Chapter 1220 - 1220 67 What is the Illusory Silkworm

Chapter 1220: Chapter 67 What is the Illusory Silkworm? Chapter 1220: Chapter 67 What is the Illusory Silkworm? Everyone was overjoyed beyond expectation!

Just as everyone was worrying about not having subjects for their experiments, the little pine tree actually captured a few!

Even the weakest ones caught could provide something for everyone to study.

Instantly, the three weak god spirits captured by the little pine tree were carefully received by the people of Nine Colors as priceless treasures.

“Quick, send people to explore and experiment with combat methods!”

“If necessary, let these god spirits possess someone to test their power…”

Such statement was enormously inhumane.

For it was inevitable that there would be sacrifices.

But Qing Ming, the great master, spoke smoothly,

Because… apart from this, there was no other way.

Then, everyone followed Feng Yin, broke the seal, and arrived on this small island.

“It’s actually like this!”

“Thank you, Feng Ying… big sister and little snake!”

Everyone solemnly bowed to Feng Ying.

No one could have anticipated.

That this cat had already been guarding the world for fifty years without the world noticing the crisis.

It was a tremendous favor!

Even if a human had silently guarded this place it would be a favor, let alone a demon!

Aside from some confusion about what to call… they didn’t know how to address her, so by custom, they respectfully called her “big sister Feng Ying.”

As for the little snake… who didn’t even have a name yet, they could only refer to it as such.

The little snake sat cross-legged in the fortress, chin up and chest out, radiantly, feeling enormous satisfaction in its small heart.

Whereas Feng Ying immediately felt awkward.

With a swish, it flung its tail and hid behind Feng Yin.

It was too embarrassed.

Green Wolf, the great master, said smilingly, “Little Feng Ying is feeling shy, haha, but after this, the title ‘big sister Feng Ying’ is truly well-deserved across the continent.”

“Exactly! Exactly!”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Green Wolf, the great master, solemnly said to Feng Yin, “Feng Ying has been protecting humanity for fifty years, silently contributing, admirable and respectable, truly a role model for all ages! She is a benefactor of the entire continent, you must never, never let her down, never fail her!”

Her words seemed to carry a deeper meaning.

Feng Yin, holding Feng Ying in his arms, laughed heartily and said, “How could I ever let down my dear little Feng Ying? Great master worries too much!”

“As long as you don’t fail her!”

Green Wolf, the great master, said smilingly, “I hope Doctor Feng, no matter when, will always remember my words.”

“Absolutely!”

Feng Yin solemnly promised.

His hand stroked Feng Ying’s body back and forth, his face full of affection.

Feng Ying blinked its eyes.

Its tail gently shook towards Green Wolf, the great master, expressing thanks.

Green Wolf, the great master, blinked.

Feng Ying immediately buried its head in Feng Yin’s embrace.

“It’s about time to give the little snake a name. Now that it’s so powerful and it still doesn’t have a name,” said Green Shadow, the great master.

“Good! Good! I’ll start thinking right now and come up with a loud name for the little snake.”

Feng Yin nodded repeatedly.

Anticipation shone in the little snake’s eyes.

…

Then everyone began studying this grand formation.

Several elders from Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace who were familiar with formations, as well as specialists from the Absolute Sword Devil Palace and various major sects, gradually began to calculate and investigate.

Meanwhile, Lan Dan, the great master, took the little snake’s place and suppressed the key point.

After a full two hours, they finally restored all the formation diagrams.

Then, comparing them to the original terrain map, they began calculating.

For a long time, everyone wore looks of resignation.

“Time has passed for too long; the formation, nourished by the Purple Emperor’s True Spirit over the years, has connected with the heavens and earth, linking to the stars and land, and cannot be destroyed.”

“What if we destroy this formation eye?”

Feng Yin asked.

“This is not the formation eye; this is just a weird entrance and exit, the largest one, but it is not the formation eye.”

“Surrounding the entire Zichen Lake are many other smaller, weird eruption points. By calculating the formation, there are roughly nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine such points, and, following the celestial circulations and the four seasons, there isn’t a fixed eruption point.”

After a detailed investigation, Dong Canglan sighed, his face appearing more aged.

Everyone also looked uncomfortable.

They all understood the implications.

This meant that even if these nine thousand points were located, it would be pointless!

Because, with the rotation of the formations, this place would simply not exist anymore; it had shifted.

“As the summit of the continent, one of the supreme Nine Colors, what the Purple Emperor has schemed for thousands of years really isn’t so easily solved!”

Everyone looked upset, their moods low.

Dong Xiaoyan said, “What if Zichen Lake is dredged, and the water is drained? Is that a possibility?”

People begrudgingly smiled, “Then, the weirdness would just follow the current and rush out from here, and once it reaches other water systems, it would flow downstream, and the entire continent would be affected… That would actually be doing a huge favor for the weirdness!”

Dong Xiaoyan said, “Then what do we do? The water of the lake keeps accumulating here, and if there’s heavy rain one day, won’t Zichen Lake overflow…”

Hearing this, everyone became even more troubled.

Because this was the least desirable scenario, but it was also the most unavoidable.

Qing Ming the Great Master stood up and said, “I have already sent people to cut off several small streams flowing from Zichen Lake; currently, we cannot guarantee that the water that has already flowed out does not contain anomalies, if it does, how much it contains.”

“As for Zichen Lake… everyone can work together to move mountains and build dikes, blocking the lake water. Try not to let it spill over.”

“As for the rainwater, once dark clouds gather in the sky, immediately send experts to disperse the rain clouds.”

“If there’s a downpour elsewhere, won’t the water still eventually flow here?” Green Shadow asked.

“As long as this place is high enough, water from other places can’t come in!”

“For now, that’s all we can do.”

“But every night, Zichen Lake is expanding, devouring the land, and moreover, leaving the dams unharmed… this…”

“Let’s take it one step at a time.”

Qing Ming sighed.

Feng Yin sat alone on a rock, facing the river, seemingly worried, lost in thought.

The people did not dare to interrupt his train of thought and were quietly discussing among themselves, behind him.

In fact, in Feng Yin’s hands was an entity that others did not understand.

Illusory Silkworm.

After contributing a dozen times, Feng Yin finally asked, “What’s the deal with these anomalies? Is there a way to resolve them?”

Illusory Silkworm flapped its wings, transmitting thoughts telepathically with a sense of speechlessness.

“After all, the reason why Heaven’s Path is flawed in this world is because of the existence of the Abyss. Without removing the Abyss, Heaven’s Path is not whole.”

Illusory Silkworm’s words startled Feng Yin.

Heaven’s Path is not whole?

That statement was indeed earth-shattering.

“Every world needs rules to exist, and all things in heaven and earth must operate according to these rules in order to form a complete world.”

“But this world is in chaos, because heaven and earth do not match, yin and yang are deficient, and life and death are not balanced.”

“And these existences are all because… the Abyss exists, occupying the place of reincarnation, blocking the path of reincarnation.”

“Therefore, the creatures in this world have no afterlife.”

The ethereal transmission of Illusory Silkworm’s thoughts carried a hint of melancholy.

“How can we annihilate the Abyss?”

Feng Yin asked.

“I do not know.”

Illusory Silkworm was quite distressed.

“Even you do not know?”

“I do not know.”

“Then what exactly are you?”

Feng Yin finally asked the question that had been looming in his mind for a long time.

“What kind of existence am I?”

Illusory Silkworm fell silent.

A desolate feeling permeated Feng Yin’s heart.

“You are not just a simple Illusory Silkworm, are you?”

Feng Yin asked.

It took Illusory Silkworm a full half hour of silence before it finally began to slowly narrate.

“In the cosmos, there are countless stars, and each star is growing. Once it grows to a certain extent, it breeds countless materials, and then after a certain chance, either because there are too many spiritual beings in the universe or the vitality is too dense, creatures appear. There are also circumstances where powerful beings enchant and endow stars with the ability to breed life.”

“And the stars that do not have the capability to breed life are not just lacking in growth, but also lacking in opportunity.”

“After heaven and earth were formed, they first separated into upper and lower, yin and yang, and at the moment of this clear separation, the first conscious entity was born in this world.”

“And this consciousness was later known by life as… Heaven’s Path!”

Illusory Silkworm slowly said, “And I… am the first consciousness that emerged in this world.”

Feng Yin was completely shocked!

“You… you are the incarnation of Heaven’s Path?”

Illusory Silkworm did not respond.

But Feng Yin’s mind was already tumultuously turning.

“After I had consciousness, I found that I was unique, so I began to fuse my soul into heaven and earth, nurturing life. According to innate instincts, I nurtured this world to grow; it also took all my energy to make this heaven and earth perfect.”

“Any part of it.”

“But after the creatures appeared, I found that the Great Dao was flawed, utterly baffling me.”

“Then after examining for thousands of years, I discovered that before this world was formed, deep in the heart of the earth, there existed a strange life form that had no body, no soul, no consciousness, and was obliviously sleeping.”

“These are the evil thoughts of the cosmos! Capable of devouring everything.”

“And it is because of their existence that this world has only sky and people, but no land. In other words, no place to receive departed souls and to enable reincarnation.”

Feng Yin understood.

There is only heaven but no underworld.

In the middle, various creatures exist.

Yes, perhaps it’s similar to his own kind of explanation.

“In the process of nurturing life, the creatures had not yet appeared, but these evil thoughts had already awakened first!”

“If they were allowed to burst forth from the ground, then what life could there be.”

“So I used all my power to seal the Abyss! But at that time, with weak strength, I could only seal it for the longest term! I could not exterminate them!”

“Yet it was also because of that sealing that I almost lost all my power and also lost control over this world.”

“Using the last of my power, after the breeding process of life, I fell into a deep sleep.”

“Only many years later did I regain a bit of consciousness, and then I found that in this world, whenever creatures perform good deeds, it would reflect back on me, strengthening me slightly.”

“Then… after some time accumulating, I slightly regained some energy, and so I established an organization.”

Illusory Silkworm sighed.
