Chapter 2420: The Golden Seed Sprouts!
What did the gods matter?
What did destiny matter?
Was it the fate of those puny and meager beings to be regarded as ants and stomped on?
Were the powerful allowed to regard themselves as gods and kill as they pleased?
No!
He would not permit it!
If this was the world’s destiny, he would destroy it and tear off the fetters that bound all living beings!
He would never concede!
Never give up!
Even at the moment of death, he would not yield, let alone give up!
No, this isn’t the ending!
This isn’t how things should end!
It’s not over yet! Heaven, you will never win!!
Rumble!
Wang Chong’s heart was filled with unwillingness, hatred, and anger. All of this ultimately clumped together and transformed into a furious bellow.
Wang Chong’s heart was pierced, his body shattered, his Stellar Energy scattered. He was already dead!
But as this immense grudge took form, his terrifying emotional pulses surpassed death, dragging Wang Chong’s soul back from the brink of death.
Boom!
Suddenly, the sky above the Turkic steppe darkened, becoming as black as night, and a giant bolt of lightning exploded in the heavens.
Even Heaven seemed to sense something, and he grimaced.
In the darkness of another world, a voice rang out.
“User’s intense emotional pulses detected!”
Wang Chong felt a familiar strength, and in the darkness, Wang Chong saw the Stone of Destiny once more.
Buzz!
Before Wang Chong had time to react, an invisible energy descended, and Wang Chong felt his consciousness being pulled into another dimension—the internal dimension of the Stone of Destiny.
After what seemed like one second and like countless epochs, Wang Chong saw a blurry figure appear in a warm light.
“You’re finally here!”
Wang Chong didn’t know who it was at first, but a moment later, he recognized this man.
“Your Majesty!”
Wang Chong trembled in shock, disbelief in his eyes. The one who had appeared before him was none other than the deceased Sage Emperor.
But he recalled that the Sage Emperor’s mind had already fallen into disarray and had been placed in the Stone of Destiny’s Foundation Dimension to recover. How…
The Stone of Destiny…
Wang Chong suddenly understood.
The Sage Emperor took two steps forward and said, “You’ve already sensed it, right?”
The outlines of his body grew clearer. It was still the same dignified and gentle gaze, but Wang Chong knew that this was only a sliver of the Sage Emperor’s soul.
No, this was not completely true. Wang Chong could sense that the Sage Emperor’s mental fragment was still sleeping within the Foundation Dimension, which meant that… this ‘Sage Emperor’ was something the Sage Emperor had left behind beforehand.
Wang Chong could also sense that there was more than one soul of this nature within this dimension—eight in all. Moreover, Wang Chong could sense an energy similar to his on their bodies.
“This is… the Stones of Destiny!”
As several thoughts flashed through his mind, Wang Chong instantly understood what was going on.
Buzz!
Several more figures swiftly appeared in the void. Their bodies were abnormally blurry, and it was impossible to make out their faces, but Wang Chong knew that these people were all holders of Stones of Destiny.
Buzz!
Upon thinking about this, Wang Chong realized that all of the figures behind the Sage Emperor had projections of the Stone of Destiny on the center of their foreheads.
“What is going on here?” Wang Chong sternly said.
“This is destiny for all of us!” the Sage Emperor said, a sliver of deep expectation in his eyes.
“Everything has arrived at the crucial moment. You should have already felt the deep helplessness we felt back then, the anger and unwillingness. Just like you, we did everything in our power, sacrificed everything to battle Heaven. Alas, we failed. Many of us had our Stones of Destiny seized by Heaven. However, Wang Chong, you are different!”
The Sage Emperor looked at Wang Chong with a sense of pride and gratification.
“Wang Chong, you are the last holder of the Stone of Destiny, and its most unique holder. Most importantly, you have something that none of us possess.”
“What?” Wang Chong unconsciously asked.
“You have a stronger will than ours, one that surpasses death. You have a deeper understanding of this world than us, a greater comprehension, and a stronger desire to protect it,” the Sage Emperor solemnly said.
Wang Chong was left flabbergasted by these words.
“I know that there are still some things that you do not understand, but the fact you could enter this place and see the wills we left behind says enough. If you were not able to enter this place, all of our expectations would have come to nothing, and this world would fall under Heaven’s control, becoming his toy and entering an endless cycle.”
Wang Chong was silent, countless thoughts running through his mind. He somewhat understood that all of this was linked to his anger and unwillingness.
In his last life, his intense desire had triggered the power of the Stone of Destiny and caused him to be reborn. And now, it appeared that the same power had unlocked the Stone of Destiny and allowed him into the hidden dimension to ‘see’ the Sage Emperor.
“Let me tell him!” Another voice rang out.
One of the eight figures behind the Sage Emperor walked out.
“Xuanyuan?”
Wang Chong found it hard to conceal the shock in his eyes.
