章 2: Chapter 2: Fallen World (2)
Li Shen felt an insurmountable amount of cosmic qi surge through his body, every cell pulsing with newfound power. He rose into the air, his form shimmering with starlight. The battlefield below seemed small and insignificant now, a mere speck in the vast tapestry of the universe that was suddenly laid bare before him.
As his consciousness expanded, Li Shen saw the intricate web of celestial bodies, each one a potential source of power. He understood now why the Constellation Demon God had sought to consume them all. The temptation to do the same flickered through his mind, but he pushed it aside. He had fought to protect this world, not to rule it.
He had finally achieved the realm of constellation, a Constellation Killer.
Li Shen stood amidst the ruins of his once-proud realm, surrounded by the devastating aftermath of a war that had decimated everything he held dear. The sight of the smoldering cities and broken spirits of his fellow cultivators filled him with a deep sense of loss and grief.
The arrival of the Constellation Demon God's avatar had brought about an apocalypse like no other, shattering reality itself and reducing the world to a chaotic wasteland. It was a cruel reminder of the price they had paid for their battles.
But amidst the destruction, Li Shen stood victorious. Yet his triumph felt hollow, as he gazed upon the desolate world and wondered what purpose his victory served. The rage, sorrow, betrayal, love, all the emotions that had fueled him now gave way to a profound emptiness.
With a desperate determination to escape this crushing despair, Li Shen turned inward and tapped into his newly acquired constellation abilities, bending reality to his will.
He could sense every living being in the Murim world with unparalleled clarity, and amid the chaos, he channeled all his cosmic power. With a single focused thought, he conjured an image of Earth from his memories, using his celestial energies to create a sanctuary amidst the devastation.
In a moment of immense power, Li Shen summoned an ancient portal not only before him, but before every living being in the world, its form pulsating with celestial light and shimmering with cosmic threads.
It appeared as a dazzling beacon of hope amid the crumbling destruction, luring in any who sought escape from this apocalyptic world.
As the portal stabilized and radiated an ethereal glow, Li Shen stepped through it, leaving behind the shattered remains of the Murim world and all its horrors.
For a brief moment, he could almost believe that he had found peace in this new realm beyond the reach of the cataclysm's grasp.
But deep down, he knew that even here, his victory came at a great cost. And with that realization came a new wave of grief and sorrow, haunting him even in this supposed sanctuary.
Li Shen's destination was Earth, the world of his origin. As he gazed out at the familiar planet, memories flooded back to him like a wave crashing against the shore.
He could almost smell the fresh grass and feel the warm sun on his skin, transporting him back to a time when life was simple and peaceful.
But that life had been cut short by a tragic road accident, sending Li Shen's soul hurtling across space and time, and finally into the Murim world. There, he had faced countless battles and challenges, growing in strength and wisdom with each passing lifetime.
Yet, deep down, there remained a bittersweet longing for his former life, a reminder of what he had lost and what he continued to fight for.
...…..
Stepping through the portal, Li Shen emerged into a scene of stark contrast to the chaos he had just left behind. The city before him was in turmoil, its once bustling streets now overrun with panicked crowds. Their faces were twisted in terror, their eyes wild with fear and desperation.
They stumbled and ran through the streets in a frenzy, driven not by rational thought but by an insatiable hunger, a primal urge that consumed them as surely as they sought to consume everything in their path. The entire population had become nothing less than a zombie.
Amidst the tumult of madness, Li Shen's eyes fixated on a woman desperately clutching a child to her chest. Her wide, terror-filled eyes darted around frantically as she fought to shield the innocent from the surrounding chaos.
The once-human figures around them had been transformed into grotesque, zombie-like beings; their sunken eyes devoid of all emotion, their pallid skin marred with sickly hues, and their movements jerky and unnatural.
With mindless determination, they clawed and reached for their prey, driven by an insatiable hunger that defied all reason and unleashed a primal terror upon the world.
Li Shen's heart felt like it was tearing apart at the sight before him. The Earth he once knew, a place of beauty and serenity, now lay in ruins. The contrast between his peaceful memories and the apocalyptic horror unfolding before him was unbearable.
He gritted his teeth and whispered to himself, "I thought this world would be my refuge, my escape from pain. But it seems that darkness follows me wherever I go."
Standing amidst the chaos, Li Shen knew his journey was far from over. The agony of his past and the devastation of his present were intertwined, and he would have to face them both to find any semblance of peace.
For now, all he could do was watch as the world crumbled around him, overcome by waves of anger, grief, and a deep sense of loss.
The city continued to collapse, screams and destruction filling the air. Li Shen stood among the rubble of what used to be a thriving world, bracing himself for the trials that lay ahead. As he surveyed the destruction, he said through clenched teeth,
"The cries of the fallen will guide me, but they will also haunt me. In this new reality, I must fight for hope once more." His determined words held a hint of desperation as he prepared to face the challenges that awaited him in this broken world.
