Open up and break into another world

“Xu Ming, you shouldn't have agreed to his challenge!”

Cheng Xuan shook his head.

“Oh?” Xu Ming looked at him, puzzled.

Xu Ming's strength had already been demonstrated, being much stronger than Huang Yu; Xu Ming's talent was even far superior to Huang Yu's!

—Since his strength and talent both surpass his opponent, why fear his next challenge?

“It's not that simple!” Cheng Xuan shook his head again, “Let's find a place to sit down, and I'll explain it to you in detail!”

“Alright!”

… …

Soon, Xu Ming and Cheng Xuan were sitting opposite each other, enjoying tea.

“Is there something peculiar about this Ancient Remnant World?” Xu Ming couldn't help but ask.

“Xu Ming, you're new to the Chaotic Secret Realm and don't understand many of the special aspects of the endless chaos!” Cheng Xuan said.

“Mm!” Xu Ming admitted.

Cheng Xuan continued, “The Ancient Remnant World is a very magical place within the endless chaos; it could even be called… the most magical place!”

“The most magical?”

“Yes!” Cheng Xuan nodded, “In the Ancient Remnant World, even if countless eons pass, when you return to the endless chaos, only a few years or centuries might have passed!”

“What!?” Xu Ming was shocked, “Do you mean… the flow of time in the Ancient Remnant World is different from that in the endless chaos?”

“Not exactly!” Cheng Xuan smiled, “There are indeed some secret realms in the endless chaos with different time flows; but even if the time flow is different, it won't differ too drastically!

—The endless chaos has its own order, which will correct those distorted time flows!”

“Indeed!” Xu Ming also knew something about this.

Yu, Zhou.

The four directions, up and down, are called Yu; the past and present are called Zhou.

The endless chaos is only the spatial aspect of the universe, which is “Yu.” The universe also has a temporal aspect, “Zhou,” which is—the River of Time!

The River of Time flows ceaselessly.

Although the time flow is consistent in most places, in the vast and turbulent River of Time, some “time whirlpools” inevitably appear; these time whirlpools are places where the time flow is different.

The distortion of time flow by time whirlpools isn't that strong!

Moreover, time whirlpools don't exist stably and can be washed away by the River of Time at any time.

“Then…” Xu Ming suddenly looked surprised, “Could it be… that the Ancient Remnant World is located outside the endless chaos?”

“Not exactly!” Cheng Xuan stopped beating around the bush and said directly, “The Ancient Remnant World is actually… the ‘previous life’ of the endless chaos!”

The endless chaos's… previous life?

This left Xu Ming somewhat confused—could the endless chaos have a previous life?

“You should have heard that the current endless chaos was established by the Divine Phoenix World Master after killing a Supreme!” Cheng Xuan said.

“Yes!” Xu Ming had heard about this when he first arrived at the Origin Land!

Moreover, he had also heard that there seemed to be Supreme Realm experts, above the heavens and earth, who wanted to invade the endless chaos; however, they were all blocked by the Divine Phoenix World Master!

Cheng Xuan added, “That Supreme who was killed was the ruler of the Ancient Remnant World!”

Speaking of this, Cheng Xuan's eyes showed admiration and reverence: “The Supreme fell, the Ancient Remnant World shattered, and the Divine Phoenix World Master re-established order, creating the endless chaos!”

“Although the Ancient Remnant World shattered countless eons ago, some remnants still remain to this day!

Moreover…” Cheng Xuan continued, “In the deepest depths of the Ancient Remnant World, there are even remnants of the Ancient Remnant World's River of Time!—That River of Time is too broken, it can no longer maintain its illusory form and has materialized!”

“Materialized?” Xu Ming was stunned.

The River of Time could materialize? What would happen then?

“Yes!” Cheng Xuan nodded solemnly, “As long as one's cultivation reaches the Chaos Realm, one can see the manifestation of the River of Time in the core of the Ancient Remnant World!

Following the River of Time upstream, one can… return to the past!”

Return to the past!!?

Xu Ming's heart shook greatly, and countless thoughts even flooded his mind—if he returned to the past, back to when he had just transmigrated to another world, what would happen?

Or, what if he returned to before he transmigrated to another world?

In that case… would the history of the endless chaos be rewritten?

Cheng Xuan seemed to see Xu Ming's thoughts and smiled, “It's not returning to the ‘past’ of the endless chaos, but returning to the ‘past’ of the Ancient Remnant World!—The endless chaos is a complete world with incredibly strict order!

The River of Time in the endless chaos is not so easily disturbed!”

“Returning to the past of the Ancient Remnant World? That is… returning to the time when the Ancient Remnant World hadn't shattered yet?” Xu Ming couldn't help but ask.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

“Correct!” Cheng Xuan nodded, “Following the River of Time upstream, returning to the Ancient Remnant World before it shattered!

However… the River of Time in the Ancient Remnant World is too broken, so it cannot bear too much power to flow upstream; at most, only the cultivation of the Primordial Realm can return to the past; moreover, as this River of Time becomes more and more broken, the power it can bear will also become lower and lower… until finally, the River of Time completely collapses, and the Ancient Remnant World will no longer exist!”

“Imagine—if Huang Yu enters the Ancient Remnant World, returns to the past, and successfully returns!

He might have spent countless eons of time in the Ancient Remnant World, but after returning, only a few centuries or millennia might have passed in the endless chaos!” Cheng Xuan continued, “At that time, how can you be his opponent?”

“Then…” Xu Ming said, “Entering the Ancient Remnant World doesn't seem like a bad thing?”

“Haha…” Cheng Xuan laughed, “If it weren't a bad thing, Huang Yu wouldn't be so terrified!

The Spirit of the Battle Stage wouldn't use a contract to force him to go to the core of the Ancient Remnant World!—Do you think it's so safe to go upstream in the River of Time?

Moreover, even if he successfully returns to the ‘past’ of the Ancient Remnant World, in that place of collapsing order, any danger could befall him!

Even, the Ancient Remnant World could completely shatter and disappear at any time, in which case, Huang Yu would disappear directly with the Ancient Remnant World!”

“Moreover…” Cheng Xuan added, “The Divine Phoenix Essence in the hands of the Spirit of the Battle Stage is not so easy to obtain!

Huang Yu's contract should be for the Divine Phoenix World Master to do something almost impossible in the Ancient Remnant World!”

Something almost impossible to accomplish?

… …

After Cheng Xuan left, Xu Ming began to ponder in his heart whether he should venture into the Ancient Remnant World.

After all, what Xu Ming needs most now is time!

As long as he goes to the Ancient Remnant World to cultivate, he will have plenty of time; when he breaks through and returns from the Ancient Remnant World, only a few years might have passed in the endless chaos!

“Little Cheat, if I fall in the Ancient Remnant World, can the ‘Undying Imprint’ Cheat revive me?” Xu Ming asked in his heart.

“Yes!” This was the Little Cheat's answer.
