Chapter 269: Chapter 209: The Future "Path"! Chaos Will Begin!
"Master time and space?"
Upon hearing the elder’s words, Chang Qing couldn’t help but look astonished.
Having embarked on the path of cultivation for quite some time, he was no longer a novice and naturally understood how terrifying the weight of the words ’time’ and ’space’ truly was.
Those were forces that had already begun to touch the Power of Laws, something only those in the King realm could barely come into contact with.
Moreover, even within the King realm, the Space Law was one of the most advanced laws.
Those who comprehended such laws were nearly invincible within the same realm.
But if that were all, it would be fine; the Space Law was rare but not nonexistent.
But Chang Qing was sure that there was absolutely no one who had comprehended and applied the Law of Time!
Such a terrifying power of laws, once mastered by any individual, might even interfere with the normal operation of the world.
The Heavenly Dao of Cangyan Continent would definitely not permit time to be controlled by living beings.
Boom!
Just as Chang Qing was shocked and dumbfounded, the world divided into black and white started to spin violently.
The white light, resembling that in the Tai Chi Diagram, surged like a stream, along Chang Qing’s Tianling, into his body.
Chang Qing’s entire body began to glow; he was like a bottomless abyss, swallowing this world.
However, his cultivation did not increase, nor did his combat power change.
Yet the world within him was expanding infinitely and crazily.
A feeling of ’emptiness’ made this newly-born world more complete, more like a real world.
Chang Qing cultivated the Heaven and Earth Divine Body, opening up a world within his body.
But back then, that ’world’ was just illusory, not real, only something he could sense.
But now, with that endless ’emptiness’ pouring into him, that illusory ’world’ became real!
What is a real world?
Previously, Chang Qing’s internal world was like a mirage, visible but untouchable.
But now, he could completely treat his body like an enormous storage space, capable of accommodating everything!
This is the terrifying change brought by ’emptiness’.
"A real world..."
Feeling the change within, Chang Qing’s eyes were filled with even more shock.
"The Heaven-Opening Axe assists you in opening the heaven and earth within, condensing the illusory world."
"The Chaos Pearl uses the Power of Space-Time to aid you in building the foundation of a world, creating a real heaven and earth."
The elder stood at the center of the Tai Chi, with his hair and beard fluttering, and chuckled lightly: "From this point on, your Heaven and Earth Divine Body is just beginning to form."
As he spoke, the ’white’ light within this world had been completely devoured by Chang Qing.
In an instant, the ’sun’ within him surged again, leaping from just seven times magnification to ten times!
A terrifying power surged throughout his body, and the ’realness’ and ’weight’ of the world could be clearly felt.
"Is this merely the Divine Body taking shape?"
Chang Qing muttered in disbelief, "Then... when can it be considered perfected?"
"Perfected?"
The elder smiled, his gaze seemingly seeing into Chang Qing’s internal world, and said with some anticipation:
"When your heaven and earth grow to surpass the Cangyan Continent."
"When your world gives birth to its first living being!"
"When you... become your own Heavenly Dao!"
"This is the path you are destined to walk!"
Boom!
The elder’s words thundered like divine lightning from the nine heavens, leaving Chang Qing standing dazedly at the spot.
Since discovering his talent, Chang Qing had clearly understood that he was a genius!
A prodigy who could rank among the top throughout the entire world!
Yet no matter how confident or ambitious he was, he never imagined... that his world could give birth to real living beings.
And that he, could become the Heavenly Dao of his own world!
This ’path’ was too terrifying; it was a height more unbelievably daunting than becoming a Great Emperor.
"How am I qualified, or deserving... to choose such a ’path’..."
Chang Qing’s mouth felt dry, and he muttered in a daze.
"This path was indeed chosen by you."
The elder paused in silence upon hearing this and then sighed: "But reaching this step today has cost countless generations their efforts."
"Martial Ancestor, Daoist Venerable, and each Great Emperor..."
As he spoke, he looked at Chang Qing with a complex expression:
"Endless generations of planning, this era shall be the end; they placed all their cards and hopes on this one lifetime."
"Don’t disappoint them..."
Listening to the elder’s words, Chang Qing felt his mind in chaos.
He kept feeling as if he had grasped something, yet couldn’t quite put his finger on it.
A memory buried deep in his soul was stirring anxiously, but it could not break through its shackles.
"What is it all for?"
Chang Qing remained silent for a long time, but couldn’t help asking.
"What for?"
The elder gazed distantly at the outside world, speaking softly, "For all the living beings under heaven, for the continuation of the bloodline."
"The darkness is terrifying, beyond anyone’s imagination, it’s... a scenario with almost no chance of victory."
"As for why it’s you..."
Looking at Chang Qing, the elder’s eyes were complicated; he opened his mouth to speak several times but seemed restrained by something, not daring to elaborate.
"Consider yourself atoning."
A booming echo filled Chang Qing’s mind, recalling again the near world-ending tribulation at the Wu family.
"Am I someone’s reincarnation?"
Chang Qing silently thought for a long time before he painstakingly asked.
He found this guess hard to accept because, apart from himself, he didn’t want to be anyone else.
"Many chose to reincarnate in this era, but not you."
The elder shook his head and said, "The specific answer is something only you know, no one else can decipher."
The elder seemed unwilling to discuss this topic.
He watched the ’emptiness’ gradually vanish around him, then looked at Chang Qing with a smile: "Try and see if you can wield the power of space."
Seeing that further questioning would yield no answers, Chang Qing shook his head, suppressing his myriad confusions.
