Sage of Humanity-Chapter 744 - 742: Seeing the Origin

On the desolate mountain, Lu Ye comforted Yiyi with a few words, finally calming her emotions.

After receiving explanations from Lu Ye, she gradually understood the current situation.

"So you're saying that the Soaring Dragon World had already perished a long time ago, and everything we've experienced was just an illusion?"

"To say it was an illusion... isn't exactly wrong, but it's more like a repetition of history."

"Is Liuli really the manifestation of the last Heaven and Earth's Will of the Soaring Dragon?"

"In the history of Soaring Dragon, there was a person named Ye Liuli, but the Liuli we met is different from the real her. The Liuli we encountered carried the last remnants of Origin of this world, as well as the persistent yearning of the Heaven and Earth's Will of this place."

Yiyi asked many more questions, and Lu Ye tried his best to answer them.

At last, a complex emotion emerged on Yiyi's face, "That's also quite good. At least, everything that you've done has been seen by this world. Liuli... she must have been very happy in the end, which is why she gave her power to you."

She gradually let go and showed a smile.

Ever since Ye Liuli dissipated into this world, Yiyi's mood hadn't been very high, not until this moment did she finally resolve her inner conflict.

Lu Ye couldn't help but recall the words Ye Liuli said on Wangyang Peak.

She said she had been waiting for a long time, and that she was almost unable to hold on...

It seemed that during the years since the destruction of the Soaring Dragon, the will of this world's Heaven and Earth had also been struggling, just to witness the possibility that might not have been known when it would appear.

Fortunately, in the end, she saw it.

Putting aside the many thoughts in his heart, Lu Ye looked around.

The journey to the Soaring Dragon World was at an end, but... how to leave this place?

The Little Miracle Healer surely knew how to leave; to her, taking him out of this broken world was probably just a matter of lifting a finger.

But she didn't do so, instead, she intentionally left him behind.

Looking at it this way, the key to departure... must be hidden within this world.

Or rather, it lay within the last of the Origin Power that Ye Liuli had imparted to him.

It seemed he would have to rely on himself.

Atop the mountain, the wind and sand swept through, and the environment was harsh.

Lu Ye led Yiyi and Amber down the desolate mountain and found a suitable spot at the foot of the mountain to create a cave as shelter from the dust and wind.

Sitting cross-legged inside, Lu Ye silently felt his own being.

Ever since Ye Liuli had imparted the last remaining Heaven-Earth Origin to him, he had been constantly busy with the grand scheme of repairing the heavens, occasionally pondering the profundity of it, but never deeply.

Now that he no longer needed to worry about the affairs of the Soaring Dragon, he could calm down and contemplate the mysteries contained within this wondrous power.

Time passed, and Lu Ye remained motionless.

Even though he had received the Origin Power some time ago, what exactly this kind of power was, Lu Ye couldn't clearly say.

It hadn't elevated his cultivation, nor had it increased his psyche's power, and it hadn't even given him any more means to kill enemies or protect himself.

But Lu Ye could still feel that this force existed within him, omnipresent yet impalpable, unseen and untouchable.

Further, with this Origin, his connection to the broken Soaring Dragon World was also incredibly close.

The Little Miracle Healer said this world was his now, which sounded frightening, but wasn't incorrect.

With the Origin coming into his possession, the world now had an owner.

As he delved deeper into understanding the Origin Power, Lu Ye even developed a sense that wherever his mind went, he could do anything in this world.

Of course, that was provided that the remaining power of this world could support his ideas.

Even though he felt it, he didn't rashly try anything because the Soaring Dragon World was already in ruins. If he impulsively drained its power, he feared it might completely disintegrate.

The broken world was a world nonetheless; perhaps in the future, there could be a way to restore it. If it were to completely fall apart, that would be a betrayal of Ye Liuli's final trust.

He continued to ponder.

Suddenly, he saw a faint light within his heart that was almost on the verge of extinguishing.

The last remaining Origin of the Soaring Dragon World!

The moment he caught sight of this light, Lu Ye understood its essence; this was indeed the Origin that Ye Liuli had imparted to him.

Even with the current state of Soaring Dragon right in front of him, it was clear to Lu Ye that the situation of its Origin could not be too good, but still, when the Origin flared into view, Lu Ye was shocked.

The light was as dim as a firefly's glow, flickering and nearly imperceptible. freёwebnoѵel.com

Perhaps the state of the remaining Origin of the Soaring Dragon wasn't so bad in the beginning, but after countless years of waiting and the constant decay of the Soaring Dragon World, it naturally deteriorated.

The strength of the Origin was directly related to the prosperity or desolation of the world itself: the more prosperous the world, the more powerful the Origin.

Given Soaring Dragon's current state, the fact that a trace of Origin had been preserved was already a stroke of incredible luck, so one couldn't afford to ask for too much.

Furthermore, this piece of Origin must have been preserved thanks to the Heaven's Augury of the Nine Provinces; otherwise, it would have dissipated long ago.

Observing the ball of Origin, Lu Ye had a moment of clarity; it wasn't until this moment that he truly became the master of the Soaring Dragon World.

If the Soaring Dragon World were likened to a house, then this ball of Origin was the key to unlocking the door of the house.

Lu Ye had possessed the key for some time but had always been unable to use it.

Now he could take out the key, naturally, he could freely enter and leave this domain.

This also meant that Lu Ye could leave this domain at any time.

"It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be..." Lu Ye's eyebrows slightly rose, no wonder Little Miracle Healer didn't bother with him when she left. It seemed she was certain that he would be able to grasp the intricacies within.

Suddenly, Lu Ye felt a movement in his heart.

If he could freely enter and exit the Soaring Dragon domain, wouldn't it mean that he would have a place to avoid calamities and hide from danger whenever he encountered irresistible threats in the future?

If that were truly the case, then he wouldn't need to fear any pursuit!

In times of danger, he could just hide in the Soaring Dragon World, and come out when the danger had passed. What good methods could the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge have against him then?

However, he also had to guard against others who might be waiting constantly at the original spot, and how to know the danger outside had passed was also a big problem. Perhaps when he left the Soaring Dragon World, he would run right into a strong enemy waiting in ambush...

If such a thing happened, it would be troublesome.

As he thought this, however, Lu Ye felt that his idea might not be realized.

Because what he envisioned was an ideal state, and there must be many things he was not currently aware of.

Although he had found a way to leave this world, Lu Ye did not leave immediately.

Because he had not fully recovered.

When entering one place from another, it's best to keep oneself in perfect condition—this had always been Lu Ye's good habit.

He had entered the Soaring Dragon secret realm from the forbidden land outside the Hundred Arrays Pagoda. If his guess was correct, after leaving the Soaring Dragon World, he would return to that place.

Before that, a large group of cultivators from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge were hunting him.

After such a long time had passed, he didn't know what the situation was like in the forbidden land outside the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, but he still needed to take precautions.

While mending the heavens, he had faced tremendous pressure, and there were already some hidden injuries in his body, with serious consumption as well.

He had not yet completely recovered.

If the Dragon Throne had not been damaged, he wouldn't have feared, draped in the Dragon Throne, no matter how many from the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge came, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

But the Dragon Throne had long been in ruins in true history. Before restoration, there was no way to use it against enemies.

While recuperating, he observed the Origin of the Soaring Dragon World.

Such Origin Power, even if extremely weak, couldn't possibly only have the effect of letting him enter and exit the Soaring Dragon World freely—he desired to explore more mysteries from it.

His psyche slowly submerged into it.

Lu Ye sensed his own insignificance.

Even a feeble Origin was the remnant foundation of a world. It might not look much from the outside, but relative to a Cloud River Realm cultivator like Lu Ye, the inside was unimaginably vast.

At this moment, Lu Ye felt like a fledgling, fearless calf not afraid of tigers, an eagle plunging head-on into the vast stellar space.

And he, was that ignorant eagle...

Before his eyes, Myriad Stars twinkled, countless, beyond billions?

Some of the stars were dim, some were bright, each flickering uncertainly, dazzling to the beholder.

And all of this light, when gathered together, formed that cluster only like the light of a firefly that was the Origin.

Inside the Origin was such a magnificent world!

And...

"What are these?" Lu Ye looked at the incalculable starlight and fell into deep thought.

Although he had peered into this part of the Origin through the convenience of being the master of the Soaring Dragon World, he couldn't figure out what these starlights were.

Focusing, he felt nothing particularly profound from those starlights.

Lu Ye controlled his psyche, moving closer to a nearby point of starlight.

The reason he chose this one was naturally that this starlight was the brightest one nearby.

Without any obstruction, his psyche surged into that point of starlight. Then, the world spun around him, his vision blurred, and the loud cries of babies reached his ears.

A woman's weak moans were heard, and others cheered as they ran outside.

"Born, born, the master, madam has given birth!"

"Boy or girl?"

"Congratulations, master, it's a chubby boy."

"Hahaha, heaven has not forsaken our Qin family; our Qin family finally has an heir!"

...

Chaotic voices entered his ears, leaving Lu Ye utterly bewildered.

Where was this? What had happened?

He was just peering into a point of starlight within the Soaring Dragon Origin. How did everything suddenly become so chaotic?

The infant's cries continued, and it was only then that Lu Ye abruptly realized.

He had become an infant!

That wasn't quite right either. It was as if he had possessed an infant— he could feel the frailness and tenderness of this newborn body, but he was unable to control it.

At this moment, his state was like that of a bystander, standing behind this baby, feeling all that it could feel, seeing all that it could see, but unable to control it.

What... what was going on?
