My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 1813
Chapter 1813: The Great Feat of Reconstructing the World
Xia Zhengrong asked curiously, “Who’s worthy of Mr. Seventh waiting for him or her?”
Si Wuya smiled and said, “A very important person who’s related to the future of mankind and heaven and earth.”
Xia Zhengrong suppressed his curiosity before he asked, “But didn’t you say that if we don’t suppress the power of the earth, the nine domains might collapse as well when the Great Void falls?”
The fall of the sky would affect the earth as well, after all. To protect the earth, they could only rely on the Heaven Suppressing Pestles.
At this moment, a burst of laughter rang in the air before a voice said, “Xia Zhengrong, you don’t have to worry about this! Just listen to Mr. Seventh!”
Xia Zhengrong turned and saw that it was Xiao Yunhe, the former Tower Master of the Black Council Tower. He nodded.
The grudge between the duo had been settled after hundreds of years had passed. The grudge had long been reduced to dust. Moreover, even if the grudge was not resolved, faced with the survival of mankind, they still knew how to prioritize and distinguish between right and wrong.
Si Wuya looked at Xiao Yunhe and asked, “How’s the front line?”
“Everything’s going well. But it’s war so it’s hard to avoid bloodshed,” Xiao Yunhe said. At the same time, he casually waved his hand.
A talisman lit up before a projection appeared in the air. Although the projection was a little unstable, one could still see what was going on. It would likely be impossible to use runic passages now, but it was still possible to use runes on talismans to communicate.
…
In the projections, the human alliance was engaged in a force battle with the fierce beasts. Corpses were strewn all over the ground. It was a bloody scene.
There were veterans who experienced countless battles, and there were also rookies fighting their first war. Without exception, all of them were covered in blood.
Xiao Yunhe cut off the projection. Then, he said with a sigh, “I wonder when this will pass…”
Si Wuya said, “I believe it won’t be long.”
Si Wuya knew the duo had contributed greatly to the peace in the black lotus domain. He brought out a talisman.
The first projection showed the first disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion, Yu Zhenghai, in Feng’an, the eastern capital of the twin lotus domain. The first disciple of Autumn Dew Mountain, Hua Yin, was with him. The duo stood on a mountain of corpses as they looked ahead. At the back, there was an incomparably huge pillar; it was the Heaven Suppressing Pestle. It was slowly sinking into the ground at this moment.
Xiao Yun exclaimed in admiration, “Mr. First is brave and strong. The Heaven Suppressing Pestle has already begun to suppress the power of the earth there…”
The second projection showed Yu Shangrong in Luo Yang, the western capital of the twin lotus domain. He was killing hundreds of thousands of fierce beasts as the Longevity Sword in his hand released countless red energy swords. The Heaven Suppressing Pestle had also successfully entered the earth.
Xiao Yunhe said again, “Mr. Second is just like a walking divine weapon.”
Si Wuya nodded as he said, “These are the projections from Feng’an and Luo Yang, the eastern and western capitals of the twin lotus domains. The local historians have already begun to record this.” Then, he said as though he was reciting something he had read, “In the 45th year of the reign of Emperor Wen of Great Han, mankind encountered a never-seen-before disaster in 100,000 years. A divine figure descended from the sky, holding the Heaven Suppressing Pestle. He slaughtered millions of fierce beasts and suppressed the power of the earth.”
Xia Zhengrong was stunned. Then, he asked, “What about the others?”
Si Wuya said, “I’ve only received messages.” Then, he looked at the scenery outside the tower as he said with a smile, “Eighth Junior Brother and Jian Bing have already suppressed the power of the earth in the yellow lotus domain. Fifth Senior Sister quickly completed the mission and has returned to the golden lotus domain. Sixth Senior Sister and Holy Maiden Xihe are also finishing up at the white lotus domain. Third Senior Brother has the help of Ying Long so there’s no need to worry about the red lotus domain. Just an hour ago, Junior Sister Conch has successfully suppressed the power of the earth in the green lotus domain.”
Xia Zhengrong and Xiao Yunhe nodded as they listened to Si Wuya.
Xiao Yunhe said, “Just words describing the other disciples alone aren’t as domineering as watching Mr. First and Mr. Second in action.”
They laughed.
Then, Xia Zhengrong sighed and said in a low voice, “To be honest, when Senior Lu broke the 3,000 runes on my black tower, I hated him for a long time. At that time, I thought that I had to cultivate harder so I could seek revenge from him. For 100 years, I cultivated diligently, but I learned later that he and the Evil Sky Pavilion were an existence that terrifies even the Great Void.”
Xiao Yunhe rolled his eyes and said, “You couldn’t even defeat me, but you thought about seeking revenge from Pavilion Master Lu?”
“Well, I really hated him…” Xia Zhengrong said sheepishly.
Si Wuya turned and asked, “What about now?”
Xia Zhengrong said, “How can I still hate him now? All that’s left is respect. I don’t have Pavilion Master Lu’s strength nor do I have the courage of his ten disciples. I can only hide in the black tower and be a leader of a small place. If I were in his shoes, and someone tells me that the sky is going to collapse, my first choice would’ve been to escape…” After a pause, he added, “In hindsight, that 100 years of stupidity really woke me up…”
The trio chuckled.
“Mr. Seventh, the power of the earth in the purple lotus domain and the black lotus domain has yet to be suppressed. Isn’t it still dangerous?” Xiao Yunhe asked.
Si Wuya replied, “Don’t worry. Everything is under control. According to the time, my master should be on his way to the Sacred Region now.”
“Pavilion Master Lu is the strongest person in the world. If he can suppress Ming Xin, the world will be fine,” Xia Zhengrong said, brimming with anticipation.
As soon as Xia Zhengrong’s voice fell…
Buzz!
The familiar sound of energy resonance rang in the air.
The fluctuation of energy was extremely intense.
Xia Zhengrong and Xiao Yunhe were both shocked. They were about to make a move when Si Wuya stopped them.
Si Wuya smiled faintly and said in a soft voice, “He’s here.”
“What?”
“Both of you, stand aside,” Si Wuya said. Then, he patted their shoulders and said, “Don’t worry.”
Due to their trust in Si Wuya, the duo nodded and whispered to him to be careful before they turned around and walked a distance away.
Si Wuya looked in the direction where the energy was fluctuating.
The wind at the top of the black tower was unusually cool.
The dark sky made people feel gloomy, but it did not affect Si Wuya’s mood at all.
As expected, the newcomer quickly located Si Wuya’s location. In just a few breaths, a figure appeared in front of Si Wuya. The translucent figure slowly solidified, revealing Ming Xin, who was dressed in a long robe and standing with his hands on his back. His body glowed with a faint light as well. His aura alone greatly pressured all of the cultivators in the Black Tower Council. With just a light stomp of his foot, the black tower, which was known as the place where experts gathered in the black lotus domain, would be destroyed.
When Ming Xin saw how calm Si Wuya was, he was very surprised.
Before Ming Xin spoke, Si Wuya called out, “Greetings, Great Emperor.”
Ming Xin landed next to Si Wuya and asked, “You knew that I was coming to look for you?”
Si Wuya nodded and smiled. “My instincts told me you’ll definitely come looking for me.”
Ming Xin looked into the distance and said with a sigh, “Since ancient times, people as confident as you never had a good ending.”
“That’s not important,” Si Wuya said with a shrug.
“My time is limited. You’ve left the Great Void for a long time, and it’s time for you to follow me back to the Sacred Region,” Ming Xin said. He raised his hand that was glowing faintly.
Si Wuya hurriedly asked, “Do you really need the ten great laws to reconstruct the world?”
Ming Xin was slightly startled. He looked at Si Wuya and asked, “You know about this?”
“Ever since the ten disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion joined the Great Void, you don’t care about anything, not even the collapse of the Pillars of Destruction. On the contrary, the only thing you cared about was us comprehending the Great Dao. The ten great laws are the foundation of the workings of the world. Apart from reconstructing the world, I really can’t think of another reason,” Si Wuya said. If he was right, then Ming Xin’s previous actions all made sense.
“You’re indeed very smart,” Ming Xin said.
The Sacred Temple ignored Tu Wei’s death, the collapse of the Dunzang’s Pillar of Destruction, and Zui Can’s death. Ming Xin only wanted the ten owners of the Great Void Seeds to comprehend the Great Dao. Other matters were not important compared to reconstructing the world. By reconstructing the world, one would be able to preserve one’s life. What was more important than that?
Si Wuya said calmly, “I admire Your Majesty for having such a lofty goal. Alas, your plan is going to be ruined.”
Ming Xin asked, “How many years have you lived? What gave you the confidence?”
“Just facts,” Si Wuya replied.
“I thought you were smart. Even if you don’t have great wisdom, you should be able to understand the nature of the world. The ‘truth’ you see is probably just the small piece of sky you’re seeing at the bottom of the well. Qi Sheng, you’re still very young. Many things aren’t as simple as you think,” Ming Xin said.
This was within Si Wuya’s expectations. He knew that Ming Xin would definitely not listen to his reasoning. Ming Xin was a divine emperor who had lived for a long time and had also been in a high position for a very long time. It was simply wishful thinking to expect him to listen to the reasoning of a young man.
Si Wuya said, “Your Majesty, why don’t I make a bet with you?” Then, without waiting for a reply, he quickly said, “I’ll help you reconstruct the world to prove to you that you won’t succeed. If you fail, give up on your obsession and focus on maintaining the balance. How about it?”
Ming Xin laughed heartily upon hearing this; it was so loud that it echoed in the sky. He said, “Qi Sheng, how are you going to help me?”
Ming Xin did not think he would fail at all.
Si Wuya replied, “I can promise I won’t run away, but I can’t guarantee the others would do the same.”
Ming Xin did not care about this at all. He said confidently, “I could’ve done this 100,000 years ago, and I can do it 100,000 years later.”
Si Wuya said, “But the Towers of Heaven aren’t the Pillar of Destruction. It’s not even the upper core of the Pillar of Destruction.”
Ming Xin turned and stared at Si Wuya intently. After a few seconds, he lowered his voice and asked, “Very few people know about the Tower of Heaven. How… How do you know?”
Si Wuya met Ming Xin’s gaze. He did answer the question. Instead, he said, “It’s a great feat to reconstruct the world; failure is inevitable. Before anything else, can Your Majesty help me suppress the power of the earth? If your plan fails, at least we still have a way out.”
Then, Si Wuya brought the Heaven Suppressing Pestle out and looked at Ming Xin.
Ming Xin was not angry. Instead, he sighed and said, “Back then, when the Four Supremes followed me, I promised them a lifetime of wealth and power. I gave them what Grand Mystic Mountain couldn’t give them…”
“Some things become meaningless after a certain point…” Si Wuya commented.
Ming Xin asked, “Then, what did you give Guan Jiu? Material things? Power? Or supreme cultivation?”
Si Wuya shook his head and said, “I can’t give him those things. I only gave him… peace of mind…”
Ming Xin shook his head as well and said, “People come and go all the time. If it will make him feel at ease, then I’ll let him go.”
Si Wuya was slightly surprised by these words. He said, “The Great Emperor’s magnanimity is admirable.”
