Chapter 735 - Wiping Out Their Memories, The Snow Globe
Chapter 735: Wiping Out Their Memories, The Snow Globe
It was the war of the century.
The Nine Elites faced the catastrophe head-on. One bloody battle after another turned into a tragic song between heaven and earth. In the Chaos, the sound of beating war drums never ceased, shaking heaven and the earth.
Even the Eldritchs had no choice but to retreat under the unparalleled force of the Nine Elites. They even chased the Eldritchs into the Chaos Ocean and did not stop until they killed all of the second-step Wisdom Elites and many other skilled fighters.
However, without giving the Nine Elites a chance to take a breather, wisps of gray mist filled with the unknown began to flow out from the corpses of the second-step Wisdom Elites. The aura of the corpses suddenly became extremely strange; it was filled with violence and unknown. This unknown aura made the River of Time violent, and the huge waves surged into the sky.
“Their bodies are smoking. When did they attain the ability of corpse transformation?”
“What the heck is that? It’s attached to their bodies.”
“This aura’s making me feel uncomfortable.”
“Show yourself, you coward!”
The Nine Elites were not prepared to give the gray mist a chance, and they used their magic power to purify the gray mist, but they were not able to do so. Soon, the weird gray mist condensed into an eye in the sky, an eye full of ruthlessness. The eye looked down contemptuously and coldly at the Nine Elites.
It was as if the eye was able to see that the world was born out of destruction, controlling life and death, representing supreme status. Just a glance of this eye made the Nine Elites’ minds go blank and their Dao Hearts began to tremble.
“Hello, my name’s Heaven…”
In their hearts, a demon’s voice sounded, allowing them to blend in with the gray mist, to control the seventh dimension, reach eternity, and become the clones of Heaven! The devil was whispering, making the Nine Elites all confused, and some of them began to walk toward the gray mist involuntarily.
Suddenly, a figure stepped out! It turned into a white phantom and immediately appeared in front of that eye. It was the Soul Master! She had no sorrow or joy on her face. Her eyes were as radiant as rainbows and she had a supreme posture. She charged toward the eye and raised her hand to point at it!
“Everything and anything, smelt thyself!” A majestic and decisive voice came out of her mouth. The endless Wisdom around them turned into a vortex that converged toward the Soul Master. At the same time, the eye of the gray mist began to twist as it was quickly drawn out and gathered toward the Soul Master.
“What are you doing?” shouted Heaven with surprise. “You’re not a match for me! Die!”
The Soul Master said nothing. She was shrouded in Wisdom. The endless light was like the sun, reflecting the chaos and suppressing the mist. The other Eight Elites were shocked back to their senses and there were looks of horror in their eyes. They looked at the Soul Master in unison and had already guessed what she did, their faces were full of anxiety and their eyes were slightly red.
“What is this thing? It’ll definitely cause chaos if it spreads.”
“Soul Master, don’t be rash. There must be another way!”
“This gray mist is filled with the power of the unknown. It’s enough to make people go astray.”
“We’re all beings from the seventh dimension. Let us share your burden!”
“No, stop! You cannot do it alone.”
In the hands of the Soul Master, the unknown gray mist kept twisting in place like it was being trapped in a cage. It could not break free and could only be absorbed by the Soul Master.
Heaven smirked. “Hahaha! Since you have such great courage, I’ll fulfill your wish. Do you think it’s enough to seal me in your body? I’ll use you to subvert the entire seventh dimension and you’ll surely regret this!”
The unknown gray mist flipped sharply, and then condensed into a grimace, rushing directly to the Soul Master. It wrapped her up and incorporated her mana. The hair of the Soul Master gradually turned from black to gray. Her pupils also began to turn gray and a strange aura began to flow from her body.
Suddenly, the Soul Master performed a hand seal before she then slashed at the void! This slash contained the power of heaven and earth, creating chaos wherever it would land. It was a shocking ultimate spell and it seemed that it had not cut anything, but in fact, it had cut off the cause and effect of oneself!
At the same time, it also included the other half of oneself! Soon, the weird gray mist disappeared and two Soul Masters were standing in place. One was still the same, with the light of divinity shining all over the body, and the other was gray-haired and gray-eyed. Waves of terrifying ripples followed her every breath. The Soul Master had actually used an incredible ultimate spell to successfully separate the unknown gray fog from herself and divided it into two clones!
“Impressive, truly impressive! You’re the most powerful person second only to the Seven Battle Guardian Spirits I’ve ever seen!” The gray-haired Soul Master looked at the black-haired Soul Master with pure admiration in his eyes. “If you cooperate with me, I’ll make you the most powerful person under Heaven!”
“The seven dimensions don’t need the most powerful person. It needs peace!” The black-haired Soul Master was unmoved. She took a step toward the gray-haired Soul Master, and raised her hand, wanting to suppress the gray-haired Soul Master.
“Heaven, is it? I’ve been cultivating for eons and have always held the belief that one needs to defy heaven to improve. Now, I’m finally going against Heaven!”
“Hahaha, count me in! I have a technique called ‘Seal the Heaven’! Let’s see if it’s worthy of the name!” The other Eight Elites followed the Soul Master and surrounded the gray-haired Soul Master.
It was a fierce battle. The gray-haired Soul Master possessed the same cultivation level and ultimate spells as the Soul Master. At the same time, it was contaminated with the power of Heaven whose strength was rapidly becoming stronger with the passage of time.
The turbulence of Wisdom in the Chaos Ocean was shaken up, and the atmosphere of the endless Wisdom was raging. In the end, although the Nine Elites shattered the gray-haired Soul Master, they also suffered indelible trauma. Their Origins of Life began to fade away and their auras became disordered as they came to the end of their lives.
“Hehe, you’re about to die and I’ll never die! Surrender to me and you’ll live on to gain super far-reaching powers at the same time!” Although the gray-haired Soul Master was annihilated, the unknown gray mist still existed. It was sealed up by an ultimate spell and was rolling around like a cloud.
The Soul Master wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Her glow was dimming, and her aura was extremely weak. She first contained the unknown gray mist in her body. Then, she cut off the other half of herself. Her strength was greatly reduced and she fought against the gray-haired Soul Master again. She had been reduced to her weakest.
However, she still exuded an authoritative demeanor. She performed another hand seal, and an indescribably terrifying coercion burst into the air from her body. A cloud of golden light skyrocketed, surrounding the unknown gray mist, forming a weird pattern, distorting time and space.
“You can even use the Power of Time-Space?!” The unknown grey mist screamed in horror and disbelief.
The Soul Master ignored it. Her face was unprecedentedly solemn and she said lightly, “Lend your power to me!”
Without hesitation, the other Eight Elites channeled their mana to her.
“Take time and space here as the boundary, seal the years and forbid eternity!” The majestic voice of the Soul Master was heard and time and space abided by her orders. The seal pattern dazzled like a rainbow as it devoured the unknown gray mist little by little.
“No! No! How can you use the Power of Time-Space? You’re all on the brink of death. Don’t you want to live? I can help you live! No seal in the world can ban me forever. Mark my words, I’ll be back!” The unknown gray mist roared with frustration.
This seal of the Soul Master was extremely overbearing; it had transcended the boundaries of time and space, sealing the cloud of undesirable gray mist inside of not just space, but time and space!
It was truly terrifying, and if nothing else, this seal would never be found by others. After sealing the gray mist, the Soul Master became even more unsteady on her feet. “We need to wipe out this memory,” she said suddenly.
The other Eight Elites were stunned, but then they quickly returned to their carefree state.
“The enchantment of Heaven’s like a seed planted in the heart. The best thing for us to do is to forget it completely.”
“This secret is indeed the safest only if we don’t have the memory of it.”
“For the peace of the seven dimensions, this memory mustn’t be kept.”
They instantly understood what the Soul Master was trying to achieve. They might not be tempted by the power and eternity mentioned by Heaven this time, but who of them could guarantee it would be the same in the future?
What’s more, they were already dying. God forbid if anyone decided to perform a soul peek into their memories at this time so the best thing was to completely forget about it! Only then could the seal be considered flawless.
“Come, let us all wipe out this memory.” Immediately, the Nine Elites raised their hands together and completely erased this memory of their own without hesitation.
After this battle, the Nine Elites were no longer able to face the follow-up offensive of the Eldritchs. Everyone thought that the Nine Elites fell by the Eldritchs when in fact, it was Heaven who did it.
The Soul Master watched the moving images on the screen silently. At that time, she was in the midst of a catastrophe. To prevent disasters, she asked the Nine Elites to wipe off the memories together. But now, she needed to look for the memories to make full preparations.
What was the relationship between the Eldritchs and Heaven?
Her expression suddenly changed and she turned to look at Elite King. Her pupils shrank sharply when she saw a faint grey mist was silently surrounding him. It was sealed in that time and space, and at this time, she and the Elite King were also in that time and space!
In addition, the Elite King was made into a Divine Zombie, his memory was lacking, his Dao Heart was unsteady, so it was easy for the unknown gray mist to find a chance to infiltrate his body.
“Didn’t I say that I’d be back? Hahaha!” The voice of Heaven was filled with sarcasm and madness.
“Destroy Everything Into Silence!” The Soul Master’s face darkened and she immediately pointed at Elite King.
Elite King trembled, let out a long howl, and bombarded the Soul Master with a punch!
The River of Time shook, and the space-time barrier immediately rippled. Elite King’s body was immediately blasted away and his entire arm was cracked. However, an unknown gray mist overflowed from his wound and healed it. Then, he fled away from the River of Time without looking back. The Soul Master wasted no time in chasing after him.
Meanwhile, back at the four-part architecture, Li Nianfan was lying on the rocking chair and reading the newspaper from Heavenly Palace after coming back from Jiang Liu’s place.
Beside him, Xiao Bai was conscientiously fanning him with a folding fan.
While reading the newspaper, he sighed with anxiety. “Now, even the third dimension has popped after the fourth dimension! All this is making me feel a lot of pressure.”
The Heavenly Palace people had been investigating and recording some recent changes in the newspaper so that Li Nianfan could relieve his boredom by reading it.
It was not difficult to see from all the news that after the opening up of portals, many skilled fighters, especially those from the third dimension, had shown their true colors. They probably had been holding back for too long and could no longer control themselves anymore.
For example, after coming out of the third dimension, there was a Seal Demon who went on a rampage in the seventh dimension. Even though it was a Wisdom Elite, it was still not strong enough in the third dimension, so it had been suppressed by the others for a long time.
It was filled with indescribable excitement when it came to the seventh dimension and the first thing it did was to let himself loose amongst the female demons. Those who did not do what it said were killed.
Soon, it came to the Area of the Gods and had its eyes on the Demon Palace established by Little Fox. It planned to make all the female demons there a part of its harem. This undoubtedly provoked the Heavenly Palace, and thus it was destroyed by the people from the Heavenly Palace.
Just this morning, the seal’s fresh corpse was delivered along with this newspaper.
“It must’ve been hard on the seal. It had been itself holding back for countless years. Poor thing. After all, from where I came from, a male seal has to mate with hundreds of female seals.” Li Nianfan glanced at the corpse of the seal and then said, “But then again, the seal is indeed a good thing, especially suitable for making a seal pill.”
At this moment, Daji opened the door and walked in. In her hands was a block of ice, and frozen in it was the unknown gray mist that had merged with the Origins of the fourth dimension.
Li Nianfan looked at the block of ice and said with a smile, “Little Daji, the snow globe you’re holding sure is pretty and the picture seems to be moving!”
The gray mist was trapped inside the ice, blooming into a special shape now and then in a bid to escape. In Li Nianfan’s view, the block of ice was the same as the snow globe he so often saw in his previous life. The transparent glass ball had a picture in it and it would change with a shake.
Daji smiled wryly internally and thought to herself, “That’s my Master. To him, Heaven’s just a small globe.”
Li Nianfan immediately picked a place for it and said with a smile, “It’s perfect as a decoration. Just put it in the center of the table over there.”
