Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 3266 – Family and Friends

On the Ark Island.

Ever since Li Yao’s ‘super-large divine weapon’ was swallowed by the silver-white giant, the hostile parties had fallen into a weird silence. Faced with the ‘battle between gods and devils’ that had just been aborted, both the Hell Breakers and the Prison Guardians felt that their battle was ridiculous and meaningless.

However, the silence would not last forever. Or rather, it was changing at a visible speed.

When the ‘super-large magical equipment’ had just been swallowed by the silver-white giant, the silver-white giant’s appearance had been quite eye-catching because of their similar size, as if it had been stuffed by the ‘super-large magical equipment’.

However, as time went by, the silver giant gradually turned round and smooth, like an absolute ball, as if… it had completely digested the ‘super-large divine weapon’ together with Li Yao!

With the melting of the ‘super-large magical equipment’ and Li Yao, the dark clouds in the sky gathered again, and the storm became even more furious. The lightning unleashed its most hideous strength toward the deep sea, the earth, and all living creatures unscrupulously like a transformed beast.

“Something doesn’t seem right!”

Zhang Daniu hugged a protruding reef tightly to prevent himself from being swept away by the storm. The raindrops almost made him unable to open his eyes. “Li Yao’s aura is getting weaker and weaker. I simply can’t feel his existence. What do I do?”

“Hey, everyone. We can’t just sit here and watch Li Yao save the world by himself. He was right just now. No one can save everything by themselves. The world is exactly what we are. We have to save everything by ourselves!

“If—if this is really a world where ‘strong imagination can reverse reality’ and ’emotion and determination are limitless’, then even if we can’t do anything else, we can at least cheer for him and cheer for him, right?

“Everyone, let’s do it together. Let’s see whether or not we, the masses, will do our best—Li Yao will win! Long live mankind! Li Yao will win! Long live mankind!”

The grey mist lady, Sparda, and the other awakened Cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing whether or not they should go crazy together with Zhang Daniu.

“Will it work?”

The grey mist lady could not help but ask.

“Something seems to be missing. It doesn’t look intimidating enough.

Zhang Daniu pondered for a moment. “In such an impassioned and magnificent battlefield, it seems that we should shout some more domineering lines. The ‘Will of the Earth’ that we are faced with, which is also known as the ‘Ways of Heaven’ in many webnovels, more or less has the same meaning, right? Then it will be easy to handle. I know these lines like the back of my hand. I will give you a demonstration first so that you can roar along with me and release all your hot blood, passion, and determination!”

“Listen, it’s like this—my life is up to me and not the heavens. I, Zhang Daniu, am going to defy the heavens today!”

“Kill the gods! Kill the devils! Kill them all!”

“God, I’m going to kill you today!”

“Roar! Why are you not roaring with me? Why are you looking at me in such a daze?”

“Uh…”

The grey mist lady looked at Sparda and said, “We are still brewing.”

“It can’t be. What’s there to be worried about? Isn’t it simple?”

Zhang Daniu rolled up his sleeves and gritted his teeth. He pointed his middle finger at the dark sky and declared, “I want the sky—”

No one expected Zhang Daniu’s cheer to really work.

Therefore, when an earsplitting explosion that was thousands of times louder than thunder really came from beyond the clouds, everybody was dumbfounded, including Zhang Daniu himself.

His entire body was cramping. His middle finger stabbed at the sky, shivering, as if a hole thousands of kilometers in diameter had been pierced through the dark clouds, revealing the battlefield of the universe in the brilliant stars beyond the clouds and the atmosphere.

No. Not one hole, but thousands upon thousands of holes appeared on the high wall of the sealed prison of reincarnation. Billions of dazzling stars pierced through the high wall, the atmosphere, and the dark clouds like billions of shining blades, spraying thousands upon thousands of rays of golden light on the ground.

Everyone on the Ark Island, no, everyone on Earth, was staring at the sky in bewilderment.

The sky seemed to have turned into a glamorous, translucent stage. The shadows of countless super-large starships that were even larger than the moon were overlapping in the middle of the stage. The billions of thunderbolts unleashed by the turrets eclipsed the lightning and the volcanic eruptions. The most eye-catching spots under the spotlight belonged to the iron deities who were hundreds of meters tall, thousands of meters tall, and even tens of thousands of meters tall. The debris of countless starships surrounded every iron deity and rained upon the earth like spectacular meteor showers!

“This is—”

Zhang Daniu mumbled to himself, “Holy sh*t. This is the main force of the battlefield of the universe!”

…

Deep inside the tide.

Li Yao was about to be lost.

Lost in regret for the past and fear for the future.

“There’s no way forward!”

“All the beautiful things can start again. We will live forever in the infinite reincarnation!

“The Great Purge Agreement. The collapse of the fast child. Lord of Singularity, the eternal devourer—you have no idea how terrifying such forces are!

The ripples invaded his soul bit by bit like demonic music.

He was in a trance and did not know what was going on. He did not even notice that the silver ball was slowly floating behind him and swallowing him.

At first, it was his legs, then his waist, then his hands, his chest, his neck, and finally his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears. He gradually melted into the silver ball, which meant that he had completely melted into the tide. This time, even the mental devil was ‘digested’ together with him. There was no other self that could save him.

However—

Li Yao had never fought alone. Never.

“Li Yao!”

He suddenly heard a very familiar roar. It was the happiest and loudest voice in the world.

“Wait!”

He shivered and craned his head out of the lost silver maze. “I think… my wife is calling me!”

Deep inside the tide, in the middle of the endless stars, unusual ripples were spreading out, as if a certain force had drilled in from the outside and opened a channel and a window.

Inside the window was the scene that was taking place in the sky of the reincarnation prison. Countless resistors from the battlefields of the universe charged into the atmosphere together with ten thousand wrecked starships that looked like shooting stars.

Maybe it was because of the high-speed friction between the debris and the atmosphere, or maybe it was because of the distortion and conflict when they crashed into the three-point-five-dimensional space from the three-dimensional universe, but the entire sky was burning furiously. The magnificent flames burnt away all the dark clouds and the torrential rain, leaving a bright and sunny sky.

Although it was the awe-inspiring iron deities that appeared in the window, Li Yao could sense countless familiar auras from the cold metal and the scorching flames.

“My wife, Li Jialing, Long Yangjun, Han Te, the boxing champion, Yan Liren, Boss Bai, Xiaoming, Wenwen, and… thousands of friends and compatriots, you are all here!”

Hot tears flowed out of Li Yao’s eyes as he broke the silver seal. “What—what is going on exactly? How many years have passed in the outside world? How did you have the ability to break out of the Pangu Universe and come to the center of the cosmos, and even become the vanguard against the flood?”

“It’s been several days. A thousand years have passed in this world. The flow of time inside and outside of the Reincarnation Prison is not consistent. I don’t know how long you’ve been locked in this place, but many years have passed outside!

Ding Lingdang was still the same as before. She was riding an iron demon that looked like a furious red lotus. More than half of the sky was filled with her raging flames. Billions of red dragons seemed to be shooting out from the gaps of her fists. She waved her fists hard and roared at the window, “I said that no existence or place can take away my husband without my permission. Even if it is the deepest level of hell or the deepest level of hell, if they dare to touch even a hair on your head, I will tear down their ancestral temple and crush their souls. They will be cut into pieces and beg for death!

“How about you, Li Yao? Count carefully. How many hairs did this bastard touch?”

“Well, not bad. Not many.”

Li Yao felt dizzy, as if he had been hit in the waist by happiness. “No. I’ve been through countless reincarnations in this place. Now that so many years have passed in the outside world, what do you look like right now? Why don’t you—”

“It’s a long story. Since you were teleported away by the Bifrost Bridge, a lot of things have happened in the Pangu Universe and the entire multiverse. Every one of us has experienced soul-stirring, perilous adventures, including me, who first raised a small revolution in a place named ‘Battle Aura Universe’ and turned it upside down. Then, I went to the center of the multiverse, passed through the fortress of the black hole, found the Resistance Alliance, and figured out a way to send messages through novels.

Ding Lingdang shouted passionately, “You have to tell everyone’s adventures and stories clearly. Even if you spend ten days and ten nights writing a 10-million-word novel, you won’t be able to finish it. After we kill this wretched scumbag, we will drink wine, eat meat, and slowly chat with each other. Right now, the most important thing is that we are here. Everyone is here. We want you to remember it deeply and believe it forever. No matter when, no matter where, no matter how desperate the situation seems to be, you are not fighting alone. You still have me. You still have us. You still have—the entire universe!”

“Yes, Dad. You’ve saved us countless times. It’s our turn to save you now!”

Xiao Ming and Wen Wen spoke at the same time—the two little guys were steering two super fortresses that looked like satellites. They said in a low and muffled voice, “Countless wonderful and interesting stories have happened to the two of us, and we have evolved to an inconceivable state. We will slowly tell them to you later!”

“Yes, Brother Yao. We are here!”

Riding an iron demon that looked like a lion spreading its wings, Li Jialing bellowed, “The imperium, the federation, and the Holy Alliance are all fine. Rest assured!”

“Master Yao, I’m here, too!”

Han Te’s iron devil was wreathed in a mysterious, mysterious mist. It was supposed to be an exciting occasion, but there was sorrow in his voice that could not be erased. “I… paid a terrible price, too. I’ve become the ultimate, invincible Grand Magus in the universe. Sob. Anyway, I’m very awesome right now. Let me rescue you with the power of magic!”

“And me.”

Boss Bai burst into laughter. “I’m told that we will be granted the strength to march into the four-dimensional universe as long as we defeat the flood. Very good. Bring it on!”

“And me.”

The Fist King’s voice was like thousands of cannons firing at the same time. “My ultimate goal is to become the strongest in the universe. Then, the flood tide will be the target that I must defeat.”

“Hong Chao, come out.”

Yan Liren said casually, “Wash your neck and die.”

“In fact, I didn’t want to come.

Long Yangjun yawned. “But everybody insisted that I come. I had no choice.

“This—this bunch of—”

Deep inside the tide, it was half confused and half angry. “Who are they?”

“They are all my family and friends.

Tears were flowing down Li Yao’s face, but his smile was as splendid as a morning glory. He mumbled, “How can a Cultivator dominate the universe and blow up a flood without a group of family and friends?

When he reached the fifth chapter, he suddenly discovered that if he wrote it like this, he could have finished it in two days.

This was a miscalculation. It couldn’t be helped. He had boasted that he would finish writing even if he had to stay up all night with tears in his eyes…
