Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 856.11: The Creation of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 856.11: The Creation of Heaven and Earth

...

"By the way, before entering, grab these!"

Bi Yue Wu pulled out four copper coins, distributing them one to each: Chen Huaian, Zhang Yibai, Gu Changsheng, and Wang Shouyi.

"Why the sudden gift of money?" Zhang Yibai tossed the plain-looking copper coin in his palm, muttering under his breath, "If you're giving stuff away, make it worthwhile at least... you sending off beggars?"

Bi Yue Wu's face turned beet red in fury at these words, snapping back harshly, "What do you idiots know? How is this a normal copper coin? Right when you touched it, it seized a strand of your spiritual energy. Once inside the bronze door, this immortal can track your spots on the array disk and check your states. Your survival rests completely in this immortal's hands!"

Chen Huaian squeezed the copper coin, letting out an 'Oh': "GPS tracker, eh."

Gu Changsheng: "Pfft."

"Quiet!" Bi Yue Wu's cheeks bulged with rage. He swept his sleeve dramatically, declaring, "This is a true immortal artifact, an authentic one! Got it? Don't liken it to those vile mortal trinkets! You bunch of fools!"

To prevent riling the immortal further, Chen Huaian zipped it.

Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng held their tongues too, glaring at their copper coins with clear contempt.

So this counts as an immortal artifact from Earth Star's Upper Realm?

Truth be told, it pales next to a Mi phone.

"Guard those copper coins well, lest danger hit and this immortal can't pull you out!" With that warning delivered, Bi Yue Wu retreated to the side, standing frigid and still.

He wouldn't prod Chen Huaian or the rest, nor lend a hand to unseal the massive portal.

Remaining idle kept karma at bay. Safety for him and Tu Fu Xing was guaranteed.

Should Chen Huaian's group skip opening the door, they'd merely spectate.

Immortals could wait forever, after all.

Mortals, however, had short lives; immortal coercion allowed no such luxury.

Chen Huaian emerged as the key figure now.

Gazes converged on him, hungry for his verdict.

Chen Huaian merely positioned hands behind his back, wordless before the towering bronze door.

He scrutinized the colossal bronze gate, rising hundreds of zhang, tracing the weathered patina and elaborate runes.

His focus ultimately rested on a patch of apparent disorder and mess smack in the doors' middle.

What began as simple varying incisions...

Soon stirred to life before his eyes, coiling and reshuffling into a seething, lightless, hue-less primordial chaos.

Unbidden, his spirit plunged within, spanning endless eras and voids, regressing to the primal void before existence dawned, when heaven and earth lay fused.

He "sensed" transformation—no longer Chen Huaian, but the titan who shouldered skies and pinned grounds. Titanic strength flooded every fiber. Thick, burdensome chaos streams assailed from all sides, grinding, crushing, timeless.

A raw drive welled up "inside him", yearning to burst the perpetual bonds.

For ages untold it gathered...

Eons? Or mere heartbeat!

"He" erupted in voiceless thunder, arms surging upward with fury, feet pounding downward!

"BOOM—!"

A sound beyond words detonated soul-deep.

No auditory wave, rather the rupture of laws, the quake of nascent truths.

Clear, buoyant qi soared aloft; murky, weighty qi plunged below; chaos violently sundered.

Through it all, Chen Huaian sharply "discerned" his sinews twisting and swelling amid godly vigor, skeleton moaning beneath creation's crushing load, flesh rent and forged by primal flows and the raging birth of earth, waters, flames, gales.

The sensation gripped vividly.

In that instant, sole sovereign of nascent cosmos reigned he.

He observed airy qi crafting the celestial dome, dense qi forging the terrestrial base.

Observed his frame stretch endlessly, propping the fledgling realm day upon day against recombination.

Boundless epochs elapsed.

Isolation, fatigue consumed. Upholding this world defined his purpose.

Until stability graced heaven and earth at last.

Spent, he collapsed. Frame yielded mountains, rivers, oceans, lakes; orbs birthed sun and moon; exhalations spun winds and clouds...

"Brother Chen, what's got you so fixed?" Zhang Yibai creased his brow, peering at the bronze door then Chen Huaian's glazed stare.

To him, the door showed nothing but twin qilin door knockers.

Hardly worth such prolonged gawking.

Liked them that much? He'd happily yield the matching set from his cave dwelling's latrine door.

Chen Huaian shot Zhang Yibai a look—nothing but bewilderment there. Then checked Gu Changsheng, Wang Shouyi, Hua Jin the True One, the immortal true spirits; verdict formed: the door's carving visible to him alone.

No proclamation; he filed it away silently.

"You all hanging on this Venerable One's move?" Astonishment crossed Chen Huaian's features. "This Venerable One figured you'd crack it yourselves! Staring at this door's worn my eyes out..."

Zhang Yibai, Gu Changsheng: "..."

Wang Shouyi: "Truly a senior's caliber, to contemplate a blank bronze behemoth so enduringly. Were I so steadfast, my cultivation wouldn't trail so far behind... sigh!"

A certainty bloomed within Chen Huaian.

Unlatching the bronze door promised no calamity.

Unclear why only he beheld and lived the Pangu heaven-earth rending etched thereon, yet the door's gift implied ties binding him to this subterranean palace.

Where bonds exist, fortune beckons.

Hence, he spun about, planted palms firm on the bronze expanse, and thrust with power.

Creak—!

Bi Yue Wu and Tu Fu Xing recoiled three paces instantly.

The bronze door ground open gradually. Millennia-old turbid qi leaked from the gap. Within loomed absolute blackness; no light pierced. A voracious dark chasm, primed to swallow the unwary.

At least, peril seemed absent for the moment.

Chen Huaian backglanced the immortal duo, then pivoted, lip curling in scorn.

These qualify as immortals?

Pathetic!

"Brothers, follow me! This Venerable One goes ahead!"

Thus bellowing with gusto, he shook his head jauntily and strode into the bronze door's depths, silhouette devoured by shadow.

"Hey, Brother Chen, hold on!" Dauntless, Zhang Yibai grinned and tailed him.

"Old... esteemed seniors, ease up!" Gu Changsheng dashed after.

"Senior Chen, the inner Refined Mysterious Array holds grave threats—stay vigilant!" Hua Jin the True One cried out.

With Bi Yue Wu's restraint lifted, her voice flowed free.

"And..." Her eyes lingered on Wang Shouyi, anxiety weaving visibly.

"Your Eminence, stay safe!"

Wang Shouyi cupped fists, bowing profoundly to Hua Jin.

This plunge courted unknown doom.

But a heaven-spanning man couldn't forever cower in a woman's wake.

He tucked affections into gaze's depths.

Then wheeled, head high, striding boldly after Chen Huaian's group through the bronze threshold.
