Outside of Time - Chapter 1322

Chapter 1300 Entering the Game with One’s Own Body

At this moment, within the Fourth Star Ring, the rift, one of the original four forbidden areas, completely collapsed.

Everything within it ceased to exist.

It became nothingness.

The concept of its ‘existence’ was stripped away, shattered.

Even the turbulent currents of spacetime were included, becoming part of the nothingness.

Like an unchangeable fixed number.

An eternal existence.

Meanwhile, outside, whether it was the Immortal Venerable in the Fourth Star Ring or the God Venerables in other star rings, the perceptions of these supreme beings were uniformly locked onto another area.

Utterly solemn.

What they were looking at was the starry sky of the Fourth Star Ring near the Third Star Ring.

That starry sky was turbulent.

It seemed that a being imperceptible to those not of God Venerable rank was currently merging into that starry sky, moving forward in an inconceivable way.

This scene was invisible and imperceptible to the life forms living within that starry sky.

Because it was something they could not comprehend.

Even the gods hidden there were no exception.

That unique mode of existence surpassed the limits of their comprehension.

It was as if it were merely an abstract concept.

This concept… was the old god who had escaped from the rift!

His body covered the starry sky, his thoughts transcended time and space. His

existence became part of all things, so his speed was intangible.

And he was fleeing.

Wherever he passed, he stirred up storms that permeated the entire star ring, countless bizarre lives were born in those storms, and died in the next instant, becoming the beginning and the end, becoming destiny. He

became part of the concept, and also the power that propelled him forward.

Propelling him ever closer to the third star ring.

But his thoughts were in turmoil.

Because he knew very well that gods were completely different from gods. Even though Shanghuang was clearly severely injured, possessing the rank of half-step god was already the pinnacle of the upper realm.

Every move he made would cause all gods to tremble.

Irresistible!

Not to mention, he was perfectly aware that he himself was not at his peak.

Having been defeated by the current Fourth Star Ring God in the struggle for divine power, He was suppressed and continuously weakened for countless years, leaving

Him extremely frail. In this state, facing the half-step god Shanghuang, He had no choice but to flee.

“The umbilical cord of divinity cannot be opened for me…”

“The only path before me seems to be to go to other star rings, borrow the divine energy of other star rings to contain my concept, and then conceal myself!”

“However, the fifth star ring is filled with immortal spirits, unsuitable for the escape of divine concepts.”

Within this concept merged with the starry sky, the old god’s divine thoughts fluctuated.

After Shanghuang descended, all cause and effect collapsed, and countless concealments were revealed, including traces of external forces.

This allowed His omniscience to gradually fill in and perfect the missing information within this shattered cause and effect.

At the moment of complete completion, the old god smiled.

“That Immortal Venerable… in terms of scheming, surpasses even the gods. He truly deserves to be the only one throughout history to achieve Venerable status through immortality!”

“His initial plan included me… First, he combined the thoughts of the Destiny Chart, using karma to drive the Destiny Chart God Venerable, making him willingly sacrifice everything to enter the divine umbilical cord.

Then he lured Shanghuang away… his aim was to get me into the third star ring, thus paving the way for his next move.”

“He calculated that I would go to the third star ring, because there, I would have a glimmer of hope.”

“He also calculated that I couldn’t enter the fifth star ring… because there, I would surely die!”

“Step by step, ring by ring, and the origin point was those two people who were themselves part of Shanghuang’s karma!”

Within that concept, the old God Venerable’s divine sense fluctuated intensely.

Laughter gradually spread within that concept.

“However, Immortal Venerable, you have repeatedly used Shanghuang, even if it’s done through a layer to minimize the karmic interference… do I really have no other choice?!”

The next instant, a scene that shocked all the onlookers erupted within that concept.

The old god-king had changed direction, instantly reversing his own concept and appearing in… another location in the fourth star ring!

There, infinitely close to the fifth star ring!

This scene immediately caused other star rings to tremble.

“Using me as a pawn…”

The concept spread across the boundary in an indescribable way, invading the fifth star ring. At the moment, the old god-king’s divine thought spread throughout the entire thirty-six ascending star rings.

“This venerable one is an innate god, supreme throughout his life, slaughtering countless, reaching the level of god-king, gazing upon the path of divinity…”

As the divine thought echoed, the minds of all the god-kings were in turmoil, and the concept that the old god-king had transformed into truly entered the fifth star ring at this moment.

The existence of immortal spiritual energy struggled intensely because of his arrival, turning into ripples. In this repulsion, the concept changed from formless to tangible.

The old god-king’s concealment revealed a flaw, exposing his terrifying form.

It was a huge being covered with stars all over his body. With countless tentacles swaying, stars were born and stars died.

It was as if His existence was an integral part of the workings of the star ring.

And His voice still echoed.

“Those who plot against me in this life will all be subject to destiny.”

“Fate is thus, and you…”

This divine thought, in the hearts of all beings in the Fifth Star Ring, roared like heavenly music, like endless thunder exploding, causing all beings to wail and all things to wither.

And He Himself, amidst the spread of this divine thought, chose to actively reveal His concealment, making His form more complete and clearer within the Fifth Star Ring.

This caused an unbearable surge of energy within the Fifth Star Ring, and countless universes and stars trembled at this moment, as if reaching their limit.

After revealing His concealment, the traces of the old deity standing in the Fifth Star Ring shone like a dazzling star,

attracting countless eyes .

It also attracted His pursuers.

So, in the next instant, in the void behind His true form, golden pupils suddenly appeared!

It reflects all living beings and things, contains an infinite universe, and is extremely vast, yet also filled with sacredness and inviolability.

It was the Eye of the Desolate Wasteland!

The moment it appeared in the Fifth Star Ring, the minds of all cultivators in the entire Fifth Star Ring reverberated.

Each and every one of them felt a nameless horror, their hearts pounding, and their flesh contorting in pain.

The terror that had gripped the Ancient Continent manifested in the Fifth Star Ring.

As the expressions of all beings changed, the Eye of the Desolate Wasteland’s gaze fell upon the old god-king before them!

The old god-king, however, remained unconcerned. His eyes were cold, his expression resolute, and his divine sense surged forth in an instant, merging his own will into it, transforming into words that astonished even the immortals!

“No being can use me as a pawn!”

“If you use me as a pawn, then… the chessboard will crumble!”

As the old god-king spoke, he suddenly turned, directly facing the Eye of the Desolate Wasteland.

He allowed himself to show signs of dissolving under the gaze of the Desolate Wasteland, without flinching!

Only his divine sense roared upwards!

“Immortal Venerable, I forsake the life force of the Third Star Ring, choosing instead to let the aura of Shanghuang remain eternally in your Fifth Star Ring through my death!”

The moment his words emanated an air of dominance, the old god’s divine essence exploded, transforming into countless concepts that formed a path of guidance.

In the next instant, Shanghuang’s gaze completely enveloped his figure, spreading along the path of his concepts across the starry sky in all directions.

The scope was so vast that it covered nearly thirty percent of the entire Fifth Star Ring!

Then, a scene that shocked all living beings and gods unfolded.
