Absolute...still...space!?
This is a concept that does not exist at all in Yun Che's cognition.
According to Hua Caili, although she was born ten thousand years ago, the actual time flowing through her life was only nineteen years. For the rest of the years, she was in a sealed state?
No! Sealing and absolute stillness are two completely different concepts.
The latter...upon closer thought, is actually separated from time, from everything in the world, existing in a world of "nothingness" that is free from everything.
It was rare to see Yun Che with such shock on his face, but in Hua Caili's eyes, he looked very cute: "This is one of the biggest secrets of the Pure Land. In our Zhetian Divine Kingdom, only Father God, Auntie, and I know about it. The explanation given to the outside world is that Grandma Lingxian used a special Shinto ice to seal my body in her temple, and she never mentioned the existence of the 'cradle'."
Hua Qingying raised her hand and touched her eyebrows… Knowing that it was such a big secret, she actually told it to an outsider so directly.
Yun Che stared at Hua Caili for a long, long time. Just when Hua Caili thought he was shocked by the “absolute static space”, she heard him squeeze out a few words with some difficulty: “You are only… nineteen years old?”
Even younger than Yun Wuxin...
"yes."
The girl raised her hands to her cheeks, her face showing a charming and mischievous expression: "You took the initiative to call me sister, I didn't force you, hehe."
Nineteen years old...
Half-step to the realm of divine destruction...
hiss……
Even with Yun Che's unique holy body that was superior to all other living beings, it was impossible not to be secretly shocked.
Under such appearance and temperament, he was such an unimaginable and peerless evildoer. In fact, before this moment, he absolutely did not dare to put the two concepts of "nineteen years old" and "half-step to divine destruction" together.
Based on his current understanding of the power level of the abyss, he is afraid that no one in the entire abyss can compare with her.
Future achievements are unimaginable.
The person he abducted this time was probably not just a goddess from the kingdom of God, but a woman who would definitely shake up the history of the abyss.
However, while he was shocked, many of his previous doubts were also resolved.
He finally understood why she was so innocent and why her experience was so shallow... It turned out that she was only nineteen years old.
Ignoring her teasing, he asked with concern, "Why do you need such a long 'sleep'? Is it because of what you said before... the death you encountered at birth?"
"Yes." Hua Caili nodded. The first thing he asked about was not the cradle that would amaze anyone, but her safety. The anxiety in his eyes was almost overflowing, which made her very happy: "My mother passed away on the day I was born. 'Qu' is my mother's surname."
“Why did he die?” Yun Che asked.
Hua Caili's eyes dimmed, and she lowered her voice and said, "Father God said it was because of a serious illness... but I know it's not. But no matter how I asked, Father God and my aunt refused to tell me."
Hua Qingying: "..."
"Father God said that because of my mother's 'serious illness', my meridians were all injured when I was born, my innate profound veins were broken, and even my soul was completely severed... If it weren't for the Heavenly Prayer Jade that Father God and my aunt carried with them, I would have died that day."
"But the Heavenly Prayer Jade can only save my life temporarily. If you want me to survive and heal my meridians, mystical veins, and soul, there is only one way."
"The power of the true god and the tempering of the true god's soul."
"Moreover, the source of this true god power and true god soul must be the closest direct blood relative. That is, biological parents or brothers and sisters with the same father and mother."
Hua Qingying slowly closed her eyes, stopping the flashes of the scenes from that year.
“…” Yun Che’s eyebrows moved slightly.
"My mother 'died of illness', and I don't have any brothers or sisters with the same father and mother. The only one who can save me is my father... and he must be a father who has achieved true godhood."
"And this kind of 'recovery' is not achieved overnight. Its essence is actually a sacrifice of one's own vitality and soul. Even if it is the body and soul of a true god, if too much is sacrificed at once, it will cause irreversible permanent damage, and the person being sacrificed will find it difficult to bear."
Having said this, Yun Che already understood the general idea.
"So, Father God took me to the Pure Land and asked to put me in the 'cradle'... After finally getting the approval of Uncle Yuanhuang, Father God returned to the Zhetian Divine Kingdom, inherited the divine source, and became the new God."
"After I merged the Heaven-Breaking Divine Source and became a true god, Father God took me out of the cradle and healed me. Each time he healed me, he could keep me safe for a year. My meridians, my profound veins, and my soul were all the same as when they were complete. And he needed at least five hundred years to recover."
"So, every five hundred years or so, Father God would come to the Pure Land to heal me, and then take me back to the Zhetian Divine Kingdom, and send me back a year later... In this way, before I knew it, more than ten thousand years had passed."
"But in my world, it only felt like nineteen years had passed."
“I see.” Yun Che held her willow-like waist with both hands, his face full of pity: “You have suffered such a disaster since you were born, and I was unable to protect you at that time.”
He exhaled softly, his voice carrying a hint of emptiness: "That is to say, in a few months at most, you will have to return to the 'cradle' of the Pure Land, and then... we won't be able to see each other again for more than five hundred years?"
“No.” Seeing Yun Che’s obviously suppressed sense of loss, she leaned forward to hug him, her lips pressed against his cheek: “Just nine months ago, Father God completed the final healing for me, and also made my meridians, profound veins, and soul body completely complete. I no longer need Father God’s sacrifice.”
"When I left the Pure Land for the last time, Grandma Lingxian gave me a sea of colorful clouds and flowers to celebrate my recovery. So, I met you...Brother Yun at the best time."
This soft call, with jade lips touching the ear, is so soft and sweet that it penetrates into the bones.
She had called him "brother" in many ways in her life. After all, she was born very young, but she was very young. However, although it was the same exact word, and it was a very ordinary name, when she called it out, she suddenly felt her heartbeat quicken and her cheeks warm... She buried her head deeply in Yun Che's neck and didn't look into his eyes for a long time.
Hua Caili, who was lying on Yun Che’s chest, clearly felt that he relaxed all of a sudden, and her voice was no longer as empty as before: “You scared me… It seems that it is really a blessing from God that I meet you at this time.”
"Although I am alone, powerless, and my cultivation is very weak, but..." He hugged the girl tightly, raised his head slightly, and said with firmness and sonority: "For the rest of your life, I will do my best to protect you."
"Yeah." Hua Caili closed her eyes and responded softly, saying similar words in her heart: I will also do my best to protect you... no matter what we have to face.
“Hmm? You trust me so much?” Yun Che smiled: “You are the most noble goddess of the kingdom of gods, and I don’t even have a background. Aren’t you afraid that I have always been a liar with ulterior motives?”
"Swindler? Hmm..." She pretended to think seriously: "What on earth is a liar who risked his life to save me time and time again trying to trick me into thinking?"
"I am yours now, my heart is yours, and my life is yours." Her voice was sweet but serious: "What else do you want to lie to me about? Tell me, and I can give you everything."
“…” Yun Che’s gaze was stunned for a very short moment.
Then he asked, "What if one day... I do something to hurt you?"
The girl in his arms paused, and she suddenly lifted her head from his neck, wrapping her hands around his neck even tighter. She looked straight at him with her bright eyes, and her lips curled up unhappily: "You...you're not going to sneak away again, are you? You've promised so many times."
“No, no.” Yun Che immediately shook his head and denied it: “I’m just worried… maybe one day I’ll do something too much and hurt you…”
Hua Caili felt relieved and resumed her charming smile: "As long as you don't leave, no matter what you do, I won't really blame you... Besides, I don't believe you will hurt me."
"Besides..." Her voice suddenly became softer, and she said softly, "You have done the most outrageous things to me."
As she spoke, she pressed her lips forward and bit his neck lightly, leaving a shallow tooth mark.
Yun Che did not speak any more, only his chest rose and fell a few times. The arm holding the girl tightened slightly, and then loosened slightly in a moment.
Although she had already woken up, Hua Caili was still reluctant to get up, and Yun Che let her be so lazy.
After spending a while together, Yun Che asked, “Is the cradle of the Pure Land a magical place beyond imagination?”
Although it obviously touches on secret taboos, since it involves things beyond cognition, it is not surprising that anyone cannot help but ask questions out of curiosity.
Hua Caili said, "Actually, I don't know what a 'cradle' looks like."
Yun Che: “……?”
"Every time before entering the 'Cradle', I was faced with a closed barrier. Then Uncle Yuanhuang asked me to close my eyes... at most for one breath, and then Uncle Yuanhuang would ask me to open my eyes again."
“For me, it was just a brief moment of closing and opening my eyes, but when I opened my eyes, I was facing a world more than 500 years later.”
Because of the "absolute stillness", she had no idea about the years she spent in the "cradle".
“I actually… didn’t feel anything at all?” Yun Che murmured. Because only “not feeling anything at all” could prove that it was indeed “absolute stillness”.
But... does the concept of "time standing still" really exist?
"Well, I didn't feel anything at all." Hua Caili explained without reservation: "On one occasion, I secretly held a flower petal of the colorful cloud in my palm. I just blinked my eyes and turned around to face the Father God more than 500 years later."
"And the flower petals in my hand haven't changed at all. Even the position and size of the dewdrops on them are exactly the same."
Yun Che sighed: "There really is such a magical place in the world."
Then, he naturally asked, "How is this 'absolute static space' created? Even my master has never mentioned such an amazing existence."
Hua Caili thought for a moment and said, "Of course I don't know either. But Father God seemed to have said..."
"Cai Li, the secret of the Pure Land cannot be explained in detail."
Hua Qingying finally couldn't bear it any longer, and a line of cold sound went straight into Hua Caili's ears.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Hua Caili stuck out her tongue and whispered, "Aunt is stingy and won't let me say it."
Hua Qingying: "..."
Yun Che quickly sat down and said sternly, "Auntie... Senior is right. There is no mention of the existence of the 'cradle' in all the rumors and records of the Abyss. This must be a secret of the Pure Land. I shouldn't have asked too much."
“Yes, yes. I listen to my aunt the most.” Hua Caili also nodded in assurance, then put her lips to Yun Che and said in a very low voice that she thought her aunt couldn’t hear: “Next time when my aunt is not around, I’ll tell you secretly.”
Hua Qingying: "~!@#￥%..."
“Uh…” Yun Che wisely shut up and didn’t ask any more questions for a long time.
But the waves in his heart continued to surge.
After pondering for a long time, he asked in his soul voice: "Li Suo, how much do you know about the Eternal Heaven Pearl?"
Li Su knew what he was going to ask, and said directly: "It is incomplete. But I am sure that the Eternal Sky Pearl cannot achieve absolute stillness of time."
Yun Che frowned slightly: "Are you sure you can't?"
Li Suo said: "The Eternal Heaven Pearl's interference with time lies only in its own unique space, the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm. It can compress or expand the laws of time in the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, thereby making the flow of time faster or slower than the outside world."
"But no matter what, even if the law of time is compressed to the extreme, causing the flow of time to be extremely slow, it will still continue to flow and cannot be stopped, let alone reversed."
"Because whether it's 'time standing still' or 'time flowing backwards', they are both reverse phenomena that completely violate the laws of time. They shouldn't exist, let alone exist."
Yun Che thought about it and said, “But the time of the world has indeed flowed backwards before…”
"I know." Li Suo did not show any surprise: "I listened to the whole conversation between you and the Ancestral God. She once reversed time to save you and to create the 'Vessel of Destiny' for you. But... that was the Ancestral God, the creator of all the laws of chaos."
"But even the Lord of the First Ancestor God cannot violate many existing rules. She also paid a huge price when she reversed time."
Yun Che knew what the price was.
"Under the Lord Ancestral God, it is impossible for 'time to stand still'."
Li Su's words were decisive due to her understanding of the laws of time.
“However, there is a cradle with an ‘absolutely still space’ in the Pure Land.” Yun Che pondered and said, “Do you think Hua Caili’s words are a lie or exaggeration?”
Li Suo was unable to answer and remained silent for a long time.
The shock in Yun Che’s heart became even more intense.
Because the cradle mentioned by Hua Caili actually transcends the cognition of a creator god (who is half amnesiac).
Why can the Pure Land do something that even the most powerful time instrument, the Eternal Heaven Pearl, cannot do...
Wait... a time vessel?
"What did you think of?" Li Suo sensed the excitement in his soul.
Yun Che said as he pondered, “Do you still remember the ‘Netherworld Mirror’ and ‘Devil Pearl’ that the Demon Queen learned from the ancient memories of the Nirvana Demon Soul before I fell into the abyss?”
“I know something.” Li Suo whispered, “But I can’t remember their names. After all, they are the magic weapons of the demons.”
“Their names are not important.” Yun Che’s voice gradually became heavy: “The Queen of Demons caught a glimpse of the mirror light from Mo Beichen’s memory. She suspected that the Abyss Emperor used the ‘Underworld Mirror’ that the ancient demons lost to open the abyss passage. The ‘Demon Pearl’ that was lost along with the ‘Underworld Mirror’ is likely to be in the abyss as well.”
"At the same time, due to the balance between the artifacts of the gods and the artifacts of the demons, the Demon Queen determined that the 'magic bead' is very likely a time magic artifact."
Li Suo understood what he meant: "So, you think that the lost 'magic bead' is also in the hands of Yuanhuang, and he used it to create the 'cradle'?"
After a long silence, Yun Che slowly replied, “This is the possibility I can think of at the moment.”
only……
The Eternal Sky Pearl ranks fourth among the Xuantian treasures.
Even though the "Magic Pearl" is a time vessel of the same level as the Eternal Heaven Pearl, since it is not included in the list of the seven great treasures, it means that its comprehensive time power must be weaker than that of the Eternal Heaven Pearl.
How can it achieve "time stillness" that even the Eternal Sky Pearl cannot achieve?
At this time, Li Suo suddenly said slowly: "If 'time stillness' is really achieved, it must be a method that is not within the laws of time or the rules of heaven."
"Going against the will of heaven and tearing the taboo apart... will definitely cost you a huge price."
“The price?” Yun Che sneered faintly: “The Abyss Emperor created the world of the Abyss and has survived until now. His power, status, and reputation are all at the top of the world, and his power is unrivaled in the Abyss of all times. The Pure Land is even more of a ‘fairyland’ in this world. How can there be any price…”
His voice stopped abruptly.
These four short words roared in his soul like thunder...
It has appeared since ancient times, and its fluctuations are becoming more and more violent, indicating that the Abyss Time Wheel is about to collapse, and the entire Abyss is about to collapse...
Black tide of time!
