Chapter 180 The Only Thing Left
On the ground, the only thing intact was a bright yellow halo.
With a wave of his hand, Xia Dayu summoned the halo back into his grasp.
"No!!!"
Fang Xiaoyu roared with anguish, blood streaming from the corners of her eyes. Ignoring everything, she shoved Wan Yi aside and stumbled to the ground.
She picked up the remaining handle of Thor's Hammer and the half-shattered mask of Thor's Armor, her body trembling uncontrollably.
"You're dead… You can't be dead… Don't leave me… No!!!"
Fang Xiaoyu clutched the fragments she had gathered in her arms. Raising her head, her eyes, filled with resentment and hatred, locked onto Xia Dayu.
"I want you dead!!!"
Fang Xiaoyu grabbed her dual swords, spread her wings, and charged forward, attacking Xia Dayu with reckless abandon.
However, her swords and body passed right through Xia Dayu, failing to inflict any harm whatsoever.
The little yellow dog howled miserably and rushed over, tearing at Xia Dayu while questioning him,
"Why… Why did you kill Wan Lei? He was the person you personally chose! Why did you kill him? Why did you become the villain? Why!!!
How could you become like this? What happened to you all… Wuu, wuu…"
"I said, if he couldn't defeat me, he would have to die."
Xia Dayu said expressionlessly.
"Impulsive, mindless, stupid, a Holy Mother, weak. Such a protagonist doesn't deserve to live, let alone be called a protagonist."
"Give him back to me! Give him back to me!!!"
Fang Xiaoyu bit her lip until it bled, but she couldn't do anything to Xia Dayu.
How could a Nascent Soul ant shake an Immortal Venerable?
"This is all fake, right? Please, revive him. We don't want anything else. This is the world you created, Immortal Venerable, please bring him back to life…"
Fang Xiaoyu's mind was completely shattered. All the wisdom and strategies were futile in the face of absolute power. She could only beg.
She wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but she found herself unable to even move.
"What if I don't revive him?"
Xia Dayu's attitude remained icy.
"Then… then let me go. I want to die with him."
Tears of blood continued to stream from Fang Xiaoyu's eyes, her gaze still filled with boundless hatred.
Wan Yi walked behind Xia Dayu and kicked him hard.
"Stop it! Quickly revive Wan Lei. You said it yourself, every Xiaoyu must not suffer any grievances, but now you're bullying her."
Xia Dayu was stunned by these words. Then, he reached out to revive Wan Lei. Suddenly, he smiled awkwardly and looked at Fang Xiaoyu.
"Xiaoyu, can you not tell Wan Lei that I bullied you later?"
"You f*cking…" Wan Yi.
"Okay, I won't say anything."
Fang Xiaoyu quickly wiped away the tears of blood from her eyes, and the color of hope reappeared.
Xia Dayu nodded and gently waved his hand. As if time were flowing backward, the pieces of Thor's Armor quickly gathered together, and the vanished flesh and soul all returned, reforming into one.
The blue armored figure returned.
Wan Lei retracted his armor and looked around blankly. He remembered that he had died.
Fang Xiaoyu cried as she threw herself into Wan Lei's arms, greedily smelling his scent and feeling his familiar warmth. It was all so wonderful.
"How was the feeling of death?"
Xia Dayu walked over. Wan Lei didn't sense any fluctuations of cultivation from him. Clearly, the other party had returned to the Immortal Venerable state.
"Very real."
Wan Lei knew that he had lost this battle. He also took back the Thor's Hammer in his hand back into his body.
"Because you really did die. This world was not created by me, but I revived the Moral Plane from fifty thousand years ago. Everything here is real. You really died and were really revived. Remember this feeling. Next time you die again, no one will revive you."
"Immortal Venerable… can you revive the dead?"
"Immortal Venerable is omnipotent."
Xia Dayu said with a calm expression.
"Then… are Saints or Immortal Venerables more powerful?"
"Saints?"
Xia Dayu chuckled.
"For cultivators and all living beings, Saints are the highest realm that can be reached, as eternal as the heavens and earth, immortal and indestructible."
"What about Immortal Venerables? Aren't you also cultivators?"
"We…"
Xia Dayu gave a bitter smile.
"Strictly speaking, we can no longer be considered human. This isn't meant to elevate ourselves, but from a lifeform perspective…
No, we can't even be considered life anymore. We have no physical body, no soul, and even the last trace of true spirit to return to the River of Fate has completely dissipated, and only then do we achieve the position of Immortal Venerable.
Immortal Venerables are not considered life. Even this title was given by me to bridge the gap with humans.
Immortal Venerables were actually called the Unique God, the Eternal and Unique God. We are pure energy bodies. My position is the Unique God of the Metal Element, which means that the metal element energy position already has a will, and no one can become the God of the Metal Element again.
The Unique God transcends any cosmic will. After we devoured the Unique God positions of matter, space, and time with our energy Unique God positions, we possessed the highest authority in the entire positive plane.
We… although we are omnipotent, the price is also enormous. Sometimes, we envy you, with flesh and blood and souls, unlike us, who are left with only empty energy and authority. As long as there is a trace of energy, we will not perish…"
Although Xia Dayu was frowning and sighing, Wan Lei still sensed a strong aura of showing off.
You really know how to flex. Others can't even become Immortal Venerable if they wanted to.
"Alright, let's not talk about this. It's too far away from you.
I said before that I would give you two paths. One is to defeat me, and I will let you out, but you lost and died. So you only have the other path left.
Answer my question correctly."
"Your question… I still think you are wrong, but I don't know what is most important to the universe, good or evil."
Wan Lei's gaze was firm.
"Then I'll ask it another way. What do you think is most important to the life of a universe?"
"Life… water? Fire? Air? Energy? A survivable environment…"
"All wrong."
"But I still think that you are the ones who ruined this world, turning it into such a hellish place."
"You think this is hell? Child, you have seen too few births and deaths."
Xia Dayu gently raised his hand, and Wan Lei and the others immediately followed him into the sky.
The scene before them rapidly reversed, and Wan Lei felt a moment of dizziness.
"Accelerate."
After Xia Dayu finished speaking, the people on the ground suddenly moved quickly, and the sun, moon, and stars flowed rapidly, dazzling the eyes.
"I have accelerated the progress of this world. Observe carefully, child. I will show you… reincarnation."
Xia Dayu smiled slightly, and the speed of the scene before him increased even more.
