Baby with Daoist Monarch System-Chapter 495 - 189: The Dao Heart Demon’s Schemes! Humanity’s Extinction?
But in this world, he read books day and night in the library of the Demigod Kindergarten, never discovering any trace of the era from two hundred years ago.
Previously, he hadn’t been puzzled by this.
According to records, two hundred years ago was the time of Spiritual Qi Recovery, when Crystal Beasts invaded, war erupted, and Blue Star fell into chaos.
At that time, countless records were destroyed and not preserved, but it shouldn’t be that not a single legend was left behind.
The current situation feels like a river has been artificially intercepted for a while.
If it weren’t for his Great Compassion Array, awakening the Flower of the Earth Veins, learning some things from ancient times, he wouldn’t know that there was another human cultivation civilization before them.
But the five thousand years of Huaxia history still provide no clues.
"What on earth is going on?"
After pondering for a moment, he still had no leads.
"Let’s put this matter aside for now. The most important thing is to escape from this bizarre space!"
Soon, Xu Ran shifted his focus back to escaping.
"Since Annihilation Seal, Instant Annihilation, Super Explosion Slash all don’t work, let’s try talismans!"
Recently, Xu Ran had just carved a large Teleportation Array connecting Blue Star and the Catastrophe-level Contamination Zone.
This grand endeavor deepened his understanding of Teleportation Arrays.
Perhaps, with a powerful Teleportation Array, he could break through this strange space.
Without further ado!
Xu Ran immediately sat cross-legged again.
In this pitch-black space where he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face, he closed his eyes, raised his hands, fingers transforming into pens, and started inscribing the array in the space.
When it came to inscribing arrays, Xu Ran was long familiar, as effortless as eating a meal.
Even in a place where he couldn’t see anything, he still easily inscribed it, even if he saw nothing.
At this moment.
In Xu Ran’s mind, mysterious runes filled with the aura of space appeared before him.
Under Xu Ran’s control, mysterious lines connected and intertwined, with the aura of space continuously expanding and merging.
Soon, a rough teleportation had already been mostly inscribed.
"Hmm, it seems the Power of Space in this area is relatively weak, allowing me to inscribe it so easily!"
As a result.
Just as he spoke.
The runes that were originally incredibly stable suddenly began to agitate chaotically, the once orderly runic lines now tangled into a ball, like a yarn ball without any order.
At this moment, Xu Ran knew that the method of inscribing the Teleportation Array was also ineffective.
But Xu Ran did not get discouraged, carefully contemplating.
A moment later, he came to a conclusion.
"The time rules here are actually chaotic."
Xu Ran already knew that the time here was not the same as the external world’s time rules.
Otherwise, it would not be possible that a Teleportation Array that could be inscribed casually outside would fail here.
Even though the method of inscribing the Teleportation Array failed.
For Xu Ran, it was a discovery of this space’s uniqueness, time.
Only by uncovering each eerie aspect could he find the weakness of this space and ultimately escape.
Xu Ran sat cross-legged, constantly recalling everything that had happened since entering.
"This mysterious space is extremely similar to Tathagata’s Golden Cymbal and Yellow Eyebrow King’s Human Species Bag!"
Xu Ran suddenly thought.
The scene of Yellow Eyebrow King capturing Sun Wukong with the Human Species Bag from a past life appeared in his mind.
In the Human Species Bag, Sun Wukong, like himself at this moment, couldn’t escape using any method.
If it weren’t for the protagonist’s aura, the journey to the West might have ended there.
Similarly, the figure of Tathagata from a past life appeared in his mind.
A giant hand directly pressed the inescapable Sun Wukong under the Five Finger Mountain, holding him down for five hundred years.
But in the end, Sun Wukong still managed to escape, only to become one of the people on the journey to the West to fetch the scriptures.
"Hmph," Xu Ran sneered, "I won’t have to become one of the figures on the journey to escape like Sun Wukong."
Immediately, his eyes burned with waves of light.
"I will rely on my own power to get out successfully."
"I have the protagonist’s aura too!"
"Once I get out, I’ll definitely turn the Dao Heart Demon into a real hot air balloon and hang it outside the safe zone for people to watch."
Having said that, he closed his eyes again, fully focused on searching for the space’s flaws.
In this bizarre space, time seemed to not exist.
It was unclear how much time had passed when Xu Ran opened his eyes.
Even though it didn’t matter if they were open or not, it was all pitch-black.
Xu Ran exhaled a breath of turbid air, "Could this space be perfect? Not a single flaw to be found."
If anyone could see Xu Ran, they would see his hair in disarray, even a bit of beard and stubble growing, looking extremely haggard.
During this period, Xu Ran couldn’t feel the passage of time, nor did he know how long had passed.
At this moment, the once silent Dao Heart Demon once again spoke with a hoarse voice.
"Xu Ran, to remind you, sixty days have passed now!"
Sixty days?
Xu Ran was stunned upon hearing this.
Has so much time really passed?
But in this strange space, he felt nothing.
Sixty days’ time with no advancement in understanding this space.
He knew he possessed the terrifying ability of Skilled in Enlightenment, yet even so, no flaws had been found.
But he quickly reacted.
"Surely, not as long as sixty days!" Xu Ran said calmly.
Even though there were no time references.
But with his Divine Level cultivation, he knew for sure that sixty days couldn’t have passed outside.
Even if time rules were distorted here.
"Haha," the Dao Heart Demon laughed recklessly, "Is there a need for me to lie to you?"
"You’re already trapped here, what benefit would I gain from deceiving you?"
"For amusement? Don’t be ridiculous!"
Even though the Dao Heart Demon spoke with conviction, Xu Ran still didn’t believe its words.
Seeing this, the Dao Heart Demon continued, "Since you don’t believe, let me show you something to make you accept it."
"This can be considered a gift from me, so you can die a little more enlightened."
Suddenly, the black in this space slowly dissipated, a thin ray of sunlight slowly seeped in, quickly filling the entire space with light.
The sudden burst of sunlight caught Xu Ran off guard, forcing him to shield his eyes with his hand from the dazzling light to feel more comfortable.
Now, Xu Ran, feeling the long-lost sunlight, was extremely excited inside, even though he couldn’t open his eyes, it was like rain after a drought.
Once his eyes adjusted, Xu Ran immediately opened them to see where he was.
He found himself in a transparent cage about five meters long, wide, and tall.
The cage was surrounded by black runes emitting a polluting aura, the runes exuding a mystical aura of space and time.
Seeing his surroundings, Xu Ran felt a renewed sense of puzzlement.
Something’s not right! Something’s really not right!
After a quick contemplation, the clues in his mind still couldn’t connect.
Then, he could only focus on his surroundings.
Curious, Xu Ran touched the runes, but they weren’t real; they passed right through his hand, as if they weren’t in the same space.
"These mystical runes must be what’s isolating time and space."
Upon carefully probing the runes, he found their logic completely incomprehensible to him.
The existence of these runes entirely broke the current rune system he knew.
"Could this be the reason I can’t inscribe a Teleportation Array here? Have my runes become outdated?" Xu Ran wondered.
Thinking it over, he still had no leads.
So he again observed his surroundings.
Currently, Xu Ran was still outside the Seventh Safe Zone.
And outside the Seventh Safe Zone, the Dao Heart Demon still hovered there, unchanged from when he entered.
Xu Ran closed his eyes once more, trying to extend his Divine Sense to understand the situation in the Seventh Safe Zone.
But found out that his Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate this transparent space.
Even under such unfavorable circumstances, Xu Ran still didn’t believe sixty days had passed outside.
"You say sixty days have passed? Why do I feel it’s exactly the same as when I just got out?" Xu Ran asked.
