Chapter 1308: Two Sides of Spacetime

~7 min read 1,285 words

Xu Qing raised his hand and pressed it against his brow.

He transformed the life experiences stored in his memories into countless streams of light, drawing them out and gathering them before him.

As the first piece of his own puzzle!

And as the anchor point for comprehending the spacetime turbulence.

This point, like a seed, grew by drawing upon Xu Qing's life.

It also drew strength from fate, spreading from Xu Qing's cocoon into the spacetime turbulence, extracting what it needed from within the chaos.

Thus, what appeared on this puzzle piece was Xu Qing's past.

Within it were his childhood born in Wushuang City, the hardships of his journey onward, the tempering of the Seven Blood Eyes, and the trials of the Merfolk Isle.

Moreover, the process of becoming a sword-bearer, the events of Feng Haijun, the great battle of the Red Mother, and the rise of humanity...

It contained all events, as well as Xu Qing's fate and life.

This was a complete context.

"Then the subsequent pieces..."

Within the cocoon, Xu Qing gazed intently at the fate divine aspect before him, sensing the first puzzle piece he had set down, and after pondering, he made a decision.

"With the people I have met along this path of mine, let them be the subsequent pieces!"

In the next instant, as the fate divine aspect shimmered, the fragments of Xu Qing's life gathered upon it, revealing countless figures from memory.

There were relatives from Wushuang City, and enemies from the wilderness...

There was Lei Ting's team, all members of the Lei Ting Squad, and also Seventh Uncle.

There was Chen Erniu, Huang Yan, Second Senior Sister, and Third Senior Brother.

Among them, Yan Yan, Zhao Zhongheng, and Ding Xue were all inside.

Also present were Zhang San, the little mute, Wu Jianwu, and Kong Xianglong.

There was also Qingqiu and Ning Yan, and naturally Immortal Zixuan and Ling'er.

Even the Mingnan Shizi, the Empress, and the Sword-Wielding Great Emperor were within.

Ultimately, what emerged were the people Xu Qing encountered after leaving Eastern Wanggu.

Dense and numerous, they included Xing Huanzi, Li Mengtu, Zhou Zhengli, and so on.

These individuals, each having intersected with him, and the sparks generated at the moment of their intersection, manifested here as new puzzle pieces.

The second piece, the third piece, the fourth piece...

Increasing in number, and guided by the power of fate, they drew spacetime power from the outside world, gathering the nutrients from the disordered spacetime onto each appearing puzzle piece.

Causing these pieces to continuously spread, becoming ever more comprehensive.

Within them lay the entire lives of everyone Xu Qing knew.

Even based on the puzzle pieces they themselves generated, once they grew to a certain extent, they began to manifest new fate threads, forming new puzzle pieces.

This was the evolution of fate's power, whereby they should connect with more existences, producing more causality.

Now, all appeared upon the fate map Xu Qing outlined using the power of fate.

Time passed.

Xu Qing gazed at the puzzle before him, like an observer, watching those familiar people and their life trajectories.

And this fate puzzle no longer required his active propulsion; it had formed a self-sustaining cycle, continuously expanding before him.

The drawing of spacetime power from the outside was likewise.

Thus, it grew ever larger and broader, revealing not only Xu Qing's known life, but also manifesting unknown pasts and futures.

Moreover, there were far too many people Xu Qing had never seen.

One could not discern truth from falsehood, for everything was possible.

"This, is fate..."

Xu Qing murmured softly.

Within this fate puzzle before him, from beginning to end, it contained everything.

Even Xu Qing had a premonition that if this fate map were placed by himself in the outside world, empowered by the fate divine aspect, then...

Everything within would supersede the rules, becoming the true weaving of fate.

Governing all beings.

"The power of Shang Huang..."

Xu Qing fell silent.

For a moment, he had the thought of altering his own cocoon, for in this process aided by the power of fate, his understanding of fate deepened, yet he also sensed its terror and vastness.

But Xu Qing ultimately dismissed this thought.

"Fate may be good, but its source already holds Shang Huang..."

"For me, it can only serve as a tool, to assist me in seeing clearly the spacetime turbulence, and seeing clearly my own path!"

"And by using it as a guide..."

Xu Qing raised his head, and with a wave of his hand, the cocoon surrounding him vanished in an instant, causing his figure to reappear within the spacetime turbulence.

This time, as the fate map spread, Xu Qing stood within the spacetime turbulence, gazing intently at the outside world, and he could still maintain his human form and still preserve the clarity of his thoughts.

Because the sequence of the fate puzzle is orderly, while spacetime turbulence is chaotic.

Standing within order, Xu Qing used fate as a ruler, measuring spacetime, so that his gaze at this moment perceived a feeling unlike before!

"Next, I still need to verify something."

Xu Qing raised his head and gazed into the distance.

After a long while, resolve appeared in his eyes; he withdrew the divine aspect, raised his right hand, and fiercely pressed down upon the puzzle he had outlined using fate's power.

He wished to withdraw fate's empowerment, causing the fate map to collapse.

Then, taking advantage of the shattering of the Fate Diagram, he observed how the spatiotemporal turbulence tore apart the puzzle of causality, how it inverted, and in this process, gained insight into the Constitution!

In the next instant, the puzzle trembled.

After losing the support of the Fate Divinity, this Fate Diagram, within this spatiotemporal turbulence, could no longer hold on for long.

At this moment, pressed down by Xu Qing, amidst this trembling, cracks appeared.

In the next instant, it split into four or five pieces, collapsing apart.

The power of the spatiotemporal turbulence surged instantly, sweeping in with chaotic spacetime, disrupting everyone's lives within, scrambling their time, tearing apart their experiences one by one.

Then, it further mixed and kneaded time and space together in chaos.

For example, placing the moment of one's birth at the time after the death of their junior.

Again, for instance, what should have happened to oneself was misplaced onto another.

Thus, the spatiotemporal turbulence was formed!

Thus came the inversion of causality and logical errors.

And Xu Qing, within it, watched all this,

his mind and spirit instantly clarified.

Countless pieces of information, during this process, were sensed by him, imprinted by him, and clearly comprehended by him.

Although still unable to fully perceive everything, he had supplemented part of his understanding.

This part of understanding made Xu Qing realize that here, from beginning to end, though it seemed chaotic, it was merely the same spacetime after all.

Only because time and space had been disrupted did this place appear to contain everything.

It produced a power similar to that of parallel universes.

But in reality, it remained a single spacetime, not transcended.

Xu Qing clearly comprehended.

"My spacetime Constitution is correct, while the spacetime here is wrong..."

"And right and wrong cannot be separated; they are precisely the two sides of all things."

"Only when combined do they become complete, like a single point."

Xu Qing's mind roared, with a feeling of enlightenment.

His eyes grew increasingly bright.

This comprehension was of utmost importance—it was his verification of his own Constitution from different angles.

Like a supplement to the foundation.

"Then what comes next..."

Xu Qing lifted his foot and stepped forward!
