Chapter 2378 - An Lushan and Heaven! (1/2)

In the war of the northeast, An Lushan had been defeated, bringing down Genesis Supreme with him. Normally, An Lushan’s soul would have been given to Essence Supreme to handle, but Heaven had made an exception and taken the soul with him.

Though this was strange, Essence Supreme had never questioned Heaven’s decisions too much.

Heaven nodded. “Mm. He has been in this state ever since he was brought back. After so long, We have gotten used to it.”

However, after saying this, Heaven also turned his head and rebuked, “Shut your mouth!”

On the other side, it seemed like An Lushan’s soul didn’t hear, continuing to miserably howl.

Heaven couldn’t help but frown at this sight.

Ever since Heaven had rescued An Lushan, his soul had been in a very bizarre state, disordered and lost, as if he had completely lost his mind.

Initially, he had attempted to fix An Lushan, but nothing he had done had worked.

“Wang Chong, I’ll kill you! Kill you!”

An Lushan roared, his hatred reaching to the heavens, his entire being frenzied and crazed. He appeared to be immersed in his own world.

“It seems that his mind has completely collapsed. In his current state, he’s no better than a cripple,” Essence Supreme said after a few moments of silence.

An Lushan had almost been about to obtain everything, and even Heaven and Essence Supreme had thought about making him the World Emperor once the operation was over. Alas, at the final moment, when the light of victory was already visible, it had all been destroyed by the explosives Wang Chong had buried within the steel fortress.

More importantly, besides this, Essence Supreme also knew that Wang Chong and An Lushan had a very strong personal grudge between them.

When a person’s pillars of support and convictions crumbled, they would end up like An Lushan.

Essence Supreme was saying that An Lushan could already be abandoned, but Heaven insisted on keeping him.

“You are wrong.”

Heaven shook his head, seeming to know what Essence Supreme was thinking.

“A person who can receive the acknowledgement of the World Consciousness cannot be that simple. Moreover, I cannot understand why, after countless epochs and countless talented individuals, the World Consciousness would choose him to be the Child of the World. There must be something special about him.”

An Lushan had always believed that ‘Child of the World’ was a title that the Celestial God Organization had granted him, even believed that the phenomena on his body were their doing. Only Heaven knew that he had actually done nothing. All of those things had been through An Lushan’s own power.

“There is also something else that you’re wrong about. He truly has lost control and fallen into disarray, but he has not gone crazy. Different from what you imagined, his mind and convictions have not crumbled.”

Heaven paused before adding, “Ever since I brought him here, his state has been rather strange. It is like the energy of another world has been seeping into his mind.”

“Another world?”

Essence Supreme was shocked by this, even that fingernail-sized mental fragment fiercely trembling.

Heaven had never mentioned this before.

“The otherworldly invaders?” Essence Supreme asked.

When it came to other worlds, his mind immediately went to the world of the otherworldly invaders.

“No!”

To his surprise, Heaven shook his head and directly rejected the idea.

“At the start, I also suspected that it was connected to that world, but I quickly realized that this was not the case. The attributes of that energy are the most similar to our world.”

Essence Supreme was taken aback, not understanding Heaven’s meaning. If the energy was similar to this world, then it probably was from this world. Why had Heaven called it ‘another world’?

Heaven saw this and chuckled, apparently knowing the question on Essence Supreme’s mind.

“There are some things that We are unable to explain to you in detail. We have inspected his memories, and in the end, We found strange memory fragments that appeared to be very similar to our world, but also completely different.

“Many of these memory fragments had him in them, but the events within had never happened, and there were also events that seemed to be from the future. At first, We believed that this was an error in his memories. However, later on, We discovered that these were not his memories, but had simply appeared in his mind.

“It appears to be a world similar to ours, but events there developed in an entirely different fashion. There are too few fragments, so We cannot find out too much, nor can We understand what sort of state he is in.”

Heaven tightly furrowed his brow. Few things could pose a difficulty to Heaven, but he truly did not know what was going on with An Lushan’s strange state.

Boom!

As Heaven was speaking, suddenly, without any warning, the sealed dimension trembled as if an invisible hand was shaking it about.

“This…”

Even Heaven was alarmed by this development. No one understood the sealed dimension more than him. In normal circumstances, even the world’s collapse would barely affect it.

“Great One, this!”

Sensing what was happening, Essence Supreme began to panic a little.

“This is a powerful force!”

But Heaven appeared to not hear him. He was much stronger than Essence Supreme, and he could sense that a powerful energy was rapidly approaching.

No—it was not right to call it ‘energy’. It appeared more like a clash of continent on continent, a collision of world upon world.

Kaclack!
