Chapter 2214: Chapter 1088: My World! Emperor E Tian

Note: Most of the content in this Chapter depicts the Void Abyss world created by Emperor E Tian.

...

This is a monochrome world.

There is only one hue of darkness, the only difference being light black, deep black, gray...

It seems like a world of ink wash paintings, but not the ancient Chinese kind, rather an ink depiction of Impressionist artworks, filled with oddity and distortion.

The entire world is composed of surging dark energy, constantly twisting.

Lanling is sure that this world was once a tangled mess. It’s just that Emperor E Tian, based on his own memories, barely used these dark energies to construct a world somewhat in line with human impressions.

The entire Void Abyss is teeming with countless void creatures. Yet, these countless void creatures integrate into a whole.

At this moment, there is only one sound in Lanling’s ears.

Pain, torment...

Pain, torment...

The feeling is unbearable, the sound like a nightmare, yet like an infant, shrill and profound, and the same sound echoes in countless numbers at his ears, driving one mad.

At this moment, Lanling, even though truly entering the world of the Void Abyss, remains an independent energy form, not yet merged with the Void Abyss.

Now, he finally has a form. A dark nebula that can morph into any shape.

As a human, Lanling is, of course, not accustomed to this form, so he barely shifts into a human shape. However, this human is merely a dark silhouette, still twisting and changing, still resembling Van Gogh’s Impressionist paintings.

Pain, torment

Pain, torment

Only this sound exists in Lanling’s ears as he strolls through this twisted, ever-changing world of the Void Abyss.

Managed to see mountains, oceans, rivers, plains, and cities.

Lanling roamed around this bizarre world, gradually discovering a faint sense of familiarity; that is the familiarity with geographical features, vaguely... as if they were the geographical traits of the Demon Territory.

Yes, it definitely is! This is indeed an alternative Barbaric Wilderness.

Void creatures are everywhere, like a thick darkness fog, like endless thick ink; given enough time, these void creatures could be used to form any world model, including the Demon Race world.

Lanling can imagine the suffering when Emperor E Tian chose to sacrifice himself into the Void Abyss, only to be devoured by countless void creatures. To pass the endless time, he used these countless void creatures to reconstruct the Southern Barbaric Lands, like a sandcastle game, like painting an Impressionist three-dimensional artwork with ink.

Except this painting is over one to two hundred million square kilometers.

Every hill, every city, every river must be present.

Fortunately, Emperor E Tian was once the master of Yao Xing, possessing an incredibly powerful cerebral realm, able to remember the entire Demon Territory.

Also, fortunate he had infinite time, whole tens of thousands of years to create.

Yet, even so, it’s an immeasurable and excruciating piece of work.

Reproducing nearly two hundred million square kilometers of the world, recreating the homeland of his E’tian Empire within this Void Abyss like a three-dimensional artwork.

Because being devoured by void creatures is an intensely painful torment, he had to choose this way to forget time, just like prisoners in jail could read a hundred times over "Mao Zedong Quotations."

So, where is Emperor E Tian at this moment?

To be precise, Emperor E Tian is everywhere; his soul has fully merged with the void creatures, becoming their soul ruler.

"Emperor E Tian, Your Majesty!"

"Emperor E Tian, Your Majesty, I am your successor."

Lanling stood in one place, calling out loudly.

Instantly, countless void creatures rushed over like wind blowing dark fog, and then... there was no more.

Emperor E Tian had no reaction!

At this moment, the relationship between Lanling and Emperor E Tian was like that between a mite and a giant dinosaur, with the mite trying to make the dinosaur notice it at its tail is entirely impossible. Moreover, the scale between Lanling and Emperor E Tian was even more disproportionate than a mite and a dinosaur.

Because right now, Emperor E Tian might be the entire Demon Territory. And Lanling is merely a human being.

To find Emperor E Tian, one must go to the edge of the world he created, for if not mistaken, he is still creating worlds, still depicting three-dimensional worlds using void creatures.

Thus, perhaps he could be found at the edge of his world.

Then, is the edge of this world in the south or the north?

The north is the Human Kingdom, the south is the Heaven and Earth Barrier.

Instinctively, it should be the southern Heaven and Earth Barrier. Because, after the last explosion of the Heavenly Demon Tower, many void creatures emerged from the southern dimensional rift, spreading into the real world.

Yet Lanling speculates that Emperor E Tian should be to the north.

Why so?

If he were to the south, he could effectively control these void creatures, making it difficult for them to emerge from the southern rift since the proximity would allow Emperor E Tian to restrain them from overflowing.

Precisely because Emperor E Tian kept creating his remembered world to the north, being too far from the south, with too much time elapsed, his soul became numb, unable to suppress the northern void creatures, hence they are spilling out wildly.

In fact, looking closely, Lanling could notice that the void creatures of this world constantly drift towards the south, like a breeze blowing southward.

Judging from these factors, Emperor E Tian is likely in the north of the world.

Thus, Lanling flew northward along the world Emperor E Tian created.

Every mountain and river is entirely replicating the Demon Territory. Even if there are occasional differences, they are due to thousands of years of geographical changes.

Tens of thousands of years may be incredibly long for a human, but it is very brief for a planet. Therefore, despite tens of thousands of years passing, the geographical environment of the entire Demon Territory has not drastically changed.

Thus, the world before Lanling is indeed remarkably familiar.

Flying northwards for hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of miles...

Lanling infinitely admired the greatness, the agony, the prodigiousness of Emperor E Tian.

To prevent his will from collapsing and his soul from becoming numb, he continuously recreates the Demon Territory from his memories, using Void Creatures to reconstruct the world within his mind.

Every mountain, even every tree, is meticulously recreated.

This is akin to someone building a three-dimensional game world entirely with ink, and this world’s map spans over two hundred million square kilometers, encompassing not only the Southern Barbaric Lands but also the Northern Barbaric Lands.

In the Earth world’s computer games, how large can the biggest map be? A few hundred square kilometers at most, and that requires a plethora of models and textures.

Yet Emperor E Tian, over tens of thousands of years, constructed a three-dimensional world of several hundred million square kilometers.

...

Traversing mountains, forests, rivers, plains, cities...

He walked and flew through this world for so long.

Over time, Lanling surprisingly adapted to this world and began to forget the real world.

It felt as if the world was meant to be like this, akin to Van Gogh’s impressionist ink paintings, as if distorted was normal, in an all-mono world.

Continuing north, crossing the land of the fallen, entering the Northern Barbaric Lands.

Keep heading north, north, north...

At this time, the Northern Barbaric Lands weren’t the world of Emperor Moda, but still the empire of Emperor E Tian.

Continuing north for thousands, tens of thousands of miles...

Lanling saw an incredibly familiar city, Bloody Shore Lost City...

The entire intact Blood Case Lost City was displayed before Lanling with ink impressionist three-dimensional artwork.

Of course, at this point, Bloody Shore Lost City had already finished its great battle, and there were bodies and blood everywhere.

Lanling even saw the temple, and the dragon flames atop the temple.

Lanling continued north, north, north...

Finally, he arrived at the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The Ten Thousand Mountains created by Emperor E Tian based on his brain memories.

Here, the scenery created by the Void Creatures was no longer detailed and precise, but appeared somewhat sloppy.

Not because Emperor E Tian was unfamiliar with the Human Kingdom, but because his mind had gradually become numb and collapsed, and many memories began to blur and disintegrate.

After all, he had created a world of over two hundred million square kilometers.

Lanling continued north; here was already the Human Kingdom, of course the Human Kingdom that the E’tian Empire had invaded for the first time.

Smoke was everywhere; the ruins after the battle were everywhere; bodies were everywhere.

The further north he went, the more blurred the depicted three-dimensional world became.

Eight thousand miles into the Human Kingdom heading north, specific mountains, rivers, and cities were already indistinguishable, turned into chaotic splashed ink paintings.

Clearly, at this moment, Emperor E Tian had nearly gone mad, collapsed.

Thus, his creations had become a complete mess.

Lanling sped up, continued north, north, north...

The world behind had entirely turned into distorted magical paintings, completely unrecognizable, without even the outlines of mountains and cities.

Finally, Lanling reached the end of the world created by Emperor E Tian.

In front was a mass of void, a mass of void formed by surging Void Creatures, with no three-dimensional art.

Then, Lanling saw Emperor E Tian’s figure!

Like Lanling, also a silhouette formed by a mass of darkness, albeit more postmodern, more impressionist compared to Lanling.

At this moment, the silhouette of Emperor E Tian that Lanling saw was even more impressionist, more postmodern than the figure in Edvard Munch’s "The Scream."

Lanling recognized him by the twisted crown outline above his head as Emperor E Tian.

"Emperor E Tian!"

"Emperor E Tian!"

Lanling called out, but the other had no reaction, still using Void Creatures to depict a three-dimensional world, but already without an outline. Because by this point, Emperor E Tian’s soul had been tortured to collapse and disintegration by countless Void Creatures.

Lanling shouted at him, but received no response!

Lanling tried to push him, but still received no response!

Ultimately, helpless, Lanling had only one choice.

Activate the core three stars in his Soul Starry Sky.

"Whoosh!"

The core three stars in Lanling’s Soul Starry Sky suddenly brightened at once.

Instantly, the surrounding world vanished, returning to a realm of void. Because as soon as Lanling activates it, and the Soul Starry Sky emits light, then it leaves this plane.

But only for a moment before it dimmed again.

Everything around reverted to the plane world of the Void Abyss.

And in that moment...

Emperor E Tian suddenly jolted, waking up, as if awakening from a dream of tens of thousands of years.

Lanling bowed and said, "Your Majesty Emperor E Tian, I am your successor, Lanling, Lord of Yao Xing, your follower!"
