Kacha kacha sounds kept ringing out incessantly.
More and more cracks appeared on Ulpian’s and Fang Xingjian’s bodies, and countless pieces of shattered fragments dropped off. They were like statues that had been crushed by a huge force.
The scene in the surroundings changed rapidly. With a thought from Ulpian, one future after another flashed rapidly before them, but Ulpian was not satisfied with any one of them.
With the repeated failures, Ulpian’s body became increasingly unstable. Very soon, over half of his body had shattered and dropped off.
“Have I failed?
“My pursuits…
“My beliefs…
“Have they been impossible all along?”
Ulpian might have thought in the past that his goal was hard or might even be impossible to achieve. However, it had just been a forecast, not a certainty.
However, untilt this instant, there had not been a point in time from the moment since he was born into this world when he understood so much about this world and could see it so clearly.
It was precisely because his powers were so unprecedentedly strong that he understood extremely clearly how the goal he was pursuing was impossible.
His gaze swept into the future countless years later. Several hundred thousand changes to the society were constantly occurring in his mind.
However, no matter how hard he attempted to change things or put in all sorts of effort, he was still unable to create a harmonious society that could retain the autonomy and the intrinsic qualities of humanity.
“Paradise… It’s impossible…”
Ulpian’s body kept on shattering, leaving behind only his head in the end. As for the sword seed that his obsessions were nurturing and Fang Xingjian’s illusion, they had all disappeared a long time ago.
Two rows of tears flowed from Ulpian’s eyes. This was his despair toward the world, feelings of grief toward the entire universe.
“If the universe’s creator really does exist, then our universe’s intrinsic qualities had already been determined when it was created—brutal… cold… heartless…
“There’s no way of changing it…”
Ulpian slowly closed his eyes. He suddenly felt tired. His powers were getting increasingly weaker, and his will felt increasingly fatigued. The countless attempts made his mind extremely tired.
“Let me…
“Sleep for a while…”
Ulpian closed his eyes. In the end, his mind instantly turned dark like it was going to turn into dust at the very next instant, disappearing completely.
However, his eyes suddenly opened again, and there was a strong expression that showed he was not resigned to this.
“Why?
“Why can’t the universe’s intrinsic qualities be that of righteousness and kindness?
“God, do you enjoy watching us kill each other like this?”
Just then, soft voices rang out in his mind. They were like a breeze, like drizzling rain, like the soft mumble of a lady, like the soft mutterings at the end of the horizon…
“Join us…”
“Join us…”
“Join us…”
“This is your only hope…”
“This is your only hope…”
“This is your only hope…”
“Come…”
“Come…”
“Come…”
Countless voices of men, women, young, and old—like the voices of all the living creatures in the universe—were calling out in Ulpian’s heart. Ulpian sensed that his body seemed to have entered an extremely warm place, and there were countless small hands stroking the surface of his body, making him want to continue sinking.
“No!” Suddenly, he reacted, and his eyes popped open suddenly. However, they were covered by a layer of pure white color. “Stop…”
On the Sun’s battlefield, the Immortality Saint only saw Ulpian’s figure disappear without a trace in a flash. Ulpian had headed off to another timeline.
With Ulpian’s disappearance, the seething flames on the Sun started to come forth from all directions once again at the next moment.
If it were any other time, wthe Immortality Saint would be able to break out of this predicament with his strength even whilst he was in the Sun. However, after he was seriously injured by Ulpian, he was now extremely weak and could no longer remain unscathed while being in the Sun.
Be it the intense radiations, electromagnetic waves, high temperatures, or the Sun’s super strong gravitational forces… all of these would be enough to kill him.
Sensing his martial will getting increasingly weaker like it could collapse at any moment, the Immortality Saint exhaled. ‘I can only use that now… Damn it… I haven’t even attained a breakthrough to tier six of the Divine level…’
As the Immortality Saint thought this, many white light spots appeared around him. It seemed that he was going to perform some kind of Divine art.
Just then, a beam of light flashed past, darting right into the Immortality Saint’s martial will. With the Immortality Saint’s currently weak martial will, he was unable to resist at all. He could only watch as this happened.
‘What the hell is that?!
‘Hmm? It’s the White Emperor Zenith Sword?’
Just as the White Emperor Zenith Sword darted into his will, there was another flash of light, and Ulpian appeared once again. However, right now, Ulpian’s body was not just unscathed, but he had also turned completely white.
His hair, eyes, and skin were all white. There was an expression of indifference in his eyes. It was as if there were no signs of emotions or thoughts in him at all.
Seeing Ulpian’s return, the Immortality Saint’s felt nervous for a moment and then felt despair once again.
‘Damn, I thought that he left. To think that he would come back… Is there such a strong feud between us?’
After almost dying, almost surviving, and then seeming like he was almost going to die again, the Immortality Saint—who had been put through the continuous torment—could not help but start cursing.
However, at the next moment, he noticed that Ulpian’s situation appeared a little abnormal.
The Ulpian did not seem to pay any heed to the Immortality Saint at all. After sweeping his gaze over the Immortality Saint, Ulpian’s eyes stopped on the Immortality Saint’s hand, looking at the silver ring he was wearing.
This was the silver ring that the Immortality Saint had obtained after arriving in this world. When Ulpian saw this ring, he was stunned for a moment before he disappeared without saying anything.
Ever since the Immortality Saint arrived in this universe, this ring had been on him all along. It allowed him to use a part of the Silver Army’s powers.
However, the Immortality Saint had his own cultivation system to begin with and thus had not studied much about this ring’s powers. He merely felt that this ring did not seem to be formed from ordinary matter and existed between what was real and what was not. Even at this point, it did not receive any damage at all.
‘What the hell?’ The Immortality Saint was stunned for a moment. He could not understand what on earth Ulpian had just done.
At the next moment, his countenance changed drastically. ‘That’s not right. The aura on Ulpian just now was that of the God of Universal Truth…’
As one of the Church of Universal Truth’s three great saints, the Immortality Saint had directly received the Divine arts bestowed upon them by the God of Universal Truth. Therefore, he was naturally very familiar with the God of Universal Truth’s aura. The aura he sensed from Ulpian just now was the same as what he had felt from the God of Universal Truth.
Just then, Ulpian’s voice rang out from the silver ring that had remained silent all this while.
“Don’t just stand there. Leave quickly!”
