398: Change the form and live!

Rumble, rumble—

The Secret Realm trembled continuously, the Void Realm shook violently, and the Will of the Literary Sage grew increasingly tall and vast.

Chu Mo and the others also moved further and further away.

The Will of the Literary Sage held the shattered Secret Realm in his palm, directly facing the giant eyeball in the Void Realm.

At this moment, the Will of the Literary Sage was incredibly massive; an entire continent was smaller than his palm.

Inside the Secret Realm in his palm.

Chu Mo slowly opened his eyes.

He had woken up.

His Natal Character had also successfully condensed.

However, the Natal Character was not the character ' sky' (Heaven) that he had intended to condense, but rather ' people' (Human).

The Human Race's 'Human'!

The Will of the Literary Sage stood in the Void Realm, with a halo symbolizing wisdom, radiating endless light behind him.

“The Human Race is not as weak as you perceive! Although two eras were destroyed by the Heavenly Dao, each time they inflicted no small amount of damage upon the Heavenly Dao! This is a feat that no other living being has ever achieved!”

Damaging the Heavenly Dao... Chu Mo's heart pounded.

The Human Race being able to harm the Heavenly Dao was truly incredible!

“A long, long time ago, everything in this world had a fixed destiny. All living beings lived according to the fate trajectories planned for them by the Heavenly Dao; they lived like Puppets.”

“The rise and fall of races, the life and death of individuals, the thoughts of all beings, and all their actions were arranged by the Heavenly Dao!”

“Until humans appeared. They emerged in this world, living according to the fate trajectories laid out for them by the Heavenly Dao.”

“But humans are not rocks, not waves, nor are they Puppets; they possess their own thoughts.”

“They wish to be with their loved ones, they wish to live the life they desire through their own sweat and effort, they do not wish for conflict, only a stable life. But the Heavenly Dao does not permit it; He had already planned the fate trajectories of all living beings, and He would not allow, nor could He tolerate, anyone exceeding His control.”

“And when countless people are confined by the shackles upon them, someone will wish to break free from those shackles...”

The Will of the Literary Sage burned his Origin, unfolding his Dao, and endless brilliance erupted.

A sword cry rang out.

A melody emanated from the River of Time and Space.

Suddenly, the River of Time and Space vibrated, and countless golden lights traversed endless time and space, converging. The golden light surged like a tide, and an ancient sword gradually solidified.

This was the Human Emperor's Sword!

It was a Sacred Artifact of the Human Dao, forged during the Human Emperor's era by the supreme Human Emperor using the Human Race's Luck as its foundation.

The sword's body was inscribed with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and vegetation, and its hilt bore the arts of agriculture and animal husbandry, and the strategy of unifying the four seas, containing infinite power of the Human Dao.

The moment this sword appeared, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment clearly showed a ripple.

The Human Emperor's Sword, in the Human Emperor's era, the Human Emperor wielded this sword, carrying the Luck of the Human Dao, to contend with the Heavenly Dao.

Although the Human Emperor was defeated and the Human Emperor's Sword shattered, the Human Dao thereafter gained a materialized form, just like the Heavenly Dao's Will.

Currently, this Human Emperor's Sword is a manifestation of the Human Dao's Will.

It came from the River of Time and Space, gathering the Luck of the Human Dao to condense into a sword.

After sacrificing the burning of his own Origin to summon the Human Emperor's Sword, his body had already begun to dissipate.

“My time is running out. Next, I will use my last Origin power to send you all away from here!”

With that said.

His still-undissipated Will, carrying the shattered Secret Realm, shot towards the depths of the Void Realm.

Next.

This place would become the battlefield of the Human Dao and the Heavenly Dao; ordinary people simply could not intervene in the battle here... The shattered Secret Realm carried the crowd, passing through layers of the Void Realm, and halfway through, countless people were thrown out by the shattered Secret Realm.

Until the very end, only Chu Mo's group traversed the endless Void Realm, finally returning safely to the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty in Misty Immortal Domain.

“Master!” Seeing the Will of the Literary Sage's body gradually becoming transparent, Fei Cai couldn't help but shed a few tears.

“No need to mind! This was always my fate!” The Will of the Literary Sage was very open-minded, not feeling afraid because he was about to completely vanish from the world, but rather a sense of relief and liberation.

However, he then looked down at the shattered Secret Realm held in his palm and sighed heavily.

“Alas!”

“Ultimately, I have implicated you all!”

This Secret Realm was created by him, and it existed because of his Will; once his Will completely dissipated, the Secret Realm would completely disintegrate.

The lingering thoughts that existed by relying on the Secret Realm would also dissipate with it.

“Sage of Literature, if you can be so open-minded, what do we have to be closed-minded about?! We, like you, were meant to dissipate between Heaven and Earth. To have lingered for so long is already more than enough!

Moreover, before we disappear, we even read an incredibly exciting story! It's just a pity that the story hasn't ended yet, and we won't be able to see the ending later!”

From within the shattered Secret Realm came Su Jiu's voice, carrying a hint of relief and a touch of reluctance.

The relief was for life and death.

The reluctance was for not having finished the story.

“Good stories all tell the same thing; the continuation of this story will be just like what we've seen before.”

The Will of the Literary Sage stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the rising sun on the horizon.

The old sun had already set.

A new sun would eventually rise.

It's just that before the new sun rises, a long period of darkness still needs to be experienced.

He saw Chu Mo off to the side.

This, perhaps, would be a new sun... probably, maybe, possibly...

“That... Sage of Literature, why don't you try to integrate yourself into my Natal Character? And they, along with the Secret Realm, enter the Character Secret Realm I've opened with my Natal Character?”

Just as everyone was plunged into sorrow, a familiar voice, like a bowling ball smashing through a neighbor's window, made everyone look over in unison.

Even the Will of the Literary Sage was no exception.

A faint light shone from Chu Mo's brow, and a small character ' people' (Human) appeared on his forehead.

“Senior Sage of Literature, your Will has not yet completely dissipated; you can totally enter my Natal Character...”

Instantly, the Will of the Literary Sage's expression became incredibly strange, “I've seen this fellow's life story, and I know what kind of person you are. You want me to integrate into your Natal Character; are you not trying to absorb my last Dao Rhyme?”

“Senior, please don't say that!”

Chu Mo activated his Natal Character, completely enveloping the Will of the Literary Sage, and forcibly pulled him into it.

“I am from the prestigious and Righteous Path Xuanxiao Sect, my Senior Brother is the leader of the Righteous Path, and I am also considered a righteous person. How could I do such a morally corrupt thing? I am truly thinking of you!”

“Senior Sage of Literature, you wouldn't want to see these lingering thoughts in the Secret Realm disappear, would you!”

The Will of the Literary Sage: “...”

Chu Mo's actions, from the moment he entered the Secret Realm he created, were reflected by him and compiled into a biographical novel.

Combining the various stories in the biography, he knew exactly what kind of person Chu Mo was.

Plus, now, he wasn't even pretending anymore.

“As long as a person lives, they must do something, and Senior has dedicated his entire life to the Human Race. Now, a human stands before you, and you are about to dissipate between Heaven and Earth, so why can't you see through it?! Besides, I'm not truly refining you! I'm allowing you to continue existing in the world in another form...”
