Xuanyuan Universe formed from the success of Earth in surviving through inter-dimensional onslaught with other worlds, along with the merging of other Xuanyuan universes in the current timeline.
Of all the facts, the self-conscious Yan Xu was not the one who broke the timeline from the start making him draw another conclusion.
The birth of the universe that was cultivated by Yan Xu in the initial timeline, has now come to fruition but where did those who came from the previous timeline go?
That question overshadowed Yan Xu's mind and it seemed, the answer he was looking for was ahead.
The god entity that was in front of him had no form, but had a similar existence that came from another universe.
Not only that, it seems like this is the result of a tragedy that will happen to itself regardless of the success of the new era that is not connected to the wheel of destiny.
Where were entities like the Vindictive born from? What was the source of the birth of a creature whose existence had resembled a god?
On the other hand, he was similar to Yan Xu, the people closest to him and could sometimes look like everyone else.
There was only one answer he could think of regarding the condition of the Vindictive as it concerned with how he named himself.
"You're a fragment of a neglected soul in another universe? Successfully swallowing Yan Xu another universe into endless darkness, you guys also managed to destroy the universe itself, even ...."
Yan Xu's fist grew tighter, his vision of the Vindictive was now fickle, as if he saw the form of every different person, from children to adults.
The vindictive smiled faintly and said, "We are your sin. We are also a reminder and a mysterious entity that will stop you from doing the same. The scales of this world are getting more and more one-sided because our existence here, has affected the Xuanyuan universe order that you have broken down in the initial timeline."
An entity born of an unwanted tragedy, a liar who is one of the images of how Yan Xu hides a truth in himself, is the true Vindictive.
Constantly fickle, time-consuming until forgotten, they continuously destroyed a universe in which Yan Xu succeeded and failed. However, there is a difference between the present and the previous.
In this universe, not only had Yan Xu managed to break down the timeline, but he had also discovered a method to merge soul fragments from the previous timeline into the present.
This made the inhabitants of Xuanyuan realm much stronger and the Vindictive in this universe would never be created because there were no soul fragments left.
Seeing that, the Vindictive became doubtful as he had always lost heavily when dealing with Yan Xu in the previous timeline. However, this time he saw Yan Xu was weaker and wanted to destroy him right now.
But he had miscalculated. The present Yan Xu was indeed weak because he did not go through the period where the Earth was invaded to become Xuanyuan realm, but the man from the previous timeline had prepared an immortal body along with memories that would help him to develop faster.
They also know that the system made by Yan Xu in the previous timeline has now been successfully activated, but unfortunately the Vendor does not have a single access right to track the whereabouts of the users of the system.
A series of anomalies began to occur, making the Vindictive angry that too many differences had occurred, he finally decided to invade Xuanyuan realm sky holdings just like the ones in Yan Xu's memories.
All of those efforts were still in vain because all he found was a different person, not Yan Xu nor the person closest to him. He only met humans the second period after the Earth underwent a change of times.
Leaving in vain, the Vindictive took a step back and patiently waited for Yan Xu and Shang Yin to get back up so that he could trace their whereabouts easily.
How many hundreds of millions of years, the long wait is finally over today. They met, fought each other, tried to understand each other and exterminated each other.
With the degree of difference also the chaos of the timeline now, the scales of the world would become unsteady and such conditions could be detrimental to everyone, including the Vindictive entities.
Why so?
Xuanyuan realm scales were a kind of sacred object, unfathomable and changeable. The existence of the scales itself signifies how Xuanyuan realm will end up with the people involved with it, not least with a god entity like the Vindictive.
According to the knowledge Yan Xu had gained from the memories of himself in the previous timeline, the scales were merely artifacts shaped like scales in general. He had once tried to take it, but was held back by various laws of nature that had a heavenly aura.
If not mistakenly remembered, at that time Yan Xu even sacrificed half his body to burn alive to reach the scales but he still failed and made him crash hard to fall to the ground like a meteor.
For now, Yan Xu himself was unsure where the scales were because he had still not reached the cultivation to reach where the scales were. From experience, he could only estimate in which direction the scales were leaning.
The scales give only two categories, namely light and darkness.
While Yan Xu is neither a hero nor a villain, his existence can mediate for each side of the scales.
Meanwhile, neither light nor darkness, he still did not understand the more detailed criteria between the two sides. How it can be categorized as light and darkness is still a mystery until the current timeline.
Given how the Vindictive also confirmed that his existence made the world scales lean more to one side, it did not give Yan Xu any choice but to fight the other party as hard as he could.
If he fails, the scales of the world will be more inclined to the side where the Revenge is categorized. I don't know what disaster will happen because the other side is much heavier. Of course, Yan Xu would not allow such a thing.
"Seeing a result far more different than the previous universe still can't satisfy your avenging desires?" asked Yan Xu.
"Impossible, what's the point if it's not us who feel it?"
Logically, the answer has no lies. He is also quite selfish for not caring about others, other than themselves.
"That means there is no middle ground. Be it you or me who disappeared, the most favorable situation was your loss. If you vanish, the scales of the world will once again stabilize—"
The vindictive immediately cuts by saying, "Are you sure the result will be so? This strange line of time and universe has escaped the wheel of destiny. Many possibilities will occur, regardless of one of us being about to vanish from Xuanyuan universe. Are you senile to the significant changes that are happening right in front of your eyes?"
The insinuation hit right at the point of Yan Xu's illness. A true vindictive, he had made the fate of the Xuanyuan world as well as its inhabitants loose from the tragic wheels of fate that the Vindictive inflicted. Not only that, they had also escaped from the original wheel of fate, so the originally limited range of possibilities became infinite.
Ignorance of what they face in the future is the greatest fear in the heart of every human being, not least Yan Xu himself.
Despite this, Yan Xu still wanted to wade through the path because that was the meaning of his existence. All the effort, tears, sweat and pain he saw on his face was emotionless, giving Yan Xu a strong urge to wade through a path they had never been on with those closest to him.
Acknowledging that he is afraid is not something that will insult the effort that he has been doing, but acting cowardly and not daring to go down that path is another thing.
Tormented by the question of who he was up to this point, Yan Xu realized how fragile he was. He also did not want to be the strongest in the entire Xuanyuan universe, but it was different if it was for the sake of protecting the people closest to him.
He was neither an outstanding Yan Xu, a genius who refined reincarnation techniques nor near-perfect long-term planning.
He is just himself. Not someone who has long lived or faced disaster when the Earth is on edge. He was simply Yan Shen, a loser in life who felt he had lost everything he had after the departure of someone named Lan Xihe from his life.
Until fate brings them back together, he always holds them back. The feeling he had saved when guessing who the person in front of him was. Feelings that will not go away even in another life.
"Pff!!! Ahahahaha!!!"
Yan Xu laughed out loud until his voice boomed in the air.
"What are you laughing at?" The vindictive looks upset by that reaction.
"As many of the main characters say in the story, just do the rest first think about it when it happens."
"You're crazy!" shouts Vindictive while manifesting a hundred talismans with various combinations of elements.
In response to that, Yan Xu threw out his sword and took out the bow manifestation of his soul shards.
The vindictive activated the entire talisman that he spread while saying, "I've misjudged you. I guess you have a wise mind, unfortunately you are still a dumb person who walks upside down like a donkey."
Pulling the rope on his bow, Yan Xu also replied, "From the beginning, my thoughts about you have not changed. You are nothing but the misfortune created by me in a different universe. Unfortunately, your greed to destroy the various universes to reach this world is your biggest mistake."
"Omong empty!" shouted the Vindictive while directing the entire attack from his talisman paper towards Yan Xu.
Yan Xu released the rope on his bow, millions of energy arrows gushed out and quickly headed towards the Vindictive.
Duars!
A huge explosion occurred when the two attacks touched each other, but the two immediately switched their weaponry and charged across, while dodging the attacks they unleashed.
Yan Xu pulled out the spear manifestation and swept his spear towards the Vindictive neck.
The vindictive who also took out the spear, used his spear body to deflect the direction of Yan Xu's attack. He turned his spear and made a piercing motion right towards the other party's heart.
Yan Xu who was unable to dodge in time relied on the armor that covered his entire body.
Whong!
He was struck back a few steps but the fatal wound he should have received, only inflicted a slight push back, not a stab that was aimed at his heart.
Utilizing the time lag by which Yan Xu had to improve his posture, the Vindictive took a few steps forward and again made a piercing move with his spear.
Yan Xu dodged the prick and immediately kicked his spear eyes, making a shock impact on the Vindictive wrist.
Utilizing that moment, Yan Xu kicked the foot of the Vindictive until he fell down then thrust his spear right into the heart of the opponent.
The fallen vindictor, immediately twisted his body to avoid the stabbing of Yan Xu's spear. As he twisted his body, he took out some talisman paper from the empty air. When he managed to dodge, the Vindictive threw the talisman paper around the two of them.
"God!" yan Xu shouted that immediately shook his spear to the entire talisman scattered in the air.
"It's just a trick" said the vindictive, who sounded happy.
Yan Xu immediately threw his spear away because the talisman he wanted to destroy had stuck to the spear eye. Not long after, a huge explosion appeared from the direction he threw his spear at.
Distracted for a moment by the trick, Yan Xu found the lost Vindictive.
"Where is he?"
Yan Xu immediately spread his divine consciousness all over the place, but the existence of the Vindictive could not be found.
A short while after, Yan Xu finally came to a realization.
"Wine! Shang Yin is in danger!"
Yan Xu who only had the manifestation of god power on a hundred fragments of his own soul in that dimension, could not manifest them in the real world.
In the real world, he was only Yan Xu who was still at the Divine Realm realm.
However, he immediately forgot the difference and immediately returned to his body's consciousness in the real world.
Awakened, Yan Xu immediately ran over with a soul pursuit technique heading towards the two people who looked overwhelmed while dealing with the gigantic creature that came out from the crack of the sky.
"Shang Yin!"
Yan Xu called out the name of a girl who was performing the same divine sword technique as him in midair.
However, the girl did not listen to her screams as if their dimensions were separate.
Just before Yan Xu approached them for another several tens of meters, an invisible barrier halted his steps.
Thump!
Yan Xu immediately struck the barrier with full force, yet it only left a pointless tremor.
In front of his eyes, the gigantic monster figure smiled seeing him helplessly wanting to get out of there.
Realizing that something was wrong with it, the quick-witted Shang Yin immediately traced the direction of the smile.
Shang Yin turned around and looked at Yan Xu who was already conscious, "Dad!"
"Don't distract yourself from the fight!" yan Xu shouted.
Unfortunately, the warning could not be heard by Shang Yin.
The vindictive who took advantage of the opportunity, immediately thrust the manifestation of his energy sword into Shang Yin's body.
Shang Yin who was sidetracked, did not realize that her body was suddenly lying on the ground while feeling a chill in her body.
"Shang Yin!!!" yan Xu shouted while hitting the barrier that was blocking him fiercely.
Shang Yin did not respond to a single call, there was only a stiff body with no signs of life.
Seeing that, Yan Xu felt his turbulent emotions in the deepest part of his heart begin to feel nausea on his body.
He who had never felt a single loss in this world, had now witnessed his dead heart while he was helpless.
'No .. why ... WHY?!!!'
The anger that he never felt, also the pain that was right in his chest until the tears that fell broke without him noticing made Yan Xu lose his mind for a moment.
'Am I going to feel lost again?'
That question began to fill Yan Xu's head.
The aura of death began to fill Yan Xu's entire body.
Her bright brown eyes were beautiful, now turning blood red that was thirsty for death and anger.
"SOOTHING!!!"
Just with that furious shout, the barrier separating them broke as if it was just a fragile glass.
The identity of that giant monster, was none other than the original body of the Vindictive. It was only fitting that he could not guess who he was at first because they could change the shape of his soul.
Fused souls are just like new lives, no longer are they ever.
Step by step, Yan Xu advanced towards the Vindictive. Every step shakes that dimension. Every piece of land that he peaked on, became shattered apart from being unable to withstand the pressure of his strength.
Yan Xu who was swallowed by his anger, had unknowingly awakened a mysterious power, without even needing to use his cultivation realm.
The power of anger swallows his age, yet he who possesses an immortal body will never be swallowed up by the laws of time that accompany the lifespan of a human.
In other words, he can use it without any restrictions!
