Chapter 416: Recorders of Past and Present (Twenty-Seven)

A giant!
At this moment, the True Immortal who had traversed countless timelines to reach this alternate dimension suddenly changed his expression.
This was actually a True Immortal giant... No wonder he could roam outside of so many timelines without falling from his immortal position.
He actually arrived in this timeline so early!
Su Chen opened his eyes. His body was now shrouded in black, completely out of place with the surrounding golden space. His expression was impassive. He pointed a finger, and the entire space seemed to fall into eternal silence with that gesture.
Time began to rewind... The finger remained stationary, and an eternal silver-gray power surged from behind the giant from another dimension. This was actually the power of time! This was a true immortal who had mastered the Great Dao of Time and ascended to immortality!
"A giant like you, if you hadn't encountered the repulsion of spacetime, I would naturally be extremely wary of you."
"But you want to forcibly intervene in this spacetime. The terrifying causality will reduce your strength to a hundred percent, and I walk the path of time. Here, you are no match for me!"
Su Chen remained expressionless; he didn't take any of this to heart.
"The Great Dao of Time... is it very strong?"
As the fingertip moved, countless causes and effects intertwined, transforming into a sharp spear. The reversal of time could not hinder the extension of causality.
The Great Dao of Causality, the most unsolvable attack. This move was destined to be unavoidable, originating from different times—present, past, and future. As long as Su Chen was touched by its aura, he could unleash this terrifying attack.
Even a True Immortal, capable of encompassing all the timelines of their own path to enlightenment, couldn't help but cower in the face of an inevitable clash, inwardly cursing the scoundrel!
Time reigns supreme, space is king.
Destiny is unpredictable, cause and effect reign supreme.
Time reversal, normally, can rewind to the 'cause,' for without cause there is no effect. But no matter how he tried to rewind, he couldn't rewind all of Su Chen's 'causes.' It seemed that ever since he silently entered this timeline, he had been controlled by an invisible hand.
"No...that's not right..."
He suddenly realized something, a chill running down his spine: "My entry into this timeline wasn't accidental. This person knew I would enter...he ambushed me in this timeline!"
He realized his thinking had fallen into a trap. Awakening suddenly, he tried to rewind to an even more distant timeline. He saw at the end of time in this timeline, standing there, expressionless, staring at him.
At this moment, however, the mysterious figure wearing the bronze mask emanated no aura of black punishment. He smiled bitterly, numerous thoughts flashing through his mind.
"You...knew I would come here all along, damn it!"
He had been misled.
The figure wearing the bronze mask made his move, and a terrifying punishment descended.
......
On Qingfeng Mountain
Dongfang Yunxing stared blankly at his master.
"Master, is it resolved?"
Su Chen nodded.
For him, dealing with a True Immortal who had never seen the world was incredibly easy.
Ordinary True Immortals cannot cross the Reverse Current Land to travel to different fragments of spacetime. Unless it's some True Immortals who survived that battle, other True Immortals...are far too 'naive' in front of Su Chen.
Dongfang Yunxing clicked his tongue, inwardly marveling at how worthy his master was.
At this moment, a ray of light pierced through the ages... Dongfang Yunxing smiled.
A figure, faintly visible, was slowly coalescing, unique throughout history, the embodiment of all laws.
At this moment, even a True Immortal from another dimension could not stop it.
Dongfang Yunxing's body gradually dimmed.
He clasped his hands in a fist salute towards Su Chen, bowing deeply—a gesture Dongfang Yunxing had performed countless times.
Su Chen's body trembled slightly.
But this time, it wasn't a greeting, but a farewell.
"This unfilial disciple is ashamed; I can no longer serve my master..."
Su Chen interrupted Dongfang Yunxing, saying, "Go, go, your master will not blame you."
Dongfang Yunxing took his leave, leaving only his last words:
"Disciple...is going."
The Great Dao walks alone, the Great Dao walks alone, how desolate.
Su Chen gazed at the mountains, the waters, and the sky, staring into the endless years, yet there was no longer a trace left.
"Coming and going, in the end, all is still alone."
The journey forward is destined to be lonely.
At this moment, Dongfang Yunxiao attained enlightenment.
He looked back through the ages, but found no trace of familiarity. Turning back, he saw a familiar figure—it was... his Grandmaster!
At this moment, Su Chen was also watching Dongfang Yunxiao, traversing the torrent of time.
A trace of confusion appeared in Dongfang Yunxiao's eyes, suddenly turning into sorrow. He wanted to transcend time and ask his Grandmaster what had happened... but Dongfang Yunxiao discovered one thing: no matter how he went against the current, he was getting further and further away from his Grandmaster.
He never gave up.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Chen stopped and looked back at Dongfang Yunxiao.
"Stop. Your continued pursuit won't change the established facts."
Dongfang Yunxiao's lips trembled slightly. A True Immortal, who should have been infinitely glorious, was now filled with trepidation and unease.
"Grandmaster...Master...Where did he go?"
Faced with Dongfang Yunxiao's question, Su Chen said, "The Great Dao is singular. Having attained the Dao, one cannot become a True Immortal...This is what your master left you. Take good care of yourself."
His figure gradually disappeared...witnessing the passing of Dongfang Yunxing, witnessing Dongfang Yunxiao's ascension to immortality. This spacetime held little that warranted his lingering. He still needed to search for those fragmented spaces, to uncover the truth of the past, to witness everything, and to achieve the Dao and become an Immortal King.
He would pause, but he wouldn't remain in any one moment forever.
Watching his grandmaster's disappearing figure, Dongfang Yunxiao seemed to remember something. He said, "Master... I was really stupid... I was really stupid... How could I believe that Grandmaster would be angry with his disciple over a meal of roast chicken..."
"Grandmaster knew all along, and you knew all along too..."
From beginning to end, only he was kept in the dark.
The Great Dao is long and winding, the torrent of time flows on and on.
A figure stood still for a long, long time... until he departed, ending the chaos of spacetime. This time, he did not linger.
Dongfang Yunxiao looked at the traces left by his grandmaster and resolutely stepped forward.
.......
Since Dongfang Yunxiao became an immortal, Su Chen left that spacetime.
He traveled to more spacetimes, seeking the truth.
His footsteps traversed countless spaces.
The Book of Cause and Effect records countless events, each one a momentous event that could influence an entire timeline.
Yet, all of this was still far, far away from the truth he sought.
Until…
“This timeline has a Celestial King presiding over it!”
Su Chen discovered the first timeline with a Celestial King.
And this Celestial King even appeared before him!
