The Prodigies War

Chapter 3182 Eternal Night Divine Emperor's Background

One hundred thousand years of trying and failing, and finally a silver lining! The manner in which Alpha Origin narrated his story seemed casual, but it was only awe-inspiring when one tried to imagine it.

Just what kind of perseverance and persistence must one possess to hold fast to something for a hundred thousand years? Even the countless failures had failed to shake his will in the slightest. It was undoubtedly terrifying to go up against such a character.

Alpha Origin continued, “That day, as I was in the middle of deducing the great dao, I suddenly felt an inkling that told me to look up, so I did and looked in the direction of the Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders. What I saw was a bronze coffin flowing with the aura of chaos flying out—the Boat of Eternity, as you can guess. At that instant, although I had no idea what it was capable of, I was certain that it was a fortune from the Forbidden Zone of Life!

“There was no way I would let it slip away, so as soon as this treasure flew out, it was under my control. In the next moment, I explored the mysteries of the star atlas on it, conjured the Eternity Door, and arrived here.”

Alpha Origin's eyes swept the realm. “Like you at first, I knew nothing about this place, but my heart was filled with excitement and joy, believing that the mysteries buried here would very likely allow me to achieve the ultimate breakthrough on the Immeasurable path and leap onto one even higher.”

At this part, Alpha Origin let out a long sigh. “But later on, I found out that this was merely a corner of the Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders. Here, the mysteries involving the origin and nature of life were extremely limited and, furthermore, could only be explored through the innate talent forces born between this piece of heaven and earth.”

Lin Xun raised a brow. “You discovered the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer talent here?”

“Take it slow, my young friend.” Alpha Origin smiled as he gazed at the billions of flames that burned bright like stars. “At the time, I spent over a thousand years more to perceive and study all those talents one by one. One reason was to seek the secret of life, and two, I was curious if I could find the most powerful talent here.

“Until one day, a variable suddenly appeared during the process.” Saying this, Alpha Origin's gaze went back to Lin Xun. “Do you want to take a look?”

Lin Xun nodded. Alpha Origin raised his hand, and a curtain of light emerged.

In the projection, a group of flames was being born as if emerging from nothingness. Enveloped in wisps of chaos energy, they had yet to truly take shape. Right at this juncture, something unusual occurred. One of the flames suddenly trembled and pulsated with a mysterious rhythm of life.

Following that, this flame burst out with an incredible devouring power and swallowed all the other talents in its vicinity! Alpha Origin's shocked cry rang out from the light curtain. Back then, he clearly had also noticed the abnormality. When he came closer to inspect, the billions of flames distributed throughout the realm suddenly acted as though they were being pulled, madly rushing toward him.

The spectacle was so loud and grand that it caught him off guard. At that same instant, the flame that pulsated with vitality turned into a flash of light and escaped from this world. The curtain of light dissipated.

Alpha Origin, still sitting cross-legged on the dao platform, asked, “Did you see that? A newborn innate talent somehow miraculously possessed life, how unbelievable is that?”

Lin Xun couldn't calm his heart either. He had a guess, but he didn't dare to be sure.

A hint of regret crossed Alpha Origin's eyes. “When I chased after that talent, it had already fled with the help of the Boat of Eternity, which was right outside the Eternity Door...”

Hearing this, Lin Xun could not hold back his question, “You're saying that the Eternal Night Divine Emperor was the manifestation of that talent?”

Alpha Origin said, “Yes, and in the years afterward, I sent quite a number of forces to investigate the Boat of Eternity. From what was reported back, that talent embarked on the path of cultivation, called itself Eternal Night Divine Emperor, and was actually seeking its own self-breakthroughs... Simply astonishing when you think about it.

“Unfortunately, those useless subordinates of mine were never able to capture her. I later learned that she was born being able to control the power of fate and karma, which she probably gained in this place. A character with such innate abilities...is truly far too difficult to deal with.

“I once used the power of the Alpha Origin Bell to send a sudden calamity her way, thinking I could finally capture her. Who would have thought that she still got away?”

Hearing this, Lin Xun recalled the Great Silence Unlife Calamity that the Eternal Night Divine Emperor had encountered on her way to Fortune Divine City. At the time, the Alpha Origin Bell had descended from nowhere and wounded her so severely that in the end, she had to hide in the Flowing Light Forbidden Realm and ultimately chose to restart through reincarnation!

Obviously, Alpha Origin was referring to this matter. Lin Xun could not stay composed. He finally understood why, as Xia Zhi had told him, matters concerning the Eternity Door’s origin were a blank segment in the Eternal Night Divine Emperor's memories, as if they had been erased.

Since the Eternal Night Divine Emperor had run from this realm moments after her birth, how could she have retained any impression of it? Of course, what Lin Xun found the most shocking here was the fact that the Eternal Night Divine Emperor was an innate talent. He could never have dreamt of this possibility.

Extrapolating from this, Xia Zhi, as the reincarnation of the Eternal Night Divine Emperor, originated from this piece of heaven and earth! Since it was located in the Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders in the All-Wonder Dominion, it was tantamount to saying that Xia Zhi’s birthplace was the All-Wonder Dominion!

On the dao platform, Alpha Origin asked gently, “I can feel the waves in your state of mind. You probably have never expected that the truth would be so bizarre, right?”

Meeting the other party's clear and calm eyes, Lin Xun’s heart shuddered. He quickly regained his cool and said, “I indeed didn't think that an innate talent birthed in this realm was able to possess life, and especially the fact that my innate talent has such a tight connection with it.”

While he had been born with the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer talent, its origin was not his mother Luo Qingxun nor his great-grandfather Luo Tongtian, but instead the Eternal Night Divine Emperor who had owned the Boat of Eternity.

On top of that, the Eternal Night Divine Emperor was an innate talent born in this realm!

“This is karma.” Alpha Origin smiled. “The Eternal Night Divine Emperor slipped from my grasp and even took the Boat of Eternity with her, but when I looked back on it later, it was a favorable outcome for me.”

“And why is that?” Lin Xun frowned.

Alpha Origin said, “As an innate talent that possesses life, it opened my eyes to a new thought: this place holds a mystery that's capable of creating life. After the Eternal Night Divine Emperor escaped, I began diving into this possibility.

“I proceeded to spend roughly eight hundred years and finally discovered some things. I also found the origin power that gave birth to the Eternal Night Divine Emperor.”

Alpha Origin's eyes took on a subtle gleam as he looked at Lin Xun. “This origin power is the root of the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer talent.”

He was telling it straight to Lin Xun that he had gained insight into the very nature of the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer's principles, making him a huge threat to him! After all, the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer innate talent had been influencing the trajectory of Lin Xun's fate since his birth and throughout his life.

After some silence, Lin Xun asked, “You can't have left your Will Dharma Form here to wait all this time just so that you can one day inform me this?”

“Of course not.” Alpha Origin smiled. “In fact, the one I was waiting here for was the Eternal Night Divine Emperor, not you. To my surprise, though, the sole lotus that Old Bodhi was waiting for turned out to be you, a young cultivator with the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer talent.

“In less than a thousand years, you rose to prominence from a remote corner like the Ziyao Empire, went all the way from the Ancient Nebula Road to the Eternal True Realm, and through the countless trials and tribulations of the Return Dominion, the Fortune Dominion, and the Kunlun Dominion, you've finally arrived here, at the All-Wonder Dominion...

“Do you know, in the path you have taken, I have seen endless turmoil, bloodshed, variables, and calamities...enough to kill an ordinary cultivator hundreds of times over. But you have repeatedly managed to safely overcome them, even achieving unimaginable miracles and feats in the process. Even I have to admit that you are indeed an unprecedented variable!”

Alpha Origin's voice was filled with emotion. He had seen more than many amazing and extraordinary geniuses, but only in Lin Xun had he seen a completely different kind of variable.

Lin Xun looked calm. It was not a surprise that Alpha Origin knew his past.

“After saying all that, what exactly is your goal?” Lin Xun asked.

“I simply want some things from you, my young friend, such as the Boat of Eternity, the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer talent, the Nirvana Principle, and the girl named Xia Zhi,” answered Alpha Origin honestly.

Lin Xun's eyes glinted coldly. “You sure want a lot.”

Alpha Origin smiled nonchalantly. “I know that you won't agree to give them to me, but as you initially said, concealing anything from each other at this point is unbecoming for us. I have stated what I wish to obtain from you, nothing more, nothing less. Should you accept, I promise that I will no longer see you as my enemy.”

“Do you think I will accept?” Lin Xun asked.

“No.” Alpha Origin was ever smiling.

Lin Xun's mind, demeanor, and eyes became frighteningly calm. “Then why even ask?”

Sitting cross-legged on the dao platform, Alpha Origin appeared relaxed, and his tone was leisurely, “I just wanted to see if you would make the same choice as Luo Tongtian back then. Now, I can see that you two are indeed family.”

These words struck Lin Xun like a clap of thunder. His heart trembled. “You captured my great-grandfather?”

Alpha Origin nodded. “Correct.”

Frost rose in Lin Xun's eyes. “You killed him?”

Alpha Origin nodded again. “Correct.”

He patiently added, “I wanted to first take a look at the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer in his body before seizing the Boat of Eternity, but he astonished me by choosing death instead, just like you now.”

He had always been calm and nonchalant, even when talking about killing Luo Tongtian. However, his nonchalance was the ultimate form of indifference and ruthlessness. He was like a supreme lord who held the power to dictate everyone's fate. He viewed all beings as ants who he could take whatever he wanted from without a care!
