Chapter 566: Next Samsara God?
Sage Realm, Tainted Blood River
This place was a higher dimension above the universe. Also, it transcended space-time and other small dimensions.
Minghe frowned as he stared at a string of Miaomiao's karma. The Heavenly Dao continued to inject Primordial Yin Yang Providence Qi into Miaomiao's karma threads while the river of blood also stabilized the existence karma.
Karma, karma strings, the karma of existence, and every profound power of karma belonged to the Zenith Heaven, aka the Sage Realm. Karma Strings of Existence connected the recyclable souls to the avatars of everybody in the universe, except for sages. Without the threads, no one could exist in the universe.
The strings of existence also enabled mortals to cultivate various kinds of Qi to become immortals. As for immortals, the strings were used as trackers to keep tabs on their behavior and personality. Any vile immortal was always punished by bad luck and negative karma.
Meanwhile, karma strings of deities were like restraints. They shackled the deities under the Heavenly Dao so that they could not run amok and took advantage of immortals and mortals without a consequence. All violators were naturally punished by the Heavenly Dao.
Just now, the karma string of the Sun Crow shone in red light. The 9th prince of the Golden Crow Clan had just been inflicted by the negative karma for killing Miaomiao's family and friends. Now, he bore several eggs of karma centipedes, the tools of Heavenly Dao, and he would never be able to get stronger.
However, Minghe didn't care about what would happen to the crow. He kept glaring at Miaomiao's karma and his evolving soul.
The grain of sand, which represented Miaomiao's entity, had just been born and detached from Devil not too long ago. Normally, it should have been weak, and karma threads should have been thin and fragile like a fabric thread.
Instead, the karma strings of Miaomiao were as thick as a telephone cable. They were too big!
While karma strings enabled mortals to cultivate, they also served as their innate talent, martial roots, and spiritual roots.
The stronger and bigger the karma strings, the higher potential of the cultivator!
Thus, the cables were so strong that every string could transfer the Yin Yang Providence Qi from the Sage Realm to the Dark Forbidden Zone.
Not even a sage could put a dent on these strings!
Minghe gritted his teeth. He couldn't read or tamper with Miaomiao's karma anymore.
'Who was it?! Hongjun? Nüwa? The Tianzun trio? Or is this the will of Heavenly Dao?! Is this why Mao Miaomiao will become the center of the next calamity?!'
He immediately looked for chess pieces with karmic abilities. However, Samsara God was dead, and the Heavenly Dao was in the middle of choosing a new successor.
Still, the Heavenly Dao seemed to favor one individual, who also had strong karma strings. Unfortunately, he was from the Meng Clan.
'Meng Xin? Too bad he's also a chess piece of Hongjun's disciples. He always succeeded the Samsara God's legacy. But man, Hongjun is too ruthless. He always erased Meng Xin's memory and destroyed his cultivation base. Otherwise, Meng Xin could have already ascended to the sage realm and won so many games. What is Hongjun scheming for losing on purpose?'
Minghe gritted his teeth when he thought about the rival sages. The alliance of Hongjun and the three great sages was unshakable. The only one who could compete against them was Nirvana Buddha, who was the sage of all Buddhas and the master of Sun Wukong.
Even Nuwa and Fuxi's forces were not in their league!
Still, Minghe's power and influence were catching up to them as he had won several rounds of the [Game]. He had acquired enough faith power from the Asura and the Oni Tribe.
Should Kishin Douji manage to dominate the universe again, Minghe's power would be on par with the Jade Sage and the other great sages.
'I should enhance my King Piece and make him the successor of Samsara. Only then, he can carry over his progress to the next game! Then, I can snowball the next following games.'
Minghe took a deep breath and was about to contact Kishin Douji.
Suddenly, a gigantic half-naked man floated closer to Minghe's planet. The size of this person was even larger than the entire Sage Realm!
He was the owner of Heavenly Dao, the creator of all entities!
Minghe turned around and widened his eyes in shock. He exclaimed, "M-MY LORD?!"
"Do not cheat again, Minghe. This is my last warning."
"I-I never cheated!"
"You can't fool me. DO NOT CHEAT!"
"Y-Yes, My Lord!"
"Also…"
"Y-Yes?"
"The next round, I shall set the new rules and how we should proceed. I will handle the endless conflict between every sage MY WAY!"
"O-Of course!"
The giant entity floated away from the planet and disappeared as if he never existed.
Minghe collapsed on his buŧŧ and sweated profusely. He never feared the other sages, but he was terrified of this person.
He still shivered in fear, "L-Lord Pangu… is he the reason for all these irregular singularities?!"
…
After Adam had stolen the Aves Continent from the Golden Heavenly Goose Planet, the Holy Land Tournament was almost canceled because of the chaos.
Still, Karen managed to ditch Kunwu and return to continue the tournament as planned.
During the reward ceremony, another incident occurred. Meng Xin asked Karen for an absurd wish, demanding the entire planet for himself!
Of course, Karen refused as she had already traded this planet with Uriel. She even went back against her promises and canceled Meng Xin's rewards in anger.
Meng Hong and Meng Xin were offended by Karen's antic. They cut ties with Karen and retreated to their home planet.
Unfortunately, as soon as they reached home, the Meng Clan was invaded by the Netherworld Realm's army, led by Lilim and Levy.
Without Meng Po's presence, their home planets were destroyed. Meng Hong and the clansmen were all slaughtered, weakening the Providence and the foundation of Meng Po.
However, Meng Xin managed to escape, but he was seriously injured. He kept flying through space, fleeing from Lilim's armies of immortals and deities.
…
Dark Forbidden Zone
Meng Xin looked haggard. His tattered clothes, disheveled hair, and dried blood on his face made him look like a beggar or a poor cultivator.
After spending months fighting and escaping from Lilim's soldiers, he finally reached the Dark Forbidden Zone, where no Qi sense worked.
Without hesitation, Meng Xin rushed into the danger zone, hoping to lose the pursuers.
10 seconds after Meng Xin had entered the Dark Forbidden Zone, a group of ten immortal lamias arrived at the place that Meng Xin had stopped and rested.
The squad tracked the Qi and aura of Meng Xin. Then, they gazed at the edge of the universe.
"He has already entered the forbidden area. What should we do, captain?"
Their leader shook her head, "Let's return and report this matter to Her Highness. We can't afford to offend the Olympians or Eden Garden Sect."
Lilith didn't have a good relationship with the Olympians and Adam's followers. Those people might attack them on sight, so the girls didn't want to risk their lives for one deserter.
The squad obediently turned back and flew away.
Meanwhile, Meng Xin, who was exhausted from the long arduous fight, managed to catch his breath. He glared at the returning lamias from a distance.
'Lilim! Just you wait. I'll avenge my family and my clansmen! In 10 years… no, within a hundred years, I'll get stronger and surpass you! I'll slaughter your entire family, chickens, and dogs in the Netherworld Realm!'
Killing intent swelled in Meng Xin's heart. He shed tears of anger and regret that he was too weak and unable to protect his family.
Now, he could only run and embrace the humiliation.
Without a place to go, Meng Xin entered the dark forbidden zone and flew blindly. He cultivated as he traveled, absorbing the Chaos Miasma to heal his injuries.
Along the way, he was inspired, and he obtained another Dao. Unfortunately, he couldn't train properly as the chaotic miasma in this dark forbidden zone weakened his mental strength. Sometimes, Meng Xin saw a hallucination of his dead parents and Lilim.
At this rate, Meng Xin would lose his mind soon.
After three months of the random journey, Meng Xin discovered a series of Chained Networks, where planes, continents, and planets were chained together.
Meng Xin was delighted that he finally found a civilization. He immediately approached the nearest plane.
Unfortunately, the nearest plane that Meng Xin was heading toward was covered by a strong defensive array. It blocked Meng Xin's access.
Moreover, there was a massive signboard.
[No Trespassing. Violators will be permanently crippled!]
[Signed, Adam olo]
"…"
Meng Xin frowned and gazed at the plane under the protection of the large barrier dome. Then, he was shocked.
It was the Aves Continent!
Meng Xin had mixed emotions. He was glad and angry at the same time.
This place was where his journey had started. He met Zhao Bao, acquired a second chance in life, got bullied by Miaomiao, and so on. Then, he died here at the hands of unruly immortals.
Meng Xin always dreamt of returning to this place to visit his old friends and his former mentor. However, he never had a chance.
Yet, Meng Xin ran into the continent when he least expected it.
"Who the fuċk is this pėnɨs-lover Adam?"
Because of his temperament and weakened mentality, Meng Xin muttered out loud.
Of course, his remarks offended a cultivator, who had parked a small flying ship next to the Aves Continent. The cultivator was a relative of Eden Garden Sect's initiate.
The cultivator bellowed in anger, "Who the fuċk bad-mouth the god?! Show yourself!"
Meng Xin's temper was foul at the moment. He instinctively rebuked, "Your god? If Adam is your god, then he's a gay god or a god of dɨċk-sucking sissy! He even has a dɨċk next to his name!"
"HOW DARE YOU!!"
The cultivator tracked Meng Xin and rushed at him, sending a palm strike to the latter's ċhėst.
BANG
Unable to dodge, the palm strike hit Meng Xin's ċhėst, but it failed to harm him.
Meng Xin grumbled and grabbed the arm of the cultivator. He spat, "An 8th-stage cultivator dares to attack me, a 9th-stage karma cultivator? You're courting death!"
The Dao Avatar of a giant saber manifested over Meng Xin's head. Then, it cleaved the cultivator!
However, the cultivator was unharmed. Not a single strand of karma was cut nor he was injured.
Meng Xin frowned. This trick always worked against Lilim's soldiers, but it failed to kill a weak cultivator here.
The cultivator sneer, "Is that what you can do? Making an illusion saber to scare somebody else? I see that you're a trashy 9th-stage cultivator!"
Meng Xin snorted and activated his saber soul domain. Then, the head of that cultivator was disconnected from his head. The soul core of the cultivator was also cut in half.
The Chaos Miasma in the forbidden zone immediately devoured the dead cultivator.
Meng Xin sneered at the dissipating corpse. He collected the dead man's spatial rings and erased the residual protection Qi. Then, he searched for valuable items and healing pills.
He found a bottle of basic healing pills and immediately poured them into his mouth. A few minutes later, the superficial wounds were healed.
Meng Xin felt a bit better. He heaved a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a portion of the Aves Continent's barrier was opened in front of Meng Xin, inviting him in. The latter also heard someone's voice in his mind.
'Hello, fellow Daoist. I'm Susano, the guardian of Aves Continent. You seem to be a former population of this plane. How about you come down and rest here?'
Meng Xin rejoiced.. He immediately accepted the invitation.
