429: An immortal being

A massive vortex appeared on the surface of the sea.

The myriad spirit tide was forcibly sucked away.

And on the other side of that vortex.

Was—

"Calamity Chaos!"

Vivian stopped in her tracks, her face filled with confusion, bewilderment, and even a hint of annoyance.

The Earth Vein Qi is very important.

At least for the Zerg at present, it is extremely important.

Fortunately, there are other ways to obtain it, not just this one.

But Zhang Huai's leads directly to Calamity Chaos.

It gave Vivian a headache.

What is going on?

"Could it be that Ye Su and this person are both from Calamity Chaos?"

"Impossible. People from the cataclysm cannot practice the Ascension Technique; this is a fundamental law of the world."

"Then there is only one possibility: Ye Su and that expert seem to have mastered some method of walking within the cataclysm."

Suddenly.

Vivian looked at Lu Yiyi.

Realization dawned on her!

Damn!

You two juniors.

Played the entire Universe for a fool?

Boundary Reduction, Sacrifice—cataclysm.

Goodness.

You really have some nerve!

Vivian understood.

Many things can be guessed instantly once there is a hint.

Immediately.

Vivian sealed the rift to the Calamity Chaos.

Then she protected Lu Yiyi well.

She would wait for Lu Qing to react and then hand Lu Yiyi over to him.

"Vivian, you—"

Lu Qing was left completely bewildered by her actions.

"We have differences in local tactics, but in terms of overall strategy, we are aligned."

Vivian smiled.

The myriad spirit tide.

The Tiangong Clan wants it.

The Star Spirit Clan wants it.

Ye Su wants it too.

And she wants it too.

Then everyone can just compete for it.

Whoever wins it shows that their methods are more mature.

If one cannot win it, there's no need to fall out over it.

After all, once out of the Myriad Spirit Sea, everyone's strategic goals are the same, and we still need to cooperate.

"Have the Zerg turned hostile?"

Ye Su asked.

"No!"

Lu Yiyi replied.

"This Vivian, she's so composed!"

The two had already opened a private room and were chatting inside.

"In the entire Universe, the only ones that make me feel terrified are the Zerg and the Mechanical Race."

Ye Su said.

"From the beginning, with the incident in the North Star Sector, I felt that the Zerg were up to something behind the scenes."

"This time, setting their sights on the Earth Vein Qi, their plans must be huge!"

Zhang Huai had already told Ye Su about Vivian's goal.

The land of Earth Veins.

That is, the Origin Qi of the Universe's matter.

The Universe is composed of two concepts.

Five basic rules; these rules derive operational logic, give birth to Heaven's Will, and are manifestations of intangible power.

Earth Veins; that is, the Origin Qi of the Universe, representing the manifestation of everything 'tangible' in the Universe.

The combination of the intangible and the tangible.

This is the Universe.

And the Earth Vein Qi is an insulator in the entire cultivation system of the Universe.

No one can utilize it.

And since no one can utilize it, there are no means to capture it.

That Ascension Technique Vivian used just now—

This is using biological instinct to try to take a bite out of the 'tangible'.

If not for Zhang Huai's quick reaction.

I'm afraid she would have really bitten off a piece of Earth Vein Qi.

"Earth Vein Qi?"

Lu Yiyi was a bit puzzled.

Ye Su paused.

"Zhang Huai told me, I don't understand it either."

In fact, it was Ye Su who was unwilling to explain it to Lu Yiyi.

This involved matters regarding the main timeline from the Supreme Expert back then.

As mentioned from the beginning.

The main timeline.

It is a stable one, held by the Supreme Expert, preventing it from diverging.

Nor does it allow any life drifting in the 'past' to pass through the 'present' and head to the future.

Because there is only one line for the 'present'.

No matter how many pasts there are, or how many times the past has been changed.

It will not affect the present.

Hmm—(Zhang Huai is an exception)

This is why the main timeline is unshakable.

But now.

The Supreme Expert is gone.

'The present—'

No one is holding it anymore.

This means that some experts.

Will secretly split off some 'present' to open up a small path to the future.

And this small path.

Must pass through the 'present', so it needs something to support it.

What thing?

Earth Vein Qi!

Zhang Huai has reason to suspect that the Zerg are engaging in 'smuggling'!

'If I haven't guessed wrong.'

'The Zerg must have reached some agreement with some expert.'

'The Zerg help him smuggle into the future.'

'And he will give the timeline used for smuggling to the Zerg, allowing the Zerg to theoretically possess—a Zerg Universe!'

'And maintaining the main timeline is the responsibility of the Supreme Expert.'

'I—'

Zhang Huai was very conflicted.

Zhang Huai wanted to uphold justice, but this damn thing was not something he could do.

Then...

Should he shamelessly ask for a Sword Qi from the Sword Master?

But with this kind of thing, once there is a first, there will be a second.

Could he keep asking for one after another?

This timeline has already been abandoned!

However—

If he sits by and does nothing.

This timeline will eventually be riddled with holes from 'smuggling'.

At that time, the Universe will be incomplete.

The qualifications to ascend to Supreme Lord will be lost, let alone going further up.

Ye Su.

Will be trapped to death in this world.

Because.

No matter how big the pancake is, it cannot be bigger than the pan that bakes it!

"Zhang Huai, your thoughts are drifting."

In the Calamity Chaos, Ye Su clearly felt Zhang Huai's conflict.

"Indeed..."

Zhang Huai sighed.

Then he told Ye Su about his speculation.

"After the Supreme Expert left, this kind of thing is unavoidable, right?"

Ye Su said.

No wonder.

Once the Supreme Expert left.

The Universe began to turmoil.

All sorts of messy things appeared.

So it turns out that those suppressed immortal existences have started to stir.

"I have always had a question."

Ye Su said.

"You say, these immortal existences are already able to stand in the past and future, and they are already immortal and indestructible existences."

"Then why do they still do this?"

"What is the benefit of messing up the timeline?"

Ye Su didn't move.

They can't die anyway.

Isn't it good to maintain the main timeline and experience the rise and fall of civilizations within it?

Or become a king of a mountain.

Or stir up the great trends.

This Universe has a variety of ways to play.

Any kind of desire can be satisfied.

"In the past, no one would go to such trouble to mess up the timeline."

Zhang Huai looked at Ye Su and said.

"Then, in the main timeline, a terrifying existence was born!"

"He wanted to set an Order for all heavens."

"Those experts felt that someone was pressing down on their heads, so... they started to mess up the timeline."

Ye Su frowned.

"Is that terrifying existence trying to kill all these immortal and indestructible experts?"

"No, he just wanted to set an Order."

"What Order?"

"An Order where every life has the qualification to become an expert!"

Ye Su's heart trembled.

This is too damn awesome!

"So, some people opposed it, and thus stirred up the timeline, making it impossible to give birth to a Supreme Expert?"

Ye Su realized.

Zhang Huai smiled and said.

"Ye Su, congratulations, you have comprehended the great trend of the heavens!"

"You know, no matter how big the pancake is, it cannot be bigger than the pan that bakes it; as long as the timeline is incomplete and the world is incomplete, how can a Supreme Expert be born?"

Ye Su was silent for a while, then said.

"Actually—"

"Scallion pancakes can—"

"They are stacked!"

"And me;"

I can stack too!

Transcendence is stacking!
