A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 667 The Tiniest Details

The sky is high and vast, dotted with countless stars.

Compared to the sky, the mountains and rivers on earth appear very small, not to mention the creatures that live among them.

But tonight, three figures enveloped in white light appeared to be falling to earth from a place higher than the sky.

One of the tall, slender men in blue robes, as he broke free from the clouds and approached the ground, suddenly opened his hands, breaking free from the white light around him. His speed slowed abruptly, and with a wave of his sleeves, he rescued the two people beside him, adjusted his posture, and slowly descended.

They landed in a field at the foot of the mountain, not far from farmhouses, a village bathed in the night.

"Oh dear, we used a high-end teleportation rune from the warband's inventory to teleport this time, and it still got taken down. We Reincarnators are really getting more and more unsafe."

The tallest of the three men had very short hair, a long face, bright eyes, thick earlobes, and a bluish stubble on his chin. He wore a simple, loose gray monk's robe.

As soon as he landed, he tapped his neck and complained a couple of times.

This person's name is Murong Changhai, and he is a member of the Beiming Squad.

The man in blue robes with his eyes slightly closed and a slightly chubby face was their captain, Qi Yungao.

Another white-haired girl with a long sword at her waist is also a member of the team, named Fang Baixue.

They belong to a medium-sized battle group under the [Eternal Life] battle group, and can be said to be the core backbone of that medium-sized battle group.

Within the Supreme Battlebands, the [Eternal Life] Battleband is known for its excellent atmosphere. As long as you pass the assessment and join, the benefits for official members are absolutely unbeatable.

When the Chaos Tide and the Secret Words orchestrated the massive collision of the main god's orbs, the main god's orb of the Immortal Warband, which usually maintained the most peaceful and detached relations with other warbands, was not entirely involved.

However, as more and more war zones were opened up between the Supreme Chapters, even the [Eternal Life] could no longer remain uninvolved.

The Beiming Squad's mission was to escort a batch of supplies belonging to their own battle group for relocation, but they were intercepted halfway through the transfer, and the squad members were scattered in different places.

Only the three of them were lucky enough to come together and arrive in this world safely.

"Stop joking. The supplies we're carrying are the most important batch. If those who intercepted us are after the supplies, they might also follow us here."

Qi Yungao's expression was not optimistic. When he lifted his eyelids, it seemed as if a thousand different kinds of currents of varying depths were floating and sinking, separating and merging, changing endlessly in his eyes.

He is a seven-star reincarnator who has broken through the "Qi barrier" and is now using a pure energy perspective to collect information about this world from the angle of energy changes at various levels.

Everything that exists leaves a trace, and energy contains records of everything.

This method of intelligence gathering is the most comprehensive and secure approach.

If there are strong individuals native to this world, perhaps they can use some of the local forces to deal with their pursuers.

If this world itself doesn't have any sophisticated power system, then it might have to abandon this planet and enter the vast universe to try and buy more time for its pursuers while waiting for reinforcements.

"Hmm? It seems there are several seven-star powerhouses on this planet, and there are even traces of quite a few seven-star powerhouses who have fallen in history. Not bad, not bad, the water is quite deep. It seems we can settle down on this planet directly."

Qi Yungao's expression softened somewhat, and he relayed the information he had just gathered to his two teammates.

The prevailing power system on this planet leans towards immortality and martial arts, and the most powerful force in the present era is the Tianmeng Empire.

However, this empire has only been established for less than a century. Its expansion has been too rapid and its methods too bloody. It has massacred countless cities and destroyed over a hundred countries, which has made it very unpopular. There are forces resisting them all over the world, and they have grown stronger in recent years.

The combined strength of the various rebel armies is now almost enough to rival the Tianmeng Empire.

"Isn't this the Yuan Dynasty? It also had people like Temujin and Kublai Khan, except that the dynasty it established wasn't called the Great Yuan, but Tianmeng."

Murong Changhai said, "If that's the case, then this world might also have a Zhu Yuanzhang. Worlds that emphasize immortality and martial arts often have the protection of destiny. Zhu Yuanzhang should be the one who was born in this era. If we go to his side, we'll have more room to maneuver."

Qi Yungao shook his head: "Currently, the most prominent entity in this world is still the Tianmeng Empire."

"If we were to join the rebel army, a single rebel force wouldn't be enough to provide us with sufficient assistance. Besides, I personally have a better impression of the rebel army. If we were to bring undeserved disaster to these rebels because of us, it wouldn't be in line with my aesthetic sense."

Murong Changhai nodded: "Understood. We'll find a way to sneak into the Tianmeng Empire and use them to fight the pursuers. No matter which side they die on, we'll be happy."

Qi Yungao laughed and said, "That's right, the information I gathered through Qi observation isn't detailed enough. Use my information as a starting point to observe the cause and effect, and see where we can intervene most effectively."

Murong Changhai's origins are unique. Although in terms of direct combat and his own cultivation level, he can only be considered to be at the peak of the six-star level, his true form is an eyeball from an eight-star multi-dimensional creator.

The original creator of the multiverse must have encountered some kind of enemy. After his true form was obliterated, there was no trace of him left in this eyeball. However, he managed to retain a bit of life and fell into an ordinary world, where he spent many years in Tieling.

Later, when the mountain was cleared, roads were dug, and railway tracks were laid, the eyeball was unexpectedly brought back to light and transformed into the appearance of an infant. It was adopted by someone and, although it did not understand cultivation, it still became a well-known semi-immortal in the area.

When he turned forty, he got into a car accident on his way to a blind date. He was chosen by the God Space and became a reincarnator, gradually discovering his talents.

The various battle groups under the command of [Chang Sheng] are particularly adept at cultivating these reincarnated individuals with unique backgrounds, giving them unexpected advantages in the same realm.

Murong Changhai's ability to observe cause and effect is in no way inferior to that of an eight-star reincarnator, although he can only observe and cannot directly intervene like a normal eight-star reincarnator.

At that moment, it seemed as if he was rubbing an invisible incense stick in his hand, chanting incantations, and closing his left eye. His right eye immediately became transparent.

The surrounding mountains and landscapes shrank rapidly in his eyes. Soon, the phantom of a planet appeared on the surface of his eyeballs, slowly rotating and then magnifying again, making some of the invisible causal threads on this planet become clearer and clearer.

To investigate cause and effect, it is impossible to only investigate information at the present point in time. We must trace back to the past in order to understand the previous causes, clarify the whole situation, and find the best entry point.

When Murong Changhai followed these threads to look back, he originally only intended to observe the cause and effect of the past few decades, which would have been enough.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he looked, an irresistible and enormous suction force suddenly surged forth, pulling his gaze toward a more distant past.

The illusory planets on the surface of his eyeballs suddenly increased in speed, and even more similar planetary images appeared, countless and densely packed, beyond counting.

He felt as if time was flowing backward, and in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years, millions of years, tens of millions of years, billions of years had passed.

By five billion years ago, these planets had even disappeared, replaced by scenes of the universe flowing backward.

Murong Changhai's body trembled, feeling as if he were being overwhelmed by an inexplicable fear.

That's because what he observed had far exceeded the limits of what his consciousness could accept.

What terrified him even more was that he could clearly sense that these things had exceeded his limits, even the limits that his own body, the eyeball from the multiverse creator, might not be able to withstand, yet he himself had not suffered any harm.

It's as if something compels him to observe all cause and effect, so it won't be destroyed until he completes this task.

So, what happens after it's finished?

Sometimes, observing cause and effect is itself creating a larger layer of cause and effect.

When he, the tool used to create new causes and effects, has completed his mission, will the force that drove him in the dark still care about his fate?

"Changhai! Changhai!!!"

A distant, seemingly ethereal sound, as if from the vacuum of space to the surface of nature, a roar of all kinds of primordial energy surged forth.

Qi Yungao decisively punched Murong Changhai in the eye, trying to block his vision.

But Murong Changhai was still trembling, as if trapped in an eternal nightmare, unable to wake up.

Fang Baixue suddenly drew her sword, and the exquisitely crafted crimson sword light lifted Murong Changhai's left eyelid.

Murong Changhai then woke up with a start, collapsed to the ground, and gasped for breath.

Qi Yungao hurriedly asked, "What happened? Could it be that among the local experts there is a master of causal calculation who took advantage of the situation to do something to you just now?"

"No, no, the problem lies in the world itself... the cause and effect of this world..."

Murong Changhai shuddered again, his breathing almost stopped, and it took him a while to recover.

Although he regained consciousness, in that final moment, he seemed to see the source of time in this world, and the thing that created this world.

It was a tangled mess of cause and effect.

It is not surprising that the strong create the world, but most of the creation powers are achieved by using the principles of yin and yang or the method of collapsing all forces to split open the chaos and create the source of time and light.

Before creation, there was no cause and effect in this world. How could anyone create the world using supernatural powers related to cause and effect?!

Even if someone were to suddenly have the idea to create the world using causal supernatural powers, in order to ensure the smooth evolution of causality, they would certainly need to have their physical body overseeing and maintaining it for a long time.

However, at that time, there was no sign of any powerful being present in the source of the light, and all the causal traces were so chaotic that they were beyond description.

The chaos is so great, and it continues to worsen. Even when the Chaos Sea experiences turbulence, it doesn't reach this level of disorder.

Such a chaotic cause and effect can somehow produce a world cluster that appears to be perfectly normal...

Murong Changhai simply couldn't understand what was going on!

"No, no."

Murong Changhai grabbed Qi Yungao, "Captain, the problems in this world are too great. Let's try to leave this world. At worst, we can just drift in the Chaos Sea and wait for rescue."

Qi Yungao frowned: "Leaving this world and entering the Great Void Sea is indeed possible, but we were interrupted during teleportation and fell into this world. No one can say for sure what the situation is like on the outside of this world now."

"What did you see that made you so anxious?"

Murong Changhai composed himself and recounted his experiences.

Qi Yungao said thoughtfully, "According to your statement, although this world group is strange from a causal perspective, the various world forms within this world group are still quite normal."

"The Time Source is something that exists at the level of the multiverse. We are just living on a planet within a single universe. As long as we don't use causal supernatural powers, we shouldn't resonate with that thing in the Time Source."

Murong Changhai hesitated and said, "This..."

Don't scare yourself.

Qi Yungao comforted him, "Anyway, it's perfectly normal for me to observe the world from the perspective of primordial energy. It's very likely that because your true form is the eyeball of a multi-dimensional creator, this kind of anomaly has occurred. And since your own realm is far from reaching that level, you find it incomprehensible."

Fang Baixue then said, "I'm only a six-star, but after the captain throws a punch, I use my sword to lift your eyelids, and you're able to wake up. The key to this is clearly your own supernatural power."

Murong Changhai's supernatural power can only be activated by closing his left eye and opening his right eye. If his right eye is covered, the power will be interrupted when he opens his left eye.

Since his supernatural ability mechanism can still function normally, it may mean that the inexplicable attraction did not exceed the level that his eyeball itself could withstand.

Murong Changhai thought this through, but he still couldn't be completely at ease, so he said, "But if we can't observe cause and effect, how can we intervene in the Tianmeng Empire?"

"If you want to shake off your pursuers, you don't necessarily need to infiltrate the Tianmeng Empire. Why don't you come here and have a chat?"

A clear voice suddenly rang out around them.

All three of them were startled.

Qi Yungao immediately sensed something and transmitted his voice to his teammates: "It seems to be a local seven-star expert. It looks like his seven-star cultivation is much more profound than mine. He may have captured a lot of information about us."

"I did hear your conversation, and I know a little about your background."

The voice laughed, "So, stop playing any tricks and be straightforward."

Qi Yungao said in a deep voice, "At least you should state your name first."

The man immediately replied, "I am Fengming Daoist, the master of the Fengtian Zhenwu Temple in Laojun Mountain."
