Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 648 - 600 The Only Way to Escape

Wu Hen's face was darker than the coffee in his cup.

"You've been researching for half a day, only to conclude it's a dead end. Are we destined to become like these Cang Chu natives, mere trials for other Nuwa Lineages on their path to enlightenment?" Wu Hen said irritably.

"I know you're anxious, but take it easy for a moment." Li Feng noticed Wu Hen's agitation.

"How can I not be anxious? Do you know the rumors outside... I practice diligently every day, and they say 'San Niang teaches her children.' When I got beaten black and blue by the Holy Sect's Cai Lan, why didn't you say the path was blocked then? When I was sweating profusely persuading the demons, why didn't you say the road ahead was closed? During my nightly space travels, experiencing the suffering of Cang Chu's beings, why didn't you say the path was blocked? Now that I'm finally seeing progress, you tell me there's no road ahead. How will you compensate for the humiliation I've endured these days!" Wu Hen's temper flared.

Li Feng, you thick-browed, big-eyed man, always playing your petty tricks before me, and now this!

"You have to let me finish."

"You're the one who boldly took on this Heavenly Repair task..." Wu Hen continued, spitting with fury.

"What I'm saying is the path to the current time and space is blocked. Have you forgotten? We of the Nuwa God End possess the ability of Time Travel." Li Feng said.

"Oh..." Wu Hen's mood stabilized abruptly, and he took a sip of his little coffee.

"The matter dates back to three hundred years ago. Let's aptly call the Nuwa predecessors of that time the Night Nuwa Lineage. They indeed did something that outraged both gods and people. Three hundred years ago, they destroyed the only Star Bridge leading out of Cang Chu. The original Land of Ashes was a Seven-Colored Mountain and Sea... It looked just like the scenes described in myths." Li Feng said.

"Mythological otherworldly?" Wu Hen's mind involuntarily conjured up the Scroll Realm. Is the Scroll Realm truly real, or is it elusive and illusory? Is that a higher-dimensional world?

"Our Human Holy Realm most likely exists within myths, and if the Mythical World is real, then presumably the Mythical Kingdom that the Land of Ashes once connected to is our destination. But unfortunately, the Seven-Colored Mountain and Sea have turned into a Purgatory, becoming a black hole of death. No matter how you try to escape, you'll meet only demise. Life withers away there, matter is burnt, and we would become mere firewood in a burning star, turning to more ash, meaningless." Li Feng said. freēwēbnovel.com

"So what exactly happened three hundred years ago?" Wu Hen asked.

"I think we'll find out soon enough." Li Feng replied.

"What do you mean?" Wu Hen asked in confusion.

Though Cang Chu has a history of ten thousand years, a great gap appears every hundred years. Counting on them to preserve historical records is unlikely. Even the Holy Sect and Da Xuan have no interest in documenting one great downfall after another rising civilization.

Thus, what exactly happened three hundred years ago is vague even to Da Xuan's royal family, and the Holy Sect's records are even scarcer. It's not that this history is too mysterious, but all of Cang Chu's history isn't worth documenting. Besides varying suffering, obliteration, and tragedy, a peaceful, thriving era of several hundred or even a thousand years has never been born.

As the chief planner for humanity's continuation, Li Feng would never use Cang Chu as a habitat. The fact that events from three hundred years ago can't be recorded indicates that generation after generation has lived in mud pits.

"Three hundred years ago, our 'predecessors' destroyed our Life Gate, but the reason why Nuwa is called a high-dimensional deity and carries the faith of all humanity is because Nuwa God End has the ability of Time Travel. She can lead us back to three hundred years ago, escaping Cang Chu before our wretched predecessors destroy the only Life Gate." Li Feng said.

"Ah???" Wu Hen's mouth gaped wide open.

"Is it hard to understand? Simply put, we need to go from the bridge's head to its end, but it has already been broken. To reach the opposite side, we must return to the past, travel to before the bridge was broken, cross to the other side from the spatial dimension, and then recalibrate time. This way, we've essentially crossed both the spatial and temporal dimensions and reached the other shore." Li Feng explained.

"So when you said we'll soon know what happened, you meant we're going to personally witness the bloody battle between the Night Nuwa Lineage and the Human Clan Ten Thousand Veins three hundred years ago?" Wu Hen said in astonishment.

"Yes... But you also know that Time Travel is in a narrow sense. We aren't really going back to three hundred years ago and can't live in that time. We can only fall into a time pit temporarily. Once the timing is ripe, I'll activate the Time Travel, so you must mentally prepare yourself. Someday, you might wake up to find the time in Infinite City distorted, indicating our operation has started. At that time, it's up to us, the Nuwa Lineage in Infinite City, to break through that history and lead our unique Nuwa seed to a peaceful place on the other shore, to plant our Seed of Hope." Li Feng said.

"Why don't I understand this?" Wu Hen asked.

"You can think of it as Nuwa God End being unable to follow us through time. Only our soul essence can walk in the time dimension, but we need all of humanity to reach the other shore, not just us elite humans in Infinite City. We need someone to reach the opposite bank first, plant a transmission anchor point in three hundred years ago, allowing Nuwa God End to space travel directly. Once she crosses, all humanity crosses too." Li Feng said.

Wu Hen seemed to understand.

These people need to return to three hundred years ago, reach the other shore before the only bridge breaks, and plant a seed that would allow Nuwa God End to space jump.

Returning to the present, outside Cang Chu, there exists a Divine Wood that has grown strong for three hundred years. Nuwa God End can directly use the ability of Space Wander to jump to the other side, achieving dimensional crossover.

This is the only way to escape Cang Chu.

This also constitutes their spatial and temporal dimensional crossover.

No wonder the gods of Cang Chu Divine Realm are trapped on this land. Their ancestors lost their Nuwa God End. Without Nuwa God End's Time Travel ability, their descendants are destined to be blocked here too.

"The task doesn't sound too hard. Actually, even if we return to three hundred years ago, we can ignore the war between Night Nuwa and the Human Clan Ten Thousand Veins, focus entirely on flying towards the Seven-Colored Mountain and Sea, reach the other shore, and plant the seed..." Wu Hen said.

"There are two major challenges." Li Feng had made a clear plan before consulting with Wu Hen.

"First, once our Nuwa Lineage returns to three hundred years ago, we become targets of crusades by the Human Clan gods and Immortals. We need to break out of Infinite City, also because our route aligns with the Night Nuwa Lineage intending to destroy the Seven-Colored Mountain and Sea. The entire sky full of Star Gods in Infinite City will exert all their efforts to hunt us down."

"Second, 'outsiders' are lurking within our homeland, likely descendants of Night Nuwa. They are probably in Infinite City right now. They will cross to three hundred years ago with us. At that point, they will no longer hide and will stop us from completing this task at all costs."
