Outside Of Time
chapter-1444

Wanggu was too vast. Before the god's fragmented-face arrived, there were a total of 37 suns.

These 37 suns were different. Regardless of the material or origin, they all had their own unique and mysterious past.

Among them, there was a sun and moon that was even more unique.

It was rumored that countless years ago, when the Brilliant Heaven God Race was still the master of Wanggu, there were 36 suns in Wanggu.

It was the same for the moon.

This lasted until after the war between the immortals and gods. After that, the New Wanggu that were controlled by the immortals had an additional sun and moon.

It was rumored that this additional sun and moon came from the Brilliant Heaven God Race.

They were gods allowed by the ancient Summer Immortals to live in the Wanggu after the Brilliant Heaven God Race was sealed.

According to the agreement, they were required to patrol the Wanggu.

Among them, the sun was the crown prince of the Brilliant Heaven God Race. His name was the Golden Crow and He was tasked with patrolling during the day.

The moon was named Robin.

It symbolized kindness, innocence, and the promise of a beautiful love, and It patrolled during the night.

The sun and moon alternated in the sky day after day, seldom meeting. Only during the rare moments when the sun and moon shone together could they gaze upon each other.

And what They shone on… wasn't the Wanggu but the mysterious outer sea.

Just like that, time flowed by.

Time flowed, its power changing the world and washing away history.

As generations of cultivators appeared and the Wanggu races continued to separate and merge, the traces of the story of the Wanggu's sun and moon became fainter and fainter.

This lasted until the fragmented-face descended.

With different cause and effect, more than half of the 37 suns fell, leaving only 17 suns.

The stories about these suns and moons also became increasingly shallow until no one knew about them and they became a talk of distant legends.

People only knew that these 17 suns were scattered irregularly on the Wanggu. Some of them were very close to each other, while others were endlessly far apart.

This was also the reason why a portion of the Wanggu was always in darkness and a portion of it was always bright.

And the mysterious and unfathomable outer sea was deprived of light, as both the sun and the moon were lost.

However, the Nanhuang Continent, the Holy Wave Large Region, and the two surrounding large regions could be considered lucky.

This was because the sun that belonged to this place had never fallen for tens of thousands of years.

It still existed.

It would reveal itself at the moment dawn broke, illuminating this area and nourishing all living beings with warmth.

For countless years, it didn't change and became the norm.

Today was the same.

However, this morning was somewhat different from usual. Today's sunlight was brighter, and the temperature was more intense, almost thick.

All living beings were used to the norm, so their senses would immediately perceive when something unusual appeared within the norm.

This was instinct.

Whether it was cultivators, mortals, the various races, or anyone with life, it was the same.

Hence, at dawn, when the light in this area was incomparably bright, regardless of whether it was the nonhumans, cultivators, mortals, or even ferocious beasts, they raised their heads and looked at the sky.

At the next instant, the minds of all living beings stirred with monstrous rumbling. It was like a huge wave engulfing their souls, forming an earth-shattering storm that shook their bodies and swept through their minds.

Horror, shock, disbelief…

All kinds of emotions erupted at this moment.

This was because the various races living in the Nanhuang Continent, the Holy Wave Large Region, the Southern Isle Region, and the countless islands in the inner sea saw that in the sky…

Two suns appeared!

The world lit up!

The blackness of the Forbidden Sea, under the illumination of these two suns, even revealed a hint of green, causing all the boats sailing on the sea before dawn to halt in their tracks in astonishment.

Mortals even prostrated on the ground to worship.

All of this was extremely shocking to the little mute and the two deputy directors of the Homicide Department.

Erniu was still inhaling sharply.

Huang Yan's expression was even more solemn.

Under the gazes of everyone, the rotting giant strode toward the sky while the bronze dragon carriage behind him became increasingly resplendent.

Like a fireball, like a light source, like a great sun, its ascent was the very process of sunrise.

In this endless light and heat, Xu Qing sat upright in the dragon carriage. His mind was empty, completely focused on the transformation of the Golden Crow as it patrolled the world once again.

The Golden Crow Refines All Life art carved in the dragon carriage also seemed to have gained life at this moment. It flowed and appeared outside, forming light seals.

After converging, they vaguely formed a blurred figure standing desolately with his back to Xu Qing.

This figure was none other than the youth Huang Yan had seen earlier.

Xu Qing also saw him at this moment.

His mind rippled with emotion. The radiance of his Golden Crow and parts of the legacy he had seemed to create a mysterious resonance with this silhouette.

He felt loneliness, sadness, and longing…

This loneliness came from a long life.

This sadness came from the end of the race.

This longing came from the bond with Robin.

Xu Qing's mind unknowingly sank into these emotions until he vaguely heard a soft sigh.

"Sun patrolling the world."

At the next instant, the giant who was pulling the dragon carriage into the sky trembled. The light from the dragon carriage flowed in all directions, dyeing the dragon carriage golden. It was like a war chariot with a monstrous aura.

When it landed on the giant's body, it transformed into golden armor, causing the giant's aura to be filled with holiness.

The giant lifted its head, and its hollow eyes emitted light. A deep roar rang out from its mouth as it took large strides in the sky toward the outer sea.

Hence, in the eyes of all living beings, the additional sun changed its trajectory and moved toward the outer sea.

As it got closer, the darkness of the pitch-black outer sea churned.

For the first time in tens of thousands of years, there was light here.

When the light landed on the sea, it was unknown if it was refraction or its original color, the seawater… actually had a hint of purple.

The Golden Crow soared high in the sky, shining upon everything in the outer sea, moving in the sky.

Wherever it passed, it brought light and dispelled the darkness, causing the surface of the outer sea to be clearly visible.

The seawater in the outer sea was darker and denser than that in the inner sea, with significantly higher buoyancy.

There were very few large waves here.

Fragments of countless ancient ruins could be seen on the surface of the sea… There were boulders, giant corpses, and the ruins of mysterious temples…

There was a huge eye that was floating like an island.

A terrifying divine might spread through the seawater.

An unknown existence as vast as a province rose from the sea surface and gazed coldly at the sky.

It stared at the sun patrolling the world.

Time flowed by.

The giant pulled the dragon carriage and galloped in the sky of the outer sea. At noon, when the sun was the brightest, it stopped in the sky.

Countless obscure gazes and divine senses spread out from the outer sea, converging here as if they were witnessing something.

A long time later, the figure standing inside the dragon carriage in front of Xu Qing slowly turned around.

He stared at Xu Qing.

The instant His gaze met Xu Qing's, Xu Qing's mind rumbled.

Countless information surged into his mind like angry waves.

This was an inheritance!

It came from the Golden Crow, a true inheritance!

The Golden Crow that Xu Qing had converted into immediately shone.

At the next instant, the youth's figure closed His eyes.

The giant outside the dragon carriage let out a roar filled with sorrow and started the journey back.

Gradually, the temporarily driven-away darkness, as the dragon carriage departed into the distance, greedily spread out, filling the void left by the return of the dragon carriage.

Finally… at dusk, the dragon carriage left the outer sea.

The outer sea turned pitch-black again.

The golden armor on the giant's body slowly faded and his rotting body returned.

The light on the dragon carriage dimmed again, returning to its dilapidated state.

The dusk faded.

Under the gazes of Erniu and Huang Yan, the giant came from the sky. Step by step, as the aura of death permeated the air, it entered the inner sea.

The bronze dragon carriage also entered.

The moment it was about to sink into the sea, a gentle force spread out from the dragon carriage, sending Xu Qing, who was immersed in the inheritance, out.

After that, the dragon carriage completely sank into the sea.

As the giant pulled, an illusory palace of time seemed to appear at the seabed.

Outside the palace, the giant stopped and knelt there motionlessly.

The youth's blurry figure walked down from the bronze dragon carriage and walked into the palace step by step. His footsteps were very slow and every step He took exuded bleakness.

He walked inside the palace and sat down silently on the only seat.

Time fluctuated in the surroundings and musicians appeared.

Heavenly Voice Welcomes the Moon started playing faintly.

Amidst this beautiful tune, the youth lowered His head and listened alone.

However, no matter how this music played, there was no longer a moon called Robin on the Forbidden Sea.

Hence, solitude became eternal, drowning out the music and time, restoring the palace to its true form.

The broken walls and ruins lay everywhere.

It was like a tomb.

Outside the tomb, the giant kneeling there wept sorrowfully.

…

On the surface of the sea, Xu Qing sat cross-legged on the little mute's magic warship.

The little mute silently guarded beside him and was extremely vigilant against everyone here.

The two deputy directors who were standing in the distance still had shocked expressions. The way they looked at Xu Qing was as though they were looking at a god. Everything that happened today had exceeded their understanding and imagination.

They had heard of the legend of the dragon carriage, but they never expected that someone could sit in it, transform into the sun, and experience sunrise and sunset.

Hence, their minds were in turmoil and they couldn't calm down at all.

Erniu and Huang Yan couldn't take their eyes off Xu Qing.

This was especially so for Erniu. What happened to Xu Qing today shocked him greatly. Hence, he was even more curious about Xu Qing's harvest.

As for Huang Yan, he wasn't curious about Xu Qing's harvest, but had some questions about the Crown Prince Golden Crow and wanted to ask Xu Qing. However, he only stared at him for a while before his expression suddenly changed and abruptly looked at the horizon.

Red light appeared in the dark sky.

This light spread and invaded the night sky, causing the entire sky to turn red. It was the same for the sea, as though it had turned into a sea of blood.

This endless redness gathered together and converted a god.

This god walked over from the sky and reached on the magic warship in a single step. The instant He landed, the little mute and the other two fainted.

The blood wind blew, fluttering the god's crimson robes, raising His hair, revealing a face of enchanting beauty, which caught the eyes of Huang Yan and Erniu.

Erniu's eyes narrowed, then he displayed a surprised expression, rising and seemingly casually blocking in front of Xu Qing, bowing respectfully to the god.

"Senior, it was actually you. No wonder I felt that the world had lost its light just now."

Huang Yan didn't say a word. His entire body emitted terrifying fluctuations and his expression was solemn.

"No need to be nervous."

"I came here to ask Xu Qing to return the favor."

Jade Flowing Dust chuckled and sat down cross-legged. With a wave of His hand, a bamboo table appeared beside Him with four teacups.

After personally pouring the tea, He picked one up and took a sip. He then looked at Erniu and Huang Yan.

"Have some tea."
