Outside Of Time

Chapter 1324 - 1324 The Creditor Awakens

The Dreamflow Region was one of the five regions at the southeastern edge of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race.

This region was peculiar, sometimes the landscapes were pristine, while at other times, it was filled with impurities, with dark mountains and polluted waters.

The reason behind this lay with the strange clouds that flowed through the regions.

The clouds here weren’t singular entities but rather an unending mass, resembling the sky itself or vast rivers coursing through the sky.

When the clouds were white, the land beneath them flourished with vitality, but when they turned black, demons and monsters emerged, and anomalous substances assailed everything within the region.

This scene was unique to this region, a natural phenomenon and a manifestation of its climate.

The natives called it the dream cloud.

At that moment, as the white clouds flowed in the sky of the Dreamflow Region, a special magic boat flew past.

The appearance of this boat exceeded common expectations. It wasn’t in the shape of a boat but a human figure.

It was an old woman in a black robe, with numerous tentacles spreading out, swaying and moving about. Her tall figure appeared indistinctly in the clouds and mist.

If mortals saw this, they would definitely think that a god was patrolling the sky.

And above the god-like old woman’s head, two people sat cross-legged.

“Little Qing, how is this region? Let me tell you, there’s a legend here.”

“Legend has it that some years ago, a divine bull was passing by this place and slept here. It had a sweet dream, and when it woke up, it sneezed and spat out the sweet dream, forming countless fog that transformed into clouds.”

“From then on, dream clouds appeared in this large region.”

The person who spoke was a youth with an ordinary appearance. Only his eyes were exceptionally bright, and deep like a vortex that could devour everything.

His hair was messy, and his overall appearance was not remarkable, but the bright red robe he wore made him sitting there quite dazzling and eye-catching.

It was as though anyone would be attracted by it immediately.

After all, not only was his robe red, but so were his shoes and pants, causing his entire person to look red.

This red person had a very smug expression and was speaking proudly to another youth beside him.

The youth beside him was the opposite of his appearance. His clothes were just ordinary blue clothes, simple and elegant.

However, with his peerlessly handsome face, everything in the world seemed to be just a foil to him. They didn’t dare and couldn’t fight for the slightest bit of brilliance.

At that moment, this peerless person opened his eyes and looked at the green mountains and rivers below.

“Eldest Senior Brother, back then, when you were in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, you made up this legend and spread it to the outside world, right?”

His voice was clear and pleasant to the ears.

These two people were naturally Erniu and Xu Qing, who had left the Divine Mountain and were headed toward the human race’s territory.

Upon hearing Xu Qing’s words, the captain chuckled. He then raised his head and looked at the distant horizon, stretching his back.

“That’s right. What I want to say is a Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. That is… the truth of history needs to be modified!”

The captain’s expression became arrogant again.

“For example, how will history record our Flame Mystic’s trip this time and how will it record the peerless contributions we made for the human race in a few years!”

“I’ve thought about it. This is how history should be recorded.”

The captain’s eyes lit up.

“In the year 2939 of the Mystic War Calendar, the peerless heroes of the human race, Chen Erniu and Xu Qing, swept through the heaven’s chosens of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven and seized the title of Grand Mystic Heaven. Their names spread far and wide.”

“At the supreme ceremony of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, the three magistrates issued a decree for the subsidiary races to retreat. Henceforth, for a thousand years, they won’t invade the human race’s territory. They also made a decisive statement on the ownership of the Black Heaven Race!”

“The human race is fortunate to have these two peerless people. It’s a nourishment of the fortune of the ancient humans and a powerful proof that the fortune of the Wanggu is still with the human race.”

ƈοm

The captain said boldly.

Xu Qing had a strange expression and didn’t speak. Although the captain’s words were exaggerated, the truth wasn’t much different.

Although the two of them had left the ceremony in advance, after defeating Flame Mystic, as the Grand Mystic Heaven, he made his request to the three magistrates.

As a reward for becoming the Grand Mystic Heaven, he could make a request to the magistrates.

Xu Qing’s motive for coming to the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race was also this.

Hence, under the decree of the three magistrates of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven, the affiliated races that were fighting against the human race retreated. Also, in the battle in the Black Heaven Race’s region, the Flame Moon’s side no longer participated.

Xu Qing was also a little surprised by the smoothness of this matter. After all, this was a war and not child’s play.

He had even prepared other plans for this.

“Eldest Senior Brother, I keep feeling that Flame Moon’s withdrawal of troops was something they would have done. Our appearance only gave them a legitimate reason to end it faster.”

Xu Qing looked at the captain.

The captain waved his hand.

“Why are you thinking so much? Regardless of whether there was a reason or not, it’s fine as long as the glory belongs to us.”

Xu Qing smiled. He felt that what the captain said made sense. Since he couldn’t find the reason, rather than thinking too much, it was better to put it aside. As long as the outcome was good, it was good.

At the thought of this, Xu Qing lowered his head and looked at the black shadow that was reflected by the light.

The sunlight seeped through the clouds and scattered down mottled behind him, reflecting the shadow in front of him. Although it was a little blurry, Xu Qing could still clearly sense the careful fluctuations of emotions transmitted from it.

It was explaining, as though it didn’t want its master to worry too much, so it had been pretending to be dead.

Little Shadow woke up five days ago and pretended to be dead for about fifteen minutes before Xu Qing discovered it.

Xu Qing originally thought that the other party was really dead.

After all, in the Mountains and Seas Region, in order to take out the Jiuli, the shadow had withstood the might of extermination. In the end, even its will dissipated. It seemed to be in a deep sleep and also seemed to be dead.

‘Its fate is quite tough.’

Xu Qing mumbled inwardly. He was still very happy about the recovery of the shadow. Hence, a smile appeared on his face.

However, the Diamond Sect’s ancestor was unhappy, while the shadow was both happy and worried.

It was happy that it was alive, but it was worried that there would be more dangerous things in the future…

However, it didn’t dare to show it. It could only carefully put on a happy expression. After that, it cautiously emitted another fluctuation of emotions.

“Master… promise… Crimson Goddess’…flesh?”

Xu Qing’s smile froze.

Little Shadow shuddered.

While Xu Qing and the captain were rushing toward the human race’s territory, the news of Xu Qing becoming a Grand Mystic Heaven spread through the entire Wanggu at an even faster speed.

The current Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race was incomparably eye-catching because the three gods had advanced to flawlessness. After all, this concerned the changes in the future of Wanggu.

Hence, every move of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race was naturally paid attention.

At this moment, the Grand Mystic Heaven that was chosen would naturally be paid attention to.

Moreover, this time’s Grand Mystic Heaven was actually a human. Regardless of whether this was a coincidence or not, it caused people to fall into deep thought.

The most important thing was that in the eyes of the various experts, they could instantly tell that this human was actually someone who coveted the flesh and blood of the fragmented- face. This caused an incomparably great commotion.

In an instant, the powerful races from all over the Wanggu began to collect information about Xu Qing and Chen Erniu. Their names were also deeply remembered by countless experts.

It was the same for the mortal race.

Before Xu Qing and Erniu returned, their deeds had spread like a storm in the human race’s Grand Imperial Capital Region. All the heavenly kings, heavenly marquises, and ministers were extremely shocked.

The princes were even more shaken.

“Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race… Grand Mystic Heaven!”

“The first human Grand Mystic Heaven in the history of the Flame Moon!”

“This… this is too unbelievable!”

“In the battle between Xu Qing and the number one heaven’s chosen of Flame Moon, if it wasn’t for the magistrate, the number one heaven’s chosen would definitely have been killed!”

“Lord Xu made a request to Flame Moon to retreat and the Black Heaven Race will belong to the human race!”

“Peerless contribution!!”

Most of them knew Xu Qing and were unfamiliar with Erniu. From the news, it was obvious that the person named Erniu wasn’t the main character. Hence, most of their attention was on Xu Qing.

Shock and disbelief rose rapidly in the mortal race’s territory.

It was the same in the Imperial Academy.

The Variant Immortal School had risen to prominence to begin with. Now, with Xu Qing’s huge reputation, they also enjoyed further benefits. They rose to a new peak, and all the students of the Variant Immortal School were excited.

The ones who were even more excited than them were the Sword Holders from Fenghai County who had followed Xu Qing to the Imperial City.

The glow formed by Xu Qing’s glory illuminated the surroundings and also shone resplendently on their bodies, causing the oppression they had felt during the days Xu Qing was missing to be swept away.

That feeling of glory was extremely intense for every cultivator of Fenghai County.

This was especially so for Ning Yan who was beside himself in excitement. He knew too well what Xu Qing’s contribution meant to him.

Currently, among the 12 incense sticks outside the palace, although his incense stick wasn’t the one that burned the fastest, it was still at the bottom. Fortunately, because of the war, the crown prince was to be chosen after the war.

Hence, at that moment, he was extremely looking forward to Xu Qing’s return.

As for Kong Xianglong, after he found out about Xu Qing’s deeds, he laughed loudly. He was happy for Xu Qing and also for Fenghai County.

He knew that he couldn’t catch up to Xu Qing but he had his own path.

During the days when Xu Qing left, the Sword Holding Palace Master of Fenghai County, Li Yunshan, who had come to the Imperial City with him, did his best to cultivate him. Clearly, all the old people in Fenghai County hoped that the descendant of the old Palace Master would take over the position of the Sword Holding Palace Master.

Although Wu Jianwu was also excited, he still felt a little envious. Nevertheless, to appear similar to others, he specially composed a poem.

‘In the beginning, a verdant life did unfold,

Throughout the ages, who was favored,

Mystic Heaven should possess included me in its fold,

Alas! Stolen away by treacherous thieves.”

This poem gained some popularity.

Among everyone in Fenghai County, there was an extremely special woman to Xu Qing. She was sitting in a pavilion with a jade slip in her slender jade-like hand as she chuckled.

The woman exuded an air of nobility, her features delicate like fine porcelain. Her skin was flawlessly fair, her eyebrows reminiscent of distant mountains, her eyes like autumn waters. With a high-bridged nose and rosy lips, her teeth gleamed white.

Her figure was graceful like a willow swaying in the wind. Her every move was filled with gentleness and elegance.

“Kid, you’ve grown up.”

The woman blinked her beautiful eyes and lifted a piece of green cloud cake in front of her.

At that moment, Xu Qing and the captain had already departed the borders of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race and stepped into Liaoxuan County.

A strong smell of blood, accompanied by anomalous substances, permeated the world of this county.
