Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 662: Cruel Survival Dharma Principle

This was the first Gods' War beneath the Era of Creation.

The flames of the Gods burned rampantly, sweeping across the lands of the Human Clan. Collapses occurred continuously, and life passed away at a terrifying speed.

No one knew how long it had been. It seemed like an instant, yet also like a long epoch.

The lands of the Human Clan were shattered and fragmented. Life was severed, turning it into a withering world.

Jiu Yue was exhausted, unable to manifest the Six Tao. Her majestic body convulsed and spasmed, her Divine Brilliance dimming.

In an instant, she seemed to lose her color, deprived of all luster.

Sword, tower, pupils...

But several High Gods were still making their moves, seemingly intent on completely annihilating her.

A little girl, around seven or eight years old, suddenly spoke up, "Existence is also an inevitability."

Yes! Since Jiu Yue had been born, then... she must have a purpose for her existence.

The Life God frowned. It seemed he had thought of something, so he stopped attacking and turned away from the battlefield.

Following him, the Death God also departed.

The God of Nothingness, the Undying King... and so on. Many High Gods who had taken action left one after another.

It wasn't that they believed the little girl's theory of inevitability. Rather, it was because she had demonstrated two characters—particularly ancient script, complex in structure, and hiding profound meanings.

Only a "High God" could understand them.

These two characters were "Karma."

This was the conclusion she had reached from her observations.

Of course, before this, there was no concept of Karma.

Not until she demonstrated it did Karma transform into a type of order, silently merging into the fabric of Heaven and Earth. All the "High Gods" attained a moment of understanding then.

A chill settled in their hearts.

This was why they chose to cease the war.

What is Karma?

No one knew, but there was a fearsome, unseen force at play, and a deep unrest in their hearts.

They were "High Gods," after all—the creators of worldly order, exalted above all, overseeing all beings, creating everything in the Human Clan.

They bestowed souls upon life.

Yet now, they felt an unprecedented, unsettling sensation.

Jiu Yue, towering hundreds of fathoms, looked at the little girl with a weak expression, silent.

Although she had suffered devastating injuries, was extremely weak, and was even on the brink of complete annihilation, her internal life source dimming drastically... when she looked at the little girl, her face showed only weakness, no other emotion.

Instead, she appeared calm. This calmness also resembled a certain pride, a defiance...

Lofty Gods would not bow to any creature, not even another God.

"What are the other three profound mysteries?" the little girl asked, unconcerned by Jiu Yue's calmness.

"You want to know?" Jiu Yue gazed intently at her.

"I do."

Regrettably...

Jiu Yue did not answer. She gasped heavily, her body trembling slightly. She glanced at the sword in her hand, then at the tower, which had lost its luster.

She slowly turned and began walking toward the Land of Chaos, step by step.

The little girl called out from behind, "You are different from them."

The Six Tao, the profound mysteries.

They defied common sense, yet were also an inevitability.

She was one of the earliest life forms born from chaos, yet she emerged so late.

Even her enlightenment came later than the other Gods.

In the unseen realm, it was as if something was being narrated—a "Karma" that rooted itself invisibly between Heaven and Earth.

* * *

Jiu Yue was tired.

She returned to the Land of Chaos and fell into a deep slumber.

* * *

When she awoke again, another terrible great war was destined to erupt.

She saw an era different from before. Many varied life forms had been born on the great land; their Spiritual Intelligence was high, and they had also learned to "cultivate."

Leveraging the various Dharma Principles and orders of the world, they unlocked the cultivation treasures within their bodies to obtain formidable power.

But what was strange was...

Although they could progress and cultivate together, they insisted on slaughtering each other. They engaged in fierce battles, leading to rivers of blood in the mortal realm.

The Gods above remained silent.

Some were slumbering, some were watching the battles, and others seemed quite amused, as if studying something.

At some unknown time, the little girl appeared again. "I think I've found the meaning of your existence," she said.

Jiu Yue looked at her.

"I have roamed the mortal realm for countless years. I've perished before, but... I woke up again, quite peculiarly, in a strange way," she said. "It's somewhat similar to the profound mysteries you've manifested."

She pointed at the mortal lands and continued, "Look... they are killing each other, clashing over so-called 'interests,' as well as the order and rules constructed by the Gods. They all hope to draw closer to the Palace in the Heavens."

Jiu Yue was clearly perplexed.

"Oh, you probably don't know what the Palace in the Heavens is. It's a structure jointly created by several Gods. In the mortal realm, it's like this concept of 'tax law'," she explained. "Also? You wouldn't know what 'interests' are either, right?"

Jiu Yue remained silent.

Should I know? Jiu Yue wondered.

The little girl took a deep breath and then said, "'Interests' are a way to describe the scramble for resources. For instance, a long time ago, when they all attacked you at once, it was probably due to conflicting interests. Or... their desire to slay you isn't just because your existence is meaningless. Apart from conflicting interests, there's another reason: your existence makes them uneasy."

"But because of Karma, they had to cease their warfare."

"Now, because of Karma, they are provoking living beings to fight ferociously."

"You might still not understand."

Jiu Yue was still lost.

Indeed, she did not understand.

Jiu Yue looked completely baffled.

The little girl chuckled lightly. "They have created their own races. With finite cultivation resources and within certain territories, they kill, rob, and plunder..."

"And such killing, for the Gods, has another benefit: they are constantly perfecting themselves."

"So, they quite enjoy it."

"Do you see that mountain over there?"

"It's called Incomplete Mountain. After you left, this mountain rose from the ground, connecting to the heavens. It gave birth to two karmic manifestations; their Dharma forms are identical to mine. Perhaps... it was because you saw me that they were born."

"They call themselves the 'Human Clan'."

"Among the races created by the High Gods, the Human Clan is the most in tune with the Heavenly Dao, but the Human Clan is waning. Whether in their bodies, bloodlines, or other aspects, they are far inferior to the races created by the Gods. Their only advantage may lie in reproduction."

Two karmic manifestations.

One was the first Sword Cultivator in the world, a self-proclaimed Sword Immortal.

The other was the first Divine Power Holder in the world, wielding the Tower of Reincarnation, who later arrived at the Shores of the Eastern Sea.

They were strong.

In one era, they almost succeeded in Slaying a God.

The little girl's face shone with excitement. "I witnessed that era, but I could not intervene."

Jiu Yue remained silent.

"The meaning of your existence perhaps lies here..." She stared intently at Jiu Yue. "This world has light and darkness, referred to as the two poles. Hence, many High Gods have established orders. And, of course, there is you, Jiu Yue. Your Six Tao harmonize with Karma, your profound mysteries harmonize with the Heavenly Dao. Your existence is an inevitability." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

She rambled on, growing more and more excited, as if witnessing the rise of a supreme High God. She envisioned that once Jiu Yue emerged from the Land of Chaos to establish her own order, protecting the races aligned with the Heavenly Dao, she would inevitably suppress all the High Gods and become the sole supreme being of her time.

Regrettably, Jiu Yue had appeared too late.

The great battle of the past was now an unknown number of years gone, and the order established in the mortal realm was exceedingly fragile, incapable of contending with those High Gods.

Even the races she had indirectly helped create were helpless to protect themselves. They could only watch as they were slaughtered, becoming sustenance for other races.

It was cruel.

But Jiu Yue was not disturbed; her heart remained surprisingly calm.

Her first awakening had been met with a slaughter orchestrated by the High Gods.

That battle had ravaged the heavens and nearly wiped out all life in the mortal realm.

Her second awakening, however, was to witness such a new world.

And there was this girl of unknown origin, chattering in her ear...

Jiu Yue lowered her eyelids, attempting to sketch out the order of the world, to manifest the Six Tao and the profound mysteries once more. But... she soon discovered a problem.

The Six Tao and the profound mysteries within her were fading away at a terrifying speed.

She was dumbfounded and even began to panic.

Those Six Tao and profound mysteries... they were parts of my body, tantamount to my very life source! If they are fading, what does that mean?

Death?

So... am I dying?
