Chapter 1782: All In Readiness

Chapter 1782: All In Readiness

The Sanguine, Hadal, Nihil, Abyssal, and most recent Netherdark Hell that Lu Yun had obtained were all created by the god of Mount Tai. As the first examples of their kind, they were the strongest hells.

Compared to them, Lu Yun’s Disordered Hell was so puny that it was as if a newborn child. If the six hells needed to become the one and only real hell, the Disordered Hell needed to grow stronger. It had to be the strongest of them all, otherwise the mountain god might claim even their combined selves when he reappeared.

……

“These hells…” Lu Yun blinked at the fragmented hells that Violetgrave offered him.

“These ones weren’t refined by the god of Mount Tai,” she chuckled when she read his worry. “The mountain god built the Hadal Hell by destroying nine worlds that’d fully developed, but it was mysteriously conquered by a certain existence. His perfect plan was a complete waste, and I’m the one who created these particular hells.”

“Eh?!” Shock flashed across Lu Yun’s face.

“I’m formed of the Netherdark Hell and am well versed in the mountain god’s hell dao. I can easily refine other hells as long as I pay the proper price.” Violetgrave rubbed her forehead. She’d slept so much before and constantly transacted with others to devour their souls because she expended significant quantities of her own core essence to create the other three hells.

She’d been setting up her own plans, ones to find a cultivator of hell dao so she could help him perfect the dao. Once the cultivator defeated the god of Mount Tai, she would be truly freed from her hell.

Violetgrave had chosen Lu Yun the second she saw him not because he was Fuxi’s heir, but because of the Tome of Life and Death. It was this treasure that’d subdued the Hadal Hell created by the mountain god; the Hadal Hell had later turned into the human hell.

When Lu Yun set out for the Hongmeng, she’d gifted the opportunity of the Hell of Order to him. That enabled him to successfully comprehend the concept of order and break away from the confines of the Hadal Hell, thereby setting foot on his own path.

Thus, he was very grateful to Violetgrave. If it wasn’t for her pointers, he would still be the mountain god’s chess piece—despite owning the Tome of Life and Death. While he’d yet to come face to face with the real god of Mount Tai, Lu Yun had essentially lived in his shadow all this time before.

The young man had struggled free of the cycle of reincarnation and become an anomaly. Every single one of his steps was the future, but he was still operating beneath the mountain god.

Fortified with new knowledge from Violetgrave, Lu Yun cast off his hesitation and immediately set out for the land of darkness. He’d calculated early on that this was where he would establish his dao. Hell dao should rise from the dark; likewise, the darkness of the Land of Reincarnation should be terminated by hell.

Violetgrave breathed out more easily when she saw Lu Yun collect the Netherdark Hell. She was close on his heels to the land of darkness.

There were many passages between the world of immortals and the dark. Some of them were spatial nodes, and some of those existed between the Hongmeng and the darkness. They were scattered throughout the fourth realm like so many tumors, unable to be excised. If the issue of the darkness wasn’t taken care of, the first to be overrun with trouble six hundred years from now wouldn’t be Mount Astronomia. It’d be these spatial nodes that linked to the gloom.

Numerous people sensed the direction of Lu Yun’s travels. Up on the peak of Mount Buzhou, Hongjun suddenly paused in the middle of a lecture for Goldenlight and stood up. Just as he was about to follow the young man, a brilliant star descended over his head.

The World Star.

“Ah Zhi!” Hongjun was taken aback. There was a Mount Buzhou on the star as well, one that was the other side of the one he was on. Since the World Star was here, then its master, the Star Sovereign, must be here too.

“The Major Cycle Worlds have completed their emergence and have been absorbed by the World Star.” Ah Zhi, Chu Xingran, and Diexi stood side by side on the star. The Star Sovereign explained with a smile, “They don’t need to be in the secondary worlds. When Lu Yun takes care of the corpse demon after five hundred years, we can place the Major Cycle Worlds in the cosmos around the ancestral planet and make the worlds whole again!”

The worlds were flawed and Earth was their foundation. Earth was a planet derived from the seed of nothing. If a star containing the Major Cycle Worlds rested in its night sky, then it was very possible the worlds could be made complete!

“Five hundred years…” Hongjun frowned deeply and looked down at the foot of the mountain with great worry.

“Senior, you and Lu Yun won’t be the only ones present then. All of us will be,” Chu Xingran smiled. “The dragon race—azure dragons in particular—and Darklake in the outside realm have decided to stand by Lu Yun’s side. Lu Yun will have powerful reinforcements in five hundred years.

“So not only will there be enemies rushing into the Land of Reincarnation after six hundred years, but there will also be friends.”

Hongjun’s frown abated somewhat—he was thinking of Chen Xiao and Qing Buyi. And unknown to the man, Lu Yun’s brother had also made quite a name for himself and was one of the richest tycoons around.

Qing Yu and the little fox were in closed door cultivation. When they received the ten thousand heaven and earth ancestral veins, they immediately decided to combine the core essence of the world of sequence and Fairylands as one.

Fairylands had once been a fake world of sequence that successfully pulled the wool over many people’s eyes. Thus, there were many similarities between it and a real world of sequence. Combining the two had been Lu Yun’s plan all along.

As opposed to completing tasks one by one, he was finishing several at the same time.

Rumble—

Golden radiance enveloped Mount Buzhou as a tree of pure gold suddenly appeared by its foot, soaring to the sky and dyeing the mountain with its splendor.

The Karmic Tree!

It wasn’t the one growing in the center of Lu Yun’s kingdom of hell, it was Tianqi’s.

Tianqi was just Tianqi after the Tome of Life and Death thoroughly severed his ties to the past. In the same vein, he’d willingly given up the Karmic Tree. Otherwise, the god of Mount Tai would certainly tamper with the tree when he came back and somehow revert Tianqi back into the mountain god.

Boundless energy of virtue flowed out of the tree and encircled the mountain. It also draped around Hongjun and slowly dissolved the terrifying retribution he carried on his shoulders. At the same time, the Mount Buzhou on the World Star turned into a shadow that melded into the landmass beneath it, solidifying the mountain.

The combination of the two mountains also pushed the power of the Major Cycle Stars within the World Star toward the mausoleum in space. Everything was done to prepare for the grand occasion in five hundred years.

Even Princess Mu on Earth forfeited her temple to visit Mount Buzhou so she could bask in the magnificence of virtue.

Lu Yun reached the land of darkness at this moment.
