Chapter 1187: Slim Hope
Since ancient times, those who struggled against the heavens never met a good end.
Yet such people had always appeared in the long river of history. These were figures left unrecorded in historical texts and scholars' notes; the moment they stepped onto this path, they were destined to scatter like smoke.
Manyue could no longer recall just how many people in her memory had defied the mandate of heaven like this. But Chen Changsheng alone gave her a different feeling.
For two thousand years, his destiny had been a struggle against the Heavenly Dao.
Then came his passage into rebirth and Reincarnation. He walked the Corpse Dao, entered the demonic path, and bathed the entire Cultivation World in blood, unleashing a wave of unimaginable turmoil across heaven and earth.
Back then, fearing neither heaven nor earth, he had marched steadily forward, absolute in his resolve to contend with the heavens.
But in the end, he failed.
He suffered a complete defeat.
To preserve his life, he abandoned his physical body, usurped the laws of the Yellow Springs, and hid within them. Thus, he evaded the curse. He severed a portion of his soul and sent it into Reincarnation, using this feigned death to deceive the Heavenly Dao.
