What kind of person is the Master?
Of course, someone from ancient times a thousand years ago.
Indeed, Yuan Qingqing herself has never seen the Master, nor have her ancestors, who only listened to the teachings from those purple bubbles.
Thus, in the streets there are many speculations about the Master, some say he is a lewd imp, some say he is a smelly old man, some say he is a gentle big sister, and some say he is just a cat.
But according to the textbook, the Master is the leader of the Mo Family, and Mo Mountain was originally built by Mo Family prisoners exiled by the court, so the master of Mo Mountain is naturally filled by each generation’s Master of the Mo Family.
However, it is well known that nowadays the titles of Master and Mountain Master have been separated. Even the current Mountain Master only claims to be a disciple of the Mo Family, a grand-disciple of the Master.
And the title of Master is specifically used to refer to the one who has united with time and space, currently leading a group of Taoist Ancestors and Lords to the doomsday battlefield, saving the world, and occasionally coming up with a curious idea to publish a paper in university, known as the Final Master, the Doomsday Master, the Last Master.
Yes, indeed, in Yuan Qingqing’s hometown, just beyond the gate, the great doomsday battle is ongoing.
The Master and numerous Taoist Ancestors from All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds are fighting against the ultimate beast, the Chaos Demon Ancestor that devours all, striving to prevent the world’s destruction. This battle is so fierce that the heavens are collapsing, the sky rivers are shattered, meteor showers fall, the turning of stars and the chaos of time distort even light.
Yuan Qingqing and other young Mo Mountain People grew up amidst the world’s destruction. Moreover, it should be noted that this is not just the extinction of humans, but a true annihilation on a cosmic scale.
This battlefield is so extravagant that it’s beyond imagination, with Mo Mountain People only able to gaze at the deep space in the endless night, observing the star sky and witnessing not just Mo Mountain, Earth, or the Solar System, but collisions and tearing on a scale of at least the entire Milky Way.
Each night, as it arrives, yesterday’s star sky is gone, stars in the sky are extinguished like lights being turned off, vanishing piece by piece, leaving the entire city in eternal silence, with only your household’s lonely lamp remaining bright.
In the Master’s words, it’s as if the entire Orion Arm is burning, and 30 billion Suns, after their radiant emissions, fall into eternal darkness, with C-rays shimmering near the Gate of Tangoiser in the darkness. Until all these past lights finally disappear in time, like tears fading in the universe, the doomsday moment is upon us.
Yes, as everyone knows, the sunlight visible to the naked eye is from eight minutes ago, so the destruction presented to them has in fact already occurred, past events that are an established fact. For Yuan Qingqing’s generation, the world no longer has a ’future,’ only the doomsday that may arrive at any moment.
So if not for the Master holding the doomsday at bay, perhaps in the blink of an eye, no, with frame drops, your world, your life, your endeavors, your dreams, would vanish like bubbles in the clouds.
Thus, human or not, Righteous Path or Demon Path, everything in the world seems meaningless. Tens of thousands of people were once plunged into despair, unable to extricate themselves.
Therefore, to boost morale, the Master occasionally sends a message back, expressing, "I’m still alive, so stay calm at the rear, and do something meaningful, like attaining enlightenment or offering assistance."
Of course, the Master is still front-line fighting, so he doesn’t have time to return to Mo Mountain to lecture, only able to occasionally teach online, tossing a bunch of bubbles to share the latest truths he’s realized about the universe and time or the dying wishes and legacies his front-line teammates entrusted him with, hoping to nurture a few more Taoist Ancestor reinforcements to help...
But even such bubbles are rare these days, and it’s unclear whether it’s because the Master has writer’s block recently, or he is close to team wipeout due to the Chaos, with no time for chat, as even the university students have not heard the Master’s teachings for years.
Thus, in that world, almost everyone has given up, leaving only Mo Mountain People who adhere to unwavering faith in the Master, following the bubbles’ guidance to construct gates for crossing into Otherworld, risking their lives.
So, because the Master is still holding on at the front, and because Mo Mountain People have not given up, finally, five hundred years ago, the gate truly opened.
And the great escape began.
Well, actually it wasn’t on a large scale, as the opportunity to open the Void Moon gate comes only once each night, allowing only one person to cross.
Thus, over five hundred years, only 180,000 have escaped.
Yes, from the gate’s perspective, just 180,000 out of tens of billions.
Of course, the most talented, the strongest fighters, almost all came first.
Thus, until five hundred years later, placing behind the 180,000, although not skilled in combat but diligent in study and memory, having completed the Mo Mountain intermediate education and obtained eighteen universals, qualified for university, being one out of 10 billion, Yuan Qingqing finally was selected to cross the gate, embarking on her journey to the Different World.
Therefore, Yuan Qingqing truly is not dim-witted, especially since Tie Dan is personally watching over her, line by line unsealing the Sword Array, mastering the Extreme Crown Barrier being nothing too difficult.
