Chapter 522: Sacred Discourse

"So what, and then what?"

"Do you think you are very noble because you are a Reincarnation Artifact?"

Li Heng said with a smile.

"Youxuan would not dare."

After Youxuan answered these four words, he remained silent. Of course, that was what he said, but only he knew what he was thinking inside.

"Youxuan, you must remember, all things are within Reincarnation; one life may be wealthy, yet the next may be impoverished. There is no constant Reason, only constant rotation; so where does talk of nobility come from?"

Li Heng said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Youxuan felt surprised in his heart. These words were quite philosophical; he had heard someone say similar things before, but such words could not move him.

"The Master's words are reasonable."

After thinking for a moment, Youxuan responded this way, saying no more.

To say more is to err more; it is better not to speak.

Li Heng shook his head. Was this artifact spirit truly so arrogant? But never mind, he was not here to break a hawk's spirit, nor did he necessarily need the help of this artifact spirit; he could not be bothered to show off before others.

Now, it is time to get down to business.

With a thought, he took a step and returned to the Time-Space River. At this moment, the Time-Space River had transformed anew, looking completely refreshed, constantly extending countless timelines.

If one were to look down from the highest point, one would surely find that calling the current Time-Space River a "river" was no longer appropriate; it should be called a Time-Space Basin, or perhaps a Time-Space Web!

Because those countless timelines and world lines were crisscrossing and extending.

They had long since formed a dense, intricate web!

Li Heng observed all timelines, discerning every possibility of the Present World. He discovered that, aside from the main river channel symbolizing the root, the Present World on some branch timelines had developed quite well.

For instance, in one timeline's Present World, some powerhouses had emerged, surpassing the branch of the timeline they belonged to.

They were employing various means, reversing cause and effect, fighting one another, intending to occupy the past, present, and future of their own branches. And because of the fighting between these powerhouses, the branches derived infinite further branches, endless in this manner.

And the most amusing thing was.

These powerhouses all believed that the branch they belonged to was the main river channel, and that the past, present, future, and other derived branches of their own branch were all possibilities.

As long as one occupied all time-space possibilities.

Then one could reach the mysterious and profound realm.

Although Li Heng found it amusing, he did not show a smile.

Even though the Sacred Realm is different from these powerhouses, it is inherently transcendent of time and space. Even when facing that Time-Space Mother River that spans across the eternal heavens, one can remain relatively independent, unaffected and unconstrained by the Time-Space Mother River; occupying the past, present, and future has little meaning.

But if one thinks about it deeply.

Could the Sacred also be a similar character?

Even if the Sacred is more transcendent than those powerhouses, even if the Sacred does not need to occupy the past, present, and future, achieve the so-called First Cause Final Fruit, or gather infinite other-selves to be Unique in All Worlds.

But the fact remains.

The Sacred is still restricted by the Time-Space Mother River.

Even if this restriction is only a soft restriction.

It is as if a behemoth is blocking one's path. Although one is not interfered with by this behemoth, due to limitations in ability, one cannot fully observe or cross this behemoth.

Just as the Sacred cannot reach the infinite future of the Time-Space Mother River.

This is just like how those powerhouses are imprisoned by the timeline branches they belong to, believing that the timeline branch is everything, the sum of all possibilities; could the Sacred be the same?

Of course, the Sacred finds the word "imprisoned" a bit too harsh.

It can only be said that the Sacred is blocked by the Time-Space Mother River.

Because the vision of the Sacred is not trapped by the Time-Space Mother River, nor does it believe the Time-Space Mother River is everything. Because no matter how powerful the Time-Space Mother River is, it still cannot govern the Unknown beyond the Great Void.

Otherwise, that Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court would not have chosen to step into the Endless Unknown after failing to trace the infinite future of the Time-Space Mother River.

Seeing this scene, Li Heng pondered much.

But soon he stopped this mental wandering. After all, there was no great meaning in letting his thoughts diverge like this; he did not have the ability yet, nor was there evidence to prove his conjecture.

It would be better to focus on the matter at hand.

Li Heng withdrew his gaze from those timelines and turned to look at the main channel of the Time-Space River, standing in the present, looking far into the past, to the place of chaos at the beginning of the origin of Heaven and Earth.

Although the Netherworld had been embedded by him into the Present World, becoming the only place of Reincarnation in the Present World, the laws of Heaven and Earth and the Present World Heavenly Dao had accepted it fully, without rejection.

But as mentioned before, if one follows the causal relationship of the origin of time and space, the Netherworld and Heaven and Earth Samsara are still external objects to the Present World, and external objects cannot receive the benefits of the advancement of Heaven and Earth.

So at this moment, he intended to solve it once and for all.

He would directly embed the Netherworld into the place of the origin of Heaven and Earth, moving the origin of the Netherworld infinitely forward, making it a congenital Life and Death Reincarnation land that had existed since the very beginning of Heaven and Earth.

In this way, the Netherworld would be "always present, now present, eternally present" to the Present World, merging into one, thereby shedding its status as an external object and obtaining the benefits of the advancement of Heaven and Earth.

"I say, the Netherworld is a congenital land, and Life and Death Reincarnation is the Reason of chaos."

Li Heng spoke softly, standing atop the Time-Space River, issuing a declaration. The sound echoed continuously, traveling through the past, present, and future, and through all timelines, causing some Infinite Elders on certain timelines to be extremely shocked, wanting to trace the source of the sound.

But before they could trace even a sliver, they were directly struck by the backlash of Causality from the dark, shaken until they vomited blood; some who desperately wanted to trace it even died and vanished as a result.

And a word from the Sacred is True Reality.

Li Heng did not need to do much; the Time-Space River saw to it itself, automatically changing the origin of the Netherworld's Life and Death Reincarnation from being founded by Li Heng to being a congenital land and Reason of chaos that existed since the beginning of chaos, making it noble, ancient, and unchangeable.

As for Li Heng himself?

His origin remained unchanged; he was still a human of the Present World.

After all, for a Sacred or someone near-Sacred, one's origin or ancient past is not important. After all, these are things within time and space, irrelevant to those like the Sacred who stand on the shore.

Especially for a Time-Space River of the level of the Present World.

Li Heng alone is more important than time and space!

At this moment, the Netherworld and Life and Death Reincarnation merged into one with the Present World, immediately enjoying the benefits of the advancement of Heaven and Earth, and began to advance rapidly.

Especially the Reincarnation Disk, as the core of Life and Death Reincarnation, its momentum climbed step by step, and it even began to trace its own past, wanting to restore itself to a more perfect state.

The Reincarnation Disk artifact spirit Youxuan stood frozen in place, sensing the earth-shattering changes occurring within the Reincarnation Disk, and looked up to gaze at the majestic figure above the Time-Space River, remaining silent for a long time.

Just now, what on earth happened!?

The pride in his heart seemed to begin to waver...
