Chapter 220 Ch 220: Wish & Will
"As for the ninth one...cough cough, let's not about her. She was something else."
"Anyway, you are the tenth person to come here and also the weakest of them all. However, your potential... I hope it is the biggest among them all. Otherwise, you will face my test as well and die here."
"I've waited for far too long, for billions of years. I wanted to find someone who could pass my master's test so that the purpose of this Myriad Plane Dimensions creation could be completed. However, it was too difficult. In the past billions of years, not a single person passed my test. It was also master's fault for having too high a requirement."
Ye Xiao was shocked when he heard the red-robed figure talking.
First of all, Ye Xiao learned that this vast world is called Myriad Plane Dimensions and this place was created with the purpose of finding someone to pass the test left behind by the red-robed man's master.
Second, the red-robed man has been waiting for billions of years in this place to find such a person, however, he did not find one.
Third and the most shocking thing was that only ten people including him has entered the Myriad Plane Dimensions in the past billions of years. The eight of whom died. As for the ninth one, it seems the red-robed man does not want to talk about that person.
Living for at least billions of years, this red-robed man is definitely a very powerful expert, stronger than Xu Lingzi. In short, this man is the most powerful person Ye Xiao has ever met.
Of course, he has no idea how this man fares compares to Yu Tian and the other three Yu brothers and sisters.
As for his red-clothed master, Ye Xiao also wanted to know what kind of being the senior who left behind this land of opportunity called the Myriad Plane Dimensions is.
Also, is it really possible for only ten people to enter the Myriad Plane Dimensions?
After the red-clothed figure finished speaking, he noticed Ye Xiao's puzzled expression. He seemed to have understood questions waving inside Ye Xiao's hand. He shook his head, laughed, and said, "Looks like you have many questions. I have been waiting here for billions of years. Let me explain some things in detail."
Ye Xiao's ears perked immediately and he started listening attentively.
"Let's talk about my master first. Have you ever heard of the King of Chaos?"
Ye Xiao was startled when he heard this. He did not expect this topic to talk about the King of Chaos. He nodded his head and the red-robed man started speaking, "My master is the King of Chaos of the previous era which ended twelve billion years ago. Every era can only give birth to a single King of Chaos."
"When the previous era ended, my Master had to go somewhere. That place exists in the End of Void. I don't know anything about that place."
"Anyway, before leaving for the End of Void, my master created this Myriad Plane Dimensions by capturing every node of tens of thousands of secret realms scattered throughout the chaos, connecting thousands of Lands with each other. He then captured tens of Source Universes and used those source universes as the base and fused the captured nodes into them, finally creating these Myriad Plane Dimensions."
"As long as you could find a node, you could travel to a secret realm, explore it, acquire treasures, and go to another Land through that secret realm."
"Now, let's talk about this Myriad Plane Dimensions first. The current Myriad Plane Dimensions are multiple incomparably vast worlds with seemingly endless territory, divided into a total of nine layers. Every layer of this dimension has thousands of nodes, forming a mighty grid surrounding the entire Myriad Plane Dimensions. Every node could lead to a different secret realm and could be said to be the heart of those secret realms. Moreover, every node is connected to each other. If even one node is damaged or destroyed, it will affect every secret realm connected to this Myriad Plane Dimensions."
"However, destroying a single node is far more difficult than anyone could imagine. Even if it is an Origin Fusion Sovereign, they could not destroy the node."
As the red-robed man said, he seemed to have been reminded of something and anger flashed in his eyes. He gnashed his teeth and muttered furiously, "Darn that girl, she was just a mere Origin Fusion Sovereign but was able to destroy a node that unstabilized this Myriad Plane Dimensions. Just because she was prohibited from taking the test, she furiously destroyed a node. Sigh, fixing that node is taking so much time."
Listening to the words of the white-clothed senior, Ye Xiao was truly shocked in his heart. So it turned out to be like this. This man is the disciple of a King of Chaos. There have been many Kings of Chaos by now, so learning about the King of Chaos of the previous era was not that surprising.
However, he gave importance to the words "End of Void" the most. He had already learned previously that every King of Chaos seemed to have entered the End of Void for some reason after an era ended. They seemed to have a purpose to complete, and after entering the End of Void, they never come back.
And the new era soon welcomes a new King after the disappearance of the old King.
Ye Xiao had learned from Fang Yun that a person has to first open the Eight Hidden Gates of Celestials, and after that, they enter a new realm of cultivation. The person of that cultivation realm is called the King of Chaos because there is no other person who is stronger than them and goes against them.
And for some reason, only one person could open the Eight Hidden Gates of Celestials successfully inside their bodies, stepping past the realms of Beings of Chaos, and becoming a King.
Ye Xiao was also dumbstruck when he learned about the Nine Layers of this Myriad Plane Dimensions. Then he thought about the nine-layered painting he had seen before which disappeared soon after, Ye Xiao could not help but feel that both of them are connected.
Aside from this, Ye Xiao also noticed the red-robed man gnashing his teeth in anger when talking about a girl who destroyed a node.
This man had already told Ye Xiao that nine people have ended this land before him, and eight of them failed the test. Failing the test resulted in their deaths.
As for the ninth person, the red-robed man did not want to talk about that person. And now that he talked about a girl who destroyed a node, it was not difficult for Ye Xiao to guess that this girl must be the ninth person.
But then again, he was shocked to learn that this girl was already an Origin Fusion Sovereign. Doesn't it mean she was already at the level of Xu Lingzi?
Also, what is the reason for the red-robed man to prohibit that girl from taking the test?
If she was powerful enough to destroy the node, it should not have been difficult for her to pass the test left behind by the previous King of Chaos. Then why was she prohibited from taking the test?
Ye Xiao could not help but get attracted by this girl.
"Senior, I wonder who the nine people who arrived here before me were?" Ye Xiao asked.
The white-clothed man stopped talking, then taking a deep breath, he said, "The first one appeared at the start of this era. That man was named Yan Feng. I thought he had some hope, but unfortunately, he still failed in the end. The second person was called Ouyang Yunqi. He was a very talented person, but even he failed. The third person was... Fourth person... And the eighth person failed like this and died."
After talking about all eight people, the red-robed man stopped talking and sighed bitterly.
"What about the ninth person?"
Seeing that the red-robed man had stopped talking after explaining about eight people, Ye Xiao could not help but ask.
The red-robed man frowned deeply and did not know what to say. He looked at Ye Xiao and then at his low strength. Shaking his head, he seemed disappointed for some reason. But still, he greeted his teeth and finally spoke, "The ninth person was a girl, but she was very strange. I have no idea which race she came from. There is not a single record in any book about her species. She was not a human but looked exactly like a human girl but more charming and beautiful. She was not a Spiritas, but could influence souls to some degree, she is not a Tree Monster, but could control vines and trees according to her Wish and Will."
