Against the Gods

Absolute...still...space! ?

This is a concept that does not exist in Yun Che's cognition at all.

According to Hua Caili, although she was born ten thousand years ago, the real time flowing through her body is only nineteen years. For the rest of the years, she was in a sealed state?

No! Sealing and absolute stillness are two completely different concepts.

The latter... after careful consideration, it is actually separated from time, from everything in the world, and exists in a world of "nothingness" that is free from everything.

It is rare to see Yun Che's shocked expression, but in Hua Caili's eyes, it is particularly cute: "This is one of the biggest secrets of the Pure Land. In our Zhetian Divine Kingdom, only Father God, Auntie and I know about it. The explanation to the outside world is that Grandma Lingxian sealed my body in her temple with a special Shinto ice, and never mentioned the existence of the 'cradle'."

Hua Qingying raised her hand and touched her eyebrows... Knowing that it was such a big secret, she actually told an outsider directly.

Yun Che stared at Hua Caili for a long time. Just when Hua Caili thought he was shocked by the "absolute still space", he squeezed out a few words with some difficulty: "You are only... nineteen years old?"

Younger than Yun Wuxin...

"Yes."

The girl raised her hand to her cheek, her face showing a coquettish and mischievous look: "You took the initiative to call me sister, I didn't force you, hehe."

Nineteen years old...

Half-step to the realm of God's annihilation...

Hiss...

Even with Yun Che's unique holy body that transcends all living beings, it is impossible not to be secretly shocked.

Under such appearance and temperament, there is such an unimaginable peerless demon. Even before this moment, he absolutely dared not put the two concepts of "nineteen years old" and "half-step to God's annihilation" together.

Based on his current understanding of the power level of the abyss, I am afraid that no one in the entire abyss can compare with her.

Future achievements are unimaginable.

The one he kidnapped this time was probably not just a goddess of the Kingdom of God, but a woman who would shake up the history of the Abyss.

However, while he was shocked, many of his previous doubts were also solved.

He finally understood why her temperament was so innocent and why her experience was so shallow... It turned out that she was only nineteen years old.

He ignored her teasing and said with concern: "Why do you need such a long "sleep"? Is it because of what you said before... the death disaster you encountered when you were born?"

"Yes." Hua Caili nodded. The first thing he asked about was not the cradle that anyone would be amazed at, but her safety. The eagerness in his eyes was almost overflowing, which made her very happy: "My mother passed away on the day I was born, and 'Qu' is my mother's surname."

"Why did she die?" Yun Che asked.

Hua Caili's eyes dimmed, and she said in a low voice: "Father God said that it was because of a serious illness... But I know it's not. But no matter how I asked, Father God and aunt refused to tell me."

Hua Qingying: "..."

"Father God said that because of my mother's 'serious illness', when I was born, my meridians were all injured, my innate profound veins were broken, and even my soul was completely separated... If it weren't for the Heavenly Prayer Jade carried by Father God and aunt, I would have died that day."

"But the Heavenly Prayer Jade can only save my life for a while. If you want me to live and heal my meridians, profound veins, and soul, there is only one way."

"The healing of the power of the true god and the soul of the true god."

"And the source of this power of the true god and the soul of the true god must be the closest direct blood relatives. That is, biological parents or brothers and sisters with the same father and mother."

Hua Qingying slowly closed her eyes, stopping the flash of the scene from that year.

"..." Yun Che's eyebrows moved slightly.

"My mother 'died of illness', and I have no brothers or sisters with the same father and mother. The only one who can save me is my father... and he must be a father who has achieved the status of a true god."

"And this kind of 'recovery' is not achieved overnight. Its essence is actually a sacrifice of one's own vitality and soul. Even if it is the body and soul of a true god, if too much is sacrificed at one time, it will cause irreversible permanent damage, and the sacrificed person will also find it difficult to bear."

At this point, Yun Che has understood the general idea.

"So, Father God took me to the Pure Land and asked to put me in the 'cradle'... After finally getting the approval of Uncle Yuanhuang, Father God returned to Zhetian Divine Kingdom, inherited the divine source, and became the new God."

"After integrating the divine source of Zhetian and becoming a true god, Father God took me out of the cradle and healed me. Every time he heals me, he can keep me safe for a year, and my meridians, mystical veins, and soul are the same as when they were complete. And he needs at least 500 years to recover."

"In this way, every 500 years, Father God will come to the Pure Land to heal me once, and then put me Bring her back to Zhetian Divine Kingdom, and send her back a year later... Just like that, unknowingly, more than 10,000 years have passed. "

"But in my world, it feels like only 19 years have passed."

"I see." Yun Che held her slender waist with both hands, his face full of pity: "You have suffered such a disaster since you were born, and I was unable to protect you at that time."

He exhaled lightly, his voice carrying a bit of emptiness: "In other words, at most a few months, you will have to return to the "cradle" of the Pure Land, and then... we won't be able to see each other again for more than 500 years?"

“No.” Seeing Yun Che’s obviously suppressed sense of loss, she leaned over to hug him, her lips against his cheek: “Just nine months ago, Father God completed the last tempering of me, and also made my meridians, profound veins, and soul body completely complete, and no longer needed Father God’s sacrifice.”

“When I left the Pure Land for the last time, Lingxian Granny gave me a sea of ​​colorful clouds and flowers to celebrate my recovery. So, I met you at the best time... Brother Yun.”

This soft call, jade lips against the ear, soft and tender to the bone.

She has called many "brothers" in her life. After all, although she was born early, she was very young. But it was exactly the same words, and it was obviously an ordinary name. When she called it out at this moment, she suddenly felt her heartbeat quicken and her cheeks warm... She buried her delicate head deeply in Yun Che’s neck and didn’t look into his eyes for a long time.

Hua Caili, who was lying on Yun Che's chest, clearly felt that he relaxed all of a sudden, and her voice was no longer empty as before: "You scared me... It seems that it is really God's blessing that I meet you at this time."

"Although I am alone and helpless, powerless and weak, but..." He hugged the girl tightly in his arms, raised his head slightly, and said every word firmly: "I will do my best to protect you in the rest of your life."

"Yes." Hua Caili closed her eyes and responded softly, saying something similar to him in her heart: I will also do my best to protect you... no matter what you have to face.

"Hmm? You believe me so much?" Yun Che smiled: "You are the most noble goddess of the kingdom of God, and I don't even have a background. Aren't you afraid that I have always been a liar with bad intentions?"

"Liar? Hmm..." She pretended to think seriously: "What on earth does a liar who saves me at the risk of his life again and again want to deceive me about?"

"I am yours now, my heart is yours, and my life is yours." Her voice was charming and serious: "What else do you want to deceive me about? Tell me, I can give you everything."

"..." Yun Che's eyes were stunned for a very short time.

Then, he asked again: "What if one day... I do something to hurt you?"

The girl in his arms stagnated her breathing, and she suddenly lifted her delicate head from his neck, her hands wrapped around his neck more tightly, her bright eyes staring straight at him, her lips curled up with unhappiness: "You... you won't sneak away again, will you? You have promised so many times."

"No, no." Yun Che immediately shook his head and denied: "I'm just worried... maybe one day I will do something too much and hurt you..."

Hua Caili was relieved and resumed her charming smile: "As long as you don't leave, no matter what you do, I won't really blame you... and I don't believe you will hurt me."

"Besides..." Her voice suddenly became smaller, and she said softly: "You have done the most excessive things to me."

As she spoke, she pressed her lips forward and bit his neck lightly, leaving a shallow tooth mark.

Yun Che didn't speak again, only his chest rose and fell slightly several times. The arm holding the girl tightened slightly, and then loosened slightly.

Although she had woken up, Hua Caili was still reluctant to get up, and Yun Che let her be so lazy.

After a long while of being together, Yun Che asked: "Is the cradle of the Pure Land a particularly magical place beyond imagination?"

Although it obviously touched on secret taboos, it would not be strange for anyone to be unable to restrain their curiosity and ask questions about things beyond cognition.

Hua Caili said: "Actually, I don't know what the 'cradle' looks like."

Yun Che: "......?"

"Every time before entering the 'cradle', I faced a closed barrier. Then Uncle Yuanhuang asked me to close my eyes... at most one breath, and Uncle Yuanhuang would let me open my eyes again."

"For me, it was just a very short time of closing and opening my eyes, but when I opened my eyes, I was facing the world more than 500 years later."

Because of "absolute stillness", she knew nothing about the years she spent in the "cradle".

"I really... didn't feel anything?" Yun Che whispered. Because only "not feeling anything" can prove that it is indeed "absolute stillness".

But... does the concept of "time stillness" really exist?

"Well, I didn't feel anything at all." Hua Caili explained without reservation: "One time, I secretly held a flower petal in my palm, and just blinked my eyes, and turned around to face the Father God more than 500 years later."

"And the flower petal in my hand did not change at all, even the position and size of the dew on it were exactly the same."

Yun Che sighed: "There is such a magical place in the world."

Then, he asked naturally: "How can this 'absolute stillness space' be created? Even my master has never mentioned such an amazing existence."

Hua Caili thought for a while and said: "Of course I don't know. But the Father God seems to have said..."

"Cai Li, the secret of the Pure Land cannot be said."

Hua Qingying finally couldn't bear it anymore, and a line of cold sound went straight into Hua Caili's ears.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Hua Caili stuck out her tongue and whispered, "Auntie is stingy and won't let me talk."

Hua Qingying: "..."

Yun Che quickly adjusted his sitting position. He said sternly: "Aunt... what our seniors taught us is this. There are no rumors or records of the Abyss that mention the existence of a 'cradle'. This must be the secret of the Pure Land, and I shouldn't ask more questions."

"Yeah, I listen to my aunt the most." Hua Caili also nodded and promised, then she put her lips to Yun Che and said in a very low voice that she thought her aunt couldn't hear: "Next time my aunt is gone, I will secretly Tell you."

Hua Qingying: "~!@#￥%..."

"Uh..." Yun Che wisely shut up and didn't ask any more questions for a long time.

But the waves in his heart continued to surge.

After pondering for a long time, he asked in his soul voice: "Li Suo, how much do you know about the Eternal Sky Pearl?"

Li Suo knew what he was going to ask and said directly: "It is incomplete. But I am convinced that it is impossible for the Eternal Sky Pearl to achieve the absolute stillness of time."

Yun Che frowned slightly: "Are you sure you can't?"

Li Suo said: "The Eternal Sky Pearl's interference with time only lies in its own unique space, the Eternal Sky Divine Realm. It can compress or expand the laws of time in the Eternal Sky Divine Realm, thereby realizing the flow of time faster or slower than the outside world. ”

"But no matter what, even if the law of time is compressed to the extreme, causing the flow of time to be extremely slow, it is still flowing continuously and cannot be stopped, let alone reversed."

"Because both 'time stands still' and 'time flows backward' are reverse phenomena that completely violate the laws of time. They should not exist, let alone exist."

Yun Che thought for a while and then said: "But the time of the world has indeed flowed backwards..."

"I know." Li Suo didn't show any surprise: "I listened to the whole conversation between you and the Ancestral God. She once went against the flow of time to save you and create a 'weapon of destiny' for you. But... that was The Ancestral God is the maker of all laws of chaos."

"But even the Ancestral God cannot violate many existing rules. She also paid a huge price when she reversed time."

Yun Che knew what that price was.

"But under the Ancestral God, it is impossible for 'time to stand still'."

Derived from his understanding of the law of time, Li Suo's words were unequivocal.

"However, there is a cradle with 'absolute still space' in the Pure Land." Yun Che pondered: "Do you think what Hua Caili said is a lie or an exaggeration?"

Li Suo couldn't answer and stayed silent for a long time.

The shock in Yun Che's heart became even more severe.

Because the cradle in Hua Caili's mouth actually transcends the cognition of a creator god (who is semi-amnesiac).

What even the most powerful time weapon, the Eternal Sky Pearl, cannot do, why can it be done in the Pure Land...

Wait...a time vessel?

"What did you think of?" Li Suo felt the excitement in his soul.

Yun Che pondered while saying, "Do you still remember the 'Dark Mirror' and 'Devil Pearl' that the Demon Queen learned from the ancient memory of the Nirvana Demon Soul before I fell into the abyss?"

"I know something about it." Li Suo whispered: "But I can't remember their names. After all, they are the magic weapons of the demon clan."

"Their names are not important." Yun Che's voice gradually became heavier: "The Demon Queen caught a brief glimpse of the mirror light in Mo Beichen's memory. She suspected that what Emperor Yuan used to open the passage to the abyss was the lost ancient demon clan. The 'Dark Mirror', and the 'Magic Pearl' lost together with the 'Deep Mirror', is probably also in the abyss."

"At the same time, due to the balance between the weapons of the gods and the weapons of the demons, the Queen judged that the 'magic bead' is likely to be a time magic weapon."

Li Suo understood what he meant: "So, do you think that the lost 'Magic Pearl' is also in Emperor Yuan's hands, and used it to create the 'Cradle'?"

After being silent for a long time, Yun Che replied slowly: "This is the possibility that I can think of at the moment."

only……

The Eternal Sky Pearl ranks fourth among Xuantian's treasures.

Even though the "Magic Pearl" is an instrument of time on the same level as the Eternal Sky Pearl, since it is not among the seven greatest treasures, it means that its comprehensive time power must be weaker than that of the Eternal Sky Pearl.

How can it achieve the "stopping of time" that even the Eternal Sky Pearl cannot achieve?

At this time, Li Suo suddenly said: "If 'time stops' is really achieved, it must not be a method within the laws of time and the rules of heaven."

"Going against heaven and tearing apart taboos... you must pay an extremely heavy price."

"The price?" Yun Che faintly sneered: "The Abyss Emperor created the world of the Abyss and has survived to this day. His power, status, and reputation are all at the top of the world, and he is intimidating the Abyss in ancient and modern times. The Pure Land is the 'fairyland' of this world, why? No matter what the cost..."

His voice stopped abruptly.

These four short words thundered in his soul...

It has appeared since a long time ago, and its fluctuations are getting more and more violent, which indicates that the time wheel of the abyss is about to collapse, and the entire abyss is about to collapse...

Black tide of time!
