Chapter 2002: The Heaven Mending Sect’s Plan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
An Lin had made up his mind. His first priority was to join the sect first.
In any case, no one could control him now. He just had to focus on gathering more information!
“The Heaven Mending Sect welcomes you.” Nuwa extended a hand with a smile on her face.
An Lin shook Nuwa’s hand. This was the first time he had shaken hands with Nuwa, and her hand was very soft and warm.
Nuwa smiled at An Lin like a doting big sister.
An Lin tried to retract his hand, only to find that Nuwa was unwilling to let him go. She was holding onto his hand with a hint of enjoyment on her face.
An Lin was shocked. Was she flirting with him?
Just as this thought sprang to mind, Nuwa retracted her hand before turning to Xu Xiaolan. “Divine Phoenix Maiden, An Lin has already joined the Heaven Mending Sect, are you interested in joining as well?”
Not only did Nuwa want An Lin, but she was also now trying to recruit Xu Xiaolan as well.
Xu Xiaolan shook her head with a faint smile. “I’ll pa.s.s. I’ll fight whoever An Lin fights, and I’ll help him with whatever he needs help with. That’s the best arrangement for me.”
She could tell what An Lin’s true objective for joining the Heaven Mending Sect was from his reactions. As such, it wouldn’t be a good idea for her to join the sect as well. An Lin was only joining the sect to steal information. If both of them joined the sect for that same ulterior motive, it would be going too far!
An Lin cast a fleeting glance of approval at Xu Xiaolan.
“Alright.” Nuwa was slightly disappointed, but she still maintained her smile. “Then let’s go sign the heaven mending contract. I’ll tell you the core secrets of the Heaven Mending Sect after that.”
An Lin’s heart jolted slightly with shock. Things were progressing more quickly than he had expected.
“Please wait here for now, Divine Phoenix Maiden.” Nuwa waved a hand, and the colorful spatial hole appeared again. “An Lin, please come with me.”
Nuwa strode into the spatial door as she spoke.
An Lin immediately followed along.
After entering the spatial door, he was instantly struck by a rush of dizziness.
An Lin was a little startled by this. It was very rare for him to experience spatial dizziness at his level. This indicated that the spatial energy density within the spatial door was very high. That, in turn, suggested that they were going to a place on a very high plane of existence.
The world around him transformed drastically.
Soon, a burst of gentle, white light appeared before his eyes.
An Lin saw a boundless sky of stars. These stars flowed like rivers, converged to form vortexes, and constructed all types of stellar images. His line of sight pierced through the boundless sky of stars to a s.h.i.+mmering continent. That continent seemed to be the very core of the starry sky.
As his line of sight drew closer, he finally saw what the continent looked like. This was the Tai Chu Continent. There was a sinister hole in the heavens of this world, and countless, inky-black cracks spread outward, emanating destruction and chaos.
On the ground below, a pillar of white light shot into the sky, directly into the sinister hole. The pillar of light released sticky, viscous energy in an attempt to fill the hole.
Not far away from the pillar of white light, there was an extremely sharp black and white spear. The tip of the spear was pointed directly up at the sky, and it seemed to be threatening to puncture this entire world.
Countless black veined patterns were being released by the blunt end of the spear. These veined patterns covered the entire Tai Chu Continent, creating a black formation that was relentlessly gathering the power of the earth. It was as if the spear were trying to gather the power of the entire Tai Chu Continent in order to crush the heavens.
Aside from the most prominent black and white spear, there were also nine hundred and ninety-nine miniature spears pointing up at the sky. These miniature spears were also relentlessly gathering power.
One could imagine the earth-shattering spectacle that would be created once these spears unleashed all of their powers.
An Lin instantly understood a lot just from seeing this.
“This is my projection model of the Tai Chu Continent. You can see the true form of the Tai Chu Continent here,” Nuwa explained.
An Lin nodded with a hint of excitement. This was the first time he had seen the Tai Chu Continent presented in such a straightforward fas.h.i.+on. It had to be said that the Tai Chu Continent was currently in a very curious situation. There was a doctor trying to save it, but there was also a murderer trying to kill it. Both of them were trying to achieve their respective objectives alongside one another, but neither party was influencing the other…
If the Tai Chu Continent were a living being with sentient will, it would most likely be in a state of panic.
“You can see that our goal is to fill the hole in the sky.” Nuwa pointed a slim finger at the sinister hole.
“However, the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect is trying to deliver a lethal blow to the hole in the sky. They are essentially going to land the killing blow and destroy the entire Heavenly Dao in doing so.” Nuwa continued, “After that, they will replace the Heavenly Dao. This is an extremely dangerous and insane plan. Even the slightest mishap could lead to destruction.”
An Lin knew that Nuwa was not exaggerating. This was truly the case.
If a living being was to replace the Heavenly Dao, how could one ensure that they upheld absolute fairness? How could one ensure that this living being would strive to make this world a better place? Who would hold them accountable for their actions?
Unless that living being wiped away their own sentient will and became a truly emotionless manager, there was no way to ensure these things.
An Lin thought the same thing about the Heavenly Sea G.o.d.
Even though the Heavenly Sea G.o.d was a part of the Heavenly Dao, he had his own sentient will, which made him no different to a living being. If he were allowed to control the entire Heavenly Dao, no one knew what would happen. The Tai Chu Continent could become heaven or h.e.l.l. How was An Lin supposed to ensure that the Tai Chu Continent wouldn’t descend into chaos?
No matter how he thought about it, the mending of the heavens seemed like the way to go.
This was also why An Lin wanted to know more about the Heaven Mending Sect first. Even though the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect had been quite good to him, he was still more inclined toward the mending of the heavens. Successful mending of the heavens would ensure that all of the Heavenly G.o.ds would be eradicated, and there would be no potential risks involved.
“Our Heaven Mending Sect is a sect that abides by the natural order and the Heavenly Dao. We are protected by the subconscious will of the Heavenly Dao, and even the paramount Heavenly G.o.ds do not dare to touch us. This is why I have been able to mend the heavens for so long without encountering any resistance,” Nuwa explained.
An Lin had always thought that the Heaven Mending Sect was just a sect of cowards. However, that didn’t appear to be the case. They simply didn’t need to fight…
“Our heaven mending plan is split into six steps. The first step is to fill the hole in the sky with matter, the second step is to repair the core of the heavens, the third step is to restructure and rebuild, the fourth step is to inject dao power, the fifth step is to perfect the Heavenly Dao, and the sixth step is to eradicate negative consequences.
“At present, we are close to completing the restructure and rebuild stage. We are going to begin the fourth step of injecting dao power soon…” Nuwa continued.
An Lin had heard the Heavenly Sea G.o.d mention the third step, and he was quite intrigued after hearing about the remaining steps. “What do you mean by dao power injection?”
Nuwa turned to An Lin with a smile. “The Heavenly Dao is split into matter and power. Its power is dao, and the injection of dao power refers to repairing the flawed parts of the Heavenly Dao. In other words, we are aiming to perfect and repair the heavenly darkness power!”
