In a palace with golden pillars and jade railings, beauties dressed in misty silk gauze were playing the piano and dancing gracefully. It was a magnificent scene.
However, the nobles who were just spectators were not interested in the fun and all of them had solemn expressions.
"Everyone here is about to reach the realm of ascension, but the ladder to ascension is about to break. Are you all just going to sit there and wait for death?" The middle-aged man with a big belly and a square face sneered, "I'll just say this, whether you do it or not, I'll take you guys to break the sky and leave."
The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table took a sip from his wine glass, then sighed quietly, "The Ascension Ladder is no longer burdened. Even if we reach a higher realm in the future, we will no longer be able to leave this continent. We can only sit and wait for death. So I second the proposal of the head of the Ning family, and I am willing to use the strength of the entire family to break through the sky and reach the upper realm."
The woman sitting on the other side had an ethereal and graceful figure. She showed a look of compassion when she heard the words and shook her head and said, "Absolutely not. If the sky of this continent is damaged, the survivors of this world will not survive for long. We were born and raised in this world, how can we do such a vicious thing?"
"Women are soft-hearted and soft-hearted, and it's hard for them to achieve great things." The bearded man sneered, "Why don't you think about this, Master Qu? If all of us are trapped in this world, we will be destroyed sooner or later along with this lower world. It's better to give it a try and use the strength of several clans to send all the good seedlings in the clan to the upper world. As for those useless people who can't go to the upper world, they deserve to die."
"I also agree with what Patriarch Ning said. The ladder to immortality is about to break. I don't want to be trapped in this world and wait for death."
"I think what Patriarch Qu said makes sense. We can't let all the living beings in this world be buried with us just for our own selfishness. Even if the Ascension Ladder is broken, it means our fate has ended. We must not force it."
"I thought… "
"no… "
Looking closely, it is obvious that the two sides are secretly confronting each other, and the situation has reached the point where it is about to break out.
Mingyue frowned slightly, probably already knowing the cause of the incident.
It turned out that there was something wrong with this world's ladder to immortality. Without the ladder, the people in this world would not be able to find any way to ascend even if they had reached the realm where they should ascend.
Moreover, the upper limit of the realm of this world is right there. If you reach the right realm but cannot leave it, then the only result is to return to dust.
No wonder the powerful people in this world are now arguing with each other.
What they are fighting for is clearly their lives, and also the fate of all living beings in this world.
But human nature is selfish after all, and coupled with the yearning for the upper realm, more and more people support the head of the Ning family, and even those who don't want to be bad guys just remain silent.
In just a moment, the difference was apparent.
The square-faced man laughed loudly and said with a confident look: "Since everyone agrees with what Ning said, then it is settled. After half a month, we will break through the sky and go to the upper realm together. Then we will drink with the heads of the families in the upper realm."
The other family heads raised their glasses as if they were celebrating their victory in advance.
As the only female head of a family in the palace, head of the Qu family closed her eyes and sighed deeply.
The heads of several families who supported the head of the Qi family also looked guilty, and felt that the wine glasses in their hands weighed thousands of pounds.
Mingyue frowned, feeling that things would not be that simple.
Sure enough, after Master Ning and others left, Master Qu and several other masters who did not support Potian gathered together again, and Mingyue's soul followed them automatically for some reason.
"We can't let Patriarch Ning and Patriarch Ye succeed. Birth, aging, sickness and death are destiny. We are so lucky to have acquired such a great skill. How can we let all living things die just because we are afraid of death?"
"But they are so numerous and powerful. We can't stop them with just a few of us!" "Yes, I heard that the head of the Ning family has contacted several powerful people of the demon clan. I'm afraid the sky will be broken."
"No one can resist the attraction of the upper world, not to mention that the ladder to immortality is useless now, alas..."
Several family heads sighed, but only the head of the Qu family frowned and said nothing.
After a long while, the head of the Qu family spoke tentatively: "Everyone, if there is the blessing of the Nuwa Stone, do you think it will prevent them from breaking the sky?"
Everyone looked at her in surprise.
"Patriarch Qu actually has the Nuwa Stone in his hand?"
"Yes, I have heard that the head of the Qu family is a descendant of the goddess Nuwa. When Nuwa repaired the sky, she must have left the Nuwa Stone. It is natural that it was passed to the head of the Qu family."
"If we have the Nuwa Stone, it would be fine to let them destroy the sky. Then we can just let the survivors of this world repair the sky. This is the best of both worlds."
The head of the Qu family gave a bitter smile and finally let the cat out of the bag: "I do have the Nuwa Stone left over from when Nuwa repaired the sky. Unfortunately, this Nuwa Stone is not enough to fill the hole in the broken sky. A thousand years from now, this world will surely encounter a disaster."
Upon hearing this, several family heads were speechless.
Finally, amid Mingyue's sigh, they made a plan to use the Nuwa Stone to strengthen the sky near the Ascension Ladder, making it impossible for the head of the Ning family and others to break the sky.
However, the plan ultimately failed at the last moment. The head of the Qu family was not on guard against those who believed in her, and had no idea that there was a traitor among them.
So the Nuwa Stone fell into the hands of the Ning family head and others, and a war among the powerful broke out in this palace.
The head of the Qi family and several like-minded family heads were buried under the palace.
The victors, including the head of the Ning family, took away the Nuwa Stone. Amid the screams of all living things, they followed the broken ladder to immortality and broke through the sky of this world. They also took away a large amount of cultivation techniques and vitality of this world, and left behind a mirror of reincarnation.
However, Mingyue knew that the real winners were not the group of family heads who went to the upper realm.
It turns out that the female patriarch who was looked down upon by all the patriarchs was born with a mind that had seven orifices and possessed the ability to predict the future, and the Nuwa Stone taken away by Patriarch Ning and others was actually a fake.
In a scene that no one else could see, Mingyue watched with her own eyes the fairy-like head of the Qu family separate the two pieces of Nuwa stone.
She handed one piece to the younger generation in her family and asked them to use it to repair the sky after breaking it.
One piece was buried in a spiritual vein. She stood in front of the spiritual vein for a long time before she said softly, "Sorry, the future of this continent is in your hands."
The head of the Qu family told a mixture of truth and lies. What was false was that she actually had two Nuwa stones in her hands, and what was false was that she did not completely trust those friends. It was true that the Nuwa stones could not withstand the power of the powerful to break the sky, and it was also true that this continent would face a disaster in a thousand years.
Sure enough, this continent lasted for a thousand years under the planning of the head of the Qu family.
The memories in the temple ended here, and Mingyue’s soul returned to her body.
