Chapter 331 Immortals, Humans, and Beasts
In this era, all the source matter of the Western Continent belongs to me.
As if in a grand dream, Xia Er's calm heart was stirred by ripples.
The Key of Light, the Mother Nest, the Kingdom of Chaos, the River of Eternal Darkness, the World of Shadows, the City of Calamity... At this moment, Old Xia was just like an ignorant, uneducated Earthling.
This is probably what it feels like when a mouse gets into a rice bin; the worst part is having to choose carefully and not have it all.
The universal antitrust law... was initially too ahead of its time.
Shael was comfortably enjoying the nourishment of the nest, not in a hurry to be born at all. He hadn't decided what to choose yet, what a dilemma... However, this happiness did not last long, and a rumbling thunder came from the sky.
The sky above the towering mountain peak was covered with dark clouds. A bird-headed, human-bodied immortal, bathed in rosy light, traveled to this place. With a wave of his whisk, everything that had happened in the area of ten thousand miles around the mother nest was reproduced, as if history were repeating itself.
Even inside the "Mother Nest," Xia Er still felt a spying force. He was familiar with this feeling; it was the power of the Source Castle. However, even the power of the Source Castle could not scan Xia Er, who was still unborn and located at the core of the Mother Nest.
Even though it had no effect, Xia'er's aura still turned cold. If this were in the Northern Continent, if the birdman in the sky dared to look at him, half of his body would instantly rot.
They're just a slightly more sophisticated pack of Fugen dogs. Who gave these birdmen the guts!
As Xia'er absorbed the power of the "Mother Nest," he wanted to first gather the power of a Sequence 1 Nature Walker so he could go out and pluck the feathers and bleed the birdmen who dared to run wild in his territory, then stew them into meat soup. However, the "Mother Nest" calmed down this somewhat irritable child. Some information, following the connection between the "Mother Nest" and the "child," surfaced in Xia'er's mind.
The seemingly towering mountain range is now blocked by iron pillars along its ridges, with chains hanging from them. The mountain range, which resembles a bird's nest, appears to have been riddled with arrows, and the ridges, which resemble wombs, are pierced by the iron pillars. Grayish-white mist spreads through the holes in the mountain range like snakes, eroding the vitality and spirit of the "mother nest".
Did the Celestial Venerable really act so ruthlessly?
After sharing the Mother Nest's perception, Xia'er was able to see "an iron pillar not far away, engraved with ancient runes, carrying a strong sealing effect. This iron pillar not only had the aura of the Source Castle, but also felt directly bound to the River of Eternal Darkness."
In such a place of life, the gates of death are everywhere, and one can see that life and death are entirely beyond human control.
No wonder the "Mother Nest" directly nourishes its spirit with vitality and spirituality. Under such a layout, the Mother Nest is like a leaky cup. Even as the root god and mother of all things, it can continuously generate vitality, but in the end, all of this vitality will be lost because of the iron pillars that connect to the River of Eternal Darkness.
Since life cannot be preserved, why not use it to nurse children?
There are also similar giant iron pillars in the River of Eternal Darkness. Then, through a grafting-like method, the projection of the iron pillar is bound to the iron pillar that pierces through the Mother Nest? Using the power of the Mother Nest to suppress the River of Eternal Darkness, and using the power of the River of Eternal Darkness to suppress the Mother Nest.
What about the other sealed source matter?
Xia'er quickly understood everything. He said, "The Celestial Venerable has already fallen, and the barrier he left behind is still so powerful. How did He manage to seal the source matter of the Western Continent and enable the servants he enlightened to perform the supervision work? Relying solely on the power of the Source Fortress seems insufficient."
"As expected of the Celestial Venerable."
He was somewhat amazed. With just a simple move, Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun could see the true value of this first-generation mysterious master. Even after death, he was able to seal six source substances, two of which had not had their consciousness scattered and could still use the power of different source substances to seal each other.
Xia'er now even suspects that the power of the Western Continent Barrier may have been crowdfunded, with the Source Castle likely playing a coordinating role. Otherwise, the Western Continent Barrier wouldn't be able to rival the original Earth Barrier in terms of strength.
The barrier of the Western Continent, in its strength during the First Era, could probably trap even extraterrestrial gods in the stars if the target didn't possess special authority.
Shocked by the Celestial Venerable, Xia'er paid no further attention to the so-called "Immortal of Penglai" in the sky.
After inspecting the area, the immortals high above found that the seal left by the Celestial Venerable had not been shaken. Although the Mother Nest had shown some unusual activity, it had not escaped its confinement. Then, the immortals opened their mouths, and the branch immortals responsible for guarding the Mother Nest were sucked into their bellies with blank expressions.
The immortal lowered his gaze, and within a radius of ten thousand miles, skulls stood like mountains, bones like forests, human heads and hair were matted into felt, human skin and flesh rotted into mud and dust, and human tendons were wrapped around trees, dry and shiny like silver.
The vast expanse of corpses and blood was filled with a foul stench. The immortals responsible for guarding this place ate and drank freely, using humans as food, tools, and pleasure, without any restrictions. Meanwhile, mortals did not die out. Within the area covered by the Mother Nest, humans were like plants in the ground. The rotting human flesh and the countless skeletons would revitalize the mountain's nutrients, giving birth to new humans.
Flowers bloom and wither, in an endless cycle.
Life is ever-present, yet life is also fleeting.
The mortals knelt on the ground, trembling, their foreheads almost buried in the mud, their eyes filled with deep numbness and fear.
"After countless deaths, new humans have been bred generation after generation," at least they will no longer die instantly upon sensing the unconscious aura emanating from divine beings.
The immortals of Penglai naturally wouldn't waste time on these mortals. Their gaze fell upon the "miscellaneous immortals" and the hybrids born from mortals. White feathers drifted down and landed on the various hybrids.
A new batch of "Immortal Clan" was born. Those who were not chosen by Bai Yu were filled with regret. One of them couldn't control his emotions and glanced at his lucky fellow clansman next to him. Two bloody holes appeared on his face, and his eyes were pecked at by sharp bird beaks. He let out a painful scream.
These newly appointed immortals grew patches of white feathers, and the fear and madness in their eyes had solidified into indifference and deathly silence. Each of them performed their duties, acting as Penglai's eyes and ears after the immortals left, suppressing the entire province.
Everything seemed to repeat itself. Under the influence of the mother nest, even the "fairy" who was as ruthless as a puppet would still be passively reproduced. The vast green forest was full of vitality, but this vitality could not be preserved. People were as if they were planted from the ground, eaten, killed, and their flesh and blood were scattered on the earth. Sometimes the green was as lush as a shady tree, sometimes it was as blood as a spring. They were born in the morning and died at night, without counting the years.
No labor required, fruits and vegetables are readily available.
Birds and beasts alike will gain something.
They eat it as food and offer its meat as a sacrifice.
They know neither joy in life nor sorrow in death.
