Crossover: Is this how it's sewn?

Chapter 59, Question 057: Three Thousand Questions

As the energy belonging to different people continued to separate, the vampire's influence on the celestial phenomena disappeared. It was just dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the ancient castle, dividing Da Yu and Xu Zhenqing into two parts of light and darkness.

Da Yu's handsome face was bathed in light, as if a goddess sat on a throne, while Xu Zhenqing hid in the shadows, his eyes half-closed.

"Don't talk big. I once met the Feathered Serpent God. At that time, He had been asleep for a thousand years because His faith had dried up. After His revival, He still had great power." Da Yu scoffed at Xu Zhenqing's words, believing that the authority of a single mask was simply not enough to deal with all the gods.

"Coming from faith, we will return to faith." Xu Zhenqing replied briefly, then smiled and remained silent no matter how much the other party pressed him for answers.

Da Yu was getting a little frustrated with the riddle-monger's behavior, and finally asked another question: "Okay, I'll ask another question. How do you solve my identity problem? I'm still an unregistered person in this world."

"What, you, the dignified sheriff of District 13, don't you have any special methods?" Xu Zhenqing had actually already let Red Queen handle this matter, but wouldn't it be better to tease Dayu a little?

……

In tracing the animals possessed by the twelve talismans, Xu Zhenqing sensed that their powers had spread to various parts of the earth. However, since the earth is a sphere, it's possible that the power of multiple talismans might appear in one place.

The talisman seemed to have the ability to prevent being tracked. Xu Zhenqing only obtained the general location of the dragon talisman, which was in a coastal city in Dongda, the same city where the plane crashed last time.

The Dragon Talisman is Shendu's natal talisman, so it should be the primary target. The Rat Talisman is the next priority, and then we'll wait for Shendu to return to the real world to give him a surprise.

The vampire Xu Zhenqing did not want to investigate its origin. This world was Earth with the worldview of the Lord of Mysteries, and among the eight ancient gods was Lilith, the progenitor of vampires. She was truly terrifying and beyond his current ability to resist.

Some ancient tombs are even more forbidden zones. If the tomb owner cultivated the Heaven-Covering Technique, then it is very likely that he possessed the Reincarnation Seal and followed the path of Corpse-to-Immortal Transformation. In addition, the ancient gods and monsters in the Ba Chang universe worldview, who seem to have little expressiveness, are also terrifying upon closer inspection. Before Earth fully awakens, tomb raiding is one thing, but if we wait any longer, the little broken planet will not be very peaceful.

At that time, Xu Zhenqing and Hu Bayi were robbing—no, I mean, archaeologically discovering—an ancient Han Dynasty tomb. Inside was a divine spear used for defense, and the tomb owner had already turned into a corpse, making it extremely dangerous.

It was after this incident that Xu Zhenqing decided to retire from the criminal life; he couldn't keep his life in this line of work if he wasn't tough enough.

There's also the dialogue between Imp and Shendu. These dragons from different worldviews seem to be connected in some way in this stitched-together world. These things may very well involve the mystery of the world's origin.

Even without considering these factors, there are countless questions regarding the whereabouts of the Eight Immortals, their current state, the roles of black energy and righteous energy in the universe, and one's own role in the universe.

The more one understands this world, the deeper the waters become. The world on the surface is like the tip of an iceberg. This makes Xu Zhenqing extremely eager to know the truth. Otherwise, even if he is immortal, he can only become a pawn of an unknown entity, and such a possibility is absolutely unacceptable.

How the potential extraterrestrials on Earth managed to deceive the will of Heaven remains unknown. Even more chilling is the question of whether the Dark Forest Theory from The Three-Body Problem applies to this world, and to what extent.

Xu Zhenqing knew too little. Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival; arrogance is. If he thought that everything would be fine as long as there was a "horror" meme, then he should have escaped this universe as soon as possible.

But is it safe to leave this universe?

This world has two major worldviews: Sacred Ruins and Shrouding the Heavens. Heaven knows how these two obviously related worlds were stitched together. You should know that Sacred Ruins Earth was the experimental field created by the Black Hand to cultivate the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the Ye Heavenly Emperor. It was only after it was abandoned that the Chu Heavenly Emperor and Chu Loli were cultivated.

When you escape this world, you'll find that you're either a chaotic being, a bizarre progenitor, or just a lowly minion under their command.

Moreover, the universe is destined to restart. It seems that five eras have passed from the chaotic ancient times of the Perfect World to the post-desolate ancient times of Shrouding the Heavens, but the world era of the Red-Haired Old Monster is divided according to the strength of the people, which is only a few million years in total, at most ten million years. In the face of the lifespan of the universe, it is not enough at all.

Even if you live as long as the heavens, you'll still be like Cheng Xin, immortalized by death. Leaving the universe will almost certainly mean certain death. Whether the Zero-Returners' idea of ​​restarting the universe is reliable is still unknown. Just stay in your small universe and eke out a living, waiting for someone to knock on your door and offer you warmth.

There's also Marvel's Celestials and the Living Tribunal; I wonder which Marvel universe it is that's stitching together this world.

It's truly a blessing that Little Broken Planet has survived this long. However, we still don't know what kind of person Zhang Bairen, the God of Heaven on Earth, is. He is a figure from the era of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

Speaking of Shrouding the Heavens, it is unknown whether Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang are still alive. Both of them are the spirits of the Emperors of Shrouding the Heavens. Feng Hou Qi Men and Feng Hou are related. Feng Hou was also Emperor Huang's subordinate. The Qi of the one below one person has countless connections with the other party. What is the relationship between the innate Qi and the origin of Shrouding the Heavens?

There's also Yao Yao in the Sacred Ruins. She's a descendant of Ye Fan, the Heavenly Emperor Ye. But the problem is, Ye Fan has only just stepped onto the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, and Xu Zhenqing even helped him pay the parking fee. We still don't know if Yao Yao is actually on Longhu Mountain, or what the situation is like for the Ye family's imperial lineage.

More recently, there's the Supreme Being of the Heavens. In this world, there are different cultivation methods. Will the other party still be limited by lifespan? Will they attack the path to immortality five hundred years later? What are these legendary figures of all time like? Will some extreme families have branches that cultivate other methods? Will they cultivate other methods as well? What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing so?

The latest novel is first published here!

Can one person handle the tenth challenge against the progenitor of the strange forces? What if the spring can't be stopped? Will the strange forces sweep across all the heavens and myriad realms?

What is Earth called in the universe? Does it have any friends? Well, let's think about what enemies it has. Whether it's the Red-Haired Old Monster or other authors, it seems that Earth is an enemy of the whole world. How can Earth rebuild its glory amidst these complex relationships? To be honest, Xu Zhenqing wasn't sure either. The only thing he was confident about was being able to escape to the edge of the universe with his loved ones.

These things can be a real headache.

It's difficult to explain clearly based solely on the original plot; each case must be analyzed individually.

Give up on thinking about it anymore; thinking about it any further will only scare you to death. It's better to take one step at a time and make do.

In short, without the "horror" meme, I couldn't stand this ditch world for even a second longer; it's just too damn abstract.
