Chapter 747: The Land of the End

Li Qianjun was somewhat dazed.

"Senior, are you just going to let me go like this?"

"Otherwise? Should I have struck you down the moment you said you wanted to slash me, destroying both your body and soul?"

Li Heng asked in return.

Wasn't that the expected course of action?

Li Qianjun had originally wanted to say this, but after thinking it over carefully, one cannot be overly blunt; for the sake of his own life, and for the sake of being reunited with Caidie.

He chose to follow his heart.

"Senior is wise!"

Li Qianjun said.

"Don't be wise just yet. With your current strength, you should be able to perceive a little something: even if you resurrect Meng Caidie, it will be very difficult for you to stay with her forever."

Li Heng said.

Li Qianjun fell silent.

He was indeed very clear on this point.

According to the abilities of a high-level Emperor, as long as one does not die from a Calamity or a monster, basically, no matter how thoroughly one dies—even if the soul, True Spirit, and traces in time and space are all gone—they can be easily fished back.

But for Meng Caidie, this law is only half-effective.

He sensed that Meng Caidie's state was dreamlike and illusory; rather than calling it death, it was more like non-existence. It seemed as if, from the very beginning, the person Meng Caidie had never existed in the entire Great Void.

Yet, he could feel faint traces of existence from this non-existence; this state was very contradictory. Because of this, although he could resurrect Meng Caidie, whether she could stay with him for long after the resurrection was a question.

"Hmm, it seems you have realized it. Your observation skills are not bad."

"Since that is the case, I can reveal some information to you. For instance, Meng Caidie does indeed exist, but she should not exist in this layer of Reality."

Li Heng spoke calmly, stirring confusion among the crowd.

Reality—does the Great Void contain Duochong Xianshi?

"Fellow Daoist Li, you shouldn't be revealing these things to them; the matter of Duochong Xianshi concerns secrets."

Zhongjie Daozhu spoke up, shaking his head.

"Then what kind of secrets does it involve?"

Li Heng said with a smile.

In reality, he did not know much about Duochong Xianshi either; if he could get information from the mouth of Zhongjie Daozhu, that would be for the best.

"Do not try to fish for information from me, Fellow Daoist."

Zhongjie Daozhu said faintly.

"What do you mean by fishing for information? If you don't say it, how can you prove you know about Duochong Xianshi? What if what you know is less than what I know? Are you saying you are truly worried and afraid of showing your ignorance?"

Zhongjie Daozhu was speechless upon hearing this.

He was a remnant spirit of a Dao Lord; he knew what he ought to know, and he knew Duochong Xianshi like the back of his hand. How could it be possible that he knew less than Li Heng? A starving camel is still bigger than a horse; no matter how miserably he had fared, that was impossible.

"Say no more, Fellow Daoist Li, let us set off."

He waved his sleeve, ignoring Li Heng's target, and looked ahead at that extremely mysterious Zhongmo Zhidi. At this moment, that door had already opened.

Li Heng shook his head, feeling somewhat regretful.

It seemed this remnant spirit of Zhongjie Daozhu was not as dim-witted as that previous Void Management Hub; what a pity.

The group of high-level Emperors watching all this looked at one another in dismay.

Through the title "Dao Lord," they could more or less guess the weight of Zhongjie Daozhu—the pinnacle of the Great Void, a living supreme being. If this news were released, it would absolutely stir up monstrous waves throughout the entire Great Void, shocking countless living beings.

It was like a country where the emperor has been missing for a long time; most people have long coveted the throne, and many have already taken action, fighting each other happily.

And at this moment, suddenly, the missing emperor appears. Although in a crippled state, he is still truly the emperor who once sat upon the throne.

What is meant by "When I return to the world, all rebellious subjects shall perish"?

This is it.

Yet this Dao Lord, with such great strength and such a lofty status, was being teased by a Senior Li, without the slightest bit of reverence for a Dao Lord. Could it be that this Senior Li is also a Dao Lord?

But no one has ever been heard calling him a Dao Lord?

But if he isn't, then that is terrifying.

Not a Dao Lord, yet able to make a Dao Lord treat him as an equal—this mindset alone is enough to command respect. Not to mention the strength to converse with a Dao Lord as an equal.

Ignoring the complex and tangled thoughts of the crowd.

Soon, they arrived before the Shikong Zhongmo. A Light Gate stood here, emitting a faint glow; passing through the Light Gate would lead to the Shikong Zhongmo.

"Fellow Daoist Zhongjie, your aesthetics need improvement. The portal leading to the Zhanchang is a Light Gate, and the Light Gate entering the Shikong Zhongmo is also a Light Gate, and the style is completely unchanged—boring."

Li Heng commented.

As soon as these words were spoken, the corners of the surrounding high-level Emperors' mouths twitched again. Is the appearance of this Light Gate really the key? Clearly, the Dao rhyme it emits and the profound Reason it contains are the true keys, right?

At least in their eyes, this Light Gate was the Great Void, a collection of all Great Dao, Truth, and Origin. They had already benefited greatly from just one glance, and were now progressing rapidly.

If they didn't all know how powerful Li Heng was, they would have feared he was one of those ignorant children who didn't know the value of things, passing through a treasure land without taking treasure, unable to recognize wealth when it was right in front of him.

Perhaps this is the realm that such an existence should have?

Perhaps for such an existence, even a Light Gate of this level is actually about the same as a toy? No, perhaps not even as good as a toy?

They began to imagine things, and the more they thought, the more it made sense.

Zhongjie Daozhu did not want to pay attention to this person surnamed Li.

He waved his large hand, and the Light Gate changed.

It was as if some seal had been lifted; from the Light Gate emanated an aura of the end, Terror, destruction—the end of all things, all destined to return to the twilight of Emptiness.

These high-level Emperors felt terrified in their hearts.

At first, they had been full of confidence; after all, it was just the Shikong Zhongmo. They could create a Time-Space River with a wave of their hands, and even if it were the end of the Time-Space Mother River, it would just be a larger-sized end, with no significant change in its essence.

But now, they admit they had underestimated it too much.

Even without entering, just by watching from here, they felt like tiny living beings caught in a world-ending disaster; they possessed various Supernatural Abilities and spells, capable of shifting and maneuvering, yet remained powerless in the face of a disaster where the World was collapsing, destined to perish along with it.

"Are you afraid now?"

Zhongjie Daozhu said.

"However, it is a pity; even if you are afraid, you cannot withdraw. The End of Time and Space has opened, and the Causality within it has already entangled you; you will not be able to shake it off even if you flee to the ends of the earth."

"Hmm, Fellow Daoist Li is an exception; he truly has the ability to shake off the Causality, but surely Fellow Daoist Li would not flee from the battle, would he?"

He looked at Li Heng and said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Zhongjie, there is no need for you to use reverse psychology; I originally intended to go and see the End of Time and Space, so how could I withdraw? If anything, I am becoming more and more interested now."

Li Heng responded with a smile, took a step forward, becoming the first to brave the unknown, and his figure submerged into the Light Gate, stepping into the End of Time and Space.
