1268: Chapter 373 Stealing the Heavens_2 1268: Chapter 373 Stealing the Heavens_2 “Why?” Su He asked.
Tai Zu chuckled: “This is Yuan, and it is also the Origin.
Unless there is an equal power, it cannot be erased.”
Su He’s Taoist Ancestor finger bone immediately floated up, flying towards Tai Zu.
The power of Origin, he possesses it!
Tai Zu laughed heartily; in Su He’s eyes, the Taoist Ancestor finger bone was nothing at all, having been sent to him several times.
The Taoist Ancestor himself, if sentient, would probably kill this rebellious disciple!
Tai Zu shook his head, and the finger bone could not rise, falling back onto Su He’s hand.
“Useless.
The Taoist Ancestor is dead, how can the origin of the deceased erase the origin of the living?
Moreover, the most troublesome isn’t this finger, but the mark he left in the cosmic Origin.
That is what truly affects heaven and earth,” he said.
Why Su He, as a transmigrator, does not dare to reveal his identity before heaven and earth, why he cannot speak and act recklessly and freely—is because of the intermingling of heaven, earth, and Yuan, each containing elements of the others.
Erasing a finger bone is not the crux of this battle; pulling out the mark of Yuan from the cosmic Origin is!
Su He secured the finger bone and looked at Tai Zu, puzzled: “Then what did the old ancestor ask me to do here?”
In such a battle, he could only present the Taoist Ancestor finger bone to Tai Zu.
Tai Zu said with a smile: “Change the sun, steal the heavens!”
As the great sun has changed, how could the heavens not be changed.
At the moment the words ‘steal the heavens, change the sun’ left Tai Zu’s mouth, the vortex surrounding the Yuan Finger collapsed again.
But this time, Tai Zu didn’t wait for the finger to reform; extending his claws forward, he directly reached into the collapsing vortex, and with both claws, caught two jelly-like transparent objects.
These were the remnants of the finger bone’s power, breaking and resurrecting time and again.
Tai Zu’s claws embedded in the jelly, as if coated with a layer of film.
With a pull outward, there was a hissing sound!
Su He truly heard the sound, akin to ripping silk.
In an instant, the void tore open, and that pure white space appeared once again.
But it was different from before.
Whether it was the space Su He had cut open during his Heavenly Tribulation, or the shadow from the Heavenly Tribulation blasting itself open, that space gave one the impression of a “one-way passage.”
One could only exit, not enter!
One could look from afar, but not approach closely.
At this moment, taking advantage of the Yuan Finger’s residual power to tear open the pure white space, the passage became a two-way channel, seemingly enterable.
However, as Tai Zu’s Turtle Claw swept across, it passed through as though through an afterimage, never actually entering the space.
“Give up the thought.
Only the Origin can enter this place.
You go, just as you snatched the Big Ease Boundary Stone in Spirit Mountain, snatch the mark left by Yuan here.”
“Me?” Su He exclaimed in surprise.
If even Tai Zu could not enter, how could he?
Dazed, he met Tai Zu’s eyes, which seemed to smile knowingly, leading to a sudden enlightenment.
Licking his lips, he stepped towards the fissure.
He recited the Tao Te Ching silently in his heart, while the glow of the Taoist Ancestor finger bone enveloped him.
An aura that seemed the source of all things emanated from Su He.
The Tao Te Ching was the fundamental reason Baiyin sought to shape Su He into an “Origin.” Su He himself carried the aura of the Origin!
Yet, the Tao Te Ching was too profound.
So deep that although Su He had reached Opening Heaven Four-fold, capable of contending with an Immortal Sovereign, he had not yet entered the threshold, not truly grasped its essence.
Perhaps one day, when his Boundary Status catches up with his combat power, will he be able to truly comprehend the Tao Te Ching?
Of course, comprehension is not related to Boundary Status; perhaps it only takes a moment of sudden enlightenment.
Su He tried stepping into the pure white space.
As one foot stepped in, there was a feeling of lightness as if walking on water, almost unreal.
But a foot indeed stepped in.
He turned to look at Tai Zu, who nodded affirmatively.
Su He then saw that the finger behind Tai Zu began to reform again, but this time, the young woman within the finger had a changed expression, no longer emotionless, her eyes sharply focused on Tai Zu.
“You are Tai Gu!”
Even Su He, already en route to the pure white space, stopped in his tracks.
Who was Tai Gu?
A Dragon Turtle from history?
Had Tai Zu indeed altered his appearance and gone out to cause trouble?
Su He then saw Tai Zu’s claw wave, shooing Su He towards the pure white space with an attitude that suggested the woman was spouting nonsense, telling Little Turtle not to fuss and to quickly attend to important matters instead.
Su He tumbled into the pure white space, faintly hearing Tai Zu’s voice carrying a tone of helplessness from outside: “Do not slander; my single name is Tai, differing from Tai Gu by one character.”
The tone was clearly accusing the other party of being illiterate.
After those words, no further responses came, only the sounds of battle.
The woman within the finger did not reply, as if the things she was convinced of were undeniable, regardless of Tai Zu’s denials.
Su He’s soul ignited with curiosity, but gradually, even the sounds of battle became inaudible.
Su He let out a breath and looked around.
This place bore a resemblance to the River of Time, a pure white expanse, with only one world in the center.
Similar to the ever-changing River of Time, except this world remained unchanged—not completely unchanging, but the differences were subtle, almost imperceptible.
It was difficult to describe the size of the world; it seemed boundlessly vast, yet also as though it could be shattered with a single slap like a sand table.
His gaze landed on the sand table.
Then with a boom, a cacophony of disparate sounds simultaneously crashed into his mind.
In that instant, it felt as though all places and all events of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, Star Sea…
everything, were falling into his mind.
It was like invoking the cosmos, connecting with heaven and earth, observing all things from the perspective of heaven and earth; that illusion.
But while invoking the cosmos entails a selective choice on what to observe, here, with one glance, the entire world was in view.
An endless cacophony of noises all reached Su He’s ears at once.
The sound of wind, rain, trees growing, humans reproducing…
Quarrels, hawking, the sound of mountains and rivers collapsing…
All the noises of the world struck his ears simultaneously, echoing thunderously in his mind.
Su He’s body weakened, and he collapsed.
The instant access to all the information of the entire world was too much for Su He to bear.
