On the altar of time.
Zhu Wannian's body remained motionless, his eyes slightly closed, and his face serene; he was nothing but an empty shell.
But Ye Wuque's gaze was fixed on a strange jade slip lying silently on the Time Altar in front of Zhu Wannian.
This jade slip shimmers with a unique radiance and fluctuation of "cause and effect," pulsating gently but not intensely, yet conveying a sense of gentle, enduring flow.
The brilliant light in Ye Wuque's eyes was fleeting!
He immediately sensed that the reason this "Cause and Effect Jade Slip" was placed here seemed to be specifically for him.
The person who left behind this jade slip of cause and effect should be Zhu Wannian!
Then the situation of the entire Xixiang universe and the entire Twilight Mystic Society remains to be discussed.
Ye Wuque gently extended his right hand and touched the jade slip of cause and effect. The moment he touched it...
Buzz buzz buzz!
The causal light on the jade slip suddenly shone, illuminating Ye Wuque's outstretched right hand.
Ye Wuque immediately sensed that this was a confirmation of cause and effect!
He had visited the Western Xiang Universe and the Twilight Mystic Meeting, and had conversations and contact with Zhu Wannian, thus having a connection with Zhu Wannian.
This thread of cause and effect has now become the proof.
In other words, if it were not Ye Wuque who came, but some other being, even if they obtained this jade slip of cause and effect, they would not be able to open its contents.
really!
Ye Wuque made no move; he merely released a trace of his own karma. The radiance on the karma jade slip immediately pulsed rapidly, then subsided completely and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
As the Jade Slip of Cause and Effect lit up, a ray of divine soul light flew out from it, evolving in the void and instantly condensing into the image of Zhu Wannian, the size of a human head.
This is clearly a specially infused phantom of divine soul!
This illusory image of a deity who has been burning for ten thousand years also sat cross-legged in the void, his face calm and his eyes peaceful, seemingly looking at Ye Wuque.
However, Ye Wuque knew that the illusory soul left behind by Zhu Wannian was not something that could be communicated with, but rather something that could only passively convey its message.
"Master Ye..."
"When you see this illusory image of my divine soul, it proves that you have descended upon the Western Xiang Universe!"
Zhu Wannian's voice rang out, equally peaceful.
"This also proves that the means to block the Xixiang Universe are useless in front of you, which means that you have now become exceptionally powerful!"
"With Master Ye's current strength and insight, he should be able to see the situation of all living beings in the entire Xixiang Universe. If nothing unexpected happens, they should all be fast asleep."
"This is harmless; it is because of the spread of a trace of the power of 'Twilight Symphony' that this situation has occurred."
"And all the living beings within my Twilight Mystic Society were not killed, but rather... listened to the twilight symphony and returned to the embrace of twilight!"
"Master Ye must know that the Twilight Mystic Society has achieved extraordinary accomplishments and attainments in the 'Way of Time and Space'!"
"The reason why my Twilight Mystic Society has been able to establish itself in all the heavens and myriad worlds is because of the power unique to Twilight!"
“The arrival, establishment, and presence of each of our branches are carefully selected, and so are our departures.”
"Within my Twilight Mystic Society, the existence of the physical body is nothing, truly like a vessel or shell. Only the primordial spirit and will that constantly listen to 'Twilight' are eternal."
"'Return to Twilight' is a ceremony that signifies the complete withdrawal of a mysterious branch of Twilight Society, and our return to the true headquarters standing in all the heavens and myriad worlds."
"It's not death, but something like... a job report."
Ye Wuque had been listening quietly, and upon hearing this, his eyes flickered.
Return to twilight!
Clearly, this was the first time Zhu Wannian had explained the current situation to him.
The return of the primordial spirit and will means that the physical body is merely a discarded vessel.
This sounds extremely eerie, but it also proves the power and unpredictability of the Twilight Mystic Society!
All the heavens and myriad realms!
countless.
It was even more vast and incredible than I had imagined.
The voice of the Divine Soul Candle continued to ring out.
"Before, because I foresaw things in the future, I had a slight misunderstanding with you, Master Ye."
"But as I said, there are no personal grudges involved. It's just that my actions were somewhat reckless. On behalf of the Twilight Mystic Society of the Western Xiang Universe, I maintain the same stance..."
"I have no intention of becoming your enemy, Master Ye!"
"The Twilight Mystic Society's motto... fair trade! That's their attitude."
"There are two reasons why we chose to return to the twilight and withdraw from the four universes."
"Firstly, my previous prediction about you, Master Ye, was actually half incomplete..."
"Six months from now, Master Ye, you will not only erase the four universes, but you will also wipe out the five divine surnames completely, leaving not a single one alive!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Wuque's eyes flashed again.
really!
Zhu Wannian did indeed hold back some information, and really omitted half of what he said.
Why keep half?
Were they frightened or intimidated?
So you're afraid to say it?
Ye Wuque's mind raced, and he immediately made a deduction.
"Master Ye, I admit, I was terrified at the time! I didn't even dare to say it!"
"Because this is simply unbelievable! The five great divine surnames have stood here for countless years, and even my Xixiang Cosmic Twilight Mystic Society tries its best to avoid their sharp edge."
"Fortunately, it seems that the five great divine surnames have not extended their tentacles over for a long time. In fact, there is a causal shield within the Five Divine Ancient Universe, so we don't know what happened."
"But the idea of wiping out the entire Five Great Divine Clans is still incredibly unbelievable!"
"At that moment, I was utterly horrified!"
"So, when you, Master Ye, saw this Jade Slip of Cause and Effect, I had no idea what the situation of the Four Universes and the Five Divine Clans had become!"
"But perhaps my prediction of six months in the future is not accurate. Although time jumps are mysterious and unpredictable, they are still not something I can completely control."
The voice of the Divine Soul Candle, which had lasted for ten thousand years, carried a hint of a sigh.
Ye Wuque watched quietly, his eyes deep.
The so-called foresight from Zhu Wannian about the future six months from now...
It seems like we're half right now!
He did indeed extinguish the gloom of the corrupt five divine surnames and went on a killing spree.
From the perspective of predicting the future, this makes sense.
However, Ye Wuque remained calm, without any extra emotions surging within him.
Because he had already realized something...
If you are strong enough, the future... can be changed!
These were the words Kong had taught him in the past, and also his insights after several experiences of traveling through time.
"Master Ye, you are so powerful, so incredibly strong. Although my Twilight Mystic Society has no ill intentions, a misunderstanding has been sown. I need to protect myself, so I choose to let this Twilight Mystic Society... return to Twilight!"
The Divine Soul Candle speaks the truth for ten thousand years.
This also seems to prove his attitude: he really doesn't want to be Ye Wuque's enemy!
Even if it's just a misunderstanding, we must eliminate the possibility of becoming enemies.
Decisive, meticulous, and without any hesitation.
They abandoned the foundation they had built up over many years in the Xixiang Universe just like that.
Ye Wuque's gaze flickered slightly upon hearing this.
Immediately.
Then it was seen that the posture of the Divine Soul Candle, which had been sitting cross-legged for ten thousand years, seemed to have become more upright and serious.
"As for the second reason..."
Shenhun Zhu Wannian's tone also became solemn, carrying a sense of reverence.
"Master Ye".
"Those of you who have seen this jade slip of cause and effect should have already realized or learned and confirmed one thing from the five great divine surnames!"
"That means there are... beings monitoring us outside the four universes!"
"Beyond the four universes, there must be even wider regions, right?"
"So what I'm saying is, that's definitely the truth!"
"I can tell you with certainty that outside the Four Great Universes and the Five Ancient Universes, there are not only vaster regions and more races of beings, but they all belong to a nation called the 'Red Moon Universe Kingdom'!"
"In other words, the four universes and the five ancient universes are geographically located in one of the remote areas of the 'Red Moon Universe Kingdom'."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wuque's eyes narrowed slightly again.
