Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 567 - 522: Shenduan Graveyard

Wu Hen wrapped himself in Holy Breath and continued to walk deeper.

Even finer ashes had almost merged with the air, no longer forming the so-called earth, nor was there a black sky.

The black dust turned this area into an ash universe devoid of other materials. Wu Hen's perception couldn't extend outward in this invisible "vacuum," and he gradually became both blind and deaf.

Scholars of the Da Xuan Dynasty have also said that this place is like the edge of the Cang Chu Divine Realm, a boundless region millions of times larger than the Red Port Dark Domain, where even gods can get lost.

Wu Hen also realized that hidden within this black dust must be "chains" that he currently could not perceive. Should he try to cross this region and flee, they would pull him back, and not even the older, more powerful gods of the Cang Chu Divine Realm could break free from these constraints. Thus, what lies beyond the Cang Chu Divine Realm remains unknown to many gods.

Wu Hen felt as if he were facing an endless dark ocean. If he still had a small boat, he might have the courage to sail to the other side. But now, he is swimming, and to think of relying on human strength and swimming skills to reach the distant shores of the Ocean is a fool's dream.

He had no choice but to stop and restrain the courage and desire for knowledge in his heart.

The Fallen Guanyin Tree had already fled far away, and it would not give Wu Hen the chance to kill it.

Wu Hen realized that without formulating a very detailed battle strategy targeting this particular Guanyin Tree, it would be unlikely to kill it.

This is just like how a person bare-handed would find it difficult to kill birds perched on a tree.

Wu Hen started to walk back when suddenly huge husks appeared in the black ash.

These husks stood tall like Volcano Trees, but they were devoid of vitality, the color of charred wood, and amidst the black ash fog, they seemed to Wu Hen more like massive graves!

Wu Hen took a deep breath, the air in his lungs filled with ashen air devoid of any Spiritual Factor.

Suddenly, he realized what these mounds, towering like hills, were.

He didn't have the courage to go forward, but he still wanted to understand the cruel truth of the world; he had to take a glance.

With that glance, Wu Hen felt an invisible fear storm towards him, causing him, a high-dimensional life, to stumble, surrounded by his Holy Soul, his spirit still chillingly cold.

They were Divine Realm carcasses, one after another, Divine Realm carcasses!

This place, existing for who knows how many ten thousands of years, and the lost Nuwa God Ends in this otherworldly place, their bones were piled up here. Within these bone mountains, one could vaguely see massive fattened Guanyin Worm larvae crawling through this graveyard of the gods, foraging for whatever nutritious life branches remained, searching for the core leaves with residual soul energy.

As far as the eye could see, at least a thousand stood tall.

The Divinity of the Nuwa God Ends had long ceased to exist; the only thing that could be recognized was the undecayed wooden husks of their trunks.

Here, the reverence and esteem humans held for the Nuwa God Ends were no different from the bones of famine refugees in mass graves.

Wu Hen felt his stomach churn violently.

He was having trouble coping with this shock.

Before the Divine Realm fell into the otherworldly domain, humans were the chosen of heaven, who through wisdom and effort, gradually became the rulers of their own planet, standing at the very top of the biological chain, wearing the skins of fierce beasts, breeding livestock that provided delicious food, living in reinforced concrete houses that could withstand most natural disasters, and after achieving a comfortable life, knowing how to protect those endangered and rare species to ensure biodiversity, standing in the role of Life Ruler, managers, aiming to perfect the whole world...

This pride, this superiority of being human, was destined from the moment of birth.

But now...

Life in the otherworldly realm had crushed them into dust!

The lowest worms, mayflies who have never seen the real sky, insects parasitic on Divine Trees, a group of moths heading toward destruction without any significance...

These Divine Realm carcasses left behind by the Nuwa God Ends, each one piercing Wu Hen's heart like a thousand arrows, and with their bloody reality, telling Wu Hen that all efforts to push for human evolution seemed meaningless. To the universe, whether it's a Divine Realm or a small life-bearing planet, both are but grains in this black dust.

Wu Hen held his breath as he staggered forward.

Relying on his cultivated willpower, he walked through the graveyard of Nuwa God Ends, once again activating his super sense, searching for a clue among the wreckage.

In the Shenduan Graveyard, apart from the juvenile Guanyin Worms, there were also some minute substances at the top of the tree canopies, slowly drifting upward.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~~"

Suddenly, a blazing Skyfire streaked across the ash universe, the only light in this area; it also stirred up a cosmic wind, blowing those substances floating up from the tree canopies towards a corner of the Cang Chu Divine Realm.

Wu Hen scrutinized carefully and finally recognized what those substances floating up from the Nuwa God End bodies were...

They were seeds of the Soul Nesting Wood!

The seeds were wrapped in imperishable husks, and despite being covered with the saliva of Guanyin Worms, they were still carried by Skyfire to a more distant place, blown into a corner of Otherworldly Dust...

Of course, whether the seeds of Soul Nesting Wood still contained the Insect Eggs of Guanyin Worms, that was hard to tell.

"In other words, a wild Soul Nesting Wood actually represents the ruins of a fallen Nuwa God End," Bai Ze spoke up to help Wu Hen analyze the situation.

Wu Hen's heart was too quiet, and Bai Ze was also worried that he might lose himself in this human graveyard.

"Yes, the Soul Nesting Woods we encountered all along the way are actually the remains of our predecessors," Wu Hen nodded.

"They might have perished mid-way, after all, not all of Nuwa's people are that lucky, and many were preyed upon even before they realized the presence of Otherworldly Desert Dust," said Bai Ze.

"Mingyi and the others have the seeds of Soul Nesting Wood, which means they've been here and witnessed this truth as well," Wu Hen stated.

"To be honest, as your human navigator, I'm also not brave enough to disclose this; it's extremely cruel for any living specie," Bai Ze said.

Wu Hen nodded.

Now his homeland was thriving, and the different evolutionary paths also gave most people hope. At least within the Cang Chu Divine Realm, they were gradually finding their footing.

Even if this was made public, Wu Hen believed that most people would eventually come to a consensus: there's no need to keep moving forward. Rather than failing to find a way out of the Cang Chu Divine Realm, rather than continuing to face the unknown, it would be better to integrate into this Cang Chu Divine Realm...

"There are no Time Soul Nesting Woods here," said Wu Hen.

"But the bones of so many Nuwa God Ends, aren't they the very reference of your destinies, past and future?" Bai Ze said.

"Yes, if there's no escape from the Cang Chu Divine Realm, time keeps extending infinitely, and it's like spinning continuously in a vortex."

...

Wu Hen stepped out of the Dark Dust Area, returning to the dying, decayed region of Nuwa God End.

He walked up to the withered face of Nuwa Yan, gazing silently at this Nuwa God End that didn't belong to him, as though looking at someone else's mother in the twilight of her years.

Nuwa Yan, also devoid of vitality, seemed to be thanking Wu Hen for preserving her last dignity and decency by emitting a faint glow, gifting him with half of a High-dimensional Yuan You.

After expelling this half of High-dimensional Yuan You, the entire Nuwa God End disintegrated into countless ashes under the searing Skyfire, as Ash Butterflies danced romantically upon the tree canopy, unfurling their final splendor in an unknown corner of the universe.

The Divine Realm had long been without barriers, and those within it, having lost this "protective layer," became like fragile newborns deprived of a mother, looking helplessly at the lifeless world outside, their little remaining will quickly shattered, turning into lost wandering souls.

Wu Hen released his own Crown Radiance, like a bright moon shining upon these small beings, momentarily sheltering them from the heat of this place.

"We are without a home now," Mo Chuan floated in mid-air, looking down upon the remaining few of the human races on the ground.

"Sorry, our Divine Realm also cannot accommodate you, after all, most of you have been infected by Insect Eyes, which is a deadly virus to a closed homeland world," Wu Hen said.

Mo Chuan's expression darkened; she was unsure where to go next. The world that was once prosperous and warm had completely walked towards extinction, the real end of days, not even the remnants of the world could be seen.

"I understand, we are the defeated, and you still have to sail on," said Mo Chuan with a bitter expression, having seen no hope, she spoke somewhat resignedly, "I don't know what purpose it served for the Nuwa God End to form us into Desert Dust bodies; actually, we're tired of wandering."

"But I have quite a few cosmic friends in Otherworldly realms, and they will accept you unconditionally. Do you prefer the True Martial World where quick vengeance is valued, the Cultivation Realm where fate is defied, or Da Xuan City that takes pride in Dark Energy technology?" Wu Hen gave Mo Chuan several options with a rather sunny smile.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of Mo Chuan shimmered with multiple layers of light, representing the different emotions she felt at that instant.

"They... they are quite against Nuwa's people, are you sure they will accept us?" Mo Chuan asked.

"Don't worry, they won't refuse my humble request," Wu Hen said with confidence.

"If we're really given the choice, we'd prefer to integrate into Da Xuan City. Most people within our Divine Realm rely on technology and are rarely accomplished in cultivation. But seeing how you treat those scholars from Da Xuan, are you sure they are your friends?" Mo Chuan asked cautiously.

"Of course, they are not. They're just a bunch of tools. My friend is called Levi; he's the mayor of a Prison City and now also a leading figure in the Da Xuan Dynasty. His city is very inclusive, and you will receive fair treatment there," Wu Hen explained.

Mo Chuan's face still showed worry as she spoke softly, "But for us, these new-born Desert Dust Babies, to safely reach the Da Xuan City you spoke of... it won't be easy."

"It's nothing major, I'll have the city come pick you up," Wu Hen declared.

Mo Chuan's dark eyes widened tremendously.

For the people of Nuwa, such a statement seemed like a pie in the sky, but Mo Chuan, recalling what she heard about the Dark Engine City of the Daxuan Royal Family, suddenly gaped in surprise...

It seemed, in this place, having a colossal city come to pick them up could truly be realized!
