Chapter 517: Purifying Time and Space

"Forget it, regardless of the actual situation, I am still interested in this Lighthouse Project you speak of."

Li Heng shook his head and tossed the ray of light in his hand to Xuanyang.

"What do you intend to do?"

Xuanyang looked at this familiar light, his expression complex.

"The reason I remained here, instead of following them deep into the Unknown, is because this World is a Lighthouse; I need to sit in town at the Lighthouse to help guide their direction."

"I will merge this Source Light into this World, into this Lighthouse, to make this World and this Lighthouse shine brighter, thereby illuminating the boundless Unknown and helping them light up the path home."

He spoke slowly, but as he spoke, he became somewhat hesitant.

"What are you worried about?" Li Heng asked in a calm voice.

"I am indeed worried. Worried that once this World lights up completely, it will illuminate not only the boundless Unknown but also the vast Great Void, making this World incredibly eye-catching."

"Of course, given the current state of the Great Void, monsters and Disaster are far more numerous than people. So once this project is carried out, I fear it will attract unexpected monsters and Disaster."

"And with your strength, you must have sensed the things constantly walking toward this World on that Abandoned Reincarnation Path, right? A world that lights up will definitely attract the gaze of those things."

"With all these hidden dangers combined, it can only be exchanged for a glimmer of faint hope. Are you willing to proceed?"

Xuanyang asked calmly.

In fact, he was truly wavering, afraid of knowing the truth, afraid of this glimmer of hope being ruthlessly shattered. Therefore, he even felt that it would be better not to take such a risk.

Li Heng smiled amusedly.

"It fits my intentions exactly."

Hidden dangers? Disaster? Monsters?

If it were in the past, he would indeed have had some concerns. But he has basically grown up now, having entered a snowballing phase; he is actually afraid that there aren't enough Disaster and monsters.

These are all walking Source Power and Golden Source Point.

Even if he really provoked some Great Terror that he could not overcome, with his current strength, he could completely escape. And with his current Source Power reserves, no one could stop him.

With Life and Death no longer a concern, what is there to fear?

As for this World, this Lighthouse?

There is even less need to worry about that.

To the current Li Heng, the Present World is merely a bubble; taking this World and running away is also a simple matter.

Xuanyang was instantly rendered speechless.

He suddenly realized that he was the one being timid, and furthermore, he had assumed Li Heng was still the Li Heng of the past. But the current Li Heng is already a Sacred Venerable, an supreme existence in the first tier of the Great Void.

Unless he encounters a catastrophe like the shattering of the Heavenly Court.

Otherwise, his life is basically secure.

"Since that is the case, then let's proceed."

Xuanyang nodded, intending to strike this Source Light into the World Origin, causing this chaotic Lighthouse to light up again to illuminate the Unknown and the Great Void.

However, the next moment, he was stopped by Li Heng.

Xuanyang was puzzled and looked at Li Heng.

Li Heng spoke indifferently.

"To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools. You know that although the Source Light is strong, it cannot illuminate much of the Unknown. You know this point as well, otherwise you wouldn't have been so wavering."

"Therefore, you must first reshape your Dao foundation, return to your peak cultivation, and then use your peak power to preside over this Lighthouse; otherwise, how can you talk about illuminating the Unknown and lighting the path home for your old friends?"

He said that helping the two Xuanyangs merge was no joke. Anyway, to him, this was just a matter of lifting a finger, and it could also make the Lighthouse Project proceed more smoothly; why not do it?

"But, he has been polluted."

Xuanyang pointed at the polluted Xuanyang in astonishment and said.

Although Li Heng is a Sacred, the Heavenly Court of the past also had many Sacreds, yet they still could not resolve this level of Disaster pollution; otherwise, the Heavenly Court would not have been so passive back then.

"I have my own measures."

Li Heng tapped the Void lightly, Source Power infused, and invisible ripples spread out, enveloping the polluted Xuanyang.

The pollution of Disaster is indeed powerful; once the foundation is polluted by the power of Disaster, under the influence of the indescribable essence of Disaster, it is equivalent to one's own past, present, and future being polluted.

Reversing time or cutting the timeline is of no use.

Once the foundation is polluted, there is simply no saving it.

But Source Power does not care.

I don't care what kind of pollution it is, I don't care if you have polluted the present, past, or future; anyway, I will purify it all the same, and remove the pollution all the same.

Although Li Heng still does not understand the mechanism of this unreasonable power, he knows that it absolutely works.

This point is enough for him now.

Although it is said that the stronger the existence, the harder it is to purify, and the more Source Power it consumes, the polluted Xuanyang is not even a Sacred, so he cannot be considered very strong. Therefore, the Source Power consumed is merely a drop in the bucket for Li Heng's current Source Power reserves.

So, very quickly.

The pollution on the polluted Xuanyang was purified, and he turned into a normal Xuanyang. This purified Xuanyang wore a smile, nodded slightly to Li Heng, and then turned into a ray of spiritual light, diving into Xuanyang's body.

Xuanyang closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in the Void, surrounded by countless fragments of time, which seemed to form a small Time-Space River, with a Great Sun faintly emerging behind him.

With the two merged into one, he began to reshape his own Dao foundation.

This would take some time.

And this is a personal path, so it is not convenient for Li Heng to intervene.

However, Li Heng did not intend to be idle during this time.

Since he intended to use this World as a Lighthouse to illuminate the Unknown and the Great Void, he had to first clean this World thoroughly to prevent any accidents.

For example, the Unknown Disaster that kept invading along the Time Axis.

Li Heng took a step out, arriving at the Time Axis and above the Time-Space River, starting from the original Shikong Qiyuan, slowly walking toward the future, and finally manifesting the Great Sun Dharma Image, blooming with endless light.

The light collided with the invading Unknown Disaster, falling into a state of stalemate; it seemed that neither could do anything to the other, and they could only stop at a certain point in time, unfolding a tug-of-war.

Li Heng did not care.

Like a sage, he bloomed with light, illuminating the Time-Space River.

He took another step forward.

The light instantly overwhelmed the power of the Unknown Calamity, forcing it to retreat. The power of the Unknown Calamity, which had been omnipresent, incomprehensible, and impossible to deal with, began to fall back step by step.

If the main body of the Unknown Calamity were here, Li Heng would naturally be three parts wary.

But what was here was merely a fragment.

With every step he took forward, the resistance grew stronger; it was clear that the power of the Unknown Calamity was also trying to stop Li Heng from purifying the Time-Space River, even attempting to imprison Li Heng in a past time segment.

But all of this was useless.

Li Heng walked as if strolling through a quiet courtyard, taking one step after another, passing through one era after another; the Unknown Calamity could not stop him at all, and it continued to retreat step by step.

When he reached the segment just before the current Time Node, behind Li Heng lay a past that had been completely renewed, without a single trace of Calamity.

And before him lay endless black mud, churning and surging, entrenched here; it was an unknown entity manifested from the power of the Unknown Calamity being compressed to its limit, filled with malice toward Li Heng.

"Interesting, a personality manifestation to stop me?"

Li Heng chuckled, his voice rippling, piercing through the Time-Space River like thunder, echoing in the past, being inscribed by the present, and spreading to the endless future, lingering for a long time without ceasing.

At the current Time Node, in the Present World.

Many top experts could not help but be startled; what had happened to the Time-Space River? They hurriedly unleashed their respective supreme Supernatural Abilities, looking toward the past.

But at the very first moment, their scalps went numb, and their faces revealed terror.

Indescribable, churning and surging—what on earth is this!

And also, that figure... is that His Majesty?!
