Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1065 Sun and Moon, Let Them Turn Again (44, Requesting Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month!)
【God One, or rather, Crimson Goddess】

At that moment, a grand yet gentle voice resounded in Chi Shen Shu's heart.

The voice of the Ancestral Dragon echoed powerfully, as if it came from infinite spacetime: [In infinite parallel spacetime, there is a 70-80% chance that you will do evil, but in the remaining 20-30%, you can resist the temptation of the Heavenly Demon, insist on cultivating the most orthodox Blood Sea Dao, and finally sacrifice yourself to create the 'Heaven-Mending Blood Stone', allowing the Heavenly Dao to restore a part of its vitality.]

Before infinity, before me, even the slightest intention to fall is an infinite fall.

Similarly, before the Dao, before me, upholding the righteous path even once is an infinite act of perseverance.

The Ancestral Dragon's voice was devoid of emotion, simply stating a predetermined fact that transcended infinite parallel universes: "[Crimson Goddess, you have rendered meritorious service]."

So, I'm giving you a chance.

He slowly raised his left claw, and on that enormous dragon claw, time flowed and finally condensed into a point of purple-blue divine light.

That was the Ancestral Dragon Scale. It was something that the leader of the Divine One Sect, the Blood Sea Demon Sect, and even the Heavenly Mother Palace, the True Refining Path, the Great Chen Dynasty, and the Heavenly Demons, among others, had schemed and plotted, even at the cost of a cataclysmic calamity, all to obtain…

scale.

Eat up!

The Ancestral Dragon calmly said, "Since all your depravity and struggle were for the sake of obtaining my scales, then you shall eat them. 'Devouring heaven and earth, all things belong to me,' circulate this transcendent path and consume them."

The leader of the God One Cult remained silent.

The moment He saw this unprecedented, historically recorded image of the Ancestral Dragon appear, He knew He had failed.

What failed was not His plan. His scheme was intricately linked, exploiting the selfishness of all the Heavenly Sects, the greed of the Heavenly Demons, the internal strife of the Dragon Clan, and even taking into account the predicament of the Huai Xu Heavenly Dao itself. It was a perfect plan.

The failure stemmed from the emergence of an unbelievable, illogical, and unpredictable entity during this great calamity…

His gaze moved with difficulty, landing on the figure supported by boundless light atop the ancestral dragon's right claw.

The figure also calmly gazed at Him.

An Jing remained silent, showing neither contempt nor respect. He simply looked at the leader of the Divine One Sect in a normal manner, as if he were looking at a celestial being.

How normal! Looking at a Celestial Venerable is just like looking at a Celestial Venerable; it's only natural.

Therefore, on the contrary... it's unacceptable!
—I am special…I am clearly special!

They cannot accept this. It is precisely because every martial artist adheres to this principle that they become powerful and reach greater heights—they absolutely refuse to be ordinary, they absolutely refuse to be seen as 'ordinary'!
Therefore, at this moment, the leader of the Divine One Sect, Crimson Goddess, laughed, and said with a bitter smile: "Thank you... Ancestral Dragon Saint Venerable!"

The moment the words fell, the blood-red halo behind His head suddenly expanded, and the center of the halo cracked open, turning into a chaotic spacetime, like a giant maw that devoured everything, and fiercely pounced towards the scale on the Ancestral Dragon's claw!

[Devouring Heaven and Earth!]
He did indeed eat the ancestral dragon's scale.

then.

The leader of the Divine One Sect, Chi Shen Shu, then learned of it.

Why is it that the Four Seasons Dragon God, and all the other Heavenly Sects that seemed to know a little about the inside story, never made a move on the Ancestral Dragon Scale, and never made a move on any divine object that seemed to be a 'fragment of the Dao'?

unlimited.

Infinite light.

Infinite parallel universes.

An infinitely inverted and chaotic parallel universe.

The moment it swallowed the scale, its 'self' was overwhelmed by an endless torrent of information.

He saw the infinite self, the infinite others, and the infinite true spirit.

He saw himself as stone, as flowers and grass, as air, as time, as space. He saw himself just born in a stream of time, yet already decayed long before birth.

Infinite cause and effect.

He saw himself as both perpetrator and victim, both savior and destroyer. He was being eaten and being nurtured. He was light and a reflecting mirror. Every "He" was different, every time and space was in conflict with each other, and every moment was filled with infinite contradictions exploding in His will.

Within the world, beyond the world, endless possibilities, illusory and impossible light and shadow flowed back and reversed, covering Him.

Infinite facets.

Infinite possibilities.

Infinite chaos and madness.

Infinite reversals and endings.

Infinite, infinite, infinitely infinite... This infinite power shattered God One's 'self' in an instant.

boom!
The halo behind the head of the God One cult leader was instantly covered with cracks and shattered.

Two red lines hung down her face.

He shed tears of blood.

So, so this is why you didn't stop me? You also want to know... whether this path... is viable, is that alright?

Chi Shenshu smiled bitterly, for the Heavenly Venerable's divine sense could barely withstand the tide of this possibility for a moment.

He laughed, laughed heartily, and then raised his hand.

I lost.

He acknowledged his defeat: "Today, I, the leader of the Blood Sea Divine Sect, the Supreme Celestial Venerable Crimson Goddess of the Flood Tide, have failed in my cultivation of the Dao. Therefore, I return the Dao to Heaven to benefit future generations!"

Instantly, a violent power erupted from His body, transforming into a reverse-flowing crimson river that shot straight into the sky!

The power of an entire Celestial Venerable, along with the boundless laws and essence of heaven and earth plundered from the Huai Xu World by the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique, was returned in full at this moment, returning to heaven and earth!

This power was so vast that it appeared as an endless, enormous crimson umbrella, with boundless crimson light spreading across the Ten Continents in an instant, covering the entire Huai Xu Ten Continents, and even covering and enveloping the 'infinite sky and sea'!

[Divine Mandate: Refining Stones into Rosy Clouds, Mending the Heavens with Divine Man]

But it was only for that one moment.

Why wasn't it me!

The Crimson Goddess let out a final roar, almost a sob: "Why, why can't I have it?!"

Then, it dissipated, turning into countless specks of light.
Finally, it condensed into a single drop of crimson blood.
This drop of blood fell onto the ancestral dragon scale, which had never changed in the slightest, and solidified into a seemingly small, yet bright red stone.

[Heaven-Mending Bloodstone]

At the same time, the crimson giant umbrella, supported by the leader of the God One Cult, did not dissipate its crimson glow and collapsed.

Conversely, guided by the will of Heaven, this endless crimson sky transformed into a massive vortex, which began to slowly rotate.

The sun and moon, eroded by the Heavenly Decay, were quickly cleansed by this vortex, their black spots fading away and their light shining anew. The power of the Heavenly Decay had already dissipated the moment it was blocked by the Ancestral Dragon.

Or rather, from the moment it was blocked by the Ancestral Dragon, it faded away, disappeared, quietly left, and escaped; what was imprisoned was merely an incarnation.

All of this was being quietly observed by Haotian Mirror, who had returned to the Mingjing Sect in the northern part of Beixuan Sacrifice Continent.

—Return the Way to Heaven.

He murmured to himself: "At the beginning of the great calamity, the first Celestial Venerable to return to Heaven... has appeared."

An Jing stood on the claw of the Ancestral Dragon.

A spiraling, dragon-like mark, symbolizing creation from nothingness and the infinite ring, descended from the ancestral dragon's forehead and finally descended, imprinting itself on his body.

A mark created out of thin air.

Having borne this mark, An Jing raised his hand; at this moment, he was the point through which the Ancestral Dragon could unleash his power.

The martial artist's hand was aimed at the sun and moon.

He addressed the heavens and earth with a matter-of-fact tone: "Sun and Moon!"

Let's get it running again.

then.

The dark sun, once corrupted by the ravages of heaven, now burns anew.

The once-glorious, dim moon shines bright again.

The once hidden, lost stars shine once more.

At this moment, at this moment.

Heaven and earth are now settled.
