NOVPUBThe world at this time resembled a prehistoric world, devoid of life and utterly unsuitable for the existence of any species.
Xu Zimei slowly exhaled a breath, knowing that this was the limit to which the World Pearl could transform.
The transformation of the pseudo-world was incomplete, and his ability to wield the power of the world was limited.
Even so, with just this pseudo-world, he had already gained a significant advantage over many others at the starting line. no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
When the True Fate Emergence in the Emperor Pulse Realm eventually happened and battle ensued, just by summoning this pseudo-world, he could imagine the look of despair on his opponents’ faces.
At this moment, his fourth Vein Gate was thoroughly breached, and under the push of Divine Vein Realm energy, his realm was continuously ascending.
Empty Vein first layer,
Empty Vein second layer,
...
Empty Vein ninth layer.
His realm climbed until it reached the pinnacle of the Empty Vein Realm and then stopped, and Xu Zimei took a deep breath.
He thought this transformation was about to end and was preparing to get up when something in his body suddenly quivered.
His heart suddenly began to beat rapidly, Xu Zimei’s mind blanked out, and his whole body stiffened in place.
Inside his body, the mysterious spherical artifact that had been motionless all this time started to spin.
This mysterious sphere was the greatest secret of Xu Zimei’s reincarnation, but Xu Zimei only knew that besides storing cultivation, it made tearing through space much easier.
He had no idea about its other functions, and since his reincarnation, the sphere had never shown any activity—until now, as it began to rotate for the first time.
Xu Zimei felt that his body was beyond his control as the mysterious sphere flew into the True Fate World he had just condensed.
He felt as if his consciousness had left his physical body, carried by the mysterious sphere into an unknown world.
When Xu Zimei’s consciousness became clear again, he found himself in complete darkness.
At one end of this darkness, there was a grand and tumultuous river flowing slowly.
The water shimmered, pulsating inexplicably, and though the river seemed to flow gently, Xu Zimei felt as though each ripple had the power to change the world.
It was because his Cultivation Technique, the "Sole Great Freedom Jue," focused on the past, present, and future.
Thus, when he saw this river, a sense of familiarity washed over him.
"River of Time," Xu Zimei’s voice quivered as he murmured to himself.
The River of Time, also known as the River of Fate, is one of the cores of a world.
From the moment everyone is born, their lives, destinies, and all their experiences are branded and recorded in the River of Fate.
Legend has it that only by unlocking all twelve Vein Gates and evolving beyond oneself can one step out of the River of Fate and truly take control of one’s destiny.
In fact, not only humans, but everything from a blade of grass to the origin of a world is recorded in the River of Fate.
All things under heaven cannot escape the bonds of destiny.
Xu Zimei looked at the river before him, his body trembling slightly, as what he once yearned for in his dreams was now right before his eyes.
Yet now he was here merely as a wisp of consciousness, and not at all under his own control.
The mysterious sphere carried Xu Zimei’s consciousness against the current of the River of Time, moving towards the very end of time itself.
During this journey, Xu Zimei’s view was enshrouded by a white mist, making it nearly impossible for him to see the outside, and his consciousness began to grow muddled.
Xu Zimei fell into a deep sleep; he didn’t know how much time had passed—it could have been an instant, or it could have been eons.
When the mysterious sphere finally stopped, he slowly awakened.
...…
The scene that unfolded before his eyes completely shocked his spirit.
He found himself beneath a starry sky, where countless stars twinkled with bright radiance, illuminating the heavens.
A galaxy stretched across from the nine heavens, enveloping the entire starry sky. Within that galaxy, innumerable nebulae flowed like thick liquid, endlessly streaming on for miles.
At one end of the starry sky, the River of Time surged ceaselessly, with the history of the past unfolding before Xu Zimei’s eyes like a movie.
From the day the River of Time came into existence, from the moment this world began, all of history’s records were now being observed by Xu Zimei as they evolved within the River of Time.
...…
Great trends of the world ebb and flow; what has been long divided must come together, and what has been long united must break apart.
Just as with these myriad worlds, there comes a day when they move from birth to destruction.
All things in the world are relative. On a small scale, a life moves from birth to death, and at the same time, a new life is born—this is the propagation of a species.
Death and life are inherently relative.
On a larger scale, a world moves from its beginning to destruction, only to have a new world carved out again—this is the cycle of all things in the cosmos.
Simply put, whether small like humanity or large like a world, everything has a day when it moves from birth to destruction.
A world moves from birth to destruction and then, within that destruction, forges a new world anew.
Thereafter, this reborn world once again moves toward destruction, and then again, within that destruction, a new world is carved out.
In this endless cycle, the history of a world unfolds.
Not a single world has truly remained from the beginning of the universe until now; they all go through cycles of birth and destruction.
We call each reborn world an "Epoch."
From the destruction of the last Epoch to the beginning of this new reborn Epoch, the River of Fate also took shape at that moment, recording the destinies of all things in the world.
Each Epoch has its own River of Fate, and when an Epoch is destroyed, its River of Fate is destroyed along with it.
Therefore, the River of Fate before Xu Zimei’s eyes contains everything that started from the beginning of this reborn Epoch.
This reborn Epoch’s certain place we call it Yuan Central Continent.
The wheels of history roll onward slowly, and Yuan Central Continent opens its first chapter.
We call this the Mythical Era.
For the people of Yuan Central Continent now, the Mythical Era is too distant. Aside from exploring ancient ruins, humanity can no longer find any traces of that era.
If it were not for the existence of these ancient ruins from the Mythical Era, many would even doubt whether it ever existed.
Following the Mythical Era, Yuan Central Continent turned the page to its second chapter.
We call this the Wild Desolation Era.
After that, a man named True Martial stood at the pinnacle of the firmament, bearing Destiny.
He opened the third chapter for Yuan Central Continent, the Era of Emperors.
Starting with the Mythical Era, those secrets long forgotten in time began to unravel one by one before Xu Zimei’s eyes as they evolved within the River of Time.
It wasn’t just Yuan Central Continent; Yuan Central Continent was merely a part of this Epoch.
About the world outside Yuan Central Continent, all origins and secrets also unfolded before Xu Zimei, revealing an entirely majestic new world.
