Chapter 1689: Chapter 1728: Primordial Land Sinking

Jiang Fan pondered for a moment, then said:

"Fallen flowers are not heartless, they turn into spring mud to nurture more flowers."

"Does it refer to the ’spring mud’ in this poem?"

Xingyuan Venerable turned back, smiling at everyone, and looked around.

His gaze seemed to transcend Hunyuan State, seeing the beings of the other eight states.

"Why has Central Earth not perished for ten thousand years, continuously flourishing?"

"It’s because one generation after another sacrifices themselves, transforming into spring mud, nourishing future generations."

"Today, it’s my turn."

Jiang Fan’s eyes reddened slightly, asking, "Isn’t there another way?"

Xingyuan Venerable said calmly, "Perhaps there is."

"But, this is the best opportunity."

"All the Giant Kings of the Heavenly Realm, and the vast majority of Nascent Soul giants, are in Hunyuan State."

"When they die, the giants will never become a threat again."

At this point,

he paused, then said, "By the way, don’t feel guilty for interfering in the Great Wine Sacrifice, which caused the Nine-Day Giant Emperor to target it in advance."

"To lure all the giants to descend upon Hunyuan State, the Great Wine Sacrifice had already decided to expose itself early."

"Without saving you, it would have exposed itself because of something else."

Jiang Fan was dumbfounded.

Only then did he understand that Hunyuan State’s defeat was part of the Spring Mud Plan.

Only by making Hunyuan State the giants’ main battlefield, attracting the main force of the ancient giants, would the Primordial Land Sinking be meaningful.

Rumble—

The tide of ancient giants drew closer.

Led by over a hundred Giant Kings, they charged aggressively towards Wenhai Academy.

Looking out, the towering giants stretched endlessly like mountains.

This was the main force of the Heavenly Giants.

They, unstoppable, would rush to all the states of Central Earth, destroying all living beings.

Xingyuan Venerable went alone outside the array, turning his back to everyone, and said:

"Farewell, friends of Central Earth."

"This school of Wenhai Academy’s restriction was set by an elder I entrusted. After the Primordial Land Sinking, it will protect you by randomly teleporting you to other states."

"I hope, in the future when I’m not here, the mountains and rivers remain unharmed, and time is peaceful."

"I’m going now!"

He leaped up.

The wish fruits buried beneath Wenhai Academy rose into the air, surrounding him as he leaped upwards.

The Vast Energy within him surged out like a tsunami.

Jiang Fan looked up at Xingyuan Venerable, feeling a sting in his nose.

Suddenly, his shoulder felt a slight weight.

It was the forehead of the True Word Venerable leaning on his shoulder.

Soon, a dampness soaked his shoulder.

Jiang Fan said, "Aren’t you going to say a few words to him?"

The True Word Venerable shook her head, speaking with a sob, "He went for the ideals of Confucian Practitioners. I can’t be his worry."

She had already regretted it.

If she had known Xingyuan Venerable would die, perhaps she would have changed her mind and recognized him as her father.

But everything came too suddenly and was too late.

Jiang Fan held her in his arms, saying, "Then take another look at him."

The True Word Venerable hesitated for a moment before slowly raising her head.

Her tearful eyes gazed up at Xingyuan Venerable, murmuring, "Father..."

Many Venerables and those in the Divinity Transformation Realm looked up.

The powerful figures from the Otherworld also gazed upwards, their eyes filled with respect.

Young Master Xiang held a jade goblet, raised it from afar:

"Qingshan buries loyal bones, Central Earth inters heroic souls."

"I, your emperor, toast to you."

"Farewell on your journey!"

Xingyuan Venerable also triggered his wish at this time.

He watched the endless tide of ancient giants ahead, his voice clear and strong:

"Xingyuan of Central Earth’s Hunyuan State, makes a wish to Heaven and Earth."

"May Hunyuan State sink into the void, never to return!"

The wishing voice echoed back and forth in the sky.

"Hunyuan... Land sinking..."

"Never... to return..."

After reverberating three times, the heavens finally responded.

The Vast Energy Xingyuan Venerable released burst into flames instantaneously.

A Venerable experiencing the Heavenly Human Five Declines, his Vast Energy reached zero on the spot.

But his Vast Energy was just a primer.

It directly ignited the thick Vast Energy in Hunyuan State’s atmosphere.

The wish was triggered!

The entire Hunyuan State began to tremble violently.

Endless cracks appeared in the sky, spreading to every corner of Hunyuan State.

The earth split with chasm-like fissures.

The atmosphere quickly dissipated, letting in streams of destructive void energy.

But this was not enough!

Crack, crack, crack—

The wish fruits carrying the millennia of Confucian Practitioners’ blessings shattered, transforming into an endless surge of Vast Energy that erupted.

It was as if the heavens felt the persistence of this wish.

A gigantic, profound force descended upon this ancient Hunyuan State.

Crack!

A terrifying snapping sound resonated.

It was the sound of the space barrier between Hunyuan State and Central Earth fracturing!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

One after another, the breaking sounds echoed incessantly at Hunyuan State’s borders.

When all the surrounding space barriers ruptured.

Hunyuan State would lose its support, sinking into eternal void.

The sages and Giant Emperors battling in the Heavenly Realm finally realized the great change in the heavens and earth.

The eight Great Wine Sacrifices seemed to have anticipated this, their faces sorrowful, "It has finally come to this."

"Xingyuan, farewell on your journey!"

Wan Yun Sage, Tianluo Sage, and the Rosy-cheeked Sage were equally shocked.

Then they respectfully shouted with sorrow:

"Xingyuan! Farewell on your journey!"

Nine Nether Demon Venerable looked over, admiration filling his eyes:

"In the Human Clan, there are indeed some not so detestable ones."

"Farewell on your journey, friends of the Human Clan."

In contrast, the expressions of the Giant Emperors changed drastically.

The Six Sun Giant Emperor exclaimed in horror, "Hunyuan State’s madmen!! A bunch of madmen!!!"

"Spent a thousand years, just to sacrifice their homeland and perish together with their enemies?"

He was in a panic.

The vast majority of the giant battle strength of the Heavenly Realm was on Hunyuan State.

Once they sank with Hunyuan State, it would be difficult for them to recover, and he, as the central tribe emperor, would become a sinner!

He regretted it.

When Jiang Fan went on a primeval hunt, he should have taken a step back.

But he gambled everything in the Heavenly Realm just to take a chance at fate.

He hadn’t expected that all the people of Central Earth were mad, all damn mad!

Each one didn’t care for their lives.

They didn’t even care for their Great State!

At this moment, he wanted to order the giants to retreat, but it was too late.

In utter despair,

suddenly, he noticed within Wenhai Academy beneath Xingyuan Venerable’s feet, there were three special beings from Central Earth.

They were more than nine zhang tall, the short ones six to seven zhang.

Dharma forms surrounded them.

Upon seeing the three, Six Sun Giant Emperor’s heart pounded wildly, and his eyes lit up with joy.

"Heaven does not forsake our Southern Heavenly Realm!"

"Hahaha!"

"Dare to harbor half-giants with my ancient giant bloodline, Central Earth, oh Central Earth, you’re truly digging your own grave!"

The bloodline within him suddenly trembled.

Within Wenhai Academy.

The Heavenly Remnant City Lord and two Three Phases Realm half-giants were whispering to each other.

"City Lord, the battle is about to end. We need to consider our own future."

"Four hundred Giant Kings probably used our Returning Ruins State’s state-level teleportation array, once this is discovered, can us half-giants survive in Central Earth?"

The Heavenly Remnant City Lord slapped his thigh in resentment, "Damn it."

"Why did no one tell us that the ancient giants of the Heavenly Realm could influence us through bloodline?"

"If it wasn’t for this, during the Heavenly Realm’s great hunt, the awakening of the ancient giant bloodline wouldn’t have affected us lower realm half-giants, causing loss of sanity and massacres in the seven cities of the Heavenly Abyss."

"Though Compassionate Sage helped cover it up."

"But those four hundred Giant Kings descended upon Heavenly Heritage City, controlled us half-giants, and took us by surprise to kill Qintian Bureau people, successfully capturing the state-level teleportation array."

"This matter will surely be exposed. The sages of Central Earth will not tolerate us anymore!"

He looked troubled.

For a moment, uncertain of what to do.
