Chapter 1272: The Dust of History

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Three thousand years could change many things.

The growth of the new generation of the Mystic Heaven Great Magus Race could reach new heights, especially under the leadership of that Great Magistrate. Under his governance, the race gradually expanded, and strong individuals emerged one after another.

Although the strength of the race still couldnt compare to what it once was, compared to the current state of the Wanggu, it was already quite impressive.

As for the war outside the God Killing Array, it was still continuing.

As that spider-form god fell into a deep sleep, although the gods under him were also powerful, the Ancestral Magus of this generation, Jiulis aptitude was higher than his fathers.

Under his lead, the great magi of the Mystic Heaven Great Magus Race didnt care about their lives or the consequences. They finally repelled the gods who were trying to invade their race.

This was a great victory that could be recorded in history.

While the other races in Wanggu were enduring the calamity of the gods, the Mystic Heaven Great Magus Race successfully repelled the invading gods and protected their homeland.

Hence, in order to celebrate the great victory this time, that Great Magistrate personally ascended the Ancestral Altar, where he knelt before the heavens.

His expression was sincere and excited as he invited the Ancestral Magus and all the great magi who had fought for the race until now to return home.

In order to welcome the Ancestral Magus back home, this Great Magistrate worked with the famed people in the race to set up a feast in the territory of the Mystic Heaven.

On that day, countless clansmen in the race cheered. Together with the Great Magistrate, they shouted the words return home.

These two words resounded through the clouds and spread through the world. It was also heard by Jiuli and his subordinates outside the God Killing Array.

Their emotions fluctuated. After 3,000 years of battle, many of their companions had died. The remaining ones were already exhausted.

If it was any other time, their hearts would still be firm and they wouldnt take half a step back.

However, now that they had obtained a great victory and the gods had retreated, their homesickness grew even more intense.

They also had descendants in the mortal world. They also wanted to step onto their hometown again and see their clansmen whom they had protected for 3,000 years.

However, in the end, Jiuli refused.

He couldnt return with all the great magi at this moment because he wasnt sure if the gods would still counterattack. He wanted to make sure his race was completely safe during his lifetime.

Therefore, he glanced at the races in the God Killing Array with relief and silently retracted his gaze. He sat cross-legged outside the array and continued to protect his race.

Outside his body, a nine-headed dragon manifested and surrounded his races territory. That was his magus form.

The other great magi also suppressed their homesickness in silence and released their respective magus forms.

From afar, gigantic ferocious beasts continued to protect their land with determination.

Even if they died, they would still die in the war to protect their race. Even if they died, they hoped that their souls could be like their companions who had sacrificed themselves in the past few thousand years and fuse into the God Killing Array.

While alive, they would protect the race.

Even when dead, they would protect it.

Time passed again and another 2,000 years passed.

In the past 2,000 years, although there were occasional incursions by the gods, they found it difficult to infiltrate even the slightest under the protection of Jiuli and the great magi. It was as though in this chaotic world, the territory of the Mystic Heaven Great Magus Race had become a forbidden zone for the gods.

At this moment, the Great Magistrate, who had completely grown up, led the ministers and countless clansmen to step onto the Ancestral Altar again. There, he knelt down and kowtowed to the sky again.

He invited the Ancestral Magus back home.

Countless voices rang out, calling for him to return home.

That was the call of the race, the desire of the race.

Outside the God Killing Array, great magi opened their eyes and stared at their hometown through the array formation.

They looked at the statues built in their hometown. Those were their statues.

5,000 years...

Finally, their gazes landed on their leader, Jiuli.

Jiuli fell silent for a long time. He opened his eyes and wanted to refuse, but when he looked at his companions beside him and felt their fatigue and thoughts, he couldnt say the words of rejection.

He sighed softly and nodded before standing up.

He brought most of the great magi home.

This was the first time he was leaving the God Killing Array and also the first time returning to his hometown after his father died.

The moment they landed in the territory of the Mystic Heaven, cheers resounded through the world. Countless people knelt down in excitement.

Looking at these, Jiulis heart stirred. His 5,000 years of fatigued body felt warmth as he landed on the ground.

However, he never expected that the race he trusted fully, the clansmen he had protected for 5,000 years, and the successor he valued greatly, had prepared a blood-red ending for him.

He never came out of this place again...

This was because that was a trap specially prepared for him and the great magi under him. It was a conspiracy that had been planned for thousands of years.

The place that welcomed him and his subordinates became a burial ground.

The person he trusted the most chose to cooperate with the gods and silently set up a divine formation for thousands of years.

This was a killing array, a sealing array, and also a god summoning array.

The moment Jiuli and his subordinates arrived, the array formation was activated.

That day, the entire land was turned blood red.

That day, the God Killing Array that had protected the Mystic Heaven Great Magus Race collapsed.

That day, the spider-form god, who had recovered to a certain extent, arrived again. At the same time, Its subordinate gods also arrived.

That day, the wails and frenzied roars from the Mystic Heaven land spread in all directions.

Death became the main theme in this place.

Jiulis heart was filled with grief, indignation, and madness. The feeling of being stabbed in the back by the people he protected made him bitter, confused, and furious.

However, the outcome was already decided!

Without the God Killing Array, in addition to the cooperation from the inside and the cold help of those clansmen, all the great magi under him died tragically one after another. Even though he erupted with everything he had, he could only heavily injure the spider-form god again.

He perished in this blood-red betrayal.

His corpse was sealed in the depths of the ground, suppressed by the spider-form god, absorbing his flesh and blood to restore Itself.

The blood, flesh, and shattered souls of his dead subordinates filled the surroundings and fused into this land.

The array formation here still didnt dissipate and became eternal...

The ancient wind gradually left, and the xuns tune that accompanied the dirge also disappeared.

Xu Qing opened his eyes.

The resentment from the memory fragments and the pain of being betrayed by the trusted people rose in his heart.

This wasnt his emotion but it was extremely intense.

He knew that this emotion came from Jiuli.

Xu Qing remained silent and slowly calmed his mind. After a long time, he suppressed these emotions from Jiuli, his expression turning a little complicated.

Although he had already guessed it previously, now that he had truly sensed the history of the memory fragments, he had a deeper sentiment towards Jiuli, towards this land.

Although Jiulis memories ended at the moment of death, Xu Qing could imagine what happened after that.

Many years after Jiuli died, ferocious beasts appeared at the place of his death under the nourishment of the flesh, blood, and souls of those great magi.

They had different forms but they were all filled with viciousness, malevolence, and incomparable ferocity.

This was because resentment was their core.

Regardless of their forms, they had similar origins as those great magi.

In their magus forms, they looked like ferocious beasts.

Hence, this place that used to be the land of authority had another name.

Mountains and Seas Region.

Xu Qing finally understood the origins of the ferocious beasts in the Mountains and Seas Region.

At that moment, he looked around at the place where this race used to live.

A long time later, Xu Qing took a deep breath and erased the last trace of emotion from Jiuli in his heart.

He was Xu Qing, not Jiuli.

The moment it was erased, Xu Qings expression returned to calm. However, he still had a doubt.

According to the memory fragments, the spider god chose to seal Jiulis corpse and absorb his energy to recover Itself.

However, what Xu Qing saw was that the spider god was sealed by the Sun, Moon, and Star Gods.

There are other events in the future... When did the three gods arrive?

After a while, Xu Qing stopped thinking about this matter. This was because the most important thing now was to take out the last skull.

Although eight skulls already gave him the qualifications to leave and store the gray fog, since he had already taken out eight, Xu Qing didnt want to give up on the ninth one.

If he was doing it, he had to do it to the end.

A dark glint flashed in Xu Qings eyes as he performed a series of hand seals with both hands. Immediately, the purple crystal shook and light shot out. Eight skulls danced inside and arranged themselves, forming Chen Ernius array formation.

However, this time, he didnt extract it with five. Instead, he used the eight skulls to guide the last one!

Very soon, the eight skulls emitted ripples that collided with each other, forming a black vortex that reflected the ninth skull.

Xu Qing immediately performed another series of hand seals. The divine power of Fishing the Moon From the Well spread out. The moment the world transformed into a well, he lifted his hand and scooped the water up.

However, the moment he came into contact with the ninth skull, an astonishing fluctuation suddenly spread out from ten thousand feet below the marsh.

The shrine ten thousand feet below trembled intensely and a terrifying aura rose.

This aura was earth-shattering. The moment it appeared, the entire Jiuli Forbidden trembled. It even affected the outside world and spread to the entire Mountains and Seas Region.

In an instant, the Mountains and Seas Region rumbled. The color of the world changed and anomalous substances rose, blurring and distorting, occupying everything.

It was as though the fragmented-face had opened Its eyes!

Countless ferocious beasts in this large region trembled. Their eyes were red and they let out wails and roars filled with resentment.

Regardless of their cultivation levels, unprecedented fear rose in the hearts of the hundreds of thousands of Flame Moon cultivators hunting here. Their expressions changed drastically, not knowing what had happened.

Ji Dongzi was among them. At this moment, he was flying. Under this sudden change, his figure suddenly stopped. His breathing was hurried and his expression instantly changed. After sensing, he suddenly looked at the Jiuli Forbidden.

He could sense that the source of this fluctuation was in the Jiuli!

If it was any other time, he wouldnt think too much about it. However, what appeared in his mind now was the scene of Xu Qing stepping into Jiuli.

An indescribable uneasiness rose..
