Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1853 – New Blazing Sun Owner

The projections of the two Blazing Sun Fragments combined into one, and the devouring of the Blazing Sun Fragments had completed at this moment.

With the Ancient God Spear in his hands, Qin Yu frowned deeply as if he did not hear Heavenly Center’s laughter. Qin Yu stared at Heavenly Center, whose eyes were filled with seriousness as the Ancient God Spear was pierced into his chest.

It was as if Heavenly Center found the images made from the crimson splashes of his flesh and blood very interesting. The exposed wounds started to tremble, releasing a strong healing power.

Ignoring the destructive power released by the Ancient God Spear that was strong enough to destroy all living things, the wound in Heavenly Center’s chest was rapidly healing.

This healing power was so strong that Qin Yu’s knuckles were uncontrollably shaking as it was trying to strongly reject any foreign objects so that it could close the wound.

However, Qin Yu did not let go. His knuckles turned paler from gripping onto the Ancient God Spear tightly, resisting against the strong repulsive force coming from Heavenly Center’s wound.

Heavenly Center was no longer coughing out blood and some color returned to his previously pale face. Evidently, he had recovered quite a bit. He stared at Qin Yu quietly, and even though his laughter had died down, the hint of a smile on his face intensified. It looked like he was relieved and at the same time, there was a condescending look that he could not hide.

“It’s useless, both you and I know that the winner will get everything. That’s right, after undergoing Demonic Possession, you became incredibly strong, such that you were even able to deal a fatal blow to me. Yet, in the end, it was me who won.

“Why do you still continue to struggle meaninglessly? It is also respectable to just accept the fact that your destiny is merely this pathetic.”

The winner could always act like they were above everyone else, just like how Heavenly Center was acting right now with his tone and demeanor. He tried to show that he was calm and indifferent, as if this outcome was expected and how it was supposed to be all along, yet, there was a subtle expression between his eyes that showed his true feelings of excitement and delight. 

He should indeed feel this way.

Because, from today onwards, the nine Blazing Suns in this world would be complete once again.

And Heavenly Center would become a new Blazing Sun Owner.

No, to put it more accurately, the moment that the two Blazing Sun Fragments merged with each other, he had already become a new Blazing Sun Owner.

So what did it matter that his chest was being pierced by a spear? So what if his heart was shattered into countless pieces? He was an Owner of a Blazing Sun, he was an immortal existence.

Qin Yu’s knuckles trembled even more, and soon, his hands and the entirety of his arms started to tremble too. He frowned even more, but at this moment, his eyes became brighter.

He stared more intensely at Heavenly Center’s wound. Perhaps the torn flesh could not bear Qin Yu’s unmoving gaze, as the speed at which the wound was healing began to slow down.

It happened so suddenly, but it did not slow down only for a moment. The healing power started to deteriorate continuously, causing Heavenly Center to lower his head and look at his chest wound. A look of disbelief formed on his face and there was a confused expression in his eyes.

Why?

Qin Yu suddenly opened his mouth to speak. His voice was hoarse, like two strong and rough stones rubbing against each other.

“Because you’re already dead.”

The trembling flesh that was torn apart now stopped moving. Perhaps because too much blood was lost, the wound turned pale, like Heavenly Center’s face right now.

However, because of his confused and shocked expression, it was easy to miss the paleness of his face.

A sensation of burning pain and weakness spread from the wound in his chest to all four of his limbs. Heavenly Center looked at Qin Yu and his lips trembled a bit, but no sound came out.

Boom –

A deafening boom could be heard and Heavenly Center’s body exploded, his soul dissipating along with it.

The loser was doomed, with no hope of reprieve!

Above Heavenly Center’s head, that Blazing Sun that had merged from two fragments started to shake violently, as if it could not accept what just happened. It had clearly succeeded in swallowing the other fragment, but now, its owner was just killed by someone else.

Buzz –

Buzz –

An unstable, chaotic aura exploded from the Blazing Sun, creating a huge tide that surged across the scorched battlefield. This tide of power created a bigger disturbance than the previous battle between Qin Yu and Heavenly Center did.

The reason was simple: it was because this Blazing Sun was complete, therefore the eruption of its power was extremely destructive.

However, it was regrettable that such a scene was not witnessed by many people…or perhaps, people were more distracted by something else so they no longer had the attention span to care about the things that were happening to Qin Yu.

That was because there was a huge battle happening right in front of them right now!

Final and Origin were two people who truly stood on the peak of this world, and now, they were facing each other. Even though neither of them spoke or released any aura, the silence between them created a suspense that made it hard for people to breathe. These were all clear signs that a terrifying war was about to break out.

Eight Blazing Sun Owners retreated. No matter what they felt about this war, they logically chose to maintain their silence and to observe the situation quietly. Blazing Sun Owners were truly beings that were so powerful that every single one of them was virtually invincible. However, it was precisely because of this that they knew how inferior they were to Origin and Final. 

Rourou walked one step forward and said, “If you want to fight, let’s fight.”

Search ".com" for the original.

She was expressionless and the gaze in her eyes became even colder than before. When she stared at Final, it was as if she could directly see through him.

The Ruler said, “Don’t be anxious, we can’t be the first to attack. After all, whoever is the first to break the bet we made back then will have to pay the price.”

Opposite her, Final was silent. He only frowned, seemingly not wanting to fall out with Rourou and the Ruler over any kind of excuse.

At the core of the battlefield in the Domain of Obliteration, the fluctuating and unstable aura of the Blazing Sun started to become more steady after reaching a certain level. It looked as if it was about to settle down.

That was a given.

As two Blazing Sun Fragments combined to form one Blazing Sun, it was not going to be shattered easily anymore. Furthermore, this Blazing Sun now had an owner. Qin Yu was not going to allow it to act out, so no matter how much it tried to protest, it would still have to lower its head to Qin Yu eventually.

Taking a deep breath and releasing it slowly, Final took a long look at the Ruler and Rourou before turning to leave.

Whoosh –

His illusion disappeared, but a calm voice sounded, “I am a man of my words. Since I have lost the bet, from today onwards, Qin Yu will be the new Blazing Sun Owner.”

Red Sea frowned and a gloomy look flashed past his eyes. Final had left too simply and it was unexpected for her. However, since Final had chosen to back off, of course she had no right to try and do anything on her own.

“Farewell, Your Honors.”

Buzz –

At the battlefield in the Domain of Obliteration, the Great Sun Illusion that represented Red Sea instantly disappeared.

The Blazing Sun Owner Galaxy was extremely weak as he said, “I shall take my leave too, Your Honors.”

He turned around and disappeared.

Countless stars were shattered inside Galaxy’s domain and he had been trampled on. Having suffered such heavy injuries, he had to quickly enter closed-door cultivation.

No matter what, since Qin Yu had become a new Blazing Sun Owner, Galaxy had to pay the price for his previous actions.

He did not regret the things that he did because there was no point in that at all. What was done could not be undone and the past could not be erased…even if he could rewind time, he would still have made the same decisions.

Blazing Sun Owners bowed one by one as they left.

Very soon, there was silence in this battlefield as only the Ruler and Rourou were left behind.

The two of them looked at each other in mid-air.

The Ruler was the first to speak. Her lips curled up as she said, “That Final fellow is too sinister. He was actually betting that the two of us would kill each other.”

“That’s right,” Rourou nodded her head. Her expression was calm as she added, “But you and I have to admit that he was not wrong to bet on that. After all, there must be an ending to the saga between the both of us.”

The Ruler nodded her head, agreeing with what Rourou said. Then, she asked, “Why don't we wait a while longer?”

This was her suggestion.

Rourou was silent for a while before she replied, “Alright, let’s wait it out and see how things go.”

The Ruler glanced at Qin Yu. Before she turned to leave, she said, “You two are closer to each other so I’ll leave him to you. I’m going back to take a nap.”

Then, she left.

Rourou stared quietly at where the Ruler had disappeared for a while. She was expressionless and no one could tell what she was thinking. Her eyes were even calmer than before.

Qin Yu opened his eyes and tilted his head upwards. He looked at the Blazing Sun that was quietly burning and felt its scorching heat and power. Now, he could clearly sense the power he possessed.

With a single thought, every living creature in this world was within his perception. The only difference was that he could sense some places more clearly than others.

To make a comparison, a Blazing Sun Owner could achieve in just one moment what someone in the True King realm could only achieve in one year!

The world was his to conquer.

He was very clear about how powerful he was, but it was also an indescribable feeling. Plucking the stars and the moon from the skies seemed to be as easy as eating a meal or drinking a sip of water.

He was incomparably strong!

At the same time, along with the birth of a new Blazing Sun Owner, the ancient memories that accompanied the Blazing Sun entered Qin Yu’s mind, causing him to frown involuntarily as a slight piercing pain suddenly erupted.

There were too many memories and countless images flashed past his mind, making Qin Yu feel like he was in a dream. It was as if he had personally experienced all these memories before, but only now was he just managing to remember them.

After a long time, the piercing pain in his mind disappeared. He took a long exhale and looked at Rourou who was walking towards him. There was a complex look in his eyes before he regained his composure and asked, “Should I call you Rourou or Origin?”

“I prefer the former, even though I am Origin.” Rourou’s expression was calm, but as she looked at Qin Yu, the corners of her lips could not help but turn up slightly. It was not very obvious, but it was enough to convey her emotions.

Qin Yu nodded, “Rourou, I still have to trouble you to take care of Qin Seven for a little while longer.”

He lifted his head and looked at the sun above his head.

“Little blue lamp.”

There was a soft buzz as the great sun trembled slightly. It disappeared for a moment before reappearing in Qin Yu’s hand. It had taken on the appearance of a palace lantern that was giving out a blue glow. It was only the size of his thumb, but it gave off a peculiar, ancient feeling!

“Qin Yu, congratulations.”

“I have to congratulate you too. If I was just a bit slower, you would have been swallowed.”

“Then I guess we both deserve the congratulations.”

There was delight in the little blue lamp’s voice.

They had succeeded!

At this moment, the little blue lamp’s mind was elsewhere, somewhere far away. He thought about the first time he met Qin Yu a long, long time ago on a dark night.

Back then, Qin Yu was just a young man who was suffering from a chronic illness. He grabbed onto that blue light on the verge of death, and after that, Qin Yu went through endless obstacles to get to where he was today.

In order to prevent himself from being discovered, which would have led to unthinkable consequences, the little blue lamp was in a state of concealment for a rather long time, disappearing from Qin Yu’s world of cultivation.

However, both of them knew that they completed each other and they were never separated for even a moment.

Step by step, they grew together and became stronger together, and now, that ignorant boy and that weak little blue lamp had finally come to where they were today.

Qin Yu reached his hand out and grabbed onto the little blue lamp, “The Desolate World was obliterated because of you and I. Now, it must also be rejuvenated by us.”

He raised his hand and slammed it down heavily.

Then, in the Desolate World that had been converted into the Domain of Obliteration, the internal rules started to rebuild. The river of time in this world seemed to have been lifted by its tail, causing the flow of time to be reversed.

Obliteration power that surged outwards was also starting to be sucked back, as it spat out everything that it previously swallowed.

The world was recovering.

Those living creatures that were swallowed by the Domain of Obliteration also recovered along with it.

This was the terrifying power of a Blazing Sun Owner. With just one thought, they could reverse the flow of time.

Bull Dingtian, who was hiding outside the Domain of Obliteration and waiting for news, suddenly widened his eyes as he looked at what was happening in front of him with shock.

“It has ended…” He mumbled subconsciously to himself, but even after having made this judgment, his mind was still blank.

This was because witnessing the reversal of time was simply unbelievable.

Someone in the True King realm could also control the rules of time, but not to such an extent. Furthermore, the rules of time were being altered across such a huge range; they were basically being applied to an entire world!

Bull Bean’s eyes widened and she asked, “Did Brother Qin win?”

Bull Dingtian paused, shook his head, and replied, “I don’t know.”

At the same time, all of the King realm cultivators that were desperately escaping were also watching this scene. They too wanted to know what exactly had happened.

Rourou asked, “I understand why you are recovering the world, but why did you revive them? You have just become a Blazing Sun Owner, you must learn to cherish your own power.”

Qin Yu laughed, “Even though I am not a saint who advocates for compassion and benevolence, these creatures have suffered a catastrophe because of me. I can’t possibly look the other way.”

He turned around, looked at Rourou and added, “When this is all over, let’s find a place to sit down and have a chat over wine.”

Rourou nodded her head, “Okay.”

She blinked and continued, “However, this is a great opportunity to show off your mightiness to everyone. Are you really not going to take it?”

Qin Yu shook his head, “With my current identity, it is something that can be easily achieved. Why waste my energy on this?”

He raised his hand and Qin Seven flew over. His fingertip touched against her forehead.

“Ah!” A shocked Qin Seven abruptly opened her eyes. When she saw Qin Yu in front of her, her eyes widened and she exclaimed, “Brother!”

She ran over and embraced Qin Yu.

Qin Yu hugged her back and smiled, “Yeah, I’m alright.” He stroked her hair and said, “You don’t have to be afraid anymore. It’s all in the past.”

Qin Seven nodded her head vigorously as she leaned into Qin Yu’s arms, feeling extremely safe.

“This is Sister Rourou. Greet her.”

Qin Seven bowed respectfully towards Rourou.

Rourou smiled and said, “How sweet of you. Little Seven, you did well and were so brave earlier on. You’re a good girl.”

Qin Seven blinked, “Sister Rourou…I feel like I’ve met you somewhere before.”

Rourou laughed, “I somehow feel that way too. It seems that both of us are fated.”

As Qin Yu watched this scene unfold, Feature appeared in his mind. However, he also understood that what had been lost would be gone forever. Furthermore, he had an even harder choice to make in the near future.
