Chapter 1557: Obsession! Yang Yan Turned to Stone!

Chapter 1557: Chapter 1557: Obsession! Yang Yan Turned to Stone!

Fu Xi looked at Yang Yan, who was on full alert, and a guilty expression appeared on his face.

He softly said to Yang Yan, "Yang Yan, I didn’t deliberately use you. What you don’t know is, you’ve long been targeted by those guarding the Outer World channel and the Immortal Realm."

"I have no intention to harm you. I just hope you can help save Earth. The reason I brought you here is merely to avoid those guys eavesdropping on our conversation."

Yang Yan’s expression remained tense as he heavily sighed, "Fu Xi, senior, is speaking lightly indeed. You say no harm, but who knows what specific plans senior has. To be honest, this is an eternal opportunity; who wouldn’t be tempted?"

Seeing Yang Yan still on guard, Fu Xi’s face showed a bitter smile. He had no choice but to turn around, his back facing Yang Yan, and slowly began to disclose the ancient secrets.

"As early as the Ancient Times, before the myth era, the World Tree existed in this realm."

"As the heavens went through ancient alternations, during the resurgence of myth, countless Great Power Immortal Emperors fell, yet the World Tree still existed."

"Even the Immortal Emperors cannot remain eternal. When the world evolves again and the Heavenly Dao re-nurtures the world, Immortal Emperors can only become a handful of yellow earth."

"But those Great Power Immortal Emperors did not want to perish with the world, so they set their sights on the World Tree, which endured through the alternations of the world."

Yang Yan’s expression trembled.

He was evidently unprepared for the World Tree to have such origins.

Yang Yan hastily asked, "Fu Xi, senior, was the World Tree not ever controlled by anyone?"

Fu Xi gently shook his head and, without turning around, continued speaking in a mysterious tone:

"From the beginning, no one has ever mastered the World Tree. You might think the World Tree was controlled by your past life, but that’s all just an illusion."

"What I want to tell you is that there is no such thing as reincarnation in this world; only possession and feigned death. The one who stirred up the ancient war during the myth era was not you."

Yang Yan instantly felt a headache.

He thought he was close to the truth, yet no matter what, he didn’t expect that Fu Xi’s words would draw him back into the mist.

Fu Xi mildly said, "I know you’re very confused right now, not knowing what you are, or where you’re supposed to go."

"But! Listen carefully, and you’ll understand, you are just you. Merely a pawn being used."

"Not just you, even we are merely pieces of the Heavenly Dao, unable to help ourselves."

"Back then, someone somehow gained the recognition of the World Tree, wielded it to cripple those coveting the World Tree, and countless Great Powers died miserably."

"After that battle, the entire starry sky suffered heavy damage. At the time, the cosmos was not as it is now."

"Rather, it was like those continents returning to this universe, named Primordial Continent."

"But eventually, they were severely damaged by those Great Powers. After countless millennia, it became this way."

Yang Yan at this moment could only feel the ancient war’s mist-covered veil gradually being uncovered, but yet he still did not understand if he was the reincarnation of that man.

Fu Xi continued, "After the ancient war, the universe was shattered, but nobody knew if that person lived or died back then."

"Those surviving Immortal Emperors gradually fell into slumber. However, the World Tree was shattered, and its fragments scattered throughout the universe."

"Those Great Powers, unwilling to accept this, commanded their powers during their sleep to fight for the World Tree fragments, hoping to gain the mysteries of eternity."

"Thus later, the battles affecting All Heavens and Myriad Races swept across the universe, and the Ancient Times came to an end, spiritual qi depleted, talents declined, and the entire universe entered the End of the Dharma Era."

"The Immortal Realm Gate closed, All Heavens and Myriad Races retreated into the cosmic rifts to struggle to survive. But what nobody anticipated was the World Tree scattered across the universe held rich life force."

"Only, that World Tree core vanished into the universe. But today, after the ancient battle, the World Tree core reappeared."

Yang Yan’s heart jolted, suddenly realizing that what was within his sea of consciousness was the World Tree core.

Fu Xi saw the pondering look in Yang Yan’s eyes and continued, "That World Tree core fell onto Earth, or rather, onto you."

Yang Yan’s expression shifted dramatically; after a moment he asked Fu Xi with a grim face, "Why? Why did the World Tree core appear on me? This is not what I wanted. Why!"

Fu Xi sighed, a trace of sadness appearing in his eyes, said some words hesitantly, "Maybe this is karma! Back then, that cultivator, from the human race, stirred up the ancient war. Now, the World Tree core reappears within the human race. Perhaps it is meant to resolve this karma!"

"After the war, the human race’s land split, one part turned into Earth, the other became Wandering Dragon Star."

"But nobody anticipated that the World Tree core would appear on Earth, where cultivation is impossible."

Yang Yan completely understood at this moment; all this was just him being a substitute for that cultivator to ward off disaster.

Why Earth and Wandering Dragon Star experienced such calamities—all because of the World Tree core!

Fu Xi’s figure became ethereal, then he put away the Fu Xi Qin, and their figures appeared once again above Earth.

Yang Yan was plunged into deep contemplation, like an immovable rock, standing still in the Void.

A layer of stone spots appeared on his body surface, gradually covering him.

Fu Xi sighed and reached out, bringing Yang Yan’s body to Silver Moon Academy.

He understood that Yang Yan had fallen into mental blockage at this moment; if he couldn’t unravel his inner obsession, he would become a real stone statue.

This was the consequence of simultaneously overcoming three disasters and five tribulations: He must undergo the tribulation alone, others unable to help, even a super Great Power like Fu Xi was powerless.

After bringing Yang Yan into Silver Moon Academy, Fu Xi left.

He was going to Wandering Dragon Star to search for Hidden World powerhouses like himself to discuss countermeasures against the Post-Immortal Race.

At this time, the Heavenly Dao suppression reduced again, and some hidden forces in the Small Immortal Realm could appear on the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Fu Xi carefully informed Yang Yan’s family and friends about his current situation.

In an instant, family and friends concerned about Yang Yan’s safety, along with acquaintances, all set aside their business to gather around Yang Yan.

Zhou Hanyun and others had tears in their eyes, crowding around Yang Yan’s body, continually crying.

The Void-Devouring Tiger’s eyes were slightly red, with a grim smile, "Master, there’s yet to be a statue of you on Earth, and now you turn into one yourself, seems you really want to become a deity!"

"But in this state, who will fight alongside me against the strong of various races, to finally stand at the pinnacle of the universe?"
