The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1027

(Unedited)

…

When the trap was laid Shin Jiao has a hunch that there is something wrong with it. And so he let his drone pass through that trapping array. As the small drone passes through he immediately knew that there is something wrong with it.

It was not a normal trap but a teleportation trap.

And so he stopped the demon emperor in his plan and instead cut his arm to prevent him from using that array controller.

With that, he showed a smirk on his face as he watches the demon emperor and the Shadow Being inside of the demon emperor fall through the wormhole.

"Wait! No, we have to go after them!" shouted the dragon emperor.

Shin Jiao was a bit taken aback because he already knew that the right portal is not the one where they fell. And from the looks of the planet they are falling to, it seems like it is a barren planet. With that, they would be trapped in that place for a time.

"We got them trapped, why should we chase after them?!" Shin Jiao asked in confusion.

"No… We have to kill that Shadow Being… that Yol-gar. He holds the key to everything in here. If we could not kill him, the Heaven and Earth opening will not close… This whole thing is one big scheme…" the dragon emperor said while looking at the portal.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao thought for a while and then noticed the locations of the two planets. Then his eyes went wide in disbelief…

"Wait a minute… these two planets… they are not that far from each other. Those… those demons… their scheme seem to be deeper than we thought…" Shin Jiao said with a gloomy look.

"What do you mean?"

"These two planets… they are in the same galaxy… Around 10 years away with a saint's speed." Shin Jiao began to explain.

He has the map of the galaxies and he could tell that those two planets in the opened portals are not that far from each other.

However, the first planet is a primordial planet in which life is just starting. While the other one is a planet that is already brimming with life and civilization.

"But one thing is in common with these two planets…" the Gigantes king suddenly said.

Everyone looks at him.

"They didn't have any deities protecting them."

When everyone heard his words, they all showed a surprised expression.

"Since the first one is still a budding planet, the deity assigned there has not arrived yet. The other one does not have any deity halo on it. Which means, the deity in that planet is not present…" the Gigantes king continued.

Everyone thought for a while and then suddenly they all realized why these two planets were chosen by the demons.

"Does that mean that no matter where they landed, they would still attack these planets?" a saint ruler asked.

"Yes… but the problem is I can sense a strong law on the second planet. We cannot enter that place…" the dragon emperor said while musing.

"But we can use our soul to enter that planet, right?"

While they were musing, they suddenly noticed the sun on the horizon shining down on the planet. Upon seeing that, everyone gasped in disbelief.

"No… this is impossible…"

"That planet… that is the planet of trapped deities… It is the Heavenly Samsara planet. That is where the deities that have committed great atrocities are imprisoned in a never-ending cycle of life until they have gathered enough karma to reach Nirvana." The orc saint ruler said as he looks at the portal with amazement.

"So this is the mysterious planet… But why is it being targeted by the demons?" the dwarven saint ruler asked with confusion.

"Don't you get it? The karma on that planet is enough to generate strong energy to open the higher planes. Once everyone died in there and enter the cycle of their reincarnation, then the demons could harvest that much karma using the portals…"

Everyone immediately realized the implication of the situation.

But they knew that if they enter that place, they would be trapped there like every other deity on that planet.

"So that is the reason why there is no need for a deity to guard that planet." Shin Jiao thought.

He knew of the danger of this task and if any of the saint rulers would try to enter these two planets, they would lose their ability. And they would not be able to travel from any of the planets as they are not aware of its location in space.

However, Shin Jiao is different. But if he enters the place where the demon emperor enters, then he would be facing against a saint-level Shadow Being, and that is not something he could fight against.

And so, his other chance is to enter the planet and prepare for the incoming attack from the demons. His only chance of returning is the death of the Shadow Being. But he has to weigh his options at this time.

While everyone is worrying, a female human figure slowly floated towards them. Behind her there are two others, one looks like a tall giant with a dragon's head, while the other one looks like a human-sized mosquito.

When the saint rulers noticed the figure of the three, they all stiffened and quickly bowed their heads.

She did not look at the rest and just shifted her gaze at Shin Jiao.

"This task belongs to you… You have made great chaos in the immortal land, you know. By introducing technology, you have changed the fate of many immortals, but that also upset the balance in the universe… For us to be able to accept that balance shift, it is up to you to prove yourself… If not, then fate would not be so kind to the rest of the immortals in this world." She said in a light voice that does not seem to come from her.

Her voice seems to be coming from all around them.

She showed Shin Jiao a slight smile.

"I've known that you are already aware of this… If you successfully complete this task… then…"

Before she could continue, the human-sized mosquito suddenly cuts her off.

"Goddess… you are already interfering with fate…"

Upon hearing this, the female goddess stopped.

"Go… The fate of everyone on this planet is in your hands…" she said then pushes Shin Jiao inside the other portal.

Shin Jiao did not have any choice as he could feel his body helplessly tumbling towards the portal behind him.

But before he could enter, she suddenly waves her hand and an image of a huge clock suddenly appears on the portal's mouth.

Shin Jiao immediately passes through the portal while hitting the huge clock and break it into pieces. He then heard the goddess in his mind said, "This will give you 20 years of a head start… good luck…"

When the two behind her saw this, they wanted to stop her but it was all too late.

"This… you… what have you done?" the tall man with a dragon's head said in exasperation.

"This is the reason why the heavens have banished us here…"

"You always like to meddle with the affairs of these lower beings."

The two began to berate her.

But she showed indifference towards them and just watches as the two portals now close.

The three figures then floated towards the platform and then close the two opened portals.

"This is all that we can help with… the rest of what will happen next will rely on you…" she said as she and the two with her floated away.

"Yes, goddess…" the dragon emperor said with a cupped hand.

The other saint rulers also bowed down as the three left.

When the three deities left the area, everyone heaves a sigh of relief. However, they could not help but still worry.

They know what kind of planet that young human is going to enter. According to the rumor, that place is a place that could trap even the deities. Strip with their memories and unable to remember who they are. They would be living their life in a cycle of suffering, pain, and sometimes happiness. But this life would be a never-ending cycle, the cycle of Samsara.

"I hope that the goddess has made the right choice to send the human…"

"Well, we cannot do anything to stop this now…"

"We can try to open the same planet, right?"

"We have no control over that… everything in here is controlled by the deities in the graveyard…"

"Then I guess, all we have to do now is to pray and wait…"

Suddenly, a strong force seems to have picked the saint rulers and threw them out of the valley. Then they all recalled that in truth, no matter what they do, they could not enter any of those portals. And only the human could.

This is because… that is the law covering the entire Heaven and Earth Valley.

Well, if they could discard their immortal body and possess one of the gold realm beings, they might enter the portal. But who would do such a thing after painstakingly reaching the saint realm?
