The girl shook her head and said, “After I gave birth to the twelve Sorcerer Ancestors, it took countless years for them to give birth to their own bloodlines, finally making the age of chaos lively. As for the Heavenly Dao, it was the sum of the non-living creatures born in the most prosperous and glorious moment in the age of chaos.”
“Non-living creatures?”
Su Ping narrowed his eyes.
“The Heavenly Dao was something born by the combination of all living creatures’ thoughts and emotions, along with the power of the chaos universe. They’re objects that transcend the concept of life. They have all the characteristics of living creatures, but they’re not alive. So, they’re indestructible!”
The girl continued, “They would respawn even if they were erased. They healed and mutated at a very fast pace. They absorbed most of the power in the world of chaos in a very short amount of time and reached a shocking level.”
!!That was the first time for Su Ping to learn about the origin of the Heavenly Dao. He couldn’t help but feel surprised and puzzled. “Is there a way to finish off the Heavenly Dao? If they can’t be destroyed, aren’t they invincible?”
The girl slightly shook her head and said, “They’re not invincible. If they’re destroyed a billion times and the power of chaos in their bodies is scattered, they will return to their most primitive form. By then, they can easily be erased, imprisoned and sealed. There are countless ways to finish them off.”
“So, the real problem is how to destroy them a billion times, right?” Su Ping found the matter tricky the moment he heard the number. “So, you can’t take care of the problem either, right?”
“That is correct.”
The girl stared at Su Ping and said, “When I woke up, the Heavenly Dao had nearly destroyed the entire world of chaos. My power was deeply connected to the world, so I was heavily wounded too, and I couldn’t compete with the Heavenly Dao.”
“So, you chose to raise an heir?” asked Su Ping, “Your two previous hosts were the candidates you picked, right?”
The girl nodded. “Yes. You are the third.”
Su Ping heaved a sigh and said, “I’m not dead yet. It seems that we’re both very lucky.”
“I hope we can finish everything once and for all this time.” A thoughtful light flashed in the girl’s eyes. “We don’t have a lot of time, nor chances for this.”
“Me neither.”
Su Ping sighed softly. He was both shocked and relieved after learning the system’s real identity.
He once asked the system if it could finish off the Heavenly Dao. The answer he received was no, and the girl was still saying no.
It made sense. If she could, she would have done so long before.
“You’re slightly different from the time you acted like the system,” said Su Ping, “I’m not talking about the appearance.”
The girl nodded and said, “I had previously sealed part of my power and I recovered while I was sleeping. I would only wake up until you upgraded the store to level 9. This is the bed of chaos where I slept.”
“Can money really be converted into the so-called energy points?” Su Ping looked at her in surprise.
“Of course not.”
The girl said, “The store was only meant to train you in different phases. After following the instructions all the way to the last upgrade, that would mean that you would have grown up and it would be the time for me to wake up and lead you to deal with the lingering crisis that has existed since the age of chaos.”
Su Ping realized that the store was just a greenhouse where he was nurtured.
It didn’t matter whether he could make money or not. What mattered was that he had to get stronger.
“So to speak, the store is just a shell where you slept and waited for me to grow, and the system was just a subconscious thought you set up before you fell asleep?” Su Ping speculated.
“More or less,” the girl said.
“Earlier you said that the Chaotic Realm of the Undead I saw wasn’t real. What did you mean by that?” Su Ping asked.
The girl gazed at Su Ping and said, “It’s time for you to know everything. None of the cultivation sites you saw were real.”
Su Ping trembled and slightly changed his expression. “What do you mean? They were all fake? Illusions? Impossible…”
He didn’t believe that the people he saw in those cultivation sites, with their furious, earnest or sorrowful eyes, were fake!
Su Ping stared at her and said solemnly, “Even if you’re the Mother of Chaos, I believe that everything I’ve been through is real. It couldn’t be an illusion made by you!”
The girl gazed at Su Ping and replied, “Your experiences were indeed real, but those cultivation sites are not. Or rather, they were real, but they’re already gone now.”
“Gone…”
Su Ping was stunned.
The girl heaved a soft sigh. “Back in the age of chaos, some of the twelve Sorcerer Ancestors had already died when I woke up, and my power was robbed from me. I couldn’t fight the Heavenly Dao; I could only retreat.
“After that, the world of chaos collapsed into billions of universes.
“Different lives were born in those universes. They were the cultivation sites you visited.
“Some Sorcerer Ancestors established universes of their own. Others reigned over some universes. Some of my children’s corpses were transformed into universes.”
The girl stared at Su Ping and added, “The world of gods and the world of deities followed the ancient age. The age of the Archean Divinity came after the age of chaos, when the cyborgs and many other species coexisted. Once the Archean Divinity was destroyed by the Heavenly Dao, deities were born…
“There were also millions of universes in the age of deities, and different species survived after the age of gods ended. But they were eventually destroyed in the third war.”
Su Ping listened to her in a daze, feeling that everything inside his head was turned upside down. However, he learned many things he was unaware of.
“So… The cultivation sites that I’ve visited… aren’t in the same timeline.” Su Ping was stunned.
He had more or less noticed it, but for some reason, he neglected the fact.
“That’s right,” said the girl, “They are the survivors of the great wars. If you go to the Golden Crows’ world and ask them about the Archean Divinity, they wouldn’t know a thing, because the Archean Divinity didn’t exist in their era.
“The Archean Divinity originated from the ancestor of the Primitive Chaos Clan, whose body turned into three pieces. One was the Archean Divinity, the second part was the Chaotic Realm of the Undead, and the last was hidden.
“The Archean Divinity and the Chaotic Realm of the Undead existed in the same age and were destroyed together. I found the last piece and transformed it into the world of deities. I hope that he could be reborn, which could take billions of years, but it never happened.”
There was a hint of sadness in the girl’s eyes as she spoke.
Although she didn’t elaborate on the matter, Su Ping could imagine that countless excellent stories that took place since the age of chaos actually had the Mother of Chaos behind them.
“I saw how chaos fell to pieces. I tried to gather the power once more to resist the Heavenly Dao. So, I found the first candidate and raised him all the way to the Undying State. I gave him Sorcerer Ancestor Xuan Qi’s Chaos Qualification, so he could turn into a new Sorcerer Ancestor.
“That was the first battle against the Heavenly Dao that I prepared…” Light flashed in the girl’s eyes. Countless species seemed to be flashing by as she recalled, but all of them collapsed.
“I failed in the end.”
She whispered, “In that battle, the Original Dragons’ ancestor was suppressed and absorbed by the Heavenly Dao. Hun Yu also surrendered and became their puppet…”
Su Ping was stunned.
The Original Dragons’ ancestor was suppressed and absorbed?
He remembered the enormous ancestral dragon, whose eyes were as big as planets. Its pressure was absolutely domineering… And yet, it was suppressed and absorbed by the Heavenly Dao?
To top it off, Sorcerer Ancestor Hun Yu, the one who chose to cover the retreat… surrendered to the Heavens in the end?
“Then, the things that I’ve experienced…”
“All of it happened before the war; they had already fought the Heavenly Dao before I organized them. Later on, they fought by my side,” said the girl, “Of all the cultivation sites you’ve visited, the chaos cultivation site was the only universe I ever constructed. You may consider it an illusory land, so it requires a lot of energy. This would obviously make the ticket fee much more expensive.”
