Outside of Time - Chapter 1753

It appeared in the sky.

"Wait, the one inside Senior Brother is deep blue, while these… are light blue!"

What was even more astonishing, and what caused Xu Qing’s heart to churn, was that on the icy walls of the canyon, from top to bottom, there were countless bronze doors.

This question remained unanswered for now. After a moment of contemplation, Xu Qing soared into the air and flew away.

If that were all, it wouldn’t have stirred Xu Qing’s emotions. What truly caused his pupils to contract was that outside the fully visible bronze doors, there sat cross-legged unique Origin Sins!

It was as if these runes were a tribulation it had to face. In its frenzy, it charged toward the runes.

Xu Qing could sense this throughout his journey.

"The refined origin essence is enough to sustain me and the clay fox for several days…"

Unfortunately, no matter how he tried to activate them, the three bronze doors, like the one he had first appeared before, showed no response.

Yet, upon reflection, since arriving in the Fifth Star Ring from Wanggu, although much of his progress was due to his own efforts, it was undeniable that the Venerable Immortal’s unseen gaze had spared him many troubles.

"To collect the essence of a True God, I must either rely on the power of the Aurora Heaven’s Beyond to suppress It, or the god must have Its realm weakened, as with the goddess."

With a soft sigh, he divided the absorbed origin essence, sending a portion to the clay fox to offset their losses. He then sat cross-legged and began absorbing the energy in earnest.

It disappeared.

Thus, Xu Qing shot forward like a hungry wolf, heading toward where the corpse would land.

As for the Origin Sin, its eyes glowed intensely with blue light, and it let out a deafening roar.

In Xu Qing’s mind, even if She were to die, it should be in a way that provided him with significant benefits, making Her death meaningful.

He had fought these Origin Beasts multiple times and knew Their nature and how troublesome They were. These light blue Origin Beasts were the first of Their kind he had encountered here.

This discovery invigorated Xu Qing. He increased his speed, transforming into a streaking meteor that crossed the void in an instant, arriving above the canyon!

Xu Qing was uncertain about this. As he looked at the Origin Sins and bronze doors below, he couldn’t help but think of Senior Brother!

This was the first time in a month that Xu Qing had seen a different landscape!

At the same time, within the descending divine corpse, Fairy Spirit Phoenix opened her eyes.

Every time he unleashes his power, an Origin Sin emerges from his chest, and it seems to be one with him!"

A gleam appeared in his eyes.

"It seems the goddess wasn’t lying about this… Gods below the True God level, even in divine decay, return here to become nourishment."

And there were so many of Them.

"With this technique, I can offset the absorption of my origin essence by this place, granting me the ability to stay here longer."

Xu Qing frowned. After a while, he simply sat cross-legged in mid-air, facing the Origin Beasts while silently observing.

"In other words, I don’t need to overthink the Venerable Immortal’s plan. By continuing forward, his intentions may naturally reveal themselves at some unexpected moment."

At the edge of his vision, on the black glacier, a massive fissure had appeared!

This enabled him to continue exploring the area.

After a while, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and looked at the glacier, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Ultimately, a divine body took shape!

However, compared to the golden light, the blue radiance was like boiling water meeting snowflakes. No matter how brightly the blue light shone, it could not resist the golden light, which eventually engulfed and erased it.

This had been his routine for the past half-month.

The runes exuded an ancient aura, containing unimaginable mystery. Just a glance caused Xu Qing’s heart to tremble, and he immediately retreated further.

Xu Qing’s thoughts raced as he recalled everything about Senior Brother. At the same time, far in the sky, a divine corpse, having completed its long journey, finally arrived here.

"Then, since I also entered through a bronze door, did I come in the form of a True Name?"

During this half-month, he witnessed multiple divine corpses falling from the sky. Most of them disintegrated mid-air, turning to dust. Only a few, those who had reached the Divine Platform realm, remained partially intact, becoming remnants that slowly sank into the glacier.

"This is the process of god reconstruction here!"

He then ceased using the divine art and instead employed ordinary collection methods on the divine corpse to confirm his earlier judgment.

Apart from the Origin Sins beneath the glacier and the occasional falling remnants in the sky, there was nothing else.

Moreover, the aura of a True God emanated from this body. Before it could awaken, the nearby bronze door suddenly sucked it in.

"Next, I can explore this place further.

These runes floated out from the door!

Then… as if absorbing everything from the dead Origin Sin, the runes began to extend, forming bones, veins, and finally flesh…

During this process, it did not disintegrate!

It was far inferior to a True God corpse!

Refining remnants provided limited origin essence.

"So, rather than calling this the Primordial Home Planet, it’s more accurate to call it a Corpse Star, akin to the Netherworld."

"Only True Gods can have Their corpses fall intact."

Almost as soon as Xu Qing looked at Them, many of the Origin Beasts sitting outside the bronze doors also raised Their heads, Their blue eyes coldly staring at Xu Qing.

"As for this divine corpse, Its origin essence has dimmed after death, being devoured by Origin Sins and absorbed by the Home Planet… Thus, ordinary collection methods yield nothing. Only the Mystic Nether Soul Refinement Art, with its domineering nature, can seize a portion."

"The Mystic Nether Soul Refinement Art is an overwhelmingly domineering secret technique capable of forcibly refining the origin essence of True Gods!"

It was brimming with life!

It was a True God corpse!

"It seems the temple doors are the means to enter this place, but not the way out."

Thus, time passed day by day, and Xu Qing’s exploration range on the Primordial Home Planet expanded as he replenished his origin essence. However, the surface of the glacier remained unchanged.

"There must be some connection between the temples and the Origin Beasts."

Xu Qing’s heart raced.

"I am likely just one piece of his plan, or perhaps an auxiliary!"

"Indeed, it is as I thought!"

In the next moment, the runes emitted golden light, while the Origin Sin burst with blue radiance. The two seemed to devour each other.

Xu Qing did not act rashly, and the Origin Beasts also made no move, simply watching him.

Until… when Xu Qing’s senses had grown somewhat numb from the monotony, something unexpected happened. While flying through the sky, Xu Qing suddenly halted, his gaze fixed on the distance.

Heading straight for the Origin Sin outside!

As for the Venerable Immortal’s plan… I’ll consider it repayment.

"But this feeling… I don’t like it!"

Until the Venerable Immortal’s plan reveals itself, I should focus on cultivation."

Several days later, as the divine corpse completely sank beneath the glacier, Xu Qing rose into the air under the blue gazes of the Origin Sins and flew away.

He intended to search for more fallen divine corpses to replenish the origin essence loss for himself and the clay fox, buying more time.

If I can find a way out, that would be ideal.

Beside her, Young Master Aurora opened his eyes, his expression calm. Just as he was about to speak, his previously serene expression suddenly turned peculiar.

Since the Primordial Home Planet had no day or night, bathed eternally in the faint green moonlight, Xu Qing measured time based on Wanggu’s standards.

A divine murmur echoed from within as the door opened.

After a while, Xu Qing slowly retreated, and some of the Origin Beasts averted Their gazes.

Xu Qing, unwilling to waste origin essence, unleashed his combat power to forcefully break through. In each of these temples, he found bronze doors.

"Moreover, among the two I encountered earlier—one had only partially returned, and the other had been severely injured, unable to restore Its realm."

While these remnants couldn’t provide as much origin essence as a True God corpse, allowing him to sustain himself for several days at once, absorbing enough of them could still barely replenish his losses.

Xu Qing raised his head, gazing into the distance. The fog in his mind seemed to disperse slightly, as if a breeze had swept through.

Xu Qing witnessed this entire process clearly, and his heart surged with waves of emotion.

Several days later, a strange change occurred within the canyon, completely unraveling Xu Qing’s doubts.

Soaring through the skies of the Primordial Home Planet.

"But why are They all sitting outside the fully visible bronze doors?"

"They can’t come out…"

These Origin Sins were not just blue-armed; their entire bodies were covered in blue ice, resembling the one inside Senior Brother to an uncanny degree.

Xu Qing murmured inwardly as he watched a Divine Fire god turn to ash in the sky.

Below, one of the many bronze doors slowly opened.

Xu Qing confirmed this suspicion, his gaze sweeping over the Origin Beasts as another thought arose.

Behind him, a section of the glacier had collapsed, revealing countless Origin Sins staring intently at him.

The moment Xu Qing saw the corpse, he immediately set aside all his thoughts, his eyes gleaming with a bright light.

"That is…"

"The True Name imprints itself, transforming into a new god. This process is unalterable for the Origin Sins, like destiny!"

Descending toward the earth!

"So, reconstruction requires Origin Sins with fully blue-iced bodies as vessels, and what floats out from the door… must be the True Name!!"

The goddess… could not die yet.

Having made up his mind, Xu Qing also sent a portion of the origin essence to the goddess as he flew.

Although he had not encountered another True God corpse like the first one, there were still remnants falling from the sky.

Without exception, each temple was surrounded by endless corpses and countless Origin Sins.

"Huh?"

"Moreover, Senior Brother also possesses the concept of immortality!"

Through the Origin Sins, a temple could be faintly seen at the bottom of the glacier, illuminated by the fragmented moonlight.

A newborn god!

Over the past half-month, he had explored not only the surface of the glacier but also its depths, locating three temples.

"Kanshan… Kanshan…"

Some doors were sealed within the ice, some were partially exposed, and others were fully visible.

Under Xu Qing’s watchful gaze, the Origin Sin and the runes collided.

"Then Senior Brother… from this perspective, is extremely special!

The moment Xu Qing saw these Origin Sins, his vigilance skyrocketed.

It was a divine sound, imbued with the power of the star ring. As it spread, it attracted anomalous substances, forming illusory interwoven divine runes.

It was still black, still endless.

Like a canyon, it was both shocking and awe-inspiring.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. In his view, the Venerable Immortal’s layered plans were undoubtedly profound.

The result aligned with his expectations—nothing was gained.

Thus, time passed, and half a month went by.

Looking down, the canyon was enormous, like a scar on the earth. Its length exceeded Xu Qing’s range of perception, and its depth was equally immeasurable.

"However, the Venerable Immortal’s purpose couldn’t possibly be just to have me absorb divine corpses here to enhance my cultivation and realm!"

"Staying here is the foundation…"

The entire world seemed to consist solely of him, a normal living being, eternally flying through this desolate expanse.

Xu Qing fell silent. He disliked having his fate manipulated, even if the manipulator was the Venerable Immortal.

Based on his previous experiences, Xu Qing reached this conclusion. He also knew that entering this canyon would be extremely dangerous.

"Husband, we’re here…"

Because dying here would render Her worthless.
