Chapter 1763: Chapter 1782: The Mystery of the Taboo

"I ask and you answer, our grievances can be written off. If your answer doesn’t satisfy me, this end of the law land will be your burial ground." Ye Xuan said coldly, with a smile.

Threat!

A blatant threat!

The ’Heartless One’ looked sullen, her exquisite face written with anger, but she could only nod bitterly because, at this moment, she could not contend with Ye Xuan.

Those who recognize the times are the shrewdest. This saying applies not only to everyone but even more to taboo individuals, for they cannot escape the realm of humanity!

"Tell me, what is a taboo? Who are you, what is your relationship with those taboo individuals who emerged from the Chaos and Time Rivers, how many taboo individuals have yet to be born?"

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in the void and further invited the ’Heartless One’ to sit down for a detailed discussion, a gentle smile hung on his face as if he wasn’t the one threatening before.

"You have too many questions, but I will tell you everything I know one by one." The ’Heartless One’ replied coolly.

"Thank you." Ye Xuan smiled slightly, his eyes exceptionally deep; he had waited a long time, perhaps the so-called taboo would be unveiled today.

"Perhaps you’ve guessed it already, I am not a being of the current Chaotic Universe, but someone who survived the previous Chaotic Universe..."

The ’Heartless One’ spoke in a low voice, gradually unveiling a piece of dusty history to Ye Xuan, energizing him, making him listen intently.

Chaotic Universe, Twelve Primordial Meetings!

These eight characters are known by all spirits, representing the division of the Chaotic Universe into twelve epochs, but this is merely a drop in the ocean. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The ’Heartless One’ was a being of the previous Chaotic Universe, and her other identity shocked Ye Xuan, though it was within his expectations too.

She was the Master of Fate of the previous Chaotic Universe!

Indeed!

She was indeed the Master of Fate from the previous Chaotic Universe, which is why she emerged from the River of Fate.

Chaotic Universe, Twelve Primordial Meetings!

When the Twelfth Epoch ends, the Chaotic Universe will be destroyed and reincarnated, all beings will turn into nothingness until a new Chaotic Universe begins, known as Chaos Reincarnation.

Legend says only by pushing open the door deep within Chaos can one truly attain transcendence, escaping Chaos Reincarnation, and truly preserving eternally, even surpassing the Chaotic Universe.

"You are the Master of Fate from the previous Chaotic Universe, so those two taboo individuals from the Chaos and Time Rivers, are they the Lord of Chaos and Master of Space-Time from the previous Chaotic Universe?"

As the ’Heartless One’ reached this part, Ye Xuan boldly speculated.

"You are right, and you are not."

Slowly shaking her head, the ’Heartless One’ uttered words Ye Xuan found difficult to comprehend.

"Indeed, those two guys are the Lord of Chaos and Master of Space-Time, but they are not figures from my era, rather survivors from even more ancient Chaotic Universes."

"While those from my era’s Chaos and Space-Time perished completely within Chaos Reincarnation." said the ’Heartless One’ heavily.

"What?"

"Even more ancient Chaotic Universe?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan was greatly astonished, his complexion instantly grew serious, for he had speculated they might be the three supreme beings of the previous Chaotic Universe, yet there was a huge difference.

These three were not from the same era, but those two were survivors from even older Chaotic Universes!

"Are you surprised?"

Self-mockingly smiling, the ’Heartless One’ murmured softly: "Do you know, from Cosmic birth to destruction, who knows how many reincarnations it has undergone, and how many supreme beings tragically died within Chaos Reincarnation."

"Everyone wants transcendence, but throughout the Eternal Universe, how many truly transcend?"

"In the previous Chaotic Universe, during the era when I attained my Dao, I witnessed firsthand its destruction; twelve supreme beings existed, only I survived as a living dead, hiding in the River of Fate."

As she spoke, the ’Heartless One’ paused, gazed at Ye Xuan, and continued: "You wanted to know what taboo means, right?"

"Today, I will tell you; a so-called taboo is a wrong path, a detour chosen begrudgingly."

"The Nine Heavenly Gates, known by all spirits, are a fractured path. The true techniques should be the Twelve Heavenly Gates, and in the previous Chaotic Universe, I only opened the Nine Heavenly Gates."

"Until the Chaotic Universe’s destruction, I comprehended the Twelve Heavenly Gates law at the final moment, but it was too late; I was destroyed, becoming a dead man, though my True Spirit remained."

"Reconstructing the body, destroying cultivation, re-cultivating the Twelve Heavenly Gates; but I remain a dead man. Despite cultivating the Twelve Heavenly Gates, and surpassing the realm, it is merely a detour, thus becoming what you call a taboo person."

The ’Heartless One’ revealed much, illuminating the origins of taboo individuals to Ye Xuan, leaving him utterly stunned.

"No matter your unmatched elegance, no matter you transcend the Eternal era, at the ultimate end of the Chaotic Universe, without opening that door, everyone is merely a speck of dust."

"In the Eternal Universe, there are countless dazzling talents, everyone wishes to avoid death, but as each Chaotic Universe falls, how many truly survive?" murmured ’Heartless One’ heavily with a sigh.

"So, from the Chaos and Time Rivers, they are survivors from even older Chaotic Universes?" Ye Xuan asked.

"Indeed!"

The ’Heartless One’ nodded gently, "Since becoming a taboo, I can feel their existence, and they can sense mine. These two guys, once the Lords of Chaos and Space-Time, who knows how many Chaotic Universes have lived through."

"Each Chaotic Universe marks a so-called era; for each universal destruction and reincarnation, surviving is miraculous, more so are countless Chaotic Universes where no beings survive." explained the ’Heartless One’ heavily.

"Why does the Chaotic Universe undergo destruction and reincarnation, what does this entail?" Ye Xuan questioned his inner doubts.

"Ha!"

The ’Heartless One’ smirked with bitter laughter, "Heaven nurtures beings for humanity, but humans have nothing to repay heaven. Every being exploits the Chaotic Universe’s resources, constantly cultivating and growing to rival the Chaotic Universe."

"We are akin to parasites within the Chaotic Universe, able to threaten it, so every Twelve Primordial Meetings, the Chaotic Universe undergoes destruction and reincarnation, obliterating all threats to nurture itself, then opens a new Chaotic Universe. This constitutes the Chaos Reincarnation notion."

Listening to the ’Heartless One,’ Ye Xuan couldn’t regain composure for a long time, as he had learned numerous earth-shattering secrets today.

"Daoist, I wish to ask you one more thing!"

Ye Xuan hesitated for three breaths, finally uttering this.

"I’ve told you everything necessary, feel free to ask." replied the ’Heartless One.’

"Beyond taboo, is there a taboo within taboo, what kind of existence would that be?" Ye Xuan asked gravely.
