In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path-Chapter 1399 - 536: The universe returns to ruins! Upon seeing Huang Kong, all becomes void! Fate_2
Chapter 1399: 536: The universe returns to ruins! Upon seeing Huang Kong, all becomes void! Fate_2
“Even if you can resolve this ancient calamity now, when the next even greater calamity arises, will you be able to resolve it?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Dengming seemed to understand the meaning of Universe Daoist, and he couldn’t help but want to give a bitter smile.
Who can prevent the annihilation of the universe?
Even the Immortals of the olden days were probably insignificant in the cosmos.
Ten thousand years is but a moment for the universe, but for him and many of his friends and family, ten thousand years is already a very long time.
Even if another ancient great calamity occurs after ten thousand years, that is a matter for ten thousand years later.
He hasn’t even lived through five thousand years yet, truly not reaching the realm of Universe Daoist who has witnessed the vicissitudes of ages and laments that ten thousand years is too short.
The Universe Daoist seemed aware of what Chen Dengming was thinking and said, “I have always been perplexed. If the universe perishes, everything turns into void; what use is achieving immortality or longevity? It’s all but an illusion.
Therefore, since the day I achieved Dao at the edge of the universe, I have called myself Huang Kong – Universe, Universe, all is void!
Lost in this perplexity where all turns void, what is the purpose of cultivating towards immortality or seeking longevity? What’s the meaning of my existence? That is, until I found you!”
“Me?”
Chen Dengming was a bit stunned.
It’s true that he is special.
He is the missing piece in the cosmic chess game played between the Heavenly Immortal and the God Immortal, a variable in the universe, a visitor from a disrupted space-time, perhaps from another universe.

But what does this have to do with Universe Daoist?
Could he really help Universe Daoist stop the universe from perishing? This wouldn’t just be a national joke, it would be a cosmic joke.
Now he understands that Universe Daoist seems indifferent to everything, maintaining a superior demeanor not because he is aloof, but because he always believes everything is void.
“You are not simple.”
Universe Daoist looked down at Chen Dengming with a strange expression, “You are the one who can untie the bell, but you are still mired in confusion. Only you can unravel this puzzle yourself. Although I, as an observer, can see clearly, I cannot directly awaken you because this is your own destiny.
I brought you here to see the edge of the universe to provide you some enlightenment and let you know that resolving the ancient great calamity is not your ultimate fate.”
Feeling the oddity in these words, Chen Dengming was taken aback.
Although Universe Daoist seemed to have no ill intent, his words were enigmatic, as if he were a charlatan trying to instill some message in him, trying to brainwash him into solving the absurd task of preventing the universe’s demise.
Although he also hopes from the bottom of his heart that the universe would stop perishing, such a thing obviously isn’t something that can be altered by human will, not even by immortals.
One should only take on challenges they can handle. If he can resolve the ancient great calamity now, that would be good enough, let alone stopping the universe from perishing, which is utterly ridiculous.
“Universe Daoist, I respect your great ambition, but some matters might need more thorough consideration.”
Chen Dengming looked up at the nearly faceless Universe Daoist and said, “You also said that ten thousand years is merely a moment for the universe.
Our priority now is to resolve this ancient great calamity, and then consider other matters, as after all, our capabilities are limited.”
His words were quite straightforward.
Both being Supreme Daoists, you aren’t even an Immortal, and you unreasonably worry about the entire universe. Universe Daoist, your concerns are even more exaggerated. Better to focus first on resolving the ancient great calamity.
He initially thought the invitation was to discuss resolving the ancient great calamity, but it turned out beyond his expectations.
However, this visit isn’t entirely fruitless, as knowing the specific condition of the universe is worthwhile after all.
Universe Daoist had anticipated Chen Dengming’s response and rarely revealed a slight smile, saying, “Not yet out of the maze means the time hasn’t come yet.
Whatever decision you make, I will respect it, but as the bell ringer, you will eventually step out of the puzzle and return to the right path.
Just as the current perishing of the universe means demise, but after the destruction, there is rebirth, which is everything returning to the right track.”
“Destruction followed by rebirth…”
Chen Dengming felt this phrase seemed familiar, as if someone had said the same to him before, but he couldn’t recall it at the moment.
However, listening to Universe Daoist, although he agrees on resolving the ancient great calamity, he seems not willing to join hands in the effort.
After expressing his confusion, Universe Daoist said, “You are the bell ringer, and the ancient great calamity cannot be eliminated by others, only you can do it. I can assist you, but I cannot directly intervene, as that would only increase the Karma Karmic Fire, making it harder for you to overcome the calamity.”
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his other hand and slowly spread it open.
There appeared a ball of Karmic Fire burning in his palm, almost spreading across the entire huge palm, but it was firmly sealed and restricted by his immense Dao Force.
“Whew—”
As Chen Dengming looked, that Karmic Fire suddenly transformed into a crimson Phoenix form, seemingly emitting a malicious cry.
Chen Dengming immediately realized.
This must be the Karmic Fire that Universe Daoist had acquired when he helped him deal with Phoenix Cry Dao Monument, and it still hasn’t been resolved until now.
Listening to Universe Daoist’s meaning, if others who are not the bell ringers try to solve the ancient great calamity with him, it wouldn’t just barely increase the success rate, but would also promote the growth of Karmic Fire, making it even harder.
If Universe Daoist were to act directly, he might also get burned, and being entangled by the Karmic Fire would instantly add power to the great calamity, making it even harder for him to resolve it.
“It seems… the karma I planted, only I can resolve it.”
