My disciples are all villains.

The cultivators in the Sacred Region cheered excitedly. At this moment, they had forgotten their exhaustion and the blood on their bodies. When they looked at Ming Xin, who was continuously absorbing power from the ten pillars of light, it was as though they had seen hope. They thought they were witnessing the birth of a god who could control everything.

Ming Xin seemed to have succeeded. The Towers of Heaven continued to send power into his body. He grew stronger and stronger, becoming unprecedentedly powerful. With You Ying’s help, he managed to persist until the last moment.

Ming Xin was extremely excited at this moment. He was even more excited than when he became the Temple Master of the Sacred Temple when he thought about how the ability to control everything was right at his fingertips.

However…

From the projection, Si Wuya raised his head and said, “Ming Xin, it’s time to end this.”

Following that, the four divine emperors appeared in four different directions.

Ming Xin looked at the four divine emperors disdainfully and said, “You think you can end this with only the help of these four people?”

“There’s also me.”

A figure appeared in the distant sky.

“Black Emperor?”

Zhi Guangji, the Black Emperor, flew over and hovered in the air. He said, “How can I not participate in such a lively event?”

Ming Xin did not think much of this. He calmly said with a hint of disapproval, “Have you never wondered why I didn’t get rid of all of you back then?” He paused for a moment before he continued to say, “It’s because the strong don’t care about the ants on the ground.”

Boom!

At this time, the Sacred Region suddenly shook, causing the ten Pillars of Light to sway.

“Time’s up,” Si Wuya said. Then, he leaned down and placed his palm against the humongous golden lotus under his feet. Unexpectedly, the lotus disappeared.

Ming Xin frowned. “Hmm?”

“I’ve already told you that you’ll definitely fail, but you don’t believe me…” Si Wuya said before he asked, “Do you still remember the commanders’ competition?”

Ming Xin looked at the Pillar of Light that bound Si Wuya. He was stunned when he discovered that it had stopped transmitting the power of the laws.

Si Wuya continued to say, “During the commanders’ competition, I gave everyone a piece of paper. Your Majesty, you saw the content on the paper as well.”

Ming Xin naturally could tell that something was amiss. He said, “Isn’t it just a list of which halls the ten of you should go, in accordance with the pillars that acknowledged you, to comprehend the Great Dao? What are you trying to say?”

“Eldest Senior Brother obtained the recognition of the pillar at Dunzang, but he went to Yan Feng Hall,” Si Wuya said, “Second Senior Brother was recognized by the pillar at Huantan, but he went to Xuan Meng Hall. Fourth Senior Brother was recognized by the pillar at Yu Zhong that corresponded to Tu Wei Hall, but I went to Tu Wei Hall…”

“…”

Ming Xin did not understand what Si Wuya was getting at. He only thought that Si Wuya’s words were chaotic and confusing.

Even Lu Zhou and the five divine emperors were confused.

“What are you talking about?” Ming Xin asked. Then, to confirm that nothing was wrong, he extended his hand, and the power of the laws from the pillars of light converged above his hand, forming a ball of light. As long as he could control the laws, everything else did not matter.

Si Wuya did not expect anyone to understand him. He said, “The Great Void of the past was too vast so it could not be clearly seen. However, the Sacred Region isn’t that big. Please take a look.”

Curiosity made them put the battle aside, and all of them looked down at the Sacred Region at the same time.

They looked at the ten pillars of light that were connected to the Sacred Region through the Towers of Heaven. After a moment, they made a shocking discovery; the Sacred Region was slowly rotating.

“The Sacred Region is rotating?” Bai Zhaoju exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s right,” Si Wuya said, “In fact, the Great Void and the Unknown Land were also rotating in the past. A long time ago, I was curious. Humans share the same sun, and the place where the sun rises is in the east. Why were the Great Void and the Unknown Land so different from the nine domains? For this reason, I studied the nine domains and confirmed that their rotation is like that of a sundial.”

After a beat, Si Wuya continued to say, “The rotation of the Great Void was not synchronized with the rotation of the earth. For this reason, every once in a while, the Pillars of Destruction would crack and boulders would fall. Similarly, it’s also the reason why the earth would crack every once in a while, and when there were enough cracks, the land would split. Due to the rotations being out of sync, the pillars that corresponded to the ten halls and their upper cores were constantly changing…”

Si Wuya looked at Ming Xin, and his tone darkened as he said, “So… The laws that the Towers of Heaven obtained are all wrong.”

After Si Wuya finished speaking, Ming Xin felt as though someone was stabbing his heart with a needle. It was extremely painful. He found it hard to accept and hard to believe.

Lu Zhou and the five divine emperors looked at the Sacred Region again, curious and confused.

Although Lu Zhou had knowledge about the blue planet’s rotation around its axis, he still found it difficult to understand this kind of clock-like rotation.

After taking a deep breath, Bai Zhaoju suddenly asked, “What exactly are the shackles?”

Si Wuya did not answer the question. Instead, he opened his hand, and a lotus appeared above his palm.

The lotus had nine leaves, and it rose into the air before it slowly rotated.

Si Wuya’s hand shone with light, rippling like the water. When he clenched it, the light churned like a whirlpool.

At this moment, Ming Xin’s expression was exactly the same as Lu Zhou’s expression in the space without laws.

Ming Xin retreated into the distance.

Si Wuya said, “I know you won’t believe it because you’ve obtained the power of the laws. However, theSacred Region won’t be able to exist.” His voice was deep as he said, “The time has come. The disordered laws and the out-of-sync rotations won’t be able to support the Sacred Region or construct a new world with new laws.”

As soon as Si Wuya’s voice fell…

Crack!

A crack appeared at the center of the Sacred Region and spread like a net immediately.

The cultivators in the Sacred Region panicked when they saw the net under their feet. There was nothing they could do as they were pulled into the cracks and died unnatural deaths. Due to the disordered laws, they weren’t able to fly or mobilize their Primal Qi.
