213. Chapter 211: The End Is Also a Beginning
The battles of the past few years had brought Chu Bai so much, yet he had also lost certain things. Those elusive, intangible things were hard to perceive, but once they were gone, it felt as if there was a void in his heart.
In the Divine Realm, at a manor.
Chu Bai lay on a lounge chair, his face etched with weariness. Beside him, the gentle A Yin was bringing him a cup of tea.
The slightly bitter tea slid down his throat; upon savoring it, a rich aroma filled his mouth. It seemed to slowly soothe Chu Bai's mind, which had been on edge for the past three years.
Such battles were far too brutal.
Higher-level planes harbored even more terrifying lifeforms; some of them were even a bit of a challenge for Chu Bai to handle. Fortunately, he had repeatedly transcended himself in the face of dire straits, reaching the pinnacle of the Supreme Dao.
"What are your plans from here on out?"
Soon, the inhabitants of the Divine Realm all arrived.
Chu Bai smiled faintly: "I've been in this world for so long, and I still haven't had a proper rest."
"The vast cosmos contains countless great universes. I know there are even more terrifying planes beyond the Tianxing Realm, but for now, I only wish to protect everything I hold dear—I will no longer wage war."
"However, when a crisis arises, I will fight once more to protect everything I care about."
Bi Bi Dong smiled: "Xiao Bai, you've worked hard all these years. So go ahead and get some proper rest. You've done more than enough for everyone, and we all understand."
With Chu Bai's return, his estate became quite lively. Chu Xiaoxiao and Chu Chen, who had been children back then, had now grown up, and soon, Chu Bai had another child.
This was his child with Zhu Zhuqing, who also possessed exceptional talent, and Chu Bai spent his spare time guiding the child's cultivation.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
The Divine Realm, high above the endless starry sky.
"Sigh, it's been a long time since I came to this world… so long that I've started to lose track of time."
"Now that I possess the power to tear apart space and calculate the location of the Earth I once called home, if I could, I'd bring my parents, relatives, and close friends here."
Immediately, Chu Bai sprang into action.
Endless stars swirled around him; with a gentle tap of his finger, the Great Dao laws contained within seemed to pierce through heaven and earth, traversing endless space and time to locate figures now long submerged in the river of time.
Indeed, Chu Bai saw his parents.
His former friends.
It turned out that over a hundred years had passed since he left Earth; everything had long since changed beyond recognition, reduced to dust.
But with his current abilities, he was able to forcibly trace the river of time and capture traces of where those figures had once existed in its upper reaches.
On this day, Chu Bai unleashed a feat that shook the heavens.
He brought those people from the past back to the present. When his parents saw their long-lost child again, they burst into tears. Even after Chu Bai explained everything to them, it took them a long time to come to terms with it.
After all, the concepts of cultivating immortality and the vastness of the cosmos were far too abstract and elusive for them.
But the reality was right before their eyes.
Their child had now become the ruler of this universe, with no one able to stand against him.
Moreover, they now had so many daughters-in-law, each as beautiful as a celestial maiden, which filled them with immense joy.
...
Beyond the confines of the universe, Chu Bai's figure appeared here.
He had sensed a call, which is why he had come here.
Here, the expanse of the universe itself had grown hazy, and within those blurred lights and shadows, two figures stood.
"We meet again," one of the figures said with a smile.
Chu Bai exchanged a smile with him; this figure was none other than his former second martial soul, Huang.
Beside Huang stood another figure.
It was Pangu.
This time, Pangu actually turned to look at Chu Bai and said in a low voice, "You've done very well."
"However, your mission is not yet over."
Chu Bai's expression gradually grew solemn: "My mission?"
"The Endless Universe is facing a cataclysm. Your existence is bound to both of us by an endless web of causality. However, due to certain special circumstances, this mission may require you to see it through."
Pangu said in a deep voice.
Chu Bai's expression shifted: "What kind of catastrophe could possibly affect the entire infinite universe?"
"Once you set out on this path, you will understand. Perhaps you'll wonder what exactly the relationship between you and me is, so I'll explain it to you now."
Pangu continued, "The universe contains three thousand Great Dao, and each Dao encompasses the boundless heavens, earth, and all things. You and I both exist within the Great Dao, bound by similar karmic ties. In other words, you are another manifestation of us both."
"You may uncover more of these mysteries as you journey forward."
Chu Bai and Pangu conversed for quite some time.
Shortly thereafter, Chu Bai returned to the Divine Realm. He shared his thoughts with everyone, and they all expressed concern for him.
"We cannot even imagine what kind of path that is. Compared to the past, the Douluo Plane is now likely countless times more powerful. We have become a super-plane within the Great Thousand Worlds, a true cosmic titan."
"But what you've described—isn't that likely to be ten thousand times more terrifying?"
Everyone sighed, worried for Chu Bai.
"There's no need to worry. This is my mission, and I will carry it out. I will uncover the truth behind everything."
With a determined look in his eyes, Chu Bai said, "The Douluo Plane has now grown to the point where it no longer needs my protection. All of you possess sufficient power to safeguard the Douluo Plane."
"With that, I can set out to fulfill my mission with peace of mind."
Bi Bi Dong looked at Chu Bai with a touch of reluctance: "How long will you be gone?"
"I don't know. Perhaps decades, perhaps even longer—long enough for everything to change beyond recognition, for countless old friends to be buried in the river of time, with memories as the only proof of their existence. Yet I fear that by then, even those memories will have begun to fade, and nothing will be as it once was."
Chu Bai let out a long sigh: "This path is truly endless."
"But I'm not afraid—on the contrary, I'm filled with anticipation. I won't abandon any of you."
Chu Bai's eyes sparkled as boundless runes radiated from them.
...
"An unknown world, is that right? I'm actually looking forward to it."
Chu Bai smiled faintly, a fiery glow surging in his eyes. What lay ahead of him was an unknown world—one filled with challenges and mysteries, but without a doubt, it would be incredibly exciting.
"Finally, I'll just keep writing in this diary."
[It all began when I first obtained this copy of the diary… After arriving on the Douluo Continent, I grew up in the Hall of Martial Souls. Upon acquiring this copy of the diary, the Demon-Slaying Axe evolved into the Pangu Axe, and I obtained my second martial soul: Huang.]
[These are my experiences, my most unforgettable memories. So now, if you still long for the past, read this diary from the beginning. Chapter One: "Growing Stronger by Writing a Diary—Bi Bi Dong Was Stunned."]
