I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 2141
Chapter 2141: Dusk of a Civilization
Atop the sky, in the depths of the darkness.
A beam of light descended and slammed into the sacrificial altar, ripping a large fissure into the chaotic metal alloy structure before viciously penetrating into it.
Amid this light was none other than the Heaven Crushing Sword, the sword in which the Purple Star Civilization had placed their boundless hopes.
The Heaven Crushing Sword was still as pitch-black as always, with its razor-sharp edge radiating with a dangerous glint. It looked perfect and faultless as if it were the most flawless piece of art.
However, the Purple Star Emperor knew that the countless worlds that had been attached to the Heaven Crushing Sword had already been swallowed by the darkness. The powers of the Purple Star Realm and universe were absent from the blade of the sword as well. At this moment, it was nothing more than a good-looking piece of art…
“We’ve failed, we’ve truly failed…” The face of the Purple Star Emperor was as white as a sheet as he gazed at the scenes of destruction around him. Life, material, energy, structure, karma… Everything was stripped and engulfed by the darkness. The once dazzling Purple Star Civilization was about to be completely erased from the world…
“Everything is returning to darkness, and everything is returning to void.
“Heh… Is this retribution?
“We initially wanted to return the Heavenly Dao to a primitive state of void, yet who would’ve thought that it would be the Purple Star Civilization being returned to a primitive state of void…”
The Purple Star Emperor’s eyes were dull as he quietly mocked himself.
“Was I truly wrong?” he murmured as he gazed up at the sky.
“Of course you were wrong! Purple Star Emperor, you conceited and self-righteous person!
“You didn’t listen to Nuwa’s warning, and you insisted on leading the Purple Star Civilization down this deadly path! Now the entire civilization is going to be erased alongside you. Are you satisfied now?!”
The crisp and furious voice of a woman suddenly traveled into his ears.
There was an expression of agony on the Purple Star Emperor’s face, yet he didn’t regret his decisions. “We humans wanted to break out of the cage that is heaven and earth, and we wanted to advance forward one more step… Is there anything wrong with that?”
The White Spirit Snake’s voice was cold, and she said, “No, there’s nothing wrong with that. However, your method was wrong.”
The Purple Star Emperor shuddered upon hearing this. However, he immediately shook his head and said, “No, we weren’t wrong… This is the ultimate aspiration of the Purple Star Civilization. It’s just that we failed…
“Release her,” the Purple Star Emperor said calmly.
The chains on the White Spirit Snake’s body were unraveled.
However, she didn’t leave. Instead, she sighed softly and said, “What’s the point of releasing me now? None of us can escape. The darkness will eventually erase everything related to the Purple Star Realm. Even if I’m at the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage, there’s still nowhere for me to flee…”
She was extremely powerful, yet it was also because of this that she understood just how terrifying the backlash of the Heavenly Dao was.
The Purple Star Emperor lifted the gigantic white egg before him and gazed at the pure and flawless woman inside. There was a look of deep sorrow and pain in his eyes.
“Bai Ling… I’m sorry… We failed to have you represent the humans and become the paragon…
“We’re going to leave you forever now. However, you can’t die. The Purple Star Civilization can’t die…”
Like surging waves, the power inside the Purple Star Emperor’s body burst out and furiously fused into the white egg.
Knowledge, information, power, cultivation…
At the same time.
The several million powerful beings around the sacrificial altar all raised their arms toward the gigantic white egg as if in tacit understanding. They then made a hugging motion, using the power of their divine sense to send their boundless energy and knowledge into the gigantic white egg.
The surroundings were extremely silent.
Yet, it was this soundless tranquility that carried the final hope of the civilization.
This was the final push by the Purple Star Civilization.
“Obstruct the detection of the Heavenly Dao.
“Escape the clutches of karma.
“Erase all connections.
“Seal all memory, seal all power…”
…
In the end, the gigantic white egg that carried the hope of the entire civilization transformed into a streak of light that flew into the distance.
No darkness pursued it, nor did any energy.
Just like that, the gigantic white egg transformed into the last wisp of light in the dark sky. Countless members of the Purple Star Civilization gazed at that light, which was like a rapidly disappearing meteor.
It had once existed, and it had once illuminated the night sky with its dazzling radiance.
However, it was destined to vanish into the distance.
“If there’s a chance, I hope you can apologize for the Purple Star Civilization.
“I hope you can atone for our sins…”
A glistening tear rolled from the corner of the Purple Star Emperor’s eye as he gazed at the rapidly vanishing egg.
The White Spirit Snake looked on, observing everything that was occurring before her.
Just a moment ago, the Purple Star Emperor had still said that he wasn’t wrong.
Now, however, he was asking someone else to apologize for them?
Could he not change his mind so quickly?
Although the White Spirit Snake was grumbling in her mind, she truly couldn’t be bothered voicing her complaints out loud. She was also experiencing the last moments of her life, so how could she be in the mood to argue with the Purple Star Emperor over such trivial matters?
Like a vast curtain, darkness slowly descended upon the land. It was just about to engulf the entire Purple Star State.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deafening explosions rumbled across the land.
At this moment, countless defensive cannons were activated.
This was the final struggle of a civilization.
One after another, countless devastating cannonballs transformed into streaks of dazzling light as they soared into the sky and erupted amid the darkness. However, they were unable to cause even a ripple among the darkness.
The most advanced weapons of the Purple Star Civilization were all activated at this moment, all of them wild as they attacked the darkness. They wanted to fight for even the smallest shred of survival. However, the darkness was like a black hole, swallowing every single attack that was thrown its way.
Their counterattack was limp and ineffective.
At this moment, the confident, haughty, or conceited members of the Purple Star Civilization all became weaklings; weaklings who were instilled with a sense of terror and remorse. One after another, the members of the Purple Star Civilization were mercilessly engulfed by the darkness.
Several million, hundreds of millions, tens of billions…
As the wave of darkness passed, the land that had once been bustling and full of life was now a broken and twisted expanse of dark land. The miraculous structures, the magnificent research facilities, the picturesque divine mountains… Before the darkness, everything was viewed as one, and everything was obliterated into lifeless and unremarkable dust.
There were tears in the Purple Star Emperor’s eyes as he gazed at the disappearing city and the disappearing humans. He stood upright and unwavering, quietly watching on… quietly watching on…
Eventually, the darkness constricted and arrived at the core of the sacrificial altar.
Around the ultimate sacrificial altar…
There were tears in the eyes of the several million powerful beings as they started to vanish one after another.
They didn’t resist, and they silently accepted the wrath of the heavens.
Darkness descended like a tsunami, starting from the outer fringes as it engulfed the most elite humans of the Purple Star Civilization. Before long, it finally surged toward the center of the sacrificial altar.
The Purple Star Emperor spread his arms, saying, “Come, show me…”
However, he was engulfed by the darkness before he could even finish his sentence.
The White Spirit Snake pursed her pink lips. Like the others, there were also tears glistening in her eyes.
“Sorry, Your Majesty Nuwa. I couldn’t stop them…
“I…”
However, just like the Purple Star Emperor, her slender and shapely body was engulfed by the darkness before she could even finish speaking.
Everything descended into darkness.
A great civilization—a civilization that was like the most dazzling star—was comprehensively engulfed by darkness…
…
Amid the void of darkness.
Pitter-patter…
Pitter-patter…
The sound of rain suddenly appeared.
That was the sound of rain drumming onto the land.
Why is it raining?
Hang on…
Something’s wrong!
Aren’t I already dead?!
The White Spirit Snake opened her eyes with much difficulty. Through her blurry senses, she discovered that she was currently being carried by someone. Her slender and snow-white snake tail was coiled as it was held by a large hand, and her back was more so being lightly supported by a warm hand.
Her vision gradually regained clarity.
There was still a gaping hole in the sky.
This looked like a deep-blue and circular vortex, with its center a deep and profound black.
The violent and broken nomological laws continued to expand.
The chaotic currents of destruction continued to wreak havoc.
Purple rain poured down on the land, drenching her white clothes and revealing her slender and graceful figure. At the same time, they drenched the black-haired and black-eyed man who was currently carrying her.
Perhaps it was this strange man who had rescued her?
The White Spirit Snake was slightly dazed, and she stammered, “S-senior…?”
