Chapter 1933 - 1932: The ’Simmering’ World

The towering gray pillars pierced through the firmament.

He Ao’s body descended from the sky, landing on the fragmented road. He lifted his gaze to look at the gigantic gray pillar piercing through the clouds.

Standing at this position, the oppressive feeling from the gray pillar was much stronger than observing it from a distance.

The width of these pillars individually exceeded at least three hundred meters, but compared to their height, they appeared somewhat ’slender’.

He Ao raised his head, gazing at the dim sky overhead, watching the clouds pierced by the pillar.

The height of this pillar might have already penetrated the atmosphere, reaching outer space.

He Ao lowered his head, glancing at the fine gray patterns attached to the immense pillar, faintly glowing with a subtle light.

Below the pillar, what appeared to be the base, was actually not a base but was instead the ground pushed up by compression.

The pillar below likely pierced deeply into the earth.

He Ao lifted his gaze, scanning the massive pillar in front of him, while also glancing at the surrounding pillars amidst the clouds.

Thus, these ’pillars’ in essence were not ’pillars’, but rather ’steel needles’ thrust into the planet from the depths of space.

He Ao walked beside the pillar, jumped onto the piled earth, and touched the edge of this pillar.

The gray glow covering the entire pillar suddenly brightened. A terrifying and twisted pressure descended upon He Ao in an instant, attempting to pierce through He Ao’s soul, twisting his consciousness.

A trace of Void Consciousness seeped from He Ao’s fingertips, flowing along these pillars, constantly moving downwards, reaching the world’s lowest layer.

Soon, He Ao withdrew his Divine Sense.

These pillars had penetrated the mantle, nearing the core of the earth.

Judging from the entire structure of the pillar, it seemed like this thing could grow naturally.

He Ao lowered his head, glancing at the green gemstone in his hand.

At this moment, with the help of the Sound of the Star Sea, his consciousness had already crossed the barrier of this world’s core, becoming the ’Angel’ of this world.

He had once crossed the barrier of the Main World before, and the essence of this world seemed identical to that of the Main World. All the knowledge he grasped was useful, allowing him to penetrate the barrier swiftly with almost no hindrance.

However, the core of this world within the barrier looked even worse than it seemed from the outside.

Some invisible Mysterious Academic Style was entwining this core, continually eroding and tearing it apart.

He Ao could barely communicate with it. If not for the faint power from the world flowing into his body, he might have thought that the core of this world was completely ’destroyed’.

But from the current situation, destruction was not far away.

The force rising from the ground was insufficient even to resurrect a Martial Arts Angel on this land.

He Ao put away the Sound of the Star Sea in his hand, raising his gaze to look at the towering pillar before him.

Prior to this, he had actually always harbored a doubt.

Why was the God of Machinery so persistent in finding the Main World, and what did He intend to do after finding it?

At this moment, these pillars seemed to provide him with an answer.

They were attempting to ’dismantle’ the Main World.

Then, what after dismantling the Main World?

Was it merely destruction for the sake of destruction, or was there something within the Main World that required ’opening’ the entire Main World to see?

If it was simply the God of Machinery doing this, it could still be said to be a kind of hatred and anger of the God of Machinery.

But the Holy Master was also involved in this, seemingly intentionally opposing the God of Machinery.

In the Main World, there probably indeed exists something that two Divine Beings are ’fighting’ over.

He Ao looked at the pillar in front, raising his hand and pressing his palm slightly harder directly onto the pillar.

Bzzz——

In response to him was a sharp humming sound that seemed caused by striking a tuning fork.

Any normal construction, had He Ao struck it like this, would have collapsed with a crash.

But this enormous pillar seemed immovable, and around these pillars, the others seemed to feel the slap and vibrations, starting to emit a buzzing sound.

He Ao’s movements never stopped, as he struck the pillar once again with his palm.

Boom——

Accompanied by a booming sound, fine cracks instantly spread across the entire pillar, the gray patterns hadn’t flashed before thoroughly crumbling, along with the whole massive body of the pillar, starting to collapse.

And at this moment, the faint gray patterns on those pillars lit up with brilliant light, connecting all the surrounding pillars.

The collapsing gigantic pillar, wrapped in thunder, seemed to have been paused, stabilizing its structure in the sky, halting the collapse.

Boom——

Dazzling thunderlight suddenly surged in the sky, transforming into a stream of light, striking down.

He Ao’s figure flickered, disappearing from the spot.

In the place he originally stood, the shattered rocks had already melted, radiating scorching heat.

Boom——Boom——Boom——

Again, dazzling thunder descended from the sky, striking from all directions towards He Ao.

The speed of these thunders was so fast that they almost reached He Ao in an instant.

But they still couldn’t land on He Ao.

The dazzling electric light shone like a dense spider web, but each thunder could only barely graze He Ao’s clothing, dropping quickly to the ground, leaving only patches of molten marks on the earth.

In an instant, the surrounding ground was covered with searing molten material, yet the thunder attacks still didn’t succeed.

However, these shining thunders didn’t seem to be conscious attacks, but rather some automatic defense mechanism.

Soon, with the last wave of thunder ending, the buzzing sound echoing among the gigantic pillars gradually faded, leaving only strands of dazzling electric light flashing in the dim sky.

And from the ground below, wisps of purple mist rose.

They transformed into streams of light, merging into the broken gigantic pillar He Ao had shattered, and the originally dim gray patterns on the pillar lit up slightly again.

The entire pillar, as if time were reversing, had every fragment automatically fly back into place, piecing together seamlessly, finally restored to its original form.

He Ao raised his eyes, watching this scene.

Even after destroying the pillar just now, he could still feel that the destroyed pillar was still effective, still piercing into the depths of the earth’s inner layer.

These pillars weren’t solitary existences but a whole in terms of Mysticism; destroying a single pillar had no effect whatsoever.

This is why the existence creating these pillars didn’t mind letting them scatter randomly.

To destroy them, one must find the key mystical structure and completely destroy their core.

And as that pillar restored, the purple mist rising around it gradually dispersed.

He Ao lifted his head and looked at the dense columns around him.

Lin Chichi’s judgment was actually not wrong. These purple mists are the undead who perished in the apocalypse.

They are not formed into evil spirits due to resentment but are imprisoned in this world, becoming the ’fuel’ that powers a gigantic mysterious academic style that disassembles this world.

The existence that stands up these columns is igniting the world, ’simmering’ the world itself.

The thunder in the sky still flickers violently, the desolate wind rolls over the earth, sweeping across the endless ruins where even birds have vanished.

Boom—

And amidst this violent wind, a red light suddenly pierced through the sky, falling toward He Ao.

He Ao raised his gaze and looked at the red light, a dense grey radiance lit up from his eyes, quickly constructing into a grey array that rushed out from his pupils, spreading in front of him.

The red light fell onto the grey array and was instantly swallowed and dissolved by the array.

Soon after, densely packed red lights brightened again in the sky, falling like a sudden rain.

But these seemingly powerful lights, when landing on the grey array, vanished rapidly, as if ice needles pierced into a furnace, turning into dispersed smoke and dust.

Quickly, the red light quieted down, revealing the figure behind the radiance.

It was a gigantic eyeball, and around this gigantic eyeball, numerous small eyeballs were linked together, winding around it like a star ring.

Accompanying the appearance of the eyeball, an old-fashioned train also emerged from the void, wandering below the eyeball in the sky like a spiritual snake, seemingly unable to find its direction.

The eyeball lowered its gaze, staring at He Ao.

An invisible pressure also followed its gaze, pressing down on He Ao.

’King’ Angel.

He Ao still remembers the first time encountering King Angel, being chased everywhere by this guy.

However, this time, He Ao’s primary target was not King Angel, but the old-fashioned train beneath him.

Velora.

He knew that Velora was here, thus predicting that King Angel might also be here, which is why He Ao had just chosen to dismantle the column.

Rather than spending time searching himself, alerting the snake and attempting to lure out King Angel along with Velora, was the most efficient approach.

After the eyeball stared at He Ao, the red light within its eyes brightened again.

At this moment, He Ao already raised his hand, the grey array collapsing in front of him, with a faint purple radiance lighting up in his pupils.

The surging soul power directly pierced out like a needle, stabbing into King Angel’s soul.

In that instant, King Angel’s body shuddered abruptly, and the red light in its eyes flickered fiercely.

Woo—

Then, accompanied by a sharp, low wail, the space distorted, and King Angel’s body flickered once, disappearing from the sky.

King Angel hasn’t completely succumbed to madness, leaving a trace of reason.

Just now, He Ao forcibly awakened his reason using the power of Super Memory.

Of course, this is not enough for King Angel to instantly recover his reason, but it could cause him to have conflicting consciousness, forcing a retreat.

Through battling King Angel for so long, He Ao had become very familiar with King Angel’s strengths and weaknesses.

Accompanying King Angel’s disappearance, the old-fashioned train beneath the sky also sounded its whistle, ready to dive into the void.

But He Ao’s actions were a step quicker, instantly appearing outside Velora’s dining car, grasping the car door handle and forcibly pulling it open, stepping inside the carriage.

By this time, the view outside the windows rapidly plunged into darkness.

That’s Velora once again driving into the void.

He Ao stepped onto the carriage floor, directly opening the separating door between carriages, passing through one carriage after another, swiftly moving forward.

During this process, the entire train struggled violently, the surrounding ground constantly twisting and writhing, and the surging play of lights flashed by, whenever He Ao passed a carriage, the door would open, as if Velora wanted to quickly throw him off.

But none of this hindered He Ao’s steps; soon, He Ao crossed the luxurious carriage, through the ceremony carriage filled with red radiance, reaching the door at the head of the train.

Just as he was about to open the door, a black light suddenly shot out, colliding toward He Ao.

He Ao glanced at the light, slightly moving to the side, making it miss.

The light climbed up with difficulty from the ground. It seemed to be a twisted humanoid but had lost a clear structure, its entire body was like a fusion between flesh and shadow, resembling a twisting shadow writhing on the ground.

It struggled to rise, murmuring, "Who are you!"

Then it growled lowly, looking at He Ao, "Who am I!"

Its body struggled, stretching out, pulling into a thin strip, then curled back like an insect, "I am the king of a new world! I am the ruler of the world! Everyone must listen to me!!!"

It lay on the ground, angrily roaring.

Right then, a strand of blonde hair fell from its twisted flesh. It looked at the strand of blonde hair, paused, then instantly straightened up, "Jin Ya! Jin Ya! My child! Where are you!!"

Then it quickly turned its gaze to He Ao, its sharp, slender body tensing like a hyena, "It’s you, it’s you! Do you want to stop me?!"

He Ao quietly watched him, raising his hand slightly.

The pitch-black shadow instantly boiled in anger, lunging fiercely toward He Ao.

The faint gray radiance overflowed from He Ao’s fingertips in an instant, transforming into a brilliant array that enveloped the pitch-black shadow.

Subsequently, surging flames lit up within this array, engulfing the entire shadow.

"Ah—"

The shadow howled fiercely within the array, seemingly wanting to struggle free, but ultimately to no avail.

Only the flames consumed it completely, leaving nothing but scattered ashes.

This was Ruonati, or rather, Ruonati who had fallen into complete madness.

He Ao withdrew his hand, the gray radiance gathered at his fingertips, and he swung open the door in front of him with a bang.

Arrays engraved with red brilliance appeared in He Ao’s field of view.

At this moment, Velora had once again charged out from the void to hover above a bright lake, writhing fiercely like a swimming dragon, trying to shake He Ao off.

He Ao raised his hand, letting a trace of divine sense fall on the array’s center.

In an instant, the entire array was completely reversed, transforming into a gigantic ’K’ character text.

The formerly fierce train instantly quieted down.

"Let’s go, old pal." He Ao stood at the vehicle control station, gently brushing his palm over the console, looking at the dim sky ahead.

The train dived into the void in an instant, and after a brief blackout, a new radiance lit up in He Ao’s field of view.

He Ao lifted his head to look through the window at the vast ruins.

Xidu.
