Chapter 762: The New Sword Without an Owner, River of Time, The Rise of Humans

The Transcendental Daoist Celestial really regarded Chu Kuangren highly and saw him as the future of Firmament Star. Now that he knew Chu Kuangren was dead, he was more saddened than anyone. Even his posture looked slouched and defeated.

He used to look classy and confident. However, at this moment, it looked like half his body was plunged into the ground, dejected.

In the distance, a sword ray suddenly glided past.

It was a sword.

The group of people mobilized their Emperor Thoughts and saw the sword.

“It’s Sword Daoist Celestial’s Divine Absolute Sword.”

Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial said in surprise.

However, this sword was already covered with cracks, as if it would shatter at the very next moment.

It was hard to imagine what this sword had gone through to make a Daoist Weapon-grade divine sword look like this.

The Divine Absolute Sword shot across the void and flew towards the Detaching Heaven.

“The Daoist Sword has found its way home, but Brother Chu is still nowhere to be found. It seems like he really is gone now…” A Daoist Celestial lamented.

In the meantime.

On Crimson Sun Asteroid, a majestic sword aura suddenly erupted. A wave of incomparably mysterious Sword Dao fluctuations spread and covered most of the Extraterritorial Battlefield. As such, the swords in the hands of countless swordsmen trembled slightly.

Even the Emperor Weapons were not exempted.

On the asteroid, a sword ray shot up into the sky while the sound of sword chants resounded throughout the universe, attracting the attention of all Daoist Celestials.

“Another sword?”

“That was in the Crimson Sun Asteroid’s direction. Is that the sword that Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial forged for Brother Chu?!” The Transcendental Daoist Celestial and Luo Shui were a little surprised.

The jade-like sword body was flowing and intertwined with Daoist patterns. It also shone with a faint purple glow, and the magnificent sword might enveloped most parts of the Extraterritorial Battlefield.

That was the magnificence of a Daoist Weapon!

A very high-level Daoist Weapon at that, too.

On Crimson Sun Asteroid, Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial looked at this sword with excitement in his eyes. “I’ve finally succeeded! With purple metal as the material and the secret realm as the supplementation, this Descendant Self Sword has finally been recast successfully!”

Then, as if he had suddenly recalled something, his excitement faded like the tide. He sighed. “It’s such a pity. The new sword has been made, but the master of the sword is gone forever. This sword is now without an owner!”

A good weapon could only exert its greatest value in the hands of a good master.

There was no doubt that this Descendant Self Sword was the best ever weapon that Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial had cast in his life.

It deserved a superb owner, but unfortunately, that owner was no longer around.

To the Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial, there was nothing more saddening than this.

The brand-new Descendant Self Sword was hovering in the air, its sword body trembling lightly. The dazzling sword rays it emitted made even the stars around look dim.

It was waiting for someone’s call. However, the familiar call never appeared.

The Descendant Self was a little confused.

Where was its master?

It spun twice in the air before it turned into a sword ray and flew in the direction of Firmament Star.

It wanted to go back to the place it was most familiar with and wait for its owner.

Chu Kuangren’s fall quickly spread throughout the entire Extraterritorial Battlefield, shocking countless people. Everyone was unwilling to believe that it was true.

That White-Robed Wargod, the Battlefield Ruler… had fallen?

This Blood Firmament War was finally over.

The Firmament Star came out victorious.

Yet somehow, it seemed like they had not gained anything at all.

The passing of one person made the entire battlefield plunge into great sadness as countless soldiers mourned that white-robed figure.

…

‘Where is this place?’

Chu Kuangren looked around in a daze.

He was currently in a colorful river. To be precise, it was not literally a river but countless light spots flowing in a stream, forming a scene that looked like a river.

There was no end to this river, and similarly, the source was nowhere to be found.

In the river water, countless images were being reflected.

There were people, beasts, mountains and rivers…

However, what Chu Kuangren cared about most was his state at the moment.

He was not in his physical state right now.

In fact, he was in his astral form!

He sat on a lotus platform, with rays of brilliance radiating from his body. It was the bodhi spirit that had formed after he cultivated the Bodhi Lotus Sutra.

“Lil Ai.”

Chu Kuangren tried to summon the Omniscient Spirit.

“I’m here.”

Lil Ai, the Omniscient Spirit, responded, and Chu Kuangren could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. “Analyze my current environment.”

“Yes…”

“Analysis initiating. Analysis successful. Master, you’re now in Firmament Star’s river of time…” said the Omniscient Spirit.

River of time?

Chu Kuangren became even more confused.

How did he get here?

The river of time was a very mysterious place. Chu Kuangren had only heard of it in rumors as no one had ever been able to confirm its existence.

Yet now, he was in the river of time himself.

“How in the hell did I get here?”

“It was the Timespace Treasure’s doing. Master’s body was destroyed when you were on Blood Origin Star. To protect you, the Timespace Treasure automatically pulled Master’s soul into the Firmament Star’s river of time. As for why the river of time, according to analysis, it’s probably because Mater possesses Firmament Star’s Heavenly Dao energy within your body…” said Lil Ai, the Omniscient Spirit.

“No way. Even the Immortal Body was not resistant to that sort of energy?”

“No. According to the analysis, although the Immortal Body has disintegrated, it was not completely destroyed. It just needs some time to recover.”

“How do I make my way back then?”

“When we locate the specific time point on Firmament Star that Master’s body was destroyed, you will be able to return,” Lil Ai said.

“I see. I shall give it a try.”

Chu Kuangren mobilized his Emperor Thought to envelop the river of time. However, this river of time was too vast, and his Emperor Thought could not cover it completely.

While his Emperor Thoughts envelop the river of time, countless images and information poured into his mind. That was when he saw the scene of the birth and inception of Firmament Star.

At the beginning of the birth of the Firmament Star, the earth was barren. After countless years of derivation, the first complete creature was finally born.

It was a magnificent man.

He had sword-like eyebrows and a starry gaze. Every movement he made possessed power so strong that it could subvert mountains and rivers. This man was the first life form of Firmament Star.

He was the King of Gods!

After the King of Gods, subsequent lives were born. However, because the Heavenly Dao had not officially formed on Firmament Star during this time, all these innate life forms had amazing power within them.

They called themselves gods, and they dominated the skies and lands.

After some more time, Heavenly Dao was finally formed!

The Heavenly Dao began to maintain the order of the sky.

The creatures born after that no longer had such devastating power that could destroy the world. These beings were called the later beings.

Although the later beings were weak, they had huge growth potential. Among them, there was a kind of later beings that had the weakest strength but the greatest growth potential, and that was… the humans!

The newly born humans were extremely weak. Facing the primitive living environment, whether it be natural disasters or various wild beasts, they were enough to cause countless deaths and injuries among them. Even the survival of their own race became a problem.

However, humans were self-reliant. In the face of a dangerous environment, they never gave in. In the long struggle for survival, human civilization had not been wiped out. On the contrary, it has continued to expand and develop.

Some humans invented words to record information.

Some humans ground stones to make swords and spears to fight beasts.

Some humans used trees and bamboo to build the first house, giving the humans a place to shelter from wind and rain.

Some humans raised silkworms, weaving the silk into clothing so that people could withstand the wind and cold.

Some humans tasted myriads of herbs to carry on the fight against diseases…

Chu Kuangren looked at the growth and development of the originally weak human race, and his heart began to pound. Suddenly, a kind of enlightenment struck him deep down in his heart.

However, he then saw an image.

In the image, people piled up slaughtered cattle and sheep in front of a statue, kneeling on the ground, their faces full of reverence.

Chu Kuangren knew that this was the first time humans worshipped.

The gods had now come into the picture.
