I Am Really Not The Son of Providence-Chapter 505: Where Is Hope?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Shen Tian gazed at the endless void deeply.

Even though the five Thearchs were dead and the five regions’ crisis was temporarily resolved, he did not relax.

This battle was not over yet.

The Evil Spirits from the outer realm were too powerful. Losing five Thearchs was only a superficial loss.

At the back, there were even more powerful existences that were like tigers watching their prey.

The real battlefield was not in the five regions but in the Celestial World.

The journey to resist the Evil Spirits was still very long.

However, Shen Tian wasn’t discouraged.

He had benefited greatly from this battle against the five Thearchs. He had truly come into contact with the power of a Thearch, and his comprehension of a Thearch’s strength was now extremely deep.

Moreover, he had tempered himself during the battle, causing his battle skills to become more refined.

It was only a matter of time before he became a Thearch.

At this thought, Shen Tian’s eyes were resolute.

No matter what, he had to lead the five regions to resist the Evil Spirits outside the region.

This was the long-cherished wish of the ancient sages, as well as the mission of the one with the Human Emperor Physique.

...

Shen Tian then took a deep breath. “It’s time to go back.”

He turned around, preparing to return to the five regions.

However, at this moment, a change occurred.

A faint divine light emitted from his chest, erupting with vast power.

The Kunlun Mirror slowly rose up, and its light dimmed.

During the past 100 years, the Kunlun Mirror had consumed 90% of its energy.

Now, it was using its final strength to bring Shen Tian back to the future world.

Shen Tian wasn’t surprised by this.

He had long known about the historical events and was relieved.

Shen Tian turned and looked deeply at the five regions. “It’s up to you guys now.”

He felt reluctant.

After all, he had made many close friends over the past 100 years.

Ao Lie, Jiang Taiyi, Sheng Yangxu, Xiang Chonglou...

They had fought side by side and had gone through thick and thin together.

It was only because of their support that Shen Tian had managed to create the glorious Heavenly Courts.

These were Shen Tian’s memories of this era.

...

Besides the geniuses, there was also Shen Xiao.

This was his only disciple. They had spent 100 years together and had a deep relationship.

Shen Tian had personally witnessed Shen Xiao grow step by step and was now no weaker than a top paragon.

She had been putting in far more effort than an ordinary person just to catch up to Shen Tian as soon as possible.

Shen Tian had seen it all with his own eyes.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t see the day Shen Xiao reached the peak.

He felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Shen Tian was going to return to the future and completely bid goodbye to this era.

No matter how reluctant he was, there was nothing he could do.

After all, he wasn’t someone from this era. If he stayed here for too long, it would cause karma to become chaotic, affecting the Heavenly Dao order.

At that moment, the divine light burst forth from the Kunlun Mirror.

The Taiyi Profound Mark was completely lit up.

The void surged, and hazy mists appeared.

The spacetime door suddenly appeared and released a mighty force, pulling Shen Tian into the river of time.

“Fellow Daoists, let’s meet again in the future!”

His figure disappeared, completely leaving this realm.

...

In the five regions, the geniuses felt something.

They looked up into the sky, their eyes filled with hope.

“Brother Shen, you will definitely return safely!”

Jiang Taiyi’s eyes lit up.

They firmly believed that Shen Tian could kill the three Thearchs and lead them back to the Celestial World.

At the side, Shen Xiao was also fighting with all her might.

A hundred years had allowed the young girl to completely mature.

Her entire body was surrounded by chaotic energy, her heroic appearance matchless. With a wave of her hand, Perfected Immortals shed blood.

But at that moment, Shen Xiao’s body froze.

She suddenly felt empty.

It was as if... she had lost something important.

Shen Xiao stared into the void as a tear rolled down her cheek.

“I shall not become a Thearch but shall wait for your return in the mortal world.”

...

After passing through the misty door, Shen Tian stepped into the river of time.

The mist here was boundless with natural laws swirling about.

The river of time stretched long as it flowed throughout the ages.

This place was extremely strange. It was filled with the power of the Origin of Time and Space, mysterious and unfathomable.

It was difficult even for Thearchs and Immortal Kings to enter this place.

Only a special Dao treasure like the Kunlun Mirror could allow one to cross the river of time.

The Kunlun Mirror pushed Shen Tian down the river of time.

Time flowed, hazy mists swirling about.

The river of time produced many historical scenes.

These were all traces left behind by time and the records of the events through the countless eras.

...

Shen Tian’s eyes narrowed as he looked at these historical scenes.

As a bystander, he understood what happened after he left.

Because the five Thearchs were killed, the remaining Evil Spirits were not the five regions’ cultivators’ match and were all slaughtered.

However, everyone also realized that Shen Tian had disappeared and became terrified.

Fortunately, Jiang Taiyi, Ao Lie, and the others stepped forward to control the situation.

The five regions regained their temporary peace, giving everyone time to breathe.

During this period, the strength of the geniuses advanced by leaps and bounds. Most of them reached the Sub-Thearch realm.

However, good times did not last.

The Evil Spirit race was ambitious, and they continued to attack the five regions.

Moreover, the five Evil Spirit Thearchs’ deaths had attracted the Evil Spirit race’s attention.

They sent out experts again, wanting to completely invade the five regions this time.

The Evil Spirit army arrived with torrential might.

The danger of this battle was even greater than before.

This was because seven Evil Spirit Thearchs had descended.

The five regions were destroyed. It was a scene of desolation.

The Heavenly Courts troops resisted with all their might and used the formation left behind by Shen Tian to forcefully hold back the six Thearchs.

However, the last Thearch suddenly made his move.

He killed wantonly.

Soon, the formation was broken, and the Heavenly Courts were in danger.

Countless members of the Heavenly Courts died miserably at the hands of the Evil Spirits. Their corpses were like mountains that dyed the hall red.

Upon seeing this scene, Shen Tian’s eyes almost split apart.

He saw his former comrades die miserably at the hands of the Evil Spirit Thearchs while protecting the land of the Heavenly Courts.

This was the holy land in their hearts.

Even at the cost of their life, they did not back down.

But in the end, the Heavenly Courts was still destroyed, forever trapped in North Sea.

More than half of the 108 Heavenly Generals were dead or injured. They were about to be completely destroyed.

Shen Tian roared furiously as his blood boiled. He wanted nothing more than to kill his way out of the river of time and fight against the Evil Spirit Thearchs.

However, he was unable to kill his way out.

Once karma was changed, terrifying things would definitely happen.

Regardless of whether it was the present or the future, they might all suffer from unforeseen circumstances.

...

Fortunately, the situation changed.

A woman whose entire body was surrounded by chaotic energy, holding a silver longsword, rose up against the heavens.

She used the Chaotic Tinder Sutra techniques to kill seven Thearchs and resolved the crisis of the five regions.

In this battle, she successfully stepped into the Thearch realm.

After that, she led the remnants of the Heavenly Courts and successfully killed their way to the Celestial World.

Before leaving, she looked at the five regions deeply.

There was a lot in this gaze.

Shen Tian’s eyes rippled as he muttered to himself, “Xiaoxiao!”

He recognized the white-robed lady as Shen Xiao.

After Shen Tian’s disappearance, she had been completely focused. She had abandoned all the prosperity of the world and entered seclusion to study the Chaotic Tinder Sutra.

In the end, she successfully comprehended this supreme technique.

Furthermore, she had also created the Heaven-Devouring Earth Art to form her Connate Chaotic Body.

It was because of Shen Xiao’s rise that the five regions did not go extinct.

...

Shen Tian smiled as he watched Shen Xiaoxiao’s rise.

She fought all the way, her blood dyeing the sky, killing the Evil Spirits until they were terrified.

Tempering oneself in battle, strengthening through devouring.

In the end, Shen Xiao became supreme and led the myriad races of the Celestial World to fight against the Evil Spirits.

She was called the Great Empress by the world!

However, Shen Tian discovered that she often looked into the void.

Her back image was bleak as if she was waiting for someone to return.

Shen Tian’s body shook when he saw this.

He finally realized that the so-called Great Empress he had met back then was Shen Xiao.

And the person she had been waiting for was himself from the very beginning!

Above the Chaotic Star Island domain...

An enormous crack tore through the heavens, natural laws becoming chaotic.

Shen Tian walked out of the void and floated in the endless sea.

At that moment, the Kunlun Mirror’s energy was depleted.

In the end, it turned into an ordinary-looking ancient mirror with a dim glow.

Shen Tian could sense that this time, the Kunlun Mirror had exhausted hundreds of thousands of years worth of energy.

He kept the Kunlun Mirror. Perhaps he would have a chance to recover in the future.

Shen Tian looked around and confirmed this was the Chaotic Star Island domain.

But he did not know the five regions’ situation.

Shen Tian leaped up and rushed toward Black Dragon Island.

Along the way, he found that the situation of the five regions was almost the same as 490,000 years ago.

Flames of war raged everywhere as the Evil Spirit race wreaked havoc.

The entire North Sea was experiencing a catastrophe!

There was not a single inhabitant in the trillions of miles of territory, only endless Evil Spirits.

“Could it be that the Evil Spirit race has launched an all-out attack?”

Shen Tian’s gaze was solemn.

He activated the domain teleportation formation and rushed to Black Dragon Island.

At Black Dragon Island...

Smoke rose in all directions as the flames of war raged.

In the sky above Black Dragon Island, a dozen or so Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits were glaring at the sea below.

Behind them, the Evil Spirit army was like a black tide that covered the heavens.

Their auras were terrifying, covering the heavens.

A light screen enveloped the entire Black Dragon Island, sealing it off.

The power of the Dragon God surged, isolating the Evil Spirits in the sky.

This was a grand formation left behind by the ancestors of Black Dragon Island, and it possessed boundless defensive capabilities.

However, after being attacked by more than ten Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits, the formation was unstable and could shatter at any moment.

The old Dragon King, Ao Ye, Ao Wu, Ao Bing, and the others stood in front of Black Dragon Island and waited.

Other than them, all the major North Sea demons had gathered here. Their eyes were resolute as they looked at death with equanimity.

This calamity was not something the North Sea demons could withstand.

Once the formation was broken, it would be the end of the world for them.

“Can the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty send reinforcements?”

Kun Ming’s tone was heavy. He wanted to find a chance of survival.

Ao Ye shook his head and sighed. “The attack that the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty is suffering now is far more terrifying than what our North Sea is suffering. This time, I’m afraid there’s no way to reverse the situation.”

They had received news from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty that they were unable to send reinforcements.

This was because the five regions had also fallen into a calamity.

Every area was attacked by the Evil Spirit army.

The attack on Middle Ground was far more terrifying than the other regions.

“Could it be that North Sea will be destroyed today?”

Kun Xu released a long sigh toward the heavens, feeling deeply powerless.

The Evil Spirit race had launched an all-out attack. Such an attack was not something that they could contend against.

After all, North Sea only had a single Sub-Thearch, the old Dragon King. How could he fight against more than ten Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits?

Boom!

The formation’s light screen finally shattered.

The evil mist invaded this place and covered the sky.

More than ten Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits stood in the air with terrifying eyes. “Evil Spirit army, kill all these ants!”

Endless Evil Spirits poured out in torrents, their might horrifying, overturning the sun, moon, and stars.

This scene made everyone despair.

“Even if I die, I will drag down these evil creatures with me!”

Kun Xu let out a long and tragic cry. His will to die had already been formed. He wanted to perish together with these Evil Spirits!

“Kill!”

The old Dragon King, Ao Ye, and the others also roared furiously.

Everyone charged into the sky with the intention of fighting the Evil Spirits to death!

But they knew that this battle was hopeless.

...

The void suddenly surged, and a figure walked out of the void, his aura shaking the world.

His white robes fluttered in the wind as he stood aloof.

When they saw this person, everyone from North Sea froze in place, their eyes turning incomparably brilliant.

Shock, surprise, and astonishment!

Many emotions spilled out!

“That’s... The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader!”

“The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader has returned!”

They immediately recognized Shen Tian and were extremely excited.

When North Sea had been in danger, it was Shen Tian who had stepped forward to save this world.

Disappearing for 100 years did not affect his position in everyone’s hearts at all.

At such a crucial moment, Shen Tian’s appearance brought hope to everyone.

The Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits’ eyes flickered. They had also heard of Shen Tian.

Back then, Shen Tian had killed Perfected Immortals.

When they saw Shen Tian appear, the dozen or so Evil Spirits’ gazes became increasingly cruel.

“Brat, there’s a path to heaven, but you didn’t take it. Instead, you barged into hell! Today, you shall bury your soul in North Sea!”

One of the Perfected Immortal Evil Spirit spoke out, his aura incomparably savage.

Shen Tian’s reputation in the five regions was that he had only killed a single Perfected Immortal before.

However, to the dozen or so Perfected Immortals, they did not care at all.

Killing a Perfected Immortal did not mean that he could kill more than ten Perfected Immortals together!

The Evil Spirits intended to avenge the Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits from before and kill Shen Tian.

More than ten Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits moved together, slaughtering their way toward Shen Tian.

The heavens were overturned, and endless black mist surged, causing the sun and moon to lose color.

Everyone’s expression changed drastically. “Be careful!”

The old Dragon King rushed forward in an attempt to help Shen Tian resolve the pressure.

After all, there were too many Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits. Their power was terrifying.

No one understood Shen Tian’s current combat strength and was worried that he would be in danger.

...

However, Shen Tian was extremely indifferent.

He gently raised his hand and slapped forward.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, thousands of kilometers of territory collapsed.

The Perfected Immortals did not even have the chance to scream before they exploded into blood mist.

Even the army of hundreds of thousands of Evil Spirits was instantly crushed and dispersed.

Heaven and earth regained their clarity, leaving behind the dazed seafolk.

...

Kun Xu, Ao Ye, and the others were dumbstruck.

The old Dragon King froze on the spot as his body trembled violently.

Even a Sub-Thearch was shocked by this scene.

Shen Tian had become so terrifying after 100 years!?

Killing a Perfected Immortal was as easy as killing a dog to him. He could destroy them with a flick of a finger!?

This power was too terrifying!

“North Sea’s savior has reappeared!”

“The Evil Spirit cubs are all dead!”

Ao Wu was the first to react. He immediately dashed into the sky with a respectful expression.

Shen Tian smiled.

Seeing that his old friend was safe, he heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that something unexpected would happen. Fortunately, he managed to make it in time.

At this time, Ao Bing also flew over.

She gazed deeply at Shen Tian and murmured, “You... are finally back!”

Shen Tian nodded. “Yes, I was delayed by some matters!”

Ao Bing knew that Shen Tian had entered the Chaotic Star Sea.

However, she did not expect that he would be gone for another 100 years.

“Where’s Ao Xue?” asked Shen Tian. He didn’t see Shen Aoxue.

Ao Bing explained: “Ao Xue is in Jixia Academy. Because of the five regions’ calamity, she was unable to rush back.”

Shen Tian frowned. “Then how’s the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?”

This was where he belonged, so he naturally cared about its wellbeing.

Ao Bing spoke again. “The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is fine. It is the strongest faction outside the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty.

“Their development over the past 100 years has been extremely fast, and they have groomed dozens of Sub-immortals.

“Elder Zhang Longyuan and Elder Chu Longhe have also broken through to the Sub-Thearch realm.”

Shen Tian nodded slightly. That was expected.

Before leaving, he had brought many unmatched inheritances back to the sacred ground, and 100 years was enough for many elites to rise up.

Ao Bing’s tone then changed.

“When we sent a request for help previously, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had already dealt with the powerful enemy and planned on sending reinforcements.

“However, a crisis suddenly emerged in Middle Ground. Furthermore, the current situation there is extremely tragic.

“Thus, Zhang Longyuan and Chu Longhe led the Divine Firmament army to assist the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty instead!”

Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was fine.

After that, his brows knit together tightly. “The Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty is being besieged? Furthermore, they’re unable to provide assistance to other areas?”

The Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty was the strongest power in the five regions. There were countless experts amongst them, and there were even supreme experts of the five regions like Imperial Lord Huang Shi holding down the fort.

Given such a foundation, they had actually fallen into danger?

Ao Bing nodded with a heavy gaze. “The Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty is suffering the most terrifying attack in history.

“1,000 Perfected Immortals are besieging them, and there are even existences above the Perfected Immortal realm that are taking action.

“Imperial Lord Huang Shi is besieged and is unable to get rid of those pestering him. Hence, he is unable to render assistance to others.”

Shen Tian’s gaze was solemn. “Imperial Lord Huang Shi was besieged?”

Huang Shi was one of Shen Tian’s most respected elders.

At the same time, he was one of the strongest people in the five regions.

The Evil Spirit race actually besieged such an expert.

Could it be that an Evil Spirit Thearch had descended?

...

Shen Tian wore a grave expression and prepared to head to Middle Ground.

The five regions’ crisis was no less than 490,000 years ago.

,000 Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits had moved out together. This was a terrifying lineup.

Even if all the Sub-Thearchs of the five regions gathered together, they might not be able to resist this strength.

He had to rush over as soon as possible to prevent any unforeseen events from happening.

“I’ll go too!”

At that moment, the old Dragon King also walked out.

He was a 27 Tribulation Sub-Thearch. He was extremely powerful and was able to face several Perfected Immortals at once.

Now that North Sea’s crisis had been resolved, he had to contribute to the five regions.

“Alright!”

Shen Tian nodded slightly and began to set up a formation that led directly to Middle Ground.

Now that the situation was critical, there was no time to waste.

The formation was quickly set up, emitting a majestic aura.

Shen Tian and the old Dragon King entered the formation and headed to Middle Ground.

At Middle Ground, Great Wilderness Region...

The head of the nine prefectures in Middle Ground was also the strongest prefecture.

This place was the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty’s base.

In the past, this had been a place of pilgrimage, and Evil Spirits had never been able to invade this place.

But now, it had become a scene of desolation.

A dense Evil Spirit army had long surrounded the Great Wilderness Region’s outskirts.

,000 Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits had descended, overturning 10,000 kilometers of territory.

Terrifying evil might swept through heaven and earth, wishing to completely destroy this world.

There were countless Sub-immortal Evil Spirits in the void.

Their eyes were vicious and extremely evil, like hungry ghosts.

...

This scene made everyone shudder.

Those with lower cultivation bases had long fainted from fear.

The cultivators above the Sage level were equally shocked.

This calamity was too terrifying, and countless people felt despair.

The Evil Spirit race had been plotting this for many years, and they planned to destroy the five regions in one go.

Thankfully, the Great Wilderness Region had set up a supreme formation that sealed off the area, temporarily isolating the Evil Spirits.

However, the situation was still very bad for them.

After all, the lineup of the Evil Spirit army was far greater than before.

Moreover, the Celestial World was unable to send any reinforcements.

The five regions had once again fallen into an unprecedented calamity.

...

Many experts, such as Shi Tianzi, War Kings, and the Jixia Academy mentors, stood on the walls of the Great Wilderness Region.

Their expressions were grave.

The Evil Spirits had invaded!

This calamity seemed endless, and no one could see any possibility of them surviving.

How long could they last?

Where was hope?
