Chapter 1129

~11 min read 2,054 words

The historical scene rippled in that blood color.

Countless grains of sand shook and flowed, emitting brilliant flowing light in the undercurrent of the long river of time.

Outside the light, the Aurora Young Master stared blankly at everything before him.

The words he couldn't hear back then because his own consciousness was isolated were all heard by him now as the historical scene shone.

So, everything in the childhood immortal palace was indeed fake.

So, Father's betrayal of the path was to seek death.

So, the cause and effect of seeking death was to protect himself.

His body trembled, and tears flowed as he watched his father rushing toward the Immortal Venerable in the scene.

Once, he didn't understand why his father was like this, and he couldn't forgive his grandfather, the Immortal Venerable...

But at this moment, after seeing the truth, all that remained for him was bitterness.

Fairy Linghuang sighed softly, and the hand she held never loosened in the slightest.

And Xu Qing, as a bystander, also had ripples in his heart.

The truth in this history seemed to have no wrong side.

Was the Immortal Lord wrong... to not want to continue the pain, he chose to betray the path and seek death, thereby severing the divine calamity in himself, so that his offspring would not be as painful as him.

This was the embodiment of fatherly love, so he was not wrong.

And was the Immortal Venerable wrong... for the sake of the entire Fifth Star Ring, he sacrificed this lineage of his, abandoning the small self to preserve the great self; this was also not wrong.

And looking at this historical scene, in reality... the solution mentioned by the Aurora Immortal Lord was clearly known to the Immortal Venerable with his ability long ago.

He knew that as long as he personally beheaded the Aurora Immortal Lord when the time came, everything could be resolved, and there was no need to rely on the method of generation-by-generation continuation and attrition to solve it.

And with his ability, he could naturally make this time come earlier, without needing to wait until now.

However, for the sake of the entire Fifth Star Ring, he who had paid almost everything chose to ignore this choice.

The emotion contained within this was also fatherly love.

He didn't want to lose his son.

So, even though a simpler and more direct method had existed long ago, he chose attrition generation after generation before this.

At least, walking this way, the Aurora Immortal Lord's life would still exist.

"He loved his son and couldn't bear to kill him, and his son also loved his son and chose to perish himself, unable to bear the continuation."

Xu Qing murmured in his heart.

And at this moment, the historical scene still flowed.

The Immortal Venerable, vast as the starry sky, only said that one sentence from beginning to end.

After that, he remained silent.

Even when the Aurora Immortal Lord shone with crimson light and approached seeking death, he was still silent.

Even when the roar echoed as the light shone, and the constitution from the Aurora Immortal Lord was corroding everything, he chose to remain silent.

Letting the Immortal Lord act.

Until the Aurora Immortal Lord's white hair gradually became black hair.

Until his white clothes slowly became black robes.

Until the aura of the gods began to erupt on the Aurora Immortal Lord...

The insane laughter grew louder and louder, and the hysterical roar echoed heaven-shakingly.

Those 'kill me' sounds rippled the historical scene, twisting everything, and everything was blurring.

The Divine Venerable seemed to be about to return on the Aurora Immortal Lord!

The Immortal Venerable closed his eyes and slowly, slowly raised his hand.

Falling gently.

Just like when he was still in the small world, he stroked his beloved son's head and said with a smile, when you grow up, I will take you to see the starry sky outside.

He did it.

With a roar, as his palm fell, the Aurora Immortal Lord's body gradually dissipated like flying ash, until it turned into red light spots, merging into the aurora filling the sky.

Dissipated, gone.

Form and spirit, both destroyed.

From now on in reincarnation, there is no more him.

In the light, the Immortal Venerable's closed eyes did not open.

He stood there silently, his figure desolate.

Until a long time later, he turned and walked toward the distance.

That lonely figure, whose back had always been straight, seemed to bend a lot as he left.

It seemed that at this moment, he was no longer the Immortal Venerable of the Fifth Star Ring.

He was just a lonely old man who had lost his beloved son and was immersed in bitterness.

Gradually blurred, finally... merging into the starry sky.

And in the starry sky, a low murmur echoed.

"Aurora, he was... giving you, giving the Immortal Venerable, giving the common people a reason for the Immortal Venerable to kill him justifiably...

With this, he freed himself...

Freed you...

And also freed the Immortal Venerable..."

"Fulfilling everyone."

As the voice drifted, fine silk threads appeared in the historical scene.

These silk threads flowed between the grains of sand; those were the secrets of history.

They slowly converged together, forming a figure, appearing in the historical scene, appearing before... the Aurora Immortal Lord and Fairy Linghuang.

Nine Shore Immortal Lord.

Aurora was silent, Linghuang lowered her head.

"And this history..."

Nine Shore shook his head.

"This history, below the Immortal Lord level, cannot be seen, cannot be known, because although the divine calamity is severed, as long as it is known by people, there is a possibility of forming cause and effect and traces with it."

"The Immortal Lord level can still avoid it, but below the Immortal Lord level, the risk is huge."

"This is also the reason why your father and I isolated you."

Nine Shore spoke softly.

"And at this moment, you have seen it, you have known it... so, actually, for the Immortal Venerable, for the sake of the future of the Fifth Star Ring, wiping you out is the best and most secure choice."

"But on one hand, one is my daughter, his granddaughter-in-law."

"The other is his grandson, and the undying sun and moon born from the life of cultivation at the moment the Fifth Star Ring became a land of cultivators in his body cannot be destroyed."

"There is another reason, which is..."

Nine Shore Immortal Lord paused.

"He softened his heart."

"This old man who could give up everything for the Fifth Star Ring, he, after all, still softened his heart."

"He chose to bear the cause and effect of the two of you himself."

"Now, leave."

Nine Shore raised his hand and waved gently forward.

Immediately, the ripples of history churned, the waves of the long river of time rose, and an irresistible force rolled over, wanting to send the Aurora Young Master and Fairy Linghuang out of this place...

And his figure also turned and walked toward the starry sky, everything behind him blurring.

Seeing that everything was about to dissipate.

The Aurora Young Master suddenly raised his head.

"The Immortal Venerable bears the cause and effect of Linghuang and me regarding this matter, but there is still a wisp of consciousness in my body, it is my benefactor, he..."

"He is fine." The departing Nine Shore Immortal Lord said lightly.

"The Immortal Venerable cannot bear the cause and effect on him, and as for the divine calamity... It also dares not."

As the words echoed, the long river of time rose in great waves, drowning everything, and also rolling the grains of sand that did not belong to this place in the waves out of the river surface, landing on the mirror on the river.

And then, the mirror dissipated.

When everything became clear again, the immortal palace appeared before their eyes.

It was not the ruins when they left; everything was as it was, preserved at the moment of the grand wedding.

It was just that there were no noisy people.

There were only the figures of the Aurora Young Master and Fairy Linghuang, and... a blurred body turned from a wisp of consciousness.

That was Xu Qing.

At the moment of returning, he had already detached from the Aurora Immortal Lord's body, and was now floating in mid-air, looking at the immortal palace, looking at the Aurora Young Master and Fairy Linghuang.

What happened here was like a dream.

And everything in the long river of time was even more like a dream.

At this moment, the dream was about to wake up.

And the harvest, for Xu Qing, could be called huge.

His space-time constitution, after experiencing all this, had supplemented almost all cognition.

He could feel that the distance to breaking through...

Was only one direction away.

This direction required him to choose.

The moment it was set was the instant it broke open.

As for the truth known in the dream and the cause and effect caused by it, Xu Qing did not care.

Even if Nine Shore Immortal Lord hadn't said that sentence, Xu Qing wouldn't have cared about it either.

Because the cause and effect of the divine remnant face was enough to suppress everything.

If that divine calamity really found him and wanted to use him to usher in the return of the Divine Venerable, then... Xu Qing felt that the remnant face might be even happier.

It was just that the flow of emotions brought to his heart after knowing the truth of history was still spreading now.

Thus, Xu Qing looked toward the Aurora Young Master and Fairy Linghuang.

The two were silent.

After a long while, the Aurora Young Master raised his hand, and with a wave, a piece of time sand flew out, converging into an hourglass before Xu Qing.

The sand inside exceeded the previous one.

It was no longer one hour, but one day.

"Little friend, this journey... thank you."

The Aurora Young Master looked at Xu Qing and spoke softly.

"I have no regrets; next, I will choose to leave, and according to my father's wish, go and walk my own life..."

Speaking of this, he looked toward Fairy Linghuang beside him.

Linghuang's gaze was gentle, and she nodded lightly.

Thus, a smile appeared on Aurora's face; this smile carried melancholy for the past and also contained relief.

Afterwards, they stepped forward, walking onto the sky, walking onto the void.

And the entire world, along with their departure, began to blur; it seemed that the flow of ten million years of time at this place at this moment was about to weather everything.

Xu Qing raised his head, looking at the two in the firmament, and the voice from the sky echoed in his ears.

"Little friend, I actually can't help you too much with your space-time constitution."

"But I remember my father once said back then, after space-time..."

"Is parallel!"

The instant this sentence came, the moment it fell into Xu Qing's consciousness, it was like countless thunderbolts roaring, making Xu Qing's eyes reveal extremely intense light in an instant.

Like an enlightenment.

He, understood!

And the sound of the firmament still echoed at this moment.

"I give you the ownership of the immortal palace, leaving everything here to you."

"With your current understanding of space-time, you should be able to understand."

"From now on... see you again if fate allows."

"Little friend, thank you for helping me, and for all this help to my husband; you can go to the divine blood river later, I left a gift for you there..."

The last sentence was said by Fairy Linghuang.

And as their words came, as their figures went far away, the weathering of this entire immortal palace accelerated even more.

In just a few breaths, while Xu Qing's mind understood the direction, this place walked through ten million years.

All the buildings, finally along with the world itself, turned into flying ash and drifted away.

The space-time ripples from this fourth-layer world also dissipated along with it.

But, in Xu Qing's heart, the river water formed by his space-time constitution.

Had already turned from a trickling stream into a magnificent river.
