In the past, all the Origin Immortal Lord had were the speculations and conjectures from his divinations, but from Wang Chong's reaction, he was now certain.
Wang Chong said nothing, but lowered his head, his chest heaving as he loudly inhaled and exhaled. He appeared to be caught in the worst nightmare of all, and tears had begun to pour from his eyes.
How could he forget?
How could he possibly forget?!
He thought that he had learned to be indifferent, to hide things deep down, but when those memories reemerged, he felt a pain that cut to his bones and made his soul tremble.
”What's going on? How do you know this?!” Wang Chong hoarsely cried out.
”What you have seen was my vision from more than one thousand years ago when I was observing the stars one night. Cultures come and go, and one dynasty replaces another. This is human history and has never changed. But this time will be different. There will be no replacement, no continuation. No other culture will appear on this continent and even the earth itself will crumble to nothing, destroyed! This will be the final calamity.”
The Origin Immortal Lord's voice seemed to come from far away and was tinged with indescribable bleakness. For a moment, even the light around him seemed to twist.
”I used every method at my disposal but still failed to find a way to resolve this danger. I continued to pry into the secrets of the heavens, which caused my soul to wither. At the final moment, I glimpsed a ray of hope.
”I saw that after one thousand years, a human would be born. His destiny would be different from anyone else's. He was not within the five elements nor without, had no origin or destination. I could not gather any information about him through my divinations. All I was sure about was that one day, one thousand years from then, he would pull out a sword and lead all the humans of this world in fighting for that one last sliver of hope!
”Thus, starting from that moment, I began to travel the world, inspecting every hill and mountain. After thirty years, I finally found that sword. I then established the Origin Immortal Sect and had Yuan Feng construct the Origin Immortal Cave deep underground, where I placed that sword.”
The Origin Immortal Sword!
Wang Chong suddenly thought of the sword he was holding, and the realization left him stunned. The Origin Immortal Lord had said that he had been waiting for him all this time, but Wang Chong had never imagined that he would have even established the Origin Immortal Sect, the underground palace, and even found the Origin Immortal Sword…
All of this existed in preparation for his arrival!
This was simply too unbelievable!
Wang Chong found it impossible to calm down.
”…The mysteries of destiny had me wait more than one thousand years, but in the end, I truly did manage to meet you. Now, I can finally give you that object.”
The Origin Immortal Lord gave a long sigh of relief.
Wang Chong's heart thumped and he raised his head in shock.
Object?
What object?!
As numerous thoughts flew through Wang Chong's mind, the Origin Immortal Lord exploded with golden light, the almost tangible energy of the Subtle realm gathering at the tip of his finger.
Soon after, a tiny golden seed the size of a fingernail but brighter than the sun had gathered at the tip of the Origin Immortal Lord's finger. If one looked carefully, one could see that this seed had several strange patterns on its surface.
These patterns had a life of their own, crawling across the surface of the seed like waves.
”!!!”
Wang Chong's eyes flew open. Though there was nothing too impressive about the seed's appearance, Wang Chong could sense boundless power within it. This was only a small portion of its power, but it was enough to leave Wang Chong stupefied.
”This is an extremely important 'World Seed', a seed that I have expended all my life's efforts on and have guarded for more than one thousand years. From the moment I realized that an unprecedented disaster was lurking beneath the surface of this calm world, I thought of every method to find a way to save the world. In the end, I managed to condense this seed. This seed is the world's sole hope.
”This seed is still incomplete. My attempts to glimpse the secrets of the heavens expended too much of my essence blood and soul for me to complete this seed. I can only leave that task to you. You have things that I do not, so perhaps you can complete what I could not!”
The Origin Immortal Lord slowly offered the golden seed to Wang Chong.
Wang Chong glanced at the Origin Immortal Lord and saw an unprecedented solemnity on his face. It was obvious that this seed occupied a position of paramount importance in the Origin Immortal Lord's mind.
