Chapter 448: A Pantheon of Outer Gods
In the northernmost region of the Fourth World, the Giant Abyssal Serpent wandered aimlessly through the night sky in his human form.
His appearance and demeanor bore an uncanny resemblance to Pang Jian.
Flying vessels carrying the Ghost Race, the Wood Race, and the Radiant Race mistook him for a human, only to sense overwhelming blood essence radiating from him when they approached.
His aura, filled with darkness and savagery, was the distilled essence of murky energy from a certain region in the Fifth World.
The approaching foreign races immediately realized that this black-clad youth was, in fact, a Rank Eight Great Fey originating from the Fifth World.
Their flying vessels would then promptly veer away without uttering a single word.
When Vicious and Spirit Beasts flocking toward Northern Qi from various worlds crossed paths with the Giant Abyssal Serpent, those with underdeveloped intelligence would instinctively keep their distance.
The Giant Abyssal Serpent had since recalled fragments of memories but still could not fully piece them together. He gazed up at the sky before turning his eyes toward a Celestial Race stronghold in the Fourth World.
Where should I go? Should I seek her? Or him?
He did not know where he belonged.
His intelligence had awakened after becoming Rank Eight, allowing him to grasp his extraordinary bloodline and the ancient enmity between his kin, the Fey Race, and the foreign races of the Fifth World.@@@@
However, the ancient Fey Race within Northern Qi had already reached an agreement with those foreign races despite this enmity.
Even disregarding these politics, he could not deny that the awakening of his intelligence made it difficult for him to view Yu Xin of the Celestial Race the way he did before.
He simply could no longer see himself as her subordinate or mount.
Even if I sought her out, how would I face her?
The lack of answers to his existential questions left him indecisive and hesitant.
He recalled stepping out of the small world within Pang Jian's bronze pendant and fighting alongside Pang Jian at Blackwater Pond.
It knew Pang Jian kept some secrets from the human race, but he was still a part of them.
The ancient Fey Race hiding in Northern Qi had no desire to associate with the human race this time, and the arrival of the ancient Thunder Dragon from the Dragon Lair Sect signaled that the Fey Race on the Sacred Soul Continent was following suit.
As a member of the Fey Race, he needed to assess the broader situation carefully. During this chaotic time, it would be unwise to associate too closely with Pang Jian.
Many unanswered questions raced through his mind.
How could two souls merge so seamlessly? Why can I recall memories of another life?
Who am I?
The Giant Abyssal howled, lost and without answers.
Then, transforming into a menacing dark dragon, he flew toward the Fey Spirit Continent in the Fourth World with a ferocious roar.
Through it all, the Giant Abyssal Serpent ignored Pang Jian's repeated inquiries and actively refused to establish a connection with him.
***
Dong Tianze and Zhou Qingchen had taken over two abandoned wooden huts that rogue cultivators had once used in the Cloud Wilderness.
Both their sects had been destroyed and the few who cared for them were dead.
They were naturally overwhelmed with grief and needed time to adjust.
Pang Jian sat in front of his wooden hut, repeatedly trying to establish a connection with the Giant Abyssal Serpent.
All his attempts were met with silence.
The ancient Thunder Dragon killed him? Did he remember who he was?
Pang Jian sought advice from the black turtle on the distant Sacred Soul Continent and told him about the Giant Abyssal Serpent's situation.
There have been many Fey Gods throughout the history of the Fey Race, but few survived the passing of time.
"He says he's hiding near the edge of the bizarre mist and assures us there's no need to worry.
"Also, Junior Brother has advanced to the Nirvana Realm."
Jiang Ran's eyes widened in shock.
Guang He clenched his fist tightly before slowly releasing it, then remarked calmly, "The Pavilion Master has an exceptionally keen eye."
Jiang Ran abruptly stood up, only to sit back down, and gently nodded.
***.
There was no sky above nor ground below in the realm of eternal darkness.
It was a place of endless desolation.
In this void was a sword gleaming with a blackish-golden hue.
Several golden dragon claws were skewered through the sword like candied hawthorns as it slowly absorbed them.
With each passing day, the sword transformed bit by bit.
The sword waited patiently in this absolute darkness, clinging to the hope that Pang Jian would come once it absorbed the dragon's claws.
It was much calmer in the void than before.
Eventually, the dragon claws disappeared completely.
The Abyssal Demon Sword had absorbed both the claws and horns of the Five-Clawed Gold Dragon.
One day, the dark sky changed.
Countless stars lined the sky and a luminous full moon appeared.
The Abyssal Demon instantly knew that Pang Jian had arrived.
Only Pang Jian could cause the Heaven-Earth Cosmos Chest and its infinite darkness to be filled with light.
The Abyssal Demon sensed Pang Jian's presence and saw a hand reaching out to grasp the now blackish-gold divine sword.
Not bad. You've absorbed them all.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Projections of Pang Jian's and the Abyssal Demon's consciousness emerged from the Heaven-Earth Cosmos Chest to hover above the dense bizarre mist.
The stars above loomed large, and grand palaces stood majestically on the cold moon.
Several Outer Gods have arrived with their true forms above, said the Abyssal Demon, now in the form of a shifting black-gray cloud. I can sense them. It's the Outer Gods that the Ghost Race and the Wood Race worship. Even the Frost Crystal God is there.
It seems the Outer Gods are deeply concerned about the situation in the Abyss, Pang Jian sneered coldly.
Then, fearing the Outer Gods would detect his presence, he quickly retreated back into the chest with the Abyssal Demon.
He Motian was there too! The Great Demon God He Motian has arrived in the starry sky above the Abyss! The Abyssal Demon shuddered, then warned, Be wary of the one wielding the Purple Demon Eye.
When the Abyss opens, He Motian will be able to sense the divine image tied to him inside the Purple Demon Eye!
He Motian could corrupt that boy and turn him into his puppet.
The best solution is to kill him as soon as possible and let me devour He Motian's divine image! the Abyssal Demon cried within the sword.
Pang Jian did not respond.
After getting out of the chest, he gazed at the sky above with a bitter expression.
Li Zhaotian's solution was to join forces with the Fey Race to break through the barrier and seize the worlds in the starry skies.
However, a pantheon of Outer Gods was already standing ready outside.
