Outside Of Time
chapter-775

He was about to walk out.

"Senior Brother, this is my affair. If you were to perish, even if I were to live on, I would regret it for the rest of my life."

Xu Qing pressed hard on the captain's shoulder, then looked into his eyes and said softly.

The captain remained silent. At the same time, the power of the Purple Moon surged within Xu Qing, the Poison Restriction Pill erupted, the force of D132 emerged, and the phantom of the Ghost Emperor Mountain appeared behind him.

The captain sighed inwardly.

Those who broke through the sky had to bear its weight, but this weight was too heavy.

Xu Qing silently walked forward, his body suddenly growing to over ten feet tall, shouldering the dense anomalous substances in this place. He looked up at the fragmented-face of the Deputy Governor in the air.

The Deputy Governor's eyes stared at Xu Qing and his divine sense echoed in all directions.

"Xu Qing, do you know that this place… is the place where I died back then? After the crown prince died in the Nanhuang Continent, I was here looking at the fragmented-face of the god in the sky while digging out my flesh bit by bit, carving myself into the appearance of It."

"I prayed to see my lord again in the future."

"Xu Qing, you were right when you said that I'm not worthy of following my lord. Back then, many people said the same thing."

"Therefore, I didn't dodge your attack just now to punish myself."

"But my plan must still be completed, and I cannot leave yet. So, I choose to reveal my true form, accepting the aura of the Wanggu willingly, no longer pure, making myself without a past, present, or future, eliminating any possibility of reincarnation, solidifying my current form."

"From now on, the previous moment is my past. This moment is my present and the next moment is my future."

"I, Bai Xiaozhuo, rarely explain so much to others, but I think you're worth it."

The Deputy Governor spoke softly and his gaze landed on the city.

"It's a pity that I can't wait for the most suitable time. In the end, I didn't become the county governor. Without the blessing of Fenghai County's fortune, I can only forcefully push many things… Sigh."

The Deputy Governor sighed. Deceiving all living beings, being recognized by heaven, earth, and human as the county governor, and obtaining the fortune of the entire Fenghai County - this was what he yearned for.

In his plan, the aid he provided to the human race allowed the human's fortune to transform from weak to vigorous. After all, he contributed to expanding their territory and the return of the Holy Wave Race.

This way, he could use Fenghai's fortune to guide even more fortune of the human race.

This was the most critical step in all his plans.

But now, he had failed.

"Xu Qing, you've succeeded. Even if I kill everyone here, it'll still be difficult for me to complete my plan perfectly. I can only force it."

"By forcing me to harvest the fruit before it fully ripened, you disrupted many of my plans and might even have caused me to lose the trust of my people."

Xu Qing fell silent. He could tell that the Deputy Governor wanted to speak.

"Back then, I offered myself to the god in exchange for an opportunity to follow the crown prince, but the god ignored me. Hence, I willingly transformed myself into a magic treasure and was willing to give up my soul and everything. The god still ignored me."

"I didn't know what the god wanted until the fall of the Purple Green Kingdom. At that moment, I realized what It desired. With tears in my eyes, I slaughtered all the people in the county, whether cultivators or ordinary folks, regardless of age. They didn't resist, allowing me to act as I pleased. After I killed all the inhabitants of the county, It finally nodded in approval."

"At that time, I promised the souls of the people I killed that I would bring them back together."

"Now, my people, all of you, return from the land of the wicked."

His voice contained the feeling of time, as though it had come from tens of thousands of years ago and drifted through the long river of time, echoing in the present.

Amidst the blood rain, amidst the anomalous substances, the bodies of all living beings in the county trembled. Their expressions turned from pain to numbness. The aura of life rose above everyone's heads, accompanied by traces of fortune that were forcefully extracted.

Their bodies began to wither and caved in, but they didn't die.

It wasn't just the human race. At this moment, the mountains and rivers in the county capital shook. From the ground, from the river, from the vegetation, from the mountain peaks.

Endless life and fortune continued to rise and were forcefully extracted, gathering toward the capital city.

At the same time, in the 13 provinces of Fenghai County, other than the three lost and burned provinces, all the remaining sects and forces, as well as the ancestral lands of the various races, were shaking.

It was the same in the Yinghuang Province.

The entire Fenghai County trembled, and the newer mountain ranges collapsed one after another, while the ancient mountains that had disappeared in the passage of time rose from the earth.

Since the existence of the Purple Green Kingdom until now, tens of thousands of years had passed. The terrain of the entire Fenghai County had changed greatly, but no matter how great the change was, it was reversing at this moment.

The terrain that belonged to the Purple Green Kingdom was reappearing.

Rivers formed and mountain ranges rose. If one overlooked the entire Fenghai County from a high altitude, they would discover that these mountain ranges that had returned from ancient times formed an incomparably huge rune.

As the rune gradually completed, and the hearts of all the people in Fenghai County surged with emotions, three enormous and fishbone-like divine spikes shot up from three different directions, piercing through the sky and reaching the heavens.

After penetrating the firmament, they created ripples that covered the entire sky of Fenghai County, transforming into a second layer of the sky.

This sky was like a painting.

The world in the painting wasn't the Wanggu Continent but a pitch-black world.

The familiar aura made Xu Qing immediately recognize that the world within the painting was the place where every cultivator attracted malevolent spirits when building their foundation.

Foundation Building cultivators needed a simulated life lantern to protect them. Only its fire could protect them. Foundation Building cultivators who didn't have a life lantern would attract great terror.

This was something that every cultivator was informed about before they started the foundation building.

However, no one knew what that world was.

Due to an accident in the foundation building, the mute was possessed by an evil soul and was later saved by Xu Qing.

Now, Xu Qing knew that that world was called the land of the wicked.

It was also the place the Crimson Goddess headed to!
