Ch. 792 - Nirvana-Fire Pearl

Just like the God Emperor from long ago, he was slain by three Grand Emperors who descended to the lower realm from the Outer Heavens.

Even his true fate was shattered.

Though the price was high, beings from the Outer Heavens could still descend to the Primordial Heartlands.

“The World-Weary Goddess, huh,” Xu Zimo muttered.

He couldn’t clearly see the figure. From the outline, she seemed to be a woman.

The World-Weary Goddess was hidden in the void, shrouded in mist.

He couldn’t tell if she was real or an illusion, male or female.

Xu Zimo knew, he was not her match.

If it came to a fight, he’d have to call for Paimon and Seven-Face, his Infernal Archons.

“Who calls me?” a cold, clear voice rang out from the void.

The voice sounded like a manifestation of the Great Dao, spreading through the world and reaching everyone’s ears.

“World-Weary Goddess, we are your loyal followers,” the three ancestors quickly knelt and said respectfully.

“Mortal Dust Palace,” the woman in the void murmured.

Then she asked, “Why have you summoned me?”

“World-Weary Goddess, after your ascension to the Outer Heavens, we’ve faithfully followed your commands and managed the Goddess Palace,” said Ancestor Heaven-Bearer. “Now an outsider seeks to destroy your divine palace. Our strength is too weak, we had no choice but to call upon you.”

Hearing Ancestor Heaven-Bearer’s words, Gu Yue beside him snorted coldly. “Shameless.”

It was clearly the ancestors who broke their promise. Now they had the audacity to accuse others first.

The woman in the void slowly turned her gaze toward Xu Zimo.

“How would you like to die?”

Her cold voice spread across the land, filled with killing intent so dense it seemed almost tangible, swirling around them.

“Well, that depends on whether you have the skill. I’ve always been hard to kill,” Xu Zimo replied with a smile. “And won’t you show your true form? Hiding like this, what’s the point?”

“Lowly insect of the lower realm, only good with words,” the World-Weary Goddess snorted.

A massive hand descended with overwhelming force.

At the same time, the gaze from deep within the heavens intensified. Thunderclouds gathered above, and the skies twisted as if preparing for something.

The World-Weary Goddess frowned slightly. When her hand fell,

Though it looked like an ordinary hand, it suppressed the entire world, leaving everything frozen.

Everyone below, including Xu Zimo, felt a force they couldn’t resist.

Even breathing was impossible.

The massive hand was about to crush Xu Zimo,

At that moment, a black cloud of infernal energy slowly rose like a mushroom cloud, then exploded in the sky.

Two surging masses of infernal energy burst into the heavens, covering the sky.

Everyone looked up as the demonic aura surged toward the World-Weary Goddess.

“Putting on a show,” she snorted coldly. She raised her jade hand and flicked her fingers.

Two red dots of light shot toward the infernal energy to suppress it.

But the power of the infernal aura clearly exceeded her expectations.

The red light dots were instantly devoured, and the explosion of infernal energy forced her several steps back.

From the explosion, the figures of Paimon and the Seven-Face slowly appeared.

The Seven-Face stretched lazily, looked at the World-Weary Goddess, and said with a grin, “Impressive. Someone from the Outer Heavens descending to the Primordial Heartlands, it’s a bit offside, isn’t it?”

“Who are you?” The World-Weary Goddess frowned slightly, sensing their powerful aura.

“That’s not important,” Paimon replied. “What matters is that everything here today will be decided by our master. If you’re smart, piss off. If you insist on fighting, well, the Heavenly Dao is watching. It won’t end well for you.”

Paimon actually wanted to fight, but the rules of this world were too restrictive.

He couldn’t use his full power here, so fighting would be pointless.

The World-Weary Goddess thought for a moment.

Then she turned to Xu Zimo and asked, “Why do you seek to destroy my Goddess Palace? The order here has existed for millions of years, we’ve wronged no one.”

“Shouldn’t you ask them?” Xu Zimo pointed to the three ancestors and smiled.

Seeing the World-Weary Goddess’s gaze shift to them,

Ancestor Heaven-Bearer grew flustered and quickly said, “It was Ancestor Luminous who made the promise without consulting me, offering the Nirvana-Fire Pearl. I intended to leave it for you.”

“If they want it, give it to them,” the World-Weary Goddess said calmly.

“This...” Ancestor Heaven-Bearer hesitated briefly.

The World-Weary Goddess sent a voice transmission to him, no one knew what she said.

Ancestor Heaven-Bearer’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly nodded.

“Honored one,” Ancestor Heaven-Bearer turned to Xu Zimo and said,

“I am willing to give you the Nirvana-Fire Pearl, just please stay out of our conflict with the Heavenly Bond Cult.”

“You’re in no position to bargain,” Xu Zimo replied coldly.

“Yes, yes,” Ancestor Heaven-Bearer nodded quickly and took out a fiery red pearl from his storage ring.

The surface of the pearl bore the image of a phoenix.

Inside, it glowed a fiery red, as if burning with intense flames.

“This is the Nirvana-Fire Pearl. It was brought into the Goddess Palace by someone long ago and eventually offered to me,” Ancestor Heaven-Bearer explained.

Xu Zimo took the Nirvana-Fire Pearl. It felt warm in his hand,

As if it was made from pure flame.

He knew that the Nirvana-Fire Pearl represented the fire of rebirth.

Legend had it that Nirvana-Fire Flame could allow one to be reborn, even reshape their foundation, tremendously powerful.

He put the Nirvana-Fire Pearl away and looked up at the World-Weary Goddess.

She returned the gaze and said calmly, “If you can bear the Heaven’s Will in this life, I’ll wait for you in the Outer Heavens.”

With those words, her figure slowly vanished.

“If there’s nothing urgent, don’t summon me again.”

As her voice faded, the teleportation space began to shatter.

The formation disc and flags dispersed and returned to the hands of the three ancestors.

“Is there anything else you require?” Ancestor Heaven-Bearer stepped forward and asked respectfully.

He knew clearly what kind of being the World-Weary Goddess had just told him Xu Zimo was.

“I want to speak with her alone,” Xu Zimo looked at Lan Ke’er beside him and said softly.

“Ke’er,” Ancestor Heaven-Bearer turned to Lan Ke’er and nodded slightly.

Then everyone at the World-Weary Goddess Square withdrew.

Only Xu Zimo and Lan Ke’er remained.

“It’s been a long time,” Xu Zimo smiled.

“Why are you here?” Lan Ke’er walked forward and asked quietly.

“To find you, and to seek the Nirvana-Fire Pearl,” Xu Zimo said directly, not hiding anything.

“Why did you become the Young Palace Master here? Did they force you?”

“No. It was my own choice,” Lan Ke’er shook her head slightly.

“So? You’ve seen through the mortal world? Let everything go?” Xu Zimo asked.

Lan Ke’er quietly looked at him, saying nothing.
