Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 614 - 589 Whirlpool

"Remember, if you can successfully enter the Ganges Realm, you will be reborn as a Ganges being."

The red elder continued, "Even though you possess all your current memories, your soul imprint will still be branded with the innate instinct to 'kill all beings of the Chaotic Cosmos'."

Wang Xu's heart trembled.

Branded with instinct? Would he never be able to approach beings of the Chaotic Cosmos for eternity?

"You need not worry, this is merely an instinct, not a compulsory spirituality," said the white elder. "While beings have an innate desire to survive, there are times when consciousness takes over, leading them to act beyond their instincts. Thus, if your Will is strong enough, you can resist the effects of the instinct."

Hearing these words, Wang Xu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Indeed, people have an endless desire for survival and will do anything to stay alive.

But sometimes, people also act on emotions, even willing to sacrifice their own lives. Just like Wang Xu, who would exchange his life to resurrect his family, a manifestation beyond instinct.

"Senior, may I know where the Seed of Truth is located in the Ganges Realm?" Wang Xu asked.

"This is what I am about to tell you, and you must remember it well, imprint it deep within your soul!"

The red elder stressed solemnly, "According to the memories we gained through Soul Searching, the Ganges Realm is divided into 'Outer Ganges' and the 'Ganges Realm of Truth'."

"The Outer Ganges is what we currently see, the Ganges River formed by countless souls, completely separating Chaos and the Ganges Realm."

"The Ganges Realm of Truth is considered the 'Inner Ganges'. In the center of the Ganges, there is a very large tree known as the 'Ganges Truth Tree'. Since the inception of the Ganges Realm, that tree has existed. Every Ganges being has undergone the baptism of the Ganges Truth Tree."

"The Ganges Truth Tree is extremely large, its roots covering the entire Inner Ganges. Wherever it covers is seen as a Holy Land by the Ganges beings, which is why the Inner Ganges is called the 'Ganges Realm of Truth'."

The red elder's eyes glinted.

"Your mission is to enter the Ganges Realm of Truth and by any means necessary, approach the center of the Ganges Truth Tree to obtain the 'Seed of Truth' from it!"

"The Seed of Truth is extremely precious, in the eyes of the Ganges beings, it is a supreme sacred object. You must be cautious and more cautious, for if you fail, there may be no second chance."

As the red elder spoke, the atmosphere suddenly became incredibly tense.

"I will do my best," Wang Xu said earnestly.

Whether for Chaos, for his friends and family, or for himself, he must obtain the Seed of Truth.

Only then would Chaos see a glimmer of hope in the impending war.

"Go now. When the day comes that you are ready, use this to communicate with me, and we will guide you to that path."

With a wave of the red elder's hand, a disc of colorful glass fell into Wang Xu's hands.

Immediately, Wang Xu bowed, and the red elder waved his hand again, sending him out of the Supreme Prison, vanishing from the towering pillar.

"Does he stand a chance?"

The white elder sighed.

"No." The red elder shook his head, "His Devouring Fire Seed is not the strongest type. Though he possesses the Ancient Flesh Body, it is nowhere near comparable to previous devourers."

"He hasn't even possessed the 'Second Ancient Body', having only devoured two Cores of Chaos. He's far too weak. The previous devourer, 'True Cultivator', was the strongest of all the devourers I've seen in the Ancestor Realm. Perhaps he had a glimmer of hope," the green elder said.

"Pray, then. Everything is left to fate," the white elder sighed.

...

In the blink of an eye, Wang Xu found himself in the Zhenfu Domain Capital.

"To the Ganges?"

Wang Xu pondered in his heart.

This event was indeed extremely risky for him, yet there was a benefit the Supreme Controllers did not mention — he could keep his life!

That's right, once Wang Xu was reborn as a Ganges being, he would no longer be part of Chaos, and naturally wouldn't be hunted by the Ganges beings. Even if Chaos were shattered, he could still survive.

"Perhaps the previous devourers who agreed, did so for this reason," Wang Xu thought to himself.

Though it was said the mission was to go to the Ganges Realm to find the Seed of Truth, for Chaos, the true purpose was to earn a chance at survival.

"No matter what, I must protect my family, even if it costs me my life, I must let them live!"

The thought in Wang Xu's heart was firm beyond measure.

Not for himself, but for Chaos, for his family and friends!

He could endure the annihilation of the entire Chaos, seeing it wiped out, but he couldn't bear to see his family and friends die and leave... Therefore, this mission could only succeed, not fail!

The Supreme Controllers gave Wang Xu some time to prepare.

With the help of the Zhenfu Domain Master, Wang Xu took only six million years to return to Fengye.

However, this time, Wang Xu did not disturb anyone in Fengye.

"Leave all these treasures to the descendants of Fengye."

Wang Xu took out all the treasures on him, the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection, the Great Emperor's Secret Medicine, the Chaos Primordial Technique, and built a Forgotten Ancient Ruins, set up the Great Emperor Array, and laid down checkpoints for the descendants of Fengye to receive these treasures.

"Now I am just like the Celestial Dragon Great Emperor was back then, leaving all treasures behind and departing alone... Could it be that the Celestial Dragon Great Emperor also intended to enter the Ganges?" Wang Xu thought of the Celestial Dragon Great Emperor.

In the Kedan Chaos Cosmos, the departure of the Celestial Dragon Great Emperor had always been a mystery.

No one knew why he would abandon all treasures and venture into the Chaos Void alone, only that he never returned after that.

"The Celestial Dragon Great Emperor wasn't a Devourer, how could he enter the Ganges?" Wang Xu was puzzled.

But no matter how perplexed Wang Xu was, these answers remained elusive.

Having set everything in place, Wang Xu stood above the void, looking satisfied at his creation.

"Wang Xu, are you really going to the Ganges?" You Ji's figure in red robes appeared beside him, looking serious.

"I must go, and I must bring back the Seed of Truth." Wang Xu nodded, resolute.

"But the Ganges is too cruel, and those Supreme Controllers say it's so dangerous. Actually, who knows how long Ganges creatures will take to arrive. If we're going to die anyway, why not enjoy endless years in the Chaos until the day we truly have to die, then we could just end it ourselves?" You Ji said.

Wang Xu laughed involuntarily.

He didn't expect You Ji to be so dejected, with a "take each day as it comes" mindset.

"I know you don't think well of this journey to the Ganges, but I believe things won't be that bad," Wang Xu said. "Besides, I'm not someone who enjoys idleness. I like to see everything unknown, tread on all miraculous places. If I die without knowing what the Ganges Realm looks like, I would regret it."

As Wang Xu spoke, he began to laugh.

You Ji let out a long sigh and returned to Wang Xu's body.

He knew Wang Xu's mind was set and couldn't be changed.

This trip was unavoidable.

"Dad, mom, wait for me, I will definitely come back. No matter what, even if it costs my life, I will protect you from any harm, I swear!" Wang Xu gazed into the distance, as if seeing his carefree family in the Immortal Tang Divine Palace through the endless void.

...

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

The Chaos Void was a place of darkness, even the Chaos Cosmos, capable of radiating endless light, had most of its brilliance eroded by the Chaos Void.

However, even if the Chaos Void could erode the light of the Chaos Cosmos, it couldn't affect the Ganges in any way.

Azure blue, stretching beyond the horizon, like the Ganges flowing through the track of time, still existed quietly, countless light dots moving slowly.

Yet, no one noticed that going along the Ganges, until even the Chaos Cosmos could no longer be seen, an anomaly appeared there.

"Is this a vortex?"

Wang Xu stood in front of the Ganges, an elderly white figure beside him, surrounded by ice-blue flames, unaffected by the terrifying soul aura of the Ganges.

In front of Wang Xu, the azure Ganges suddenly showed a "fault line."

It was a vortex, with light dots moving in a spiral, and the speed was much faster than the flowing speed.

"This was discovered by Si Kong," the white elder said. "He was the first among us to achieve the status of Eternal Immortal Emperor as a Devourer, the first Supreme Controller, and only he could come here and discover this peculiarity."

"Combining our years of research and the memories obtained from soul searching the True Spirits of the Ganges, we can deduce that this is a 'secret passage' to the Ganges Realm, but the passage doesn't allow chaotic beings to enter; only the purest souls can enter."

Wang Xu carefully examined the Ganges vortex.

"Remember, once you enter, you must resist the powerful tearing force. At that time, boundless pain will sweep over; if you really can't bear it, return the way you came. Do not be reckless, or the consequence will be ashes to ashes. Do you understand?" the white elder advised.

Wang Xu nodded.

A moment later.

"Xu Shu elder, lift the protection," Wang Xu said.

The white elder took a deep look at Wang Xu, then waved his hand, dispersing the ice-blue flames that surrounded them, and a terrifying coldness struck Wang Xu's mind!

Cold!

Frigid cold penetrating the bone, piercing the soul!

The coldness was so intense that Wang Xu's body involuntarily trembled.

Whoosh!

Red and white flames swirled out, enveloping Wang Xu completely, and instantly mitigating the intense coldness by more than half.

"Self-dissolve!"

Wang Xu focused, his skin began to crack, and blood spurted. In the blink of an eye, he became a living 'blood man.'

Following that—

Puff!

A light sound, as Wang Xu's flesh, blood, and bones crumbled, leaving only a red and white flame burning gently.

"You Ji, let's go!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets; your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
