Chapter 2663 - 2662: The Truth of the Heavenly Burial Grounds (Part 1)

"Using killing to exchange for freedom, huh," Xu Zimei was somewhat puzzled.

He then asked, "What is the reason for doing this?"

The White Bone Holy Mother extended her hand, pointing at the black lines in the firmament.

She calmly said.

"Do you see the gene black line?"

"Anyone who tries to get close to that place will be hunted by something bizarre."

"I suppose the reason for doing this is also to prevent anyone from approaching there, hence the eerie forces kill anyone who intrudes into the Heavenly Burial Grounds."

Xu Zimei thought about it, and this reason indeed held weight.

It seemed she knew what Xu Zimei wanted to ask.

The White Bone Holy Mother preemptively replied.

"I don't know what the gene black line is either."

"Every eerie being has its own territory and is not allowed to leave it."

"Take this White Bone Ridge for instance, it's the range I am free to move in. Beyond this, my body would decay, my soul would disperse."

"Then what is the deal with the rules?" Xu Zimei inquired.

"Are the rules protecting the eerie beings, or the people entering here?"

The White Bone Holy Mother thought for a moment.

Then she retorted.

"Do you think the rules are protecting the people entering here?"

"But have you ever considered one thing."

"Do you think the eerie beings in the Heavenly Burial Grounds are strong?"

"Strong," Xu Zimei nodded slightly.

This was apparent just from the power of the White Bone Holy Mother.

Although he was confident that if the fight continued, he would surely be able to kill her.

But the Heavenly Burial Grounds definitely held more than just the White Bone Holy Mother.

There were other eerie beings, perhaps even ones stronger than the White Bone Holy Mother, and who knows how many remain unknown.

In this situation, even Xu Zimei didn't have confidence in facing the Heavenly Burial Grounds.

Not to mention those stronger than the eerie beings, the so-called Ancient Gods, which he hadn't seen yet.

"Then do you think the eerie beings are stronger, or the powerhouses of the New Universe?" the White Bone Holy Mother asked slowly.

Xu Zimei was stunned, realizing suddenly.

Yes, no matter how strong these eerie beings were, they were like those old clothes, incapable of withstanding the wind and rain any longer.

They were the remnants of a bygone era.

If you really count, there are countless powerhouses in the New Universe. If you really compare, these eerie beings are nothing in front of the powerhouses of the New Universe.

Moreover, if the powerhouses of the New Universe gathered together, sweeping through the entire Heavenly Burial Grounds might not be impossible.

Yet the Heavenly Burial Grounds have existed for such a long time, why do they remain so mysterious?

Occasionally, news of powerhouses entering it emerges, yet there's never been any extraordinarily large-scale exploration.

Even the Giant World seems to have seldom been involved.

At most, a few major families or forces explore it.

This clearly doesn't add up.

Could it be that people from the Giant World are not interested in the Heavenly Burial Grounds and the matters of the Old Universe?

"Look back at the so-called rules."

"Before violating the rules, eerie beings are not allowed to attack outsiders.

This sounds like protection for the outsiders."

"But do you know, there's another rule in the entire Heavenly Burial Grounds?"

The White Bone Holy Mother said.

"What?" asked Xu Zimei.

"Once someone breaks the rules, the eerie beings can use any method to kill the rule-breaker."

"Including but not limited to using the core force of the Old Universe."

The voice of the White Bone Holy Mother was stern.

"You know, the so-called Cosmic Force we speak of is essentially the power born from the cosmic."

"This power is like the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth, endlessly absorbable."

"But the core force of the cosmic is not ordinary Cosmic Force; it is extracted from the Cosmic Core."

"This power, generally speaking, is the core of a cosmos, sacred and inviolable."

At this point, the White Bone Holy Mother was somewhat mocking.

"Look, even the power of the Cosmic Core can be placed within the rules. Do you think these rules are good or bad?"

Xu Zimei was slightly silent.

Previously he knew, within the world there was a World Heart.

It can be said to be the world's origin power.

Generally speaking, if a world wants to ascend, from a small world to a large world.

Then letting the world develop is one method.

But the fastest way is actually to absorb the origin power of other worlds, that is, the World Heart.

Thus quickly replacing it.

Back then, Xu Zimei let the Divine Continent absorb the power of the Nine Domains World.

Therefore, the Divine Continent was able to ascend to a large world so quickly.

And now, he heard about the Cosmic Core.

Probably something similar to the World Heart.

The Cosmic Core is the essence power of the cosmos, absolutely inviolable.

But now when Xu Zimei heard these rules, it felt a bit odd.

It sounds like the rules are protecting outsiders.

But once someone violates the rules, the rules instead bind the outsides, allowing eerie forces to use the power of the Cosmic Core to eliminate them.

It is possibly the deterrence of the Cosmic Core that makes the powerhouses of the New Universe hesitant to launch a large-scale attack on the Heavenly Burial Grounds.

In simple terms, the Cosmic Core is like a strategic nuclear deterrent.

No matter how you look, on the surface it protects outsiders, but the true purpose is for everyone to adhere to the rules.

Absolutely not allowing any transgression.

This becomes intriguing.

No wonder that toad-like elder stated that the rules arenist to protect the outsiders but to protect the eerie beings.

"This world is truly absurd."

"Even the Cosmic Core has become something within the rules, what more can be forsaken?" Xu Zimei asked this.

The whole Heavenly Burial Grounds gives the impression that there is no bottom line.

But what is the existence's purpose of this place, a residue of the Old Universe like the Heavenly Burial Grounds?

Why has it not perished until now?

In addition, Xu Zimei looked at the White Bone Holy Mother.

He asked, "Is every first time entrant into the Heavenly Burial Grounds granted a blessing, do you know what that's about?"

The White Bone Holy Mother shook her head slightly.

"Alright, I've told you so much, now it's time to talk about my issue."

"I want freedom, I don't want my life to be in someone else's grasp."

"Killing me you wouldn't just gain freedom," Xu Zimei smiled and said.

"Do you really think it would be that simple?" the White Bone Holy Mother squinted her eyes slightly.

Then she also chuckled softly.

"For people like us, since we are remnants of the Old Universe, we will never rise again.

Do you truly think we can gain freedom?"

"It's nothing more than a wishful thought."

"Our existence is to kill the outsiders, aside from this, we have no other use."

"We can never leave the Heavenly Burial Grounds."

"How can I help you?" Xu Zimei asked.

"I want you to go to the Core Land of the Heavenly Burial Grounds," said the White Bone Holy Mother.
