Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System Chapter 1002 - 446: Bringing Everything to an End for You, Annihilating the Star River and General Star Alike!

The ancient Mountain God stiffened, a flicker of bewilderment crossing Xi He’s comely features at that exact instant.

They could not help but glance to the side, observing that the lord of this very world, whom they had previously overlooked, had somehow materialized here silently.

This revelation implied that their preceding discussion had likely been overheard by Su Tu, every single word.

For a fleeting moment, the atmosphere turned decidedly uncomfortable.

The small candleholder appeared to have succumbed to slumber atop Heishan’s summit, while the large feline creature coiled itself into a ball, feigning a nonchalant air.

"Throughout this time, you have aided me under the guise of Heishan; it appears this marks our inaugural formal encounter."

"Buzhou Mountain... in this context, you must surely be the legendary Celestial Pillar, the very Mountain God of Buzhou Mountain?"

Su Tu articulated with a light laugh, apparently unfazed by Heishan’s formidable true identity.

The Mountain God, perceiving Su Tu’s composed attitude, recognized the futility of denial at this juncture and remained silent.

He could do naught but offer a nod, accompanied by a wry smile.

"In my present condition, what sort of Mountain God am I truly? At best, merely a humble hill."

Buzhou Mountain, the Celestial Pillar within Huaxia mythology, once propped up the heavens and the earth. It was subsequently fractured during the ferocious conflict between Gonggong and Zhu Rong, precipitating the heavens’ descent to the southeast, the earth’s collapse to the northwest, and the world’s plunge into profound silence.

Following this cataclysm, the later legend of Nuwa emerged, detailing her slaying of a turtle to mend the heavens.

However, this narrative represents merely the most prevalent version among all tales concerning Buzhou Mountain; across various mythologies, it holds an immensely sacred status.

According to certain legends, Buzhou Mountain was the very first substance to manifest after chaos was dispelled and the cosmos of heaven and earth was brought into existence, during an epoch when neither the heavens nor the earth had yet been distinctly defined.

Buzhou Mountain thus stood as the sole entity persisting within the void, from its foundational soil, expanses began to spread outward, eventually coalescing into the earth, the sky, and the captivating world observed today.

Within these legends, Buzhou Mountain signifies the genesis of the world, the primordial anchor of the material plane.

In other accounts, chaos had not yet been ruptured; its name was 'Zhou,' a state of undifferentiated chaos, lacking distinct upper and lower realms, where myriad strands of existence were enfolded.

This represented the earliest form of cause and effect, the dawn of destiny. During that primeval age, sentient beings commenced contemplating the unfolding events of the world, the unmanifested connections, and the question of whether all occurrences adhered to a predetermined course.

These beings ascended the loftiest mountain, where innumerable creatures engaged in deep contemplation and supplication.

Gazing upon the majestic Celestial Pillar that supported the heavens and the earth, the beings seemed to grasp a profound truth.

If a phenomenon truly named 'Zhou' existed in this world, harboring fate, cause and effect, and all potential futures within its essence.

Then, what course should beings adopt? Should they be born in accordance with cause and effect and fate, or should they be consumed by worry and introspection regarding their own significance due to an inescapable predetermined path?

No!!

None of these paths were correct; instead, beings ought to stand firm like the Celestial Pillar, upholding the heavens and the earth, existing amongst them, allowing the heavens and earth to invert and all phenomena to shift, while the mountain’s dome remained immutable, eternal and without regret.

This is... Bu Zhou!!!

Buzhou Mountain, the very concept of Bu Zhou, transcends all cause and effect, future destinies, inherent fates, and latent possibilities, subjugating all constants and alterations, an entity utterly unique!!!

Su Tu assimilated all the mythical accounts pertaining to Buzhou Mountain, recalling the almost heaven-defying capabilities Heishan had demonstrated, operating beyond the confines of cause and effect.

The strangeness of it all no longer perplexed him.

Precisely as the Mountain God himself had articulated.

Stationed at the zenith of the past and future’s terminus, anchoring the mountain of fate and causal links.

Even representing the primordial origin of the material universe.

Such a designation carried an astonishingly profound significance.

The Mountain God of Buzhou Mountain, by virtue of this identity alone, stood no less than Taiyi, whom Su Tu had encountered not too long ago, in certain critical aspects.

This implied that this Mountain God was a... Daluo!

His peculiar manifestation as Heishan turned out to be a Daluo – a fact so startling that had Su Tu known it earlier, it would undoubtedly have left him in a state of immense astonishment.

Yet, in this present moment, Su Tu harbored no such profound surprise; his gaze was fixed solely upon the Mountain God and Xi He.

His eyes deepened slightly, as if concealing countless hidden thoughts within their depths.

Turning his attention to the woman whose beauty seemed ethereal, as if she did not belong to this realm, he softly inquired, "Throughout this time, I have only ever beheld your back."

"It appears your own identity is also quite extraordinary?"

Xi He regarded Su Tu, her gaze lowered: "In ages past, I bore countless appellations, but the one I cherished above all others was..."

"Xi He...."

Xi He!!

Within the Great Wilderness, the very origin of all lunar concepts, orchestrating ten celestial bodies, traversing the heavens, reigning as the sovereign of all nights, the consort accompanying Tianyi, the sole entity in mythology befitting such a grand designation.

Yet another Daluo!

Upon hearing this name, Su Tu felt no discernible surprise.

Upon hearing the mention of Buzhou Mountain, Su Tu had already inferred the identity of the figure bathed in moonlight. Only Emperor Moon Xi He possessed such a qualification to converse with Buzhou Mountain.

At that precise moment, Xi He gently commenced speaking.

"I am aware that you must harbor numerous inquiries, but..."

However, before Xi He's words could reach completion, they were cut short by Su Tu. The youth's voice, imbued with a chilling rationality, sliced through the air.

"I understand. You are forbidden to speak, for every utterance carries the weight of altering the heavens and earth, shaping the unknown future's cause and effect. Therefore, I harbor no curiosity regarding the origin of my anomaly."

"My only question remains: are you still my anomaly now?"
