Outside Of Time

Chapter 1723  Immortal Lord Zhan Lu, You Didnʼt Lie to Me (1)

All of this reminded Xu Qing of the True God suppressed in his Qing Heaven…

Fate, in the eyes of mortals, existed in the unseen and was beyond comprehension.

Even cultivators, who walked the path of defying the heavens, often found themselves, at the end of their journey, unable to resist fate.

In the end, they compromised, smiling bitterly as they said:

”Make peace with yourself.”

This was the helplessness of life and the meaning that came from its impermanence.

When resistance failed, all that remained was adaptation.

But… there were still some beings—whether gods or immortals—who stood far above others, whose level of existence was extraordinary. To them, fate was neither so mysterious nor so unapproachable.

They could perceive its traces, unveil its veils, and, in some cases, even manipulate it with a wave of their hand—turning what was destined into the undestined and the undestined into the destined.

One such figure was the God of Pain, a once-renowned True God of the Fifth Star Ring.

Although not a Lord God, the unique nature of the God of Painʼs divine authority made It an honored guest, even in the presence of Lord Gods, during Its era of glory.

This was because Its illusions contained true essence!!

Thus, when this god was resurrected and crossed paths with Xu Qing, unleashing the power of Its divine authority, many things began to change.

For instance, Xu Qingʼs current sense of foreboding felt like the beating wings of fate itself.

The reason he could sense it, beyond his battles and encounters with the God of Pain, lay in an equally important karma:

He had a similar enemy.

His elder brother, Crown Prince Purple Green—a terrifying existence who also wielded the power of fate.

Thus, Xu Qingʼs counterattack had long been set into motion.

Until, through a fateful encounter in Wanggu, he too gained a similar divine authority.

That was a carving knife of fate!

It could etch additional threads of fate, turning variables into certainties and manifesting fates beyond fate itself.

Although this carving knife was not within his immortal body at the moment and remained with his divine body in Wanggu, the karma between them persisted.

With this in mind, Xu Qing reflected on the True God currently suppressed within his Qing Heaven and the agony Its divine authority had once inflicted upon him.

This thought deepened the cold glint in Xu Qingʼs eyes.

”Entering the battlefield, encountering the goddess, encountering the Lord Godʼs massacre…”

”So, next up is the goddess?”

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. The coldness in his eyes fell into his heart and transformed into sharpness.

After that, he retracted his gaze from the Fourth Star Ring and turned to continue harvesting on the battlefield.

Time flowed again with the waves of this scene.

A month passed.

During this month, Xu Qing was as usual. He continued to loot corpses, cultivate, and absorb origin essence.

His cultivation base also gradually increased, steadily advancing from the early-stage Quasi Immortal Realm to the middle-stage.

The feeling of palpitations would occasionally appear but he no longer cared. He had a way to deal with it, so… he was waiting.

He was waiting for the ripples of fate to send the so-called predestined fate to him.

…

The starry sky was like the sea, and the waves were ripples.

They were formed by the divine sounds.

In the godʼs encampment on the right-wing war zone of the Fourth Star Ring, waves continued to surge.

The true name of the commander of the right-wing divine army had been echoing continuously for an entire month around the nine altars.

Not only were the True Gods worshiping here calling out, but the countless lives that made up the nine flesh and blood bone altars were also calling out.

They were chanting the true name!

All of this divine resonance converged around the goddess floating above the coffin. Her bloodline served as a medium, pulling the void and bridging the past and present.

This connection transformed the doting of the Upper Star Ring into the power to unravel ancient covenants. It illuminated the path for the True Godʼs return—one that would otherwise require far more years to revive.

The way forward was unveiled, boundaries were breached,

and the aura of the returning god became increasingly dense. The vastness of divine might gradually thickened, until this stretch of the cosmos seemed to truly turn into a sea.

A sea of divinity, condensed from anomalous substances and divine authority.

This marked the first step of return!

The revival of the right-wing commander was underway, and the surrounding gods watched with golden light gleaming in Their eyes.

The second step of this return was just about to unfold.

But at that precise moment, the entire starry sky suddenly roared with a deafening sound, and an unexpected change erupted!

An ear-splitting cacophony abruptly echoed, so loud that the starry expanse trembled. The nine altars began to collapse, the surrounding star-sculpted statues and divine temples shook violently, and even the star river quaked.

The True Gods chanting the commanderʼs name and the goddess above the coffin all felt Their minds thunder in chaos.

What followed this drastic change was the change in the surroundings!

This area belonged to the Fourth Star Ring and contained dense anomalous substances. It was originally black, but now… white actually appeared out of thin air!

That was the momentum of immortal energy!

It suddenly arrived and sneaked into this place.

This caused the situation in this starry sky to change drastically.

If one possessed a pair of eyes that could see through all mysteries, they would be able to see the supreme place that enveloped the battlefield of the Fourth and Fifth Star Rings in the endless void.

There, two boundless entities vied for supremacy, their contest of momentum now undergoing a shift.

Immortal Lord Zhan Lu had made a decisive move, targeting the right-wing battlefield of the gods!

Hence, waves of immortal energy surged in, transforming this region in an instant into something akin to an ink painting.

Black and white intertwined, the ink flowing and blending together, clashing with fierce opposition, suppressing one another.

The black and white moved, the ink moved, and the tides of the battle shifted!

And alongside this tide came a group of prepared and resolute figures. Within the white immortal energy, shadowy silhouettes of cultivators filled with ferocious killing intent shattered the barriers of the star ring and were transported into the battlefield!
