Chapter 377: The Despicable Deserter

To tell the truth, I currently lack effective means to damage consciousness entities; if I want a truly effective method... well, I really have to go ask the System.

Moreover, I am currently inside a Time Rift, and if nothing goes wrong, this must be the handiwork of Tai Kong.

He can interfere with space and time.

That explains another thing: Tai Kong is no longer a three-dimensional being; he is a higher-dimensional being.

No, strictly speaking, higher-dimensional beings are invisible to the naked eye.

Even if a higher-dimensional being deliberately changes themselves, they wouldn't be as clear as Tai Kong, so Tai Kong's higher dimension shouldn't be very high, perhaps even just half a higher dimension.

For example, when Tai Kong ascended from three dimensions to four, he only ascended to three-and-a-half dimensions, possessing some four-dimensional characteristics.

Then the question arises: why did he want to ascend?

Just as Ye Cang was squinting his eyes in thought.

The Tai Kong before his eyes spoke.

"Ye Cang, I have no malice toward you; I have only come to persuade you: stop the transformation of the Solar System, stop the Expedition to the galaxy, stop all actions."

"Leave the future to time."

"Time will bring you everything you want."

Huh?

The look in Ye Cang's eyes as he looked at Tai Kong became strange.

What does this mean?

It sounds just like he's telling me not to be a busybody, that I and Earth should just lie flat and be quiet, and the Universe will naturally become what I want it to be.

Hmm... confirmed, Tai Kong is running a pyramid scheme to scam people!

"What if time doesn't bring me what I want? What then?" Ye Cang asked Tai Kong in return.

"Time cannot be reversed, and nothing can be done over; at that point, only sorrow and regret will remain."

"That will not happen." Tai Kong denied it flatly.

Regarding this, Ye Cang rolled his eyes and began to ponder how he could land a sword strike on this Tai Kong!

He and I have never had any interaction, yet the moment we meet, he tells me to abandon all actions.

And he trapped me in a Time Rift.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem like a good person.

Hmm, what should I do?

Time, space...

Based on what I know, the only things that can interfere with both seem to be gravity—incredibly powerful gravity.

For example, a Black Hole.

And after Tai Kong saw that Ye Cang had suddenly stopped talking and was wearing a thoughtful expression.

He said again: "You can push civilization forward, but you cannot change the Universe; the best way is to let nature take its course and let the Universe develop on its own."

"Whether it is Liangbing's Fallen Freedom or Karl's Void Arrival, those are the Universe's own choices."

This speech from Tai Kong successfully made Ye Cang decide that he must give Tai Kong a sword strike! Stab him to death!

All the Universe's own choices?

What a fine "Universe's own choice"!

This is nowhere near the Universe's own choice; it is clearly his, Tai Kong's, choice!

Tai Kong made the choice for the Universe!

Since that is the case...

Then today, I will also make a choice for the "Universe"!

Stab this Tai Kong to death.

As Ye Cang made up his mind, the Power Sword, which had been flickering with a faint blue light, was covered at this moment by a layer of crimson energy.

This crimson energy illuminated the entire Time Rift.

A feeling suddenly rose from the bottom of Ye Cang's heart: he could definitely hurt this ascending consciousness entity Tai Kong now, or even kill him!

Without hesitation, Ye Cang leaped forward, charging directly into the vast, boundless starry sky before him, brandishing the Power Sword in his hand.

The next second.

A scream rang out from the starry sky.

"Ah!"

"Ye Cang, you forever selfish fellow, you will destroy the Universe like this!"

"You are a sinner! The greatest sinner in the Universe! The Universe cannot contain you!"

Tai Kong's voice trembled slightly due to the pain, but it remained calm, without any fluctuation.

Ye Cang did not want to pay attention to Tai Kong's words.

He only wanted to seize the time to land a few more sword strikes on Tai Kong, striving to kill him directly so he wouldn't be here spouting nonsense.

A sinner?

Sinner my ass!

If striving is also a sin, then every living thing in the entire Universe is monstrously sinful and intolerable to heaven and earth!

However, for some reason.

Ye Cang, who did not want to pay attention to Tai Kong, suddenly had a string of words flash through his mind.

This made him unable to help but stop his movements and speak them out.

"Tai Kong, you despicable deserter! You are not worthy to say these things!"

"I, Ye Cang, can scold anyone! But you are not worthy! What are you! You only ever think about running away!"

Unexpectedly, Ye Cang's words caused Taikong to completely lose his composure.

The voice that had been calm all along finally began to fluctuate.

And the fluctuations were massive, turning into hysteria without any warning.

"I am a despicable deserter?"

"Ye Cang, stop spouting nonsense! This was the best choice! There is no other! You wouldn't understand! You never will!"

"You stubborn mule!"

After saying this, the starry sky around Ye Cang suddenly vanished, and Ye Cang returned to the spaceship.

The next second, time began to flow again.

Kaisha, standing by his side, suddenly widened her eyes.

"Hm?"

"Ye Cang, why did you suddenly put on your battle armor? What are you doing?"

"Is there an enemy coming?"

Seeing the look of confusion on Kaisha's face, Ye Cang simply said, "There is no enemy."

"I just wanted to see if the battle armor fits."

This lame excuse left Kaisha completely bewildered.

This reason was too perfunctory; couldn't he have found a better one?

Honestly!

But before Kaisha could say anything more, Ye Cang leaped, left the spaceship directly, and flew toward the direction of Earth.

"Kaisha, you keep watch here for now."

"I have something to take care of back home, I'll be back once I'm done!"

Without giving Kaisha a chance to refuse, Ye Cang accelerated, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Leaving behind only a bewildered Kaisha.

What on earth was Ye Cang acting up about?

Standing there perfectly fine, then suddenly turning into this.

It was truly inexplicable.

After a brief moment of confusion, Kaisha cast the matter to the back of her mind.

In any case, Ye Cang had never been particularly normal.

What normal person would remain indifferent when faced with an Angel as beautiful as her, even kicking her out of his bed without mercy when she took the initiative to climb in?

But that wasn't important; what was important was that she was the Queen!

Who would refuse an active Queen?

Perhaps only Ye Cang!

"Tch!"

Kaisha couldn't help but roll her eyes, then immediately returned to her busy work.

Regardless, she couldn't let it delay her proper business.

Meanwhile, Ye Cang had already transformed into a Quantum State, riding a Light Quantum back to his office.

He sat in his office and began to seriously analyze what exactly was going on with this Taikong.

First, Taikong definitely knew him; judging by his tone, they were certainly well-acquainted.

But the problem was that he didn't know him at all, and this was his first time meeting him.

Could it be that in the days to come, he would travel back 200,000 years to meet Taikong and co-found the Super Seminary with him?

And in the end, because their philosophies didn't align, they parted ways and became bitter enemies?
