Volume 4: The Other Shore Chapter 965: Epoch
The cry of "the sword comes" caused the divine will in Gu Xiaoxing's palm to surge, as if something was about to be born from it!
Just at this moment, an ear-piercing clanging sound seemed to be heard between heaven and earth, and the will of the gods suddenly condensed into a golden wooden sword!
Looking at the wooden sword in his palm, Gu Xiaoxing's gloomy expression eased a little, but he still couldn't smile. He just said softly: "Little demon spirit, long time no see!"
Upon hearing this, the Will Demon Sword began to tremble and clang, circling around Gu Xiaoxing twice before stopping in front of him, as if expressing its excitement.
At the time of Huang Shengmie, the Will Demon Sword had been shattered, but Gu Xiaoxing used divine means to condense it again and reshape the sword body.
But later, as Gu Xiaoxing's divine will was stripped away and he lost his divine means, the Demon Spirit Sword could no longer be maintained and, along with Gu Xiaoxing's body, dissipated into nothingness.
Later, Gu Xiaoxing was able to use his soul to take over the body of the outsider and reshape his strange body, but the Demon Spirit Sword of Will could only go away!
Fortunately, Gu Xiaoxing had used divine means to reshape the sword body of the Demon Spirit Sword, so that he could revive the Demon Spirit Sword after regaining the will of the gods!
Because the will of the gods also has memories, and it possesses all the roots of the universe, it can completely continue the cause and effect of shaping the sword body for the Will Demon Sword!
This is a peculiarity that belongs only to the gods!
And this time the resurrection is not like before, simply using divine means to reshape the sword body, but to let this divine will become the essence of the Will Demon Sword!
Because the Demon Spirit Sword itself is transformed by will, it can do this very well!
The demon spirit that was once formed by an indomitable will has now been completely transformed into the will of the gods. This can be considered a sublimation and qualitative change!
"At this point, you and I each hold half of the divine destiny!"
As soon as Gu Xiaoxing finished speaking, he immediately raised his hand and grabbed the hilt of the sword. His eyes became sharp, and with the Demon Spirit Sword of Reborn Will in his hand, he suddenly slashed downwards!
This sword split the chaos and opened up time and space!
But in that time and space, there seemed to be an invisible chasm that blocked everything, including the sword light!
Seeing this scene, Gu Xiaoxing couldn't help but sigh. This sword, which was powerful enough to easily kill a cultivator in the Great Free and Easy Realm, couldn't even shake that chasm in the slightest!
"It seems that I can't go back for the time being!"
In order to stop Yaotian's final resort, and also to avoid any accidents, Gu Xiaoxing eventually trapped himself in this future time!
In fact, he had thought of this when he decided to use the Cang Hai Sang Tian technique, but since he had done it, he had no regrets.
Retracting the Will Demon Sword and his gaze, Gu Xiaoxing began to carefully look at this new era for the first time!
This new era not only belongs to Huang Fuchen, but also to the universe and the entire river of time and space!
However, with Gu Xiaoxing's current eyesight, he can only see the situation in the desert dust, and cannot see through the boundary wall of the desert to the sixth desert next door!
After all, this is still the future, billions of years later, and it is ultimately different from the present!
Moreover, time is not fixed. Just because Gu Xiaoxing sees something happening billions of years later does not mean that it will definitely happen!
Everything in time can be changed!
After a cultivator enters the Great Free and Easy Realm, he has transcended time and can easily see through the past and the future, and naturally can also easily change things.
It’s just that everything has its limits!
Just like as cultivators in the same Great Free and Easy Realm, it is very difficult to see through each other’s past and future!
Gu Xiaoxing's gaze swept across everything. Having reached the sixth step of the free and easy realm, he could barely take in the entire Huang Fuchen!
After the tide, everything that was originally there has been destroyed, leaving only chaos in the wasteland dust, surging against each other in the avenue of time and space, as if alternating and changing endlessly!
Gu Xiaoxing could also clearly feel that compared to before, the desolate dust that had experienced the tide seemed to be more vast!
But in a flash, Gu Xiaoxing figured out everything. The long river of time and space was flowing, and the great tide of origin every year undoubtedly accelerated the extension of the long river!
And this is only the second era of Huang Fuchen. As the generations pass and the eras change, one day, Huang Fuchen will reach its limit!
By then, the Eighth Desolate World in the Universe will come into being!
But this is still too far away for Gu Xiaoxing. Such a long time is not something he can glimpse now!
The only thing Gu Xiaoxing wants to do now is to go back, back to the previous era, back to the "present time"!
For the "present time" of the previous era, the tide of the catastrophe of origin will come in billions of years, and Gu Xiaoxing must also go back within these billions of years!
Otherwise, when the catastrophe comes, all living beings in the wasteland will be wiped out, including all traces of their existence!
This is what is called...real death!
By then, even if Gu Xiaoxing successfully returned to the previous era, he would only see an era of nothingness and death.
Because "present time" will not stop, when the tide comes, it has already begun to enter a new era!
The destroyed old era is equivalent to death, and Gu Xiaoxing will no longer be able to find any trace of Mo Xuyou, Lu Linger, Fang Qingyun and others in it!
Gu Xiaoxing has been practicing on the path of cultivation all the way until now, and he has already deeply understood a truth.
The dead cannot be resurrected. This is not just a saying. This simple and easy-to-understand sentence contains infinite truth!
Gu Xiaoxing didn’t know whether it was possible for living beings other than gods to be resurrected after true death. Maybe there was, but there was also a high probability that there wasn’t!
Because even resurrecting Xu Qianxing, who was not really dead, was extremely difficult, Gu Xiaoxing couldn't imagine how difficult it would be to resurrect a person who was really dead.
He didn't even have a clue!
Sometimes Gu Xiaoxing would think, if life was really like in picture books, where one could talk about life and death easily, or even possess magical powers like resurrection, how wonderful it would be!
But in reality, the word "death" is often much heavier than we imagine!
Therefore, Gu Xiaoxing never wanted to try it. He had to rush back before the origin tidal catastrophe came to the "present time"!
If he wants to go back, Gu Xiaoxing must reverse the catastrophe of origin and make the tide reappear so that he can cross the tide. This is the only way for him to return to the previous era!
But the river of time and space has a long history, and the tide comes from the first wasteland in the universe, going through endless times, sweeping away everything, and finally coming to the seventh wasteland. The size of this wasteland is by no means comparable to that of a small star!
Even though Gu Xiaoxing possesses the origin of eternal life, which is infinite in itself, he cannot withstand the tides at his current level!
It's like a dam made of mud, how can it withstand the impact of billions of feet high waves?
Even if Gu Xiaoxing has the ability to build this dam billions of feet high, mud is mud and it will collapse if it is hit!
However, even though he knew this was the case, Gu Xiaoxing still made many attempts, using various methods, but the results were not much different from what he expected.
Even this invisible chasm that stretches across time and space and blocks the era is more difficult to cross than Gu Xiaoxing had imagined!
