Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao Chapter 1715 - 202: Chaos Lake

The Soul Emperor also smiled indifferently, saying, "Heaven and Earth are indifferent, treating all things as straw dogs. In the most basic natural rules, there is the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak. Now at your realm and feeling this way can only be seen as childish."

"However, even for the emperors of the Evil Venerate Realm, being a little childish amidst endless ages isn’t wrong either."

The Soul Emperor’s voice held some inexplicable sentiment.

Zhou Yan did not speak and instead turned around, walking towards where the Chaos Lake was located.

As Zhou Yan walked, both the Soul Emperor and Pan Emperor started to move as well, while also beginning to analyze this lake.

Unfortunately, with their abilities, in the end, they discovered nothing at all.

Zhou Yan unleashed the Purple Flame towards the Chaos Lake, as if piercing through endless void, and there was no change at all.

Pan Emperor retracted the Evil Venerate Sword and split the lake with the Sky-opening Axe, causing endless tides on the lake’s surface, yet in reality, it remained unchanged as before.

The Soul Emperor, meanwhile, shot towards the depths of the lake with the Bone Bow, sensing changes in the void, but similarly discovered nothing.

Thus, nearly thirty hours passed without any results.

"Let’s separate and explore this endless void. After the time axis shattered, space seems somewhat different."

After a long contemplation, Pan Emperor made a decision.

"Regardless of the result, let us reconvene here in half a year."

The Soul Emperor proposed.

Zhou Yan nodded in agreement and without saying anything further, prepared to leave directly.

However, Pan Emperor stopped at this moment and said, "If there’s no rush, head to my ancient land and see the Emperor and the Immortal Phoenix Peacock."

Pan Emperor’s tone was very calm and sincere.

In such a situation, there was no longer any use for schemes or plots.

The once endless plan had now reached its completion.

"Forget it, the obsession has undergone reincarnation; there’s no need for further entanglement. As long as the Immortal Phoenix Peacock is well, it’s enough. As for the Emperor, express my thanks to him."

Zhou Yan sighed lightly and said.

"Very well. But if there’s anything needed, you can contact me through the Singularity."

While speaking, Pan Emperor’s figure moved, directly crossing countless singularities and disappeared.

The Soul Emperor also left at this moment without saying anything further to Zhou Yan.

The scene once again sank into silence.

Yet Zhou Yan did not leave immediately but quietly sat by the Chaos Lake.

He looked at the chaotic surface of the lake, his whole being falling into a place of inexplicable bewilderment.

It seems that after achieving the ultimate strength and breaking fate, he’s exchanged it for eternal loneliness.

The Human Clan, one in ten thousand did not survive, nearly annihilated.

Endless life forms have vanished, destroyed, and now the total number of life forms under the three Evil Venerate Realm powerhouses does not exceed ten million.

This is an unspeakable sorrow.

In Pan Emperor’s view, it was Zhou Yan and the Soul Emperor who caused the destruction of his plan.

In the Soul Emperor’s view, it was Zhou Yan and Pan Emperor who ruined his plans.

And to Zhou Yan, he was merely passively swept into it, and his layout was ruined by Pan Emperor and Soul Emperor.

All three existences have their own positions, striving and struggling for their own races, paying unthinkable enormous prices for it.

There is no right or wrong, nor can it be said there is justice or evil.

Yet the end result can now be considered the most balanced outcome.

Is this destiny, or truly breaking free from destiny?

Zhou Yan pondered, no longer pondering Heavenly Dao, because he is himself the Heavenly Dao, just like contemplating the ability to establish Tao.

In Zhou Yan’s eyes, this chaotic lake seems to become brighter.

Just like suddenly turning into the original Cold Pond.

"Cold Pond Sword Training?"

"Are the beginning and end at the same point?"

"Even if the laws are thus, what has happened has happened. The time axis has changed, yet it cannot change the experienced results. Memory can change, but the emotional obsession remains."

"The time axis hasn’t erased my distorted memory, proving I have indeed broken fate, reversed fate."

"Yet my wives remain suppressed, trapped in the Evil Venerate Sword; how can I rescue them? Even if I rescue them, the Purple Flame Ancient Land I founded will eventually stand as Tao. Without constant energy supply, ultimately I will fade into silence, and life within the Purple Flame Ancient Land will reach its peak, then seek so-called breakthroughs!"

"Creating space will eventually return to the point of destroying space."

Zhou Yan sighed, seemingly seeing through reincarnation, understanding the essence of the rules.

This too is the ability of the Evil Venerate Realm, able to master the laws of time, the laws of space, naturally able to establish Tao and break Tao, seeing through all of Tao.

Zhou Yan did not further explore the secrets of the past.

For Zhou Yan, who is in the Evil Venerate Realm, half a year is not long, but if he wants to explore something, it is enough to pierce through the endless void and explore to the utmost distances.

Therefore, Zhou Yan is not in a hurry.

He just sits like this, beginning to organize all the memories of his life, forming an incomparably complete and untwisted memory, and strips away those interfering memories, letting them disappear.

In this way, once the organized memories are complete, the rules contained within himself will be even more complete.

While those discarded memory fragments are like pieces of dust, buried into the territory of the Purple Flame Ancient Land, forming patches of chaos.

After such an action, Zhou Yan was about to stand up, but suddenly, his body shook dramatically, then his gaze frightfully focused on the center of his brow—his sensing power had penetrated the Purple Flame Land, falling upon those shattered memory fragments.

It was a piece of chaos, like a small lake.

That chaos was identical to the chaos in front of him.

"Is this... a memory fragment outside the time axis? Or is it a memory fragment after the rules have been organized? Whose memory fragment is this?"

Zhou Yan was extremely startled in his heart.

He unintentionally discovered a shocking secret!

After completing his time in the Evil Venerate Realm, Zhou Yan founded the Time Ancient Land. Due to resource issues, he temporarily had to act as the energy provider. Thus, the Time Ancient Land he created, which is the Purple Flame Void, resides within his brow.

The memory fragments are also within the peripheral areas of the Purple Flame Void but still within the Purple Flame Ancient Land.

And even with endless resources, the Purple Flame Ancient Land existing in space and void, would certainly be encompassed by the time axis, and thus its memory fragment information would also undoubtedly lie within the time axis.

If the time axis is destroyed, all Time Ancient Lands will be destroyed, and the memory fragments would certainly be destroyed too!

So, how do memory fragments appear outside the void of the time axis?

If memory fragments can exist outside this space, then this space itself must be a ’Time Ancient Land.’ So, what is the destroyed time axis? Or, perhaps, is there another time axis outside this void, enclosing this ’Time Ancient Land’?

Zhou Yan’s heart suddenly tightened, evidently, this discovery was extremely moving to him.

Recalling what the Soul Emperor and Pan Emperor mentioned previously, and the disappearance of the three out of the Nine Ancient Lands, Zhou Yan felt that the situation might not be that simple.

And everything needs to begin with unraveling the memory fragments of this Chaos Lake.

However, whose memory fragments these belong to is unknown, let alone the fact that these memory fragments have been stripped and destroyed, leaving nothing behind; how could they be restored?

Thus, this can be said to be completely unsolvable.

This scenario also plunged Zhou Yan into endless contemplation.

Amid endless contemplation, Zhou Yan stepped into the center of the Chaos Lake.

On the surface, the waters of the Cold Pond still spread over Zhou Yan’s body, but in reality, Zhou Yan felt nothing at all.

Even though the scene presented showed endless lake water already submerging Zhou Yan, in reality, nothing was there; everything seemed just like this piece of void, incomparably empty and desolate.

Zhou Yan entered the depths of the lake, then unleashed the power of the Purple Flame Ancient Land, sweeping a strand of void into the Purple Flame Ancient Land.

Although there was still nothing and nothing could be obtained.

But Zhou Yan still sensed some special things.

Thus, Zhou Yan sat down cross-legged within this Chaos Lake, then concentrated and held his breath, entering the depths of his brow.

Currently, all of the Ancient Life Clan and the Human Clan only have about a million lives.

In Zhou Yan’s Purple Flame Ancient Land, a new world was built.

The world’s prototype, as in the past, was vast and ancient, and very beautiful.

However, to save necessary energy, there is only one giant ancient city here.

The ancient city is the Purple Flame Ancient City, which was once the Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City.

Only, the newly established Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City is very beautiful and very magnificent.

In the Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City, all races temporarily lived in harmony.

In an ancient castle in the Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City, Zhou Yan’s figure appeared here.

Upon his appearance, he was immediately sensed.

Yanyan and Hou Chen arrived at Zhou Yan’s side almost instantaneously.

"Father King."

Yanyan cried, now finally released from the time axis; the bitterness of this situation goes without saying.

Though Zhou Yan still had extremely important matters to attend to, he did not leave at this time; instead, he directly embraced Yanyan.

Simultaneously, his other hand pulled Hou Chen into his embrace as well.

"Children, you have suffered."

"Father King, Yanyan is not bitter. Being with Father King is Yanyan’s greatest happiness."

"Chen is not bitter either, because we have already endured the greatest hardships."

With tears welling in his eyes, choking, Hou Chen spoke.

Zhou Yan took a deep breath and said, "Father King still has some matters to resolve, but it won’t be long. Our Human Clan will truly grow, and in the future, it will be good!"

Zhou Yan said firmly.
