Chapter 1968 – The Order of Life
Even Lu Yun didn’t think that he’d kill a giant so easily. When his fist landed on the giant’s chest, he truly felt that—apart from the force that affected and suppressed order—the giants were just ordinary people.
They weren’t just a little bit stronger, but a whole lot stronger.
Even so, ordinary people who were very strong couldn’t compare to cultivators of the same level. Regular high supremes could kill giants such as these.
It was the strange force in the giant that suppressed all power—including order and inner force. It countered everything that the cultivators could muster and all sorts of great dao, but not reincarnation.
Lu Yun raised his speed to the maximum that he could call upon, hiding himself in the vastness of the giant tree. The particle of dust that he was now was the equivalent of the tree’s fibers, not ordinary dust.
Therefore, no matter how strong the giants’ spiritual senses might be, they wouldn’t discover him since they weren’t cultivators.
……
Lu Yun didn’t know where he’d fled to, but he knew that if he stayed just one more breath, he’d already be pulverized into nonexistence. The furious giants had destroyed the part of the void that he’d been in. Everything within had been returned to nothingness.
Although the giants didn’t cultivate and their methods were hardly noteworthy compared to those of cultivators, their strength reached unfathomable levels. Force was the best answer to a myriad of methods. Combined with their strange power that could suppress all order—it meant that no cultivator could withstand a single blow from them.
All the color drained from Chu Xun’s tiny face. She was startled that Lu Yun could kill a giant and even more frightened by the terrible destructive force that the giants wielded.
“There’s nothing to be afraid of.” Lu Yun carefully revealed himself.
An emerald-green heart gently beat in front of him. Rays of pure life force flowed out from it, nourishing the dead tree and giving it the appearance of lush vitality. Lu Yun hadn’t thought that his wild careening would lead him straight to where he wanted to go. It wasn’t a fruit of life, but a heart!
“Right, this heart is the real treasure. The fruit I sensed earlier is probably a fake set up by the giants. It’s bait,” he realized. “But wait… formula dao hasn’t drawn a connection between the withered wood and this heart. I have to find the fruit if I want to activate the wood?”
He paused, clearly sensing that the beating heart was the true treasure to be found within the tree.
But based off the results of formula dao, it wasn’t very important to him. In fact, it didn’t matter whether or not he obtained it.
“This is it!” Chu Xun poked her head out and stared raptly at it. “I can sense its existence, there seems to be something inside the heart that’s calling to me.”
Her body grew hot and she gave off tiny emerald-green sparks that set her ablaze. Emerald green for the fire of the order of life!
It was the same as the flames burning over the withered wood in the Tome of Life and Death!
Lu Yun’s thoughts flew rapidly and he kept a tight grip on Chu Xun with both hands, staring intently at the beating heart. Green flames were also darting out of it.
They gradually formed a woman’s face, one that looked quite similar to Chu Xun. The difference was that she was an adult woman.
“Are you finally here, daughter of King Chu and Queen Xun?” The woman’s voice was tender and mild, making it very pleasant to listen to.
If Lu Yun still didn’t understand what was going on, then he might as well kill himself right now and save everyone the trouble. King Chu and Queen Xun should be the little girl’s parents, and she was here due to the lingering will within the heart.
That will had once wielded the order of life, but just like the tree god, she wasn’t the ancestral god of life because she didn’t fully master the order. Thus, she was here waiting for Chu Xun. There was a karmic relationship between the two.
“The order of life has been broken into pieces, making it impossible for any one person in existence to fully grasp it. I cannot, neither can the tree god. Not even the moat snake destined to become the ancestral god of life,” the voice said.
Seeing as Chu Xun was unconscious, these words were meant for Lu Yun. “I know what you’re thinking. Her parents once came here and took the order of life that I cultivated. That was how they gained their daughter.
“She has returned to inherit everything that I am. Don’t interrupt me! I don’t have much time left,” she spoke urgently. “The giants aren’t the enemy—our enemy is much more frightening than them.”
The woman’s lingering will had resided in the green heart all along and the heart’s power permeated the tree. She’d seen Lu Yun kill a giant. If not for that, she wouldn’t bother speaking to him.
Lu Yun inclined his head and didn’t say anything. The woman was dead, completely dead. Her lingering will gave her the ability to manifest on the premises, but not enough strength to seize possession of Chu Xun.
This was when Lu Yun understood what the little girl’s parents wanted her to come for—to inherit everything that this woman possessed.
The order of life had been split into two. The tree god owned part of it, which was the withered wood in the Tome of Life and Death. Most of the other half lay inside the green heart, which was what the woman owned. The remaining was scattered throughout the world and had been gathered in Carmine Arbiter’s hands. Thus, the woman could sense the moat snake’s presence as well.
The portion that she controlled had been further split into two. Part of it was in the green heart, and the remainder was in Chu Xun.
Most peak grand supremes were immensely troubled with how to have descendants. Their probability of gaining children was almost zero. The two peak grand supremes in question had come by Chu Xun because of the order of life.
Chu Xun was a being derived from the order of life.
Lu Yun hadn’t seen through the heart of the matter before, but after seeing the woman’s lingering will, he derived where the little girl was from.
“I’m going to give her the last part of the order of life on me. Please protect her… when the order of life blossoms anew in the chief worlds is when we counterattack.”
