Outside of Time - Chapter 1292

Chapter 1270 Traces of the Whole Situation

Xu Qing knew very well that his current goal was not to kill, but to leave.

If this True Yi Clan dwarf chose to avoid battle and activate teleportation, then even though Xu Qing’s personality was ruthless, he would still weigh the options and prioritize leaving.

After all, that was his earliest plan, and also the most suitable path to return to the Fifth Star Ring.

Another reason was that in this world, the True Yi Clan’s True God was undergoing fusion and could awaken at any moment, so for Xu Qing, the longer it went on, the more disadvantageous it would be, posing a huge crisis. Furthermore,

when he attacked earlier, he had secretly tried spatial techniques, but this place was isolated, and he couldn’t teleport out on his own.

To leave, the only option was for the other party to open the door.

However, with the connection of the True God present, Xu Qing understood that even if he subdued the dwarf, he wasn’t confident he could successfully search his soul to obtain the method of departure.

Therefore, the most perfect outcome was for the other party to avoid battle. Thus

, his words were not only directed at the dwarf, but also at… the black fleshy ball in the sky!

But often, judgments about things differ from one life to another, and it’s hard to say whether they are wise or foolish. Different perspectives lead to different views.

So, in the next instant, the black fleshy sphere in the sky suddenly trembled, and in a flash, a vortex appeared in the void beside it.

That vortex emitted the aura of the outside world…

it was the exit!

Compared to other beings, the one who clearly didn’t want this place to continue in chaos was the True God of the True Yi Clan!

To Him, Xu Qing was of great value, but since His own people couldn’t end things quickly, in His current state, He would naturally choose to let Xu Qing leave.

This would eliminate the variables here, making His devouring and fusion smoother.

“Ancestral God!”

In mid-air, the dwarf god felt a surge of anxiety. He didn’t want Xu Qing to leave; in his heart, Xu Qing… was even more valuable!

Xu Qing, meanwhile, had a slight glint in his eyes, also wondering if the exit was real. But now, decisiveness was needed, so he gritted his teeth and rushed out, heading straight for the exit.

But… just as Xu Qing approached the exit vortex at astonishing speed, another anomaly occurred!

The mountains roared, countless withered trees swayed, and the earth’s deity unleashed its divine power, forming a vast storm that covered the exit.

The exit shattered instantly, ceasing to exist.

The lingering shockwaves forced Xu Qing to retreat, his face instantly darkening, while the shockwaves transformed into booming divine thoughts that echoed back.

“Young immortal cultivator, this exit is a trap! It intends to harm you!

Help me, and after I successfully suppress this enemy god, I will help you leave!”

While the one who most wanted Xu Qing to leave was the True Yi Clan deity, the one who least wanted him to leave… wasn’t the dwarf, but… the earth deity here who had fought the True Yi True God for countless years and now faced the crisis of being devoured and merged.

The more chaotic the place, the greater its opportunity; Xu Qing’s appearance gave it a chance to turn the tide!

Therefore, it intervened, and a full-scale battle erupted between it and the True Yi True God of the Azure Sky.

The world was thrown into chaos instantly, with even more blood rain and more deafening roars. Amidst

the blood rain, a hoarse divine thought emanated.

“He doesn’t want you to leave. You come to help me suppress this enemy, giving me another chance to open the exit for you.”

In mid-air, Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, his gaze flashing.

The earth rumbled, and the divine thought surged.

“He’s lying to you. If you step into that exit, you’ll surely die. He currently holds the advantage and cannot allow outside attention to be drawn. After all, you are just one variable, and attracting outside attention… will create even more variables!”

“Don’t listen to him. Under other circumstances, I would never let you leave, but now your departure is most advantageous to me. I will make this covenant in my true name and will not go back on my word. If you don’t believe me, see if he dares to make the covenant in his own true name!”

The divine thoughts of two true gods in this world erupted simultaneously.

The Earth God had indeed not made the covenant in his true name!

Meanwhile, in the distance, the dwarf’s eyes flashed, and he suddenly spoke to Xu Qing.

“Fellow Daoist, I was reckless before. There is no life-or-death situation between us. Please help my clan, and my clan will honor the promise of the True God!”

After saying this, He raised His head, bowed to the sky, and uttered a low shout.

“I beg the Ancestral God to sever those altars and give me assistance to help this immortal cultivator suppress the enemy god, so as to prevent… any further changes!”

There was an implication in His words: releasing the altars would allow Him to advance or retreat as needed, thus securing an invincible position.

So, in the next instant, the black fleshy ball in the sky suddenly throbbed, and the seven or eight altars connected to Him suddenly opened their eyes.

Their divine senses were sent back, the connection was severed, and in a flash, they rushed down.

It seemed that they really wanted to help Xu Qing suppress the True God below.

Among these altars, the others were fine, but there were three that Xu Qing had previously focused on.

One of them had a rusty, evil eye with the shape of a bronze chime.

One was a withered old woman in humanoid form.

The last was a demigod, half-ash, half-destroying god of decay and prosperity.

Looking at them, a glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes.

He knew that although he possessed a Celestial Lord’s artifact, using it required the luck of the fifth star ring as a guide, and this was the fourth star ring. Once he used it… he would inevitably be exposed.

So, at this moment of choice, he chose…

“Alright, you all follow me!”

With those words, Xu Qing’s body blurred, and he rushed towards the withered trees below, where the Ganoderma lucidum umbrellas grew!

Those Ganoderma lucidum umbrellas, large and small, were covered with crystals, each crystal containing a small, ruined world.

However, while they appeared to exist, they actually existed between illusion and reality,

and could not be entered!

And the place Xu Qing went was precisely those small worlds! He

instantly disappeared into

them! It was as if… these small worlds had opened up on their own at that moment!

Xu Qing remained calm and unsurprised. Behind him, the dwarf, watching this scene, his eyes flashing with a strange light, secretly transmitted his divine thoughts to all the gods.

“These small worlds are the core of that enemy god. Normally, they cannot be entered. Now that they are open… You all come with me and destroy them all!

As for that cultivator, if we can capture him alive, that would be best. If not… kill him!”

Then, with a flicker, he and the descending divine platforms swiftly stepped into the small world Xu Qing was heading to, accompanied by the gods who had previously scattered.

They entered smoothly!

After they disappeared one after another, the world outside Lingzhi was left with only the struggle between heaven and earth, and the clash of their divine thoughts.

“You dared not use your true name to initiate the covenant before, fearing that I would find your hidden true name in the Divine Kingdom of Memory. But now, you have actually opened the Divine Kingdom on your own initiative!”

“The destruction of each piece of the Divine Kingdom will reduce the power of your true name’s concealment. If too many pieces are destroyed, I can instantly find your true name, devour it, and complete the fusion in an instant!”

“It seems that this is your last struggle, placing all your hopes on that cultivator.”

“You are gambling, gambling that while he chooses to help you, you are also gambling that he can be destroyed by those gods in your Divine Kingdom of Memory before I can find it!”

“Thus, you gain time to continue fighting against me!”

“But… that cultivator is wise. I initiated the covenant with my true name, but you did not. How can he trust you!” The divine

thought of the heavens echoed, trying to shatter the enemy god’s defenses, but the earth, mountains, and withered trees also trembled at this moment.

“Because, within my divine realm of memories, there exists a place whose value to him is greater than believing in your true name and covenant!”

“I didn’t understand before, but the moment I saw him, I understood cause and effect. As for now, you are all here!”

The black fleshy sphere in the sky contracted, and more blood rained down.

“You saw that what I said was true, so you panicked!”

The earth and mountains resonated; what He wanted was for the opponent to panic. Only in

this way would a flaw appear.

…

Within the small world, the sky was wrinkled, the earth withered, and all living beings ceased to exist.

Only endless ruins recorded the past glory.

At this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed across the heavens and earth, and Xu Qing’s figure appeared within it. The instant he appeared, a wind came from the void.

It blew on Xu Qing, bringing a scene to his eyes.

That scene was a world map, broken into countless pieces and barely pieced together, like a complete divine realm.

And within it, Xu Qing’s location was marked—it was one of those pieces!

Furthermore, there was an inexplicable pull emanating from one of these countless pieces of the map, not far from Xu Qing!

The moment it entered Xu Qing’s senses, his eyes narrowed, and the Star Tower within his body, which he had concealed and could return to the Ninth Star Ring, trembled.

The source of this tremor was not the Star Tower itself, nor the dormant Holy Heavenly Vine coiled around it, but…

the little golden rat that Xu Qing had placed inside the Star Tower, which had fallen into a deep sleep due to excessive consumption during its journey to the Fifth Star Ring!

It seemed to have awakened due to this pull!

The moment it awoke, a chirping sound echoed in Xu Qing’s mind.

This scene caused Xu Qing’s pupils to contract, then reveal a bright light, and an inconceivable conjecture rose in his heart.

Then, his breathing quickened slightly, and his mind made a decisive move.

His body blurred, and he soared towards the point of pull!

But the instant he flew away, countless divine figures descended.

With each additional figure, the pull became increasingly blurred, until finally, when all the gods had appeared, the pull completely dissipated, and the countless fragments of the Divine Kingdom Lock suddenly became disordered.

This made it impossible for Xu Qing to pinpoint the location!

A glint of cold light flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. It was obvious… that Earth God wanted him to kill all the subordinate gods of the True Yi God Clan in this area.

This was a deal!

“Deal!”

A chilling aura rose within Xu Qing’s heart, instantly erupting!

At the same time, in this chaotic and shattered divine kingdom, in a certain fragment, within the ruins… a huge golden rat was gnawing on a straw sandal.

As it ate, it warily looked around, seemingly worried that some being would suddenly appear and snatch it back.

And in its munching, it didn’t notice that the bits of grass falling from its mouth, scattered around, seemed to faintly form a teleportation array!
