Chapter 1332: Just One Step Away

Looking at the light in his hand, Xu Qing recalled the scene of his battle with the God Lord of the Mother River outside the Wanggu.

At that time, he had used the other party's Godly Authority and his own constitution to trace the origin of his Divine Powers.

He had obtained Perception from the Morning Glow.

He understood that the Morning Glow was one ten-thousandth of the mysterious light that the Brilliant Heaven God Clan worshipped!

And this mysterious light traced back …

It was the first ray of light that appeared when the Wanggu was formed.

"Looking at it now, there is a reason why the Brilliant Heaven God Clan worshipped the Wanggu Light. After all, there are crystals in their bodies, especially the light cones in their heads.

"I just don't know if they were originally like this, or if they changed their form because they worshipped the first ray of light."

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and clenched his right hand.

Immediately, the light cones in his hand shattered and turned into powder.

The light contained within flowed into Xu Qing's body through his palm and fused with his Morning Glow.

After doing this, Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the Brilliant Heaven world with a strange look in his eyes.

He was looking forward to this trip to the Brilliant Heaven God Clan.

"After the Brilliant Heaven God Clan members die, they will emit such a light."

"We studied this light back then and thought it was strange, but we found that most of it didn't last long. Occasionally, we tried to fuse with the rising sun of the Wanggu, and it was preserved."

Master Seven put away the waves in his heart and looked at Xu Qing.

"The Dao you possess has continued to exist in this manner until now."

"In fact, the light left behind by the Brilliant Heaven God Clan members after their deaths is only one ten-thousandth of the source. The true source has always been worshipped by the Brilliant Heaven God Clan."

"At the very least, that's how they behaved when we arrived. According to some investigations back then, this race… seems to have been born from that light."

"They called that light… the Origin Light."

"In the end, even if the Brilliant Heaven God Clan failed and was sealed by the Deep Earth, that light was still preserved by them."

"After we won, we were also in a tragic situation. Therefore, we didn't want to push the Brilliant Heaven God Clan to the extreme, so we didn't take it by force."

Master Seven's voice was mottled with history and drifted away like dust in the sky.

After that, he glanced at the plains before him once more. As if he had severed the fetters in his heart, he raised his foot and left with a single step.

"The old man is missing his Master. He's been waiting all this time, but after waiting for so long, he finally discovered that the person who returned was no longer that person."

Er Niu came to Xu Qing's side and looked at Master Seven's back as he left. His tone was heavy.

"Most things in the world are like this."

Er Niu sighed. He seemed to have thought of something and felt a little dispirited.

Xu Qing did not speak. He thought of Er Niu, who was crying in the ruins in the space-time turbulence.

"Master's past is no longer shrouded in mystery, but Eldest Senior Brother…"

Xu Qing looked at Er Niu. He did not ask why his eldest senior brother was like that in the chaotic flow of time.

Everyone was an independent individual with their own secrets and shackles.

Master had it, Erniu had it, and Xu Qing recalled that he also had it.

Thus, in silence, Xu Qing walked to Er Niu's side and followed Grandpa Seven as they strolled through Brilliant Heaven.

As they walked, it was as if they had returned to the underground palace back then.

Time continued to flow. One hour later, Zhou Zhengli and the others had already destroyed the temples and destroyed the gods, causing the entire Brilliant Heaven to become even more chaotic. Xu Qing's group of three had arrived at their destination.

It was a boundless sea!

It was like a ferocious beast roaring in rage.

The color of the sea was pitch black and gave off a bloody aura. It was as if no matter how much time passed, the power of time could not invade this place and make the color and blood of the sea disappear.

Aside from this, there was also a dense divine might and immortal intent here that repelled each other like fire and water.

It caused waves in the world and caused storms in the sea. It continued all year round.

As for Er Niu's main body, it was on an island in the sea.

"This is also the only place I couldn't see through when I scanned it with my divine sense."

Xu Qing's gaze fell on the sea before him and he seemed to be deep in thought.

Master Seven's voice also echoed at this moment.

"Fourth Brother, Eldest Brother, remember this place."

Master Seven's expression was solemn.

"This sea is where the first immortal of my Deep Earth fought the Brilliant Heaven God Emperor!"

"That battle lasted for a long time. In the end, the Brilliant Heaven God Emperor was beheaded and his body shattered."

"His head was taken away by the Summer immortal Palace and his body fell and became a black sea."

"As for him, the first immortal of the Deep Earth… He fell here and only his soul remained. Later, He became the first Heavenly Dao of the Wanggu."

"It can be said that without him, there would be no Wanggu."

As Master Seven spoke, he bowed toward the sea.

Xu Qing and Er Niu also bowed.

As the three of them bowed, the sea began to rumble, and the waves grew even more intense. The Immortal will within the black sea grew even more intense. Prismatic light began to shine out from within the black sea, illuminating the Heavens.

It took a long time for the rainbow light to dissipate.

At the same time as the rainbow light dissipated, an island appeared in the distance.

"Master, Eldest Senior Brother's main body is there."

Xu Qing's gaze fell on the island.

Master Seven glanced at it.

"You're quite good at finding places."

Er Niu also recovered from his heavy state and was about to speak.

Master Seven had already taken a step forward.

Er Niu blinked and turned to look at Xu Qing.

"Little Ah Qing, next, you will see that your Eldest Senior Brother wasn't bragging."

Xu Qing smiled and took Er Niu to cross the sea in one step.

When he appeared, he had already appeared on the island with Master Seven and stood in front of a dilapidated temple.

The temple should have been incomparably huge, but now it was in ruins and the door was broken, so they could see the inside at a glance.

Inside the temple, there was a huge head placed in the corner beside the rubble of the collapsed statue.

It was Er Niu's head!

Beside him, there was also a mouse that did not have much hair left. It was lying lazily on the ground. Occasionally, it would swing its tail and send some jerky that it had gotten from somewhere into Er Niu's mouth.

The appearance of Xu Qing and the others attracted the mouse's attention. Its eyes suddenly constricted, and it jumped up in an instant. It skillfully picked up the head and was about to escape.

"Little Qing, don't run. It's me!"

Almost at the moment the mouse was about to escape, Er Niu, who was outside the temple, hurriedly shouted.

Xu Qing raised his eyebrows.

As for the mixed fur mouse, it paused and looked at Er Niu suspiciously.

Er Niu walked over quickly. With an excited expression, his body turned into a blue light and directly entered the head that had its eyes closed.

The main body merged with the clone.

In the next moment, his mind shook, and his closed eyes slowly opened.

Seeing this, the mouse was immediately pleasantly surprised.

"Where is your flesh?"

Master Seven also walked into the temple at this moment. He looked at the head on the ground and sighed.

Er Niu coughed and was about to speak.

Suddenly, the sound of the waves outside the island rose, accompanied by the roar of heaven and earth. It was as if countless heavenly thunders had exploded.

The entire island trembled, and the sea outside roared endlessly. The waves were even more shocking than before.

Then… the boundless sea started to sink!

The seawater was churning at an unprecedented speed, and it sank rapidly, as if it was being sucked away!

In just a dozen breaths of time, the entire ocean had dried up!

The entire bottom of the sea was exposed, revealing the mountain range.

The island where Xu Qing and the other two were on was the peak of a huge mountain in a mountain range!

And under this mountain range, there was a huge and shocking corpse!

The corpse had no head, and its body seemed to be pieced together.

The mountain range grew on its body.

The sea water was also sucked away by it.

Divine power surged from his body.

It caused endless heterogeneity to churn in the sky.

But this was not the most shocking thing …

The most shocking thing was that there was a layer of blue worms crawling all over the corpse!

These worms were densely packed, and their numbers were difficult to count. Some had even drilled into the corpse through the wounds, and all of them were… crazily biting!

Looking at this scene, Master Seven was also stunned.

Xu Qing's eyes also narrowed.

On the ground, Er Niu's head jumped up at this moment and landed on Xu Qing's shoulder, laughing arrogantly.

"Old man, didn't you ask about my flesh? My flesh is all there."

"And Little Ah Qing, look, I wasn't bragging, right?"

"Give me enough time, and I can completely devour the Brilliant Heaven God Emperor who is preparing to be resurrected. Then, won't I unite the Brilliant Heaven?

Isn't this just one step away?! "
