Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 651 - 603 Local Erasure
Even the long-time residents of Infinite City have never witnessed such phenomena.
In the sky, there is a reflection of an identical Infinite City, but that Infinite City clearly does not belong to this time and space. Yet, that time and space is unfolding magnificently and tragically just like the present moment. The silhouettes formed by the clouds and mist are becoming increasingly distinct, and gradually, they seem to truly be living before everyone's eyes. They have flesh and blood, their Divine Skills and Laws obscure the sky and sun, their blood seeps into the earth, the cracked spaces they shatter extend across the same world, and even at a certain moment, they might directly descend into this Infinite City, staring bewilderedly at everyone here! freewebnσvel.cøm
No one would doubt the reality of that time space in the sky. Compared to the authentic carnage there, the serene scene of Infinite City here seems somewhat unreal...
The vast majority of people do not understand what is happening. They merely look up, their hearts filled with great dread. Quite a few races have already kneeled, just as the most ancient humans revered the heavens, revered nature, and revered all things unknown to them. In fact, no matter what stage of evolution, the Human Clan has never truly understood the mysteries of the universe.
In Modern City, the Nuwa Lineage, however, understands exactly what all this is.
Yet, when that shocking history is laid bare before their eyes, it still brings a violent impact to each person's heart. They had never thought that two time spaces could overlap like this, as if the mission they are about to accomplish will re-enact the scene in the sky in Infinite City once more.
"Look over there!"
In Modern City, Xu Xia, who had already achieved a modest accomplishment in the Holy Cultivation sect, suddenly pointed to a corner of the sky, his face full of amazement.
In that corner of the sky stood a Red Robed Saint God. He had sword-like brows and starry eyes, exceedingly handsome. Yet, what was even more astonishing than his appearance was the Divine Power Holy Soul he was displaying, which turned out to be an Ancient Qilin. This Qilin attached itself to him, becoming the most fearsome presence in the entire sky. The scarlet Divine Thunder that erupted with every move he made was crushing the densely packed human warriors like black clouds.
Those human warriors were all clad in fighting clothes, emitting an ancient martial aura. More than a few seemed to also possess an Ancient Dragon bloodline. These Ancient Dragon-human warriors were clearly fighting against the Red Robed Saint God, yet it seemed as though the legion of ten thousand had been surrounded by this Saint God.
Suddenly, a scarlet Thunder God Mountain appeared, composed of countless thunder vein patterns, each comparable to the spine of a mountain ridge, coalescing into what seemed to be a terrifying mountain gorge-heavenly gate. They layered, coiling like dragons and phoenixes, and finally became what people saw as the Thunder God Mountain. The Thunder God Mountain pressed heavily on those ten thousand Ancient Warriors, immediately turning them into fragments.
At the moment of these Ancient Warriors' demise, there was a Space-Time Thunder that inexplicably crossed the boundary between the two time spaces, bizarrely spreading into Modern City...
Many people were still marveling at the power of the Saint God from three hundred years ago, when suddenly someone in Modern City was struck by the Space-Time Thunder!
"Boom!!!!!!!!"
Xu Xia stood dumbfounded, being the one struck by the Space-Time Thunder.
The next second, he was obliterated by the Space-Time Thunder!
No blood and flesh flying, not turned to ashes, a living person vanished on the spot, not leaving any bit of dust behind, as if erased directly from this world.
"What's going on???" A few fellow members of the Holy Cultivation lineage were horrified, having witnessed Xu Xia's disappearance firsthand.
"He disappeared into thin air..."
"It wasn't just him; a few others disappeared as well."
"Why is the battle over there affecting our present world???"
Wu Hen and Rat had already returned to Modern City. He looked up at the extremely strange Space-Time Thunder, trying to use all his Perception to comprehend what this thunder spreading to the present world was...
"The people who disappeared were likely descendants of Night Nuwa. In Nuwa God End, there might be many who are Night Nuwa's descendants. If their ancestors were killed three hundred years ago, it means they cannot exist in this time space. We are currently being corrected by the history being reenacted in the sky!" Rat said.
"How could this be? What happened three hundred years ago is unchangeable. If Xu Xia and the ancestors of those just erased died at that time, they shouldn't have appeared in this world in the first place. But I interacted with Xu Xia, I clearly remember meeting him for the first time when he was protecting some common people persecuted by the Human Emperor in Tongtian City," Wu Hen said.
"Wu Hen, if what happened three hundred years ago is immutable, it means that even if we travel back in time, it would be in vain. In fact, that unchangeable history may have a missing piece, waiting for us time travelers to go back and fill it. Ultimately, everything just like a completed movie... it's the reenactment being corrected by history that signifies that our actions in crossing time are meaningful!" Rat said.
"I don't understand. We haven't even gone back yet; that history should remain unchanged. Xu Xia and those few people existing in the present imply their ancestors survived. Even if history is reenacted, it ought to be that their ancestors survived." Wu Hen must understand the Laws of this time-space overlap.
The ability to go back and do what, and what not to do, is very important for time travelers.
"Among those ten thousand warriors, there were about two hundred survivors, who luckily survived the assault of the Red Robed Saint God's Thunder God Mountain Range. So, when we open a time pit, the history from three hundred years ago will be replayed. The macroscopic outcome won't change before we travel back, but things on a microscopic level will start to randomize. Just like those ten thousand Night Nuwa's people, who lives and who dies became uncertain... In the original history, Xu Xia's ancestors were fortunate survivors among them, but as history played out once again, with the energy fission being uncertain, his ancestors died, and thus, he was erased by the Time Law!" Rat said.
As Rat's words fell, segments of brutal slaughter were reenacted in the sky. The gods from three hundred years ago wielded absolute Divine Power, exterminating the Night Nuwa lineage.
Meanwhile, the Martial Heroes among the Night Nuwa lineage were also countering. Among them were bright and dazzling figures comparable to divine beings. Their fates might not change due to the uncertainty of energy fission, but within the Night Nuwa lineage, there were countless others. These individuals played roles akin to moths and ants in this conflict—a moth or ant among them could very well be an ancestor of a compatriot in our homeland. Their survival wasn't born of skill, but merely luck...
If such a catastrophe were to occur again, they would not be favored by the heavens again.
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be total chaos? Everything in the heavens is being genuinely replayed, and every microscopic change would have a massive butterfly effect on us three hundred years later..." Wu Hen said.
"It's not that, the time pit is only in the region of Infinite City. We who attempt to travel back in time to change the future will endure the sanction of the Time Law, and our Nuwa God End's time travel ability has always been restricted."
"I understand. Now there is a regional Temporal Vortex in Infinite City. That's why we time travelers are becoming entangled in temporal causality, unaffected by others outside of Infinite City." Wu Hen nodded.
Those who step into the Temporal Vortex will be affected by it. Small changes occurring three hundred years ago won't spread the butterfly effect beyond Infinite City, nor will they affect anyone outside of Infinite City...
"So, we've already suffered significant losses before we've even started?"
Wu Hen watched as the Space-Time Thunder continued to strike down, watching one elite after another, one top-tier human, being erased, feeling a chill run down his spine!
