Outside of Time

Or, it is inappropriate to use the word "as if".

Because at this moment, those memories of the past are really emerging from the illusion and gradually becoming real.

And these real scenes, once they are formed, can replace the present.

Time seems to become elusive at this moment. It is no longer flowing forward or backward, but has become a vortex.

In this vortex, there is Xu Qing's past, his present, and his future.

It's just that the picture of the future is blurry and not clear at all. Now that it is blended together, it is even more so.

And the word time has become strange.

It seems that it has lost its own concept!

Perhaps, the word time is just a definition for intelligent life to understand for itself.

The real it actually does not need any definition, and all definitions may not be able to fully express it.

Xu Qing's mind was churning, and this strange cognition just poured into his mind.

Subverted everything.

And the world, in front of Xu Qing's eyes, has changed again.

In his blur, he saw a number of indescribable gods walking in the void, stirring up the whirlpools defined as time one after another.

They all looked different. Xu Qing could see them, but he couldn't put them together in words, as if describing this behavior was not allowed.

He saw countless stars collapsing and shattering, and more suns and moons were forming.

But in the end, they were taken down and put on their bodies by them, becoming patterns.

Others became tools that Xu Qing couldn't understand, forming things and colors that he couldn't understand.

The same was true for the starry sky. Xu Qing saw a god holding a brush made of stars and painting.

Wherever he painted, the starry sky was getting bigger.

This scene was incredible and unreal.

But the next moment, everything disappeared again, became hazy, and changed its appearance, as if everything before was what Xu Qing thought of himself, so it was formed.

Incomprehensible, incredible.

Xu Qing's sea of ​​consciousness trembled and roared at this moment. All these pictures made him unable to believe.

He even saw emperors in imperial robes wailing in pain and struggling to resist, but in front of the gods, everything seemed meaningless.

The murmur from the remnant of the gods, the spell, seemed to open up a strange world.

Here...

The time you think of is not the same in the gods' minds.

The space you understand is not the same in the gods' perception.

The knowledge you master may not be correct in the eyes of the gods.

Even what you see is what the gods let you see unintentionally.

The reason why it is unintentional is that they will not do it on purpose.

All this made Xu Qing's consciousness collapse.

Until the next moment, a figure appeared in front of him, like a huge mountain, blocking everything from the outside world for him, covering all the chaos, and blocking all sights.

And Xu Qing's perception finally recovered at this moment.

His body fell to the ground with a bang, and the waves in his heart and the churning of cognition turned into waves, constantly bombarding his mind and making him unstable.

As he staggered backwards, Xu Qing couldn't hold back and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

His expression kept changing, and he suddenly looked up at Princess Mingmei who was blocking him.

"Did you sense it?"

Princess Mingmei turned around, staring at Xu Qing with deep meaning in her eyes.

Xu Qing's breathing was rapid, and a storm roared in his heart. Countless thunders seemed to be exploding, and there was a strong sense of horror in his eyes. It was not until a long while later that he barely recovered a little.

He nodded heavily.

"What is He talking about? And I feel like I saw it, but it seems that I didn't see it. I clearly remember it, but it seems that I have forgotten it."

"All the pictures, everything, seem to be overturned."

Xu Qing's body trembled, and the cold feeling of childhood, with this experience, reappeared in his body. He felt very cold, cold to the bones, and froze his soul...

"He is counting down."

Princess Mingmei spoke softly.

"Practicing, after the arrival of the remnant of the gods, is actually a helpless pain, and also a road of no return."

"In this world, heterogeneity is everywhere, some can be sensed, and some cannot be peeked."

"They invade all things in the world, changing their forms and internal qualities, some turning into ashes, and some becoming the source of evil."

"And the mortal beings... even more so, the process of life has also been changed, and they have to adapt."

"For cultivators, this phenomenon is more serious. At low levels, alienation will occur. When it reaches the critical point, they will either die or become one of the alien beasts."

"Only in the middle level, are you the happiest. At this time, most people think that heterogeneity can be suppressed and ignored, but in fact, it is because of cognitive obstacles. Not understanding is happiness."

"Until you practice to a high level... the expansion of cognition will change everything."

"Like us... everything you just saw, we have to bear it all the time."

Princess Mingmei's tone was calm, but her voice was tired. The prince beside her sighed lightly, looked at Xu Qing, and shook his head.

"But what can we do?"

"And those things may not be true. We can only say that they are just a small part."

"Even my father once said something back then."

"We think they are outsiders, but is that really the case? Perhaps in their understanding, we... are."

"Is it possible that this place has always been...the kingdom of gods?"

"I don't know the answer either."

The prince shook his head.

Xu Qing was silent.

"These issues are not something you can think about now. It's good for you to feel them. It will make it easier for you to understand the world better."

The prince patted Xu Qing's shoulder.

"Remember, in the future, don't use your poison-forbidden eyes to look at the broken face before you are ready. He... is supreme and cannot be looked at directly."

"Let's go home."

Xu Qing nodded silently, and followed the prince and Princess Mingmei to leave the valley and return to the medicine shop.

And what he experienced this time, half a month later, still surfaced in his heart and affected his thoughts.

He couldn't stop thinking, couldn't stop trying to understand.

Until this day, the oil the captain mentioned appeared.

In the sky, the red moon star is closer to the Moon Sacrifice Domain, so when you look up, you will see that the star is getting bigger and clearer.

And the redness of the sky became more and more dazzling, reflecting on the earth, turning the entire Moon Festival area into a red area.

The tidal reaction was equally strong, with landslides and ground cracking all the time, and roaring sounds continuing in all directions.

The power of cultivation of all the temple monks who believed in the Red Mother was blessed, and there was a surge in varying degrees, and the power of the divine skills displayed was even more shocking.

As a result, the five resistance armies formed with the five deputy palace masters of the Niyue Palace as the source, and under the suppression of the Red Moon Palace, the stalemate was broken.

They began to collapse and panic.

To make matters worse, when the red moon and stars were so close and the tidal reaction was overwhelming, a strange thing happened in the entire Moon Festival area.

It got bigger.

The original continent split apart in this fragmentation, and new plates rose from the depths of the earth, where deep pits existed.

The same is true for the former mountains. After the collapse, new mountains appeared.

The breath of the gods is constantly emerging in all these new places.

And from these deep pits, from these mountains, from all the newly formed earth, a group of special beings awakened.

They are ugly in appearance, like monsters, without consciousness, full of madness, like insects and beasts, and they burst out in countless numbers.

Each head contains the fluctuations of the gods. The body is as small as several feet, and some are tens of feet or even a hundred feet long.

The cruelty is extremely strong, and the feeling of madness pervades all directions.

There is even more hunger, which is expressed fiercely on their bodies.

So wherever they go, everything in the world, even the soil, mountains and rocks, are their food, not to mention the flesh and blood of all living beings.

They eat everything and devour everything. They rush out from multiple areas and spread throughout the entire Moon Festival area.

It seems like this is their feast.

And death, with all this going on, is present with every breath.

The inside of the Niyue Palace has also become extremely depressed. The temples are completely dim and the masters inside them have died.

Pills are even more important at this moment.

Although Xu Qing is in the pure land of the Kusheng Mountain Range, he is still delivering the elixirs here, and he no longer has to pay anything.

But it still cannot meet the demand.

Xu Qing originally planned to refine it in large quantities, but unexpectedly, it still appeared.

On this day, the Kusheng Mountains were shaking, a large number of rocks fell off, the peaks collapsed everywhere, and a deep pit tore out from the inside as the mountains collapsed.

Its location is right under the Red Moon Temple in Kusheng Mountain Range.

Looking at the entire domain, we can find that every such place actually has a Red Moon Temple nearby.

Although the desert wind can prevent outsiders from entering, it cannot stop those who are here.

As a result, countless ferocious beings rushed out like a tide.

For a moment, the crazy roar became the most heart-shaking sound in this place besides the sound of wind.

As for the monks in the desert, facing this scene, they must resist if they don't want to die.

Especially the Shoufeng clan, the whole clan mobilized, together with other large and small forces, to fight against these crazy monsters.

The Crown Prince and Princess Mingmei also walked out at the moment when the earth was shaking. It seemed that this was what they were waiting for.

Xu Qing followed behind.

"Xu Qing, see clearly these demon-like existences."

"Their appearance is not accidental. They are the descendants of Chi Mu who have not yet formed consciousness. They are representatives of chaos. They are formed by the unnecessary substances released by Chi Mu during the process of becoming a god."

The prince walked between heaven and earth, approaching the pit where all this happened, and spoke calmly.

"These are actually the real sons of God."

Xu Qing lowered his head and looked at the mountains below.

This was not the first time he knew about this. The captain also told him when he left the highest hall of Niyue Palace, and this... is the oil that the captain mentioned.
