Outside Of Time

Chapter 1829: The Primordial Home Planet (1)Editor: Atlas Studios

This was clearly a ritual.

A ritual of unprecedented scale.

Using the left eye of the fragmented-face in the sky as the heaven and the right eye of Desolate in the land as the earth, it formed the heaven and earth foundation of the ceremony, piercing through the void and shattering time.

All of it converged upon Crown Prince Purple Green, focusing on the skull He held aloft.

Using the skull as a space-time anchor, He initiated a unique regression based on His own fate.

If time and space were likened to clear water, then the skull of Crown Prince Purple Green was a drop of thick black ink.

This ink dripped into the water.

Staining everything.

Dyeing the world, altering its hue.

The entire Sky Devouring Region turned dark.

As the ink spread, all traces of the Purple Green Kingdom began to vanish from the outside in, as if they had never existed.

The dust of time was wiped away, restoring the Sky Devouring to its original form.

Finally, even the Purple Green Kingdom disappeared amidst this upheaval.

Including Xu Qing and Crown Prince Purple Green within the imperial palace.

In the next instant, their presence and traces were erased from the present world.

They were isolated beyond the current era.

Stepping into antiquity.

...

The wind blew across heaven and earth.

Carrying the aura of antiquity, tinged with a faint hint of blood.

It swept over the shattered land, over the withered forests, and through the void like the brush of a celestial artisan, sketching Xu Qing as he would appear tens of thousands of years later.

His figure materialized.

The moment he appeared, Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed with wonder as he surveyed his surroundings, his heart stirring.

”The aura here... this is indeed the place I sought!”

Then he raised his head and looked toward the sky.

The firmament was grayer than he remembered.

It was filled with a dense, anomalous substances that had yet to fully dissipate, appearing in this era as haze.

This was still Wanggu, but no longer the Sky Devouring.

”The Holy Wave Large Region...”

The Holy Wave Large Region of antiquity.

At the same time, this was the true location of the Purple Green Kingdom in that era!

And war was raging!

In Xu Qing’s perception, this ancient Holy Wave Large Region was dotted with ancient cities now engulfed in the flames of war.

Cultivators from countless races were laying siege.

This was the moment in history when the Purple Green Kingdom fell.

Innumerable cultivators from myriad races had gathered from across the domains, sweeping through like a flood, destroying city after city of the Purple Green Kingdom and slaughtering its people who fought in its defense.

Driven and influenced by forces behind the scenes, they sought to utterly annihilate the Purple Green Kingdom!

To crush the rising momentum of the human race!

Xu Qing fell silent as he observed this.

At this moment, a calm voice echoed in his mind.

”I didn’t lie to you, did I? That Crown Prince Purple Green truly activated a fate-based method to return to antiquity!”

”This is the specific point in time and space he regressed to through his own fate!”

As the voice spoke, a crimson glow flashed across Xu Qing’s body. In the next instant, a mist of blood seeped out, coalescing into a... blood-red mask!

The mask materialized and immediately gazed into the distance, its eyes flickering with ghostly flames.

Then it turned back to Xu Qing.

”Now, I need you to actively sever the karmic bond of our completed transaction.”

Xu Qing’s expression remained impassive as his deep eyes swept over the mask.

Before his battle with Crown Prince Purple Green, he had studied the mysterious light of the Brilliant Heaven God Race at Mount Morning Glow, absorbing it continuously. Yet his cultivation had reached its limit, unable to break through.

As for the light itself, it could no longer be absorbed.

The remaining portion formed the core of its key.

Thus, Xu Qing began researching the key more deeply.

Through repeated exploration and study, he came to understand that this object was likely the key to opening the door to the Primordial Home Planet.

But a key alone was not enough—he still needed to find the door!

Xu Qing attempted to locate the door, searching both the lands of Brilliant Heaven and through the Heavenly Dao, but failed each time.

There was no trace of the door to the Primordial Home Planet.

No clues whatsoever.

From his past experiences, he knew that the Primordial Home Planet existed in a unique manner—such as in the Fourth Star Ring, where it resided within the memories of the gods.

The Primordial Home Planet of the Ninth Star Ring seemed even more peculiar in its existence.

It wasn’t until the third year before his decisive battle with Crown Prince Purple Green, while studying the key and reflecting on his memories, that Xu Qing finally discovered a clue.

That clue was Crown Prince Purple Green himself!

Crown Prince Purple Green was the self-salvation of the human race’s fortune and Wanggu’s own attempt at salvation.

And in truth, Wanggu had not existed for long compared to the entirety of Brilliant Heaven. In a sense, Wanggu was Brilliant Heaven.

Thus... Crown Prince Purple Green’s salvation must also encompass Brilliant Heaven.

And the predecessor of Brilliant Heaven was the Primordial Home Planet.

This was the only clue Xu Qing could find related to the Primordial Home Planet.

Crown Prince Purple Green was Brilliant Heaven’s salvation. By further deduction, there was a high probability he was also the Primordial Home Planet’s salvation!

If this were true, then Crown Prince Purple Green’s fate might very well be the door to the Primordial Home Planet.

However, not the current Crown Prince Purple Green, but the one from antiquity—before he sacrificed himself to the fragmented-face!

His fate!

Thus, what Xu Qing sought was a return to antiquity!

This regression could not be achieved through his own Space-Time Ordinance, as it could only take him into his own temporal stream.

What he needed was to enter the temporal stream of Crown Prince Purple Green’s fate!

But for such a specific requirement, Xu Qing was uncertain whether Crown Prince Purple Green would activate it during their battle.

And so, he thought of the wish mask!
