Chapter 275 Creation of Heaven and Earth and the Making of Things
The war, which nearly destroyed the universe, came to a swift end.
However, the combined power of the thirty ancient emperors reaching the pinnacle of their power, burning their flesh and soul to unleash forbidden secret techniques, was unimaginable. They possessed the ability to create heaven and earth, much like chaotic demons destroying and creating worlds.
When that wave swept across the universe, billions of galaxies shattered like glass, and countless stars were extinguished into ashes in an instant.
Even the aftershocks possess such power.
The nearby Burial Emperor Star survived this catastrophe thanks to the imperial formations left behind by countless ancient emperors and the protection of several supreme beings.
It was precisely because of this that the beings on the Burial Emperor Star were able to escape a calamity. However, countless beings still trembled as they looked at the blood-red sky that stained the universe.
The Qilin Ancient Emperor hovered in the starry sky, gazing at the devastated universe below, his brows furrowed slightly.
The starry sky in his palm had not yet dissipated, and immortal power flowed within it, reflecting countless scenes of shattered star fields.
"Let me mend this world."
Before he finished speaking, he revealed the immeasurable power of a true immortal—with a roar, boundless starlight surged from his throat, instantly transforming into rushing galaxies; with a wave of his hand, countless star systems condensed in the void, and planets and suns and moons revived from his palm, slowly falling into the shattered star field to fill the void in the universe.
"My God! Is this a rebirth of heaven and earth, a re-creation of the universe?!"
On the Burial Emperor Star, the surviving cultivators looked up, their eyes filled with shock. They had not yet recovered from the shock of "thirty supreme beings being killed with a single palm strike" when they witnessed this mysterious true immortal replenishing the power of the Qilin Ancient Emperor of Heaven and Earth with his own strength, once again overturning their understanding of "strong beings".
After repairing the shattered star field, the Ancient Emperor Qilin slowly withdrew his immortal power. But as he looked down at the universe that had begun to function again, a strange emptiness welled up in his heart. "I feel like—something's not right." He stared at the stars that had lit up again, lost in thought.
The universe is vast and boundless, and planets with life are rare. The shockwaves from the battle between the thirty supreme beings, though terrifying, only affected a few star systems; most inhabited planets, even those small worlds created by sages, remained unscathed due to their immense distance. So where does this "emptiness" come from?
As his gaze swept across the starfields filled with lifeless celestial bodies, the Ancient Emperor of Qilin suddenly realized—firstly, the space was too vast.
Although the supreme power was enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, there were too few places with life, so this great battle did not really harm many living beings.
Yes, it's not that the Dark Lords are too weak, but rather that the universe is too vast and life too scarce.
If the Dark Sovereigns hadn't never awakened simultaneously, a single Dark Turmoil involving dozens of Sovereigns could have devoured all remaining life in the universe.
Why don't these Dark Sovereigns, who are capable of creating almost an entire universe, cultivate life?
But the Ancient Emperor of Qilin knew that the Dark Sovereigns didn't lack the desire to raise life, but simply couldn't.
People generally feel that ancient emperors were prone to destroying the world and even had difficulty getting along with their relatives and friends.
After all, a slight carelessness could shatter billions of galaxies and destroy countless stars, but this is a very one-sided view.
The power of the ancient emperors was not limited to killing: they could regenerate withered trees and make fallen flowers bloom again, restore youth to the old and frail, and could both destroy the heavens and the earth and nourish things silently.
With their abilities, opening up a life-source planet would not be difficult, but even the most powerful emperors could only create limited opportunities for life.
The life-bearing planets created can only support tens or hundreds of billions of living beings at most. Life-bearing origins like the Burial Emperor Star are extremely special existences in the entire universe.
"Since the universe is so vast, I will create some sources of life."
The Qilin Ancient Emperor had never thought of this before, but now, moved by what he had seen and heard at the Zhutian Pavilion, he had the idea of giving it a try.
He wanted to see how much change he, as a true immortal, could bring to this universe.
With this thought in mind, hundreds and thousands of planetary prototypes appeared in the void.
He infused it with his power, causing soil to solidify on the planet's surface, water to flow across the land, vegetation to grow rapidly, and life to emerge within it.
But he soon discovered that even as a true immortal, creating life in this degenerate universe was still extremely difficult.
With each inhabited planet he opened up, his internal energy drained away like a tide. After tens of thousands of planets, his aura became somewhat unstable.
"Even I, who have already become a true immortal, am finding it so difficult?"
The Ancient Emperor Qilin understood.
This degenerate age is simply unable to support such a large-scale creation of life.
The needs of a true immortal are astonishing; they probably require an entire universe to sustain them. Otherwise, it would be insufficient for their cultivation. When they absorb and exhale the essence of heaven and earth, it would be enough to dry up the universe.
"Moreover, the universe required by true immortals is not the Dharma-ending Age where I live."
I don't even have enough for my own cultivation, so where would I get the extra energy to create a source of life?
The Ancient Emperor Qilin gazed at the newly born planets and sighed softly: "It seems that only beings above the True Immortal level, the legendary Immortal Kings, can truly reverse the vitality of a universe and make a place flourish."
But—are we really going to watch this universe remain empty forever?
The ancient Qilin Emperor frowned, his gaze sweeping across the vast sea of stars.
He recalled what he had seen and heard in the Pavilion of All Heavens.
The primordial universe that Xu Qing mentioned was so vibrant with life that it could grant saints almost eternal life.
The spacetime to which it belongs, known as the Origin Continent, is capable of accommodating countless immortal lives shattered into dust from the vast world.
That kind of world is worlds apart from this degenerate land before us.
"Perhaps we can seek help from Pavilion Master Xu Qing." After a moment's thought, the Ancient Emperor Qilin came up with a solution.
"If the Pavilion Master could offer some guidance, perhaps—"
With that thought in mind, he opened the panel in his mind again.
The next moment, the familiar Zhutian Pavilion appeared before them.
Xu Qing remained seated in the main seat, toying with a Chaos Pearl between his fingers. Seeing him enter, he raised his eyes and smiled faintly: "You've just become a True Immortal, and you're in such a hurry to see me? Have you encountered some difficulties?"
The Ancient Emperor Qilin didn't beat around the bush; he went straight up and explained the problem he was facing.
Compared to his first entry into the Pavilion of All Heavens, even now that he has become a True Immortal, the Ancient Emperor Qilin speaks with sincerity, completely devoid of the arrogance of an ancient emperor.
After all, those as arrogant as the Qilin Ancient Emperor, and even more arrogant than him, had all been crushed to death by him 30 times —
After hearing what the Ancient Emperor Qilin said, Xu Qing smiled.
"You've come to the right person."
Didn't we find the right person?
The primordial universe lacked everything, but it certainly didn't lack the energy to sustain and nurture life.
