Chapter 1098: Wanting to See the Truth

Whether the Mud Fox could have entered this fourth layer of the world together, Xu Qing was not sure.

Now he: his physical body and soul were not his own. Only his consciousness descended on this Aurora Young Master in time, replacing everything of the other party to perform a finale that seemed impossible to change.

History cannot be changed.

This was the sentence the small person transformed from Aurora's residual consciousness had told Xu Qing back then.

He had once told Xu Qing that after entering the fourth layer of the world, one only needed to follow the development of history, to see, to listen, and to feel.

But Xu Qing did not think so. Because in this way, for him or other stars who came here, the significance was not great.

If one simply looks and feels, then the good fortune or opportunities, the past is not necessarily the best, and the advancement of the era often brings forth the new.

So in Xu Qing's judgment, the greatest opportunity for entering this fourth layer of the world must be related to the benefits hidden in this period of time.

"Then, what exactly is it?"

Xu Qing murmured in his heart, letting the thunder fall on his body, and began his observation, his perception.

Just like this, time passed.

Five days passed.

In these five days, Zhong Chi came every day, accompanying him on the cliff.

As a companion reader, this was his mission, at least on the surface it was like this.

And in secret, taking advantage of the time the Young Master was punished, he actually had rare freedom and could do some secret things that belonged to his own good fortune.

So for the Young Master being hung there and punished, Zhong Chi was indifferent. He even hoped that the time could be longer.

Xu Qing occasionally swept his gaze over, knowing it well. But there was no need to expose it; just as he did not want others to know his identity, everyone who came to this fourth layer of the world had their own things to do.

As for himself, during the days of accepting punishment on this Punishment Thunder Cliff, through these lightning bolts falling on his body, he also explored this world more and more.

"The spiritual energy, lightning, and even the aura of heaven and earth here... all contain a faint sense of time."

"Compared to the real world, there is a subtle gap."

"And real history, if one wants to change it, naturally the difficulty is huge, and there is a constraint of a higher Constitution, which will not let history be changed, thereby forming a space-time storm, rippling the entire Fifth Star Ring."

"But the period of time I am in, most likely, might not be real history!"

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, guessing in his heart while being bombarded by thunder.

It was not to say that this period of history did not exist in reality, but based on Xu Qing's understanding of space-time, he felt that the past images displayed by this fourth layer of the world were more like mirror images.

"This point still needs to be verified."

While thinking, Xu Qing would occasionally wail a few times, making this performance conform to the past.

Besides this, Xu Qing was also thinking about another thing in these five days.

That was whether there were others who entered this world like Li Mengtu, besides those stars.

And the roles played by those who entered here.

"This is also a point I need to observe after I leave the Punishment Thunder Cliff."

Xu Qing pondered.

He did not have the idea of becoming someone else's obstacle, but in this fourth layer of the world, if he could know the identities played by others, then undoubtedly it would give Xu Qing a huge advantage in his judgment of the world and his own situation.

"Knowing how they carry out their own good fortune will prove my guess even more."

"If my guess is true, this world is just a mirror image..."

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, thoughts rising in his heart.

"Then, trying to pry this period of time, like making the sea of death ripple, and looking at the changes in space-time from within, this will allow me to comprehend the Space-Time Constitution to a deeper level."

"Only in this way can it be called a Space-Time Master!"

"Also, I don't know if that Aurora Immortal Lord will come again in these few days..."

Xu Qing looked up, gazing into the distance. When the Aurora Immortal Lord appeared before, it was the moment Xu Qing had just descended on this place and did not know about this place. To prevent accidents, he did not observe the Immortal Lord.

But now, through these days of exploration, he had gained many gains.

It was just a pity that as the sixth day passed, although someone came, it was not the Immortal Lord.

The person who came was riding a Nine Phoenix Carriage, covered by a curtain, and his figure could not be seen clearly.

Only the brilliant carriage could be seen shining in the lightning, as if it could illuminate every corner of the Immortal Palace. And the Nine Phoenixes pulling the carriage, their cries caused heaven and earth to change color, each like fire, as if wanting to burn the universe.

And there were countless gems embedded on the carriage, flashing with the slight shaking of the Phoenix Carriage, like the brightest stars in the universe, making people unable to help but pay attention.

Besides this, around the carriage, accompanied by hundreds of guards, each was wearing pitch-black armor, holding a long spear, exuding a terrifying aura from their whole bodies.

Their steps were neat and uniform, coming with the carriage.

The sense of solemnity on their bodies seemed to represent their determination to guard this supreme dignity and majesty.

Flying slowly into the Punishment Thunder Cliff. Stopping thirty feet in front of Xu Qing who was hanging in mid-air.

Subsequently, from inside the carriage, behind the seven-colored curtain, a jade hand reached out. This hand was like congealed fat, exuding a faint warm luster, and paused slightly after reaching out.

Subsequently, it lifted gently outward, outlining an elegant arc in the air, and lifted the curtain. Revealing an elegant figure, and a beautiful face.

In the flash of lightning, that beautiful face seemed to be plated with a thin layer of silver, adding a few points of indescribable holiness and dreaminess.

Making everything around lose its color.

And her eyes were deep and bright, her nose bridge was straight, her lines were smooth, her lips were naturally pink and tender, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth should have outlined a gentle smile, but at this moment it was held back, trying hard to display a sense of anger.

As she walked out, behind that graceful figure, her hair was like a waterfall, pouring down, black and bright, brushing past her shoulders, dispelling some anger and adding a few points of tenderness and charm. A few steps, she walked in front of Xu Qing, and opened her red lips lightly.

"Heartless person!"

Xu Qing looked up, looking at the beautiful woman in front of him.

Through the host's memory, he naturally recognized the other party's identity at a glance. This woman was exactly the daughter of the Nine Shores Immortal Lord, Zhou Linshan.

That was the object he was set to marry in a month by the Aurora Immortal Lord.

It had to be said that this daughter of the Nine Shores Immortal Lord was perfect in every aspect.

In her body, it seemed to contain a kind of beauty that transcended the world, a kind of holiness and purity that made people yearn for but did not dare to touch easily.

Especially under the blowing of the breeze, her hair fluttered lightly, as if intertwined with her figure into a heart-moving picture. Even such a face, such a temperament, seemed like a fairy walking out of an ancient painting, or a treasure bestowed upon the world by heaven.

Even though her tone carried anger at this moment, her voice was also like heavenly music.

But unfortunately, Xu Qing was not the Aurora Young Master.

His gaze was calm, he looked at the woman in front of him, and then closed his eyes, ignoring her.

"Thin-hearted person!"

The woman's eyes were resentful, and she scolded again, subsequently her gaze swept over the wounds on Xu Qing's body, and her expression seemed to be unable to help but feel heartache again.

Thus, although she was scolding, she still took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood stains on Xu Qing's body.

On that jade hand, it seemed to contain endless tenderness, as if it could smooth out all the noise and restlessness in the world, and at this moment, while wiping, she spoke.

"You were eloquent before, sweet-talking, but now you are like this. I know you are reluctant to part with your Hundred Flowers Palace, then why did you come to provoke me in the first place?"

"Your father has already proposed marriage, and our engagement is set for a month later. I know your heart is not on me."

The woman was speaking, and before she could finish, Xu Qing's eyes suddenly opened, and his right hand, bound by lightning, raised instantly, grabbing the woman's wrist.

The woman paused, did not struggle, but looked at Xu Qing.

"You wiped it all clean, how can I express my repentance to my father?" After saying this, Xu Qing let go of her hand.

The woman snorted, but did not continue wiping.

"Is this because you are reluctant to part with your Hundred Flowers Palace, and want to rely on the misery of your body to make the Aurora Immortal Lord soften his heart?"

"I will go and dismantle your Hundred Flowers Palace right now!"

Saying this, the woman turned around angrily and walked back to the carriage. A maidservant lifted the curtain for her, and she walked into the carriage without stopping.

Subsequently, the carriage turned, and under the guard of the surrounding guards, left the Punishment Thunder Cliff and gradually moved away.

Zhong Chi looked up and spoke in a low voice.

"Young Master, why do you have to do this..."

Xu Qing did not speak, and at this moment closed his eyes. In his eyes that no one could see, a strange light was revealed. His mind repeatedly surfaced the scene of the Nine Shores daughter from appearing until leaving. There were a few details. One was the action of lifting the curtain herself when she walked out of the carriage.

This point was a bit unreasonable, because in the memory Xu Qing obtained, the other party's identity and status, and the habits formed since childhood, made it impossible for her to lift the curtain herself.

Of course, this matter also had reasons for explanation, such as being anxious.

But there was another detail, that was after he suddenly grabbed her arm, the other party seemed as usual, but in fact, there was an instinctively deep rejection.

Although it was incomparably slight, Xu Qing, with intention, still perceived it slightly.

This was very strange.

After all, the host and the other party had already had skin-to-skin contact.

Similarly, this matter was not absolute, and also had reasons for explanation.

However, the details were not just these two points, there was another point.

This woman, after being grabbed by him,

After he grabbed her arm, while she was repelling him, she also developed an external vigilance. This vigilance was unreasonable given the other party's identity. And these three points, if looked at individually, were not big problems and could be explained. But when put together and presented in Xu Qing's mind, it was different.

Especially when adding a guess to these three details, Xu Qing discovered that all the unreasonableness became reasonable.

This guess was...

She is an outsider.

That is why there would be lapses in detail, why there would be instinctive repulsion, and why, upon entering this Fourth Layer world, she would experience vigilance toward her surroundings during a moment of stress.

Finally, Xu Qing murmured in his heart.

"She is most likely not the real Zhou Linshan!"

"Which star is it? Among those few stars, only one is female, though other possibilities cannot be ruled out."

Xu Qing opened his eyes and looked into the distance.

"If she is a star, then... what is her purpose?"
