When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 1369 - 874: Family
Xiang Qingde’s soul has already shattered, corroded spot by spot by the power of primordial simplicity.
Yet, he still stands there, his confused gaze gradually becoming clear. For a moment, his expression turns lucid, as if he suddenly recalls many things, like a last flash of clarity before fading.
He waves his hand, and the power of primordial simplicity spreads out, enveloping the surroundings. The chaotic power is unique, forcibly solidifying the surrounding space to block Houtu from the outside, making this area temporarily free from any interference.
Having done all this, he finally turns around and looks at Xiang Beifei.
"Grandfather..."
Xiang Beifei gazes at the soul that is about to be completely consumed, his heart trembling.
"I remember some things."
Xiang Qingde’s voice is hoarse and weak, the power having already affected his ability to speak, yet he struggles to maintain his voice.
"The space-time of this world is chaotic. If it cannot be stopped, time and space will forever be forcibly altered. The past and the future, they will always change. To stop space-time from being constantly reshaped, only you can accomplish it."
Xiang Qingde looks wearily at Xiang Beifei.
"What do you mean?"
Xiang Beifei struggles to stand, gasping heavily.
"The laws of the wheel of time."
On the other side, Xiang Tianxing also speaks, also looking at Xiang Beifei, fatigued beyond measure.
"The progression of this world has always been chaotic due to the existence of Heavenly Dao Laws. Countless events can be forcibly changed. And the most coveted law among Heavenly Dao Laws is the wheel of reincarnation."
"Cultivators have always fought and slaughtered each other; the victors become kings while the defeated become prisoners. When one race is extinguished, experts would travel to the past, interfering with historical progression, forcibly changing events that have already occurred to reverse the situation."
"The wheel of reincarnation has always been snatched and changed hands among various forces until it fell into the hands of Houtu. By relying on time-travel laws, he annihilated the other eight major races; even the Human Race was brought to the brink of extinction with countless experts being intercepted and slaughtered."
Xiang Tianxing explains the past he understands about Edge Corner Airspace.
All of this, Xiang Beifei never knew before!
"Back then, I fought against Houtu countless times in Edge Corner Airspace; he was never my match head-on. Every time, I defeated him to protect the Human Race, but each time, he would return to the past, learn information in advance, and escape from my grasp."
Xiang Tianxing’s body is also slowly vaporizing, but he tries to tell Xiang Beifei the whole truth, letting him know what he has been doing all these years.
This is also what Houtu had been saying when facing Xiang Tianxing earlier, that he has been defeated countless times in the cycles of time-space.
"Those who have merged with Dao will not change because the Heavenly Dao Laws have modified the historical progression. That’s why I always remember this matter. I saved the Human Race over a hundred times in that constant cycle of time-space, but it was always forcibly changed by Houtu. I realized continuing this way was futile, so I know I have to go to the ends of the world to seek a stronger Heavenly Dao to invalidate the wheel of reincarnation."
Seeing his utmost efforts unable to pull the Human Race from the brink of extinction, Xiang Tianxing chose not to save the Human Race of Edge Corner Airspace anymore, insisting on going to the ends of the world.
Because no matter how he tried to save, Houtu would return to the past to directly eliminate.
The important part is he can’t expose too much information; the more he battles with Houtu, the easier it becomes for his past to be exposed. Houtu could very well return to his moment of birth to assassinate him.
"I think Father came to the ends of the world for this reason before, under normal circumstances, those mere dozen Ancestral Dao Realm experts couldn’t harm him. But because of the wheel of time-space, Houtu returned to different historical points to assassinate him, injuring him."
Xiang Tianxing looks at Xiang Qingde.
This is his father.
Even though he has a son himself, he is someone else’s son.
He has also been searching for the past of his amnesiac father and that lost truth.
That buried past has still been unearthed by him.
Everyone has a growth period and moments of oversight; as long as Houtu uses prophetic ability, he can easily seize the opportunity in history to defeat him.
Because even a master of Merging Dao progressed step by step from the Qi-Controlling phase, there’s a time he was weak too.
In Edge Corner Airspace, as long as Houtu has the ability to constantly cross time and space to alter history, to investigate this person’s origin, anyone with powerful means cannot truly protect themselves.
Houtu will kill any threat to himself in the past!
"We have always been protecting our past, not letting Houtu find it. The Great Desolate Realm is a means to protect us; as long as Houtu doesn’t find where we lived during our weaker times, we are safe."
Xiang Tianxing explains.
Xiang Beifei is greatly shocked!
This issue has always troubled him. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
He couldn’t understand before why his father and grandfather were so powerful yet were unable to protect the Human Race, leading them to such a miserable state, hiding like street rats.
Now he vaguely understands.
With the laws of time-space reincarnation, Houtu in Edge Corner Airspace is immortal!
No matter how they protect the Human Race, the history of Edge Corner Airspace will be forcibly altered by Houtu, and the Human Race will always suffer tremendous unwarranted disasters!
