Chapter 500: The Secret and Birth of the Long River of Time, the Cycle of the Worlds
Could it be the origin of Qi? !
The old man with white eyebrows felt an extremely pure and innate energy of rules from the black and white leaves, which directly pointed to the origin!
Moreover, this "origin" is not the origin of a certain world, but the most primitive origin, that is, the "origin" of the entire world.
This kind of "original energy" only appeared at the moment when the world was first created and all the worlds were born. In fact, the old man with white eyebrows himself did not know how many kinds of original energy were born at that time.
Because when the Ten Thousand Worlds were created, he had not yet appeared in this world. Even though he has lived for countless years, the number of people in the Ten Thousand Worlds who have lived longer than him can probably be counted on two hands.
But compared to the moment when all the worlds were born, he was still too immature.
As for why he recognized the "original energy", it was because he obtained a trace of the original energy a long, long time ago.
Therefore, even if he did not recognize what this original energy was specifically, he knew that it must be the original energy. As for what it was exactly, it was not important.
The trace of original energy that he obtained was the "innate energy of time".
According to his understanding, the "innate time energy" is a stone, which was divided into ten parts after the birth of all worlds. Nine of them were integrated into the long river of time, and the last part was divided into ten parts.
These ten innate time energies roam throughout the myriad worlds, becoming opportunities for countless powerful people to compete for.
And he had once snatched one of the strands in that ancient war, and after getting it, he escaped.
Therefore, he was hunted for millions of years. At that time, his strength was not enough, and facing those chaotic powerful people standing at the top of the pyramid of all worlds, he could only flee madly.
Perhaps he had incredible luck, as he managed to escape the hunt and reincarnated nine times. Only after he had cleansed himself of all the karma that had been tainted on him did he completely get rid of the hunt and that "innate time energy" was preserved to this day.
This is also the main reason why he can live above the long river of time.
But since he only obtained a tiny bit of it, even less than one percent, he could not live in the River of Time for a long time. He could only live there for a year at most, and then he had to leave the River of Time to cleanse the time cause and effect on his body.
Although both the "innate time energy" and the "long river of time" involve the "origin" of all worlds, they are not things of the same level.
Because when all the worlds were born, the long river of time was the first to be born. In other words, the "innate time energy" in that stone is just a trace of "time rule" that overflows from the long river of time. It is equivalent to being "redundant" and does not affect the integrity of the long river of time.
The long river of time is the real origin.
There is also a little-known legend that the long river of time was born first, and then the myriad worlds were born.
In other words, the essence of the long river of time not only governs all worlds, but is even higher than all worlds.
Therefore, a saying has emerged that after the collapse of all worlds, the long river of time will not collapse, but will re-evolve into the next world.
However, no one can prove this statement.
Because everyone in the Ten Thousand Worlds today does not know whether the Ten Thousand Worlds are collapsing and being born again and again. In their eyes, the Ten Thousand Worlds have always existed and have never collapsed. Once they collapse, they will return to chaos and nothingness, and everything will lose its meaning.
Therefore, even the old man with white eyebrows did not know whether the Ten Thousand Worlds would collapse or not, and what Ten Thousand Worlds it was now.
Perhaps only those who have survived from the previous Ten Thousand Worlds to the present day know this truth.
However, such a person should not exist. Even if he does exist, the old man with white eyebrows cannot know him.
But no matter what, one thing is certain, that is, the long river of time is the true "supreme origin", which is beyond doubt.
Because there is a truth that everyone knows - "Time gives meaning to everything."
Only time can make everything flow and give meaning to everything's existence.
Some ascetics always say - "Time is king, space is king."
This sentence seems to praise the power of the time rule, but in fact it elevates the status of the "space rule". From a realistic perspective, time and space cannot be compared on the same latitude.
Laws such as "space", "fate", "cause and effect" and "reincarnation" are all given meaning by "time", so there is an essential difference between them.
This is also why, after Su Mu became the keeper of the River of Time, it caused a sensation in the entire world.
His name has become so famous that it is well-known among the highest circles in the universe.
"Those people" gradually began to get restless and started to panic.
He began to test Su Mu, to test the extent to which he controlled the long river of time, why he wanted to guard the river, where he came from, what was his purpose, why he could control the long river of time, whether he was simply guarding the river or refining the river, and what kind of strength he possessed.
The old man with white eyebrows actually had these questions as well, but he approached them with a "friendly" attitude.
He didn't want to know why Su Mu was guarding the River of Time. This was not important to him now. What was important was that he just wanted to stay quietly on the River of Time and live until the collapse of all worlds. To be precise, he wanted to live until that day to see whether all worlds also had a "lifespan".
Another theory is that some people speculate that Su Mu is most likely not a "living being" but the manifestation of consciousness in the long river of time.
Because there has never been a situation where a living being controls the river of time. It has never happened before, and there is no record of it.
Therefore, from the very beginning, he wanted to make friends with Su Mu rather than his enemy.
He has no more desires and no longer wants to move forward. He has seen his limit and just wants to live quietly.
But "some people" are different from him. They still want to go up, to the extreme, to the end, so they "test" Su Mu with hostility.
The old man with white eyebrows would not delve into those legends, nor did he want to delve into them.
In fact, he would rather see a situation where Su Mu is an independent individual rather than a manifestation of will.
He also wanted to see what would happen if a living being truly controlled the river of time, and where the end of the road of "cultivation" would be.
Just as the white-browed old man was thinking.
Su Mu had already used the black and white leaves as bait, hung them on the fishhook, and threw them into the pond.
The white-browed old man stared at Su Mu's float in the pond, his face solemn and nervous, as if he was worried about what Su Mu would catch.
