<h4>Chapter 829: Ecang as His Clone (4)</h4>


    When Su Ming''s soul upied half of the golden venous pathways and he saw the scene that caused his heart to tremble, thetter half of the divine thought that the bald crane had sent to him with all its remaining strength before it fainted reached his heart.


    "… You have to remember to give me my crystals… because I might have fainted, but I held back that thrice cursed Ecang… for some time. I don''t know how long I''ll be able to confuse it, so you''ll have to be fast…"


    As the bald crane''s divine thoughtpletely disappeared, Ecang''s furious roars echoed in the air, and its divine thought swept over the ce, but it could not leave a set area.


    At the same time, Su Ming saw the picture in his soul. There, he saw a gxy.


    Within that gxy was a golden sea. And within that sea was a golden cultivation. While within that cultivation was a big, golden tree…


    There was nothing special about it, and it was far from being able to make even Su Ming''s soul freeze… but that was because it was merely the first thing he saw.


    Su Ming could not find anything that he could use topare to the world he saw at the moment. He only felt that everything he saw right then made him remember the spider webs he saw when he was still a child in Dark Mountain.


    Thin threads connected together to form small little squares that looked like they belonged on a spider''s. That was what Su Ming found himselfparing this world to in his mind.


    Beyond the gxy of the golden sea, golden, and the big golden tree was another gxy that looked the exactly as the one with the tree. On its edge, there were many other gxies that were identical as well, and there were even more of them farther away. Their numbers could not be counted, for there was no end to them. Once a person saw such a sight, they would be unable to help themselves but feel shocked… and a hint of despair would even raise within their hearts.


    One hundred thousand gxies. One hundred thousand golden seas. One hundred thousand goldens. One hundred thousand… golden trees!


    This scene caused Su Ming''s heart to roar. In fact, he even saw ny-seven cultivators existing in ny seven of those one hundred thousand gxies. Some of those cultivators were in the golden seas, while some of them were close to the goldens. There were also those that were struggling in the highestyer of wind on the.


    Su Ming had seen some of those people before. They were… most of the one hundred and twenty-four people who had entered the stone monument''s test in an attempt to make their stone monuments reach one million feet.


    As for the dozens of people who were missing, it was clear that they had already failed.


    "I''ve used everything that I have, and the bald crane even fell unconscious due to heavy injuries. Only like this did I manage to Possess half of the tree… but… that half that I thought was of the whole was just a half of one out of the one hundred thousand Ecang trees among the one hundred thousand cultivations and one hundred thousand gxies.


    "How… can I possibly… Possess this sort of living being…?" Su Ming mumbled. As he was shocked by all that he saw, despair rose within him.


    It could even be said that the possibility of being Possessed simply did not exist for this sort of living being, because there was no person who could Possess all one hundred thousand of its bodies. If there was someone who truly had the power to do such a thing, then… there would be absolutely no need for that person to Possess anything, because if they were capable of doing such a thing, then they were certainly one of the people who stood at the highest pinnacle of the entire universe.


    ''Am I truly incapable of seeding?


    ''Am I truly going to fail just like this…


    ''Are all my previous efforts, near a thousand years of struggle, hundreds of years of waiting, going to beid to waste and be a mere joke?!


    ''Is the bald crane''s grave injuries to buy me some time would all be just so that it would present me with a fate that would make us despair?


    ''Am I supposed to give up just like this and only be able to leave this ce after tens of thousands of years, bing just like the others, an ordinary tool in the grand scheme of things? Do I have to remain an ant for the rest of my life, remaining a person whose fate is controlled by others? Can I only watch the people I want to protect have their lives and deaths controlled by the strong again and again?!''


    Violent waves surged in Su Ming''s soul. Once he saw those one hundred thousands, he had experienced a despairing strike. It made him suddenly realize that the sess he thought was already in his hand after having upied half of those venous pathways was so insignificant it was practically a joke. For a moment, he was simply unable to ept this fact.


    "I absolutely won''t give up, neither will I be willing to admit defeat. I… am Su Ming. I am an Abyss Builder. I''ve lived a forlorn and bitter life. I couldn''t control my own fate, and even my physical body was sealed by the Immortals. Right now, I only exist as a soul!


    "Heavens! Fate! Just how long are you going to continue toying with me?!" A crazed wave left Su Ming''s soul, along with a roar that shook the sky and earth. That roar contained Su Ming''s resistance against fate, bringing with it his first ever,plete and absolute resolution to fight fate.


    At the instant that powerful wave left Su Ming''s soul, the one hundred thousand gxies, one hundred thousand golden seas, and one hundred thousands started trembling together, as if they were shaken by the madness of his soul.


    Booming sounds rang without stop, ceaselessly shaking the one hundred thousand gxies, so the ny-seven people who were going through the test sported sudden and drastic changes in their expressions. Practically all of them swiftly looked around themselves, confused because they did not know what was going on. The booms also caused the golden seas to roar and tumble and the gxies to start shaking, as if there was an earthquake around that was so great it could shake mountains and seas.


    "You let me grow up in Dark Mountain, then you took it away from me, telling me that it was all just a dream!" Su Mingughed long and hard. Within hisughter was a mockery that was aimed at himself as well as a roar that was aimed at both heavens and fate.


    The one hundred thousand gxies started trembling even harder. In fact, there were some gxies that even started cracking. ck smoke was surging into the sky from the half of the venous pathways Su Ming had upied. The smoke tumbled about viciously and spread outwards with a bang.


    "You let mee to the ninth summit! You gave me warmth! But in the end, you took all of it away with a coldugh! You turned everything into a mere illusion! You manipted my fate as if I was some puppet!"


    Su Ming''sughter was forlorn. The one hundred thousand gxies roared with him, and the ny-seven people who were being tested turned stark pale. They might not know what was going on, but they could sense that there was a crazed will within the gxies in which they were located.


    That will contained a resistance against fate, an opposition towards the heavens, and it was spreading out violently towards them at that moment.


    "You let me be the God of Berserkers, but after I took that title, you snatched everything from me! You made me watch Yu Xuan close her eyes, made me watch Bai Su disappear, made me watch my people die! You made me leave thend of Berserkers ande to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence…


    "You let me possess great power, but you pushed me to the foreignnd and trapped me here for a thousand years!" As ck smoke tumbled about from the half of the venous pathways Su Ming had upied, and those ck venous pathways immediately started twisting before they gradually grouped together to form a face. That face belonged to Su Ming.


    His expression was ferocious and hisughter was incredibly bitter as he stood up against fate.


    "You let me obtain the possibility to gain a great serendipity in the foreignnd and even allowed me to upy half of these venous pathways, but in the end, you tell me that… this is just half of one of the one hundred thousand trees!


    "Fate! Heavens! How long will you continue toying with me?! In your eyes, am I truly unable to fight against you and destroy you?!"


    Loud booms shot up from the one hundred thousand gxies at the same time. All of them trembled viciously, and cracks began spreading through them. Wisps of ck smoke flowed out from those cracks, and as it continued spreading, it grew in volume, to eventually gather together into one hundred thousand faces in the one hundred thousand gxies.


    All one hundred thousand of them were Su Ming''s faces!


    This was not something that was naturally formed due to Su Ming''s shouts. Neither had his shouts made thew in the universe open up a gap for him. What allowed him to do so was most certainly not his possession of some mysterious ability that would allow him to make the entire area around him bow its head and worship him with his anger alone.


    The reason for it was something he did not know - that half of the venous pathways he had upied on one tree would be equivalent to him upying half of all the venous pathways within all the trees.


    There might be one hundred thousand trees, but in truth… there was only one tree!


    If he obtained one, he would obtain all of them!


    However, if Su Ming had given up due to his despair just now, then he would have failed. It was precisely because of his determination and his resolve to push on that he had the chance to see the tree''s real self, as well as obtain the chance… to Possess it again!


    Illusions, reality; apparitions, corporeality. Sometimes, if a person persisted and broke through, they could realize that illusions and reality, apparitions and corporeality were divided by a fine line!


    The logic was simple. It might seem easy to figure it out, but just how many were truly able to do this? If there was a canyon that was one hundred thousand feet deep, just how many people would dare to take that one step forward!


    It was just like a person climbing a mountain. If he thought he had climbed half of it, he would use his full strength if there was only half left. But if he thought there was only half left and lifted his head to suddenly see that the half that he had climbed waspletely insignificant and there was actually still a lofty hill above that had no end, his strength would wane due to his despair. He would not be able to hold on to the walls on the mountain, and he would fall to his death. It was the same concept. Just how many people would be able to persist and continue climbing up such a mountain?!


    This was the true reason as to why Su Ming could make the one hundred thousand faces of ck smoke appear in those one hundred thousand gxies!


    "For as long as I remember myself, I have never given up. I have always moved forward, and I have always had a determined heart. Even if that determination turned into obsession, and even if that obsession caused me to suffer and descend into madness, I have never given up on any single possibility.


    "Do you know why I did all of this…? Do you know what made me do all of it?!


    "Because when I was young, I searched for my elder, yet when I grew up, I learned that all of my memories were just a dream. Because after I became the God of Berserkers, I learned that everything was just someone else''s n, all the things I had umted in my heart begun pressing down against me until I couldn''t breathe. I even thought about not struggling anymore…


    "But I couldn''t ept it. I didn''t want to be a puppet, I didn''t want to be manipted by fate. I knew back then as I know now that unless you can truly crush me, then someday, I will stand up. I will crush fate under my feet. I will make all my enemies spill blood and dye the world red with it. I will make them despair!"


    The one hundred thousand wisps of ck smoke that formed Su Ming''s faces within those one hundred thousand gxies let out a sharp and loud cry towards fate at the same time at that instant. As it echoed in the air, besides the face that had surfaced on the venous pathways that Su Ming had upied, all the other faces rushed towards the golden sea, towards the golden cultivations, and towards the golden trees!
