Chapter 868: Would You like to Learn About the Heaven Mending Sect

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Just the beginning?

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan’s hearts jolted in shock upon hearing this.

If the fall of the Purple Star Civilization was just the beginning, then they didn’t dare to think about what was to follow.

They didn’t dare to think, but the Celestial Thearch thought in their steads and forced these thoughts upon them.

“The Purple Star Civilization was once a branch of the human race. Do you understand what I’m getting at?” the Celestial Thearch asked in a slow voice.

An Lin’s pupils contracted as he drew a sharp intake of breath. “The divine retribution will affect all of us?”

The Celestial Thearch didn’t answer An Lin’s question directly. Instead, he pointed up into the sky. “The hole in the sky has disappeared, but that doesn’t mean it has been fixed.

“When divine retribution fell for the first time, the mighty Purple Star fell without being able to offer up any resistance. At that time, the most panicked parties involved were the humans of the Kingdom of the Nine States and the Western Paradise! What if the divine retribution wasn’t just targeting the Purple Star, but instead the entire human race? What would we do then?

“Or what if the divine retribution was targeting the entire world?

“This is not an unreasonable assumption. The hole in the sky appeared and disappeared at irregular intervals, and during those times it did appear, terrifying natural disasters relentlessly befell the Kingdom of the Nine States and the Western Paradise, taking countless lives in the process. These disasters were even affecting the other races, although to a lesser extent…

“We immediately implored Her Majesty Nuwa as well as the other three members of the Heavenly Venerate to come here and block up the hole in the sky using Divine Chaotic Stones. That is the flaw within the Heavenly Dao.

“However, this was only a temporary repair job. Blocking up a hole and fixing the hole was an entirely different thing. The more the hole was blocked, the more pent up would the heavens be. Hence, during the next divine retribution, there is a very strong likelihood that the entire human race will go extinct, or there will be a massive disaster across the entire continent!”

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were beyond stunned now.

So there was such a terrifying hidden flaw with this world?

Did they have to save the f*cking world now?!

“So the explosion of the snow maidens’ Holy Capital has something to do with the divine retribution?” An Lin asked.

The Celestial Thearch nodded. “A crack has appeared in the Divine Chaotic Stones, and the disasters brought about by the flaw in the Heavenly Dao is slowly beginning to eventuate. The power of frost within the Holy Capital of the snow maidens has spiraled out of control, and we suspect that this is a disaster brought about by the flawed Heavenly Dao!”

Xu Xiaolan heaved a light sigh. “The Purple Star Civilization has gone way too far. Not only did they bring about their own destruction, but they’re also going to be responsible for the entire continent’s demise too.”

An Lin was a little displeased. “Celestial Thearch, I’m just a normal Soul Formation Stage cultivator! I can’t save the world! What’s the point of telling me about all this aside from to make me unhappy?”

“Your unhappiness is enough reason.” The Celestial Thearch nodded with a justified expression.

An Lin: “???”

“Haha, just kidding.” The Celestial Thearch waved a hand before continuing, “Among us first-rate mighty figures, we have tried countless methods to repair the Heavenly Dao. The vast majority of these methods have been deemed to be ineffective, and there are still three main factions left.

“The first faction comprises of stupid c*nts who think that if they destroy the human race, the wrath of the heavens will be calmed and the hole in the Heavenly Dao would repair itself. In response to the subscribers of this belief, we kill them on sight!

“As for the other two factions, I think you should be aware of them, An Lin.”

The Celestial Thearch turned to An Lin with a hint of anticipation and curiosity in his eyes. “One of them is the Heaven Crushing Sect who believes in destroying the Heavenly Dao and creating one of their own.

“They think that if a hole can be stabbed into the Heavenly Dao, then it would be possible to kill the Heavenly Dao before reconstructing it, or that something might even be able to take the place of the Heavenly Dao. That is their path, and I would think that Chen Chen told you all this when he went to meet you.”

The meeting between Chen Chen and An Lin in the Dark Marshlands was clearly not something unbeknown to the Celestial Thearch.

An Lin nodded to concede this.

A hint of a smile appeared on the Celestial Thearch’s face. “If the Heaven Crushing Sect has acknowledged you, then that means you have a certain type of connection with the Heaven Crushing Sect. If you’re able to join the Heaven Crushing Sect, then I’m sure you’ll have what it takes to join another sect.”

An Lin faltered upon hearing this. “What sect is this?”

The Celestial Thearch looked at An Lin with a serious expression. “The Heaven Mending Sect, would you like to hear about it?”

“No!” An Lin’s expression immediately darkened.

The Heaven Crushing Sect had already approached him, and it was the Heaven Mending Sect’s turn now?

What would be next? A Heaven F*cking Sect?!

The Celestial Thearch completely ignored An Lin’s objections and continued to force information on him. “The Heaven Mending Sect is even more simple and exactly as its name suggests. We want to mend the heavens.”

“Then go mend it! Why are you telling me all this?” An Lin flared up.

He seriously didn’t want to learn any more about this. What was the point?

Did they really expect a Soul Formation Stage cultivator like him to save the world?

What were all the Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures and Gods of Creation doing?

The Celestial Thearch was not enraged by An Lin’s attitude. Instead, he explained in a patient voice, “In order to mend the heavens, we need to find a living being with an affinity with the heavens. We need to find what is missing from the Heavenly Dao, then get the mender of the heavens to cultivate in that missing part before using their own body to mend the heavens. This is a very plausible plan.”

An Lin’s flesh crawled. “Why are you telling me this?”

“I feel like you have a lot of potentials.” The Celestial Thearch did not mince his words.

An Lin’s lips twitched. “Hehe.”

Xu Xiaolan was even more direct. “F*ck off!”

Xiao Ze went a step further as he whipped his tail at the Celestial Thearch. “You want to send my master to his death? I’ll send you to your death first!”

Boom!

The massive tail stopped a hundred feet away from the Celestial Thearch; it was unable to advance any further.

“Calm down, I’m not asking you to give up your life. Using one’s body to mend the heavens is not necessarily a self-sacrificial process. We have ways to avoid loss of life…” the Celestial Thearch continued.

“There’s no need to go on. I’m not interested.”

An Lin shook his head with an extremely firm expression.

The Celestial Thearch wanted to say something more, but in the end, he gave up on it.

“Alright. I was just taking this opportunity to disclose some of these details to you in the aftermath of what happened to the snow maidens.

“There are other potential candidates for the Heaven Mending Sect. If you want to join the Heaven Mending Sect, then get in contact with me.” The Celestial Thearch heaved a disappointed sigh.

An Lin nodded, but his heart was screaming: Contact you, my a*s!

Even if he was to join a faction, it would be the Heaven Crushing Sect!

Thus, everything drew to a conclusion.

The Celestial Thearch didn’t force any more words upon them. He had said everything he set out to say.

Never would An Lin have thought that the conversation would take such a startling turn.

It looked like this world wasn’t as peaceful as it appeared…

An Lin was struck by a complex mix of emotions.

He had never thought that he was an ordinary person since he was quite outstanding, even from an objective point of view.

Perhaps it was exactly because of this that he was plagued with all these worries…

If the devastating disaster erupting in the Holy Glacial Lands was due to the flaw in the Heavenly Dao, then where would the next disaster strike?
