Chapter 1062, I Suppose I’m the Calamity Ancient God Now

Translator: Silavin

 

After speaking, it glanced at both Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian, smiling faintly. “You two are also a couple, aren’t you? You already possess a Divine Seat yourself, yet you’re willing to fight me for her sake and take my Divine Seat. It was dangerous for you. If things go poorly, you yourself could face mortal peril. Generally, seizing another Ancient God’s Divine Seat is done to select allies for the current era. But looking at you two, you don’t seem like allies. Rather, you seem like a couple. I believe I’m not mistaken, am I?”

 

At these words, Ye Wuxian’s face immediately flushed red.

 

Lu Fan smiled without refuting. “You may consider it as such.”

 

“Hehe, I understand.” The Calamity Ancient God also laughed.

 

Having pursued true love across several eras, it understood matters between men and women far too well.

 

Through mere moments of interaction, it could discern that romantic feelings were indeed budding between Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian, though neither had yet pierced through that thin veil separating them.

 

This phase, simultaneously ambiguous and affectionate, could be considered the most delicate and blissful stage when falling in love.

 

Exposing them now would actually ruin their moment.

 

Therefore, the Calamity Ancient God did not probe further on this topic, merely saying, “Regardless, just because I couldn’t obtain something doesn’t mean I believe it doesn’t exist. I believe true love exists in this world. I was simply too unlucky to ever encounter it. I hope you’re more fortunate than I was and can meet the right person.”

 

“Alright. I won’t say more.” Speaking thus, it smiled with resignation. “Truth be told, I don’t actually know what happens to an Ancient God after its Divine Seat is stripped away. What death actually means. Perhaps I’ll forget everything and become part of those countless beings. I hope it’s so. That way, I can forget the past entirely and still harbour hope for love, continuing to pursue it.”

 

Lu Fan could not help but laugh. “You’re truly obsessed with love.”

 

“Of course. After all, aside from this, I genuinely can’t think of any other reason for existing in this world.” The Calamity Ancient God smiled and closed its eyes. “Do it.”

 

Lu Fan nodded and summoned Ye Sha.

 

This Calamity Ancient God left a rather favourable impression on him. If all Ancient Gods in the world could be like this one, Lu Fan would not actually need to ruthlessly eradicate them all.

 

In truth, leaving this Calamity Ancient God to continue wandering this world, or not seizing its Divine Seat and letting it slumber until the next era, would both be acceptable options.

 

However, Lu Fan also understood he could not indulge in such mercy.

 

The other party’s words ultimately could not be fully trusted.

 

For the sake of this world, Lu Fan could not leave behind any unreliable Ancient God.

 

If fabricating a story could make him abandon his intention to seize the Divine Seat, he would be far too easily deceived.

 

Therefore, he absolutely had to strip away its Divine Seat.

 

And if the other party was truly as it claimed, Lu Fan held considerable respect for this Ancient God.

 

So, if he had to kill it, Lu Fan did not intend to prolong the process.

 

Although this was a World of Consciousness, pain still existed.

 

Therefore, he would use the fastest method to send off this Ancient God.

 

The fastest method was naturally Ye Sha’s Skill.

 

Ye Sha’s Skills had extremely High Burst Damage. As long as the opponent did not Defend, a single Skill landing at both a Weak Point, and as a Critical Hit, could achieve an instant kill.

 

Reality confirmed this.

 

The Calamity Ancient God willingly embraced death. Under one of Ye Sha’s Skills, it was directly eliminated. Its Divine Seat was extracted and bestowed upon Ye Wuxian by Lu Fan.

 

Although Ye Wuxian obtained the Divine Seat, she was not particularly excited.

 

The Calamity Ancient God’s death also filled her with regret.

 

At the end, the Calamity Ancient God offered no struggle or resistance. It virtually confirmed that everything it said was truthful.

 

However, it could only prove itself through death, demonstrating it had not schemed against Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian.

 

And once it died, the matter became irreversible.

 

This was unavoidable. If there truly were another way to prove its words were genuine, that it had no significant interest in destroying this era, whether Lu Fan killed it or not would fundamentally not matter.

 

Unfortunately, Lu Fan had no method to verify this.

 

This Calamity Ancient God possessed power transcending all beings, yet existed solely to seek true love. Among Ancient Gods, it was truly an oddity.

 

Most regrettably, to the very end, it never found its soulmate.

 

Ye Wuxian, being a woman, was far more sensitive to matters of love than men. Therefore, she felt even more regret than Lu Fan for this Calamity Ancient God, naturally unable to rejoice over the Divine Seat she had obtained.

 

Soon, both Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian emerged from the World of Consciousness.

 

Seeing Ye Wuxian sigh, Lu Fan smiled and consoled her. “Alright, there’s no need to feel sentimental over an Ancient God. Ultimately, it’s just one person’s story. Even if this story continued across several eras without a favourable conclusion, it’s still just a story. What you and I must do is focus on the immediate matters.”

 

Ye Wuxian recovered and nodded at Lu Fan with a smile. “En, you’re right. If this era is destroyed, wouldn’t you and I be more miserable than the Calamity Ancient God?”

 

“Oh, right. From now on, I suppose I’m the Calamity Ancient God now?”

 

“Yeah, you are the Calamity Ancient God.” Lu Fan smiled. “By the way, I previously explained its Ancient God Power characteristics to you. You can try to see if you can flexibly utilize it.”

 

“En.” Ye Wuxian nodded, then extended her hand.

 

Immediately, a Fire Emblem manifested.

 

This was her Battle Mage Skill. Using Fire Emblems, she could Defend and Attack, wielding it with considerable flexibility.

 

The flame’s shape remained identical to before, but the fire composing it was vastly different.

 

This flame was constructed from Ancient God Power. It appeared utterly ordinary but could be called the superior force to all other powers, capable of incinerating any ability into nothingness until it vanished completely.

 

Lu Fan even produced a piece of equipment and had Ye Wuxian bring the Fire Emblem close to it.

 

Without Ye Wuxian needing to release any Skill or Attack, the equipment immediately dissolved into nothing, destroyed on the spot.

 

The potency of this Ancient God Power astonished even Ye Wuxian herself.
