Chapter 797: The World’s Source
“After the Immortal End Day, the sealed Doors of the World were shackles for all immortal cultivators . After there was no hope of ascending and becoming immortal, as well as transcending the world, the rest could only wait for death . ”
Mo Qingge clutched her palm . She continued and said, “Back then, the immortal cultivators of the realms all went mad . In order to ascend and become immortal, they tried to force their way past the Doors of the World, even going as far as to plunder the World’s Source . ”
“The World’s Source?” That was another term that was unfamiliar to Mo Wen . “What was the World’s Source? Could it help the immortal cultivators ascend and become immortal?”
“I also don’t know specifically what the World’s Source was . However, in legends, those who obtained the World’s Source had a chance of breaking through the Doors of the World, sprouting wings, and becoming immortal . However, only the Source World contained the World’s Source . Hence, during the Middle Age, to obtain the World’s Source, immortal cultivators from various realms frenziedly surged into the Source World . Great earth-shattering wars occurred, almost destroying ninety-nine percent of the Source World’s space and nearly completely destroying the Source World . ”
Mo Wen drew a cold breath . The immortal cultivators that could not transcend this world had gone completely crazy . If the Source World was destroyed, that was the same as destroying themselves .
“This Source World that you know now was a speck of dust during the Primeval Age . However, this speck of dust is connected to the lives of all the living beings in all the realms . Do you know how those Inner worlds were formed? It was during the Middle Age, when those immortal cultivators battled and tore apart the spaces . Some spaces were completely destroyed, while some formed the Inner worlds like the mystery dimensions . ”
“Then why did those immortal cultivators leave the Source World in the end?”
Mo Wen had not expected that this world had actually gone through so much . As expected, it was a troubled world . The Middle Age was most likely a time when immortal cultivators dominated the Source World . However, in the Modern Age, from the earliest Zhou Dynasty, there were fewer legends related to immortal cultivators . Now, it was even more difficult to encounter an immortal cultivator; those that were active were all ordinary ancient martial art practitioners .
Mo Qingge coldly laughed and nonchalantly said, “No eggs will be unbroken when the nest is upset . At the end of the war, all the immortal cultivators realized that if they continued to destroy the Source World, they would all perish together . ”
“Did they give up on finding the World’s Source?” Mo Wen asked .
“Why would they? They merely shifted the battlefield . In reality, ever since the Middle Age began, the Great War between Realms has never ceased . It was just that the current Great War between Realms happened in the various large spaces and would did involve the Source World . Ten thousand years ago, the immortal cultivators of all the realms made a treaty . There would be a war every millennium, and the side that won could control the Source World for a millennium, but they could not destroy the Source World . This is how the Millennium Treaty came to be . The last time the Great War between Realms occurred, the Spirit Realm won . ”

“However, the World’s Source was too difficult to find . From the very beginning, no one has found enough of the World’s Source, hence no one could use it to break through the Doors of the World . It is just that the World’s Source is their last hope, hence everyone has never given up on it . ”
This world was already on the verge of the greatest danger and everyone was still frenziedly struggling .
“Could it be that this world is beyond saving?” Mo Wen could not help but ask .
“In theory, there is a way, and that is to once again open the Doors of the World . We can then gather all the realms and fuse them into a stable Source World . However, that is seemingly impossible . No one in this world can do it . ”
Dividing up the Source World was easy . Returning it to its original state was far more difficult . It would be difficult for even immortals to pull it off . Moreover, the Doors of the World had been sealed shut, so it was impossible for immortals to be born . Even if someone managed to obtain enough of the World’s Source and break through the Doors of the World, only one person would transcend; they would not be able to save this world .
“What’s the situation with the western world?” According to Mo Wen’s knowledge, the western world seemed to possess strong powers .
“The western world? They are just uncivilized barbarians . Back then, the Nine State Continent had a few areas of barren wilderness around it that also managed to survive by luck . These areas were not part of the Nine State Continent . At the same time, they did not catch the eye of the large immortal cultivator factions . Hence, they were left to fend for themselves and developed into the western world of today . However, these uncivilized barbarians liked to imitate the Nine State Continent, dividing their western world into realms like Heaven and Hell . ”
The corners of Mo Qingge’s mouth curled into a disdainful grin . She seemed to look down on the western world’s strong practitioners and saw them as uncivilized barbarians .
“However, in the last ten thousand years or so, the western world has accumulated quite a lot of power . They are attempting to intervene in the search for the World’s Source . They are certainly ambitious, but they do not understand their own strength . ”
There were many factions in the western world, each with various rules and races . However, even if they were united they would most likely not be a match for any of the realms of the Nine State Continent . Whether or not they could find the World’s Source was the immediate problem, not contending for it .

“Right now, all I’m interested in finding out is a way to rescue Shen Jing,” Mo Wen said as he took a deep breath . He was no messiah . He was not interested in the survival of the worlds . He only wanted to get Shen Jing back .
“I’ve already explained this world’s situation clearly to you . Shen Jing must be in the Underworld now . The Underworld is at least as big as the entire Milky Way . If you want to save her, you must first enter the Underworld . However, with your current ability, that is seemingly impossible . Hence, I suggest you practice diligently . Once you’ve completed your training, then you can rescue your lover . ” Mo Qingge looked at Mo Wen calmly .
“How can I enter the Underworld?”
“If you can begin your immortal cultivation by practicing martial arts, after becoming immortal, the Huatian Palace will recommend you, and you will have a chance to ascend to the Spirit Realm from the Source World . The Spirit Realm has a passageway that leads to the Underworld . However, I advise you to give up, because the passageway from the Spirit Realm to the Underworld is fraught with danger . I am not even confident in making it through those passageways alive . ”
“Moreover, Emperor Wu You is the personal guard of the legendary God of the Underworld . He is even more powerful than ordinary supernatural beings . If you want to rescue someone from his hands, you have to weigh the situation up carefully . ” Mo Qingge shook her head . Wanting to enter the Underworld was already enough, let alone rescuing someone from the hands of Emperor Wu You . It was a seemingly impossible task .
Even the few Spirit Realm old ancestors who were still alive would most likely be unable to rescue someone from the hands of Emperor Wu You in the Underworld, let alone Mo Wen,
“She is my lover, hence no matter what challenges I might face, I will not give up . Be it a day, a year, a decade or a century, I will rescue her one day . Thank you for telling me all this . Farewell . ”
Mo Wen also did not say anything else . He saluted with his fists and turned to leave . He knew that right now, talking about all this was still too far off . If he wanted to rescue Shen Jing, he needed to be powerful enough, hence, right now, what he should be doing was practicing, diligently practicing, and practicing non-stop .
“I am somewhat impressed with him,” Mo Qingtian exclaimed as he gazed at Mo Wen’s silhouette . To know that the matter was impossible, and yet be willing to strive for it, showed that this person had extraordinary willpower and determination .
“I don’t know why, but I always have a strange feeling that whatever he wants to do, he will eventually be able to . It is something extraordinary that I can’t describe . ”

Mo Qingge looked deeply at the sea of clouds . She had taken care of Mo Wen many times, not just because Mo Wen had helped her before, but also because of this strange feeling .
“Do you truly believe that he can snatch someone from the hands of Emperor Wu You?” Mo Qingtian rolled his eyes at her . “And by the way, do you know what is so special about Shen Jing? Why would Emperor Wu You come all this way to the Source World to kidnap her?” Mo Qingtian asked as he frowned . He could not figure out why, regardless of how hard he thought about it .
“It’s hard to tell . I fear the worst-case scenario will appear . ” Mo Qingge sighed softly .
“What is the worst-case scenario?” Mo Qingtian asked curiously .
“The God of the Underworld has returned . ” Mo Qingge uttered each word carefully . Her expression was totally serious .
“What?” Mo Qingtian completely lost his cool . The God of the Underworld returning? How was that possible?
The God of the Underworld was just a legend . She had existed during the end of the Ancient Age and experienced the catastrophe of the Immortal End Day . She later led all of the underworld immortal cultivators on the Nine State Continent to establish the Underworld, obtaining the title of God of the Underworld .
How could someone of that Age live until now? Moreover, in the legends, the God of the Underworld was severely injured during the catastrophe of the Immortal End Day . Not long after she established the Underworld, she passed on .
“Even during the Ancient Age, the God of the Underworld was a legend . Others may not have been able to do so, but she could . In the legends, before the Immortal End Day, the God of the Underworld’s cultivation was enough for her to sprout wings and become immortal, but she suppressed her cultivation, delaying her ascension . It was because, at that time, she had already come in contact with the Heaven’s Path of Reincarnation . If she could completely reach enlightenment of the Heaven’s Path of Reincarnation and then ascend, she would certainly become King of Immortals . ”
“Unfortunately, fate toys with people . The Immortal End Day came and the God of the Underworld was severely injured beyond saving . The Doors of the World were shut and no one could ascend . A generation of proud sons of heaven was stuck in the Underworld, falling from grace ever since . However, in the legends, the God of the Underworld’s cultivation was exceedingly high and she did not fall from grace . Instead, she used the power of the Heaven’s Path of Reincarnation to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation . Every million years she would be reincarnated once . After being reincarnated a hundred times, she could break free from the shackles of mortality and return once again . ”
Mo Qingge’s voice was very serious . After being reincarnated for billions of years, how frightening would the God of the Underworld that returned be?
“That is just a legend . Who knows whether it is true or not? The chances are far too slim . ” Mo Qingtian kept shaking his head . This sort of thing was practically unbelievable . At the same time, he did not want to believe it .
“Did you not notice that when Emperor Wu You looked at that woman, his eyes had an unusual look of reverence? That look of humility in his eyes was like that of a servant towards their own master . In the whole world, aside from the legendary God of the Underworld, who else is qualified for Emperor Wu You to call them master? Also, if we calculate the timing, since the God of the Underworld passed on, it has almost been 100 million years . It is coincidentally her hundredth reincarnation . ”
Mo Qingtian felt a chill down his back . Although his sister seemed to be making it up, he knew that Mo Qingge was certainly not a person who spoke carelessly . If she could say such things, there certainly was some basis to what she was saying .
In the event that the God of the Underworld was truly resurrected, that was practically…
“No matter whether it is true or false, we must immediately report this to the Spirit Realm’s Executive Palace Hall . I hope everything is just my speculation . ”
