Chapter 645: Chapter 637 Absolute Power
An Xin watched as Taiyi Immortal Monarch slowly knelt down, feeling a mix of emotions that were hard to articulate.
There was a sense of relief, astonishment, and admiration for her master.
At the same time, it was mostly the absurdity brought about by the collapse of the image of the Immortal Gods.
Is this the Immortal Gods?
Is this what represents the Heavenly Dao, the existence that all living beings relentlessly pursue throughout their lives?
When Taiyi Immortal Monarch’s knees finally hit the ground, the pride of the Immortal Gods was completely torn apart. He lost his previous aura of divinity; despite his eyes being covered, as he lowered his head, he emanated an air of decay and weakness from the inside out.
The gazes of the Seventy-Two Immortals of Golden Cave also became entirely dim.
They dared not, nor could they continue to curse Gu An.
Taiyi Immortal Monarch was not only their lord but also their pride. The fact that he knelt down without any power to resist was something they could not accept.
Just at this moment.
The shattered universe within the light screen began to change, countless space fragments reversing towards the incoming direction. This scene drew the attention of the Seventy-Two Immortals of Golden Cave.
Under their gaze, the Celestial Spirit Great World was quickly restored to its original state, leaving them in awe.
What kind of power is this?
Purple Dragon Star Monarch was shocked by Gu An’s display of divine power, stirring up peculiar feelings in his heart.
The Immortal Monarch representing the might of the Celestial Court was bringing about destruction; was Gu An, deemed a Heaven-Defying being, saving all living beings?
They watched as Gu An raised his hand, and Taiyi Immortal Monarch shrank following his gesture, landing in the palm of his hand.
Taiyi Immortal Monarch had been subdued as well.
Afterward, they witnessed Gu An turning Taiyi Immortal Monarch into a wooden token and hanging it on his waistband, amongst other tokens that looked similar to them.
They finally understood what their fate would be.
The light screen in front of them began to shrink, and the consciousness of the Seventy-Two Immortals of Golden Cave also began to grow dim, just like the light screen in front of them, they were being consumed by darkness.
Purple Dragon Star Monarch did not worry about his fate; he was still pondering the scene of Taiyi Immortal Monarch kneeling.
Not only him, but the other Golden Cave Immortals felt the same.
Until everything submerged into darkness.
…
Standing in front of the World Gate, An Xin looked onwards, observing the Celestial Spirit Great World restored to its original state, and feeling the vitality in the distance, her face showed a look of pleasant surprise.
She stepped forward, walking up to Gu An, and her gaze fell on his eyes.
Gu An did not conceal the Immortal Emperor’s Eye, allowing her to observe it.
Previously, only she and Taiyi Immortal Monarch had seen the Immortal Emperor’s Eye. Even though the Seventy-Two Immortals of Golden Cave had heard the conversation between Gu An and An Xin earlier, they had not seen the Immortal Emperor’s Eye nor heard the question asked by Taiyi Immortal Monarch before kneeling.
As for Taiyi Immortal Monarch, Gu An had ways to make him forget about the Immortal Emperor’s Eye.
Apart from the Path of Power, Gu An’s greatest expertise was in the Path of Cause and Effect, erasing memories using the Way of Cause and Effect was no difficult task.
“Master, that was not an illusion just now, was it? I saw him destroy the Great Thousand World…” An Xin asked, suppressing her excitement.
Gu An revealed a smile, saying, “What you felt was all real.”
“Can your Immortal Emperor’s Eye restore everything? Or does it reverse time?”
An Xin used a respectful form of ‘you’, reflecting her emotions. Usually, she would not be impolite, but due to their familiarity, she would not address Gu An so formally. This is also why the other disciples clearly sensed her favored status.
Gu An did not conceal anything and replied, “My Immortal Emperor’s Eye can make what has vanished reappear and turn the existent into nothingness.”
He was also not afraid that An Xin would later reveal the mysteries of his Immortal Emperor’s Eye.
His reliance was never on the Immortal Emperor’s Eye; he simply preferred to use it at the current stage.
Moreover, he could enhance his Immortal Emperor’s Eye through the evolution of his life span. The Immortal Emperor’s Eye had already been integrated into his attribute panel. As long as he could see the entries, he could enhance it endlessly.
An Xin’s eyes widened with amazement as she exclaimed, “That sounds so domineering. Isn’t this absolute power over life and death?”
Her own Immortal Emperor’s Eye had infinite uses, capable of devouring power and also borrowing the power from the past and future, but essentially, it relied entirely on borrowing. Compared to her master’s Immortal Emperor’s Eye Divine Power, it seemed fancy but was not as impressive.
“Master, compared to your Immortal Emperor’s Eye, mine is too weak…” After the excitement, An Xin felt somewhat dejected, thinking she had disgraced the Immortal Emperor’s Eye.
Gu An raised his hand and rubbed her head, smiling, “How powerful the Immortal Emperor’s Eye is depends on your cultivation level. One day, you will surpass the strength of the Immortal Emperor’s Eye I displayed just now.”
An Xin was comforted, thinking to herself that her master was truly confident, believing that he could still become stronger.
If her master stood so high and was still actively getting stronger, how could she wallow in self-pity?
Gu An, hearing her inner thoughts, was pleased.
Indeed, she was the disciple he valued the most, always pondering her master’s words.
Gu An turned around, and with a sweep of his right hand along his belt, the wooden plaque transformed by Taiyi Immortal Monarch emitted a sphere of light that quickly flew into the depths of the cosmos.
“What is that?” An Xin asked curiously.
Gu An replied, “Immortal gods cannot be completely annihilated but only suppressed. However, I can make him suffer through the torment of reincarnation, to let him experience the feeling of reversed status.”
From the moment Taiyi Immortal Monarch destroyed the Celestial Spirit Great World, Gu An dismissed the possibility that Taiyi Immortal Monarch would treat Tian Hao well.
Destroying the Celestial Spirit Great World might be a way to leave a backhand, to attract the attention of the Celestial Court, but there is also the possibility of erasing cause and effect, preventing other entities from tracking down where Tian Hao went.
One may act differently based on different standpoints, but Taiyi Immortal Monarch had no justifiable reason to destroy the Celestial Spirit Great World yet he did it anyway, which displeased Gu An.
Although the Profound Star Immortal Monarch presented a facade of righteousness, the followers of the Golden Extreme God sent by the Profound Star Immortal Monarch indeed have spread opportunities widely in the Human World.
As for arranging for the Innate Human Race to cause disasters, this has similarities with the tribulations of heaven and earth. Gu An, though not pleased, could not entirely deny it.
“Why can’t immortal gods be eradicated?” An Xin asked perplexed, her tone filled with indignation.
Why should such entities be able to become immortal gods?
Gu An laughed and said, “There are not so many whys. There must be a force stronger than us supporting them. Become stronger, and you can change the things you cannot currently change.”
An Xin smiled and nodded vigorously.
Afterward, Gu An led her toward the Celestial Spirit Great World.
There should be a long period of peace coming next.
Gu An was contemplating whether he should enhance his Daoist techniques to increase his combat strength before attempting to cross the tribulation during his next breakthrough.
He had already reached the second great realm of the Daluo Dao Fruit Realm. Based on the previous realms, the next one would be the final layer of the Daluo Dao Fruit, which will undoubtedly be difficult to break through.
While thinking, Gu An responded to An Xin’s many curiosities about the previous battle.
Although the battle had astonished An Xin, she completely failed to understand it.
She did not know how Taiyi Immortal Monarch shattered the Celestial Spirit Great World, nor how Gu An pressured Taiyi Immortal Monarch into kneeling.
What she was most curious about was Gu An’s divine power that turned people into little wooden plaques.
That was not a simple transformation in the typical sense. She probed with her divine sense and found that those wooden plaques seemed to be made of Common Wood, showing no trace of anything unusual within.
