to be the epitome of this world.

However, behind that river of stars, there seemed to be a vague shadow, resembling Gods and Demons, resembling a ruler.

With a gentle wave of his hand, two stars collided, and the bandits who raided homes invaded the village, killing all the fishermen in the village.

With a flick of his finger, stars were destroyed, and the lives represented by those stars were overturned in an instant.

He looked down on billions of living beings, effortlessly deciding their fate, with an indifferent expression, as if merely playing a common game.

“At the beginning of chaos, when heaven and earth first came into being, there was no division into three realms, but all were in a state of chaos.”

“There was Primordial Qi which gave birth to Yin and Yang, creating two principles that further formed the Four Symbols and transformed into a myriad of things, and then the chaotic world began to thrive.”

“Yet apart from the Primordial Qi, there was also another primal essence of heaven and earth – naive as a newborn, but gradually developing a will over the course of aeons.”

“It had witnessed the ceaseless turning of the vast wilderness into fields, the cycles of the sun and moon, the patterns of life and death, dynasties rising and falling.”

“It sighed at the insignificance of all things, and felt that a single heaven and earth was really boring, so it used its own origin as the foundation and created it into three.”

“Since then, the three realms were born.”

Simple words, yet they crashed over Qin Feng like a tsunami. He stood dazed and asked “So this realm of the three heavens originated from the evolution of that primal essence?”

The leader of the Heaven Burial Organization walked slowly, his expression extremely solemn: “You went to the Netherworld Realm to save your father and to save it from destruction.”

“When you destroyed the Heaven Soul, you uncovered another realm beyond the three realms and a trace of its aura was revealed.”

“It was also because of this aura that I and the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower were able to divine the truth of heaven and earth.”

That truth was the source of his despair!

He took a deep breath, enunciating each word clearly: “These three realms were not born from the heavens and earth, but rather formed when that primordial essence of heaven and earth split it into three realms and condensed into separate domains!”

“Now that the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower is dead, the seal is only maintained by the Divine Guardian alone, and it is impossible to continue suppressing the source of heaven and earth. At most, there is only one year left before it can break free from the seal and reappear. At that time, no one will be his opponent.”

“These three realms exist because of him, and destroying them would be effortless!”

“In that case, what can I do?” Qin Feng said blankly, feeling that any struggle against such an existence seemed futile.

“You have Primordial Qi in your body, which is the only power that can counter the source of heaven and earth.”

“But you are still far too weak. Only by reaching the Transcendence Realm can you give birth to a faint glimmer of hope.”

“You must tread a Transcendence path no one has ever walked – the Path of the Entire World, built upon the will of all living beings across the three realms!”

“The path of the world?” Qin Feng repeated in a whisper.

“This path is not easy to walk, and you don’t have much time left, but there is still one last resort, albeit with a nine-in-ten chance of death.”

“What’s the method?”

The white-haired elder looked at Qin Feng, hesitating before replying, “You must discard your mortal body, sending your soul into the Netherworld Realm’s Yellow Springs to experience a hundred reincarnation cycles within this remaining year, comprehending the will of all living beings.”

“If your soul remains intact and can then reunite with your physical body, you would be able to tread the Path of the Entire World and reach the Transcendence Realm!”

Qin Feng left the Grand Literature Academy and returned to the Qin Mansion with Anya.

Seeing his distracted expression, she asked with concern, “Husband, did the master tell you something? You’ve been absent-minded ever since descending from the Heavenly Tower.”

Qin Feng snapped out of his thoughts, and as he gazed quietly at Anya, she inexplicably became flustered and uneasy.

It was as if she was about to lose her husband soon and would never see him again.

“I wanted the teacher to help me calculate how many children my wife could bear, but he knocked me on the head, so I started to have wild thoughts. You know about the Third Brother’s prophecy, but I swear by the conscience of heaven and earth, I only love you three wives!”

Upon hearing this, Anya’s cheeks flushed instantly, and she snorted, “Husband surely said the same to Sister Sword and Sister Fei before. Your words cannot be trusted!”

Qin Feng recalled for a moment, feeling a little guilty, as if that was indeed the case.

Qin Feng recalled and felt a tinge of guilt – it did seem he had indeed said similar things before.

He reached out to gently brush Anya’s temples, savoring her faint fragrance and warmth, yet his mind dwelled on the words he heard atop the Heavenly Tower.

It wasn’t a multiple-choice question.
