Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 256 Chu Qiu Ci's Enlightenment

Qiu Ci tried to comprehend everything before her, and was immediately overwhelmed by a deluge of information, so vast and chaotic that it seemed to fill her entire mind. She could only try her best to focus and sense it, sorting out the information piece by piece from the chaotic mass.

She didn't know how long she had been meditating like this until she finally understood some of the information. Only then did she realize why the strange giant tree in front of her looked like this. Those colorful lines were the foundation of this world, and also the laws. The entire world was surrounded by the laws of the Three Thousand Great Daos. The information that could almost impact one's entire mind contained the aura of numerous laws.

Life, yin and yang, soul, power, immortals and demons, creation, reincarnation, and so on—these are all the great laws that make up this world. She can sense the power and profundity of these laws with just a slight contact. Each one is magnificent and grand, yet it seems that she can only understand the surface of each one in her entire life. Fortunately, she has plenty of time.

For some reason, Qiu Ci felt this was a rare opportunity to gain insight and learn, and the people of Blue Star were best at learning. So she began to do her best to distinguish the aura of each law from this vast and chaotic aura, and then to comprehend, understand, merge with the Dao, and even transcend it.

She seemed to see the sunrise and sunset, the changing of mountains and rivers, the cycle of life and death, the light and the darkness. There were cultivators who defied the heavens, mortals who followed their destiny, pioneers who paved the way, and ants who struggled to survive. All things in the world flashed before her eyes.

Qiu Ci was so immersed in comprehending the laws that she didn't know how much time had passed. It was as if she had become one with the void, and she had lost the concept of time. She was intertwined with the many laws and vaguely felt something breaking through the soil in her heart and beginning to grow and grow.

With each law she comprehended, the growth within her accelerated, and a new branch sprouted from the tree, making it even stronger. Her originally fierce cultivation level broke through layer after layer, to the point that she herself couldn't even discern her current cultivation level. It was as if the so-called cultivation realm had lost its meaning in her eyes.

Qiu Ci didn't know how much time had passed until she fully understood every line of law on the giant tree. Only then did she stop this comprehension and resonance. Looking at the giant tree in front of her again, the powerful, profound, and incomprehensible feeling had disappeared. Everything in the world before her eyes no longer held any secrets. It was as if it were an open sheet of paper that she could write on at will.

In the blink of an eye, she could create a world exactly like the one before her, but she still felt something was missing.

So she turned her gaze to the two great rivers that encircled the giant tree. As before, she focused on comprehending the mystery. The next moment, a tremendous aura surged forth, and a huge wave suddenly rose from the river, crashing directly towards her.

Qiu Ci felt a sharp pain in her mind, and her mind almost collapsed. Fortunately, her profound understanding of the laws she had comprehended earlier allowed her to withstand the impact. She was even more shocked than before. She had already comprehended thousands of Great Dao Laws, yet she was still impacted by the laws in this river, which showed how powerful these laws were.

She dared not be careless any longer, and instead began to exert all her strength to comprehend everything in the two rivers. For a time, she seemed to be immersed in a vast ocean, rising and falling with the waves. After a long time, she finally managed to figure out the name of the laws in the rivers.

Within these two great rivers, there exists only one law in each of them, and they are the two most familiar laws.

Spacetime and causality!
It is the most powerful and fundamental law among the three thousand Great Laws, yet it is the most difficult to comprehend. Qiu Ci immersed all her mind in these two great rivers, trying her best to comprehend them. Her mind was repeatedly submerged and resurfaced by the surging waters, and the effort she put in was almost the sum of her efforts to comprehend the other thousands of laws.

In this river, she seemed to have experienced countless lives, some magnificent and some ordinary. In these lives, she was no longer a human being, and sometimes she was not even human, yet each life was unique, with countless causes and effects intertwining and breaking apart, coming and going, arising and ceasing without beginning or end, until finally returning to her original trajectory.

Familiar scenes flashed before her eyes: the time when she first woke up on the Lin Yuan Continent, the time when she worked on the Shen Hui Continent, the time when she fought against the main god in the Immortal Realm, the time when she was a teacher at the Twin Star Academy, and the fleeting ten years on Blue Star... Qiu Ci traveled through those periods of time. Whether they were familiar or unfamiliar to her, whether they remained in her memory or not, everything she experienced left its own mark in time and space.

Is this cause and effect, and spacetime? Qiu Ci suddenly grasped something, finally comprehending these two laws, and thus immersed herself even more intently in them…

As time passed, Qiu Ci slowly opened her eyes after fully comprehending all the laws of the Great Dao.

At this moment, her aura was no different from the void itself; the two seemed to have merged into an equal existence. Qiu Ci looked at the giant tree and river before her again, her eyes sparkling with starlight. Everything in the world was before her, and all things became clear and distinct.

She couldn't help but chuckle softly. So that's how it is. Is this the truth behind the ascension of Blue Star?
It turns out she wasn't the last ascendant of Earth, but a pioneer!
Qiu Ci stepped forward and stood in front of the giant tree. Sure enough, the next moment, as if sensing the aura of the three thousand Great Dao Laws on her body, the branches of the giant tree immediately shimmered with light, and the dazzling light illuminated half of the void.

A fruit shimmering with iridescent colors appeared on the branch, growing to the size of a palm before the branch curved downwards towards Qiu Ci. She stretched out her hands, and the fruit landed steadily in her palms.

Holding the shimmering, iridescent fruit in her hands, Qiu Ci felt remarkably calm. This was the Origin Fruit, the only fruit born from the very origin of this great world, and something that could allow one to completely transcend this world and leap to a higher dimension.

Qiu Ci did not absorb it directly, but instead put it away. He looked up at the giant tree in front of him again and sighed after a long while.

It's time to understand the cause and effect of Earth's fate and reunite with our fellow human beings.

With a thought, she transformed into a gust of wind and flew into the giant tree.

fairyland.

Juanshan habitually looked up at the still blue sky. Three thousand years had passed. He had waited in the Immortal Realm for three thousand years, but the Nine Heavens had never opened again. He had gone from being full of hope at the beginning to feeling only melancholy now.

Will the Venerable Master return?
