152: The Diary of Heaven?

"Eh, Gu Yuan, look quickly, words seem to be appearing on this book!"

At this moment, Xi Nian suddenly pointed to the book of heavenly judgment and said.

Hmm!?

When Gu Yuan and the others heard Xi Nian's words, they all looked toward the book of heavenly judgment.

Even Yun Qingci, who was behind Gu Yuan, looked over with some curiosity.

Just as Xi Nian said, words had begun to gradually appear on the first page of the book of heavenly judgment.

Oh ho... Gu Yuan blinked. This was quite magical... But why did it suddenly start producing text on its own?

Previously, what appeared on it was a verdict for himself, but what was appearing now... "Primordial Era, before heaven and earth were opened, I awakened from within Chaos. After being in a daze for countless eras, I finally recognized my true self..."

"Such a novel feeling... perhaps I should do something..."

Tian Mei watched the words appearing on the book of heavenly judgment and read them out word by word.

"Primal Era, Congenital Beings awakened their intelligence. Some brought disaster to their regions, while others ignored the Laws of heaven and earth, causing heaven and earth to collapse and the Laws to vanish. I transformed into the Heavenly Dao to restrain all living beings and command all spirits..."

"The Heavenly Dao is heartless and impartial. I have always upheld this path, making all spirits in the world strictly observe their original intentions; this is where my duty lies."

...As everyone listened to Tian Mei reading the words appearing on the book of heavenly judgment, waves of shock inevitably rose in their hearts.

"This, the words on this seem to be recording something. Could it be..."

Xi Nian frowned slightly and spoke softly; at this moment, she only felt that it was extremely inconceivable.

Gu Yuan followed with a nod, confirming her suspicion, and said in a heavy voice:

"Although I don't know exactly what happened, what is certain is that the words appearing on the book of heavenly judgment now record the birth and evolution of the Heavenly Dao!"

Hiss... Although each had their own conjectures, Gu Yuan's words still caused several people to suck in a breath of cold air.

At the same time, they were even more filled with curiosity toward this book of heavenly judgment.

This book... just what is its origin?

To be able to record the birth process of the Heavenly Dao... could it be that this is the Heavenly Dao's diary...?

Cough, of course, this was just a private thought in Gu Yuan's mind.

It probably wasn't possible... after all, that was the Heavenly Dao; how could it possibly use a diary.

"Continue reading, let's see what else this book records."

The group only discussed for a moment, and then Gu Yuan signaled Tian Mei to continue reading.

He was very curious about the content that followed!

Upon hearing this, Tian Mei also nodded gently, suppressing the shock in her heart.

After all, she also hadn't expected that this book was actually recording the birth of the Heavenly Dao.

"Endless years have passed, and I have completely merged into the Heavenly Dao, carrying out its philosophy. This duty, I shall carry out to the end."

"Desolate Ancient Era, Extraterritorial Evil Demons suddenly appeared. The opponent also seems to have some kind of existence similar to me, interesting..."

"The world's Cultivators rose up to fight back. Those existences that were once weak as ants can now actually stand up to protect their world. Truly peculiar..."

"Xia Gehuang... when did such a Cultivator appear in the world? It seems I have slept for too, too long..."

When Tian Mei read to this point, Gu Yuan and the others all let out a surprised 'Eh'.

"Gu Yuan, Sister Xia's name actually appeared in this book. Could it be that Sister Xia has known the Heavenly Dao for a long time?"

Xi Nian pulled on Gu Yuan's sleeve and asked with some curiosity.

Regarding Xia Gehuang, Xi Nian only knew she was an extremely powerful existence.

But she never expected to see a record regarding Xia Gehuang in this book.

And... it was even related to the Heavenly Dao... Only Gu Yuan was very close to Xia Gehuang among those present, so the girls all looked toward Gu Yuan.

As for Gu Yuan himself, he felt extremely astonished at this moment.

Sister Xia's existence was truly too Heaven-Defying... in his understanding of Sister Xia, he really had his worldview refreshed every single time.

Gu Yuan had speculated in his heart that Xia Gehuang and the Heavenly Dao had known each other for a long time.

But he never imagined that Sister Xia had already appeared during the Desolate Ancient Era.

No... Gu Yuan's brow suddenly furrowed slightly.

Was it possible that it wasn't just the Desolate Ancient Era, but that Sister Xia had already existed in even earlier eras?

From its birth until now, the Qihuang Continent has been divided into four eras, namely:

The Primordial Era, the Primal Era, the Desolate Ancient Era, and the Great Thousand Era.

The Primordial Era was the very beginning of this world's birth, when everything was chaotic and disordered.

That period was too distant; now, almost no one knows about the events of that time.

It was only now that the book of heavenly judgment had recorded a little bit, allowing Gu Yuan and the others a glimpse into that era.

It seemed now that the Primordial Era was the period when the Heavenly Dao was born.

And the subsequent Primal Era was when heaven and earth first opened, and various Congenital Beings emerged one after another.

That was likewise a quite distant period.

Furthermore, the Human Race had not yet been born at that time.

The Primal Era was a bizarre and motley period where various Congenital Beings, gods, and demons coexisted.

It could be said that any single Innate being or god-demon from that period would be an unimaginable existence if placed in the present.

As for the subsequent Desolate Ancient Era, there were relatively more records regarding that.

The most prominent events were the rise of Human Race Cultivators and the subsequent encounter with the Extraterritorial Evil Demons.

However, judging from the records in this book of heavenly judgment.

Up until the Desolate Ancient Era, the Heavenly Dao still upheld the philosophy of impartiality.

It would even confront that unknown existence of the Extraterritorial Evil Demons for the sake of all living beings.

This did not look like the current Heavenly Dao at all.

Just what happened in between to make the Heavenly Dao become its current self?

And the period Gu Yuan and the others were in was the Great Thousand Era.

This was an era where various races flourished, giving off quite a feeling of a prosperous age.

However, despite being in a prosperous age, some kind of unknown change had occurred in the current Heavenly Dao.

This was undoubtedly bad news.

Exactly because of what... Gu Yuan couldn't help but feel very puzzled.

Xia Gehuang... for some reason, images of Sister Xia suddenly flashed through Gu Yuan's mind.

She must know something!

Unfortunately, Sister Xia year-round maintained the image of a person of riddles; even if he went to ask her something, he probably wouldn't get an answer.

"Sister Xia... actually, I'm not too clear about Sister Xia's past either..."

Gu Yuan smiled somewhat helplessly.

If not for that accident, Gu Yuan would not have gone into the Eternal Night Demon Abyss, and it would have been even more impossible to get to know Xia Gehuang.

Hmm... hearing Gu Yuan's words, the girls were all somewhat surprised.

They had always thought that Gu Yuan and Xia Gehuang had a deep relationship, perhaps even being from the same lineage.

As it turned out, even Gu Yuan didn't know Xia Gehuang's past... "But what I can be certain of is that Sister Xia is definitely on our side!"

On this point, Gu Yuan was matchlessly certain.
