Outside Of Time

Chapter 1804: Using Wishes to Trace Origins!

Editor: Atlas Studios

Beyond Wanggu, in the starry void, the golden-silver sea of light surged with overwhelming pressure, bearing down upon the Lord God of the Mother River with devastating force.

The entire cosmos trembled as the Lord God was forced into retreat.

Yet the chain of Law that transcended time, space, and all dimensions had already bound It tightly.

Countless silver threads extended from the chain, aiming to infiltrate Its divine aspect!

This sight made the Lord God’s expression darken, Its pupils contracting as waves of dread surged through Its being.

It had never imagined that something like divine aspect reconstruction could happen to It.

Such an ability was unheard of!

”This is unnatural! Deolate’s causality cannot be so easily manipulated!”

”There must be other hidden flaws here!”

”Moreover, while the fusion of immortal and god is rare throughout history, it isn’t unprecedented. Yet every fusion requires complex rituals and preparations, carries immense risks, and is highly unstable.”

”But this human achieved it instantly... I refuse to believe it!”

These thoughts flashed through the Lord God’s mind as Its divine aspect erupted with golden radiance, resisting the invading Law with all its might.

Amidst this struggle, Its voice boomed furiously:

”I wish that those who oppose me shall have their souls decay!”

”I wish that those who tamper with my divine aspect shall be immobilized!”

”I wish that those who harbor ill intent toward me shall have their lifespans burn away!”

”I wish that those who strike me shall share my wounds!”

”I wish that my divine aspect shall be indestructible!”

”Let’s see how you reconstruct my divine aspect now!”

The Lord God’s authority expanded, enveloping the starry void as the power of its divine aspect erupted, forming terrifying wish-force that distorted rules, altered laws, and even influenced the star ring itself.

The effects manifested immediately—even Xu Qing’s movements slowed.

His soul showed signs of decay.

His body became sluggish.

His vitality began to burn.

The chains binding the Lord God also showed cracks—the shared-wound wish taking effect.

After all, this was a Lord God!

Equal in level to Xu Qing’s Ordinance Law.

Though only a partial manifestation, It was no ordinary foe.

The power of wishes surpassed causality, carrying a trace of origin-tracing ability—for wishing was an innate instinct of all living beings, a core component of the divine system.

Yet Xu Qing’s composure remained unshaken. Instead, a peculiar light flashed in his eyes as he observed the Lord God and spoke calmly:

”The Authority of Wishes... I’ve studied it before. It is extraordinary—capable of tracing origins.”

”But I never intended to truly reconstruct your divine aspect. I only needed to bind you here, to borrow your wish-origin... to verify certain mysteries for me.”

As he spoke, Xu Qing raised his right hand and pointed at the Lord God.

An ancient divine chant echoed through spacetime:

”Golden Crow.”

The moment these words left his lips, the golden-silver sea around him churned violently. Xu Qing’s Ordinance Law resonated with the Lord God’s mark, forming a tracing force that merged with the sea of light.

Then—

A piercing cry shattered the void as a magnificent dragon carriage emerged from the light!

Then, from within the sea, a dragon carriage—one Xu Qing remembered—rose into view!

A giant figure stood before the carriage, pulling it as it emerged from the sea.

The scene was majestic.

Heavenly music echoed around, ethereal and sublime.

And within the carriage, a figure could faintly be seen.

Clad in imperial robes, wearing a crown... not of an emperor, but of a crown prince!

The Golden Crow Crown Prince of the extinct Brilliant Heaven God Race—who had willingly transformed into a sun!

Now resurrected through Xu Qing’s Ordinance Law, empowered by the Authority of Wishes!

The moment it manifested, boundless Golden Crow radiance erupted from the carriage. The Crown Prince within stood up and took a step forward.

Forming... a Golden Crow sun.

It shot toward the Lord God, still bound by chains!

From afar, the Golden Crow sun burned with extreme intensity. It was both a sun and a Golden Crow—and also... a spear of taboo, seemingly capable of piercing through all things!

The Lord God’s mind shook. The power of Its divine aspect surged outward to block the Golden Crow.

Yet Xu Qing’s assault continued.

After merging with his divine form, some powers he had been unable to use in the Fifth Star Ring... had now returned.

And all of them had been reconstructed and elevated by his Ordinance Law. Combined with the power of wish, the hidden essences within these divine abilities gradually revealed themselves.

”Poison Restriction!”

The moment these words left Xu Qing’s mouth, a third color appeared within the golden-silver sea around him.

Black!

Strands, wisps, patches—until it became a mist!

Within that mist, the faint outline of a colossal beast could be seen!

Just a silhouette, blurred and indistinct, yet the moment it appeared, it carried an aura reminiscent of a Venerable God!

Though not real, not even a true projection—more like a primordial phenomenon of the Poison Restriction after its reversion to origin.

Now, it spread toward the Lord God.

This sight made even Xu Qing’s mind tense.

Though he had some guesses about the origins of the Poison Restriction, they had remained speculative—until now.

Gazing at the beast’s shadow, Xu Qing finally understood.

”So that’s how it is...”

The moment this realization dawned in Xu Qing’s heart, the Lord God’s inner turmoil intensified as It saw the beast within the poison mist.

”The Colossal Spirit Venerable God... This is an extension of Its divine authority!”

It naturally knew that within the Ninth Star Ring, four Venerable Gods existed.

To the east, a slumbering behemoth.

To the north, a flowing golden Mother River.

To the south, a towering black pagoda.

To the west, a terrifying paper figurine seated in meditation.

And now, the wishing power drawn from It was actually manifesting a Venerable God. This made the Lord God’s divine aspect tremble violently.

An overwhelming sense of crisis erupted continuously. It tried to resist, to sever the connection—but for now, It could not.

As for Xu Qing, he paid no attention to the Lord God. Instead, he narrowed his eyes at the beast’s shadow.

”It, like the Mother River, has been scheming over Wanggu...”

Xu Qing murmured inwardly before raising his hand once more.

”Red Moon.”

With these words, the Moon Offering Region trembled. A red moon rose in the starry sky, casting eerie scarlet light.

Within the moon, the faint silhouette of the Crimson Goddess could be seen.

The same figure that had once filled Xu Qing with terror was merely a High God. Yet, with Xu Qing’s Ordinance Law, he could elevate this figure further—granting Her even greater divine might.

But he did not do so immediately. Instead, he gazed at the space beside the Crimson Goddess...

There, under the resonance of wishing power and Ordinance Law, another figure appeared!

Li Zihua!

Since this was a manifestation of divine ability essence, conjured through wishing power, the Li Zihua that appeared was also blurred, devoid of will. Yet the aura emanating from Him... was also that of a Lord God!

”Senior Li Zihua was truly peerless in his brilliance.”

Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed thoughtfully as he directed the Red Moon’s authority toward the Lord God.

The Lord God’s anxiety grew fiercer. It resisted desperately, though It also felt a slight relief, thinking that at least It was not facing a Venerable God...

But then, Xu Qing waved his hand once more.

”Let us see the origins of my other divine abilities!”

”Ghost Emperor Mountain!”

In an instant, a supreme mountain rose from the golden-silver sea!

A humanoid figure sat cross-legged atop it, emanating an ordinary aura. Yet, under the enhancement of Xu Qing’s Ordinance, behind this mountain... a black bronze pagoda materialized!

The moment the pagoda appeared, the aura of a Venerable God manifested.

Xu Qing’s gaze deepened. The origins of the Ghost Emperor Mountain were now clear to him.

Like the Poison Restriction, it represented the machinations of one of the Ninth Star Ring’s Venerable Gods.

These scenes sent waves of shock crashing through the Lord God’s heart. Its divine aspect instantly developed cracks.

”You... you...”

Never before today had It imagined that a mere human could be the focal point of so many terrifying existences’ schemes.

”Multiple Venerable Gods have laid plans upon him... Why? Did They scheme against him, or did he attract Them all?”

”At this rate, even without him reconstructing it, my divine aspect will collapse under the strain!”

The Lord God’s spirit trembled violently.

Meanwhile, Xu Qing’s emotions surged, his eyes shining with a strange light.

”Now... morning glow!”

A shimmer of morning glow flickered across Xu Qing’s body. The morning glow he had once comprehended now burst forth, illuminating the surroundings.

In the past, he had not fully understood this light—only that it could replicate all divine abilities.

But now, empowered by his Ordinance Law, he finally saw its truth.

It was a ten-thousandth fragment of a mysterious light once worshipped by the Brilliant Heaven God Race!

And tracing further back, it was the first light born at the dawn of Wanggu.

The Lord God wailed again. Its divine aspect emitted cracking sounds. It was now utterly desperate, struggling relentlessly to break free from this borrowed-power state.

”It was not a Venerable God’s scheme!”

Xu Qing understood, paying no further heed to the Lord God. Instead, he uttered a low chant.

”D132!”

Amid another scream from the Lord God, D132 materialized from the river of time with a thunderous rumble.

Within its cells, numerous figures appeared—the painter, the severed head, the stone lion, the scarecrow, the millstone, and the god’s finger.

But compared to them, Xu Qing’s focus was on the most unique existence within D132.

The little boy from back then!

His figure emerged from a wisp of mist, standing there in confusion. The moment he appeared, the distant Wanggu quaked violently.

Fortune churned!

Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed with fascination. He knew that the little boy in D132 was fortune itself!

And now, through the power of wishing and the reconstruction from his Ordinance Law, the little boy was gathering once more!

”Good. Now... the most mysterious one of all.”

Long ago, Xu Qing had obtained an item in the underground palace—one of incredibly obscure origins.

He only knew that successive imperial dynasties that unified Wanggu had all sought it.

Legends said it held the secrets of Wanggu’ formation!

”Now, borrowing the origin power of wishing, let us see what mysteries this object truly holds!”

A sharp glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. As the Lord God shrieked in agony, he raised his right hand and pointed forward.

”Bottle of Time!”
