Chapter 1193 - 275: Outbreak! The Arrival of Time, Shock Across Factions!
Boom!
Thunder rolled through the chaos, a lightning bolt streaked across, illuminating the Immortal Realm, turning the broad wall below into pure white in an instant.
In the Immortal Realm, countless Immortal Venerates suddenly lifted their heads.
High in the sky, a multitude of powerful figures descended, each with different expressions, overlooking the whole Immortal Realm.
A wrinkle of surprise flashed across their faces, which quickly returned to calm.
The End of the Dharma Immortal Venerate grinned, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly:
"This is yet another peak battle of ages."
The fierce wind oppressed the entire land, countless droplets of energy rain wrapped around the cultivators on the battlefield like colorful auroras, and numerous True Immortal, Celestial Soldiers, and Celestial Generals began to flee uncontrollably.
Flee!
"Immortal Venerate, the war has begun?!?" Almost instantly, all Celestial Soldiers and Generals began retreating.
Just like when the Shadow Crocodile Immortal Venerate personally descended at Ning Zheng’s command, the entire battlefield of cultivators retreated like a flood, with none acting foolishly.
"All the Immortal Venerates of the Netherworld have arrived." Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Venerate spoke first, with a full twelve Immortal Venerates standing behind him, as if an endless towering mountain range stood behind him, intimidatingly impressive.
"Whatever tactics you’ve worked so hard to devise, use them!" Refining Cauldron Immortal Venerate’s expression was indifferent.
She raised her hand.
Boom!!
Amidst the thunderclap, a massive fiery red cauldron obscured the heavens, entwined with crimson lightning, striking fiercely at the Netherworld.
In the sky, a river seemed to unfold slowly like a scroll painting, with a figure using the River of Time as ink, wielding the brush freely to paint this splendid grand history.
The fleeing Immortal Realm general, True Immortal Momei, turned her head abruptly in shock:
"What is that?"
"I see a god weaving? Pulling out a timeline? Like my mother extracting cotton thread from cloth..."
"No, I see a painter, unfolding a new history!"
"That is a moving gallery of visions."
...
Almost everyone saw a high-dimensional illusion far above their own dimensional level, viewing a misty and vast parallel timeline unfurl from the source from an incredulous aerial perspective.
This is the glimpse of a three-dimensional being, peeking occasionally into a corner of higher dimensions.
Or perhaps, they are ascending in dimensions.
Living on a single world line, they are three-dimensional beings.
But when a second world line appears, the multi-dimensional space-time stack becomes drastically different.
This is dimensional advancement, glimpsing a thread of divinity from that great prehistoric era.
Then, humanity watched history unfold like a carpet from the source.
The scenes after the River of Time was severed began to emerge, history is being reenacted.
History appears before the people.
The three Immortal Venerates, Offerings, fell in the past.
The creatures that arose from the bodies of the three Immortal Venerates and Offerings engaged in furious battles until death, those who inherited their wills still fought.
Afterward, the Offering side faced a dreadful defeat, and people saw mysterious Immortal Venerates appear and solidify each Offering, not yet self-aware, not yet hatched into powerhouses, into keystones, making them gentle and serving Heaven and Earth; should they awaken, all beings would slay them.
This is their punishment; it’s also the Offering’s suicide mechanism.
Then, the leader of the Offerings, Immortal Venerate of the Offering Lineage, was suppressed, used as a core by numerous Immortal Venerates, assisting the Time Ancient Tomb, establishing the world’s first Immortal Realm.
Time rolls on, quickly advancing towards the future.
Various civilizations rise, as fortune brings cultivators slowly exiting the three Immortal Venerates’ tomb, unwilling to be ruled by another version of themselves, they too begin forming alliances.
The Netherworld begins to emerge.
They wish to seize the only prehistoric exit, the Time Ancient Tomb.
On the other side, as the era evolves, the Offerings who similarly slowly awaken from within the Sacrificial Tombs and become self-aware, one by one commit suicide, lose themselves, and completely turn into keystones of every realm in All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
The truth of the era displays itself to humanity, filled with raw reality of victory and defeat.
In the void, as if people heard gods in the invisible chorus in the sky.
"When old gods are jailed by time, when new gods rule the era."
"When the world ripples, when time reshapes."
"When the past collapses, when the future rises."
"The world will reborn, torrents will surge."
Thump!
The world paused, a breach opened in heaven and earth.
The prehistoric flood was sluiced open.
The tumultuous torrent, an immense tidal wave turned into tremendous water pressure, white and thunderous, surged fiercely toward the future.
All future cultivators were forced to shut their eyes from the massive water pressure, dazed and blurry, they witnessed an unforgettable scene.
With the influx of vast resources and energy into the second outflow from upstream rivers, a phantom world line rapidly fills up, transforming into reality like a shimmering mirage, turning into the real.
The phantom world line in the void is suddenly yanked harshly into reality.
Boom!!!
The scent of flowers in the air, the muddy earthy smell of the ground, the chilly slap of rain on the body, like a twin yolk slowly splitting into two, a parallel world emerged.
"Netherworld you!!???"
An enraged roar echoed through the heavens.
"Have you gone mad??" Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Venerate roared!
𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Stop now!"
"Hold on, while things can still be salvaged, I will lead your Netherworld to the [past] to beg forgiveness from the Immortal Venerates!"
"Before you commit an irreversible error!"
At the same time, for the first time, the Immortal Venerates’ calm expressions revealed terror.
At this moment.
Signals from prehistory began to echo in the sky.
"Enough, stop it now." The ancient Jiumu Immortal Venerate urgently said: "If you continue this way, we will be disappointed."
Heart Water Immortal Venerate: "The situation will spiral out of control, I use the authority of your elder to order you to stop, or you will face the wrath of the Celestial Phenomena from prehistory."
Lunmu Immortal Venerable: "Nether Wood Immortal Venerate, Venerable Zhongluan, you are two sides of the same coin, essentially one, both my disciples, I will mediate for you."
Immortal Venerate Rongming: "Cease now, my lovely children, you’ve been bewitched by the Offerings."
Information from the past continually flows through the gap in the River of Time, transmitting to the future.
In the current world of the Immortal Realm.
"Enough! Netherworld!"
The End of the Dharma Immortal Venerate’s eyes shimmered with cold murderous intent, delivering a chillingly indifferent voice, "The second world line, dare you steal the prehistoric upstream... material, flow into the future, are you committing betrayal?"
"Betrayal?"
Nether Cauldron Immortal Venerate revealed a fervent smile, "It is because of our love for our homeland that we act this way, you damned fools have controlled the homeland’s passage, if we just kill you all..."
Nether Cauldron Immortal Venerate chuckled darkly.
"I dream of returning to my childhood home, back to the past, to those happiest and joyful days." She gently lowered her voice.
When she endured loneliness in the cold solitary Netherworld, while another version directly communicates leisurely with the Immortal Realm and even visits the homeland for vacation.
Naturally arrogant, assertive, domineering, she would never accept her failure, being just a substitution of Jiumu Qing?
She aims to completely eliminate the Immortal Realm entity that claims to be her real self!
As long as she kills them, as long as the Immortal Realm is destroyed, everything will improve... she will replace the Immortal Venerate of the Immortal Realm.
And by unleashing the prehistoric floods, any offense against prehistoric Immortal Venerates will be forgiven!
And amidst the sky.
Suddenly, bursts of leisurely sighs echoed.
Prehistoric Immortal Venerates have acknowledged the futility of stopping this, they left behind future counterparts, similar to Jiumu Qing; self-identity personalities with independence.
They controlled the others through repeated time twists, countless crossings over, editing and modifying save points in their growth process, experimenting their life journey, imprinting affection deep within the heart.
Yet, these Netherworld Immortal Venerates remain free, ambitious and domineering, understanding that if they steal prehistoric material and energy, nurturing a second timeline, then if they defeated the Immortal Realm...
The ancient Immortal Venerates would still revaluate the Netherworld as if nothing ever happened.
"That hidden... Offering, come out and let’s talk."
At this moment, a voice of utmost arrogance echoed in the sky.
