Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1869 – Full Moon

Rourou suddenly felt as if something was wrong. It was not that there was something wrong with the current battle situation. On the contrary, things had been smoother than she had expected. One could even say that everything had been going too smoothly.

Smooth to the point that it felt as if this was all premeditated by someone.

She raised her head to look at Final, and as expected, she did not notice anything strange about him. Still, Rourou’s uneasiness did not go away because of this. Instead, it intensified.

Something’s wrong!

Even though Final looked slightly frustrated and was fighting her with some big moves, it was not nearly convincing enough.

It was simple. If Qin Yu could kill a bunch of Blazing Sun Owners, the situation would become very unfavorable for him.

And such an unfavorable situation would most likely lead to his death.

Final was someone who was really afraid of death, and no one was more aware of this than Rourou. Everything else was not too much to handle, but as long as there was a possibility of death, Final would not have such a mild reaction.

Where did the problem occur?

The thoughts ran quickly in Rourou’s mind. As the only other being that was born from the Source of Reincarnation, in a complete state, she could perceive the entire world with just a thought. Everything was calm and, at least within Rourou’s perception, she did not sense anything off.

However, that anxiety in her heart which became even stronger with time was a clear warning sign.

“Qin Yu!” Rourou called out.

Her voice rang out in Qin Yu’s mind, “Do not kill them!” According to the original plan, Qin Yu was supposed to become the only Blazing Sun Owner in this world.

When that happened, they could carry on with the second part of their plan – to merge nine Blazing Suns into one – which would bring about changes in his attributes as the only Blazing Sun Owner.

This would help Qin Yu to cross the limits and step into the Source of Reincarnation realm. If Qin Yu and Rourou worked together, they would be able to kill Final and they would no longer have to worry about the whole world dying together with him.

But now, Rourou was going to change the plan!

Qin Yu could not step into the Source of Reincarnation realm…she had a strong and clear intuition about this.

A cryptic look appeared in the depths of Final’s eyes as he looked at Rourou, “Origin, you’ve finally realized it.”

He did not even try to deny that he was up to something. He directly admitted it.

Since Origin had already found out, there was no more meaning in hiding it.

With a smile on Final’s face, he raised his hand and slammed it down. “Since things have gotten to this point, Qin Yu has no other choice. He will not be able to enter the Source of Reincarnation realm!”

On the other side, the Blazing Sun Owners were engaged in a battle.

The true form of three Blazing Suns descended, causing endless light and a terrifying heat to descend upon this place. Then, everything seemed to become sluggish without warning.

The three Blazing Sun Owners that had summoned their Blazing Suns’ true forms widened their eyes in shock and anger.

Because at this moment, they suddenly realized that they had lost control of their Blazing Suns.

No, it was more like there was a force that isolated and sealed their powers, breaking their connection to the Blazing Suns. Even though this power was quickly fading away as it was unable to withstand the flames of the Burning Suns, it caused the Blazing Sun Owners to enter a state of ‘detachment’ for a few moments.

And many things could happen in these short, few moments.

For example…

Ka-cha –

Ka-cha –

Ka-cha –

Snapping sounds could be heard and without any warning, intricate black cracks appeared on the surface of the three Blazing Suns’ true forms.

Then, like spiderwebs that spread outwards, these cracks now covered the whole of the Blazing Suns.

Qin Yu did not spare another thought as he turned to leave.

Whoosh –

He disappeared.

The next moment, the three Blazing Sun true forms shattered.

“Ah!”

The faces of the three Blazing Sun Owners who were closely tied to the three Blazing Sun true forms immediately contorted as they wailed in pain. Fresh blood gushed out of their seven orifices and in the next moment, this blood began to burn.

The power and realm of Blazing Sun Owners all depended on the Blazing Sun that they controlled.

And now that their respective Blazing Suns had shattered, they fell together with them. The power that they once held now backfired on them.

In an instant, all three Blazing Sun Owners were knocked into a state beyond redemption. Their bodies shriveled up and their flesh started to wither and shatter.

Qin Yu frowned and there was a gloomy expression in his eyes. Rourou’s warning echoed in his ears, but still, these three Blazing Sun Owners had fallen just like that.

Even though he did not detect anything just now, he was now very sure that a problem had arisen.

He looked up in the direction of Final and Origin’s great battle. Even though everything was being distorted and he could not see what was going on, he could still sense that Final was looking at him.

It was a sinister and silent gaze, filled with endless disdain.

“Origin…” Sect Mountain called out in fright.

At this moment, he could feel himself losing control of his own power.

The two Blazing Sun Owners opposite him had the same reaction, looking shocked and furious.

Rumble –

The space started to tremble violently and the sky above them began to shatter and dissipate.

A great sun appeared from within the cracks, giving out endless light. Under its illumination, the bodies of the three Blazing Sun Owners that had fallen started to dim at a speed visible to the naked eye. The power that they possessed was being stolen away from them!

At the same time, this great sun that appeared started to swell rapidly in size and the aura that it gave out became increasingly intimidating.

As Qin Yu witnessed this scene, he frowned even more and his eyes narrowed.

This was because this great sun that had appeared was the little blue lamp.

It was…the Blazing Sun that Qin Yu owned!

However, everything that was happening now was not under Qin Yu’s control at all. It was all happening on its own.

“Little blue lamp!” Qin Yu growled.

However, this great sun that was still growing bigger and bigger in size did not respond.

Very quickly, the three Blazing Suns had been extinguished and the Blazing Sun that Qin Yu controlled grew to three times its original size, becoming a Super Blazing Sun. As it hung in the sky, it illuminated the entire world.

At this moment, all living beings that existed in countless small worlds looked up. They could clearly see this terrifying sun in the sky.

They could also feel a terrifying power coming from it, one that was powerful enough to destroy everything in this world.

Rourou suddenly understood what Final was trying to do.

She had fallen into his trap!

And she had fallen into this trap a long, long time ago. Final was even more sinister and terrifying than she thought.

“No, you’re wrong.” Final had a calm expression on his face. “This is what I prepared in case the worst case scenario happened, but to be frank, I never wished for things to turn out like this.

“Yet, I’m sorry but I have no other choice. In all honesty, if not for your assistance, I would not have been able to do this. After all, merging nine Blazing Suns into one is something that would not have happened without your permission.”

He laughed, raised his hand, and said, “If the merging of the nine Blazing Suns is successful, Qin Yu will be able to break past the limits, reaching the Source of Reincarnation realm, and becoming a powerful existence just like us.

“But of course I won’t allow something like that to happen, so I’ve already made preparations in advance. He can only die…die in my place.”

Rourou’s face looked extremely gloomy now as she frowned, not saying a single word.

“Origin, you should know that things have reached the point of no return. Whether Qin Yu is willing or not, he will still end up being the owner of nine Blazing Suns. And then, he will die from losing control of them.

“He…will become the new Final. This whole world will embark on a new cycle of reincarnation because of him.”

A satisfied look appeared in Final’s eyes.

He had been setting this plot up for countless years. When he was met with the most danger, he had finally seen the fruits of his efforts. Qin Yu had replaced him, becoming the new ‘Final’ to destroy the world, removing him from the rules of nature.

In other words, when the whole world underwent a restart, there would be a new ‘Final’.

And the current Final would be free.

From then on, he would be immortal, transcending heaven and earth, and he could watch the cycle of reincarnation from the side. He could even try to find other opportunities after the world restarted.

After all, there was a realm even higher than his. Light Pagoda’s existence was the best evidence of this.

Final had always wanted to know how it felt to be in an even higher realm.

The sky is high and the seas are wide.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

The future prospects are endless.

Detachment from life and death.

“Hahahaha!” Final guffawed. At this moment, he was finally reaching the goal that he had been chasing for an endless amount of time.

“I admire you,” Rourou said slowly.

Final nodded. Right now, he felt that he was qualified to be proud of himself. He pointed at her and said, “Origin, now, we just have to silently wait for the world to be destroyed.”

There were millions of worlds out there that held billions of living creatures. All of them would be destroyed and they would die…but what was it to him?

Rourou was silent.

She looked up at the Super Blazing Sun.

Sect Mountain and the other two Blazing Sun Owners were now desperately trying to resist the Super Blazing Sun’s swallowing power.

However, this resistance was bound to be in vain. Their fates could no longer be changed.

“Origin! Save me!” Sect Mountain called out.

The next moment, his cries stopped abruptly.

Boom –

The Blazing Sun that was forcefully summoned above his head was directly shattered.

At the same time, the two Blazing Suns belonging to the other two Blazing Sun Owners were also extinguished.

Rumble –

Like three huge fire snakes, they whistled up towards the sky and merged with the Super Blazing Sun, causing it to become even bigger.

Qin Yu’s body trembled as he tried desperately to suppress the power that was exploding and erupting in his body, but like a terrifying volcanic eruption, he was completely unable to do anything about it. This newfound power rushed and roared madly in his body.

Pop, pop –

Pop, pop –

Cracks started to form on the surface of his skin and blood splattered out of these cracks.

The next moment, this blood evaporated.

It was as if a giant beast was being shoved into his body as the power surging inside him went way past the limits of what he could control.

Qin Yu felt as if he was standing on the edge of destruction and he would be torn to ashes at any moment.

Rourou’s eyelids trembled a little bit as she looked down, staring at her feet.

Final’s calm voice rang out, “Both of us know that this was destined to happen. No one in this world can save him.”

Rourou took a deep breath before breathing out slowly.

She raised her head and said, “You’re right…”

The next moment, Final’s expression froze.

“I can’t save him, but Qin Yu can still continue to live.”

Final could feel his heart sinking as he glared at Rourou, “What are you trying to do? Origin!”

Rourou raised both of her hands. Her body glowed and silver light was being released from her.

The illusion of a moon appeared above her head.

Among the heavens and the millions of worlds, there were nine Blazing Suns.

However, there was only one silver moon.

This silver moon was Origin’s avatar, or it could also be known as her manifestation.

In this world, there was only one moon.

At this moment, the Full Moon had descended!

Fear could be seen on Final’s face as he looked at Rourou.

“You’re insane!” He screamed at the top of his lungs.

It was as if he had seen something completely unexpected.

This was because even though the Full Moon existed in this world, it could never break away from its orbit.

It was the anchor of this entire world!

Once the Full Moon moved, it would cause the whole world to be plunged into an unpredictable state.
