Chapter 1061, One Wounded by Love

Translator: Silavin

 

Naturally, Lu Fan also entered Ye Wuxian’s World of Consciousness, intending to assist her in claiming the Divine Seat.

 

However, after entering Ye Wuxian’s World of Consciousness, when the Calamity Ancient God’s form manifested, it surprisingly offered minimal resistance to Lu Fan’s attempt to seize its Divine Seat.

 

The Calamity Ancient God’s form initially appeared as a mass of flames.

 

Then, perhaps because it noticed that both Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian were Human, it transformed into Human Form as well.

 

As the saying goes, appearance reflects the heart. Being an Ancient God, although the Calamity Ancient God could assume any Human appearance at Will, its chosen image often revealed its character.

 

What it manifested was a frail man who appeared honest, harmless, and utterly non-threatening.

 

In fact, looking at him, he even resembled an inexperienced youth, his face full of innocence.

 

Lu Fan certainly wouldn’t be deceived by such an appearance. In his eyes, regardless of its external form, it was still an Ancient God.

 

And Ancient Gods represented danger.

 

Furthermore, having just engaged in a battle of wits with the Purgatory Overlord, Lu Fan was naturally even more cautious and vigilant toward it.

 

However, facts proved that Lu Fan had been overthinking things.

 

After transforming into Human Form, it launched no attacks against him or Ye Wuxian. Instead, it sat down in the void, wanting to have a proper conversation with Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian.

 

Lu Fan did not act rashly. Like a friend, he sat down and genuinely conversed with this Ancient God for quite some time.

 

Through this conversation, Lu Fan indeed gained a profound understanding of this Ancient God.

 

How had this one managed to remain a High Tier Ancient God for so long!?

 

The content of their three-way conversation revolved around nothing more than the word ‘love’.

 

The Calamity Ancient God recounted to Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian its love stories spanning several eras, from when it was not yet an Ancient God and fell in love with another Ancient God, willingly becoming its servant.

 

Later, that Ancient God, recognizing its loyalty, helped it seize an Ancient God position.

 

Originally, the Calamity Ancient God believed that this would allow it to remain with its beloved forever.

 

However, at the beginning of the second era, that Ancient God was slain by another Ancient God who seized its Divine Seat, making it impossible for them to ever reunite.

 

For this, it remained heartbroken for two full eras before finally erasing that inner pain.

 

During the third era, it emerged early and, like ordinary people of that era, lived, worked, and sought true love.

 

Ultimately, it actually found true love.

 

Originally, it wanted to share its Ancient God Power with this second beloved. However, when it used its Ancient God Power to probe the other’s heart, it discovered that their love for it was not genuine.

 

The other person already had a lover but, due to various reasons, couldn’t be together with them.

 

Therefore, the other person treated the Calamity Ancient God as a substitute.

 

The Calamity Ancient God naturally could not accept this outcome, so…

 

It killed both this lover and her true beloved, then participated in the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy.

 

That era, it naturally did not become a God King.

 

However, it did become a High Tier Ancient God because of this, which highlighted just how powerful its Ancient God Power was. Even after wasting so much time on romance, it could still overpower other Ancient Gods and become a High Tier Ancient God.

 

After its long slumber following the third era, the Calamity Ancient God continued to emerge early, seeking true love.

 

This time, it found a girl as pure as a blank sheet of paper, intending to pursue an innocent, flawless romance.

 

The process was indeed pleasant. It devoted itself completely to that girl, even transforming into a supreme powerhouse, establishing an empire where the Sun never set, making that girl an existence above all others.

 

However, under its excessive indulgence, this girl became spoiled, willful, and increasingly detestable. She even learned that the Calamity Ancient God possessed a Divine Seat and demanded it transfer the Divine Seat to her so she could become an Ancient God.

 

As for what would happen to the Calamity Ancient God after losing its Divine Seat, she did not care at all.

 

This left the Calamity Ancient God heartbroken, realizing this woman did not actually love it, but only loved everything it gave her.

 

Thus, it killed this girl as well, incidentally destroying the world and prematurely initiating the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy.

 

Because it forcibly awakened many Ancient Gods, this unsportsmanlike behaviour angered numerous Ancient Gods, who joined forces to eliminate it, making it a common enemy among Ancient Gods.

 

For the following two eras, it continued seeking true love, but unfortunately, various problems consistently led to disappointment in romance.

 

Simultaneously, because its behaviour was extremely outrageous, its reputation among Ancient Gods was terrible.

 

During each Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy, it was targeted most severely.

 

Yet this Calamity Ancient God was truly formidable. Even when frequently targeted, whenever the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy concluded, it always managed to become a High Tier Ancient God.

 

Although it ranked one of the last among High Tier Ancient Gods, this still demonstrated its strength.

 

If it could focus entirely on the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy, competing for the God King position would actually be feasible.

 

Thus, in every era, its actions remained essentially identical.

 

Emerging early, seeking true love, failing, going mad, dragging out other Ancient Gods to torment them, then getting beaten down by said Ancient Gods.

 

It must be said, this Calamity Ancient God’s experiences truly left even Lu Fan speechless with exasperation.

 

This current world followed the same pattern as before.

 

However, the difference was that this time it encountered the Purgatory Overlord, this black hearted vixen. Not only did it fail to find true love, but it was also trapped here by her, unable to live yet unable to die.

 

This world was absolutely its most stifled, most painful era.

 

Therefore, when it saw Lu Fan arriving to seize its Divine Seat, it actually felt relieved.

 

Firstly, it no longer had to serve as the Purgatory Overlord’s nourishment, being continuously exploited.

 

Secondly, it had now become completely disillusioned with love.

 

Rather than emerging early in every world, seeking so-called true love only to be deceived repeatedly, it might as well achieve liberation and no longer pursue eternal life.

 

Therefore, Lu Fan coming to seize its Divine Seat met no resistance from it.

 

After finishing its story, it smiled faintly, appearing like a pitiful Soul wounded countless times by love.

 

“Love is something I’ve pursued for several eras. I became an Ancient God with no other ambitions. I only want to find a beloved who could remain with me forever. Yet after all this time, I’ve never once found such a person. Ending it here is actually good enough for me. I’m truly exhausted. I do not wish to search for another era. If you want my Divine Seat, take it.”
