Outside of Time - Chapter 1370

Chapter 1345 The Earth Becomes a Book, A Branch of Destiny

“Our wealth is vast.”

Crown Prince Ziqing smiled, raising his right hand and gently waving it towards the outside of the hall.

With this wave, the entire Devouring Heaven Domain roared with an even stronger sound than before, shaking the heavens and earth.

Immediately afterward, an unbelievable scene suddenly appeared!

The earth… instantly changed, mountains and rivers, buildings, including the imperial palace, all transformed into a book in that instant!

The earth became a book! At

this moment, the Mirror of Antiquity in the sky above the entire Devouring Heaven Domain was plundering the nation’s fortune, and had already plundered most of it, making everything increasingly blurred.

But then, the book formed from the earth turned a page!

As this page turned, mountains and rivers reappeared, all things were renewed, the capital reappeared, and the people reappeared!

That page also contained the Ziqing Upper Kingdom!

And it was perfectly intact!

It allowed the Mirror of Antiquity in the sky to continue plundering, and allowed the vortex reversed by Xu Qing to continue absorbing it.

Even though the scenes within the Mirror of Antiquity became crystal clear with the plundering of national fortune, the pages of the Book of Earth still reproduced everything.

Even more strangely, even though everything on this page quickly became blurry, taken away by the Mirror of Antiquity, the Book of Earth turned to a second page!

This second page still showed the Purple-Azure Upper Kingdom!

Without the slightest change.

“Brother, as much as you want, I’ll give you,”

Purple-Azure smiled.

“Because I made every breath of the Purple-Azure Upper Kingdom’s existence into a separate page of destiny, and in the end, they gained life, beginning an endless cycle…” “

Even I don’t know exactly how many there are.”

This was the divine power he had displayed back then!

Destiny!

However, it was clear that the divine power Purple-Azure wielded now was far more bizarre than before, and its scope was far more unpredictable!

As he spoke, the book formed from the Devouring Heaven and Earth suddenly accelerated its page-turning speed. No longer blurred by the Mirror of Ancient Times, it began to flip rapidly, page by page, before the Mirror could finish absorbing its contents.

Every page depicted the Purple-Azure Kingdom!

Thus, the Mirror of Ancient Times’ plundering was passively accelerated.

As for the Purple-Azure Kingdom’s fate, in this rapid page-turning, it became…boundless!

A sense of powerlessness inevitably arose in everyone’s hearts.

The Mirror of Ancient Times also revealed this powerlessness.

It could not plunder infinitely, and the reversing vortex could not endlessly rotate.

Then, with a cracking sound, a fissure appeared on the Mirror of Ancient Times.

This fissure multiplied, spreading across the entire surface of the mirror with a series of shattering sounds, until finally…

it shattered into countless pieces, scattering in all directions.

Meanwhile, on the ancient continent of Wanggu, the Human Empress coughed up blood, her body instantly weakening as she weakly gazed at the Devouring Heaven.

All the humans around her who had participated in the ritual were in the same state.

And among the myriad races, there were countless powerful beings like her.

Cultivators of all races coughed up blood one after another.

For a moment, the entire ancient continent of Wanggu fell silent.

Only the pages of the book formed by the Devouring Heaven Domain continued to turn rapidly, replaying scene after scene again and again.

It seemed as if time and space themselves were shifting.

Xu Qing sighed inwardly.

The Purple-Green Crown Prince had failed in his attempt to seize the divine body.

And here, his attempt to seize the national fortune of the Purple-Green Upper Kingdom had also failed.

However, at the moment of failure, Xu Qing, standing on the plaza outside the main hall of the Purple-Green Upper Kingdom’s palace, flashed a cold light in his eyes, and his body suddenly moved, heading straight for the main hall of the palace. Since

the attempt to seize the divine body had failed, he would ultimately have to fight personally to determine the fate of the world!

Inside the main hall, the Purple-Green Crown Prince tapped his fingers lightly.

A ripple of destiny, originating from the void where his fingers struck, spread outwards, blocking Xu Qing’s intrusion from the outside.

“Your opponent is another possible version of myself within destiny.”

As these words echoed, the turning of the pages of the Earth Book abruptly stopped,

revealing a branch of destiny .

This branch replaced reality, or more accurately, coexisted with the main hall of reality!

Inside the hall, the Purple-Green Prince remained seated on his dragon throne.

Outside, however, the world changed drastically!

A second Purple-Green Prince appeared in the plaza!

He stood atop the desolate statue, arms outstretched, his expression both sinister and cold, the echoes of his words spoken within the branch of destiny reverberating around him.

“…Sacrifice!”

With this word, countless fanatical voices erupted from the Purple-Green Kingdom within this branch of destiny.

“Willing to die for the Crown Prince!”

“Willing to die for the Crown Prince!!”

These voices rang out from every citizen of the Purple-Azure Upper Kingdom within this branch of destiny, including cultivators and mortals, men and women, young and old.

Without exception, their expressions were fervent.

At the mere word of the Purple-Azure Crown Prince, they began to burn, began…self-sacrifice!

Sacrificed to…their Purple-Azure Crown Prince!

This Purple-Azure Crown Prince, appearing alongside reality in this branch of destiny, had chosen to sacrifice the entire Purple-Azure Upper Kingdom, pouring into himself!

In the next instant, countless sacrificed lives transformed into a torrent, rushing from all directions towards the Shanghuang statue, surging into the Purple-Azure Crown Prince’s body.

Their numbers were boundless.

And during this surge, Xu Qing did not stop it.

Because it was meaningless; his constitution clearly perceived that what he was witnessing was already a past event.

Changing this scene would not change the ending.

But changing the final ending could reverse cause and effect.

So Xu Qing gazed intently, focusing on every detail.

At that moment, the Purple-Green Prince atop the Shanghuang statue, his body rapidly dissolved into blood amidst the countless offerings, dripping onto the statue below.

The entire process took only a few breaths…

Before Xu Qing’s very eyes, the Purple-Green Kingdom, a tributary of fate, was utterly destroyed. Even the Purple-Green Crown Prince had been completely melted away, his blood covering the entire area of the Shanghuang statue.

Immediately afterward, a terrifying aura emanated from the Shanghuang statue, soaring into the sky and

forming a vast divine might!

It caused the heavens and earth to change color, the winds to reverse, and anomalies to fill the world.

Even rules and laws were about to dissipate.

Only divine authority remained!

It was the aura of a god-king!

Within this aura, the form of the Shanghuang statue was changing, as if it were reviving, transforming into a body of flesh and blood!

And as the flesh and blood writhed, even its appearance changed,

forming a human shape!

The rapidly forming face, in the blink of an eye, revealed… the likeness of Purple-Green!

Then, it vanished, collapsing into nothingness, reappearing before Xu Qing. Amidst the explosion of anomalies and the pressure of a god-king, it raised its right hand and pressed it down upon Xu Qing.

Xu Qing’s own divine power emanated outwards, colliding with Prince Ziqing.

The heavens and earth roared!

The world trembled, unleashing a tremendous shock.

Xu Qing retreated gracefully, stopping a hundred feet away, calmly looking at Prince Ziqing standing outside the hall.

At that moment, Prince Ziqing outside the hall also looked at Xu Qing.

Behind him, Prince Ziqing inside the hall looked at Xu Qing as well.

The two Prince Ziqing spoke simultaneously.

“Brother, this time, if you are not prepared, then… you will die.”

Their voices intertwined in two destinies, echoing together in the present moment, lingering for a long time.

Prince Ziqing’s divine authority was destiny!

This way of extracting a tributary from destiny, materializing another possibility, and making it coexist with reality… to some extent, Xu Qing had also experienced it.

That was in the fourth star ring, in the spacetime turbulence.

At the final point of unification, Xu Qing had appeared beside the old painter.

The old painter was another possibility for Xu Qing in other timelines.

Only, the way he and Prince Ziqing obtained it was different.

Zi Qing relied on fate.

Xu Qing, on the other hand, relied on his own constitution, transforming into a dimension that pierced through all time and space.

But similarly… having reached this point, they had already attained the level of a master.

As a god, he was a god-king; as an immortal, he was an immortal-king.
