Chapter 384: Who Is the True Scourge?

That’s exactly Chen Xiao!
He had already decided in his heart that Mo Xian was his wife. So, even if everything in the chaos, in existence, or even in nothingness regarded Mo Xian as an enemy, saw her as evil, and cast upon her the worst curses, Chen Xiao would still stand firmly by her side, shielding her from it all!
It was an extreme personality, but it was precisely Chen Xiao’s true nature! Even if someone were a great good person, loved by all living beings, praised by everyone, if they did something that Chen Xiao could not tolerate, he would kill them even if it meant bearing countless accusations!
Simply because… Chen Xiao would not acknowledge them!
Now, in Chen Xiao’s heart, Mo Xian was already recognized as his wife, and he was determined to stand by her through thick and thin. The words from the Heavenly Book had already stirred his murderous intent. But out of respect for the gods, he did not act immediately.
Yet, everyone present were ancient powers, even those who existed from the very beginning of the new chaos when the first world was born. How could they not sense Chen Xiao’s murderous intent?
At this moment, even Changsheng felt an inexplicable fear.
“He has the ability to kill me…” Changsheng thought to himself, such a notion arising in his mind.
Who was Changsheng? He was the embodiment of the eternal desire of all living beings for immortality, determined to take form. In other words, as long as living beings harbored the desire for immortality, he would not die. Even if destroyed and turned into chaos, he could reappear from nothingness with all his memories.
But now, Changsheng realized that Chen Xiao truly had the ability to kill him. Moreover, even though the desire for immortality still existed, he would no longer be able to take form and become a true living being.
“Only the people from the Jade Flower Palace, or the two powers who created this realm. But those two have already become part of heaven and earth and will not appear until Human Path is fully achieved… Could it be that Chen Xiao’s Human Path has been fully achieved?”
Suddenly, Changsheng thought of a terrifying possibility.
If Chen Xiao’s Human Path was fully achieved, it meant everything he had done before would be in vain. Once Human Path was perfected and merged with the paths of heaven and earth, he would lose his authority to rule on behalf of heaven, and he would also lose his protection, possibly being killed by the three paths of heaven, earth, and humanity!
Since the beginning of chaos, those who ruled on behalf of heaven had also died, but such things only happened when a new ruler emerged. In the struggle between the two rulers, one would surely die.
Only one could rule on behalf of heaven at a time!
But if his authority was taken away, he would no longer be the ruler and might be killed—this was what Changsheng feared the most.
…
“Chen Xiao, although you refuse to listen to me, I’ll say it again—she… must leave your side, and then, she must die!”

At this moment, the tone of the Heavenly Book grew even more fierce. An overwhelming killing intent radiated unabashedly from its core, piercing through the spatial barriers of this realm and even scattering the chaos itself. This killing intent actually moved straight from existence to non-existence! Penetrating existence and non-existence! The power of this Heavenly Book had reached an incomprehensible level. In fact, one-third of the worlds in this realm were destroyed and turned into chaos. All beings within—whether those from the realm itself or the demons in the prison—were reduced to ashes upon being affected. No matter their cultivation level, even those demons with supreme powers perished at the touch of this killing intent—such was its strength! Chen Xiao remained unmoved, his expression still utterly calm, but his hand tightly grasped Mo Xian’s. At the same time, streams of warm air emanated from his hand and flowed into Mo Xian’s body. “Perhaps you don’t understand what her existence means as a threat to you. You uphold human values, spread human civilization, restore justice for people, and establish a true foundation for humanity, this so-called ‘primate of all beings’ with no legitimate claim… But everything you do is merely serving her, helping this woman around you become her wedding dress!” “How is human civilization passed on? Through books, through writing? Wrong! It’s through sound! Only with sound can civilization endure and humanity thrive! This woman has obtained the Source Sound of the Dao, aiming to steal your human values and use them for her own benefit! And your fate will be to be reborn in cycles, utterly destroyed!” The tone of the Heavenly Book grew increasingly brutal, its killing intent aimed straight at Mo Xian without any concealment. As soon as the Heavenly Book stopped speaking, the expressions of Changsheng and Shentian changed instantly. Even their eyes toward Mo Xian carried a hint of hostility. Chen Xiao glanced at Mo Xian, whose face had turned pale, and simply shook his head. With a gentle wave of his free hand, the overwhelming killing intent turned into gentle breezes that swept past Chen Xiao and Mo Xian’s faces. “Even if that’s true, what does it have to do with you?” A faint smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s face as he looked at the Heavenly Book with curiosity. At this moment, the Heavenly Book was still held in Shentian’s hands, but it was bathed in golden light, with a faint figure emerging from it. This figure was identical to Wuhen, who had disguised himself earlier. “Chen Xiao, listen to Wuhen and leave her… I understand how you feel…” Shentian spoke up then. “Shui Miao… Perhaps you’re still the old Shui Miao… What if I said you must give up this book in your hands, and then I’ll kill her? Would you agree?” Chen Xiao’s tone remained calm. “Those are two different things!” Before Shentian could speak, Changsheng interjected. But Chen Xiao didn’t reply; he simply stared at Shentian calmly. “Is there any reason why this must be done? Or are you simply holding grudges against Wuhen because of Mo Xian?” Shentian remained surprisingly calm.

“Huh, I always thought you understood. It turns out you don’t.” Chen Xiao shook his head, stroked Mo Xian’s long hair, and said with a smile, “Xianxian, I know you wouldn’t do this…”
“Xiao… wuuu…” Suddenly, Mo Xian threw herself into Chen Xiao’s arms and burst into tears.
Chen Xiao said nothing, only patted her back gently, soothing her softly.
“But… you can’t escape the fate of reincarnation after all…”
Mo Xian’s body trembled violently.
“He’s right. Only if I die can you be saved…”
“Shut up!” At that moment, Chen Xiao became furious. He yelled at Mo Xian, “What nonsense are you talking about! If you die, I’ll be saved?! Dare you try dying to save me? It’s absurd! Do you think this is some child’s game of trading one life for another?! I tell you, if you die, I’ll die with you!”
Mo Xian stared at Chen Xiao blankly, not knowing what to say.
Suddenly, Chen Xiao calmed down. He looked at Shentian and asked again, “Would you do what I said just now?”
“Chen Xiao, can you wake up and understand the situation? Her existence threatens not only you but also all things in the Chaos! Her identity isn’t that simple.” Shentian’s tone was sharp.
“Huh… If you met the Misty Rain Daoist who can restore things to their original state, maybe you’d understand everything.” Chen Xiao shook his head. “I always thought you understood the key to this by not trying to revive the dead. But it seems you still don’t.”
As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, the young man in white sitting in nothingness suddenly opened his eyes.
“What?”
Yu Shi Mo Li lowered his head. A faint image of a bridge flashed in his eyes, piercing through nothingness to reveal the Dao realm in the Chaos.
“Not revive the dead? For the dead, their life imprint returns to nothingness… Now nothingness is unstable. Could he also know?”
“Huh, anyway, this also has a lot to do with me. That act of kindness back then has caused such chaos.”
…
“Wuhen, do I still need to ask who you really are?” Chen Xiao said softly. “Evil Daoist, maybe you have other names. You truly are an indestructible pest. No matter how hard you’re attacked, you just keep living.”
Wuhen in the shadow of the Heavenly Book remained expressionless, as if he hadn’t heard Chen Xiao’s words. His face showed only a faint smile.
“Evil Daoist?” Shentian and Changsheng exchanged a glance.
At that moment, countless powerful beings in the Dao realm, including some demons in prison, sensed the disturbance here and rushed over. Naturally, they had also heard the conversation between the few of them.
“Chen Xiao, it’s you. As long as I eat you, I, Solomon, can become a true human being… Eat you…”
Green light shone in Solomon’s eyes as he stared at Chen Xiao as if he were a delicious dish.

“Evil Heavenly Lord, originally I didn’t want to get involved in these matters. There are things beyond my control. But you deliberately provoked me by targeting my woman—you deserve to die.” Chen Xiao’s tone turned sharp.
“Evil Heavenly Lord? Chen Xiao, what do you mean?” Shentian’s voice trembled slightly.
“Shentian, this time you’re not mistaken—he’s still Wuhen.” Disappointment flashed in Chen Xiao’s eyes. The Water Miao who used to teach him like a mentor was truly gone, replaced by this Heavenly Lord who once used ingenious methods to guide all beings.
“The Gate of All Wonders, manifest!”
With a soft shout, Chen Xiao summoned the Gate of All Wonders, which had fully recovered to its original state. The moment it appeared, it flew toward Shentian’s body.
“Use the Gate of All Wonders to thoroughly investigate where this Wuhen Heavenly Lord really comes from, and also… what changes will occur when the dead are revived.”
