Chapter 712 - The Blood-stained Stele, Metamorphosis of the Backyard
Chapter 712: The Blood-stained Stele, Metamorphosis of the Backyard
Under the gaze of all the beings of God’s Domain, the old man’s body slowly floated into the sky and was bathed in the light of the Origins. His body began to turn into starlight before finally, it dissipated.
The power of a Heavenly Realm fighter could open up a small world, and the power of a Wisdom Elite was far more powerful than a Heavenly Realm fighter. This old man was a second step Wisdom Elite and he voluntarily dedicated everything he had, allowing the Origins of the fifth dimension to birth countless star regions and new worlds, one after another.
Wind, fire, thunder, and lightning. Mountains, rivers, lakes, birds, and beasts… One little world after another appeared, rejuvenating the fifth dimension. With his power, the old man could have lived out another life even if his body had perished. As long as his Origins of Life was kept intact, he could be reborn again and again. However, he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself, choosing instead to give himself to the fifth dimension to cut short the time it would take for the dimension to rebuild itself.
The black-haired young man’s eyes were red and tears were streaming down his cheeks. He got on his knees and said loudly, “Thank you, Sir! Godspeed!”
The other beings also knelt and said in unison, “Godspeed, Sir! May you rest in peace.”
Lord Angel was also filled with emotions watching the old man’s departure. In the end, the old man’s Origins of Life turned into a twinkling light before finally disappearing without a trace. No, there were still traces, the new worlds!
War Angel was in awe. “It’s amazing how he could selflessly give up everything, especially for someone at his cultivation level. What an inspiring old man!”
The old man had done the impossible, for there was a saying ‘The more a person achieves, the harder it is to give up’. It was like a person who finally became the richest person in the world was asked to voluntarily give away all his money. Obviously, the person would say no.
“If it wasn’t for the Origins of the Dimension, the world would not have fallen to this point.” Lord Angel sighed softly. He could not help but think about when the stories of the power of the Origins began to spread in the seven dimensions.
First, the Eldritchs plundered all dimensions. Then, the seven dimensions plundered each other. The third dimension was even annihilated as a result, creating countless deaths. Even the Wisdom Elites joined in…to the extent that they even began to plunder the Origins of their own dimensions with no thought about the dimension’s destruction!
Madness! Pure madness! Would there still be so many catastrophes if no one knew about the Origins of the Dimensions?
Lord Angel’s face suddenly twitched, and he heard the voice from the old man at the end of his dissipation. “The Origins of the seven dimensions are cursed and will bring many more catastrophes!”
Lord Angel’s pupils shrank rapidly and his heart went cold. He could sense a conspiracy behind all this. ‘Someone’s deliberately spreading the stories about the Origins to fan the flames of catastrophe! Could it be the Eldritchs? No, they’re only a pawn in their game.’ Thinking of this, he quietly collected the feathers of the other angels. ‘It seems there’s more than meets the eyes. Fortunately, the Angel Clan has the expert to depend on. I better butter him up.’
“Alina, quickly organize the second feather competition once you’re back at the palace. This time, we’ll choose fifty angels.”
“Yes, father,” said War Angel with a serious nod.
Then, they did not remain in the fifth dimension but immediately headed back. They dared not even think about plundering the Origins of the fifth dimension after what had happened with the willow branch and what the old man said about the Battle Spirit Guardians.
Meanwhile, in the first dimension, somewhere in the deepest part of where the Eldritch Clan was, was a stele with a blood-red word etched on it—suppress!
In the corner of the stele, there was blood overflowing from it! It was fresh blood, not bloodstains! It seemed that some kind of existence had been left on the stele, ensuring that the blood never dried up. There was a possibility that the stele itself was bleeding!
Suddenly, a tyrannical aura rose from the stele, full of unwillingness with the pressure of destruction. The stele vibrated, and it seemed as if it wanted to break out of the ground! A dark-gray fog surrounded it, making it look extremely strange and creepy.
“Just a little bit more! Just a little bit more and the fifth dimension would’ve been annihilated! Argh! The fifth dimension’s Origins already showed itself! Why did it shrink back? It’s that damn aura again. After so many years, why has it reappeared? How could they still be alive?! So what if you came back to life? I’ll just kill you all again! Hahaha…”
A figure emerged next to the stele. This figure seemed to travel through time and space, appearing without warning and possessing a power that could override everything. Even the master of the Blood Clan who had entered the third-step Wisdom Elite was like a drop of water in his ocean of power.
He was the ancestor of the Eldritch, Guhui.
“What’s wrong?” His divine consciousness began to communicate with the stele.
It was with the help of this stele that he discovered the secrets of the seven dimensions. It also helped him find a way to become the most powerful being in the first dimension, so powerful that he could suppress, plunder, and refine the Origins of the first dimension.
“The Origins of the fifth dimension had shown itself and was about to be annihilated. However, it was saved at the last minute,” said the stele.
“Saved?” Guhui’s face sank and a look of frustration appeared on his face. “Who the hell was it?”
It was not easy to make the Origins of a dimension manifest. Now that the Origins of the third dimension was broken, many of the Eldritchs were plundering it as they speak. This had brought them great benefits. If the Origins of the fifth dimension was also broken, a portal would open and the Eldritchs would be able to cross over to plunder the Origins there. Then, he alone would have the power of several dimensions and his strength would definitely reach a height that even he could not imagine.
“It’s all because your men are bad at doing their job! It’s been so long and they haven’t even managed to open up all the portals to all the other dimensions! We could’ve gotten the Origins of the fifth dimension quickly if they did the job correctly!” said the stele angrily.
“Recently, news came from the seventh dimension that drastic changes have taken place. My men went there and never returned, so the focus is on entering the seventh dimension,” explained Guhui.
“I don’t care what you do. I might as well tell you one more thing. You’ll be able to leave the first dimension if you can refine the Origins of three dimensions,” said the stele in a low and cold voice.
“What?” This was a huge secret indeed. Guhui’s heart shook wildly and there was ecstasy in his eyes. He suppressed the Origins of the first dimension but at the same time, he was restricted and unable to leave the first dimension. Now, he had the Origins of the first and third dimensions. He would need the Origins of just one more dimension to leave this place.
“One more dimension! Just one more dimension!” He was very excited. “I’ll personally do everything possible so we can plunder the Origins of the other dimensions sooner. I’ll become the overlord of all dimensions once I have all the Origins in hand. At that time, I’ll definitely enter an unprecedented realm which I’ll name after me, the Guhui Realm!”
His eyes were bright as if he was already seeing the suppression of all the seven dimensions before his eyes. Then, his body slowly disappeared, hiding in time and space. Only the stele was left, ever shrouded in the dark gray fog.
Meanwhile, in the third dimension, the Origins were still flowing even if the dimension was already fragmented. All the beings, flowers, plants, and trees were all dead. Here, there were skilled fighters from many dimensions, wandering in infinite chaos for countless years, looking for fragmented Origins they might have missed.
On this day, a small team entered a dense starfield. They randomly landed on one of the stars and walked aimlessly on the desolate earth. Initially, they did not expect to find anything, but when they inadvertently looked across the land, their pupils suddenly shrank. Just a hundred yards away, there was a huge plant.
In this decayed third dimension, all living things were annihilated, making a surviving plant a very extraordinary sight indeed. Everyone’s hearts jumped at the same time before they walked over quickly. Soon, they arrived at the stem of the plant.
It was an unknown tree that had been chopped off. On the soil, only the broken trunk was left. The surface was scorched and it was obvious that the plant had been struck down by a terrifying divine thunderbolt. The whole tree had no signs of life and its bark was already all dried up.
“What’s the origin of this tree? Why is it here?”
“None of us can sense this tree with our divine consciousness even though so many skilled fighters are here. It’s out of pure luck that we discovered it here with our own eyes.”
“Countless years have passed, but the thunderous aura coming from it can still make my blood run cold.”
“The background of this tree must be unimaginably powerful.”
Everyone was horrified. Many Wisdom Elites had gone to the third dimension and some of them were even second-step Wisdom Elites. However, no one had found this broken tree, which was enough proof of its extraordinariness.
A member of the team could not help but reach out toward the broken tree. Someone shouted for him to stop, but it was too late. When the person touched the tree, a layer of dust fell off and drifted up with the wind. It then enveloped everyone in a dusty fog.
“Fall back! Fall back, now!” This group of people had been roaming in the third dimension for a long time. After countless close encounters with death, they developed an extremely keen awareness of danger. Immediately, they all retreated together!
However, this gray fog was extremely strange. It seemed as if its speed was not that fast, but it was able to stick onto everyone. There was no gap between their distance at all and the person who first touched the broken tree stood in his spot while layers of white fur quickly grew out of him. Everyone was horrified by what they saw.
“This gray fog’s full of unknowns. We cannot let it contaminate us!”
“Run! Run, I say!”
“What happened in the third dimension that made it so broken? There’s definitely a shocking secret hiding behind all this!”
In a blink of an eye, three days passed quietly. In the backyard of the four-part architecture, Li Nianfan, Nanan, and the others wrapped their mouths and noses with towels to shield themselves from the smelly odor in the air.
In the middle of the field, Jiang Liu was holding a dung ladle and was hard at work fertilizing the field. The work of spreading manure was an unsightly job. Therefore, Li Nianfan could not let Little Daji and the other girls do it. Of course, he himself would not do it so he thought of asking Jiang Liu to do it.
Jiang Liu agreed without hesitation and started to work happily and earnestly with dedication. Li Nianfan had no idea how shocked Jiang Liu was and it was not only him. Daji and the others were feeling more and more shocked by the day.
With the fertilization, they could feel that the entire backyard was undergoing earth-shaking changes! After fertilization, the aura of the land improved drastically, and there was a feeling that the land was going to break through beyond the ranks of Chaos Spiritual Soil. Within the soil was Wisdom aura which was evolving and becoming Wisdom Spiritual Soil!
At the same time, all the plants that were growing there had also been promoted. A strange force surrounded them as Wisdom appeared, seemingly to celebrate their growth. Therefore, although the air was filled with the foul smell of manure, they could also sense a Spiritual Qi more powerful than Chaos Spiritual Qi.
Even the Wisdom aura became extremely rich as the Power of Wisdom drifted around in the entire backyard. In this entire backyard, the Chaos Spiritual Qi had become a low-end existence, while the Wisdom aura flooded in to nurture the Origins. There was no doubt about it. The whole backyard was evolving and going through a metamorphosis.
‘So, this is what the expert meant when he said fertilization could increase the nutrients in the soil. However… The effect’s so shocking! This is an unimaginable new world! I have to thank the expert for giving me this opportunity to play a part in creating a new world by spreading manure. What an honor it is! The people in the Heavenly Palace will die of jealousy if they know about this! I, Jiang Liu, will go down in history as the person who spread manure for the expert.’
Jiang Liu’s heart trembled wildly and his excitement was beyond him. What more, he felt that the strength he had gained by spreading manure recently grew much faster than his own cultivation. This made him work even harder.
Li Nianfan focused on the crops in the backyard. After fertilizing them, the condition of the crops had improved a lot, but…not completely. He checked their condition carefully and the frown on his face became deeper and deeper. “It’s been days and yet, the condition doesn’t seem to be improving much.”
“Brother Li, do you think it’s because the quality of the manure isn’t that good? Should I go and teach those wild game animals a lesson?” asked Nanan.
Li Nianfan shook his head. “It has nothing to do with them. It’s still the issue with the nutrients. The nutrients in the fertilizer are still not enough, but how can this be? Why do they suddenly lack so much nutrition?” He was at a loss and he did not know what to do. He could not find any negative factors affecting the plants’ growth. Moreover, he deliberately made good food for the game animals, but it was still not enough.
‘How can they consume so much nutrients? Are they planning to grow up to the heavens?’ Even the willow tree by the pond looked limp now that its leaves had lost their luster.
Daji and the others were slightly surprised and shocked. How could the expert still be dissatisfied with the backyard? How much of an upgrade was he looking for? Was he planning to create Origins? No way!
“Master, is there anything else we can do?” Daji asked with concern.
“The most effective way is to find more nutritious fertilizer,” said Li Nianfan casually.
