Chapter 566 – The Disaste

“No, I bear no guilt!” The Fuxi god’s atman laughed, “The Fuxi Celestial Race’s defeat is an unfair treatment from the heaven, if even the heaven is unjust, what sins do I have?”

“Fuxi, I say, you are guilty!” The beast clawed the Fuxi god and ate him. It then pointed toward another Fuxi god and asked again, “Do you plead guilty?”

Zhong Yue was expressionless, he looked around and noticed Mother Da Zhen hiding in the blind spot of the nefarious beast. He thought, So I’m right, Mother Da Zhen is also here even though she did not walk on the bridge.

Meanwhile, Mother Da Zhen’s eyes became filled with terror and her face was pallid as she looked at the human face, sheep body beast.

Then, she noticed Zhong Yue looking at her. The young man gave her a smile that made her think, This little brat, he really has gone crazy!

The trial continued, and the Fuxi gods were devoured one after another by the peculiar beast.

Soon after, it’s finger pointed toward Zhong Yue, asking the same question again, “Do you plead guilty?”

Zhong Yue smiled, he said, “Yes, I do.”

The peculiar beast was startled, it didn’t expect to hear such an answer. It quickly flipped the book in front of it on the table and suddenly, the peculiar beast gave a cold hum, “It’s you! Patriarch Nature has been looking for you! Patriarch Nature, I invite you to come over, the Fuxi you are looking for is here!”

The palace shook violently and it shattered into parts, revealing that the palace was floating in the air, there wasn’t anything out there other than an endless space of darkness.

A huge face slowly flew toward the palace and grew larger as it draws nearer. It was Patriarch Nature. He scrutinized Zhong Yue from tip to toe and smirked while saying, “Child, can you still escape from me now?”

“I already pled guilty, why would I still run away?” Zhong Yue raised his head and laughed back at Patriarch Nature, he said, “You can come and get me anytime you want.”

The face flew around him and said casually, “The Fuxi are all dead, how can you still be alive? I really do wonder very much. Well then, let me extract your soul and search through your memories…”

A huge hand suddenly appeared in the darkness but before it could reach to Zhong Yue, a wave of river water came out of nowhere and swallowed Zhong Yue along with Mother Da Zhen away.

When Zhong Yue came back to his senses again, he was still standing on the bridge. He shook his head while moving forward. Soon after, Mother Da Zhen held a pallid face and walked on the bridge following a distance behind Zhong Yue.

The bridge was long, it took awhile for the two of them to reach to the other end. When Zhong Yue stepped of the bridge, the darkness that obstructed his vision slowly faded away and the surroundings got clearer.

Mother Da Zhen also walked out from the bridge, she glanced around and startled, “It looks kind of familiar here…”

She was right, there was the divine gold mining site and a floor paved with skeletons and bones. Zhong Yue looked around for an eye and continued moving forward. Soon after, he suddenly stopped and looked at a pitch-black log, there was a little hole on it with divine gold glimmering faintly in it.

It was a divine tree that was fading in spiritual energy!

Zhong Yue inhaled deeply and walked forward. Mother Da Zhen quickly followed behind while the terror in her unwittingly caused her to walk closer to him. The more she looked around, the stronger the fear in her heart became.

Suddenly, she stared at the ground vacantly and exclaimed in a quivering voice, “Footsteps… my own footsteps…”

She looked behind and saw nothing but an endless darkness and the faint image of a bridge.

“Zhong Yue, we’ve been here before!” Mother Da Zhen shouted.

Zhong Yue looked back and realized, “Once you enter this gate, there will be no turning back. So it’s not saying that the city gate will be closed and stop you from leaving after you enter the city. Instead, it means that even if you reach he end of the road, there will still be no way to leave at all.”

“Once you enter this gate, there will be no turning back. And when disaster arrives, all that is left of you will only be your bones.” Zhong Yue thought of the sentence written on the city wall.

So it seems like the gods reached this stage and had been through the same situation they are in now, that’s why the gods left the words behind.

Nevertheless, Zhong Yue continued moving forward. Mother Da Zhen had no choice but to follow. Soon after, she was already walking right behind Zhong Yue, her body was shivering in fear.

And right at this moment, she saw a silhouette walking toward the City of Nature.

It was another Zhong Yue!

Whereas in front of that Zhong Yue, there was another Mother Da Zhen, the same her when she entered the City of Nature!

She witnessed herself walking toward the city!

Meanwhile, that Mother Da Zhen had already reached to the front of the city gate and she watched as her other self walked into the city. A cold chill traveled down her spine and she quickly shouted, “Don’t go in, don’t! It’s dangerous!”

She shouted at the top of her lungs. However, the other Zhong Yue and her other self seemed to be oblivious to her warnings.

After seeing herself walking into the City of Nature, the other Zhong Yue also arrived at the front of the city gate.

“Don’t go in—” she shouted while dashing toward the city gate.

But her efforts were fruitless, it was as if she was in a different dimension from them.

She shot past Zhong Yue but when she reached the city gate, the other Zhong Yue had already disappeared into the city. The mother god’s body was swaying to and fro, and suddenly, she collapsed to the ground.

Behind her, Zhong Yue walked over in a steady pace and stopped right in front of the city gate.

“There is nothing we can do now, we are all dead already!” Mother Da Zhen raised her head and gave a wry smile.

Zhong Yue was quiet, he looked at the gate and the bloody words written on one of the sharp teeths, “Danger, don’t enter. Run!”

The words were exactly the same as what he had seen before, not a single spot was different!

The skeletons in front of the city gate were laid out in the same pattern as well.

Mother Da Zhen sounded like a ghost, crying and yet laughing at the same time, “Zhong Yue, we are already dead now! We will never be able to leave anymore! All this hatred and enmity between us matters not anymore now. I will not seek revenge on you anymore…”

Zhong Yue ignored her, he was still looking at the city with interest.

All of a sudden, loud and infernal noises sounded out from behind them. Mother Da Zhen quickly looked back and saw the cold winds forming into a hurricane, along with the sands and hollers of war coming within the darkness!

There were the shadowy figures of war chariots and the war prisoners planted with divine herbs, the images of the Fuxi gods battling with the army of gods and the peculiar beast in the grand palace!

Everything they experienced in the City of Nature was rushing toward them from behind!

This was the ‘disaster’ the gods warned about, the final strange occurrence in the City of Nature, the ‘disaster’!

Before the ‘disaster’ was even close enough, Mother Da Zhen could already feel her mortal body rotting and her cultivation begin sucked into the sky!

“Finally, we don’t have to be tortured anymore…” Mother Da Zhen heaved a breath of relief, she laughed softly and said, “Zhong Yue, I never thought that I will die alongside with you, I guess fate really pulls us together.”

“Don’t worry, I am not dying, nor are you going to die.” Zhong Yue turned his head around and smiled warmly, then turning back again. He yelled softly and the Divine Wing Saber was cast into the sky. Altars emerged behind him and the images of gods on the altars bowed down together!

“Go!” the gods worshipped the saber and enhanced the power of the Divine Wing Saber to an immense level as it slashed toward the City of Nature!

The saber was like a flash of lightning, it jabbed on the gatehouse, which was also Patriarch Nature’s eyes!

Blood gushed out and sprinkled on the altars. Immediately, the altars were boosted in power and further enhanced the Divine Wing Saber. Countless Golden Feathery Peng Swords blasted out from the Divine Wing Saber and pulverized Patriarch Nature’s eye!

“It’s really pain!”

In front of them, the city gate abruptly closed and opened again, and a wave of strong gale blasted out from the city gate, “My eye—!”

The strong gale sent Zhong Yue along with the Divine Wing Saber and Mother Da Zhen back into the sky. They were blasted back but before they were swallowed by the darkness and killed by the strange phenomena behind them, the strong gale already blew and dispersed the ‘disaster’ for them.

Zhong Yue and Mother Da Zhen were launched back for over a hundred mile and before they landed on the ground, the City of Nature quaked violently and stood up as a giant.

One of the giant’s eyes was bleeding and blinded by Zhong Yue, it was covering the wounded eye with one of the hand.

Wong, wong, wong—

Sounds of buzzing repleted the surroundings as the light wheels emerged behind the giant’s body.

So I’m not wrong., Zhong Yue looked around. Now, they were suddenly back in the center of the City of Nature.

Mother Da Zhen glanced around and mumbled as if she lost her soul, “How… how did we…”

“It’s the Yuan Shen secret realms.” Zhong Yue answered, “He has six Yuan Shen secret realms, with the biggest one covering the whole city. The moment we step[ed into the city, we were in his first Yuan Shen secret realm. When the cold gale blew over, we are sent to the second Yuan Shen secret realm; there, he toyed and tortured us for some time before sending us back to the first Yuan Shen secret realm. After which, the mist sent us to the third Yuan Shen secret realm, we are toyed and sent back to the first Yuan Shen secret realm again. While that bottomless pit, it seemed like the Fuxi skeletons are the ones that sent us back to witness the ancient history when we were actually sent to his fourth Yuan Shen secret realm.”

Mother Da Zhen was stunned, she mumbled in disbelief, “Then it would be the jury and the grand palace, that is the fifth Yuan Shen secret realm? But where is the sixth?”

Zhong Yue replied, “The path we took to get here, that was the sixth Yuan Shen secret realm.”

“No, no!” Mother Da Zhen suddenly in disbelief, “It still doesn’t make sense! We met with so many gods in the battlefield, the battles and the gods, they are all real. You and I are both really wounded, it can’t be just illusions! It really did happen, I am sure!”
