Chapter 692: Great Dream Through the Ages
"Great Dream Through the Ages—so you mean you are dreaming?"
Li Heng asked in surprise.
Busi Xianweng's expression was somewhat bewildered.
"Actually, I don't know either. Perhaps I am dreaming, and my true self has always been at the Origin River Section of time and space, never having set out; but perhaps this is not a dream, or the dream itself is True Reality, and I have already set out and arrived here."
His sigh sparked contemplation in the artifact spirit.
"Let me think... oh, right, this old fellow is indeed a bit strange. Back then, he was like a ghost wandering the world, as if no shackles could restrain him. But later, he was unlucky; he broke into Wudao Gong and was trapped inside, becoming a Menial Servant."
The artifact spirit said indifferently.
"Then do you have any memories of your experiences over these many years?"
Li Heng asked aloud.
If Busi Xianweng had truly lived honestly from the Origin River Section of time and space until now, he should have experienced much, and these experiences would be indelible.
"I do have memories of these experiences in my mind, but for some reason, if I do not investigate them carefully, they are fleeting; opening and closing my eyes, countless years have already passed."
Busi Xianweng replied.
"Then it is highly likely that you are indeed dreaming, even if it is a special kind of dream," Li Heng said after a moment of thought.
He had originally been very skeptical about whether someone of Busi Xianweng's strength could cross such a Remote distance of time and space to live until now, but looking at it now, if one could dream through the ages, it was not strange.
"Am I dreaming?"
Hearing Li Heng's words, Busi Xianweng remained uncertain and somewhat bewildered; could it be that he had truly never set out, and had only dreamed of arriving here?
But the memories and experiences in his mind did not seem fake.
"Since you possess the Supernatural Ability of a Great Dream Through the Ages, yet you cannot even determine if you are dreaming? Then you are truly trapped by this dream; you can only be considered a dreamer, not the master of the dream."
Li Heng commented sharply.
Busi Xianweng fell silent.
He knew very well that his Supernatural Ability could dream through the ages. But precisely because of this, he was uncertain. After all, he did not know if everything he had experienced had truly happened, or if it was all a derivative of his dream, merely his own wishful thinking.
However, perhaps this senior was right.
Perhaps he had already been trapped by this Supernatural Ability?
Busi Xianweng sighed slightly and spoke again.
"Ever since I awakened that Supernatural Ability of a Great Dream Through the Ages, I thought that since I had already witnessed the origin of time and space, why not use this Supernatural Ability to go to the end of time and space? Perhaps I could gain greater benefits and glimpse unprecedented scenery."
"So I came here."
As he spoke, a light called exploration ignited in his eyes. Although he had experienced so much, his heart had grown old, and his appearance was that of a decrepit old man.
But an old steed in the stable still aspires to gallop a thousand miles.
Let him be old; he only wanted to see more scenery.
Li Heng did not speak at this moment; a thought arose in his heart—perhaps he could use this Busi Xianweng as an anchor point to follow the Causality connection and reach the origin of the Time-Space Mother River.
However, he did not intend to perform this operation himself; he would leave it to his clone, who was currently traveling upstream against the Time-Space Mother River toward the past, aboard the Great Dao Ark. As for his true self, he would continue with the original plan and head toward the future, the Shikong Zhongmo.
"Your Great Dream Through the Ages is quite interesting. I wish to use you as a medium to open a passage to the Shikong Qiyuan; what do you think?"
Li Heng said aloud.
Busi Xianweng was slightly startled and spoke.
"Reporting to Senior, many people in my memories have said the same thing. These people were also incomparably powerful and wanted to use me as a medium to go to the Shikong Qiyuan, but they all failed in the end."
"According to what they said back then, although I do indeed possess the Causality of the origin river section of the Time-Space Mother River, because it is too far away, even with a Causality connection, one cannot pass through."
He tactfully advised Li Heng.
This kind of thing had appeared too many times in his memories, so many that they were uncountable, so such things were almost meaningless to him.
"No matter; they are them, and I am I." Li Heng waved his hand, indicating he did not care, and said confidently.
He knew very well what Busi Xianweng was expressing; even if the route was found, it would be difficult to cross this infinite distance without the corresponding cultivation. But he was not an ordinary person; he had sufficient cultivation and power, and if worse came to worst, he could use Source Power later.
"Then Senior, can I still head to the future, the Shikong Zhongmo?" Busi Xianweng hesitated for a moment and asked.
Although he was not clear whether everything he had witnessed was real or a derivative of a dream, since he had already come this far, he could not give up halfway.
"You are free to head to the future, the Shikong Zhongmo; I will not stop you. But this does not conflict with my desire to use you as a medium to head to the Shikong Qiyuan, does it? I am not using you as a guide, just borrowing the Causality on you."
"Moreover, according to the information currently known, it is meaningless to decide when to set out; those who can reach the Shikong Zhongmo will arrive on time regardless." Li Heng waved his hand, using what he had just learned.
"Many thanks, Senior."
Busi Xianweng's eyes lit up, and he said no more.
"Alright, the matters here should be partially settled. But before that, I want to ask one thing: among your group of Gong Dian Menial Servants, is there anyone who is heinous?"
"For example, the kind of guy who has only known how to kill, commit arson, rob, and destroy the World throughout their cultivation, doing everything except good deeds."
Li Heng turned his head to look at the artifact spirit.
The artifact spirit was stunned, "Why are you asking this?"
"Why? Because it is useful, of course."
Li Heng replied with a light laugh. Call him hypocritical or double-standard if you will, but if he wanted to take action against someone who had no grudge against him, he could only find the bad guys among them.
This was also the bottom line he had set for himself long ago.
Otherwise, he could have just killed, killed, and killed from the very beginning.
With his Visualization Divine Ability and Source Power harvesting, if he had killed his way through without asking questions, eventually destroying thousands of Worlds, perhaps he could have grown even faster.
"Alright then."
The artifact spirit was helpless but could only tell Li Heng the names.
As expected, Li Heng obtained over a dozen names from the artifact spirit, which accounted for a large portion of those thirty-six statues and thirty-six Gong Dian Menial Servants.
This was not strange; after all, as long as there were no clear rules, bad people always fared better than good people, and the cost of living for an egoist was far lower than that of an idealist.
Li Heng's gaze was deep as he looked at the dozen or so beings who were still in the Gong Dian but were already on his kill list, discerning the Causality behind them and confirming that not one of them was a good person.
"Hmm, I hope I can gain something this time."
Li Heng muttered to himself, his figure moved, disappearing from where he stood, and he began a new round of hunting...
