Hu Qi could clearly feel that the restrictive force hadn’t completely vanished. He still couldn’t remain in this world for long.
However, being able to get this far was enough for him.
At this thought, Hu Qi’s eyes suddenly turned a pure, silvery white. Without hesitation, he unleashed the Divine Technique, Celestial Destiny Core.
He hadn’t forgotten his purpose for coming here.
He wanted to use it to glimpse this world’s celestial secrets and find the Dao Rhyme hidden within.
In an instant, countless images flashed before his eyes like a zoetrope.
These images were the history of this world.
He saw a mass of blazing light expand in the void, forming this world.
It then gradually contracted, coalescing into a giant sun.
As time passed, twelve planets formed around the sun. Life emerged upon them, eventually giving rise to brilliant civilizations.
Although conflicts occasionally erupted between these civilizations, to the world’s overall function, these disputes were nothing more than insignificant ripples.
Unfortunately.
Aside from True Gods, no existence could escape the limits of its lifespan.
Even the sun, the center of this world, would one day face decay and death, despite its lifespan far exceeding that of other stars.
This sun was massive, consumed its power at an astonishing rate, and its fate had long been sealed.
But before it could die out naturally, a Mutation quietly occurred.
A black spot suddenly appeared on the sun’s surface. At first, it was just an insignificant patch, but it spread rapidly over time, eventually covering the entire sun.
Darkness eroded the sun’s light like a plague, until it was completely consumed.
The moment the sun died, its core burst forth with twelve dazzling rays of light, each flying toward one of the twelve planets.
In the end, some of these Sunstones were crafted into Mech Cores, while others were lost to parts unknown.
But regardless.
In the end, they would all be brought together.
...
A long moment later.
The silvery-white light in Hu Qi’s eyes gradually faded.
A look of surprise surfaced on his face.
’So that’s how it is.’
This world was trapped in a struggle of Reincarnation, constantly undergoing destruction and rebirth.
And the current timeline was the Middle Stage of the 34,521st cycle of Reincarnation.
In every previous cycle, black spots would appear on the sun, causing it to die out.
Then, the twelve Sunstones would be gathered to reignite the sun, beginning a new cycle of Reincarnation.
This time was no different.
Furthermore, the protagonist chosen by destiny for this cycle of Reincarnation was Zhao Yao.
Under normal circumstances.
Zhao Yao was supposed to collect the other four Sunstones on his journey to become stronger.
He would use the Siphon Trait of Sun’s Radiance.
This would allow him to forcibly control the other four Sunstones.
His power would have increased.
He would have destroyed the Eternal Night Council.
Finally, he would have gathered all twelve Sunstones, reignited the sun, and completed the mission of this cycle of Reincarnation.
Unfortunately, Hu Qi’s appearance caused Zhao Yao’s Celestial Mandate to end before it could even begin.
’Igniting the sun doesn’t bring hope; it brings destruction.
It’s the key that starts the next cycle of Reincarnation.
If it isn’t lit, perhaps they could continue to survive in the darkness...’
At this moment.
Hu Qi suddenly thought of the Eternal Night Council.
He recalled the information he had obtained from Celestial Magnet’s mind.
It made him realize that the true master of the Eternal Night Council wasn’t Celestial Magnet.
Celestial Magnet was merely a pawn.
’From this perspective, perhaps the true master knows this secret. That must be why they want to stop the Holy Cross Church from reigniting the sun.’
’How interesting. On the surface, everything the righteous Holy Cross Church does seems aimed at saving the world, but in reality, it will bring about its destruction...’
Hu Qi’s eyes narrowed.
He thought back to a particular image he had seen when using the Inference of Celestial Fate.
’If my speculation is correct...’
’...the Dao Rhyme I need to find is inside the sun.’
’No, to be more precise...’
’...it appears when the sun is reignited, begins to expand again, destroys everything, and recreates the world.’
’It’s the thing nurtured during that process.’
Now, if he wanted to obtain the Dao Rhyme,
the best way was to gather all twelve Sunstones.
He had to help this world complete its cycle of Reincarnation, returning the Destiny Trajectory, which had gone askew, to its original path.
The problem was, he had thrown the original Destiny Trajectory into complete chaos.
Restoring it completely...
...would require him to reverse time in this world.
In any ordinary world outside the Sea of Sumeru,
this would not be difficult for someone with Hu Qi’s power in the True God Realm.
But within the Bottomless Realm, a world where the Power of Rules was strict and formidable, such a feat was impossible.
Unless he had comprehended a Great Dao related to time.
Only then might there be a sliver of a chance.
Therefore, continuing to have Zhao Yao search for the Sunstones was no longer a viable option.
However, this wasn’t a problem for Hu Qi.
’If Zhao Yao can’t do it, I’ll just do it myself.’
With this in mind,
Hu Qi looked toward ’Bai Kong,’ the body his consciousness projection was temporarily inhabiting.
"Let’s begin!"
Hu Qi said.
The two were one and the same, their minds connected.
There was naturally no barrier to communication; the projection understood the main body’s intent.
Without any further preamble,
the consciousness projection of Hu Qi occupying Bai Kong’s body had a thought.
"Crimson!"
SWOOSH!
The Crimson panel instantly unfolded, lines of crimson text flowing out like water.
