Chapter 2003: The Secret of Darkness

“Repairing the heavenly darkness power?!” An Lin’s eyes widened as his heart skipped a beat.

“That’s right.” Nuwa nodded. “Light, Darkness, Heaven, Earth, Sea, and Life. All six paramount heavenly powers have physical manifestations. Aren’t you curious with regard to why the Heavenly Darkness God has never appeared?”

An Lin’s lips twitched imperceptibly, but he put on a curious expression. “Why is that?”

A reminiscent expression appeared on Nuwa’s face. “This is because when the Purple Star Civilization attempted to crush the heavens, they destroyed the dao of darkness within the Heavenly Dao first… The hole in the sky is actually the absence of the heavenly darkness power…”

An Lin: “…”

He pretended like he had heard some shocking news.

Nuwa continued, “Darkness represents absolute nothingness and termination. The Purple Star Civilization actually wanted to break down the darkness component of the Heavenly Dao in order to capture the essence of darkness. Then, they were going to infinitely enhance the power of darkness and use that power to absorb all of the other heavenly powers in the Heavenly Dao. Thus, everything would be reduced to nothingness. The Heavenly Dao would be completely destroyed, and the human race would be able to create a brand new Heavenly Dao.

“However, they failed during the second step.

“They broke down the heavenly darkness power, but they were unable to capture it. After that, the Heavenly Dao inflicted a terrifying backlash that wiped out the entire Purple Star Civilization.”

Nuwa raised a finger. “The flaw in the Heavenly Dao is actually just the lack of the dao of darkness. If we can repair the dao of darkness, then our heaven mending mission would be completed for the most part!”

Unbeknown to Nuwa, An Lin was the Heavenly Darkness God. Didn’t that mean that they were trying to repair him?

“The Heavenly Dao has already been completely repaired on a materialistic level. The structure has pretty much been rectified as well. Now, we are only lacking in the power of darkness. This power of darkness has been missing for countless years, but recently, the Heavenly Dao managed to repair a small portion of it on its own. Perhaps the Heavenly Dao would be able to completely repair itself in the near future,” Nuwa explained.

An Lin was shocked to hear this. “The Heavenly Dao can repair itself?”

“That appears to be the case.” A thoughtful expression appeared on Nuwa’s face. “It has roughly repaired about sixty percent…”

Boom!

An Lin’s heart jolted as his breathing accelerated.

Sixty percent…

“An Lin, are you alright?” Nuwa asked.

“I-I’m fine… Please continue.” An Lin forced a smile onto his face.

After that, Nuwa elaborated on the things the Heaven Mending Sect needed to do, as well as their plans for the future. She also provided a detailed description with regard to some cautionary aspects and the duties of the Heaven Mending Sect members.

All of these things were related to the core secrets of the Heaven Mending Sect, but An Lin couldn’t bring himself to focus his attention. His head was still ringing from Nuwa’s words.

Sixty percent…

After a while, Nuwa began to establish the heaven mending contract with Nuwa.

He swore to not reveal any of the Heaven Mending Sect’s secrets to outsiders and to dedicate himself to the mending of the heavens.

After establishing the contract, he dripped his blood on a peculiar disc. A brilliant light erupted from the disc, and invisible ripples merged into heaven and earth. Soon, he developed a clearer sense of the flaw in the Heavenly Dao. At the same time, he was a lot more knowledgeable about the Heaven Mending Sect.

When An Lin finally returned, six hours had already passed.

“You’re back.” Xu Xiaolan made her way over to him. “How did you go? Did you get what you wanted?”

An Lin nodded. At the very least, he had been alerted to an extremely important piece of information.

The only downside was that this was not good news.

An Lin sat in the pavilion and sipped wine as he gazed up at the moon.

The white moon in the sky was particularly beautiful and seemed to be growing brighter by the day. In contrast, the crimson moon was becoming duller and colorless, as if it was going to disappear soon.

“Chang’e is going to win. Thinking about it now, her story is quite a motivational one.” An Lin downed the strong wine in his cup, and he felt like his entire body and consciousness were burning.

Xu Xiaolan knew that An Lin was concerned about something, so she stayed by his side. “Indeed. Her path to dao integration has been quite a bumpy one. Not only did she have to compete with a Dark Wing Tribe mighty figure, she even had to face oppression from the Heavenly Dao. Normal people would have been crushed long ago. However, she persisted until hope arrived, and she is now staging a crushing comeback. No one can stop her from ascending to new heights now…

“When that time comes, she won’t just be the leader of the Moon Palace, she will be the Moon Goddess!”

“Tsk tsk tsk, she’s like a protagonist…” An Lin chuckled.

Xu Xiaolan filled An Lin’s cup with a smile. “You’re like a protagonist as well. You’re the hero of the entire Tai Chu Continent, and everyone around you pales in comparison. Why are you still yearning for someone else’s life?”

“Protagonist?” An Lin chuckled in a self-deprecating manner. “That’s the most hilarious thing I’ve ever heard.”

Was he a fake protagonist? Even his cultivation was fake, how was he a protagonist?

“I feel like you’ve been acting a little strange. Did something happen?” Xu Xiaolan sidled close to An Lin.

“Imagine that the world is coming to an end, and all of your loved ones will die as a result. However, you can choose to sacrifice yourself in order to save the world. Would you do it?” A wry smile appeared on An Lin’s face.

Xu Xiaolan shuddered upon hearing this.

She knew what An Lin was implying.

She really wanted to say no, but she knew that if this decision fell to her, she would sacrifice herself without any hesitation…

“I would…” Xu Xiaolan couldn’t lie to herself, and she couldn’t lie to An Lin.

An Lin smiled upon hearing this, and he raised his cup.

“However!” Xu Xiaolan continued.

She turned to An Lin with a determined expression. “If there is a way to save the world without having to sacrifice myself, I would do everything in my power to make that happen!”

An Lin was rooted to the spot.

A warm smile appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face. “After all, it’s great to be alive, isn’t it?”

An Lin looked at the woman beside him. Even though her face was lined with wrinkles, she was extremely beautiful to him. She was like a ray of sunlight clearing the congestion in his heart.

“Yeah, there is always another way.” An Lin enveloped Xiaolan in a hug. “Xiaolan, thank you!”

A faint smile appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face. “What’s there to thank me for? We have to work hard together!”

“You’re right!”

An Lin nodded as a sense of warmth flowed through his heart.

“An Lin, what are you going to do next? Can you tell me?” Xu Xiaolan asked in a gentle voice.

“I’m going to the Land of Eternal Light,” An Lin replied.

“Why are you going there?”

“I’m going to join the Heaven Crushing Sect!”
