Legend of Swordsman

Hearing the name of the Great Realm King made him involuntarily frown.

“Realm King, you’re not joking, are you? Are you sure it’s the Great Realm King and not the Realm King God?”

The difference was significant.

In the Great Realm King’s domain, only the first generation of the Great Realm Gods existed.

The other Great Realm Kings had long since perished.

Only one was still alive, and they were in the starry sky.

None were on the Realm King Continent.

On the Realm King Continent, there was only one Realm King God.

However, the consciousness of the Realm King God here had several existences.

They were all previous Realm King Gods who had fallen.

Although Jian Wushuang’s talent was not bad, having the combat power of a seven-star Universe God now, it wasn’t enough to attract the attention of the Great Realm King!

“Believe it or not, the invitation from the Great Realm King has been sent out. Just say whether you’re going or not!”

“I’ll go!”

Jian Wushuang immediately agreed, tidying his clothes, with a halo above his head.

In this realm of consciousness, it was actually no different from the outside world, except you couldn’t leave.

“Then let’s go. How do we get to Chaos City?” The Northern Realm King, seeing him take the bait, let out a slight smile, conjured a small flying boat, and took Jian Wushuang away from this small Blue Star.

On the way, looking at the outside scenery, Jian Wushuang’s eyes widened.

He had seen quite a few wondrous sights, but the scenery along the way left him completely astonished.

This was true beauty!

There might be no place more beautiful in the world.

“Don’t be so surprised. This is a world born of consciousness. The scenery is naturally the most beautiful scenes recorded in consciousness. In simpler terms, the scenery here is all illusions. Don’t take it too seriously. When we get to Chaos City, it’ll be even more fun!”

Consciousness changes?

Jian Wushuang’s eyes moved as he looked at the beautiful scenery before him.

He lost himself in thought for a moment.

If the changes in consciousness were true, wouldn’t it be possible to become as strong as one desired, just like in the Land of Chaos?

There, countless demons were born, living recklessly and freely in the outside world.

They could open up anything at will.

There were no constraints.

A world born of consciousness, wasn’t it the same as the Land of Chaos?

Then where was the real world they lived in?

The starry sky, Realm King Continent, the Four Great Spacetimes, the universe, the myriad worlds.

These seemingly real things, could they also be illusions?

At this moment, a seed of doubt sprouted in his heart.

Self-doubt.

Doubt about the world.

He suspected the authenticity of this world.

This was his feeling after entering the world of consciousness.

Later, he quickly put these thoughts behind him.

Along the way, the Northern Realm King took his time, showing no urgency.

The strange sights along the road also piqued Jian Wushuang’s curiosity.

They stopped to play for a few days before continuing forward.

In the realm of consciousness, he encountered no danger.

It was like a fairyland.

He also met many Universe Gods’ consciousnesses, who seemed familiar with the Realm King.

They all greeted warmly, without any airs.

Even some nine-star Universe Gods were extremely polite.

Such a perfect world, living like this forever would actually be quite good.

The intrigues and battles in the outside world, what was the point?

Seeing the change in Jian Wushuang’s expression, the Realm King explained, “Don’t be fooled by the peace here. There are also some threats, and this world is too small, unsuitable for long-term survival, or the consciousness will collapse!”

“No wonder!” Jian Wushuang sighed, “If this were the real world, perhaps there wouldn’t be any cultivators. Everything could be resolved peacefully. Why need force?”

“Haha, your ambition is not bad, but it’s hard to achieve!”

This wasn’t an ambition, but a common thought among fallen cultivators.

Living here for a long time, some would sink into despair, seeing this place as their final refuge until they perished.

They would rather die than reincarnate.

They had reached a point where they were not afraid of death.

Some cherished their lives and wanted to accumulate fortune to reincarnate.

Actually, at their level, death was not truly frightening.

What was terrifying was losing the things they once had.

It all came down to human nature.

This was something he didn’t discuss with the Realm King.

The other party wasn’t human; even if he explained, it wouldn’t be understood.

Jian Wushuang was different. He came from the mortal world.

He had witnessed the multitude of beings among mortals.

Mortals would always contend.

For power, for honor, for superiority.

Such struggles would always arise.

Some struggles were physical fights, while others were battles within oneself.

Struggling against oneself.

For example, a poor boy from the mortal world might insist on marrying a rich girl.

Why?

Because he saw others doing it and felt he would lose face if he didn’t do the same.

So, he fought desperately, seeking others’ approval.

Until the end, when he died from exhaustion, he still left with a smile.

He fought for something better.

Jian Wushuang had also paid a price for this.

Even now, he asked himself if it was worth it.

Perhaps it wasn’t, but having walked this path, the brilliance of his life might not be any less than those who achieved great wealth and power.

When he fell, he would at least leave with a smile.

“Perhaps, I understand now!”

Jian Wushuang looked up at the enchanting scenery and gently closed his eyes.

Feeling the breeze, he leisurely continued on his journey.

Enjoying a brief moment of peace.

Several days later.

The Realm King finally brought him to Chaos City.

The yellowed ancient city didn’t exude an ancient aura or any intimidating power.

It was just an ordinary little mortal city.

Here, no matter how powerful you were, you couldn’t act on your own.

Otherwise, your consciousness would be erased.

There wasn’t even a guard at the gate.

The consciousnesses on the street each went their own way.

After arriving in Chaos City, Jian Wushuang noticed that the people here rarely smiled.

Most wore expressions of worry and sorrow.

This must be the pressure the Realm King mentioned.

Unable to let go of everything they once had, they wanted to be resurrected.

Outside, those they encountered had given up on reincarnation, living their final days in the Realm King God Realm.

But these people here, they fought for everything they once had.

“Come, let’s go to the arena!”

“The arena?”

“Why go there? Aren’t we here to see the Great Realm King?”

Jian Wushuang was a bit puzzled.

“Hehe, you’ll understand once we get there. To meet the Great Realm King, we must prepare a gift.”

“That’s true. You are thoughtful, Lord Realm King.” He nodded, realizing he had been too impatient.

Others could be in a hurry, but he would not.

His consciousness wouldn’t collapse, and he could slowly cultivate without needing to reincarnate, just mingling here with plenty of time.

So, he followed the Realm King to the arena.

Upon arrival, he found it was indeed a circular arena.

But who were the opponents?

Jian Wushuang was curious.

Entering here didn’t require any payment.

Because there weren’t even two guards.

The two of them entered casually.

After finding a place to sit down.

The Realm King leisurely said, “In a moment, there will be a battle between two Universe Gods whose consciousnesses are about to collapse. You must watch closely. Such a deathmatch is rarely seen in the outside world.”
