Heaven Slaying Blade

Chu Mo's heart was very calm; he wasn't filled with rage, nor was he wallowing in self-pity. Life is like this, and so is the world of the gods. There aren't too many rights and wrongs, only what I want to do and what I don't want to do.

For Chu Mo, his world is not to be destroyed or damaged. Therefore, if someone oppresses him, he will naturally rise up to resist. Even if the final result is like an ant trying to move a tree or a mantis attempting to stop a chariot, he won't regret it.

This cosmos void is too decayed; Chu Mo has been walking for a very long time without discovering a single hint of life. Looking back, the space filled with countless continental fragments was already out of sight.

The road ahead is vast, and he feels lost in all directions.

Chu Mo spreads his divine sense, searching in the endless void. He has no clue how to find the primordial god's primary spirit, and no confidence at all.

Thus, Chu Mo continues searching.

Years may have passed directly. However, here, the space is already shattered, and time has long since frozen. So, Chu Mo knows clearly in his heart that this is a dead world. Even if he searches here for a million years, for the outside world, not even an hour will have passed.

Time flies.

In a flash, Chu Mo has walked in this decaying universe void for many years.

If counted by Pangu years, at least hundreds of thousands of years should have passed.

This space is simply too vast, immeasurable, and there is no end in sight.

Another million years passed, and Chu Mo felt very fatigued in his heart. He wanted to stop and rest but couldn't halt his steps.

In this way, he continued searching.

He wanted to find that answer; he wanted to preserve his world.

He did not believe that the primordial god's primary spirit had completely perished.

There must be some trace left, right?

People leave their marks; gods even more so. Even if he truly died all those years ago, there should still be something left in this world.

Another million years passed. Chu Mo, with his powerful computation abilities, could clearly remember every day in this shattered world.

He was now a boundless distance from that original temple. Even if he wanted to return to find that temple, it would be immensely difficult. Although he could find it, it would at least require millions of years of time.

In front of him, a shadow of a continent finally appeared.

Chu Mo hadn't seen anything for hundreds of thousands of years.

Here, there is only decay!

Only death!

Seeing the shadow of this continent, Chu Mo unexpectedly felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

It was that obsession deep within his heart that supported him, relentlessly seeking in this world without giving up. Because Chu Mo knew clearly in his heart, once he gives up, it truly means giving up. With a single thought, he could retreat back to the Five Great Heavens' world.

But if he did, it would mean abandoning that one piece of obsession in his heart.

He is not someone who gives up easily, at least not concerning this matter.

Chu Mo didn't even probe with his divine sense, but instead, flew directly towards the continent ahead.

In this decaying universe, there wasn't a single glimmer of light. So here, there was only endless darkness. With a thought, Chu Mo caused a beam of light to shine from the sky.

That light, though arising from nothing, was very bright!

That light was actually the light in Chu Mo's heart!

God said: Let there be light!

Thus, there was light in this world.

The light illuminated the continent, a vast place whose end was out of sight.

Similarly, it was very decayed, full of a sense of decay and desolation. Wherever one looked, there were unending divides. It was as if life had never existed here.

But Chu Mo saw ancient riverbeds here, and he also saw fossils with signs of life. He gently squatted down, picked up a fossil, and looked at it seriously. This fossil seemingly belonged to a creature only found in the ocean.

Then, Chu Mo discovered many such fossils scattered throughout this area.

This indicated that this place was once an ancient ocean.

Afterward, Chu Mo continued walking and discovered traces of ancient forests. Those once towering mountain ranges were now gone, leaving only stretches of barren hills. Apart from that, nothing else remained.

Chu Mo still did not give up; in fact, he had already learned many things he wanted to know here.

People leave their marks; Chu Mo's cultivation was deep, and he could trace back many events that had happened here from these fossils.

This place was once a bright, vibrant great world!

There were giants in the sea endowed with incredible cultivation. In the mountains were predatory birds and beasts, equally unparalleled.

This continent left no traces of the Human Clan, but it resembled a pure land specially belonging to various birds and beasts.

Chu Mo continued walking.

Finally, he arrived at the central region of this continent, and then his gaze froze.

In front of him, at the central region of this ancient continent, there was an area of black soil about a zhang around. On this piece of black soil, grew a plant over a foot tall.

This plant was entirely emerald green, as if carved from jade, without any aura emitting from it, making it seem like an artificial plant. Because on it, there was nothing that could be described as vitality.

But on Chu Mo's face, a long-lost smile finally appeared.

He had been striving for this day for millions of years!

Just to find such a trace of life in this world.

Even though it was not a primordial spirit, at least it could indicate an issue and give Chu Mo a glimmer of hope.

Because it allowed Chu Mo to confirm that despite this world becoming so broken, despite it being filled with decay, despite not finding a trace of vitality for millions of years. Yet... life still existed!

Chu Mo carefully approached it, as if afraid to disturb it.

Soon, Chu Mo reached the black soil, and unexpectedly, the black soil here still retained moisture. It looked wet, as if it had just rained here.

Chu Mo extended his hand, gently touching this black soil. A faint breath of life was directly transmitted through Chu Mo's fingers.

Then, Chu Mo began to closely observe this green plant standing over a foot tall.

It had a main stem, three branches, and each branch bore a verdant leaf.

The patterns on the leaves were peculiar, Chu Mo had never seen such strange leaf patterns. The patterns seemed to be woven from the runes of the Great Dao. If not looked at closely, there was no particular feeling. But if observed carefully, one could feel immeasurably strong Dao resonance from them!

Subsequently, Chu Mo took out some refined water from his body, letting the water condense into a water sphere, and then gently poured it over the green plant.

Then, something surprising happened.

This plant... began to wither!

It withered and declined so rapidly, leaving no time to react.

Just like snow under intense light, it almost instantly... melted into a pool of water. This green plant also turned into void in the shortest time.

Chu Mo's expression remained calm; he seemed to show no surprise. Then, he reached out and lightly dug at the root of the plant. In the next moment... a seed appeared in his palm.

This seed was entirely silver-white, and at the moment Chu Mo dug it out of the soil, it suddenly emitted endless vitality!

This vitality rapidly swept over the solitary, bleak... decay-filled continent, and then... the entire continent instantly burst into vigorous life. Countless grasses and trees... sprouted from the ground.

Their growth was incredibly fast, visibly growing upward.

The beam of light in the sky also began to emit warmth, illuminating the land.

Then, the originally decaying aura on this land also began to retreat quickly, diminishing nonstop, and soon... completely vanished.

Although no other creatures appeared here, it was already entirely covered by this green plant!

Various grasses, various flowers, various trees... low shrubs, the most common and ordinary trees in the world, and some immense sky-piercing trees!

They all grew out at that instant.

Simultaneously, this vitality continued to charge in all directions.

Where it passed, although the entire universe remained dark, the decaying aura there was thoroughly swept away!

And the silver-white seed in Chu Mo's hand was still exuding terrifying vitality. The vitality was so intense that even Chu Mo's tired spirit was instantly restored by it.

To restore a god's spirit in this way requires... more than just a small amount of energy; it requires an unimaginable massive amount of energy!

But to this seed, these seem to be no problems at all.

Chu Mo took a deep breath, knowing he had found the answer!

Whether this seed was left by the primordial god or not, it was no longer important.

The important thing was, he had found this seed.

This was a seed that represented the hope of an endless myriad of beings. It was not a tangible life form, but a symbol, a spirit!

As long as it exists, then even if the world becomes horribly broken, even if the entire world is filled with decay.

One day, it will still break through the earth, still allow the world to be shrouded in the light of hope again.

Yes, as long as there is hope, there will be a future.

The greatest fear in the world of living beings is not destruction, but losing hope.

Chu Mo stood there, with a faint smile on his face, then he bent down and planted the silver-white seed back into the black soil.

Then, with a flash of his figure, he directly disappeared from this universe.

In the divine temple far away, within the blood pool, bubbling began. Then, the blood figure surfaced again.

His face was full of incredulity, his eyes filled with profound shock.

He murmured to himself, "Did he really find it? Incredible, absolutely incredible!"
