Capítulo 1268: Chapter 414: Just a Little Short
Nuwa emerged from Sun Wukong’s body, and the Primordial Demon Qi instantly retracted all the mana.
A feeling of emptiness came from within, and Sun Wukong sighed; that kind of powerful sensation is indeed very addictive.
However, he quickly came to his senses, after all, that power did not belong to him.
Moreover, he believed that one day, he would not be weaker than those strong at that level.
Nuwa stared at the Purple Emperor and suddenly sighed.
“Ultimately, it is still not enough.”
She said this because the Purple Emperor hadn’t truly resurrected, and was just a bit short.
For a powerful being to fall and be thoroughly resurrected is an extremely difficult task.
Unlike the strength below the Creation Realm, although such beings are hard to kill, once truly killed, resurrection becomes extremely difficult.
Even with Nuwa’s divine skills and her use of Creation Divine Powers, she could not help the Purple Emperor to fully return.
At this moment, although the Purple Emperor seemed to have returned, it was not in perfection; just a slight difference was the line between life and death.
However, the Purple Emperor smiled, nodded slightly at Nuwa, and said, “Thank you, my friend, for assisting me. To reach this stage, I am already very fortunate. Even if I completely fall, having seen this world once more, I have no regrets.”
“If my true self could return, I might be able to help you completely resurrect.”
Nuwa thought for a moment; her Primordial Spirit, after all, was not the same as her true self.
If her true self returned and acted with full strength, she might be able to save the Purple Emperor.
But seeing the slightly troubled expression on Nuwa’s face, how could the Purple Emperor not understand? Nuwa’s true self naturally could not return easily.
Otherwise, she would not look so troubled.
“Your true self is not within the Three Realms, and in your Primordial Spirit, I have sensed their aura. You have killed strong beings, and not just one; your true self is likely battling them.”
The Purple Emperor speculated.
“Yes.”
Nuwa nodded.
The Purple Emperor said firmly, “My friend, do not return; do not forsake the greater for the lesser. I will strive on my own to reach perfection and truly resurrect. You should focus on your matters; if the entire world’s living beings suffer because of me, I might as well be dead.”
The Purple Emperor’s words were sincere and decisively expressed his intent.
He did not wish for Nuwa to return; she had to give her all in the battle against “them.”
If Nuwa were to retreat, “they” might also invade the Three Realms.
“When I resurrect, I will aid you, causing an upheaval in heaven and earth.”
The Purple Emperor’s eyes flashed with a captivating light, filled with immense battle intent and unparalleled coldness.
“I wish for you, my friend, to return soon.”
Nuwa said, also decisively making her decision.
The Purple Emperor smiled faintly, exuding absolute confidence.
“If I wish to return alive, naturally I can return alive. No matter how difficult it is, I will fight once more for the sake of all living beings.”
His handsome face was full of determination and his whole body was brimming with fighting spirit.
“I will leave behind the Creation Qi Mechanism here to help you, my friend.”
Nuwa said,
She tried her best to offer help, aiming for the Purple Emperor’s resurrection.
This was an outstanding figure within the Creation Realm, and a strong being who had fought against “them.” If he could completely return, it would definitely be a major force in the Three Realms, playing a vital role in future battles.
“Thank you, my friend.”
The Purple Emperor did not refuse.
He could already sense the Dao in Nuwa, which had a tremendous effect on him, potentially aiding in a better resurrection.
Nuwa left behind the Creation Qi Mechanism, and the Purple Emperor glanced at Azure Dragon and the others, nodding slightly.
Then, his gaze landed on Sun Wukong, revealing a peculiar expression.
“You really resemble an old friend of mine. He was called Supreme Treasure, also a stone monkey, the strongest of our era.”
Sun Wukong smiled lightly and said, “There are many beings in the world with similarities. It’s normal for me to bear some resemblance to the stone monkey; we’re both transformed from Immortal Stones.”
The Purple Emperor shook his head and said, “No, I mean the aura and the trajectory of growth, the potential within you are all very similar to Supreme Treasure, as if a hand is deliberately arranging it, wanting to mold you into such an existence.”
“Who has that kind of power?”
Sun Wukong countered.
The Purple Emperor was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, “It seems you know quite a lot. Indeed, who has that kind of power? Supreme Treasure was the strongest in one realm, almost transcending the level of the Creation Realm and liberating itself completely. Trying to craft such a strong being is not achieved by mere arrangements.”
Sun Wukong remained expressionless and said blandly, “So, Old Sun is just Old Sun, unrelated to others. Supreme Treasure is Supreme Treasure, and Old Sun is the Great Sage Equalling Heaven.”
The Purple Emperor revealed a peculiar expression, nodded slightly, and said, “If you can think this way, it’s very good. However, I see the potential of Supreme Treasure in you, hoping you can stand shoulder to shoulder with him in the future.”
“I will.”
Sun Wukong said calmly.
The Purple Emperor smiled faintly, made a gesture of respect towards Nuwa, and vanished into the depths of the great tomb.
A brand new barrier emerged, isolating everyone from the external world.
If this time, he couldn’t truly resurrect, the Purple Emperor wouldn’t come out of seclusion.
Otherwise, it would mean he failed, turning to dust.
The surrounding evil aura also dissipated.
The remnants of gods and demons turned to dust at Nuwa’s word.
This Purple Emperor’s Tomb now held only the Purple Emperor.
The place became peaceful, with countless divine senses probing.
Nuwa released her own divine thought, sweeping through with Primordial Spirit Power.
All those divine thoughts were repelled, and many were injured.
“This is, Nuwa’s aura.”
“Ah, so it’s the disturbance made by Goddess Nuwa. Thank goodness I wasn’t too presumptuous.”
A strand of blood trickled from Zibaiqing’s mouth. He snorted coldly, unexpectedly injured by Nuwa’s direct action on his divine thought.
He could feel that Nuwa was deliberately targeting him, giving him a warning.
At this moment, Zibaiqing was somewhat puzzled.
Was that person truly his father?
Could it be that Nuwa was stirring up something, or activated some item of his father’s?
After all, in the strongest realm, the Purple Emperor had already been slain.
The destroyers had acted personally, a scene Zibaiqing witnessed with his own eyes.
Later, Zibaiqing relied on the contingencies left by his father to successfully flee.
The Purple Emperor did not flee, firstly because as a Creation Realm strong being, he naturally had his dignity and would not allow himself to escape.
Secondly, because his strength and status were significant, the opponents would not permit such a strong being to escape.
If the Purple Emperor were to escape, it would be a significant threat to the destroyers.
The Purple Emperor could only choose to fight to the death, and only die fighting.
The divine thoughts of the Three Pure Ones also probed over, and Nuwa snorted coldly, releasing her divine thought.
The four divine thoughts collided, also engaging in conversation.
Soon, Goddess Nuwa turned into a ray of light, merging into Sun Wukong’s body, falling silent thereafter.
