Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 645: The Mo Dan People Dispersed
This day.

The vast universe and all the worlds seemed to become three times brighter than before, and countless people felt that the sword hanging over their heads seemed to have disappeared.

The danger of running out of life at any time seems to have disappeared.

The wheels of life of all immortal beings have regained their former luster.

All beings who were in a happy mood began to celebrate instinctively, and the heavens and all the worlds were filled with the excitement of liberation.

As for why, no one cares.

As for Emperor Huang Tian, ​​Emperor Ye Tian, ​​and Emperor Chu Tian, ​​no one cares where they are.

No one could even remember their names.

At this moment, all living beings in the heavens and worlds completely forgot about the three Heavenly Emperors.

But inside the Heavenly Palace, Ye Yishui built a grand altar.

Even he himself didn't know why he built the altar.

But his instinct drove him to perform the sacrifice.

At first, people did not think that offering sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven had any special meaning.

However, as the number of sacrifices increased, the sound of profound scriptures began to emerge faintly from the mysterious altar, which attracted the attention of all living beings.

Outside of the Heavenly Palace, countless powerful leaders of sects went to the Heavenly Palace to inquire about the situation.

For this purpose, the Emperor of Heaven specially convened the Peach Festival.

Afterwards, the custom of offering sacrifices spread throughout the heavens.

Some people say that it is asking questions to the unknown existence.

Others say that it is a way to commemorate deceased ancestors in the hope that they will be resurrected one day.

However, the Immortal Emperor, who was able to see through the long river of time, denied this view.

After all, they didn't see any special life in the long river of time.

However, through sacrifice, one can summon the mysterious scriptures of the Great Dao, which is a real gain.

All the heavens and worlds, and countless evolutionary systems, began to change because of those inexplicably appearing scriptures.

It seems to be evolving in an unknown direction.

Day after day, year after year.

They don't know why they are performing sacrifices, yet they can gain benefits through the sacrifices.

This continued for several epochs.

Suddenly one day, a sentence appeared on the mysterious altar, "I am here, I have always been here", which immediately ignited the enthusiasm of everyone.

In order to uncover the truth, the scale of the sacrifice began to expand.

In order to compete for enough sacrifices, entire worlds began to be sacrificed.

Later, one sacrificial sea after another appeared.

The Heavenly Court wanted to step in to stop the infighting, but ended in failure, and even caused serious damage to the Heavenly Court.

From then on, the world entered an era of disorder where heroes fought for supremacy.

……

And outside the scroll of ancient history, there is a land of nothingness.

Huang, Ye, and Chu were staring at a Tai Chi diagram composed of mysterious symbols.

Beneath the Tai Chi diagram, it seems that the corpses of countless gods and demons are buried.

Life and death are expressed in a concrete way here.

"Back then, we were resurrected here?" Chu Feng said in disbelief.

In his eyes, those gods and demons were so weak, but the mysteries of life and death and fragments of the laws of the universe contained in them seemed like the true source of their own Tao and Law.

“Could this be the real birthplace of the sick predecessor? The so-called nothingness before death is just relative to our ancient history?” Ye Fan said with a serious expression.

Although they were resurrected here that year, they did not know the truth about this place.

Now it seems that this was once a prosperous world with perfect natural order, but it was destroyed for unknown reasons.

But there is still a mysterious power left that can resurrect people.

"Past and present life, so this is how it is." Emperor Huang Tian sighed secretly as he looked at the scene before him.

"Where did Li Zhi go? Why didn't he appear here? The three of us were squeezed out of the original ancient history by his 'pen and ink', and the place where we were resurrected was here. Then where should he be?" Chu Feng saw through the entire world of nothingness at a glance. Except for the three of them, there was no other trace of life here.

"Could it be the same as the patient? After being wiped out by the three of us, it completely turned into nothingness?"

Back then, they wiped out a trace of the patient's soul, leaving no trace of him in the world. Now that Li Zhi has been wiped out by them, I think the situation is similar.

"I'm afraid we can't go back for the time being. Why not let this world revive?" Emperor Huang Tian was the most prudent and proposed directly.

"I think it's okay." Ye Fan nodded in agreement with Emperor Huang Tian's suggestion.

Then, the three Heavenly Emperors began to cast spells, trying to turn the entire land of nothingness into reality.

However, things did not develop as they thought.

After exhausting all his magic power, he was only able to summon a mysterious cemetery from nothingness.

However, for them, having a cemetery as a starting point is enough.

When they walked from nothingness to the cemetery, they all had a special feeling.

It was like traveling through the primordial universe, condensing the mysteries of heaven and earth, getting rid of the six reincarnations, and experiencing the turmoil of heaven and earth...

When they set foot in the cemetery, they were immediately attracted by the tall snow maple trees in front of them. They seemed to be the spiritual energy of gods and demons, appearing in rows outside the cemetery, like a living wall of gods and demons.

The lush green branches and leaves sway gently in the breeze, as if reminiscing about the glory of the past. The snow-white petals are pure and white, floating in the air like snowflakes, like the tears of gods, telling the sorrow of the past.

The air is filled with fairy air, spreading over every inch of the cemetery like holy light, and exotic flowers and plants are everywhere. If it weren't for the tall tombstones, it would seem as if one has come to the back garden of the Emperor of Heaven.

However, Huang, Ye and Chu were not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

Instead, he walked towards the tall tombstones.

"The tomb of the Eastern Martial God Zhan Wuji." Chu Feng stood in front of a tombstone and after analyzing it for a moment, he recognized the words on it.

"Isn't the Zhan Clan a powerful clan in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths? How come their ancestors are here?" Ye Fan also asked in confusion.

The War Emperor clan was once an important group under the command of Emperor Huangtian, and was on par with the Celestial Clan.

"The tomb of Caesar, the Western God of War? Who is Caesar? Why have I never heard of him?" Chu Feng looked at a tall tombstone next to him.

"Why is there the name Caesar here? Is there a connection between this place and our world?" There was a hint of doubt in Ye Fan's eyes. Caesar was a mythical figure on Earth, but he actually appeared in this cemetery.

The tomb of the Eastern immortal cultivator Peony Fairy, the tomb of the Western goddess of wisdom Venus, the tomb of the Eastern martial immortal Li Changfeng, the tomb of the Eastern magic cultivator Ao Cangtian, the tomb of the Western great devil Lucifer...

Then, they saw one strange tomb of gods after another.

"What exactly is this place and how does it connect to the undertaker?" Chu Feng asked.

But Emperor Huang Tian said nothing. After passing by one tall tombstone after another, he stopped in front of a low grave.

Compared with other magnificent tombs of gods and demons, this small tomb not only has no tombstone, but even the burial mound is almost level with the ground.

However, there was a strange small pit on the mound, which looked like the trace left by someone who had crawled out of the grave.

Faintly, Emperor Huang Tian saw a completely rotten wooden tombstone in the land in front of the tomb. He also found the word "Chen Nan" which was slightly different in color from the surrounding soil.

"So your name is Chen Nan."

There was a hint of enlightenment in Emperor Huang Tian's eyes.

But soon, he began to talk to himself, saying: "Since Chen Nan exists, then who is Chen Bei, and who is Chen Xi? Is there another person named Chen Dong?"

"Chenxi? Why does it sound like a girl's name, and a beautiful girl's name at that." After hearing Emperor Huang Tian's whisper, Ye Fan also showed curiosity.

Although the three emperors each had many beloved women, Emperor Ye had the most and was the most romantic. He was also the most sensitive to girls' names and directly heard "Chenxi" as "Chenxi".

"Why do I feel a sense of oppression from this name? I vaguely want to worship him?" Chu Feng also came to the low grave.

After thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, it's the feeling of facing the Human King. This name has a hint of the Human King's aura."

Then, Chu Feng asked again: "By the way, where did you see the name Chenxi? I ​​just visited the Cemetery of Gods and Demons, and I didn't see Chenxi's name on any tombstone."

"What are you talking about?" Chu Feng's question brought Emperor Huang Tian back to reality from his thoughts. He looked at Ye Fan and Chu Feng with some confusion.

"Aren't you discussing Wang Chenxi?" Chu Feng said.

"Human King Chenxi? Who is he?" Emperor Huang Tian looked left and right, as if he wanted to see the tombstone of the Human King in the Cemetery of Gods and Demons.

"I just heard the word 'Chenxi' from your mouth. Did I hear it wrong?" Ye Fan also realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.

"The gods are dead, the demons are destroyed, but that senior is alive. This is probably where he was resurrected." Then, Emperor Huang Tian explained to Ye Fan and Chu Feng the origin of this small tomb.

"What, that senior is actually an undertaker?" Chu Feng asked in surprise.

"No, he is not a undertaker. This Cemetery of Gods and Demons seems to have been built specifically for him." Ye Fan, who is proficient in source arts, instantly noticed the difference in the layout of the Cemetery of Gods and Demons.

One of the centers of the Tai Chi diagram they had seen before was right at the location of this low grave.

Afterwards, the three Heavenly Emperors worked together to deduce the situation.

Faintly, they saw a pale hand emerging from the soil, and then a pale young man crawled out of the small grave and said to himself in front of the tombstones: "The gods are dead, the devils are destroyed, but I am still alive."

However, when they wanted to see more pictures, they found a huge pressure that prevented them from continuing.

It seemed that an inexplicable force prevented them from exploring Chen Nan's past.

"Chen Dong? Could it be that he was the one who drew these isolated scrolls of ancient history?"

Suddenly, Emperor Huang Tian remembered the few names he had just said subconsciously.

Chenxi, Chenbei, Chendong.

Among the three names, only "Chen Dong" gave him the most special feeling, as if he was the most unpredictable existence, who could even decide their life and death at will.

Afterwards, Emperor Huang Tian built a mud altar on the small grave.

"Brother Huang, what are you doing?" Chu Feng and Ye Fan asked curiously.

Emperor Huang Tian did not tell them the answer, but chanted the soul-calling scriptures directly in front of the altar.

"Soul, come back!"

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the holy air in the Cemetery of Gods and Demons suddenly changed, and countless mysterious shadows emerged from the tombs.

A huge Tai Chi diagram of gods and demons appeared above the cemetery.

Both vitality and death were mobilized at this moment.

Finally, a special seed appeared on the altar, like a perfect world, or a perfect Tao seed.

When all the strange phenomena disappeared, the seed began to take root and sprout, and eventually grew into a young man who was very familiar to the three Heavenly Emperors.

"It's you!"

Chu Feng and Ye Fan looked at the patient on the altar with great surprise.

Emperor Huang Tian bowed slightly to him and said, "I had no choice but to summon you here. I didn't mean to disturb you from your deep sleep."

"I am back again."

The man standing on the altar glanced at the familiar cemetery of gods and demons, and a trace of reminiscence appeared on his face.

Then he said, "You shouldn't have let me come back here."

"May I ask, Senior, is your illness and disappearance related to 'Chen Dong'?" Emperor Huang Tian asked directly.

"I was right about you. You have also cultivated to that level. Yes, everything is controlled by 'Chen Dong'. It's not that I am sick, but he is sick, so I am sick, but it also shapes your brilliant life. It can be said that your illness is not unfair." The patient said lightly.

"It is indeed so." Emperor Huang Tian seemed to have accepted the reality.

Then, he asked, "Senior, can you tell me if Li Zhi is the same as us?"

"No, he is different. His fate is controlled by another being. Even I cannot change his destiny." The patient shook his head.

"Then do you know where he is now?" Emperor Huang Tian asked again.

"It is in the ancient history that does not include you." said the patient.

After saying this, the sick man's figure dissipated on its own, and eventually turned into a monstrous aura of death and vitality, as if repaying the cause and effect borrowed from those tombs of gods and demons.

"What were you talking about just now? Why don't I understand a bit?" Chu Feng's face was full of confusion.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Fan said, "I think I understand."

At this moment, Chu Feng felt like he was being treated like a child again.

Just like back then, the change in the ending was not caused by him, and now he has been left aside again.

"It's time to go back." Emperor Huang Tian nodded at Ye Fan and Chu Feng, and then said.

But Chu Feng still looked confused.

Hasn’t this been tried before and there’s no going back?

How can I go back again?
At the same time, in the vast universe, within all the heavens and worlds.

Li Zhi floated in the world like a ghost, overlooking the entire ancient history scroll that evolved according to his wishes, and his heart was filled with pride.

But after the pride, there was a sense of emptiness, as if there was no sense of accomplishment.

"Forget it, Mo Dan and the others have dispersed. I don't belong here after all."

After saying this, his gaze seemed to travel through the vast universe and locked onto two siblings holding hands in this world.

The older brother is a boy, only about seven or eight years old, and the younger sister is a girl, only about three or four years old.

They grow up happily in this world, but they never grow up.

"Brother, I want that mask."

The younger sister suddenly stopped and looked at the mask vendor on the street and pulled her brother and said.

The brother rubbed his sister's head, took out the only copper coin he had left, and bought his sister a mask with a crying and laughing ghost face.

The little girl wearing a ghost mask kept giggling, as if this was the happiest moment of her life.

Li Zhi, who saw this scene, murmured to himself: "The empress's ties are in the mortal world, so where are my ties?"

The ghostly Li Zhi, like ink diluted by clear water, slowly began to fade and eventually disappeared without a trace.
