Outside of Time - Chapter 1300

Chapter 1278 Seeking the Light: Xu Qing

and Fairy Linghuang’s words were like a sharp blade, directly piercing through all the fog and turning Xu Qing’s bold guess into reality!

Becoming a god in the birthplace of the first deity of the Fourth Star Ring!

Such ambition is unprecedented!

However, as the fog dissipated, doubts also arose in Xu Qing’s mind.

He had witnessed the path to godhood several times; it was by no means an easy feat.

As his thoughts churned, Fairy Linghuang beside him clearly saw the reason and spoke again.

“There are some things you don’t know completely.”

“Early on, from the moment my husband’s original Mirror Law was formed, the Divine Calamity had already silently seeped into it…

Though not much, and although my father suppressed it with the Secret Law, it couldn’t be completely erased. This is also why the Immortal Venerable ultimately chose to seal my husband in the Aurora Immortal Palace!”

“Having lost his son, the Immortal Venerable, for the first time, had selfish motives when dealing with his grandson’s affairs; he didn’t want to lose another.”

“And the trace left in my husband’s body is… the Divine Guidance.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing immediately understood why Fairy Linghuang had said that only the Aurora Immortal Lord and his son could accomplish this!

It was because… the higher a cultivator’s cultivation, the more difficult it was to change their destiny.

Even the Empress, at the level of Dominator, needed numerous rituals.

And now, the Aurora Young Master, at the peak of the Summer Immortal realm, the rituals and difficulties required for his path change were virtually limitless.

But all this limitlessness… now had a foundation for completion.

This foundation was this place, this primordial mother planet!

The birthplace of the first deity in this fourth star ring fulfilled most of the requirements, and its status… was also sufficient!

But… even with the requirements met and the status sufficient, a crucial element was still missing regarding the transformation of Xia Xian’s path to the peak!

That was the divine guide!

Just as a spark can start a prairie fire, this divine guide… was the spark!

But if this spark were ordinary, it naturally wouldn’t be able to meet the requirements.

This was also why other cultivators couldn’t do this before.

But the Aurora Immortal Lord and his son were different!

Back then, the Immortal Venerable of the fifth star ring was tainted by the divine calamity formed from the death of the fifth star ring’s deity, which was tainted within his body.

It was an extreme curse formed by the power of the deity’s collapsing divine status and gathering his own boundless divine might. Even a powerful Immortal Venerable couldn’t completely erase it; a wisp remained, becoming a mark.

Then, the Immortal Venerable thought of a way to erase it: to use bloodlines as a continuation, to erase it generation after generation! Thus,

the Aurora Immortal Lord experienced a tragic and miserable life, and he… didn’t want this pain to continue in his son, so he chose to perish.

He succeeded, allowing the Aurora Young Master to grow within the seal, but it seemed this success wasn’t complete.

Thus, the subsequent events unfolded.

The Aurora Young Master chose this primordial mother star of the Fourth Star Ring, using the residual divine calamity within him as a catalyst to change his path to godhood!

“Not just godhood, he wants to…ascend to God Lord here!”

Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed with a strange light.

“Given the status of this primordial mother star, and being a God Lord, once he succeeds…the Aurora Young Master will possess the fortune of the Fourth Star Ring, becoming deeply connected to it!”

“As for the aftermath…”

Xu Qing’s breathing quickened; he had already guessed! He

also vaguely understood the roles he and Fairy Linghuang played…

“We are the anchors of humanity for him after he becomes a god.”

Xu Qing looked at Fairy Linghuang.

He had experienced the clash between humanity and divinity in his early years, so he clearly understood the importance of the anchor in that divine state!

“I am his wife, our bond spanning history, and you… you experienced the mirror image in his place, rescued him, and have shown him kindness. You also control the Aurora Beyond the Heavens, your karmic connection with him is deeper than ever before.”

“In this world, only the two of us can serve as his anchor.”

The moment the Spirit Phoenix Fairy’s voice echoed, Xu Qing’s heart surged.

Below, the Aurora Young Master sat cross-legged within the exposed flesh, his long hair gleaming eerily against the crimson sky.

He gazed down at the exposed star palace.

A pulsating sound, like thunder, emanated from within the star palace’s flesh, reverberating throughout heaven and earth.

That was the pulse of this mother star!

Along with the pulse came a sense of revival, as if this mother star was awakening.

Hearing this pulse, sensing the revival, the Aurora Young Master remained calm, raising his right hand and plunging the Immortal Venerable Sword directly into his chest!

The sword dissolved upon contact with blood, merging with him.

Having done all this, the Aurora Prince closed his eyes, raised his left hand, and slowly formed a hand seal, accompanied by an ancient incantation, ultimately culminating in two words:

“Blood Pact!”

The words caused a thunderous roar.

The struggle from the mother planet intensified, causing the earth to churn, and the revival force surged even more fiercely.

But the Aurora Prince remained unmoved, his eyes still closed, yet at this moment, rings of veins appeared all over his body!

These veins were composed of blood vessels!

The blood vessels beneath his skin bulged out in an instant,

resembling red snakes coiling around his body!

A heartbeat emanated from his chest.

Thump, thump!

This heartbeat was not synchronized with the pulse of the primordial mother planet; the two sounds intertwined in the heavens and earth, creating ripples in the void.

Then, the Aurora Prince took a deep breath, his face contorted, and raised his hands, pressing them hard against his chest.

In an instant, those grotesque blood vessels bulging on his skin burst forth!

Stretching out in all directions to their extreme!

There were a total of 36,000 of them, each with a hairy tentacle branching out from its end. With each swing, they exuded the aura of a Celestial Venerable’s sword, rushing rapidly towards the star palace below!

From afar, the scene was horrifying!

The entire primordial mother planet trembled violently, waves of repulsive force erupting from within the star palace, attempting to stop them.

But these vascular tentacles easily pierced through! They

swept through the mother planet’s star palace with unstoppable force,

embedding themselves deeply in the fleshy walls, piercing through them!

In an instant, the primordial mother planet let out a mournful cry like a dying beast, and a sea of blood surged across the fleshy continent.

But this mournful cry couldn’t stop the Aurora Prince’s blood vessels. In an instant, more vessels surged in, piercing into the flesh of the mother star. They

continued to penetrate deeper, as if searching!

Until they seemed to touch the main artery connecting to the earth’s veins, intertwining and forming a parasitic bond. Then… the pulsation of the primordial mother star suddenly paused.

When it echoed again, it gradually synchronized with the prince’s heartbeat.

Finally, when the last blood vessel had completed its parasitic connection, the Aurora Prince, who was sitting cross-legged there, suddenly opened his eyes!

His eyes revealed a golden light like that of a god.

And with each breath, it caused the entire star to convulse.

His heartbeat and the pulsation of the primordial mother star were perfectly synchronized!

It was as if he had become one with the mother star!

In mid-air, Xu Qing and Fairy Linghuang witnessed all this, their hearts surging. At the same time, the Aurora Prince suddenly raised his head, his golden eyes looking at Xu Qing.

Then, he grinned.

That smile, given his current appearance, looked quite terrifying.

“Little brother.”

“The flesh and blood have been peeled away, the blood sacrifice is complete. In the upcoming ritual to become a god, there will be some delicious delicacies.”

“For example, the memories of this primordial mother planet.”

“Would you like to come over? I’ll take you to eat together.”

The Aurora Young Master invited with a smile.

Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed with a strange light, and his body swayed as he descended.

He landed instantly, sitting cross-legged beside the Aurora Young Master, on the flesh and blood of the primordial mother planet.

Seeing Xu Qing arrive, the Aurora Young Master laughed heartily, raising a finger of his right hand. Instantly, a blood vessel branched out, extending towards Xu Qing, finally floating before him.

Xu Qing remained silent, looking at the Aurora Young Master. After a few breaths, he suddenly raised his right hand, his fingertip touching the blood vessel before him.

The next instant, the Aurora Young Master’s voice echoed throughout the world.

“Star Soul!”

Xu Qing’s mind suddenly roared.

Memories from this primordial mother planet, now parasitized by the Aurora Young Master, transformed into a raging torrent, surging into his consciousness. Filtered by himself, a portion was sent to Xu Qing’s mind.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing trembled violently. He seemed to see countless divine figures, unfathomable secrets, star rivers formed from primordial matter, and the true names undulating within those star rivers…

Boundless memories, containing terrifying information, continuously erupted.

Simultaneously, as the Aurora Young Master absorbed these memories, his soul also flowed upstream, creating

ripples, as if leaving his true name within these memories, within the star rivers, and in the darkness!

Seeking Light.

Xu Qing also sensed this scene within the torrent of memories, perceiving the two words formed within the ripples.

At the same time, the Aurora Young Master’s voice echoed in his mind.

“What are you standing there for? Leave your name!”

“Your sister-in-law and the others can’t do this; they don’t possess divinity. But you can.”

“I noticed something was off about you back then. You seemed like a pure immortal, but there was a divine intent hidden very deep within you. If I’m not mistaken, you should have another body, belonging to a god!”

“So, you, like me, can leave your name!”

“Hurry up, leave your name here. It’s like getting the fourth star ring for free. Such a good thing… hehe.”

The Aurora Young Master’s voice came rapidly.

Xu Qing sensed it, his consciousness surged instantly, and in the next instant, he acted decisively, releasing his mark. With the Aurora Young Master’s help, it created ripples and condensed into a name.

Xu Qing!

This name appeared in the River of True Names, and after a flash, it sank into the star river along with the two characters “Mi Ming.

” “Alright, little brother, you’ll slowly experience the benefits of getting something for free later. Next… your brother is going to become a god!”

Aurora’s laughter echoed, and a powerful force silently erupted, landing in Xu Qing’s consciousness and becoming gentle, sending him out of the memories of this primordial mother star.

The next instant, Xu Qing opened his eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately retreated, returning to mid-air. At that moment, terrifying fluctuations emanated from the Aurora Young Master below.

The entire primordial mother planet trembled continuously, its surface writhing as if intricate patterns were being branded onto it. These

patterns resonated perfectly with the young master’s meridians

, causing his aura to surge dramatically, releasing a divine quality.

His divine will was earth-shattering at that moment.

The Aurora Young Master, too, slowly opened his eyes in that instant.

His right eye reflected a collapsing star field, his left eye swirled with cosmic lightning, and his entire body radiated golden light.

Then, he slowly stood up, his back connected by thousands of veins and tendrils, appearing both eerie and divine!

He had become Him!

The peak of True God!
