A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 280: Echoes in Silence
At the edge of the universe, the place closest to chaos, the ancient Taichu mine that was moved here from the Big Dipper star field is floating here.

The disciples and clansmen of all the supreme beings are now in the Chaos Creation Star Field that has been opened up in front of the Taichu Ancient Mine, earning Xuanhuang Merit.

In a star field waiting to be developed near an ancient mine, a girl who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old was wielding holy power, adjusting the orbit of a star that had just gathered.

After completing the creation of the stars, she frowned and complained to the orange bear beside her, "Brother Da Huang, when do you think the ancestors and the supreme beings will be able to come back? Without the ancestors to refine the chaos and derive the essence of the universe, our creation of the star field is too slow."

The orange bear curled his lips, took out a watermelon, broke it open, took a bite, and said vaguely, "Don't call me Da Huang, call me by my Taoist name, Zhen Yue. And Sister Wuliang, please don't complain to me anymore, how can I know when the ancestors and grandparents will be back?"

"But the ancestors and supreme beings have been gone for thousands of years. With their strength, even if it is a very difficult matter, they should have been able to handle it after so long. I guess they are heading back now, right?"

Looking at the orange bear eating the melon very sweetly, the girl's mood became even worse. Suddenly, she wanted to grab this senior brother and throw him at the star next to her, rubbing him hard.

Wuliang looked very unfriendly. He looked at Senior Brother Zhenyue beside him and thought to himself, "If I punch this big bear, it will surely howl for a long time, right?"

Just when she was about to take action, she suddenly remembered the stars that she had created with great difficulty, and the ray of mysterious merit that had just been bestowed upon her by heaven and earth, and the urge to punch was abruptly stopped.

Wuliang was reluctant to give up that bit of Xuanhuang merit. If she really destroyed the stars that she had just created, the heaven and earth would definitely take back the Xuanhuang merit that she had just given her.

Just when Wuliang was thinking about how to teach her "lazy and greedy" senior brother Zhenyue a lesson, a hairpin with the law of the extreme suddenly split open the void and appeared in front of her, bringing a message from the fairy.

[Wulian disciple, we Supremes need to deal with a powerful enemy next, and temporarily have no time to come to the edge of the universe to open up the chaos. Now that the suppression of the great way of the universe has passed, if it is feasible, you need to achieve the ultimate way as soon as possible.]
Wuliang was stunned by this information. She could never have imagined that after waiting for a thousand years, this would be the result. Although she was a little happy that she didn't have to create stars anymore, the enemy her master mentioned made her heart jump.

Gradually, Wuliang looked at the information and fell into deep thought, then looked at Senior Brother Zhenyue beside him.

"Da Huang, what level of enemy do you think can be called the Master's great enemy?"

The big orange bear stopped eating the melon and looked at Wuliang with a confused look on his face, as if he didn't understand what she was saying at all.

"Forget it. You are such a lazy guy that I can't trust you at all. Pack up and get ready to travel the starry sky with me. I am going to look for an opportunity to break through."

The girl pinched the orange bear's neck with one hand and began to fly towards her own sect's base, ready to report to the sect.

Unlike the girl who was just a little annoyed, the atmosphere outside the altar had completely frozen.

It was such a horrible thing that hundreds of incarnations of the Supreme Being died at the same time without any resistance.

If they had not gone as incarnations, and the attacking forces that affected their original bodies had been completely blocked by the will of the universe, the phenomenon of the fall might have covered the entire universe, causing great turmoil.

This is a blessing in misfortune.

As for the Xuanhuang merits owed to the will of the universe, although the amount was so large that the Supremes were embarrassed, they could accept it. At most, they would work for the universe for free for 100,000 years in the future.

Besides, they were not without gain. According to the accumulation and talents of many supreme beings, under the pressure of life and death, their cultivation and strength had more or less achieved breakthroughs. At this moment, at least half of the combat power of the incarnation condensed could be regarded as having completely entered the realm of the Heavenly Venerate and stood firm in it.

Looking at the terrifying aftermath in the altar that had not yet dissipated, and the cracks on the starlight seal, the expressions of hundreds of supreme beings were extremely ugly.

Tai Wu asked the nearby Supremes in a deep voice, "Have you informed the Supremes in the clans and tribes? We need new Supremes to help us."

The fairy nodded and responded, "I have already notified them."

Bai He also nodded in response, but his expression was somewhat ashamed, "I have already notified them, but our clan is a bit short of successors right now. I am afraid that even the most outstanding one among them will have difficulty achieving another kind of enlightenment after living a second life."

Bajiu recalled the little kid in his family who loved to eat watermelons and shook his head. "It's the same with my clan. Maybe I protected them too much. They are really short of successors now. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to achieve enlightenment in a different way after living a second life."

An old Taoist in the Sea of ​​Samsara also frowned, "It is the same situation in my sect. If the younger generation wants to break through to the alternative path of enlightenment, they probably need to live a second life. It is difficult for them to have the ultimate strength in a short period of time. It is basically impossible to expect them to enter the realm of Heavenly Venerate without hundreds of thousands of years of hard training."

The fat old Taoist thought of the Holy Master of his own Taoist school and said slowly, "The situation of my Taoist school is better. We already have an alternative Taoist who has the combat power of the second life. But it will take a long time for him to have the combat power of a Heavenly Venerable."

"."

Listening to the replies from many supreme beings, Taiwu Tianzun also thought of Jiang Chen with a worried look on his face. However, his current strength has not even reached the combat power of the Second Generation, so he can basically not be relied on.

He stared at the altar for a long time and sighed, "Let your sect and clan devote all their efforts to cultivating the ultimate seedlings. I'm afraid this invasion will not end easily."

A young Taoist from the Heaven Burial Island asked Taiwu, "Fellow Daoist Taiwu, have you figured out any secrets?"

Tai Wu shook his head. "I just had this sudden premonition, not that I have discovered any secrets."

Lingxi said with certainty, "The premonition of the divine fortune teller is enough to be regarded as an inference close to the secrets of heaven. We need to be prepared for a long-term battle."

After a moment of silence.

Feishu looked at the surging immortal power on the altar and said hesitantly, "Have you sensed the figures of Zhulong and Jiemie? They are not still in the altar, are they? At this moment, the altar is full of the aftermath of the big hand. They won't..."

After listening to Fei Shu's words, Tai Wu glanced in the direction of Dong Xuan Star Region and said in a positive tone, "Don't worry, they should be fine. If Jie Mie was in trouble, Ling Bao Tian Zun would have come here with Qing Ping Sword in hand. After all, he is the only descendant of Dong Xuan Sect."

. . .

In fact, the current condition of Li Xiang and Zhu Qing is far from being fine. They are almost completely dead.

Although the power of that palm was only a casual attack of the quasi-immortal king level, and it was weakened a lot after passing through the portal, the power within it was not something that human life could easily withstand, at least Zhu Qing could not withstand it.

If he hadn't learned the good habit of "putting life first" from Li Xiang, and hadn't spent tens of thousands of years figuring out a life-saving method using the [River of Time·Heaven-Covering Universe Branch] after entering the Tianzun realm, he wouldn't have had even a slight chance of survival. However, Zhu Qing's current state, even if he didn't die, was basically the same as dying.

At this moment, a wisp of Zhu Qing's soul is floating in the [Long River of Time·Branch of the Heaven-Chushing Universe]. The rhythm of time that permeates the long river of time is constantly eroding him, trying to turn him into nothingness completely.

If he was not a member of the Zhulong clan who was close to the laws of time and years, and who took time as his foundation, and had a level of Taoism that was close to that of an early True Immortal.

When this wisp of soul came into contact with the river of time using a life-saving method, it would be impossible for it to survive until now.

"It's terrible. When I created this life-saving method, I never thought that there would be such an extreme situation where only a trace of soul is left. It was no problem when I had a physical body, but now I want to use myself as a fulcrum to leverage the power of time to recover, and it's difficult to do it."

"I wanted to use the long river of time to restore myself with just a wisp of my soul and live another life. Now I can't do it at all. Am I just going to wait for death?"

At this moment, Zhu Qing suddenly saw a figure from the future going up against the long river of time. Although this figure was wrapped in gray mist, he could clearly sense the Taoism it exuded.

The unusual and strange rhyme of Taoism emanating from that figure actually made him completely blend into the long river of time. It was as if he was not swimming upstream, but that he was actually in the corresponding time segment.

It seemed that for this figure, there was no past and no future. Or, in other words, the past and the future were both "present" to him. The past, present, and future were like the three different components of the cycle of time.

"This"

Sensing such an unreasonable scene, Zhu Qing actually fell into a strange realization.

"The past that has already disappeared can be 'now', and the future that has not yet been touched can also be 'now'."

“Time passes, but the present remains unchanged.”

"Time is like water, without beginning or end, just like a cycle."

As the wisp of Zhu Qing's soul remaining in the [Long River of Time·Heaven-Chushing Universe Branch] became weaker and weaker, and his sense of existence became thinner, he could feel the mystery of the "present" in time more and more.

Zhu Qing discovered that the laws of time he had understood in the past were incomplete. He thought that he had already comprehended the mysteries of the past, future and present, and even connected and merged into one.

But until now, seeing the figure wrapped in gray fog and feeling its natural charm, Zhu Qing finally realized that what he thought was just what he thought, and his law of time was not really complete.

At this moment, with his extremely weak sense of existence caused by being extremely close to death, Zhu Qing seemed to have a comprehensive understanding of time.

When he fully understood the "present" and truly perfected his own law of time, the figure had completely disappeared, as if heading towards an extremely distant ancient era, leaving only a series of dark yellow footprints remaining in the long river of time.

"Thank you, senior!"

Zhu Qing bowed deeply in the direction that figure left. He didn't know who that figure was, nor how powerful he was. But the Dao rhyme emanating from his body directly perfected his own laws, and at this moment, it undoubtedly saved his life.

Therefore, regardless of whether this figure had any plans or not, Zhu Qing accepted the cause and effect.

After the perfection of Zhu Qing's Law of Time, the time rhythm emanating from the long river of time could no longer cause any erosion to his remnant soul. As long as he did not violate some taboos and bring about the cause and effect of time, this incomplete soul could survive like a fish in the sea.

"Come."

Zhu Qing stretched out his hand towards [The Long River of Time·The Branch of the Heaven-Covering Universe], and the power of the past was brought in by the Long River of Time, poured into his own broken soul, and began to repair it. The power of the future was introduced one after another, bringing it vitality, supporting its own transformation here, and living a new life!
At the same time, when Zhu Qing was transforming, Li Xiang fell into a situation that was difficult to extricate himself from. It was even worse than the situation where Zhu Qing only had a wisp of incomplete soul left.
He was truly "dead", completely "entered into Nirvana", without a trace of life, only a few dreamlike thoughts floating in the universe.

"It's so quiet, so dark, is this death?"

"I can't see anything, I can't hear anything, even my thoughts are cut off."

Li Xiang's thoughts became more and more fragmented and empty, and the speed at which these thoughts dissipated was accelerating.

However, this fate seemed to be arranged by coincidence. When his thoughts were almost completely scattered, he drifted to a life star, which was shaped by him personally ten thousand years ago.

"Great God, may you live a happy life."

"Great God, may you have a good harvest every year."

"Great God, may you be healthy and live a long life."

After tens of thousands of years, life seems to have appeared here.

At this moment, a group of mortals without any cultivation were in a temple, worshipping and burning incense to a statue, offering their most sincere prayers to the god who shaped the stars for them and gave them living space.

"I hope you can attain the great Dao and become an immortal."

The monk Lunhai, who was near the temple, not only did not stop it when he saw it, but he even bowed slightly to the statue, as if he was also sending it his most sincere blessings.

When looking closely at the statue, his face seems to be somewhat like Li Xiang. Although the facial features are slightly different from his, the charm he had when he created all things is extremely similar.

The existence of this statue was like an anchor. It firmly fixed Li Xiang's thoughts that were about to completely dissipate, and slowly stabilized them.

At the same time, the sincere prayers of the mortals and the blessings of the monk Lunhai began to echo in Li Xiang's ears. Like a life-saving straw, it pulled his body, which was sinking into nothingness, and made him listen to the "light" with warmth in the dark and silent silence.

This is the reason why Li Xiang stayed in the mortal world!
This is the echo in the nothingness and silence!
