305: Secret Sweep

Chaos.

Currently, Ye Su's mind was in a state of complete chaos.

He had absolutely no idea what kind of development this was.

White Head Great Profound Scripture.

cataclysm.

And within the Calamity Chaos, someone actually knew the secret code of a certain Great Xia joke.

Then there was that sentry who exuded the aura of a People's Soldier—yet this was a world that resembled an ancient era.

Just what...

...was going on?

"Although this code isn't orthodox, it proves that you are my—"

The man stopped mid-sentence.

He suddenly halted.

His entire being froze in place, as if a frame had been paused.

"Are what?"

Ye Su spoke up.

But he was shocked to discover that he couldn't move either.

In his peripheral vision,

everything had come to a standstill.

It was as if Time itself had been paused.

"Oh dear, oh dear... I'm exhausted. Running back and forth through Time is really tiring."

A childish, milky voice rang out.

Then,

a pair of small hands pried open the space above and clumsily crawled out.

The child looked to be about seven or eight years old, with a pair of large, pitch-black eyes; after coming out, he stared intently at Ye Su.

"Eh? You—"

"Oh, it's a chaotic timeline."

"Wait a moment, let me ask my cheap old man."

The child closed his eyes for a moment and then reopened them, but his face now carried a hint of worry.

"Oh crap, I spoke too fast. Your memories won't be cleared away as this world collapses."

"Oh..."

"Then, let's make a deal. You must absolutely never say you've seen me."

"Otherwise, the cataclysm will follow the traces and come to catch me."

"I'll give you some compensation then. Hmm... this world is yours. Anyway, this kind of past timeline is already very chaotic; a little more chaos won't matter."

"Remember, you must never say you've seen me, okay?"

"Bye-bye..."

After saying that,

the child gave a hop.

His entire body vanished into space.

And Time began to flow once more.

However, the scene before his eyes began to change drastically.

Everything, every single thing, began to disappear.

This city, that sentry who stood like a green pine, that man with the distinct aura...

...were all vanishing.

In almost the blink of an eye,

the city vanished, as if it had never existed.

And in front of Ye Su, a token appeared.

"Eh?"

Lu Yiyi was incredibly curious.

"You saw through this world?"

"What do you mean by 'saw through this world'?"

Ye Su had countless question marks in his heart.

But he didn't know where to start.

"These worlds are all projections of a certain period of Time," Lu Yiyi said.

"But only people from the past can see through the truth of the world, and then..."

She took the token floating in front of Ye Su.

"...and then obtain world certification."

"The past? People from the past?"

"Oh, it's just a metaphor."

Lu Yiyi smiled.

"It should be that your Calamity Technique originates from this world, and then it was recognized by the past timeline, so you were considered a person from the past."

"As expected, bringing you along brings great Opportunity."

"Hehe!"

The reason Lu Yiyi insisted on bringing Ye Su along was precisely because he possessed a Calamity Technique.

However,

only Ye Su, who knew the truth, understood that seeing through this world wasn't because of the Calamity Technique.

It was because...

...the other party was also from Great Xia!

My god, this was simply absurd to the extreme.

Could it be that...

...Great Xia had also experienced this kind of anomaly at some point?

And it wasn't ancient Times, but modern Times; otherwise, that code wouldn't have matched.

Also,

what did that child mean when he said

the past timeline was a mess?

Could it be that he saw through my—

Ye Su looked behind him out of the corner of his eye.

Only with the enhancement of the Calamity Technique could he see a vast number of timelines behind him.

These timelines were converging with himself as the core.

'Within the Calamity Chaos, there are secrets hidden that I cannot even imagine!'

In the end, Ye Su could only come to this conclusion.

"Alright, stop overthinking it."

Lu Yiyi said.

"The memories of seeing through it cannot be remembered."

"After all, on the scale of Time, that moment was paused, so we have no impression of it at all."

"Don't dwell on it. With this token, this world..."

The smile on Lu Yiyi's face hadn't faded for a moment.

As for bringing Ye Su to the cataclysm world, she felt it was the greatest move of her life!

"Let's go, Time to mine!"

She grabbed Ye Su and flew off directly.

In mid-air,

Ye Su looked at this desolate world and gradually buried all his questions deep in his heart.

He would get the answers eventually.

Lu Yiyi didn't know that Ye Su's heart was in turmoil at this moment.

She was doing her best to search for destiny stones.

With the world token,

it seemed much easier to find them.

Soon,

she stopped at a high ground.

Using her ability, she began to dig.

After a short while,

two crystals were unearthed.

She tossed one to Ye Su with a flick of her hand.

"Here."

Ye Su caught it.

Instantly,

the destiny stone melted, turning into pure heavenly intent stored within the heavenly timing container.

"This is the most precious specialty of this world."

Lu Yiyi said.

"Don't just stand there, let's move. These things don't exist in veins; they only exist scattered about."

"The pile I found before is just up ahead."

After that,

it was a busy period of digging.

Ye Su also gradually got into the rhythm.

Lu Yiyi wasn't being stingy this Time.

For the scattered ones, she basically split them evenly with Ye Su, and for those pointed out by her own information, she gave a third to Ye Su.

After half a day,

Ye Su had actually managed to accumulate nearly 20 stones.

After converting them into pure heavenly intent, the amount in the heavenly timing container reached 100 drops.

Good heavens.

This was the amount a Light Array would obtain from the heavens when going from Ascension Level Two to Ascension Three.

In other words,

if Ye Su didn't go through the Light Array and used the heavenly intent directly to ascend,

these 100 drops of heavenly intent would be enough for Ye Su to achieve Ascension Level Two Transcendence.

"Simply... ridiculously wealthy!"

Ye Su was stunned.

The complete Ascension Level Two Transcendence was finished just like that.

It was truly hard to imagine.

"You're not looking anymore?"

Seeing that Lu Yiyi had stopped moving, Ye Su asked.

"A Grid World has already been picked clean by us."

Lu Yiyi replied.

"Now, get ready to go to the next Grid World."

"How do we get there?"

The two of them had already jumped ship halfway, after all.

"We'll be teleported, but... it requires a slaughter."

Saying that, Lu Yiyi took out her weapon.

The Starlight Greatsword!

And just as she finished speaking,

a special kind of life began to crawl out from beneath the earth.

"We call them Bizarre Creatures."

Lu Yiyi explained.

"Be careful, their vitality is extremely strong."

"You must chop off their heads for them to die, and they are very cunning."

Roar! Roar! Roar!!

Waves of angry roars rang out.

A long saber appeared in Ye Su's hand.

Bizarre Creatures...

The aura of these creatures was completely different from the 'Ghost' discovered in the city earlier.

They weren't the same category of thing at all.

The core of the 'Ghost' in the city seemed to be some kind of special power, like that of the Calamity Mercenary Group.

But these Bizarre Creatures...

...were the reverse attribute of the Calamity Mercenary Group's power.

Ordinary people couldn't see it.

But Ye Su, who had Calamity Power in him, could.
