Against the Gods

"What...what else did you think of?"

Yun Che's soul sea stirred extremely violently this time, and even contained a hint of "fear".

Yun Che calmed down his mind for a long time, and then said slowly: "I have a... almost crazy guess, so crazy that it defies logic and common sense."

But it lingered in his heart and couldn't get rid of it.

Li Suo said: "Even so, it can shock you so much. It seems that there is a basis for 'madness'."

Yun Che calmed down and organized his words a little: "Do you remember the phenomenon unique to the abyss that the Queen grabbed from Mo Beichen's memory - the 'Black Tide of Time'?"

The Queen's description of the dark tide of time at that time was clearly reflected at this moment:

…

"Perhaps it is because it has broken away from the laws given by the ancestor god. The rotation of the time wheel of the abyss is not smooth. Sometimes it becomes fast and sometimes it becomes slow, just like the tide that rises and falls."

"To put it simply, the flow of time in the abyss will cycle between too fast and too slow."

"And if a world's time wheel begins to become chaotic, it means... that the entire order is about to collapse."

"Moreover, the black tide of time in the abyss is becoming more and more serious. At first, the black tide of time circulated once every few thousand years, and the degree of slowdown and acceleration was very small. After that, the circulation period was shortened every time,' The magnitude of the ebb and flow is also increasing.”

"The last cycle of the Black Tide of Time was only a short period of a hundred years, and the amplitude of its fluctuations was ten times astonishing."

…

"Remember." Li Suo said: "I still remember that the current world of the Abyss is in the rising tide of the black tide of time, and the flow rate of time is ten times that of the God Realm. The short fifty years left to you are the God Realm's. Five years.”

"Then, is there a possibility..." Yun Che lowered his voice and said: "The existence of the black tide of time is not due to the fact that the Queen has broken away from the law of the ancestors, but because someone has used some method to destroy... No. , or it may have absorbed the time power of the time wheel, causing the gradual collapse of the abyss time law. "

If there really is someone in the Abyss who has this ability, the most likely person is the Abyss Emperor, who is the most powerful, and the most likely source of support is the lost "magic bead" of the ancient demon clan.

And "cradle" is a concept of time that Li Suo said should not exist. If it really appeared, it would have to pay the price of extreme taboo.

Gradually destroying the law of time in a world... What a price, what a taboo.

"You mean, Emperor Yuan used that possible 'magic bead' to create the 'cradle' at the expense of destroying the law of time in this world?"

Li Suo thought briefly, but quickly said: "This idea is extremely unreasonable. The world of the Abyss was created by the Emperor of the Abyss, and he has been the only emperor of the Abyss from ancient times to the present. He should be the person who most hopes for the stability of the Abyss."

"There is no possibility, let alone reason, for him to pay the price of ruining the world in order to save the goddess of the One God Kingdom."

"No, no," Yun Che said: "Since the Hua Xin God knows that only the 'Cradle' can save the painted glass, it means that the 'Cradle' has actually existed for a long time... and may even have always existed."

"I saved Hua Caili, just by the way."

"Even you, the God of Creation, said that the existence of 'time stands still' is a taboo against heaven. So if it continues to exist, it may continue to destroy the time wheel of the abyss."

Li Suo couldn't agree: "If your guess is true, then what is Emperor Yuan's intention at such a ridiculous price just to create a 'cradle' where time stands still?"

"..." Yun Che exhaled heavily: "Good question."

Li Suo said: "Since you have no clue and call yourself 'crazy', why do you still have this thought and why are you trembling with fear?"

"Because just now... I also thought of another thing." Yun Che's tone was slow, and the memory from a few months ago was clear little by little: "In the Linshen realm, those words Linshen said before disappearing..."

…

"Your arrival is a surprise from heaven. Because I can finally repay the great kindness of the Elemental Creation God... I can finally go away with peace of mind."

"As for saving the Abyss...the collapse of the Abyss is irreversible. You can't save the Abyss, and no one can save the Abyss."

"You just need to remember that the abyss will surely collapse. [His persistence is the most terrifying thing in the world], and no one can reverse it. I have survived to this day, and I am just waiting for that day to come unwillingly and helplessly."

…

"His persistence is the most terrifying thing in the world...no one can reverse it..."

Yun Che repeated this sentence over and over again... because Lin Shen's evaluation of Emperor Yuan was completely different from all other rumors about Emperor Yuan that Yun Che knew.

No matter where people in the Abyss talk about Emperor Abyss, they all have endless admiration for him. Especially when it comes to painting colored glass, mentioning "Uncle Yuanhuang" will immediately show unadulterated respect and considerable intimacy.

Lin Shen was banished to the Lin Shen Realm by Emperor Yuan, and regularly sent Knights of the Abyss to monitor him. Could it be that it was not a clash of ideas, but... the knowledge of a taboo secret of Emperor Yuan?

For example...the nature and cost of "cradle"...

Just as Li Suo said, Yun Che also felt that his conjecture was indeed extremely ridiculous.

However, the magic beads, the cradle, the black tide of time, Linshen's words... were all connected together at that moment, and then left a mark on his heart. He rejected it with reason again and again, but it still lingered.

There seemed to be some kind of power or [a hint] leading him to believe this inexplicable and terrible speculation.

He thought... If this guess is really close to the truth, then, if it were me, for what reason, I would create a "cradle" that can stop time at the cost of the collapse of the entire world... …

After a long time, he didn't know if he had thought of any answer. He forcibly dismissed all these thoughts: "Forget it, this is not something that I should be distracted and confused about now."

"Moreover, if the black tide of time can completely break out as soon as possible, causing the abyss time wheel to completely collapse within the next fifty years... it will save me a lot of trouble."

Li Suo: "... Then you will disappear forever along with the abyss of collapse."

"It's okay to disappear." Yun Che said with an inexplicable smile: "It's just the right time to wash away your sins."

"..." Li Suo sensed that his words were not a casual joke.

"You must be disappointed." Li Suo said slowly: "This is, after all, a big world created by the Ancestral God. Even if the most basic laws of time collapse step by step, it will not completely collapse so easily. And before collapse, there will be First of all, there are various [catastrophes in the world]. Obviously, the abyss has not reached that level yet.”

"However, judging from the intensity of the current time wheel fluctuations (time black tide), the arrival of the disaster is extremely close. Maybe ten thousand years, maybe a thousand years... Even if it drops suddenly now, it will not surprise anyone."

Therefore, Emperor Yuan has been so eager to open the abyss passage to the God Realm in recent years.

Yun Che frowned fiercely and asked: "If the disaster of heaven and earth caused by the black tide of time comes, how long will it take for the abyss to completely collapse?"

Li Suo thought for a long time and then whispered: "Within a hundred years."

"...So fast!" Yun Che's heart was shocked.

The "world of destruction" and the "world of life" were created at the same time, and their existence has been so long that it cannot be traced back. The arrival of the Abyss Emperor turned the "World of Destruction" into the World of the Abyss, and it has been millions of years since then.

It is not a small planet or astral realm. Once such a huge world begins to collapse, it will only take just a few hundred years for it to collapse completely.

And Li Suo's next words made his soul strings tighten instantly.

"What I'm more worried about is that if this world collapses, the resulting dimensional storm and collapse of order... may affect another world."

A small world with hundreds of millions of creatures is just a speck of dust in a vast world, but the dimensional storm generated when it collapses is terrifying.

And if a huge world collapses...

"Or maybe I'm just unfounded."

As for the origin of the black tide of time, Yun Che only had a guess that he thought was "crazy".

But its existence has been a long-standing reality.

If disaster and collapse are destined to come, can the world he lives in really be immune to it?

…………

"Brother Yun, Brother Yun?"

Hua Caili's white fingers dangled in front of his eyes. Yun Che's eyes quickly returned to focus, and he stretched out his hand to hold the girl's hand. His hand was suddenly filled with warm mutton fat and jade.

"You seemed to be in a daze just now." Hua Caili tilted her cheeks and said deliberately not to suppress her voice: "Are you really scared by your aunt?"

Of course she couldn't have imagined what kind of storm the "cradle" she naturally mentioned when talking about her past would cause in Yun Che's sea of ​​soul.

"How is that possible?" Yun Che quickly defended as if he was terrified: "Senior Sword Immortal's name has been well known to me since my early years in the world. It is a blessing in my life to have the chance to meet each other. If Senior Sword Immortal hadn't saved me that day, I would have been He has already died at the claws of that abyssal evil beast, so I have nothing but gratitude and respect for Senior Sword Immortal.”

Hua Caili finally couldn't hold it back and made a "thump" sound.

She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Don't praise me, don't praise me. My aunt has a very cold temper. Even if you praise her for three more hours, she won't pay attention to you."

"I speak from the bottom of my heart." Yun Che said with a serious look on his face.

"Yes, yes." Hua Caili rubbed her cheek against Yun Che, showing her aunt her infatuation with him: "Let me tell you quietly, in fact, aunt is not at all the same as what is rumored outside."

"Huh?" Yun Che didn't seem to be very convenient with the interface.

Hua Caili slowed down her voice: "Auntie is called the Merciless Sword Fairy by many people. She herself said that she practiced the ruthless way of swordsmanship. But I know better than anyone else that my aunt is actually the gentlest and most serious person. She is a passionate person. She is called ruthless because in her early years, she was only infatuated with swords and was indifferent to other things, so she seemed so ruthless to outsiders. "

"But I have always known how well she treated me. She is my aunt and my master. As long as I leave the 'cradle' of the Pure Land, she will always be by my side during the nineteen years of my life, almost all the time. Never left."

"Your aunt treats you really well." Yun Che also sighed, but his hair was slightly numb.

In Hua Caili's previous life, Hua Qingying had always been by her side, overtly or covertly. In the future, wouldn't he also...

If you are always being stared at by such a terrifying woman, the pressure of acting will be doubled.

"I also know that my aunt always believed that if she had not been infatuated with the sword, but had taken the initiative to take over the inheritance of Zhetian Divine Kingdom, my mother would not have had the accident. Therefore, she has been taking the blame on herself all these years. "

"But my aunt is not wrong at all. Father God also said that the former god would rather he inherit the divine source. Even if my aunt takes the initiative, she may not get her wish. It's just that more than ten thousand years have passed, and my aunt is still... Moreover, in addition to these years, my aunt is not wrong at all. Apart from me, she has never wanted to spread any emotion to anyone else, and she has become even more 'heartless' in the eyes of the world."

"I really hope that my aunt will stop blaming me, but break out of this self-imposed shackles and pursue what I like...whether it's swordsmanship or people."

"..." Hua Qingying knew that Hua Caili's words were meant for her to listen to.

But... everyone can forgive her, but she can't forgive herself.

"It turns out, aunt... well, Senior Sword Immortal appears to be ruthless because he is too sincere." Yun Che sighed deeply, then suddenly raised his brows and asked in confusion: "What did you just say? ...The former god? Isn’t he your grandfather or uncle?”

Hua Caili's eyes were slightly complicated: "In terms of blood, the First God is indeed the biological father of my father and aunt, and my biological grandfather. However, neither my father nor my aunt allow me to call him 'grandfather', and Just like them, they are called 'Xian Shenzun'."

Yun Che looked shocked, but he already had a rough guess in his mind.

The calamity Hua Caili encountered as soon as she was born was probably...

If this is really the case, it is really scary to think about.

"It seems that something special must have happened back then." Yun Che said: "Your father and aunt refused to tell you, so naturally it was because of what you thought. When you grow up in the future, they will tell you everything in detail. ”

Hua Caili didn't care, however, and rubbed her whole body against Yun Che in various ways: "It's not important anymore. After being with Brother Yun, I just feel so happy and satisfied every moment. Whatever happened in the past, it doesn’t matter anymore.”

"Father God has always taught me that the relationship between men and women is as gentle as water. It is best if God Son Senluo and I always respect each other. Father God is indeed lying to me."

Your father is not lying to you, he just hopes that you will live a peaceful life... Yun Che said this in his heart, then hugged the girl in his arms, straightened his upper body slightly: "Let's not talk about it for now, your internal injuries have just begun to shake. , I will heal you early today."

"Okay." She responded obediently, but still clung to Yun Che's body and refused to come down: "Brother Yun, I suffered an internal injury just now. I have almost no strength now. Just help me heal like this, okay?"

Yun Che smiled helplessly and put his hands on her slender waist: "Okay, okay, I knew it would be like this again."

"Hey, Brother Yun is the best to me." The girl closed her beautiful eyes and leaned on Yun Che's chest with a pure and innocent smile, like a beautiful banished immortal who fell into the mortal world but never wanted to go back.

"..." Hua Qingying frowned deeply.

Hua Caili possesses unparalleled talents in mysticism and swordsmanship. If she indulges in the love between a man and a woman, it will inevitably cause immeasurable damage to her cultivation and future.

No matter what, she must speak out.

Yun Che raised his hand, and the light profound energy shone between his fingers, and then lightly covered the painted glass body.

Hua Qingying also sent a message at this time: "Cai Li, do you know that you are now..."

As soon as she finished speaking, her beautiful face suddenly changed slightly, and an unbelievable light suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Yun Che's movements also suddenly stopped at this moment.

Around Hua Caili, vortexes of profound energy suddenly appeared one after another, causing her long hair to flutter in the wind.

But in an instant, these profound energy vortexes had increased several times, and they were increasing crazily every moment.

Hua Caili opened her eyes, straightened up, raised her hand to feel the violently trembling profound veins and the gradually out-of-control profound energy, and said to herself in astonishment: "Huh? Do I want to..."

"Back off!"

A wave of mysterious energy that was not gentle brushed towards Yun Che and instantly repeled him several miles away.

Hua Qingying's figure was like a fairy coming down. She flicked her fingers, and a huge sword formation barrier was formed around her. Another stream of mysterious energy was extremely careful to ease the increasingly violent and unbalanced aura around Hua Qingying:

"Cai Li, put away all your senses, concentrate and meditate with all your strength, you are about to achieve a great breakthrough!"

"With me by your side, you must be focused!"

Her cold voice quickly brought Hua Caili's heart and soul back to extreme clarity. She quickly concentrated her mind, got rid of external thoughts, and sensed and guided the transformation of her own aura.

Hua Qingying's heart was far less calm than her expression and voice.

Even still a little unbelievable.

In this trial, her highest expectation for painting colored glass is that she can find an opportunity for breakthrough. Even if it is just a small ray of insight, it is already a huge gain.

The abyss is a common knowledge that everyone knows: in the realm of Xuan Dao, the most difficult thing to cross is the gap from the half-step divine annihilation realm to the divine annihilation realm.

The existence of the special concept of "half-step to the realm of divine annihilation" is to comfort those too many profound practitioners who will never be able to cross the chasm in their entire lives, and to give them the comfort of having half a foot in the realm of divine annihilation... But in reality it is a world of difference. Don't.

She never expected that painting colored glass would lead to a breakthrough.

And when she completes her breakthrough this time, she will reach the realm of demigods!

Nineteen-year-old demigod...

Going back to the earliest days of the Abyss, there has never been one.
