"Have you decided yet? If you don’t speak, I might have to take action!"
The dark-robed man waited for a while and said coldly.
"Don’t take action!"
Luo Hou was startled and cautiously reported, "Senior, I know information about the Dao Manuscript. Can I trade my life for it?"
Dao Manuscript!
Upon hearing these two words, a flash of inexplicable light appeared in the dark-robed man’s eyes.
The identity of this dark-robed man was not simple; he was the divine master of the Dark Holy Temple, stationed at the center of the temple, one of the most powerful figures in the endless universe.
But a few days ago, a sage suddenly visited him and told him a piece of news that could change the fate of the Dark Holy Temple.
And this sage is known as the strongest wise man, scholar, and holy star master of the Dark Holy Temple!
In the Dark Holy Temple, the sage’s position is only below his.
Even he, when encountering problems he cannot decide, will consult the sage’s advice. Several crises in the Dark Holy Temple were overcome with the sage’s help.
Returning to the topic.
Upon hearing the news provided by the sage, the dark master did not hesitate and immediately set out, arriving at the current universe, quietly waiting for a destined person.
"A single Dao Manuscript can’t save your life!"
The dark master suppressed his excitement and said plainly.
"Not just one volume!"
Luo Hou’s eyes showed a hint of murderous intent and hatred as he said coldly, "Five volumes! In the hands of Qin Wudao, the master of the Qin Dynasty, there are five volumes of Dao Manuscript!"
With these words.
The dark master could no longer keep calm, revealing a hint of excitement in his eyes, he quickly asked, "Are you certain?"
"Certain!"
Luo Hou nodded, said solemnly, "That Qin Wudao is inside the Azure Cloud Sect. As long as senior captures him, you can obtain five volumes of Dao Manuscript!"
Five volumes!
He still doesn’t know that Qin Wudao acquired the Dao Manuscript’s molding-volume at the Sky Abyss Sacred Cliff!
The dark master closed his eyes.
The hands hidden within the robe lightly trembled.
It was excitement!
A hundred billion years!
He had finally found the trace of the remaining Dao Manuscripts!
"Maybe... the fate of the Dark Holy Temple is truly going to change. The kingdom established by the master of the Dao Manuscript will ultimately be replaced by us, who dwell in darkness!"
After a long time, the dark master opened his eyes, looked around the galaxy, and murmured to himself.
"What’s your name?"
The dark master looked down at Luo Hou and asked.
"Replying to senior, my name is Luo Hou!"
Luo Hou answered.
"Luo Hou?"
"An interesting name!"
The dark master recited it twice, feeling a sense of inexplicable connection, as if the two words "Luo Hou" held a special causality, capable of changing the configuration of the endless universe.
With this thought, the dark master couldn’t help but scrutinize Luo Hou.
Peak of the Creation Realm!
The cultivation is not very high!
But the fortune aura surrounding him is exceptionally thick!
"Are you willing to become my disciple?" the dark master asked.
Luo Hou was stunned, then his face lit up with joy.
A glimmer of hope!
He had already prepared to meet his end!
Little did he expect to become the disciple of a peerless master!
"Greetings, master!"
Without hesitation, Luo Hou knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the dark master.
"Rise!"
On the cold face of the dark master appeared a slight smile; accepting a disciple with abundant fortune was a good thing for him.
The bond between teacher and disciple!
One of the most steadfast relationships in the world!
Luo Hou taking him as the master allowed him to share in Luo Hou’s fortune, thereby increasing his own fortune and acquiring various opportunities, advancing further on the martial path.
However, the dark master failed to notice that behind Luo Hou’s abundant fortune lay endless misfortune.
Luo Hou’s life.
Apart from brief prestige, at other times, he was extraordinarily unfortunate; either beaten or on the path to being beaten, or busy escaping for his life.
Yet he always managed to survive!
After the dark master accepted Luo Hou as his disciple, his own misfortune increased considerably.
"Disciple, I am the divine master of the Dark Holy Temple. By accepting me as your master, from now on, you will be the young divine master of the Dark Holy Temple, bearing the responsibility of destroying the endless universe!"
The dark master introduced himself.
Destroying the universe.
Luo Hou was taken aback and hesitated, then asked somewhat confusedly, "Master, why destroy the universe? If the endless universe is destroyed, then we..."
He felt the world was a bit insane!
He had actually joined a force with the purpose of destroying the endless universe, a definite villain!
"Don’t worry, even if the endless universe is destroyed, we won’t come to harm; instead, we’ll be better off!"
The dark master continued, posing a profound question: "Disciple, do you know the universe can have life?"
Luo Hou was somewhat bewildered.
The universe has life?
I haven’t read much, don’t try to deceive me!
Seeing Luo Hou’s expression.
The dark master inwardly shook his head and said, "Disciple, you’d better read more books in the future!"
Luo Hou awkwardly scratched his head.
"Everything in this world possesses ’spirit.’ The master of the Dao Manuscript once said, in this world, there exists nothing without ’spirit.’ Based on this view, the reincarnation of life, stars, and the universe are all the reincarnation of ’spirit’!"
"The expansion of the endless universe is constant, but as time passes, ’spirit’ can increase without limit, becoming more numerous, until finally, surpassing the carrying limit of the endless universe!"
"At that time, the endless universe will erupt into an unprecedented catastrophe!"
The dark master spoke eloquently, like a scholar with extensive reading.
Luo Hou listened, even more befuddled.
"Looking further at secular dynasties, after they are born, usually the first generation is the strongest, through the second and third generations, they reach peak states!"
"Further on, due to various reasons, they decline until they are destroyed!"
"This is an eternal law!"
"The endless universe is no different!"
At this point, the dark master paused and said, "The endless universe has undergone three eras. The first era was the era of the master of the Dao Manuscript, who created martial civilization!"
"The second era saw the rise of powers such as the Dao Saint Temple, Immortal Treasure Pavilion, Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall, and Azure Cloud Sect, spreading martial arts, creating today’s splendid, brilliant, colorful civilization!"
"The third era, which is the present period, sees many forces begun to decline after their prosperity!"
"Within the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, two factions have emerged, and corruption is rampant..."
"Within the Dao Saint Temple, sectarianism is rampant, the order left by the master of the Dao Manuscript is teetering..."
"The entire endless universe is on the path to decline!"
"And we, the Dark Holy Temple, will be the savior of the endless universe. As long as we destroy the existing universe and create a new one, establishing an order that belongs to the Dark Holy Temple..."
"This order will uphold the highest interest of the universe, all living beings will follow the universe’s order, with birth, aging, illness, and death!"
"Only in this way can beings with ’spirit’ be controlled, preventing cosmic catastrophe from descending upon the endless universe..."
"The master of the Dao Manuscript is an idiot. He wanted to grant ’spirit’ eternal life without setting limits, the endless universe simply cannot persist for long before plunging into destruction..."
The dark master’s fervent voice echoed in the surrounding universe, lingering for a long time.
Luo Hou listened, stupefied.
Destroying the universe.
All for the universe’s benefit!
Having lived this long, it was the first time he heard such a theory.
Moreover...
Is everlasting life not good?
