Chapter 594: Chapter 237: He Made This World Afraid

"Don’t worry, I’m fine."

Gu Lan knew these were just words of comfort. His brows were furrowed so tightly, how could he be fine? But this was an emergency, and there was no room for delay. She quickly asked:

"What should we do next?"

"Restore... the entire Southern Celestial Land."

Gu Lan’s face turned pale upon hearing this. "No! That’s not possible!"

"It’s okay, I’ll bear the cost."

"That’s exactly why it’s not okay!" Gu Lan hurriedly waved her hand, her body trembling slightly. "I can feel it, this is a very heavy price! Very... very!"

Fan Wubing said gloomily, "If this continues, it will only get more difficult."

"But..."

"Gu Lan."

Gu Lan shivered. It was the first time Fan Wubing directly called her by her name; he used to always include "Senior Sister" before.

"Trust me." Fan Wubing looked at her quietly, his pitch-black pupils like a bottomless abyss.

"You mustn’t get hurt!"

Gu Lan gritted her teeth and started to operate the Evolutionary Dao to restore the entire Southern Celestial Land, the areas corrupted by the Nether Demon Dao. The immense Dao machine surged forth from the rolling divine soul will.

Change began to reverse.

The cost of interfering with the trajectory of destiny came roaring in.

Fan Wubing’s blood bar was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This wasn’t just a loss of health points; it was a decrease in the maximum health points, his lifespan.

His young and vigorous body aged rapidly. Wrinkles crept over his skin, his temples gradually turned gray, and his bright eyes became cloudy.

Gu Lan, upon seeing this, her pupils contracted to the extreme.

Fan Wubing immediately said, "Don’t stop!"

Gu Lan had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue. She couldn’t understand why Junior Brother Wubing was willing to pay such a price... It was clear to her that this wasn’t only to find Lv Liang, but also to save the Southern Celestial Land ravaged by Lv Liang’s destruction.

Fan Wubing disregarded his own changes entirely, his divine soul like a radiance, his eyes like a beacon. At a certain moment, he said to Fu Manman, who was in the solar perspective,

"Man’Er, fix the Celestial South through my soul!"

Fu Manman understood Fan Wubing better than Gu Lan, so without any hesitation, she did exactly as he said.

The divine light of the sun filled the Southern Celestial Land.

The Seven Continents of the Celestial South felt like they had been paused; the original chaos, madness, and uproar vanished instantly, leaving only a quiet silence.

Fan Wubing had now become an elderly man in his eighties, with a head full of silver hair trembling.

"The Furnace of the Heart" was operating at its peak.

Now, he was the "Creator" of the entire Southern Celestial Land; everything was within his perception. However, this was at the cost of a full nine million vital blood points. The mysterious Destiny Dao mercilessly harvested the greater part of his vitality. Now his blood bar was at [212,000], a year’s worth of efforts lost.

In exchange, the Southern Celestial Land was restored, and all traces left by Lv Liang remained.

But he felt no regret,

because the fullness of the Lord of All Beings and the Bones of Time had not decreased with the loss of the blood bar! It was 1.86% before, and still 1.86% now!

The lost blood bar could always be recovered, but if the entire Southern Celestial Land completely lost control, then the situation in the Fallen Immortal Land would eventually be exposed. This was the real loss.

Fan Wubing gathered all the traces left by Lv Liang and activated the "Dead Fire Life Participation Technique," operating the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device.

"This time, it’s truly you!"

He called out, "Man’Er, follow my will and illuminate this place!"

The eternal divine light of the sun descended from the skies, falling behind him.

Fan Wubing turned to look, and sure enough, Lv Liang stood in the shadow behind him.

"You... were always in my shadow?" Fan Wubing asked, dumbfounded.

Lv Liang, with his hair down, had a gentle expression, his gaze soft. "Young Master Fan, we meet again."

"You... know it was me?" Fan Wubing had hidden his aura. Besides Gu Lan and Fu Manman, no one could recognize him.

Lv Liang smiled, "In front of me, no one can hide their secrets."

Fu Manman returned from the heavenly curtain, landed before Fan Wubing, saw his now aged appearance, and a hint of heartache flashed in her eyes. She then turned to Lv Liang, furrowing her brows, and asked,

"Why?"

Lv Liang’s brow fell slightly, "I’m sorry, Miss Fu. I’m not as good a person as you knew me to be."

Fu Manman asked, "So, were you just deceiving us all along?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Lv Liang seemed regretful, "Though you may not believe me, back then, I really enjoyed spending time with you all."

"If that’s the case, why choose such a path?" Fu Manman clenched her teeth, "To sacrifice the entire Celestial South, what exactly are you trying to achieve? Don’t you care about the lives of innocent people at all?"

Lv Liang looked skyward, "I’m a Demon Cultivator."

Fu Manman said coldly, "Then it seems we are destined to be enemies."

Lv Liang looked at her and asked, "Is a Demon Cultivator your enemy?"

"Demon Cultivators are the enemies of the world."

Lv Liang glanced at Fan Wubing, then said to Fu Manman, "Promise me, you will stay together."

Fu Manman paused slightly, not quite understanding what he meant, "What are you trying to say?"

Fan Wubing stopped Fu Manman, looked at Lv Liang, and asked, "You actually walked the Path of the Demon Lord long ago and became the Nether Demon Lord, didn’t you?"

Lv Liang nodded, "Five years ago, I was already the Nether Demon Lord." As the Nether Demon Lord, if he wanted to hide, almost no one would know of his existence. So, even though he had become the Nether Demon Lord long ago, no one knew.

Fan Wubing asked again, "Why did you meticulously weave all of this together, for what purpose?"
