Chapter 1 Crack

As the sun sets, the golden and crimson glow resembles a magnificent era about to fade away, burning with a final, defiant spirit in the closing moments, like a final burst of light before death, enveloping a stone valley.

Stone Valley is not very large. Even the ground is made of stone, hard and cold, with a metallic luster. It is like a series of stone mountains, shrouded in mist, hazy and indistinct, but each one has an indescribable mysterious power.

If you look closely, you'll feel that these stone mountains are condensed, as if they contain the power of the universe. But on the top of the highest mountain, there is a small figure.

He was dressed in rough linen clothes, was small and thin, and looked no more than five or six years old. He stood alone, hugging his knees and gazing up at the distant sky, calm and natural.

Around him, patches of light flowed and wandered, like transparent and flawless symbols, or like a great river, both dreamlike and ethereal.

"You've been watching for several days, what have you figured out..." An old figure climbed the mountain. He had his hands behind his back, was very tall and imposing, and had a head of light golden hair that was neatly combed. Although it was shiny, it had lost its proper luster and instead appeared slightly white, like an old man approaching his twilight years.

"I saw the life of an ordinary person."

"Tell me about it..."

The child on the mountaintop looked back, his face delicate and his eyes bright like two black gems. He looked at the old man whose face bore many traces of time and spoke expressionlessly, "A morning is like me now, full of vitality and vigor. The sunset now is like you, Grandpa, your life is coming to an end, and everything will come to an end in the darkness."

"A very apt metaphor, but will everything really end in darkness...?"

The old man smiled, gazing into the distance, his eyes deep and unfathomable, like the starry sky.

"The curtain falls inevitably. Heaven and earth revolve, the sun and moon alternate, and so on. After the curtain falls, a new life begins, which is also the natural cycle of heaven and earth."

The old man did not refute, his gaze remained calm, and he showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever. "You should leave. This place is not suitable for you."

"Where are you going? To become a slave, or to be devoured by beasts? Or to be eaten?" The boy looked up, a ripple of emotion emanating from his dark, bright eyes.

Six years have passed since he transmigrated to this foreign land. He doesn't know many people. Apart from the old man who adopted him, there is only one other person named Gu Yi.

He didn't know who his parents were in this life. The old man said that his parents died when they were passing through a vast wilderness and were killed by a ferocious beast. He was just born at that time and was lying at the intersection of the sunrise and the darkness. He was rescued by the old man who was traveling in spirit, so he also had a new name - Bai Ye (White Night).

"Return to the heavens, return to the homeland of your ancestors, return to the world where you were once defeated!"

"Nine days?"

"Over the years, I have never taught you or let you cultivate. Perhaps you have resentment in your heart, but no matter how long you stay here, I will not teach you any supernatural powers or cultivation methods. You will not grow here." The old man put his hands behind his back and looked into the distance. At the end of the valley, a short old man appeared silently and was coming towards them.

“I have never resented you. I was able to live peacefully for six years. Although those six years were dull and boring, they are my most unforgettable memories.”

An old man and a young man looked at each other; one was calm and composed, the other was frank and sincere.

This is the truth. Since I was born, the first person I saw was this old man in front of me. He raised me and took me in, giving me the most basic protection.

“Last night, a special spatial rift appeared between the alien realm and the heavens. It’s a rare opportunity; you can give it a try.”

"A spatial rift? Me?" Bai Ye pointed to his small face, incredulous. "Are you sure I won't be sliced ​​to pieces by the turbulence?"

Upon hearing this, the old man glanced at the dense array of Dao runes surrounding Bai Ye, and as he turned away, his eyes twitched almost imperceptibly. "You have some talent in the path of time and space, you might be able to pass..."

"I feel like you're trying to fool me."

"He was just a child I fed for a few years. He's dead, so be it." The old man stood with his hands behind his back, his figure growing increasingly dim. "This world is cruel and dark. Once you go to that realm, don't ever come back..."

"Why didn't you come back? If I survive this ordeal, I'll come back sooner or later. You yourself said you'd send me a wife!"

Upon hearing that clear child's voice, the old man paused slightly, three black lines instantly appearing on his forehead. At the same time, even his unchanging state of mind was stirred.

"Give me back my wife! With your skinny arms and legs, you couldn't even hold a sow!"

The short old man at the horizon arrived, skillfully patting Bai Ye on the back of the head. This man was named Gu Yi, a powerful supreme being.

"Who said that? Give me your granddaughter and see if I can ruin her!"

"Even if I gave it to you, you still couldn't break through my defenses." The old man raised his eyelids, glanced at Bai Ye, frowned, as if he remembered something, and exclaimed, "You're acting very strangely, kid. I treat you like an ancestor, but you want to be my grandson-in-law. What do you mean by that, little devil?"

white night:"……"

According to seniority, he should call Gu Zu Grandfather, and Gu Yi is indeed a junior, but can they be confused? Fortunately, Gu Yi put away his joke and became serious.

"Life and death are determined on this path. To go to that world, one must have the bloodline of the Nine Heavens, otherwise, one will be rejected by that realm."

Secondly, that crack appeared by chance, is extremely rare, and incredibly unstable. Even I couldn't pass through it, so the chances of you passing through it alive are even slimmer.”

"Since the old man adopted me, he shouldn't send me to my death." Bai Ye slowly stood up, looking completely ordinary, without the previous light of the Great Dao. He looked at the setting sun in the distance, his eyes filled with a sense of desolation and sadness, but more than anything, he was reluctant to part. Although Gu Zu was indifferent to him, he was actually quite good to him.

At first, when he learned that this was a perfect world, he was just dumbfounded. It was a place that did not follow reason and only valued strength. Great worlds could turn to ashes and eras could begin to cycle. In the face of a true calamity, even immortal kings were just larger ants and could not make a ripple.

Immortality and eternal existence are all jokes in the face of darkness. Compared to the true calamity, both the alien realm and the immortal realm become insignificant.

What is the purpose of Gu Zu letting him leave now? Or did the other party already see the appearance of the crack and believe that he could successfully pass through it?

Gu Yi glanced at him, put him away, and at the same time, a voice echoed in his mind, "I don't know if you can pass, but I hope you can survive."

Bai Ye remained silent, his gaze shifting as he looked around at the dark space. There were many people here, numbering around a hundred, including not only humans but also other races.

But they all have one thing in common: their ancestors all came from the Nine Heavens.

A sense of emptiness, numbness, and anxiety permeated everyone. They were unaware of their fate, what awaited them, and had no right to ask.

However, this emotion did not last long before it was released and all of it appeared in the outside world.

This is a very strange area. The runes of the origin of spacetime are like a vast sea, covering every inch of space. Above them, a transparent river with starlight is faintly visible, like a river of time, mysterious and ancient.

"Time is running out, the rift is about to close..." A figure slowly appeared, sitting cross-legged beside the transparent river, like an immortal king, appearing and disappearing in an instant, his majesty boundless.

But on his side, there was a black rift more than three zhang long, where the order of spacetime was densely packed, and the runes of the Great Dao flew wildly and violently, like knives, constantly rushing out, causing that immortal being to sway constantly, and even his body was constantly changing, as if he would grow old at any moment.

Gu Yi seemed to want to avoid suspicion, so he left after sending the people over, leaving behind only pale faces.

Even Bai Ye was the same. He mingled in the crowd without looking up, but he was certain that the terrifying being was an immortal, not a king.

"Pfft..."

Suddenly, a strange sound rang out, accompanied by a strong smell of blood. This abrupt change caused the hundred or so people present to tremble involuntarily.

At the same time, a sense of panic was spreading in everyone's hearts.

This is fate, a feeling of powerlessness and insignificance, the triviality of life, all vividly manifested in that crack.

At this moment, time seemed to stretch on endlessly. One person after another stood before them, as if awaiting the judgment of fate, from which none could escape.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Ye suddenly felt an emptiness in front of him, followed by a large hand. A vast divine sense swept through his mind, and a symbol resembling a golden spear was imprinted on it.

It was so dazzling and so enormous, like a pillar supporting the heavens and the earth, or as if it came from beyond the vast universe. It was covered with intricate patterns, radiating dazzling golden light, and filled with sacred majesty, as if it could tear the white night apart in an instant.

The brand was silent, hidden deep within his soul. At the same moment, a golden spear brand appeared on his right arm, as lifelike as a tattoo.

"No training... mediocre talent... Gu Yi is outrageous... I asked you to arrest some people, and what kind of wretches and scoundrels did you catch!"

A cold and imposing voice rang out, filled with disdain, which nearly made Bai Ye explode. But the next moment, he was thrown into the crack, like trash.

The rift was deep and filled with fragments of the Great Dao of Time and Space, as well as patches of blood mist. At the same time, Bai Ye also saw many creatures that had been churned up and were left with only severed limbs and broken arms.

The power of time was dense and relentlessly scraping against his body, like countless knives, leaving trails of blood, as if it wanted to slowly torture him.

"Am I going to die...?"

Bai Ye looked back at the enormous figure that was gradually receding into the distance. The figure was blurry, enveloped by immortal laws, and its face was completely obscured. All that could be seen was one living being thrown in after another.

This was an incredibly horrific scene, with corpses and blood mist everywhere. Many people didn't even have time to struggle before being pulverized by the power of time and space.

"So it still doesn't work..."

A tremendous sound rang out, silencing the world for a long time. The stronger one's strength, the greater the backlash. Even his clone was almost killed inside.

It's like a bottomless pit; no matter how many come, they all die. This is the fifth batch already, but it still doesn't work.

"It seems this plan has failed..."

"No... that little guy is still alive..."

Chapter 2 Descending Upon the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths

Indeed, Bai Ye was still alive at this moment, but rather than alive, it would be more accurate to say that he was only breathing. He silently watched as the seed-like spear marks gathered from all directions onto his right arm and merged with it.

These are the marks of the beings who died inside. Their marks have not dissipated, but instead are converging towards the White Night. Moreover, among those marks, there is a semi-transparent human figure. Judging from the outline, it is very similar to the immortal one outside.

"I see. I guessed wrong and missed this crucial point... The survivors may not have undergone cultivation." The transparent figure spoke, his tone kind and gentle.

Bai Ye didn't speak. At this moment, his body was torn to shreds, and he could only force his will to stay intact.

"Perhaps you have a chance to pass, but once you enter that realm, you will need to find something for me and the whereabouts of a few people."

"thing?"

"You don't need to know the specifics. When you get close, the mark will react naturally and tell you what to do."

"With my talent, what can I possibly do to help you even if I go to that realm?" Bai Ye asked rhetorically.

"I sent you here at such great cost not to kill you, but to have you hide in that realm, find some things, and at the same time, learn about the situation there," the transparent figure said.
