High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 419 Dark under the lamp

Deep within the dimensional rift—a downstream branch of the river of time.

There is no matter, no space, only flowing "concepts".

A river, radiating a silvery-white light, surges through nothingness. What flows in its waters is not water, but the rise and fall of countless civilizations, and fragments of memories from countless lives.

Qin Feng, relying on the ethereal ability of the Taixu Divine Vein, struggled to walk along the riverbank, which was the edge between reality and history.

With every step he took, he faced immense resistance. It was the repulsion from the corrective forces of the universe. If it weren't for the Prison-Suppressing Divine Bone suppressing his own mass, and the Frozen Abyss Brain maintaining absolute rationality, he would have long been lost in the endless bubbles of history.

Finally, he saw that node.

At the most turbulent eddy of the river, a palm-sized piece of brass-colored metal floats suspended—[Cause and Effect: Profound Yellow Copper].

It is rusty and looks unremarkable, but any "historical waves" that try to wash it away are calmed down the moment they get close.

It represents a "fixed number".

Beside the bronze plate sat the mysterious old man.

He wore a faded gray Taoist robe and held a fishing rod without a hook, casting his line into the river of time.

Qin Feng stopped in his tracks, refraining from making a move rashly.

Because in his analysis of the Cold Abyss Brain, all of the old man's values were "???".

This means that the other party's level of life is not below Qin Feng's, and even... not within the scope of this dimension of understanding.

"Young man, you're early."

The old man did not turn around; his voice was aged yet peaceful, as if it had transcended countless ages.

"This piece of copper suppresses the 'effect' of this timeline. If you take it away, the cause and effect will be disrupted, and countless futures downstream will collapse."

Qin Feng stared at the copper piece with a determined look in his eyes.

"The future is not certain."

"If the future collapses because of the loss of a single copper piece, it means that the future itself is very fragile."

Qin Feng took a step forward, and his aura began to rise.

"I need to forge a cosmic body, and this is an essential piece of the puzzle. If you, senior, obstruct me, I have no choice but to offend you."

The old man finally turned around.

It was an extremely ordinary face, but its eyes reflected the birth and death of the universe.

He looked at Qin Feng and suddenly smiled.

"Stop me? No."

"I'm just waiting for you here."

"I am a wisp of remnant from the previous ruler of the universe."

Qin Feng's pupils contracted slightly.

The previous ruler of the universe?
The old man put down his fishing rod and pointed to the piece of dark yellow bronze.

"This piece of bronze was my 'causal anchor' back then. I failed, my body became the universe, leaving only this little thing to suppress time."

"Take it if you want it."

"But you need to think it through. Taking it means taking over the cause and effect of 'maintaining the order of the universe'."

“This weight is ten thousand times heavier than the Prison-Suppressing Divine Gold inside your body.”

The old man stood up, and his figure began to become ethereal.

Go. Go and finish the road I left unfinished.

"If you can reach the eighth step... perhaps we will meet again."

After saying this, the old man completely vanished, turning into starlight and merging into the river of time.

Only the fishing rod remained, which transformed into a stream of light and entered Qin Feng's sea of consciousness, becoming a "time imprint" that protected his soul.

Qin Feng bowed deeply in the direction the old man had disappeared.

"Been taught a lesson."

Qin Feng reached out and grabbed the piece of [Mysterious Yellow Copper].

This time, there was no fierce resistance, nor any outburst of energy.

This divine gold was as calm as a piece of ordinary iron.

But when Qin Feng tried to refine it, a sudden change occurred.

boom! ! !
Countless images instantly flooded his mind.

That is the causal thread connecting all the people he has killed, saved, and all the living beings with whom he has had interactions.

Countless voices roared in his ears:

"You killed me...you must pay with your life..."

"Thank you for saving me... I will repay you..."

Good causes and bad consequences, like a tangled mess, entangled his soul, trying to drag him into the abyss of reincarnation.

"cause and effect?"

Qin Feng sat cross-legged by the River of Time, his Cold Abyss Brain operating at its maximum, maintaining absolute clarity.

"Throughout my life, Qin Feng has only sought to achieve clarity of thought."

"Kill those who deserve to be killed, and save those who deserve to be saved."

I will bear the consequences of my own actions.

"melt!"

Qin Feng pressed the Xuanhuang Ruotong into his brow.

The divine metal transformed into a stream of dark yellow energy, which did not merge into flesh or bones, but instead... merged into his destiny.

It constructed a "Mysterious Yellow Tower" deep within Qin Feng's soul.

As the refining process progressed, Qin Feng's aura became increasingly ethereal.

Originally, he would have had to contend with resistance in the long river of time, but now, he seems to have become part of the river.

The waves crashed against him and parted automatically.

The past cannot shake him, and the future cannot deceive him.

He is the sole coordinate of "now".

three days later.

Qin Feng opened his eyes.

His eyes now had a layer of dark yellow undertone.

【Cause and Effect · Mysterious Yellow Copper】—Refining complete.

Acquired traits: [Immune to All Laws], [Space-Time Anchor].

Even if someone went back in time and killed Qin Feng as an infant, he would still exist now. This is because his karma has been sealed by divine metal, making him independent of the timeline.

This is truly "transcending the three realms and outside the five elements".

"Sixth piece, complete."

Qin Feng stood up, feeling the sensation that, while not directly increasing his strength, made his presence feel incredibly "real".

"Just one more piece is needed."

"chaos."

Qin Feng looked at the last red dot on the star map.

That is the dirtiest, most chaotic, and most dangerous place in the universe—the subspace.

"The dining table of the evil god Tzeentch?"

"I hope you can serve me a hearty dish."

The seventh piece of primordial divine gold—[Chaos·Undefined Lead and Mercury].

Characteristics: amorphous, distorted rules, probabilistic manipulation, evolution of all things.

Deep in the subspace—a labyrinth of constant change.

Qin Feng tore through the barriers of the real universe and directly crossed into the subspace with his physical body.

The laws of physics completely fail here.

Upside down, time flows backward. Sometimes a single step takes you a thousand miles, sometimes it turns you into a baby. The sky is the color of vomit in a riot of colors, the ground is paved with countless screaming faces.

But Qin Feng walked very steadily.

The Prison-Suppressing Divine Bone suppresses the body, the Void Divine Vein adapts to the space, the Cold Abyss Brain is immune to mental pollution, the Undying Heart provides an infinite shield, and the Causal Copper Body locks in one's own state.

With the blessing of these six divine metals, he was like an icebreaker in this chaotic land, forcefully smashing through all the distorted rules.

"found it."

Qin Feng's gaze pierced through the layers of illusions, looking towards the center of the maze.

There was a huge crystal dining table floating in the void.

On the dining table were various bizarre "foods": a still-beating star, a screaming soul, and... a mass of liquid metal that kept changing shape and emitting a rainbow of light.

【Chaos and Uncertainty of Lead and Mercury】.

And sitting at the dining table was a huge figure.

It has the head of an eagle, wears a colorful robe, and holds a twisted staff in its hand.

It is the most powerful deity under the evil god Tzeentch—the Lord of Change, Carlos.

Note: Although it is a projection, in the subspace arena, its power is infinitely close to that of the true evil god.

Carlos has two heads, one looking into the past and the other into the future.

At this moment, both heads looked at Qin Feng simultaneously.

Left Head: "You've come; it was expected."

Right head: "You won't succeed, which is to be expected."

Left head: "Your fate ends here."

Right head: "Or become the new Chosen One of Chaos."

Their voices overlapped, creating a strong sense of mental interference and logical confusion.

Qin Feng walked to the dining table, didn't even glance at Carlos, and directly reached out to grab the lump of lead and mercury.

"Foresee it, my ass."

"I'm here to collect the dishes."

"Rude."

Carlos tapped his staff.

Divine skill: Probability manipulation.

"Your chance of obtaining the divine gold is currently 0%."

"Right now, the probability of your heart stopping is 100%."

Om-!
An invisible, eerie fluctuation descended.

Qin Feng's outstretched hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if entangled by countless "possibilities of failure." His heart also skipped a beat, as if it were about to stop beating.

This is a causal weapon that directly alters reality.

But next second.

The Xuanhuang Ruotong within Qin Feng's body trembled.

"Cause and effect? Playing with cause and effect in front of me?"

Qin Feng sneered. "If I say I can get it, the probability is 100%."

"If I say I won't die, the probability is 100%."

Supernatural power: cause and effect, fixed number.

A dark yellow light erupted from Qin Feng's body, forcefully dispelling Carlos's probability fog.

Qin Feng's hand continued forward, firmly grasping the constantly deforming mass of divine metal.

"what?!"

Carlos's two heads screamed simultaneously.

"This is impossible! In the warp, I am the rule-maker! How could you possibly lock onto causality?!"

"Because my karma is stronger than your fate."

Qin Feng received the divine gold and turned to look at Carlos.

"Since you enjoy calculating probabilities so much."

"Then calculate how many seconds you have left to live?"

Enraged, Carlos caused the ever-changing labyrinth behind him to collapse, transforming into countless magical storms that crashed towards Qin Feng.

"I am the master of all changes! I am an immortal conceptual entity!"

Qin Feng did not dodge.

He pressed the [Unfixed Lead and Mercury] in his hand directly into his chest.

Then he clenched his fists.

The left hand holds the ultimate cold abyss, the right hand holds the ultimate red copper.

The two fists joined together.

Self-created fusion technique: Chaos Great Millstone.

Rumbling--

A massive millstone made of ice and fire energy appeared in the subspace, rotating in reverse and engulfing Carlos's enormous body.

"The concept of immortality?"

"Then I'll grind you down to nothing, leaving not even a concept behind!"

“Ahhhh——!!!”

Carlos let out a piercing scream. His magic, his prophecies, his rules—all were rendered useless before absolute power.

ten seconds.

Just ten seconds.

This ever-changing master, who struck fear into the hearts of countless civilizations, was forcibly ground into pure chaotic energy by Qin Feng and dissipated in the subspace.

Deal with the guy who was in the way.

Qin Feng sat directly on the crystal dining table and began refining the last piece of divine metal.

【Chaos and Uncertainty of Lead and Mercury】.

This is the most difficult piece to refine because it has no fixed nature. It is metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. It is the origin of all things and also the end of all things.

"melt!"

Qin Feng mobilized the six divine metal powers he already possessed, constructing a perfect cycle to trap the [Unfixed Lead and Mercury] at its center.

The lead and mercury transformed into a seven-colored torrent, instantly merging into every cell of Qin Feng's body.

Its function is to integrate and evolve.

It acted as a perfect catalyst, completely merging the six distinct forces within Qin Feng's body—gravity, space, energy, entropy, life, and causality—into one.

It is no longer a simple patchwork, but a perfect unity.

Qin Feng's body began to change.

It transforms into pure metal one moment, into burning flames the next, and into clear, flowing water the following moment.

Ultimately, it was fixed in the form of a mortal body.

But this body is no longer a carbon-based life form.

This is the body of the universe.

Every cell contains the energy of a miniature galaxy.

Qin Feng opened his eyes.

It was as if two universes were spinning in his eyes.

Seven metals combined into one.

The Great Perfection.

He stood up, and the violent energy storm in the warp subsided automatically around him.

His current power has already reached the ceiling of dimensions.

"I feel like... I could tear this universe apart with my bare hands."

Qin Feng clenched his fist, feeling that sense of omnipotent control.

but.

Just as he was about to detonate the singularity within his body and ascend to become the Lord of the Universe.

His movements stopped.

A strong sense of loss welled up inside me.

It's like a perfect jigsaw puzzle, but when you finish it, you find that one piece is missing.

"wrong."

Qin Feng frowned.

"Bones, flesh, meridians, brain, heart, cause and effect, chaos... seemingly perfect."

"But... what about the vessel for the soul?"

"The ruler of the universe must not only have the body of the universe, but also the 'central will' to govern the universe."

"Right now, I am merely a powerful vessel."

"Without that core, at the moment the singularity was detonated, my consciousness would dissipate and transform into the unconscious Heavenly Dao."

He didn't want to become the Heavenly Ruler.

He wants to be Qin Feng.

Just as Qin Feng was wondering...

The seven divine metals within his body suddenly resonated.

A subtle guidance surfaced in his mind.

That's not a red dot on the star map.

That was a coordinate... right next to him.

Qin Feng suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the real universe.

To be precise, it's looking in the direction of the Holy Terra.

More accurately... he was looking at that place he had passed by countless times, but had never truly understood.

"The eighth piece of divine metal..."

Qin Feng's voice carried a hint of disbelief.

"It turns out it's neither on the edge of the universe nor in subspace."

"It's always been there."

【Origin·Primordial Purple Gold】.

Characteristics: The origin of all things, the carrier of will, and the embodiment of authority.

Deep within the sacred Terra—the origin of human civilization.

Or rather, it is the core of the planet called "Earth"!

"It's darkest under the lamp."

Qin Feng gave a wry smile, then his eyes flashed with an unprecedented brilliance.

"It turns out that the Earth itself is the last key."

"No wonder that although the human race is weak, it can always produce miracles."

"No wonder all races want to conquer Terra."

"In that case..."

Qin Feng stepped out of subspace, tearing through dimensions, and instantly leaped towards Terra.

"go home."

"Go get my... crown."

The real universe, the sacred Terra.

At this moment, the human race was immersed in the joy of a golden age.

Sudden.

The entire space of the Terra galaxy began to tremble violently.

It wasn't an earthquake; it was the tremor of space itself.

An indescribable aura of majesty descended from the void.

The aura was so powerful that it even caused the star-class warships in orbit to lose power, and made the knees of all the powerful figures involuntarily bend.

"Enemy attack?!"

The defense command sounded the alarm.

"No...it wasn't an enemy attack."

The speaker stood on the palace terrace, trembling with excitement, gazing at the sky.

"It is the Venerable One... no, it is God!"

"He is back!"

In the sky.

Qin Feng's figure slowly appeared.

At that moment, he was merely standing there, and the surrounding space and time began to automatically evolve into water, fire, and wind.

The reflection of the seven divine metals behind him transformed into seven halos of light, resembling a creator god.

He ignored the crowd's kneeling and worship.

His gaze pierced through the earth's crust, looking deep into its core.
