Buzz!

After what seemed both like one second and like countless years, there was an almost inaudible buzz. As Wang Chong and the Arab High Priest looked on, the eyelids of the head on the stone table trembled and began to slowly open.

Time seemed to stop.

“Ah! In the end, this moment has still come.”

With a deep sigh, the head opened its mouth, its eyes tinged with an indescribable sense of age and experience.

In this gloomy stone chamber was a bodiless head, an indescribably bizarre sight, and even more bizarre than that was that this bodiless head could speak.

But both Wang Chong and the Arab High Priest were unsurprised. At their level of cultivation, they had comprehended the essence of the world, and they could do what appeared mythical or absurd in the eyes of common people.

“Senior, this junior came late!”

As Wang Chong looked at the Sindhu High Priest—or perhaps one should call him ‘Origin Supreme’—he lowered his head and bowed, a hint of dejection in his eyes.

The Sindhu High Priest did not have much time left. Wang Chong knew that this would probably be their final conversation.

“Heheh, life and death are decided by fate, and besides, this old monk has already lived for more than ten thousand years, far more than an ordinary person. I have no regrets. All things thrive just as they must decline. Your Highness, there is no need to feel sorrow for this old monk!”

Origin Supreme’s face was calm, his eyes exuding a calm aura that had seen through all things.

“And compared to this old monk’s death, there is an even more important matter, and it is why this old monk called for you on his deathbed.”

Origin Supreme’s expression turned grave.

Wang Chong’s heart thumped as he focused.

“Heaven is about to emerge!” Origin Supreme sternly said.

Bang!

Origin Supreme’s simple sentence instantly stirred up a storm in Wang Chong’s mind.

“What?!!”

Anyone who had some understanding of the Celestial God Organization would understand what Origin Supreme’s words meant.

Up until now, ‘Heaven’ was the sole person on the continent who could be confirmed to have reached the Divine Martial realm, and he was the only person who could call himself a ‘god’.

Not even the Sage Emperor had reached this level!

Wang Chong had been able to suppress the Celestial God Organization, even kill Genesis Supreme, because Heaven’s body was in a sealed state.

If Heaven broke free of his seal and emerged into the world, everything would change. For this world… it would probably be the apocalypse.

Wang Chong glanced at the Arab High Priest, whose calm expression indicated that he already knew.

“But there is no need for you to worry at the moment. Things have not gotten that bad. However, Heaven dispatched Essence Supreme, Grand Supreme, and Radiance Supreme to take a certain insignia from me.”

“Insignia?” Wang Chong repeated, frowning.

“This is it!”

At this time, the Arab High Priest extended a hand, and bright Stellar Energy gushed out of his palm and transformed into a projection of a palm-sized, round insignia.

The insignia was black and gold, and in the center was the depiction of lava and flames.

“A Doomsday Insignia!” Wang Chong blurted out, his body trembling in shock. “How is this possible?”

Wang Chong was no stranger to the Doomsday Insignias, but from what he knew, they were used to open the gate between worlds, allowing the otherworldly invaders to enter on a large scale. How could they be connected to Heaven’s escape?

“You know of it?”

It was the turn of the Arab High Priest and Origin Supreme to be surprised, both of them looking at Wang Chong.

To their knowledge, Wang Chong should have never seen this object before.

“It’s a long story. Senior, what are these insignias? Why are they linked to the imprisoned Heaven? Also, who was it that sealed Heaven? What is the Celestial God Organization?” Wang Chong sternly said, asking several questions at once.

“Even if you didn’t ask these things, I would have told you.”

Origin Supreme was not too perturbed, apparently anticipating these questions from Wang Chong.

“After experiencing this Purification plan, I presume you know that human civilization has not always been the same. After a certain interval, everything will be destroyed. It was not the world sealed in ice that you have seen, but the complete destruction of the world.

“At that stage, all of human civilization will return to zero, and new civilization will emerge from the ruins. This sort of cycle of birth and decline, you can consider an end, but to us, it is an epoch.

“These insignias, what you call Doomsday Insignias, are foundational objects left after the world has collapsed. They contained the laws and foundations of the world, and some other, more complicated things. When an epoch ends, there is a chance of producing a single insignia, so they are extremely precious. There are only seven at this time.”

Wang Chong carefully listened to all of Origin Supreme’s words.

Before this, Wang Chong had been forced to rely on the memories from his last life to draw conclusions. This was the first time someone had ever told him what was going on.
