Chapter 527: Crossing the Illusion

The Black Hole Essence is very clear about its current situation.

Basically, it is an Illusion, much like the chaotic delusions in the minds of ordinary living beings.

The biggest difference is only that it was created by Li Heng's Source Power, so it does not arise and perish at every moment like ordinary delusions, appearing like bubbles in a dream; it can exist constantly within the Illusion.

However, this characteristic of maintaining its own existence is also its greatest obstacle. Li Heng can make it exist constantly within the Illusion, and can also make it exist forever within the Illusion; even if it possesses the great power to traverse the Time-Space River, it cannot traverse between True Reality and Illusion to establish its own foundation!

Even if it is currently devouring various timelines at every moment, absorbing variables to evolve, constantly updating and iterating, Borrowing the False to Cultivate the True, and discarding the false to preserve the true, it is still of no avail.

This seems to not only negate the foundation of its existence.

It directly fixes it as a product of Illusion!

It is extremely unwilling.

If not for this point, relying on its Infinite power, True Reality and Illusion would count for nothing at all. Facing the Infinite, even logic must yield; it could completely break out!

But it also knows that this kind of thinking now is merely the impotent rage of the powerless. The only way to make it turn into True Reality and no longer be an Illusion is for Li Heng to speak again and determine the foundation of its existence.

It is just that this requires waiting.

Although it senses in the dark that Li Heng will definitely come to find it, it does not know how long this will take—is it a thousand years, ten thousand years, or an unimaginable amount of time that even the Infinite finds difficult to cross?

It does not know.

If there were a way, it would not want to wait either. But it has already tried many methods, and all were of no avail. Until it encountered this light that pierced through.

Although the Black Hole Essence is not clear about the origin of this light, it is very clear that this light actually penetrated True Reality and Illusion, shining into this Illusionary universe of its own.

Does that mean.

It could, through some method, use this light capable of traversing True Reality and Illusion to escape its Illusionary state, completely turn the false into the true, and manifest in the world?

As this thought arose, it rapidly performed calculations.

And then it discovered that this was indeed feasible.

It could completely utilize the Infinite power it possesses to temporarily transform itself into a ray of light and merge with this light that penetrates True Reality and Illusion. Then, it could travel upstream along the path the light shone from and escape this Xuhuan Lingyu!

In this way, it would not need Li Heng to take action.

The Black Hole Essence began to get excited.

If possible, who would be willing to remain subordinate to others? Actually, Li Heng counts as its creator, and the same goes for a creator god. After all, in the eyes of the Black Hole Essence, Li Heng still has that same meager cultivation as before, and it estimates that he has not grown much now.

Such cultivation is truly difficult to convince it to submit completely.

Opportunity knocks but once; it does not want to wait any longer.

After calculating the feasibility, the Black Hole Essence did as it thought; the powerful black hole that would never evaporate, under the influence of the Infinite power, instantly transformed its image and became a ray of light.

Finally, it even directly merged into the surrounding light.

The Black Hole Essence was somewhat surprised—that easy?

It had thought that these lights shining across True Reality and Illusion would be very difficult to merge with and would require constant adjustment; it did not expect to succeed on the first try.

Sighing a few times in its heart, it pushed its doubts back to the bottom of its heart.

Now, the important matter is urgent.

It followed the path the light had traversed across True Reality and Illusion, traveled upstream, and soon arrived at the boundary between True Reality and Illusion—a membrane like a bubble.

Outside the membrane is True Reality; inside the membrane is Illusion.

Inside the membrane are infinite universes, but they arise and perish in illusions, without fixed form, like an ocean of dreams; it looks vast, but if one observes carefully, one will find that most are fragile things.

And outside the membrane? Although the scene cannot compare to the Illusionary universe inside the membrane, it allows it to see real mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars.

Perhaps ordinary, but True!

The Black Hole Essence was excited in its heart; it could see how real the things outside the membrane were—truly composed of material laws and various concrete things, not delusions or thoughts!

At this moment, it finally determined that this was definitely not an Illusion disguised as True Reality; it could still distinguish between True Reality and Illusion.

Although it is indeed possible to deceive it.

But if someone could create such a scene and still deceive it, their strength would definitely be far greater than its own, and they would have no need to deceive it at all. Now, it only needs to follow the light path through the membrane to reach True Reality!

Only, can it really pass through this membrane?

Just as the Black Hole Essence wanted to take that final step, this kind of thought suddenly arose again, taking root in its own mind, causing it to hesitate, stop, and even feel a bit afraid.

Afraid that it would be blocked inside this membrane.

After all, it knows its own state.

It is locked inside the Illusion.

Even if these lights can penetrate True Reality and Illusion and shine here, can they really take it out? Even if it is now perfectly merged with these lights without a single flaw, fundamentally, it is still a foreign object.

After this kind of thought arose, various similar thoughts also arose, disturbing its mind. For example, perhaps the outside is truly True Reality, but what if this membrane is actually a trap?

Once it touches it, it might get stuck directly on it, unable to come down, and in the end, it could only be at the mercy of others; this is not impossible.

But an existence like the Black Hole Essence has long been able to dissect its own thoughts to reflect upon itself. Therefore, it quickly locked onto the reason why it had such thoughts.

It was nothing more than fear.

It laughed; yes, fear, but so what?

This is its opportunity.

It is very likely an opportunity that knocks but once.

How could it give up?

Furthermore, it is itself a product of Illusion; on the level of True Reality, it has nothing, it is Emptiness, so what is there to be afraid of losing? In the end, it was just being attached to appearances.

Thus, it easily passed through this membrane.

It leaped out of the water from the water!

In an instant, the Black Hole Essence felt its essence begin to transform, changing from ethereal to True and real. Its own Infinite great power was also able to be implemented, capable of creating and destroying the universe.

Without thinking too much, the Infinite great power unfolded, traversing Time-Space!

Then, it discovered that this had a certain degree of difficulty.

I do not know what changes occurred in the True Reality of Xianshi Tiandi; the Time-Space River, which he could previously pierce through with ease, has now become incomparably vast, and every timeline is true and without void!

The volume of the Time-Space River also seems to have increased by an Infinite factor!

He was greatly astonished; what on earth had happened?

However, he soon calmed down again; since he could already detect the volume of the Time-Space River, it could only be considered an Infinite Prototype, which was ultimately still lacking compared to an Infinite that had already taken shape like his.

Therefore, he quickly pierced through the future of the Time-Space River, then traveled upstream against the current, intending to sow his own power into the present, and finally trace back to the very beginning of the origin of Heaven and Earth!

He wanted to reshape an origin and foundation for himself.

He, the Black Hole Spirit, shall never be a slave!

But the next moment, he froze.

His Infinite great power was intercepted at the present time Node, just like a flood encountering a dam; it seemed as if something vast was blocking him.

He looked toward the present time Node.

He saw a majestic figure standing tall above the Time-Space River!

At this moment, a sentence rang out in his mind.

"Not bad, I thought you wouldn't dare to come out."

Li Heng's calm words echoed endlessly in the Black Hole Spirit's mind.
