Chapter 706: Future Road

"No, no matter how you put it, you are pushing your luck. At most, I can give you one more Great Dao Rune; as for the other Great Dao Runes, you must obtain them through trade."

"Otherwise, I would rather leave than let you take advantage of me."

The Management Hub said viciously, almost resorting to crying, making a scene, and hanging itself.

"That's very good, fine, I agree."

Li Heng said with a smile. The Management Hub was stunned upon hearing this—he agreed so readily? He immediately realized that this guy really had him firmly in his grasp.

Yet, he was unable to counter the other party.

For a moment, the Management Hub gnashed his teeth in hatred.

"Does your conscience not bother you for doing this?"

The Management Hub said angrily.

"Whether my conscience bothers me is one thing, but whether you take out the Great Dao Rune is quite another."

Li Heng said with a beaming smile.

"Forget it, forget it, I can't be bothered with you, I'm going to sleep! Take this Great Dao Rune and don't come bother me again."

The Management Hub was helpless. He immediately realized he shouldn't have wasted time bickering with Li Heng, so he directly took out another Great Dao Rune and then fell into silence.

Li Heng accepted this Great Dao Rune and, being sensible, did not go to disturb the Management Hub. After all, he knew that even a dog would jump over a wall if cornered, let alone an existence like the Management Hub.

Li Heng's consciousness returned to Reality, facing the Void Balance.

"I have carefully considered the words of fellow Daoist Balance and truly feel they make sense. How about this, I won't make things difficult for you, fellow Daoist; let's just consider this information as offsetting the other half of the price."

Hearing Li Heng's words, the Void Balance was overjoyed.

"Many thanks for your understanding, fellow Daoist."

He had just been thinking about what he should take out if the information he revealed could not offset the other half of the price. But no matter how he thought about it, he felt this was inappropriate and that wouldn't work; after all, Transcendence Path powerhouses who could reach this level were truly too rare, and many things he had were not applicable here.

"That is only proper."

Li Heng handed the trace of the Source Power Degraded Product in his hand to the Void Balance. This merchant thought himself shrewd and felt he had profited, but Li Heng also felt he had profited. In any case, it was a Source Power Degraded Product that cost nothing, and it wasn't Source Power itself, so there was no need to worry about whether it would leak secrets.

Everyone won; they won big.

After completing this trade, the Void Balance bid farewell to Li Heng. He needed to escort this wisp of power—which drove other powerhouses mad—back as quickly as possible to study it with his old friends.

Li Heng did not try to persuade him to stay, and both sides bid each other farewell.

The Time-Space Mother River flowed quietly, moving endlessly forward.

This large-scale fishing and fish-catching caused a sensation in the Da Xu Kong, shocking many living beings and powerhouses. Under the spread of rumors, the original information began to slowly distort.

Finally, it became outrageous.

For example, that Fishing Old Man was a demon crawled out from the bottomless Abyss, and others even said he was some former Calamity monster; in short, the more it was spread, the more outrageous and bizarre it became.

Li Heng had by this time stepped onto a road.

He looked forward and discovered that world after world, universe after universe, infinite Heaven and Earth, and the All-Heaven Multiverse were all connected into a straight line, becoming the bricks and tiles on a Dalu.

And this road was also like the Time-Space Mother River.

It traversed multiple eras, and even he could not see the end.

Li Heng sighed slightly in admiration; this road clearly bore the traces of human effort. But precisely because of this, the Terror within it was even more apparent. After all, he had traveled through countless eras—he didn't know how many, but he imagined it was no less than seven digits—yet this road still stretched straight ahead.

Such a grand undertaking was something even he, as he was now, could not accomplish.

"Have you all heard? It is said that someone behind our Future Road caused a huge commotion; it seems to be a Fishing Old Man who caught many fish and even killed all of them."

This was truly a road, only the scale was so large that mortals could not imagine it. Therefore, at this moment, several existences with extremely terrifying and majestic auras were chatting by the roadside.

"I heard it too, though I don't know which ruthless person did it. But I think the good show is coming; after all, although the rear is not within the scope of our Future Road, it is somewhat connected, related by blood or association. Some powerhouses who have already explored the future ahead have already issued threats to teach this Fishing Old Man a lesson."

Another powerful existence responded with a smile.

Because the distance was too Remote, it could be said they were not people of the same world at all, just like inside and outside the light cone of a Physical Universe, so this sensational major event was merely entertainment for them, a topic of conversation for chatting with friends.

Li Heng, standing to the side, couldn't help but have a strange expression.

Did this news spread that fast?

Ever since that fishing incident ended, he had gone straight to Wudao Gong and followed that Route Map without stopping, without any delay in between.

Yet this news had actually arrived earlier than him.

"Fellow Daoists, I am stepping onto this Future Road for the first time. I wonder what this Future Road is actually for? Listening to your conversation, are there powerhouses ahead on the Future Road?"

Li Heng spoke up at this moment to inquire.

The several powerful existences heard his words, turned to look at Li Heng, and scrutinized him imperceptibly. One of them, with purple Qi permeating behind him, looking like a Saint, spoke up.

"Oh, so you are a fellow Daoist who just arrived here?"

"Actually, this Future Road cannot be considered special; it is merely a road paved by countless sages of the past in order to explore the future and reach the end of the Time-Space Mother River. Other than that, it is no different from other places in the Void."

This purple-Qi existence explained kindly.

"Can this road really lead directly to the end of the Time-Space Mother River?"

Li Heng asked in surprise.

"Perhaps, because for the explorers and pioneers ahead, this road can no longer be seen to have an end, as we who arrived at the Future Road early do not know where the end is. We have stopped now because we are tired from the journey and want to take a rest."

The purple-Qi existence smiled and sighed with emotion.

After listening to the powerful existence's explanation, Li Heng felt a sense of reverence.

According to what they said.

The Future Road was opened up by generations of pioneers exploring the future, and this road was still being continuously opened up. As the saying goes, there was originally no road on Earth; as more people walked, it became a road.

The predecessors opened the way, the successors stepped onto the road, and then the successors reached the end and became the predecessors opening the road. As long as the Time-Space Mother River remained and those who explored the Unknown of the future did not perish, this Future Road would always continue to extend, finally crossing the infinite limit to reach the end.

This Future Road was not the work of one person!

It was the strength of the masses!

"So that's how it is. Many thanks to you, fellow Daoist, for clearing up my confusion. I shall take my leave for now..." After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Heng parted ways with these lingering powerful existences and continued forward.

This is still not the end of the Route Map..... 。
