Cultivation Online-Novel

Chapter 952 - On the Verge of Destruction

After returning home, Yuan gathered everyone in the faction to let them know the truth about Cultivation Online.

"What I am about to say is very shocking, and you might even not believe me, but trust me, it's real."

"First and foremost, Cultivation Online— the Nine Heavens is real, and our world used to be part of it. The Nine Heavens was known as Divine Heaven before, but something happened, causing it to split into many different pieces."

"The nine largest parts of Divine Heaven became known as the Nine Heavens."

"Earth was too small and had drifted too far away to join the Nine Heavens, so we became our own world."

"However, because of the separation, Earth isn't in a good condition. Hell, you can even say that it's on the verge of destruction."

"What?!" Everyone there exclaimed in a shocked voice.

"Yes, even now, the world is on the verge of collapsing on itself. The only reason it's not is because of the Lord— the Lord of the Dragon Spiral Mountain."

"He's keeping this world safe with a powerful formation that surrounds this world. Oh, you should know that the Lord is not human. He's actually a Divine Beast."

"W-Wait, wait, wait! Let me digest a little before you continue." Wang Ming suddenly said.

"So let me get this straight. This world used to exist in the Nine Heavens before it got split into many parts, and it's now on the verge of destruction. However, thanks to the Lord of the Dragon Spiral Mountain, who is not human, the world is safe. Is that it?"

"Yes, that's right." Yuan calmly nodded.

"Holy shit… I can't believe it… I mean, I believe you, but I am having trouble believing it…"

"How long do you think the Lord will continue protecting this world?" Shi Lang suddenly asked.

"If he suddenly decides to give up, or he can no longer support this world, won't that mean the end of the world for us?"

"According to him, he's been protecting this world ever since Earth was separated from the Nine Heavens. That's at least a few million years." Yuan said.

And he continued, "I don't know how long he can continue protecting us, but I doubt it will be forever. I will ask him the next time we meet."

"Is there anything we can do? I don't like the feeling of entrusting the entire human race to one person. Like Shi Lang had mentioned, this Lord could suddenly give up and destroy the world."

Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking, "I'm just speculating, but perhaps the seal can be passed onto another person. If I become strong enough, I might be able to bear this seal and keep this world safe. With that being said, I will need to seriously increase my cultivation before that can happen."

"There's another thing we can do… We can all move to the Nine Heavens and live there instead. I was going to mention this next, but we can travel to the Nine Heavens from here. The Dragon Spiral Mountain is a gateway to the Nine Heavens, but we need to activate the gate from both sides before we can travel there."

"Basically, we will be abandoning Earth, right?" Wang Bingbing said.

"Basically." Yuan nodded.

"Honestly, there's nothing we can do right but trust the Lord that he will not destroy the world. In the meantime, I will try to see if there is anything I can do to prevent this world from getting destroyed in the future."

Sometime later, Yuan continued their conversation.

"Let's talk about Cultivation Online now. The console that we've all been using has two different formations hidden within. The Soul Transference Array and the Soul Avatar Array."

"Essentially, these arrays transfer a part of our soul to the Nine Heavens, and using our soul, it creates our character, allowing us to visit the Nine Heavens without actually going there."

"However, there's the thing. Because our character is our soul, any damages done to our character can actually harm our real bodies. I hope none of you have died in Cultivation Online."

Everyone there exchanged shocked looks with each other.

"I haven't died yet."

"Me neither."

Yuan sighed in relief after hearing that nobody in the faction has died in Cultivation Online.

"Now that we all know our characters are created using our souls, we should be extra careful with ourselves and try to not get hurt as much as possible, just in case."

Yuan turned to face Li Jinxi and continued, "Especially you, Jinxi. Out of everyone here, I worry about you the most. You're the type to go overboard and get too excited very quickly."

"Getting your soul damaged is nothing like hurting your physical body. If your soul is damaged, you could easily become braindead."

Everyone there trembled after hearing such words.

"Now that you mention it… There are rumors of players who have suddenly become brain dead after dying too many times in Cultivation Online." Wu Zao suddenly said.Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

"I will verify that information later."

"Hey, if it's actually this dangerous to play Cultivation Online, shouldn't we warn the others and make this information public?" Xi Murong suddenly asked.

"I don't think anyone would believe us even if we tried to warn them…" Wang Bingbing sighed.

"Right? They'll probably think we're crazy or something." Chu Liuxiang agreed.

"We won't say anything to the public for now. Cultivation Online was created by the Celestial Emperor, who is the ruler of the Nine Heavens, and not even the Lord knows his purpose for creating Cultivation Online. Also, the Celestial Emperor willingly put all of our lives at risk for his own goals. I don't care what his intentions are, but he's playing with our lives, nor does he seem to care about the consequences." Yuan said with gritted teeth.

"And I will not let anyone play with our lives— not even if he's the Celestial Emperor!"

Everyone there swallowed nervously after hearing his words that sounded like a declaration of war to the Celestial Emperor.
