Those who face the wall, but are in the Nascent Soul stage.

Chapter 449, "Poetry Clouds" (Part 1)
The edge of the Milky Way, the galactic halo region.

Time is completely frozen inside the dead-line sphere.

For higher-dimensional energy bodies, this space with infinite curvature also stops the vibration of all higher-dimensional strings. Whether it is a matter god, an energy god, or even a rule god as powerful as them, they are in a state of almost complete stillness in this infinite curvature.

At the moment Luo Qing was swallowed by the death line, Li Bai had a chance to escape. The reason he followed Luo Qing into the death line was only to repay the kindness of giving him the sword.

When the gifted sword accidentally fell into the second death line and was destined to be lost forever, Luo Qing punched the death line directly, causing one end of the death line to shift tens of thousands of kilometers, retrieving the immortal sword that had fallen into the death line and returning it to Li Bai.

The shock made Li Bai's skin crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

If the Stellar Will hadn't escaped so quickly in the Rule God's steed, Luo Qing would have rescued the Absolute Rigid Body, the Regular Pentahedron, and the half-mirror before giving chase.

Unfortunately, the God of Rules escaped too quickly, and Luo Qing couldn't care less about the two unlucky guys. He could only quickly follow to prevent the other party from escaping.

During the pursuit of the God of Rules, Luo Qing also communicated with Li Bai and reached a consensus.

The Rule God named 'Three Thousand Feet' is actually a 'Singularity God', a renowned and powerful Black Forest God in the universe. It is a top-tier Rule God in the entire universe and a powerful henchman recruited by the will of the star. It once withstood a million years of relentless pursuit by a Risk Remover and retreated unscathed.

This is precisely why, when faced with this singularity god, the alliance of gods like Li Bai was completely defeated in a single encounter.

The difference in combat power between different Rule Gods is huge. It was already quite remarkable that Li Bai was able to withstand the fierce attack of that Rule God for a short time. At least compared to the mirror whose body was torn apart, his situation was much better.

However, Luo Qing's sudden display of the ability to defeat the God of Rules and move at superluminal speed was something Li Bai had not expected.

However, the self-destruction of this singularity god after its death exceeded everyone's expectations, forming a massive death line.

Although it is called the "death line", it is not deadly in itself. It may seem that it takes a long time to escape after falling into the death line, but with the death line itself as the reference point, even the longest time is just a moment.

As the death line enveloping Li Bai gradually dissipated, Li Bai's thoughts shifted from stillness to motion, and various ideas gradually emerged. Finally, he slowly awoke.

"Has the death line spread into a slow fog?"

This was Li Bai's first thought upon regaining consciousness.

"The universe must have existed for tens of billions of years, right?"

This was Li Bai's second idea.

Where is Luo Qing?

This was Li Bai's third idea.

Li Bai opened his eyes in a silence as sharp as shattered diamonds, still holding the eleven-dimensional immortal sword in his hand.

A beam of photons was drifting past Li Bai's eyes at an extremely slow speed of one millimeter per second.

Speed ​​of light: 1 mm/s

"The speed of light is so slow."

Although the speed of light within the slow fog had dropped to one millimeter per second, Li Bai's true form, the high-dimensional energy body in the form of an origami field, had recovered to the thinking speed of eleven-dimensional light speed. However, Li Bai's three-dimensional body projection was still confined to this speed of light.

Li Bai took about five seconds to blink.

He then spent about eight minutes completing a turn within the slow fog.

The eleven-dimensional immortal sword seemed unaffected by the death line, remaining as pristine as ever.

Li Bai could sense that the speed of light was slowly increasing. In the short time it took to turn around, the speed of light had increased from one millimeter per second to two millimeters per second.

Under the constraint of the speed of light, Li Bai struggled to move.

Apart from the extremely slow-moving photons, the entire world was completely dark.

After a few more minutes, the speed of light increased from two millimeters per second to three millimeters per second.

As if it had been accelerated three times, the photons flying in a straight line in front of us finally sped up a bit.

This extremely low speed of light made Li Bai very uncomfortable. He almost revealed his true form, a high-dimensional energy body constructed through [vortex] and [parallelism], which took the form of 'paper'. This was Li Bai's true form, the [paper folding field], composed of approximately ten thousand high-dimensional sheets of paper.

It is precisely this special structural form that allows Li Bai to stand out from most energy gods and be at the top of the energy god hierarchy. If he had encountered another rule god instead of that singularity god, he could have had a chance against him.

The body composed of ten thousand "blank sheets" kept turning, forming a layer of blurry white light, like a book, completely protecting Li Bai's three-dimensional body.

With the protection of the higher-dimensional entity, Li Bai also regained some of his mobility.

Gao Weili looked around, trying to find Luo Qing's figure.

When he fell into the death line, he was only a few dozen meters away from Luo Qing. Luo Qing should have been nearby, but the speed of light was too slow at this moment. By the time those photons flew into his eyes, Li Bai had already walked four or five meters away.

This powerful poetic genius, who uses stars as his chess pieces, is groping around like a blind man.

Enveloped by his true form, the high-dimensional Li Bai moved at a terrifying speed of four to five meters per second, performing a movement approximately a thousand times faster than light in this world where the speed of light is 3 mm/s.

Soon, relying on his memory, Gao Wei Li Bai arrived at Luo Qing's location, but couldn't find him. He then searched aimlessly in the surrounding misty space, finally touching a cold fingertip.
The human finger appears to be Luo Qing's.

"Wake up."

As the origami field spread, Gao Wei Li Bai's thoughts covered Luo Qing's direction.

No one replied.

"It seems that the speed of light is too slow. Human brainwaves can only be transmitted at a speed of one centimeter per second. Without a high-dimensional energy body as his main body, he probably wouldn't be able to complete a full thought process within a year."

Gao Wei Li Bai pondered
He wanted to pull Luo Qing directly over, let his main body envelop the other party, and restore the other party's ability to think.

With a forceful tug from Gaowei Li Bai's force field tentacles, the finger quickly flew towards Li Bai at a speed close to five meters per second, exceeding the speed of light.

But soon, Gao Wei Li Bai realized something was wrong.

Too light.

And why is this finger...spreading?
Li Bai caught Luo Qing's "finger," a finger that had once been able to cause faster-than-light movement by striking space. Now it was curled up, and half of the palm still bore the scorching bloodstains from piercing the singularity god, but no spiritual power flowed through it anymore.

These are Luo Qing's severed limbs.

No one could see Li Bai's horrified expression.

Time is nailed to the ground here, the remains of the singularity god hang seven steps away, the broken divine body is completely shattered, and the crystalline fragments still contain the last trace of resentment before the star's will dissipates.

The will of the stars is dead, the singularity god is dead, so who killed Luo Qing?
Within the death zone, all is silent; who could possibly lay a hand on a murder?
The fierce sword light that Luo Qing unleashed in a certain direction was still suspended in mid-air, transforming into a pale golden arc of energy. The arc was still spreading outward at a speed of three millimeters per second. This sword light seemed to be the very sword light that Luo Qing had unleashed before his death, aimed at that unknown enemy.

Apart from that, all that remained was the pitch-black death line, gently cradling his almost completely reduced corpse within it, as if he were merely asleep.

Only then did Li Bai notice that Luo Qing's corpse, Luo Qing's severed limbs, and Luo Qing's shattered nascent soul were also expanding and dissipating outward at an extremely slow speed, far exceeding the speed of light, reaching a terrifying fourteen millimeters per second.

When Li Bai awoke and found Luo Qing, the basic particles that made up Luo Qing had expanded to a height of two meters, which made Luo Qing somewhat distorted.

“No, no, everything is wrong.” Gao Weili Bai was horrified.

How could Luo Qing, who could kill the Singularity God with a single punch, die here without any resistance?
As Gaowei Li Bai studied Luo Qing's corpse, he quickly discovered that Luo Qing's diffusion speed was completely centerless. In other words, it was not the distance between particles that was being generated, but the space between particles that was being created out of thin air!

The particles are not spreading; it is space itself that is expanding!

The principle of spatial expansion is exactly the same as the principle of cosmic expansion!

Just then, Li Bai finally discovered the truth about the so-called "slow fog zone".

Near Luo Qing's corpse, at least several hundred energy spirits were scattered and their souls were destroyed.

The high-dimensional energy bodies of these high-dimensional gods were completely shattered. It was the high-dimensional energy leaked out after their deaths that created a massive torrent of high-dimensional energy, tearing a crack in this deathly space and increasing the speed of light from zero to a few millimeters per second. But where did so many energy gods come from?
There were familiar auras of several star gods inside... Were these all Black Forest Gods?
Gao Wei Li Bai took a half step back, sensing everything around him in disbelief.

Li Bai then realized that the endless death line had not evaporated into slow mist at all! The reason he was able to wake up was entirely due to the deaths of these energy gods! A large number of high-dimensional energy gods sacrificed their lives to create a slow mist bubble with a diameter of about fifteen kilometers within this massive sphere of death lines!
At the edge of this slow-moving mist bubble, there is still an endless dead line!

“Luo Qing…” Gao Wei Li Bai looked at Luo Qing, who was expanding and dispersing continuously. His voice could not resonate in the dead line, but could only turn into fine energy ripples that brushed across Luo Qing’s unresponsive cheeks.

Because the diffusion process had been going on for several tens of minutes, Luo Qing's face was almost distorted.

"No."

Li Bai gathered up Luo Qing's indistinct corpse, then uncovered several of his original forms and wrapped Luo Qing in them. During this process, he discovered that Luo Qing had completely shattered into a state of quarks.

Moreover, this is a relatively large part of Luo Qing's body. His torso and head are here, but his limbs are missing. Luo Qing's death was extremely gruesome, almost torn to pieces.

Li Bai began to gather Luo Qing's limbs, which had been shattered into elementary particles.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Bai collected all the basic particles that make up Luo Qing, and then pieced them together in the origami field to create the shape of Luo Qing.

Up quarks and down quarks form protons or neutrons, which then recombine to form atomic nuclei. The nuclei and electrons then form new atoms, which in turn combine through chemical bonds to form the macromolecular structure of the human body, ultimately reforming a complete anatomical structure.

However, at this time, Silla Cheong was still completely dead.

There was not a trace of spiritual energy present, as if all spiritual energy had dissipated completely.

Because a large number of Luo Qing's particles had been completely annihilated into energy, even Li Bai was unable to collect Luo Qing's complete body at this moment. In the end, he only managed to piece together about 87% of Luo Qing. Finally, Li Bai used his own high-dimensional energy to convert a small amount of matter and pieced together 100% of Luo Qing.

But this didn't seem to work, and the other person didn't wake up.

Li Bai tried to use time reversal on Luo Qing, but it had no effect.

But thanks to Li Bai's efforts, Luo Qing was finally able to return to the state she was in just before her death.

At this moment, Luo Qing was expressionless, seemingly holding a non-existent sword in his hand, aiming at an enemy he could not defeat. He maintained this posture, his expression indifferent, but his body was as light as a cloud without gravity. His robe was still covered with silvery stardust, and the hole in his chest, burned by dark energy, remained in the forward thrusting position.

But who is his enemy?
The corpse of Luo Qing, which had been painstakingly formed, began to spread uncontrollably again.

Only then did Li Bai fully realize why Luo Qing was spreading so rapidly.

"Dark energy!"

In his shock, Li Bai finally noticed that the entire Slow Mist Space was immersed in an extremely high concentration of dark energy, the total amount of which was even higher than the total high-risk energy of the more than 400 Energy Gods!
Dark energy itself causes space to expand!

Moreover, the dark energy had already lingered and enveloped Luo Qing's corpse like a malignant tumor.

The high-dimensional Li Bai is currently immune to spatial diffusion caused by dark energy, so he has not noticed this.

The negative pressure effect generated by dark energy exceeds the four fundamental forces that make up Luo Qing's matter itself. This dark energy, which has been continuously stolen by thinkers for about 138 billion years through [parity non-conservation], is now continuously acting on Luo Qing itself.

'The Nascent Soul stage is not the Mahayana stage. Two hundred and twelve years of continuous cultivation is still too short, while the universe's accumulation spans a full 13.8 billion years. Oh well, just like last time, let's perish together. It's all the same anyway.'

In the darkness, Li Bai seemed to hear Luo Qing's last bitter laugh before his death.

It was precisely because of the negative pressure effect of dark energy that Luo Qing's body, which Li Bai had painstakingly reassembled, began to swell and break down again. One atom after another flew out of the molecular structure, then disintegrated into deeper protons and neutrons, and finally disintegrated into quarks under the negative pressure effect.

Then, it began to spread into the distance at a speed of 13 millimeters per second.

Gao Weili Bai stared blankly at all of this.

Luo Qing's corpse was turning into countless particles and disappearing before his eyes.

Gao Wei Li Bai reached out to grab it, but how could he possibly catch it all?
"No, something's not right. The energy inside the dead line should be zero, so where is the dark energy coming from? Why is there dark energy everywhere here?"

Li Bai was well aware of the characteristics of dark energy and did not understand its origin. Moreover, this dark energy directly affected every basic unit that made up Luo Qing, which prevented the recombination of every particle in Luo Qing from the root.

Besides dark energy, Li Bai soon discovered many traces of battle in this slow-mist space, and even traces of antimatter.

"Antimatter? Where does that come from?"

Looking at the large number of dead energy gods nearby, as well as the remaining antimatter and dark energy, Gaowei Li Bai vaguely guessed what was going on.

Poor Ye Banxu's front seat does not ask the common people or ghosts.

Gaowei Li Bai sacrificed a blank sheet of paper to reshape time in this place, gaining access to images of the past and seeking the truth.

However, due to the low energy level within the slow fog, the time Li Bai could rewind by expending a huge amount of high-dimensional energy was only a short segment. As a result, the amount of information he could obtain was not much, or even pitifully little.

But enough is enough.

Gao Wei Li Bai gritted his teeth as he stared at the blurry photon image.

Within a second of the appearance of the Death Line, a large number of energy gods from the Black Forest faction emerged from outside and jumped into the Death Line sphere without hesitation. Subsequently, these energy gods used some unknown means to move slowly within the Death Line where the speed of light is zero.

Luo Qing also broke free from the shackles of the death line with brute force, regaining his ability to move like an ordinary person.

The Black Forest Gods tried various methods to attack Luo Qing, but none of them worked. Later, they tried to completely annihilate Luo Qing with a large amount of antimatter, but Luo Qing himself had both photon and quantum states and was not afraid of antimatter annihilation.

In the end, nearly half of the nearly one thousand Black Forest Gods were slaughtered by Luo Qing with a single sword. The energy gods fled in all directions on the death line. The slaughter was utterly devastating, the sky darkened, and rivers of blood flowed.

Even a new Rule God was nearly killed on the spot by Luo Qing.

But then a seemingly infinitely large black shadow appeared. This shadow used almost endless dark energy to wash over Luo Qing's origin. Luo Qing's spiritual power surged, and his magic power, far surpassing that of a Golden Immortal, burst forth. He attempted to fight against the opponent with the power of a half-step Hunyuan Wuji realm.

An indescribable surge of energy nearly shattered the death line.

At this point, the photon image shattered and could no longer be reproduced.

But the outcome of the confrontation is already quite clear.

Li Bai soon found another sword in the distance from Luo Qing's corpse... or rather, in the 'corpse mist'.

Li Bai sensed a familiar aura emanating from this sword, as if it were of the same type as the immortal sword in his own hand.

It is Luo Qing's natal spirit sword, the Three Green Sword.

During the pursuit of the Black Forest Energy God, this natal spirit sword transformed from a quasi-immortal sword into a true immortal sword, and was wielded by Luo Qing under the name [Qing Sword] to fight against the gods.

However, the current [Qing Sword] is also in the same situation as Luo Qing, constantly expanding outward at a speed of fourteen millimeters per second. It is obviously affected by the negative pressure effect of dark energy and has fallen into a similar fate to the universe - infinite expansion.

Luo Qing is dead.

Qingjian is dead.

This is due to the limitation imposed by the slow-moving mist bubble within the dead-line sphere. If placed in a three-dimensional universe, Luo Qing and the immortal sword, affected by dark energy, would immediately expand at a speed exceeding that of light.

Just as the universe is expanding at superluminal speed under the negative pressure effect of dark energy, the enemy must have used this move after realizing that it could not annihilate the basic particles that make up Luo Qing, causing Luo Qing to spread infinitely and be distributed in every corner of the universe, making it impossible for it to condense again.

Luo Qing, who died in this state, was beyond saving even if a god came.

Despite having vaguely seen all of this through the rewind of time, Li Bai still couldn't understand how the black shadow and Luo Qing could move freely in the completely still dead line.
Even if Li Bai burned another page of 'blank paper' to try and completely bring the local space into an anti-entropy state, he would not get the answer. Two ten-thousandths of the origin was already an unbearable consumption for him.

The only thing consumed on this page was seeing a few more blurry fragments.

Moreover, the image would shatter instantly every time it touched that dark figure.

"It seems we won't see the truth."

Gao Weili Bai was bathed in Luo Qing's omnipresent corpses, his expression filled with grief.
