Outside of Time - Chapter 1173

[Chapter 1151: Want to See the Truth]

Now, his body and soul are no longer himself.

Only consciousness descended upon the young master of Aurora at this time, replacing everything of the other party and performing an ending that seemed impossible to be changed.

History cannot be changed.

These were the words that the little man transformed from Aurora’s remaining consciousness said to Xu Qing at that time.

He once told Xu Qing that after entering the fourth world, he only needed to watch, listen and feel according to the development of history.

But Xu Qing doesn’t think so.

Because of this, it doesn’t mean much to him or other stars that come here.

If we simply look and feel, then whether it is fate or opportunity, the past may not necessarily be the best, and the progress of the times often brings forth new things.

So… in Xu Qing’s judgment, the greatest opportunity to enter this fourth world must be related to the benefits hidden during this period of time.

“So, what is it?”

Xu Qing murmured in his heart, allowing the thunder to fall on him, and began his observation and perception.

And just like that, time passes.

Five days passed.

During these five days, Zhong Chi came every day and accompanied Yu on the cliff.

As a study partner, this was his mission, at least on the surface.

And secretly, while the young master was being punished, he actually had a rare freedom and could do some…secret things that belonged to him alone.

So Zhong Chi didn’t care about the young master being hung there as punishment.

He even wished it could be longer.

Xu Qing occasionally glanced away casually, knowing everything very well.

But there is no need to expose it, just as he doesn’t want others to know his identity. Everyone who comes to this fourth world has his or her own things to do.

As for himself, during the days when he was punished on the Thunder Cliff, he explored this world more and more through the lightning and thunder that fell on his body.

“The spiritual energy, thunder, and even the breath of heaven and earth here… all contain a faint sense of time.”

“There is a slight gap between it and the real world.”

“As for the real history, if one wants to change it, it is naturally extremely difficult, and there are restrictions from a higher constitution that will not allow history to be changed, thus forming a time-space storm that will affect the entire Fifth Star Ring.”

“But the period of time I was in is probably… not real history!”

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and guessed in his heart as the thunder bombarded him.

It’s not that this period of history didn’t really exist, but based on Xu Qing’s understanding of time and space, he felt that the past scenes shown in this fourth world were more like… a mirror image.

“This needs to be verified.”

While thinking, Xu Qing would occasionally wail a few times to make this performance consistent with the past.

In addition, Xu Qing was also thinking about another thing during these five days.

That is…are there other people who have entered this world like Li Mengtu, besides those stars?

And, the roles played by those who enter here.

“This is also the point I want to observe after leaving Xinglei Cliff.”

Xu Qing pondered.

He had no intention of becoming an obstacle to others, but in this fourth world, if he could know the roles played by others, it would undoubtedly give Xu Qing a huge advantage in his judgment of the world and his own situation.

“Knowing how they create themselves, it proves my guess even more.”

“If my guess is true, this world is just a mirror image…”

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, thoughts rising in his heart.

“Then, try to pry this piece of time, like stirring up waves in the Dead Sea, and observe the changes in time and space from the inside. This will allow me to gain a deeper understanding of the constitution of time and space.”

“Only in this way can one be called the master of time and space!”

“Also, I wonder if the Aurora Immortal Lord will come again in the next few days…”

Xu Qing raised his head and looked into the distance. When the Aurora Immortal Lord appeared before, Xu Qing had just arrived here and didn’t know much about this place yet. In order to prevent any accidents, he did not observe the Immortal Lord.

But now, through these days of exploration, he has gained a lot.

It’s a pity that as the sixth day passed, when there was only half a day left to the end of the punishment, although someone came, he was not the Immortal Lord.

The person who came was riding in the Nine-Phoenix Chariot, but his figure was obscured by the curtain and his details could not be seen clearly.

All one could see was the magnificent chariot shining brightly under the lightning, as if it could illuminate every corner of the entire fairy palace.

As the nine phoenixes pulled the cart, the sky and earth changed color as they cried. Each phoenix was like fire, as if it was about to burn the whole universe.

There are also countless gems inlaid on the chariot, which flicker as the phoenix chariot shakes slightly, like the brightest stars in the universe, which makes people unable to help but pay attention to them.

In addition, there were hundreds of guards surrounding the chariot, each of them wearing black armor, holding a spear, and exuding a terrifying aura.

They followed the imperial carriage in uniform steps.

The solemn expression on their bodies seemed to represent their determination to protect this supreme dignity and majesty.

Slowly flew into the Xinglei Cliff.

It stopped thirty feet in front of Xu Qing who was hanging in the air.

Afterwards, a jade hand stretched out from behind the colorful curtain inside the imperial carriage. The hand was as white as solidified fat, emitting a faint warm luster, and it paused slightly after it stretched out.

Then he gently lifted it outwards, drawing an elegant arc in the air and lifting the curtain.

An elegant figure and a beautiful face were revealed.

In the shining lightning, that beautiful face seemed to be coated with a thin layer of silver light, adding a bit of indescribable holiness and fantasy.

It makes everything around it pale in comparison.

Her eyes were deep and bright, her nose was straight with smooth lines, her lips were naturally pink, and the slightly upturned corners of her mouth should have outlined a gentle smile, but at this moment she held it back, and tried hard to show anger.

At this moment, as she walked out, behind that graceful figure, her hair cascaded down like a waterfall, black and shiny, brushing across her shoulders, dispelling some anger and adding a bit of tenderness and charm.

She took a few steps, walked in front of Xu Qing, and gently opened her red lips.

“Unfaithful man!”

Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him.

Through the host’s memory, he naturally recognized the other party’s identity at a glance.

This woman is none other than Zhou Linshan, the daughter of the Nine Shores Immortal Lord.

That is the person chosen by the Aurora Fairy Lord and the one he will marry in a month.

I have to say that the daughter of the Nine Shores Immortal Lord is perfect in every aspect.

She seemed to embody a kind of beauty that transcended the world, a kind of sacredness and purity that made people yearn for it but dare not touch it easily.

Especially when the breeze blows, her hair flutters gently, as if interweaving with her figure to form a breathtaking picture.

Even such a face and such a temperament make her look like a fairy walking out of an ancient painting, or a treasure bestowed by God to the world.

Even though his tone was filled with anger now, his voice was like the sound of nature.

But unfortunately, Xu Qing is not the Young Master of Aurora.

He looked at the woman in front of him calmly, then closed his eyes and ignored her.

“Unfeeling man!”

The woman’s eyes were filled with resentment as she shouted angrily. Then her gaze swept over the wound on Xu Qing’s body, and she looked as if she couldn’t help but feel heartache again.

So even though he was scolding, he still took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off Xu Qing’s body.

There seemed to be endless tenderness on that jade hand, as if it could soothe all the noise and restlessness in the world. At this moment, while wiping, she spoke.

“You were so eloquent and sweet-talking before, but now you are like this… I know you are reluctant to leave your Hundred Flowers Palace, so why did you tease me in the first place?”

“Your father has proposed marriage, and our wedding is scheduled for a month later. I know if you are willing to…”

The woman was speaking, and before she could finish her words, Xu Qing’s eyes suddenly opened, and his right hand, which was bound by lightning, was raised in an instant and grabbed the woman’s wrist.

The woman paused, did not struggle, but looked at Xu Qing.

“You have wiped it all clean, how can I express my regret to my father?”

After saying that, Xu Qing let go of his hand.

The woman snorted lightly and did not continue wiping.

“You are reluctant to leave your Hundred Flowers Palace, and you want to rely on your miserable body to soften the heart of the Aurora Immortal Lord?”

“I’m going to tear down your Hundred Flower Palace right now!”

Having said this, the woman turned around and walked back to the imperial carriage in anger. A maid opened the curtain for her, allowing her to walk directly into the carriage without stopping.

Afterwards, the imperial carriage turned around, and under the protection of the guards around it, it left the Xingdao Cliff and gradually went away.

Zhong Chi then looked up and spoke in a low voice.

“Young Master, why are you doing this…”

Xu Qing didn’t say anything and closed his eyes at this moment.

There was now a strange gleam in those eyes that no one could see.

The scene of the girl from Jiu’an appearing and leaving kept appearing in his mind.

There are several details in it.

One is the action of raising your hand to open the curtain when the other party walks out of the imperial carriage.

This was somewhat unreasonable, because in the memories that Xu Qing obtained, the other party’s identity and status, as well as the habits they had developed since childhood, made it impossible for them to lift the curtain by themselves.

Of course, there are reasons to explain this, such as being anxious.

But there is another detail, that is, when he suddenly grabbed his hand just now, the other party seemed normal, but in fact there was a deep-hidden instinctive rejection.

Although it was extremely slight, Xu Qing still noticed it slightly.

This is weird.

After all, the host and the other party have had physical contact.

But at the same time, this matter is not absolute, and there are reasons to explain it.

However, there are more details than just these two points.

After the woman had her arm grabbed by him, she felt repulsive but also became wary of the outside world.

This kind of vigilance is unreasonable considering the other party’s identity.

Any one of these three points, if viewed individually, is not a big problem and can be explained.

But when put together and presented in Xu Qing’s mind, it was different.

Especially… after adding a guess to these three details, Xu Qing found that all the unreasonable things became reasonable.

This guess is…

She is an outsider.

That is why there will be neglect of details, that is why there will be instinctive rejection, and that is why upon entering this fourth world, one will become alert to the surroundings in a certain moment of stress.

Finally, Xu Qing murmured in his heart.

“She is most likely not the real Zhou Linshan!”

“Which star is it? Among those stars, only one is female, but of course other possibilities cannot be ruled out.”

Xu Qing opened his eyes and looked into the distance.
