Chapter 1401: Extra Story—Bygone Past
The world is shaken!
The most powerful entities in the world have, within the same day, fully awakened from desolation, displaying unparalleled supreme might.
Yet these supreme entities all head towards the same location, seeking an audience with a certain existence!
…
Mu Qianning, Fire Spirit, Mu Wanqing, Wu Xiaokun, Yang Chu, Elder Grandson Changqing, and others have already gathered in the Kongshou Mountain Forest of Kaiyuan Prefecture.
After the sacred revival, everything here is recovering, with many powerful spiritual beasts appearing in the forest.
However, they do not disturb anything, and in an instant, arrive at the location of the originally small village.
They see the familiar small village.
“The small village… it’s restored!”
Mu Qianning speaks excitedly; the small village before her looks exactly the same as when she first entered it…
At that time, she was merely the Saintess of the Netherworld Mystical Heaven Sect of Lihuo, coming to the small village to resist the invasion of the Evil God.
Everything is the same.
The place she has visited countless times is restored.
“This must be due to Senior Li!”
Fire Spirit speaks with certainty and expectation, believing that only Senior Li could bring about such change to the world, restoring the Mortal Realm, which had fallen into mortality and silence, to a sacred revival.
“Let’s hurry to pay respects to him!”
Immediately, they head towards the small village.
“Hmm? Something’s not right!”
However, as they advance towards the small village, they find themselves unable to touch it.
“What’s going on? The small village is right in front of us, why can’t we touch it?”
“Clearly so close, are we being separated by something?”
“How is this possible?!”
Fire Spirit, Mu Qianning, and the others are shocked.
One must know, with the sacred tide already revived, their strength has returned to the fundamental laws, and they are regarded as the strongest in this world.
Neither space nor the river of time can hinder their distance.
“What separates us from the small village is not time or space, nor is it yin and yang, nor life and death.”
At this moment, a powerful voice is heard, with Huang Yan rising, in the endless samsara, a middle-aged man comes with his hands behind his back, his long hair casually draping over him, an indistinct shadow of a Taiji Diagram behind him, seemingly bearing the entirety of the world.
“Senior Black White.”
Mu Qianning and the others speak; the person arriving is indeed the former Lord of Samsara, Black White!
“I have been here for some time but found that I cannot touch, even using every Dao, evolving every method, there appears to be an invisible barrier between us and the small village, unable to cross a step.”
Black White speaks softly.
Upon hearing this, everyone is taken aback.
“Could this be Senior Li’s intention?”
Mu Wanqing opens her mouth, saying:
“He has returned but does not wish to be bothered with worldly affairs, desires to transcend with Sister Yunxi and them, so purposely set up a barrier?”
This is very likely.
Black White’s strength is unfathomable, definitely considered one of the most terrifying people in the world, yet even he cannot touch it, likely only Senior Li could accomplish this.
“No, it is not him!”
At this moment, an elderly voice sounds, the Divine Jumper has arrived.
With him are Ao Wushuang and Lu Cailing!
They all have arrived.
“Greetings, Senior Divine Witch.”
Fire Spirit and others speak, during many eras evolved in the Mortal Realm, they have seen the Divine Jumper and learned about his origin.
“Senior Divine Witch, is the boundary between us and the small village not set by Senior Li?”
Wu Xiaokun asks with confusion.
The Divine Jumper nods, looking at the small village, a complex expression in his eyes, and says:
“Black White is right; it is neither yin nor yang, nor life and death… Between us and the small village exists the boundary of illusion and reality!”
Illusion and reality!
Upon these words, many strong individuals present fall into contemplation.
“Illusion and reality? Is the small village real while we, are nonexistent illusion?”
Yang Chu’s face shows a hint of amazement.
“Perhaps the small village has never existed, it is fallacy, while this world is the reality?”
Elder Grandson Changqing is also reflecting.
Life and death, yin and yang, black and white… ultimately coexist on the same level, yet illusion and reality imply that between them and the small village, one side may not exist.
“This is the present world; we have been swept away by the sacred revival tide from the distant past, but to the present world, we are all departed spirits, unable to appear in this river of time.
This place does not belong to us.”
The Divine Jumper speaks, not looking at the small village but gazing at the universe and stars.
Ao Wushuang carries the Mortal Realm of “present world,” continuously rushing towards the “future,” avoiding the terrifying battles of the “past” river to prevent being affected.
Now, their epoch of time-space indeed touches the “future.”
But the “future” has turned into the present world, while they belong to the “past.”
“This is mispositioned time-space; escaped from a great calamity, yet halted before the present world’s barrier; we are all departed spirits.”
The Divine Witch continues to speak, at this moment he seems to realize something and says:
“I never understood why people of this era have no souls, now I know… because we are all merely departed spirits.”
“We are trapped in the mire of the past and cannot extricate ourselves. Something is unearthing the roots of the past, so Little Li came from the future and pushed everything aside.”
“But ultimately, we have already lost. Relative to the era Little Li originally belonged to, we are the departed past, shadows that should not exist, history, old scars, but not real, only existing in extinction.”
The Divine Jumper mumbled:
“And now, everything behind the past’s dam has been leveled by Little Li, so the sacred tide, from the source of the past, flows straight to the present, now obstructed by the dam of the present…”
“And the small village, because of Little Li’s existence, has become the only real place.”
“The departed past can no longer touch the real, this is the distance between reality and illusion, the boundary between the past and the present!”
The Divine Witch, one of the oldest powerful beings in the world, once fought side by side with Senior Li in the distant past.
He knows the most about the origin of the world.
“Yes… the entire Mortal Realm, the entire past covered by the sacred tide, cannot touch those cosmic stars.”
Ao Wushuang also suddenly spoke, he too observed the stars beyond the Mortal Realm, the universe remained silent.
When they thought they were in the present, constantly fleeing the great disaster of the past dam, rushing towards the future, upon arrival they had already become the past, and the future is the present.
The entire space-time and world cannot cross this boundary and distance.
“Have we all become silent?”
“Senior Li leveled the source of the great disaster, everything in the past was leveled, but we are ultimately the departed past… unable to touch the future again.”
“The sacred tide was cut off by the present.”
They murmured, at this moment, they all understood the words spoken by the Divine Jumper.
This is the most difficult causality in the world to cross, the most untouchable illusion.
For the universe of the present, they are history, the silent past!
Hard to touch the present, harder to touch the real!
“Having experienced all wars and glory, yet cannot change the fate of becoming the past…”
“We will all become the past, the future is right before us, but it is a chasm.”
“If silent, if turned to stone and sand, we would not feel this sadness, but why have we awakened…”
Someone felt melancholy, someone whispered.
They were all trapped in the past.
“Don’t panic… Little Li, he came from the future, he should be finding a way!”
Yet the Divine Jumper opened his mouth, eyes bright, and said:
“There is turmoil between the past, present, and future, hence the dam… this is a big problem, it must relate to something more terrifying, there was a great disaster in the past, what about the future? Little Li came from the future to our past, who will quell the disaster in the future?”
He didn’t know what he had thought of.
“There is a great upheaval!”
Suddenly, Black White raised his eyes, glancing over the vast Sky Vault, through endless causality.
At this moment, all the contemporary strong felt something.
They raised their eyes, but saw in the endless river of time, countless lost lights and shadows striving to cross!
All that was lost in the unknown chronological coordinates of the past, awakened by the sacred revival tide, uncountable past and history, unimaginable powerful beings and Departed Spirits, striving towards the present, layer upon layer, unimaginable.
“Beings behind the dam?!”
“An older space-time than the Immortal Path, not just one old space-time!”
“Behind the dam, so many terrifying existences… layers upon layers of origin, vast and endless, piled up into sacred old ruins!”
“The ancient past beyond the Immortal Path’s space-time, hidden behind the dam, has all been awakened… wanting to enter the present?”
Black White and others were shocked.
They were already the ultimate strong in this world, but this scene was still beyond their imagination.
What is behind the dam?
No one knows, once there was a generation of ultimate strong The Quiet One, guarding the dam for countless years, gazing beyond the dam.
Besides him, only Senior Li, who stepped beyond the dam.
When Ao Wushuang and the Divine Jumper ascended the dam, they could only catch a glimpse beyond the dam, far from seeing the terrifying truth behind it.
Now, everything seemed to be unfolding before the people, presenting as the departed past, as if a historical book was being opened.
Those are more ancient than the Immortal Path’s space-time civilizations’ origins, brilliant vast kingdoms and thriving life eras, layers upon layers, yet they all died and turned to ruins, born once in the ruin and history, seemingly something unimaginable, but now all disappeared, only the past piled up together being awakened.
Among those pasts, countless earth-shattering myths and legends, each epoch, with glories and past not inferior to the Immortal Path, Saint Path, Divine Path, etc. space-time.
“Was it these things behind the dam back then… hidden among them is something terrifying, severed the roots of the past, but now that thing has been leveled, only these old marks left, awakened by the sacred revival tide, lying before the invisible dam of the present!”
Black White spoke.
Everything became clear.
Behind the dam, is endless past, vast civilizations and brilliant human histories, lands of beings’ Pure Land, and gods and demons’ paradise.
But everything has turned to ruin and naught, past destroyed by unknown terrifying entities, the great disaster spreading.
And Senior Li from the Forbidden Time-Space flowed upstream, crossing the dam, leveling those terrifying things of the past, restoring the past to its original appearance.
Now, the entire era and world, reached the present, the past that died, and the Departed Spirits, all awakened, swept by the sacred tide, piled up together, yearning to enter the present.
…
This scene was astonishing, in the universe belonging to the present, overlapping with endless past, each layer of the past, longing to cross the limits of the present, enter the space-time of the present, but all were blocked.
Past and history, stacked outside the present!
And at this moment.
Suddenly, within the small village ahead, there were sounds of drums and gongs.
Across the unbridgeable boundary, Fire Spirit and others saw, in the small village, suddenly bustling with activity, actually seemed to be… hosting a wedding.
The sound of drums and gongs even resounded throughout the Mortal Realm, across the entire past era.
Those past and eras stacked together, countless awakening glorious civilizations, at this moment suddenly felt something, a pair of terrifying eyes seemed to gaze this way towards the small village!
…
