Amid the desolate and ice-cold land of despair.

A black-clothed man was silently carrying a white-clothed female.

He blocked out the power of the nomological laws as well as the violent currents of chaos.

The White Spirit Snake should have been extremely resistant to being carried by him. However, because of a peculiar sense of safety, she forgot that she had to keep her distance from him. Instead, she was dazed as she gazed at the man before her.

"Senior… Are you the one who saved me?"

The White Spirit Snake blinked her bright and watery eyes as she asked this in curiosity.

The man sighed softly and replied, "Sorry, I can't save you…"

Boom!!!

A gaping black hole suddenly appeared in her chest.

The White Spirit Snake widened her eyes in shock as the terror of death flooded into her mind once more.

However, right at this moment, a warm and large hand pressed onto the black hole in her chest.

"You shouldn't die. I only wanted to exterminate the citizens of the Purple Star State. Moreover, you tried to prevent the Purple Star Civilization from crushing the heavens… You shouldn't die…" There was an indescribable warmth in the man's eyes.

The White Spirit Snake shuddered upon hearing this, and there was a look of astonishment on her face. "You… You said that you exterminated the citizens of the Purple Star State…? Are you…"

"I am the heavens. More precisely, I'm the Heavenly Darkness God," the man replied with a smile. His expression was gentle, and this was in stark juxtaposition to the violent destruction that had taken place just then.

"There's another way to save you. We can seal your power first, and then allow you to reincarnate… However, allow me to apologize in advance. I must seal your memories as well…"

The man placed his hand onto the White Spirit Snake's forehead.

The White Spirit Snake still wanted to say something, yet darkness had already flooded her vision. It wasn't long before she lost consciousness.

The man then activated a divine technique and transformed the White Spirit Snake into an egg, allowing her to escape from the karma-induced backlash of the Heavenly Dao.

With this done, he placed the egg onto a black lotus and tossed it into the boundless currents of chaos. It was unclear where the egg would float toward.

After completing this, the man retrieved the black sword from his back and started to examine it carefully.

"This was the weapon that almost killed me?

"Interesting… Apart from a heaven crushing power, this sword surprisingly possesses a heaven mending power as well… So it turns out that the Purple Star Civilization left a path of retreat… However, it is just too late for them to do anything with it…

"This is clearly a sword of destruction, yet it possesses the ability of salvation and the power to mend the heavens. Calling it the Heaven Crushing Sword is not entirely reflective of its abilities…

"Saints act according to their temperament, while the masses act according to their desires. Justice and evil are often just a thought apart. Why don't I call you Evil-Slaying? From now on, you're my sword."

Their memories were finally unlocked.

The memories that had been buried deep inside the Evil-Slaying Sword's mind were finally awakened, allowing it to recall everything.

Not only that, but the Dark Wing Emperor had also retrieved a black orb and projected the images that were recorded inside of it, allowing An Lin and Xu Xiaolan to also witness the heaven crushing actions of the Purple Star Civilization.

"This is what the Heavenly Darkness God handed us and told us to keep care of. He said that if we ever came across the Heavenly Darkness God in the future, we should show him the images that were recorded inside this black orb. At the same time, we should also allow him to inherit the Evil-Slaying Sword as well as this black orb."

Just like that, An Lin witnessed the entire process of the Purple Star Civilization's destruction.

In fact, he had even witnessed the appearance of the Heavenly Darkness God.

The Heavenly Darkness God in the recordings was like a gentle and jade-like prince. He was also extremely handsome, and his appearance was more so thirty percent similar to that of An Lin's.

"This…" The thing that shocked An Lin the most had still ended up happening.

The man in the recordings clearly wasn't him.

However, that man had referred to himself as the Heavenly Darkness God… What was going on?!

The Dark Wing Emperor looked at An Lin and said earnestly, "We think you're the reincarnation of the Heavenly Darkness God. You're a part of the Heavenly Dao, and you're the Heavenly Master that we should serve!"

"Reincarnation? In other words, I'm genuinely not a human? I was the Heavenly Darkness God who destroyed the entire Purple Star Civilizations and killed hundreds of billions of people?" An Lin murmured to himself.

Xu Xiaolan turned around to look at An Lin. Upon seeing his dazed and uneasy expression, she said in a gentle voice, "An Lin, I think you're still different from the Heavenly Darkness God. You're a genuine living being, while the Heavenly Darkness God has most likely used some kind of method to attach to your existence."

An Lin forced a smile upon hearing Xu Xiaolan's words of comfort.

He knew that things weren't as simple as Xu Xiaolan thought.

Whenever he consumed one-fifth of his life force, the power of darkness in the heavens would increase by one-fifth. This proved that his life force was indeed the Heavenly Dao of Darkness. In other words, he was darkness, not some human.

However, An Lin had already been mentally prepared for this, so he was only slightly dazed upon learning that this was indeed his true identity. It wasn't long before he came to his senses. He sighed and said, "I'm clearly the reincarnation of the Heavenly Darkness God, so why I am becoming uglier as I reincarnate?"

How handsome had he been in his previous life?

The Dark Wing Emperor was stunned. He had never seen anyone complain about themselves in such a manner before.

Xu Xiaolan had still wanted to console An Lin, yet upon hearing this, her face instantly turned bright red. After a long while, she finally managed to say, "I don't think that's true. I think the present you is the most handsome…"

M-hm, why did it seem like her words of comfort had gone off in a peculiar direction?

"Oh, that's right. There's still something else that I don't understand," An Lin suddenly said.

"Please go ahead, Heavenly Master," the Dark Wing Emperor said respectfully.

An Lin looked at the being, who had been extremely proud and haughty before but was extremely subservient now, and asked, "It wasn't darkness that created your tribe, so why do you recognize the Heavenly Darkness God as your master? Why not the Heavenly Light Goddess or Heavenly Life Goddess? What's your relationship with the Heavenly Darkness God?"

The Dark Wing Emperor couldn't help but stand up straighter upon hearing this. There was a hint of pride in his voice as he replied, "Our tribe has always viewed itself as the messenger of the heavens. We believed that we were the noblest tribe that would carry out the will of the heavens.

"However, this belief was never reflected in reality. This was until one day a genuine Heavenly God came to our land and handed us the Evil-Slaying Sword and the black orb. Along with these, he left us with a mission! It was at that moment that we realized… The firm belief that we had held onto for so long… was all true…!

"That's right, it was you, the Heavenly Darkness God, who came. It was you who recognized us, and it was you who said that you would become our master. We naturally agreed with joy and elation in our minds!"

An Lin sucked in a deep breath.

Xu Xiaolan's beautiful eyes also widened in astonishment.

There were people who were so willing to bow down to others in this world?

His explanation had sounded absurd, yet upon closer analysis, it appeared to be very logical.

In the mind of the Dark Wing Tribe, only the heavens were worthy of becoming their master. They were a tribe that was above all else but the heavens. Thus, they naturally had to seek out the heavens to become their master!

Everything became clear.

At this moment, all of the mysteries were finally unraveled.

Why the Evil-Slaying Sword was so freakishly powerful, why the Dark Wing Tribe had referred to him as master, why the White Spirit Snake had such special feelings toward him, why Bai Ling didn't have any memories…

All of these questions were finally answered.

For some reason, after learning of these, An Lin's state of mind started to become especially clear.

He felt a little happy. He wasn't happy because he had confirmed his identity, but he was happy because the people beside him hadn't betrayed him. Instead, they still treated him with honesty and sincerity.

This was already enough.

An Lin couldn't help but hold onto Little Xie's small and soft hand. He smiled and said, "Who would've thought that our karma had intertwined ten thousand years ago."

There was guilt and remorse on Little Xie's face as she looked up at An Lin. "You… You don't hate me? It was me who pierced a hole into the heavens, and it was me who wounded you…"

An Lin squeezed Little Xie's round and soft cheeks and said, "This isn't your fault. When a butcher uses his knife to kill a pig, will the pig blame the knife for its death?"

Xu Xiaolan interrupted him, saying, "An Lin, don't refer to yourself as a pig!"

An Lin: "???"

"Pffft…" Little Xie couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

She gazed at An Lin, and in a rare turn of events, she didn't swat An Lin's hands away.

The darkness that shielded them from the outside world vanished.

What appeared before An Lin was the several million members of the Dark Wing Tribe who were still half-kneeling on the ground.

An Lin cleared his throat before saying, "I agree to officially become your Heavenly Master!"

The members of the Dark Wing Tribe all shuddered upon hearing this.

They were shaking in excitement, and they shouted in unison, "Welcome back, Heavenly Master!

"We swear allegiance to Heavenly Master until death!

"Heavenly Master is undying, invincible, and eternal!"
