Chapter 1544: Letting Go Is Rebirth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Many things in life were difficult to let go of.

Because one could not let go, they became obsessed.

This was especially true for matters of life and death.

Whether their own or others.

The obsession with life and death made it hard to let go, and there was always hope in their hearts.

However, having hope did not necessarily mean that despair would not come.

Regret, in many cases, was the dominant theme of this world.

The world was cold, and the heavens and earth were indifferent.

Just like the moment when the life flame of the Sword Holding Great Emperors statue was about to be ignited, it collapsed.

The oil in the lantern had run out.

It couldnt truly burn.

Even when the Demon Feather Holy Land was sacrificed.

Even though the Myriad Mystical Life Dao Fruit was awakened.

It was still the same.

Only the voice of the Empress, filled with obsession, echoed through the heavens and earth, carrying a deep sense of unwillingness.

She was a god, but gods... werent omnipotent.

She even bit the tip of her tongue and used her divine blood.

Turning the divine blood into life force.

As she performed a series of hand seals, the life force fused into the Great Emperors statue.

Even Xu Qing used all his might to spread out his life force. He used his strength, his Dao, and everything he had to help the Great Emperor.

Erniu sighed softly and sent out his own strength.

However, the outcome... didnt change much.

It was as though there was a ravine that separated death and life.

The aura of the collapse of the Great Emperors statue was still ongoing.

At this moment, this resurrection ritual was inevitably moving toward failure.

Hence, bitterness became everything in this world.

Why is it like this...

The Empress raised her head. She still hadnt given up. Even though all the outcomes pointed to failure, she still erupted with the might of the Divine Platform at this instant.

She tried to stimulate more of her strength to reverse everything.

Just as she was about to overdraft everything, an ancient sigh echoed softly in the Dao Fruit Realm.

Idiot.

This familiar voice caused Xu Qings body to tremble and his heart to stir. Countless memories surfaced in his mind.

The Empress breathing suddenly became hurried. This voice was the source of her humanity.

Hence, the two of them looked at the Great Emperor statue at the same time.

The life essence of the statue that used the memories of the human race, mountains and rivers, and fortune as the three aspects of the soul, and the human emperors as the seven aspects of spirit, suddenly paused amid its collapse.

Its aura rose again.

This time, there was no obstruction at all and it directly returned to its peak. The aura that belonged to the Sword Holder and the aura of a Great Emperor erupted in this realm.

The color of the sky changed and the wind and clouds churned intensely!

The realm trembled, the holy land rumbled, and the Wanggu resonated.

As for the statues body, it rapidly faded away. Finally, it turned into flesh and blood, transforming into a figure that had been gone for a long time.

He opened his eyes.

Sword Holding Great Emperor.

He stood on the transparent sea, his figure aged and surrounded by the aura of death, yet his back was straight and his posture erect.

His gaze was gentle as he stared at everything in front of him. His gaze pierced through this world and past the Demon Feather Holy Land. What he saw... was the human race.

He looked at the current territory of the human race, the people, the mountains and rivers, the fortune, and everything.

At this moment, everything that happened in Wanggu after he died surged into his mind from the Heavenly Dao and all living beings.

He knew that after he died, the holy lands had descended.

He knew that after he died, war broke out.

He knew everything.

A hint of sharpness rose from his body with his perception and understanding, resounding through the world.

However... Xu Qing and the Empress, who werent far away, looked at the Great Emperors figure and couldnt help but feel intense sorrow.

This was because... the Great Emperors body was filled with extreme death energy.

Tears flowed down from the corners of the Empress eyes.

She knew that she... had still failed in the end.

The Great Emperor hadnt been completely revived. The power of life from the Dao Fruit and the three souls and seven spirits of the human race only allowed him to return for a short time.

Xu Qing felt as though his heart had been grabbed. An indescribable emotion made his heart feel bitter and empty.

You guys...

The Great Emperor shook his head lightly. He retracted his gaze from the world and it landed on the Empress and Xu Qing. His expression also became gentle.

XiaerO.

As this word rang out, the Empress trembled as she looked up.

At this moment, she wasnt a god or the Empress but the fragile woman who had been saved back then.

Her sight was blurry from the tears as she looked at the father-like figure of the old man in front of her.

Youve done very well and its enough.

The Great Emperor spoke hoarsely and took a step forward, standing in front of the Empress and patting her head. His eyes revealed love as though he was looking at his daughter.

Its just that... although you know everything, you dont know me.

The Great Emperor said softly.

The history of humanity only recorded my efforts to protect the race with an avatar after my true body perished. The reason behind it was not recorded; I erased that part.

The truth is, when I battled the gods from the central region of Wanggu, I averted the threat of humanitys enslavement. However, the cost was great both my true body and my avatar perished in that battle.

An old friend revived me with a Myriad Mystical Life Dao Fruit on the battlefield after I died.

That resurrection failed but it also succeeded.

The failure is because this fruit merely provides an opportunity for resurrection, not a guarantee of success. Hence, my true body did not successfully return.

The success lies in the fact that, in the end, my avatar, which perished along with my true body, was resurrected through this opportunity.

So, Ive already used this Myriad Mystical Life Dao Fruit once back then.

I cant use it a second time.

So, the failure of todays resurrection has nothing to do with you, Xiaer.

The Great Emperor spoke softly and slowly to calm Parting Summers emotions. He didnt want this child he had saved to regret her failure in reviving him for the rest of her life.

Hence, he had to tell her the reason. He had to let her know that it wasnt her fault. She had already done enough.

The Empress bit her lower lip and silently listened to everything.

The Great Emperor sighed softly and stroked the Empress head again. After that, he looked at Xu Qing, who had a bitter expression.

Xu Qing, you didnt disappoint me either.

Xu Qing lowered his head and the sorrow in his heart intensified. He then bowed deeply.

The Great Emperor laughed.

He looked at the Empress and Xu Qing in front of him. These were the successors he had chosen. One had inherited his cultivation and the other had inherited his Emperor Sword.

He was satisfied with these two and had no regrets.

Only... he still missed the human race.

He missed this race that he had protected for his entire life.

I already know what happened.

Although this Dao Fruit cant revive me, it allowed me to return temporarily.

It also let my returned body no longer be shackled by the star ring and return to the peak of my life.

This is good enough.

The Great Emperor laughed.

It had been a very, very long time since he had such a relaxed feeling. When he recalled it, he only felt this way when his main body was still around back then.

In his later years, he had always endured injuries and slept for most of the time.

Even after he woke up and made a move, he had to endure the fatigue of his soul.

Moreover, he couldnt slash to his hearts content.

He had to be careful and restrain himself so that he could restrain the last sword slash forever.

This was even more exhausting for him.

Even though he wanted to have a good time in the last battle back then, he was unable to do it. Hence, he felt regret.

The duty of protection and responsibility weighed on him like a mountain, pressing down on him his entire life.

If possible, he wanted to truly let go once, just like when he was a youth.

Then, in this last period...

The Great Emperor smiled and raised his right hand, pointing at the Ancient Sovereign Planet in the air.

Under this gesture, the Ancient Sovereign Planet instantly rumbled. As it trembled, it erupted completely and continued to spin, revealing the bone cauldron that had been devoured and sealed.

The lid of the bone cauldron was also opened.

A distorted figure flew out. It was none other than Nether Flame.

The instant he appeared, his expression was sinister. Just as he was about to speak, his expression changed drastically. He suddenly stared at the Sword Holding Great Emperor. His pupils narrowed and all the hairs on his body stood on end.

Even with his current combat strength, he still felt extreme danger from the Sword Holding Great Emperor.

Hes clearly not a Summer Immortal, but why does he give me such a strong and terrifying feeling?!

Nether Flames scalp went numb and he retreated abruptly, wanting to escape.

However, it was too late.

The Great Emperors calm gaze landed.

A peak sword aura suddenly erupted from the body containing Nether Flame, accompanied by a whistling sound that spread across the world.

Nether Flame was overwhelmed with horror. At the next instant, the sword aura soared into the sky and shattered the clouds.

That was... the Emperor Sword!

This sword shone and emitted a might that caused Nether Flame to be in a daze. It instantly landed.

It didnt slash but hung above the top of Nether Flames head and came into contact with his body.

Nether Flames entire body shook and a terrifying force swept out from the sword like a huge wave, rushing into his body with an overwhelming force and ruthlessly attacking his soul.

This is comparable to the power of a Summer Immortal!!

This was the last of Nether Flames consciousness. After that, his soul collapsed and he was forcefully shaken out of the body by this force.

Before he could gather again, the Great Emperor raised his hand and grabbed. Immediately, Nether Flames perception turned pitch-black and was grabbed by that hand.

The Great Emperor waved his hand and gave the soul to the Empress.

This soul is good. It has absorbed a lot of karma from Xu Qings body. You can use it as a sacrifice in the future.

The Great Emperor smiled and flicked his sleeve, returning the body to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing, your body now contains immortal path and this body contains divine repositories. From now on, you will walk the path of immortals and gods together. Ive never walked this path but I can see its infinite potential.

Therefore, its also a good thing. The two of them take different paths. One is the extreme of immortality and the other is the extreme of divinity. As long as the latter succeeds in comprehending the divine authority, you can instantly ignite your divine fire and become a god. Theres a high chance that youll become a truly strong god.

Xu Qing put away the divine body. He looked at the Great Emperor and the sorrow in his heart intensified.

He owed the Great Emperor too much.

The two of you dont need to have such expressions. Im happy. So, Xiaer, Xu Qing, are the two of you willing to accompany this old man on a journey across the world?

The Great Emperor smiled.

The Empress took a deep breath and nodded her head strongly.

Xu Qings gaze was also firm as he bowed.

Im willing to travel with Senior!

The Great Emperor laughed heartily and waved his hand. The sky opened and the Demon Feather Holy Land rumbled.

After that, he brought Xu Qing and the Empress, his two descendants, and left the Demon Feather in a single step. He tore through the sky and walked toward the three holy lands above the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race at an astonishing speed.

I have a sword that can slash the sky and the earth!

The Great Emperors bold words resounded through Wanggu.

At that moment, on the Wanggu, some extremely ancient gods slowly opened Their eyes from Their slumber and looked at the familiar figure in the sky.

It also included Jade Flowing Dust.

Vaguely, They seemed to see the figure of that young man from tens of thousands of years ago, who journeyed across the world with a sword, fighting gods.

Sword Holder...
