Chapter 1440: Chapter 509: The Man at the End of Returning to Truth Road (Part 3)

Another river flows with the light and shadow of the past, present, and future, changing with each instant, passing by uncatchable.

At the first sight of them, Ji Jingqiu instinctively guessed their true origin—

The Mother River of Destiny and the River of Time of the Sea of Realms!

At this moment, every Divine aspect of the Investiture of the Gods seems to have found its reason.

The ability to invoke the projection of two Mother Rivers to bless itself not only encompasses the foundation of the Heavenly Court but also the foundational Dao rules of the entire Sea of Realms.

Does this mean it seals not the gods of the Heavenly Court, but the Divine of the Sea of Realms?

Ji Jingqiu suddenly thought: if he could control the Investiture of the Gods, could he use it to reverse-link the Mother River of Destiny and find the root of his destiny’s anomaly?

Just then.

The ripples in the long river gradually calmed down, turning into a "surface" of still water, and Ji Jingqiu looked down at it, as if seeing himself in the mirror.

But what he saw in the mirror was...

Blank.

Ji Jingqiu guessed that perhaps it was because the name on the Investiture of the Gods belonged to his Divine Embryo, which was why the reflection was blank?

So what True Name should he leave?

As he pondered this, he suddenly sensed something, slowly raising his head to look.

At the end of the water surface, sat a figure.

Ji Jingqiu’s expression suddenly became solemn, for he was completely unaware—who was this person?

Dou Mu? Or had Emperor Yi infiltrated the Investiture of the Gods?

He looked closely and suddenly froze, as if he had seen...

Half a familiar face?

It was a man with a gentle smile and eyes that were soft yet encompassed a supreme Divine majesty beyond Doumu Yuanjun!

And the aura emanating from him was so warm, peaceful, and embracing, as if spring encompassed all seasons; no matter how violent, extreme, or malicious a creature approached him, it would retract its claws, unable to muster any evil thought.

He merely sat there, as if embodying the very concept of "God," the source of rule and Dao, the endpoint that those two vast Mother Rivers jointly guarded.

When he gazed over, Ji Jingqiu felt that everything about himself—past, present, future, even the newly obtained Divine Dao Fruit Position—was laid bare before him, completely seen through.

Meanwhile, the Moon-cutting Sword Light within the Inner Universe vibrated violently, emitting a mournful hum, then exploded!

After the Sword Light forcibly reassembled, it seemed unable to resist looking through Ji Jingqiu’s eyes again, resulting in another explosion in mid-air, scattering into thousands of wisps of fragmented Sword Light, slowly and arduously gathering.

Wuzhou’s eyes bled, refusing to shift his gaze, ultimately going blind while blood flowed from his seven orifices, his body trembling, yet still reaching out as if just wanting one more look at that person.

Hel by the cliff slowly closed her eyes, blood seeping from the corners of her eyes, the turmoil in her heart beyond description.

What... kind of existence is this!?

...

Ji Jingqiu suddenly attained enlightenment.

This person before him is the true "foundation" of the Investiture of the Gods!

Ji Jingqiu gazed at the other for a long time; they had once brushed past each other, and at that time, not only did Ji Jingqiu see him, he also turned to look at Ji Jingqiu.

"So it’s you."

"On the Returning to Truth Road, I saw the illusion you left behind."

Ji Jingqiu took a deep breath and said.

On the Returning to Truth Road, at the shore leading to the opposite side, half a stele was left. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

It was left by this person!

The man’s smile deepened, originally smiling, now like a spring breeze brushing across myriad worlds.

He said:

"Ji Jingqiu, you are the second to reach me, I wish to engage in philosophical discourse with you."

...

Heavenly Court.

Doumu Yuanjun’s heart was shaken, rarely losing composure, her gaze filled with pleasant surprise.

The Investiture of the Gods, dormant for countless eras, which she had attempted to revive for so many years, now exhibited unprecedented violent fluctuations, showing signs of an autonomous awakening!

Without hesitation, she contacted the Star Lord, informing him of this phenomenon, urging him to expedite the process!

The true awakening of the Investiture of the Gods signifies the comprehensive revival of the Divine Dao!

Some plans can commence ahead of schedule.
