Chapter 723: Why Be So Irascible When We’re Living in Such a Wonderful World?
“The aura appeared again!”
“It’s filled with the unknown and it’s coming from that forbidden starfield!”
“So that’s where the rest of the third dimension’s Origins are hiding!”
The battle came to an abrupt end. Even the Crow King that rushed over did not have time to pay attention to Blackie and the others. It looked at the area solemnly.
Cultivator Junjun’s eyes narrowed slightly and he said in horror, “What a weird aura. It makes me very anxious. I’m afraid I can’t avoid it!”
“This aura’s definitely not a good thing. It’s not only full of the unknown but also full of extremely powerful destructive force.” Yang Jing opened his third eye and a stream of light shot out. He could see through the Heavens and worlds but not through the mist. In fact, trying to see through the mist made his eyes sore. “There’s definitely something powerful over there!” he said with shock.
Shi Tuqin frowned slightly and said, “Don’t you think that’s weird? That there’s a large amount of the third dimension’s Origins suddenly overflowing there. What could it possibly mean?”
“It means that the destruction of the third dimension is probably related to this aura, and the Origins are suppressed in it,” said Qin Manyun thoughtfully.
“What should we do, Crow King?” asked a member of the Chaos Three-legged Crow clan.
“We’ll focus on the Origins first since some changes have occurred. These people should count themselves lucky. Let them go and we’ll go check out the place.” The Crow King glanced at Blackie and the others contemptuously and then with a flash, it was already heading toward the aura with its clan members.
The other people of the third dimension did the same. They did not take Blackie and others to heart and flew towards the aura one after another.
In the distance, Gu Ai smiled and said, “Hehe, it’s finally over.”
Gu Debai was originally full of doubts about the aura. He was shocked when he heard the words, and asked, “This aura’s the work of the Eldritch clan?”
“Yes, it’s the strongest setup of our clan, and it’s also the oldest in existence in all of the seven dimensions!” said Gu Ai profoundly.
“The oldest existence?!” Gu Debai and Gu Lie were shocked. The seven dimensions had been in existence for innumerable years. No one could say for sure just how long! Even the legends were scarce. No one knew for sure what the seven dimensions were like in the beginning.
“What is it exactly?” asked Gu Lie curiously.
“It calls itself ‘Heaven’, the ‘Heaven’ of all seven dimensions.”
It was named that because heaven symbolizes the peak! Therefore, when anyone reached a peak in one area, they would always call themselves ‘Heaven’. No one had ever seen ‘Heaven’ but everyone knew that they would have to turn up their face to gaze upon it. Then there was also the saying of punishment from heaven, heaven’s wrath, and so forth.
“Is it really the Heaven of all seven dimensions?” Gu Debai and Gu Lie’s hearts began to thump wildly as the blood in their veins sped up, making them tremble all over. This was indeed very shocking!
“The reason our clan could suppress the first dimension is that the Ancestor Eldritch met Heaven one day and received guidance from him,” said Gu Ai.
“Why would it help us? Isn’t it very powerful?” asked Gu Debai.
“The Ancestor Eldritch said that back then, the seven dimensions were one. Later on, however, a group of people defied Heaven and divided the dimension into seven parts with great magic power. They separated them from each other and the rest was history.” Gu Ai paused and continued, “And Heaven was also severely injured and sealed under the seven dimensions.”
This new secret knowledge set off a wave of a storm in the hearts of Gu Debai and Gu Lie. ‘I can’t believe something like this happened so long ago and those people were the ones who gave rise to the term ‘heaven-defying’.’
Gu Lie glanced at that unknown in horror and asked, “Will this Heaven turn against us?”
“Don’t worry, the Ancient Eldritch is more powerful than you and I could ever imagine. He’ll definitely replace Heaven one day,” said Gu Ai proudly.
“What does Heaven plan to do now?” asked Gu Debai.
Gu Ai laughed and said, “Many people have come here after they found out that the third dimension’s Origins had been shattered in hopes of getting their hands on it. Don’t you think it would save us a lot of trouble to capture them all in one go now that they’ve been lured here? Even a second-step Wisdom Elite wouldn’t be able to win against a part of Heaven’s aura. We just need to sit tight and watch.”
All the eyes of the Eldritch clan flashed and smiles broke out of their faces.
“Brilliant! Truly brilliant!” said Gu Debai.
Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Palace, after lots of investigation, Yang Jing had finally discovered some information about the aura.
“There’s a chaotic sea of stars all over the starfield, but there’s a broken tree trunk on one of the stars. Half a month ago, someone accidentally found the broken tree, and since then, it has been contaminated with the unknown and awakened that gray mist,” said Yang Jing.
Xiao Chengfeng also gathered some intel after asking around. He solemnly said, “I heard that if you’re infected with the unknown, you’ll be covered with white hair and become a white-haired monster. It’s extremely horrifying!”
“At first, everyone thought there was a great opportunity there, but later on, even the Wisdom Elite perished. Since then, it has become a forbidden zone! It’s unexpected of it to suddenly manifest the Origins.,” said Jiang Liu.
Everyone looked solemn. They all found this immensely strange.
However, the eyes of Nanan and Dragin suddenly lit up as they exclaimed, “Broken tree?! Ah! Brother Li said that wood ash is made of broken trees. Such a mysterious broken tree is definitely the best choice for making wood ash!”
Silence filled the room as the Heavenly Palace people broke out in cold sweat.
‘We’re here nervously analyzing the situation and this is all you can think about?’
‘Your conclusion for such a powerful existence is to make it into wood ash?’
‘Can you be any more stubborn than that?’
‘I guess being by the expert’s side will give unimaginable perspectives!’
“So that’s why Master opened up a portal to the third dimension. Hurry, we need to get some wood ash for him!” said Blackie.
Immediately, everyone went to where the aura was.
In the chaotic sea of stars, which was no doubt the most bizarre place in the entire third dimension, were countless star fields. Big and small stars alike were suspended in the void and it was like a horizonless ocean. The probability of encountering a broken tree in so many stars was lower than low and because of the changes that had occurred. This sea of stars had been sealed off and turned into a restricted area.
Many people had already gathered here by the time Blackie and the others arrived. They rushed over as soon as they heard the commotion. Looking up, it could be seen that somewhere among the sea of stars, there was an unknown and strange gray fog flowing. There were also white-haired monsters swaying in it. They were covered with white hair and their faces withered with the omen of old age.
Everyone was looking at them with shock and horror. Those white-haired monsters still retained their original mana. There were Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal, Heavenly Realm fighters, and the vague aura of Wisdom Elites.
Someone could not resist anymore and tentatively stepped into the star sea. As soon as he entered, those gray fog seemed to have come alive as it wrapped itself around the person while the white-haired monsters attacked him. The scene was so traumatizing that no one dared to act rashly.
Cultivator Junjun took a deep breath and said in shock, “What exactly is that? Why does a person sprout white hair as soon as it comes in contact with it? Even a Wisdom Elite has no chance against it.”
“It’s expected that a mission given by the expert would not be easy,” said Jiang Liu seriously.
Suddenly, Shi Tuqin’s expression changed slightly as she felt the scroll in her arms trembling. The portal to the third dimension appeared after Li Nianfan painted ‘A Wonderful World’ so there must be some deeper meaning to this. Moreover, she often observed this painting and had attained some comprehension of it.
“Everyone, follow me inside,” she said to the Heavenly Palace people, and without hesitation, they followed her forward.
Their movements immediately attracted the attention of the people around them. They were taken back momentarily but then sneered at them.
“I don’t know whether to call them brave or stupid to enter the place like that.”
“They must not know how terrifying the mist is. How foolish of them to court death like this.”
“Oh well, I’ll just take it that they’re scouting the situation for us.”
“Everyone, let’s block their path of retreat so they can’t come out from the mist!”
Under the gaze of everyone, Blackie and others stepped into the strange sea of stars together! The next moment, the gray mist surged, and the white-haired monsters roared frenetically as they charged towards them.
Cultivator Junjun’s and the others’ hearts lurched, and their mana surged, prepared to fight at any time.
Qin Manyun was also a little nervous and she could not help but ask, “Sister Tuqin, I trust that you have a plan?” She knew that Shi Tuqin would not put them in danger.
Shi Tuqin nodded as she took two steps forward slowly. At this moment, the gray mist and the white-haired monsters suddenly stopped where they were as if having sensed something.
“It’s no good to be so irascible when we’re living in such a wonderful world,” said Shi Tuqin.
As soon as these words came out, the white-haired monsters actually trembled and groaned as if they were struggling against something. Then, they slowly backed away. The gray mist parted as if it was a mouse having seen a cat.
“Hehe, it worked just as I expected!” said Shi Tuqin with a smile.
Dragin’s eyes widened. “Sister Tuqin, you’re so amazing!”
The Heavenly Palace people were also taken aback. They did not expect this issue to be so easily solved by Shi Tuqin. It seemed like those close to the expert had also become profound.
“It’s not me who’s amazing, but the expert. Let’s go in now,” said Shi Tuqin with a smile.
The eyes of the third dimension’s people nearly popped out of their sockets as they followed Shi Tuqin and the others with their gazes. They rubbed their eyes in disbelief and thought they were hallucinating.
“What’s going on? How can they go in just like that?”
“That’s so weird! The people from the seventh dimension are weirder than that gray mist!”
“How did they do it? We can’t let them go any deeper. This opportunity belongs to us!”
“What are we waiting for? Let’s all rush in!”
In the distance, the Eldritchs were also dumbfounded. Their mouths were hanging wide open and they found themselves unable to speak for a long time.
“How’s this possible? Why would Heaven let them in?” asked Gu Debai in puzzlement.
Gu Lie took a deep breath and said, “The people of the seventh dimension are just full of surprises. I have a hunch that their dimension will be our clan’s biggest enemy!”
“They’ve only entered the periphery. I guess they have something on them that’s making Heaven fearful and cautious. They’re definitely done for once they reach the depths of the mist,” said Gu Ai with a frown.
“I know!” shouted a demon in the Chaos Three-legged Crow group suddenly, its eyes flashing. “The line they spoke just now was the password to enter the mist!”
Realization dawned on the others.
“Hahaha, that makes everything simpler. We shouldn’t waste any more time. I’ll go in first!” said someone and immediately turned into a trail of light which then rushed into the sea star. Those who did not want to be left behind followed him quickly.
The gray mist and the white-haired monsters closed in on the first person, who just smiled and calmly said, “It’s no good to be so irascible when we’re living in such a wonderful world.”
Sure enough, the gray mist and the white hair monster paused, but before he could take another breath, the gray mist and the white-haired monsters rushed toward him crazily.
“Ah, no, why is this happening? I’ve already given the password! This must be a mistake!” He was soon shrouded in the gray mist, and white hair began to grow on his body. Thus, there was one more white-haired monster in the scene.
Those who followed him into the star sea suddenly panicked, especially when they saw the gray mist and the white-haired monsters rushing toward them, making their blood run cold.
“Maybe the sentence was wrong?” said someone on a whim as they tried to grab any reason out of thin air.
Someone even went as far as changing his appearance to that of Shi Tuqin, but it was still useless.
“It’s no good to be so irascible when we’re living in such a wonderful world.”
“It’s really not good to be so irascible!”
“Please!”
“No, why doesn’t it work when we say it? It’s just not fair!”
“Ah—! I’m turning into a white-haired monster!”
They began to scream desperately as a layer of unknown shrouded their bodies.
“Haha, fools! That’s what you all get for showing-off!” said the Crow King coldly.
“Oh, don’t be like that, Crow King. It’s because of people like them that we’ve managed to avoid danger. The spirit of the selfless dedication of this group of people is worthy of our praise. They sacrificed themselves to illuminate us,” said the ancestor of the Chaos Divine Sheep in a touching manner.
“It has nothing to do with the password. We have no way of knowing what secrets are hidden in those people. We can only rely on ourselves,” said a Wisdom Elite.
“We should join forces. Although this star sea is weird, it’s not too powerful to be invincible. Together, we can kill all the white-haired monsters. Then, it won’t be too difficult to enter the depths of the gray mist,” said the Crow King solemnly.
