Chapter 1818 The City of Nothingness
The lady remained calm and asked Chen Xuan to name a price in order to save Gu Shen's life.
She knew in her heart that things had developed to this point because they had made a mistake, leading to such a big misunderstanding.
Therefore, they naturally have to pay a price.
"It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, this matter is over and there's no need to discuss it further."
Chen Xuan chuckled.
"I'm not the kind of person who would take advantage of someone who's already successful. I'll just return this person to you."
As he spoke, Chen Xuan waved his hand, and the restraints on Gu Shen's body were instantly released.
He suddenly felt as light as a feather and flew to the lady's back, bowing his head and saying, "Madam, Gu Shen is useless, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"It's alright, as long as everyone is safe."
The lady shook her head, then looked at Chen Xuan again and asked, "Tell me, what do you want? We will still give you the compensation you are entitled to."
Chen Xuan didn't really want anything; even the Supreme Dao Artifact wasn't of much interest to him now.
If he had to say what he wanted, there was indeed one thing that piqued his interest: the World Tree in the third level, which had grown to the Supreme level.
After all, he also has a World Tree. I wonder if the two World Trees can be combined.
However, no matter how good other people's children are, they can't compare to the children you raise yourself.
After thinking it over, Chen Xuan still felt there was no need to go see that World Tree.
"I'd like to know, what is this 'city of nothingness' that you just mentioned, Madam?"
After thinking it over carefully, Chen Xuan asked.
This was the first time he had ever heard of this city.
From what the lady just said, it's clear that the so-called City of Nothingness is no ordinary place; it might be a crucial stronghold!
"You want to know about the City of Nothingness?"
The lady gave Chen Xuan a deep look.
Chen Xuan nodded.
The lady's eyes flashed with a sharp light. After a moment of silence, she said, "Logically speaking, at your current level, you are not qualified to know about the City of Nothingness."
"However, I just said I could give you some compensation, but you didn't want it and only asked me about the City of Nothingness. Since that's the case, it's fine to let you know in advance."
As she spoke, the lady gazed at the eastern sky at a forty-five-degree angle, a look of reminiscence on her face, and slowly began to speak.
"You are from the Yin-Yang Realm. As far as I know, the Yin-Yang Realm has always been the defeated side at the end of each era."
Chen Xuan was taken aback, wondering why she would suddenly bring this up, but he still nodded obediently.
The lady continued, "Therefore, you should know that in a defeated world, their supreme ruler will eventually disappear."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, as if realizing something, and asked in surprise, "Madam, do you mean... they all went to the City of Nothingness?"
The lady nodded slightly.
For a moment, Chen Xuan and Dugu Rou looked at each other in bewilderment.
No one in the entire Yin-Yang Realm knew why the Supreme Beings left after their defeat.
We have no idea where they went.
Therefore, many versions of legends have emerged regarding the reason for the disappearance of the Supreme Being.
The most reliable version is that the Supreme Beings disappeared in pursuit of greater power to protect their world.
They certainly didn't die; they went in pursuit of ultimate power.
To everyone's surprise, Chen Xuan got the answer here on the Imperial Road!
"Why do they go to the City of Nothingness? Why don't the supreme beings of the worlds who have conquered go to the City of Nothingness?"
Chen Xuan couldn't help but press for an answer.
From the Boundary Sea Era to the Mythological Era, and then to the Primal Era, since records began, not a single Supreme Being in the Yin-Yang Realm has perished; they have all simply vanished.
Dozens of supreme beings all went to the City of Nothingness?
So why don't the immortal gods and overlords of the divine realm go?
Just because they are the victors?
In fact, it is extremely difficult for a Supreme Being to die.
Because the Supreme Being can coexist with the Great Dao, and can even be said to be an unkillable being.
Having experienced so much, Chen Xuan knew that only two supreme beings had perished.
One of them is the Earthly Venerable. He is not the supreme being of the Yin-Yang realm, but the supreme being of the Ancient Desolate Mine.
Of course, the reason he perished was to protect Tianhuang Gukuang from being destroyed. He used his own Great Dao to bind Tianhuang Ancient Mine, sacrificing himself as the price. At the same time, he also locked up the Undying Mountain, preventing it from returning to the hands of the God.
In fact, he could have chosen not to do that at the time; if he had simply retreated, the Earthly Venerable would not have perished.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Di Zun was not killed; his actions constituted suicide.
The other fallen supreme being was Xuanzun.
The profound Dao that Xuanzun cultivated was extremely mysterious. He must have gone astray in his cultivation and then inexplicably perished, his body transforming into the land of the Xuan Domain.
Therefore, his situation is roughly equivalent to him killing himself, rather than being killed by someone else.
Therefore, the Supreme Being is essentially unkillable.
It should be noted that even someone as powerful as the Underworld Lord possesses the power of both time and space.
In the end, they were unable to kill the traitor "Evil Lord".
On the one hand, there wasn't enough time; on the other hand, the Supreme Being was indeed difficult to kill, and the Great Dao was too difficult to erase.
"I cannot answer your question about why the supreme beings of the defeated worlds go to the City of Nothingness, while the supreme beings of the victorious worlds do not."
"However, after this era ends, when you become the Supreme Being, whether you are the victorious Supreme Being or the defeated Supreme Being, you will know the answers you seek."
The lady spoke slowly, without telling Chen Xuan the reason why those supreme beings went to the City of Nothingness.
To find out the answer, Chen Xuan himself must become the supreme being.
"So, my father is in the City of Nothingness?"
Dugu Rou's eyes brightened.
Because Bei Zun left too suddenly.
All she remembered was that after the final battle, Bei Zun invited her and her younger brother Dugu Heng to have a meal together as a family of three.
Then, Bei Zun instructed Dugu Heng to take good care of Dugu Rou.
The next day, he disappeared without a trace.
Now that she finally has a clue about her father, she naturally wants to find out the truth at all costs!
The lady looked deeply at Dugu Rou, remained silent for a moment, and then solemnly said:
"Since I perished and was reincarnated, I haven't been back to the City of Nothingness for a very long time because I haven't recovered my cultivation to the Supreme Realm. I don't know who the Northern Venerable is."
"However, the Yin-Yang Realm is a defeated world, so the supreme beings of your Yin-Yang Realm, including this Northern Venerable, must be in the City of Nothingness."
"As for whether they are still alive, that's hard to say."
