NOVPUBChapter 1021: Chapter 1021: Divine Maiden Yanran Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: Divine Maiden Yanran Chu Yuan understood.
He had already figured out where the Divine was, and how it existed—in every corner of heaven and earth, the Divine had merged with the universe.
However, it was not the time for the Divine to appear, but rather a time to wait for the great calamity of reincarnation.
“Why does cosmic reincarnation occur?”
Chu Yuan also pondered and arrived at his own conclusion.
Each cycle of reincarnation meant certain death for those below the undying.
It was meant to be a cleansing.
Over prolonged periods, a plethora of powerful beings burdened the universe, necessitating a destructive cyclical cataclysm that annihilated everyone, returning them to chaos.
The undying and the Sovereign, having no end to their lifespan, could not be eradicated by ordinary means; therefore, a great calamity would occur sporadically, specifically to eliminate the undying and the Sovereign.
And with each reincarnation, the power of the universe seemed to grow stronger as it harvested the lives of others to empower itself.
During this process, he speculated that a transformation had occurred.
Of course, Chu Yuan had not experienced cosmic reincarnation himself. Seeing is believing, and only through personal experience would one truly understand.
Now, he could precisely foresee when the universe would undergo reincarnation, still an extremely distant time away, calculated in eons.
He turned and left the Divine Capital; mere cultivation was no longer of any use to him.
His realm had reached the limits possible within this universe; without breaking the universe’s bindings, he could never advance further.
He observed the grandeur of the entire Divine Dynasty. Over long periods, numerous masters emerged like bamboo after the rain, and some attained Sovereignty, such as Lu Qianfu, Li Jianqing, and the Earth Demon God.
Yet, he felt many in the Divine Dynasty had become complacent, their fighting spirits dulled by the peaceful years.
Chu Yuan was not surprised; they no longer had any opponents. The universe was under the rule of the Divine Dynasty, tranquility pervaded everything, and with no goals or rivals, how could they not grow complacent?
“The Divine Martial is not the true Sovereign of the universe but merely a temporary guardian. Without breaking the cycle, there are only nine reincarnations, far too brief.”
Chu Yuan muttered to himself.
At that moment, sensing cosmic space-time, he suddenly went to a place, quickly arriving in a silent area, utterly tranquil. Ahead of him stood an ancient colossal tower, emitting strands of chaotic energy.
“Thirty-Three Heavens Tower.”
Chu Yuan gazed at the tower.
He was no longer the person he had been years ago. Viewing this tower in this place was akin to constructing an independent area, like the other shore of the Divine Boat.
He could tell that this tower was a terrifyingly formidable Divine Artifact, no weaker than the other shore of the Divine Boat, and even harbored an even more terrifying true essence.
“Divine Maiden.”
Chu Yuan called into the tower.
“It’s you who has come.”
After a while, the Divine Maiden’s voice gradually emerged, the tower shone, creating a pathway allowing Chu Yuan inside.
It was the first time he had heard the Divine Maiden speak.
Previously, the Divine Maiden had never spoken, seemingly unwilling to interact with some people, yet she spoke to Chu Yuan, perhaps because they had met in the eternal world, or maybe because he had become the mightiest being in the universe.
However, the Divine Maiden’s voice was not as clear and melodious as imagined; it was instead quite harsh, like a knife-like cold wind brushing against the ears, exceptionally cold.
Chu Yuan stepped into the tower and looked around. It was different from his time in the eternal world, seemingly transforming into a complete universe, a formidable Divine Artifact.
His gaze fell on a woman sitting cross-legged amidst chaotic flows, expressionlessly.
It seemed the Divine Maiden had let him in because Chu Yuan could find her whereabouts.
“Divine Martial.”
The Divine Maiden’s voice, devoid of any emotion, said indifferently, “Years change, times reincarnate. It feels like in the blink of an eye, this universe has its unifier, welcoming a new Sovereign. You are impressive.”
“I am hardly a Sovereign; I haven’t even mastered the cycles of heaven and earth.”
Chu Yuan smiled at her, as though meeting a strangely familiar old friend.
Seeing the Divine Maiden, he instantly knew that her cultivation was extraordinarily high, difficult for him to see through, seemingly already possessing a high realm, and appearing to be slowly recovering.
“There has been a change in this universe, the heavens gave birth to their own will, and it developed its own thought. This is a disaster, no longer just the impartial operation of its own rules.”
Divine Maiden said,
She was also looking at Chu Yuan.
“I have guessed some things, but many matters will only be unveiled when the cosmic cycle recurs, and I, too, will like the gods, preemptively trigger the great calamity of the cycle.” 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
Chu Yuan said, “You do not belong to this universe.”
“That is not important.”
Divine Maiden said.
“Divine Maiden, what is your name, where do you come from?”
Chu Yuan suddenly asked.
“What is my name?”
The Divine Maiden became wooden, her expression somewhat bewildered and hazy, as if a sealed memory had been mentioned.
After a long time, she briefly said, “The Thirty-Three Heavens, the Ancient Origin Heaven, who I am again seems to be called Yanran, my power is damaged, some memories are sealed, I cannot think clearly.”
“Yanran.”
Chu Yuan nodded, indeed it was a very pleasant name.
He could certainly tell that Divine Maiden Yanran was not in a complete state, there was something missing.
Her current condition was strange, just as she said, some memories seemed lost, related to her experiences.
“Where is Ancient Origin Heaven?” Chu Yuan asked.
“Ancient Origin Heaven is no more, I do not know why I came to this universe.”
Divine Maiden coldly said, “The ancient Thirty-Three Heavens, the Ancient Origin Heaven has been removed.”
“You do not remember not because you cannot, but because you do not want to, some things will not disappear just because you want them to.”
Chu Yuan and the Divine Maiden sat facing each other.
Her mood was not at all wavering, but rather she remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, “Let everything take its natural course, I was not supposed to awaken, it was a mysterious force that roused me, otherwise I would have remained asleep.”
“My power?” Chu Yuan said, “I thought the Divine Maiden would not speak, but unexpectedly, you have spoken so much to me today.”
“You have a familiar power, exactly what it is, in my sealed memories.”
Divine Maiden said.
She spoke to Chu Yuan also because of that power.
“The power that makes Divine Maiden Yanran speak to me.”
Chu Yuan pondered.
After a while, he suddenly realized.
The Human Emperor Sword!
The supreme power of the Path of the Human Emperor, with the Human Emperor Sword, he is the Emperor of the Human Path.
If it were not for the supreme aura of the Human Path, the Divine Maiden would not only refrain from speaking to him, but she would not even allow him into the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower.
Some mysteries were unveiled, also due to this power, Divine Maiden Yanran spoke quite a bit to him.
“What does the Thirty-Three Heavens represent again?”
Chu Yuan asked again.
“The multi-universe, the thirty-three oldest and most powerful heavens, as one heaven falls, a new one takes its place, but the number of the Thirty-Three Heavens remains forever unchanged.”
Divine Maiden spoke.
“I understand now.”
Chu Yuan said.
Subsequently, Chu Yuan did not ask anything more of Divine Maiden Yanran, the two sat facing each other inside the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower, neither speaking again, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere.
Divine Maiden Yanran entered a state of cultivation, also ignoring Chu Yuan, it was the aura of the Human Emperor that evoked many of her memories.
“Divine Maiden, your answers have taught me much.”
Chu Yuan left the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower, did not return to Divine Capital, but in an instant moved to the Divine Catastrophe Star.
