Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning

Chapter 157 The Past About the Heaven Mending Barrier

“Do you have this ability?” Ye Chen was shocked.

He remembered that the Heaven Mending Barrier was a treasure created by the ancestors of various races in order to resist the invasion of those from outside the universe. It was specially used to repair the cracks in the universe and strengthen the periphery of the universe. Only then were they able to preserve the peace of the Primitive World for many years. It was so strong that even though there were many different foreign realms in the Primitive World, none of them were connected to the outer universe.

How could a Divine Beast master the repairing ability of a treasure created by the ancestors of multiple races?

Furthermore, he remembered that according to the Wasteland Remembrance, although the Human-Faced Birds were among the various races that created the Heaven Mending Barrier, Zhurong’s name wasn’t recorded. Besides, based on the time recorded, Zhurong was ostracized by its race because its cultivation method was way too deviant at that time. It shouldn’t have joined the project of the creation of this secret treasure with the other races.

“Why can’t I have it? I was the one responsible for refining this treasure back then.” Zhurong was a bit confused when it saw the look of surprise on his face.

“But there’s no record of you being the creator?” Ye Chen was dumbfounded.

“I used a fake identity back then.” Zhurong sighed. “The Human-Faced Birds all look similar. I was interested in the refinement of the secret treasure, so I joined that project on behalf of a friend… The making of the Heaven Mending Barrier isn’t difficult. I only need to refine the Spirit Stones into liquid Spiritual Energy and it can counter the Spiritual Energy outside, forming a shell.”

Ye Chen was speechless.

He felt that Zhurong was showing off, but its tone was indifferent as though it was stating a fact.

“Let me make myself clear first. Spirit Qi is rather scarce in that foreign realm, so there aren’t any materials that the Heaven Mending Barrier can use.” After some thought, Ye Chen decided to add on in case Zhurong thought too highly of itself. “There’s only a little bit more of the Heaven Mending Barrier. There aren’t any Spirit Stones or anything. Is there really no problem?”

Although the Heaven Mending Barrier’s defensive power was powerful, its ability to conceal itself was even more outstanding. That was why Ye Chen was shocked when the barrier was attacked. He even suspected that there was a crack in the Heaven Mending Barrier that needed repair, which was why he mentioned this to Zhurong. After all, what he had obtained was only the last bit of the Heaven Mending Barrier that hadn’t been used. If he was told that the quality wasn’t completely guaranteed, it would indeed make him panic.

His original intention was to ask Zhurong if its main body could sense that the Divine Court was under attack with current strength.

If it could sense it, Zhurong, who had a Beast Spirit Contract with Ye Chen, had the authority to tear down the Divine Court’s Heaven Mending Barrier and use it to repair and strengthen the barrier at the entrance between the Primitive Burial Ground and the main world.

However, Zhurong’s answer had clearly exceeded his expectations.

Regarding this, Zhurong shook its head. “You really know how to waste time.” It ridiculed, “The Heaven Mending Barrier doesn’t need to be repaired. It only needs to recognize the owner. Don’t you know about that?”

Ye Chen decided to automatically ignore the other party’s criticism.

“I’ve never heard of this before,” he answered truthfully, “I only know the race that made the Heaven Mending Barrier and the materials required.”

Indeed, there wasn’t much related information recorded in the system and the Wasteland Remembrance.

Hence, Ye Chen’s understanding of the treasure was limited to the fact that it was made from Spirit Stones with extremely pure Spiritual Energy. As for recognition of the owner, the system didn’t mention it, so he didn’t know about it either.

“In other words, you know that the Heaven Mending Barrier is made of Spirit Stones. Tell me, how does it look and feel?” Zhurong asked.

“It looks like a colorful rock and is a little soft to the touch…” Ye Chen recalled and said,” It seems to have a bit of a heat as well.” “That heat is my Spiritual Energy,” Zhurong explained.

“After I refined the Spirit Stones according to the ratio they calculated back then, I injected my Spiritual Energy into them. Therefore, the Heaven Mending Barrier isn’t hard. Instead, it can adjust the softness of its structure and extend. Although it is thin, it won’t shatter. It can also use its owner’s perception ability to selectively mobilize the internal Spiritual Energy and use the countering force to defend against external attacks. Therefore, as long as the barrier can identify the attribute of the opponent’s attack in advance, there is no risk of breaking.”

Ye Chen nodded.

Such dynamic defense could be considered quite smart. He couldn’t help but praise the cleverness of this group of mutated beasts.

Apart from this, he also recalled the perception between him and the Heaven Mending Barrier. It turned out that the obvious perception of attack wasn’t the alarm of the Heaven Mending Barrier, but the Heaven Mending Barrier using his perception. This made him feel much more relieved.

Zhurong continued explaining to him about the Heaven Mending Barrier.

“In fact, it can actually recognize more than one owner. The mutated beasts that participated in the refinement back then were all considered the owners of the Heaven Mending Barrier. As long as the descendants of these mutated beasts still exist in the world, the Heaven Mending Barrier will inherit their perception ability and continue working… And as one of the creators back then, my ability will greatly enhance its perception and flexibility. This kind of reinforcement method doesn’t require the replenishment of Spirit Stone at

all.”

Ye Chen finally understood completely. However, other than that, he seemed to have discovered something else.

“The mutated beasts that created the Heaven Mending Barrier back then seemed to have all gone into seclusion?” He couldn’t help but ask.

“That’s right. It’s all human’s fault,” Zhurong sighed and said, “After they obtained their powers, they began hunting down and rearing mutated beasts. Back then, the races that participated in the creation of the Heaven Mending Barrier were mutated beasts with relatively stronger abilities. As a result, they were targeted. If they didn’t go into seclusion, the number of races would decrease sharply, ultimately weakening the Heaven Mending Barrier’s perception. By then, the barrier will fail and the monsters from the outer universe will invade the world and everyone will die.”

Ye Chen gasped.

“Have you ever tried to expand the range of recognition?” he asked, “As far as I know, many high-level mutant beasts have already been killed. Only some young beasts are left. This will definitely affect it, right?”

“Of course I have. Why do you think I want to reach Nirvana?” Zhurong glanced at Ye Chen. “By reaching Nirvana, I can increase my lifespan. It’s precisely because the mutated beasts that were recognized as its owners began to weaken, I must myself younger so that I can regain the ability to return to the universe, allowing more races to be recognized by the barrier.”
