Chapter 305: The Danger of Future Locking

Li Heng had a strange expression.

He browsed through the pasts of Jian Chen and Qinglong again, discovering that the same thing had happened to them as to Hui Xuan: their mentors had told them to break through to the Dharma Aspect.

Moreover, they seemed to have anticipated that once they broke through to the Dharma Aspect, some unpredictable event would occur.

After discussing these matters, they directly deleted this memory. They even employed certain methods to obscure the heavenly secrets, causing a fault to appear in history.

If not for Li Heng's brilliant methods.

He likely wouldn't have been able to discover these little tricks.

He couldn't help but shake his head.

Like a meat bun thrown at a dog, it never returns.

Although the major powers behind these three individuals had buried some methods within their bodies—and had even deceived the three, who had been polluted and brainwashed—these methods were still currently in effect.

But such methods were useless.

These measures were merely for positioning, detecting physical conditions, exerting a bit of mental influence, and collecting information. Furthermore, to avoid being discovered, this information was sent only once every long while.

What could this possibly obtain?

It could obtain nothing at all.

Li Heng had already reached such a level, yet he didn't even know what the True Gospel was; even this group of brainwashed and modified cultists were in the dark, understanding only half-truths.

What could these meager methods possibly uncover?

Therefore, to let one's own genius disciples and juniors be polluted for no reason, subsequently turning into such monsters.

Perhaps the major powers have their own considerations; they might feel that these few individuals are completely expendable.

But Li Heng couldn't be bothered to care.

With a wave of his hand, his Great Sun Dharma Image manifested, instantly killing the three, and the Sun True Fire enveloped the black liquid they left behind, burning it into nothingness.

Source Power +150,000.

He had no need to keep these three people alive.

These three had already been thoroughly polluted and modified; even if he could save them using Source Power, it would consume a large amount of it, which was not worth it. Moreover, after being polluted, these three had committed a significant amount of killing, so they deserved to die.

Not to mention the methods the major powers had planted on them.

To Li Heng, they were just a nuisance, so he simply killed them all.

Naturally, Li Heng had the ability to erase these methods.

But these three had already questioned his authority and hindered his rule over others, or would only increase risks, so it was better to just kill them. He wanted to wait for these cultists and prey to grow, then slaughter them to harvest more Source Power.

In the meantime, he would also let them search for the reincarnation of Heaven.

Squeezing out the remaining value.

Whether they found it or not didn't matter; the important thing was maximizing profit.

This matter was just a small interlude for Li Heng.

These major powers actually didn't know what they were facing either; they had just laid down these measures in advance out of a perception of risk. At any rate, that was the case for the three powers he had seen.

Compared to that, he was more concerned about this so-called History Fault.

This thing called a History Fault made him associate it with many things.

For instance, this Mysterious Calamity was infecting things along the Time Axis, continuously extending from the present into the past, attempting to cover the initial origin; the methods were almost unsolvable.

But what if one artificially created a massive History Fault?

Li Heng's eyes lit up.

Although this line of thinking required solving many problems to unfold—such as how to create such a large History Fault, and whether any impact would occur after the History Fault separated two time periods—it was indeed a good line of thought, worth exploring.

But then he had a second thought.

Since he could think of it so simply, other powerhouses might not necessarily be unable to think of it either. Perhaps now, or in the past, some great beings had already begun working on similar things?

For example, the existence of that reincarnator was very suspicious.

His thoughts continued to diverge.

Immediately, his mind stirred, communicating with the Great Sun in the sky, and a wisp of his ethereal Divine Sense instantly arrived above the Great Sun, arriving inside that Gong Dian.

"A rare guest; what are you doing here?"

"There are no treasures for you here."

That figure manifested once again, though it was even more blurred than before; it seemed its state was not very good.

Li Heng raised his eyebrows, but he didn't waste time and stated his idea directly. "Can this Time-Space Fault or History Fault resolve this crisis?"

The figure fell silent upon hearing this, then spoke.

"Theoretically feasible, practically impossible."

"Because once a History Fault is created, it means a blank space has appeared between the past and the present, which will lead to a discontinuity in time and space, and subsequently, Chaos in Causality."

"Let's put it this way: it's equivalent to the past of the World suddenly disappearing. What do you think will happen?"

"Let's put it this way: it's equivalent to the World's past suddenly disappearing. What do you think would happen?"

"The past disappears, the present ceases to exist."

Li Heng guessed calmly.

"Although your guess isn't entirely correct, it's close enough. If you want this Heaven and Earth to finish sooner, this method is the best, so don't even think about it; it's not like I haven't considered it."

"Although your guess isn't entirely correct, it's close enough. If you want this Heaven and Earth to end sooner, this method is the best, so don't even think about it; it's not like I haven't considered it myself."

"Naturally, some have thought of it."

"But unfortunately, they didn't have such powerful strength within this Heaven and Earth, except for me. However, someone did risk their life to perform an operation on the time-space level; how should I put it? It was quite bold."

"I'm telling you now so you can be mentally prepared."

Li Heng was surprised upon hearing this.

Li Heng was surprised to hear this.

Can it be evaluated as bold by this Immortal God figure?

"So what exactly happened?"

He was a bit curious.

"That group of bold fellows does not belong to your point in time, but is located in the past, what you call the Ancient Sages Era, and that group of bold fellows is what you call the Sages."

"In the face of that Pollution Power, the so-called Sages could not resist either, and soon fell. So a few bold fellows wanted to come to the current point in time to find the source of this Calamity."

"Time travel? Are the Ancient Sages that strong?"

Li Heng was a bit surprised.

"Not at all."

"That group of fellows took a shortcut, jointly opening up a place that is half-out of the Light Flow, where a Secret Realm with independent time exists, and then sealed themselves within that Secret Realm."

"Half is under the scouring of the Light Flow, rolling forward with time, and half is beyond the Light Flow, with independent time, so their lifespan will not be scoured."

Li Heng had a strange expression.

Why did he find this description so familiar?

"It seems to be called something like Hundred Saints Mountain?"

The figure continued to speak.

Li Heng suddenly realized, so it was this place.

"However, the mutation originated a hundred years ago, right? If they want to find the source of the mutation, they shouldn't have come to the present."

Li Heng said.

"No, they must come to the present. Because only the present has a future, while the past is unchanging, already a fixed history. Unless they have the power to change history, such as the mutation Calamity. Otherwise, they can only come to the present Node that moves forward every moment."

"In the past, no matter how they struggle, it is all in vain."

The figure replied.

Li Heng nodded thoughtfully.

"However, hearing you say this, it seems this method is very safe, so how can it be called bold?"

The figure chuckled upon hearing this.

"Those who have not achieved Transcendence over time but play with time will surely suffer a backlash. I have not achieved Transcendence over time, let alone them; if they do this, they will suffer a Disaster sooner or later."

"If it weren't for the extraordinary period now, I wouldn't bother with so much, and the me at this point in time is already dead. Otherwise, just for the fact that they are going against the flow of time, I would send them to their deaths directly."

"Because this will cause the Causality within the World to be in Chaos, making it difficult to connect with the Great Void outside, which is very troublesome; I hate this the most."

The figure said, expression changing, directly gnashing teeth.

Li Heng had a strange expression, looking the figure up and down.

You've said such things, who would believe you are really dead?

"The past has already taken measures, so what about the future? I went to that Hundred Saints Mountain before; I didn't see the Ancient Sages, but I saw a Reborn One with extremely rich light source aura at that time."

"Oh, that."

"How should I put this? I haven't seen the Ancient Sages because, in my field of vision, they haven't descended to the current point in time yet, but it's coming soon."

"As for that Reborn One, the water is very deep."

The figure's expression was solemn.

"Why is that? You don't care about the past but care about the future instead," Li Heng asked in surprise.

"Contrary to what you said, even though the past has already happened, it is True Reality, while the future has not happened, and all kinds of possibilities are ethereal; I value the past more than the future."

"The reason I say the water is deep is that for the ethereal future, a true Reborn One should not exist."

"Just imagine, for the present, the future is ethereal and everything is fake. How can fake things produce a true Reborn One, and even let them return to the present to interfere with the present?"

The figure asked Li Heng back.

"So they are not a real Reborn One, maybe they just obtained some memories of the future?" Li Heng asked in surprise.

"I can't say for sure about this point."

The figure was suddenly silent, then slowly said.

"Even you can't confirm it?"

"Is this strange? Don't forget that the me at the current point in time is already dead, and Heaven and Earth do not have such strong control. However, I do have a guess."

"Perhaps, there really is a kind of future that is True Reality."

The figure said.

"Then didn't you just say the future is fake?"

Li Heng was a bit puzzled.

"I was right to say the future is fake; how can things that haven't happened be considered real? You only need to know one thing: the future after the current Node is all fake."

"However, there are exceptions to everything."

"Remember Everything Destined to Slide that I told you about?"

Li Heng nodded.

This sentence had appeared in the mouths of many people.

"This is not only because of the external environment of this Heaven and Earth, and the invasion of the past by that Weird power. It is also because I feel that the future seems to be locked."

"This locking power is very powerful, destined that no matter how we struggle or how we choose, we will eventually walk toward the same future, a future where Everything Destined to Slide."

"Under the influence of this locking power, even if this future has not happened and is after the current Node, it is almost the same as real, because this future is destined to happen."

The figure's expression was serious.

Li Heng nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this and spoke.

"If this is the case, then that Reborn One has a problem; they could be good, or they could be bad."

The figure nodded, "That's right."

If a reborn person returns to the present to reverse the future.

Then that is a good thing for them.

If this reborn person returns to the present to make the future even more fated, then that is a bad thing.

"Now, what do you think?"

"The future is so desperate; I advise you to just take over my Great Sun Path, then leave this Heaven and Earth and run away as soon as possible."

The figure does not let the opportunity pass, tempting Li Heng.

It is a very ironic point.

As the creator god who created this Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, he is a firm and unwavering member of the run-away party.

"Not bad, it actually rose to simple difficulty, such Terror."

Li Heng nodded, looking very serious.
