Chapter 143 The White Silver City

Inside the castle, Li Cheng颐 chatted freely with his two senior brothers, and also entrusted the Sect Leader of Xuanji, who was with him, to the care of the two.

Although the two were incredibly jealous, they had to admit that the spirit of mutual assistance within the Tianju Pavilion was strong.

Qingming decided to be responsible for sending Li Cheng颐 to the battlefield, while Yuan Su stayed to settle the Sect Leader of Xuanji. For convenience, everyone simply called her Xuanji.

"Because the Eternal Life is too dangerous, there's no time to delay. I'll take you directly through the multi-dimensional tower's long-distance teleportation gate. It can go straight to the battlefield." Qingming swiped his hand in the air.

"Now, let me tell you about the battlefield situation." In the air he swiped, an irregular black map automatically appeared, floating motionlessly.

A small green dot lit up in the center of the map.

"This is our Tianju Pavilion," he explained, pointing to the small dot.

He then pointed to a red dot in the distance.

"This is the battlefield. The distance between them is about 20 billion light-years. It's not far, but you know what it would be like if we flew there ourselves."

"In this scale, every centimeter is 100 million light-years. The depth of the color indicates whether the spacetime era of the battlefield is in the past, present, or future. White means it's in the past, black means it's in the future. Because multiple Omniscient Ones have taken action, the future cannot be crossed. The spacetime of the battlefield is mostly fixed from the beginning and will not be easily changed, which is quite safe for us ordinary people."

He smiled. "At least you don't have to worry about not even being able to launch an attack."

Yuan Su, standing beside him, laughed.

"He once encountered an Omniscient opponent on the battlefield and couldn't even launch an attack. As soon as he attacked, time would rewind to the moment he attacked, and the attack spell could only stop inside his body."

"That's not even the worst. Many saints who were with me were directly rewound countless years, reverting to the original small chunk of planetary aggregate along with their own saintly world inside their bodies..." Qingming shook his head, looking as if he couldn't bear to recall it.

"Was the entire world rewound?" Xuanji finally couldn't help but ask. Aside from the forbidden knowledge, she had understood the rest more or less.

"That's right. Saints are unsoiled and indestructible, immune to all tribulations, so they're not afraid, but their worlds are! How can anyone withstand being rewound hundreds of billions of years in one breath?" Qingming said helplessly.

"Time is just a calculated scale concept created by us living beings. In reality, everything only changes, and only the truly infinitely powerful Omniscient Ones can luxuriously release energy without limit, forcibly distorting and rewinding the changing states of anything," Yuan Su explained.

Xuanji listened, half-understanding. Although she was a saint, she was encountering many things for the first time and didn't understand them at all.

"Let me put it this way," Li Cheng颐 added from the side. "If I use unlimited energy to transform your current body back to infancy in one breath, that's rewinding your personal time. If I rewind everything in the space around you in the same way, that's rewinding the time in that area. Does that sound simpler?"

"..." Simple my ass!

Xuanji was speechless. Although she understood, she was also shocked by the luxurious consumption and usage of such energy.

Seeming to see her shock, Qingming nodded with emotion.

"Surprised, aren't you? This is the realm of our masters. Theoretically, we are infinitely powerful to mortals, but that's an infinite power at the world level. Our worlds and dimensions will continuously absorb matter from the surrounding Black Sea and transform it into energy to supply us. As long as the world and dimensions are not destroyed, our power will naturally be infinite. But..."

"But there's a limit. Our limit is the limit of the world and dimensions. Using it too quickly or too much will instantly drain everything," Yuan Su nodded. "But the Omniscient Ones have true eternal and infinite energy. Omniscience is omnipotence. They understand everything, and the ways they obtain infinite energy are much, much more numerous than ours. When many, many infinite energy paths converge, it naturally far exceeds our output. Not to mention there are higher-level methods..."

"Alright, enough said." Qingming stood up. "It's time to go. Let's stabilize Junior Brother's situation first."

The other three also stood up.

"Then I'll trouble Senior Brother to take Xuanji into the sect first," Li Cheng颐 cupped his fist and said.

"Easy, easy," Yuan Su said with a smile.

"Let's go." Qingming put his hand on Li Cheng颐's shoulder, and his whole body suddenly shrank.

The two of them shrank into two black dots out of thin air, then completely exploded and disappeared like bubbles.

Qingming's dimension shrinking was very strange.

Li Cheng颐's eyes blurred, and everything around him turned black.

Then, countless faint gray solidified patches, like stickers on a black wall, appeared beside them and quickly flashed past.

Most of these patches were spheres. Large spheres, medium spheres, small spheres, all kinds.

Most of them were a group of small spheres aggregated together, looking like scattered building blocks.

Qingming grabbed Li Cheng颐's shoulder and flew forward rapidly.

"This is my dimension. At the level of a Dimensional Demon God, I can easily distort the corresponding dimensional information of anything with a thought. In essence, it consumes very little consciousness. You're still an embryo now. Once you complete your complete form, you'll know that powerful Dimensional Demon Gods can distort many, many things in an instant. That's what it means when they say saints and below are all ants."

Qingming explained as he flew.

Before long, the two of them stopped, the darkness quickly dissipated, and they exited the shrinking dimension.

When Li Cheng颐's vision cleared, they were already standing in a large temple built of black giant rocks.

In the center of the hall, a black vortex more than ten meters high was suspended.

At this time, a large number of colorful streamers were constantly entering and exiting the vortex, obviously teleportation travelers like them.

"This is the place. Be careful to restrain your consciousness and do not release it casually. This distance requires crossing the circulation blockade zone. Once it spreads out, it may instantly tear apart the consciousness you extend."

"Understood," Li Cheng颐 nodded.

Qingming nodded, held his shoulder, and the two of them simultaneously transformed into a black light and rushed into the vortex.

The feeling of long-distance teleportation was difficult to describe.

At least for Li Cheng颐, it felt like entering a huge bottle filled with mucus.

He could feel the bottle shaking wildly, being squeezed. But because of the fluid action of the mucus, he was not affected much by the force.

One second, or even faster.

The surrounding mucus quickly receded. The surroundings were empty and suddenly bright.

A huge silver-white wall came into Li Cheng颐's view.

The wall occupied all of his vision.

Upwards, boundless. Downwards, also boundless. The same goes for the left and right.

In the Black Sea void, thousands of kilometers away from them, this silver-white wall, like an insurmountable giant dividing line, blocked Li Cheng颐 and Qingming on this side.

There were vertical bulges on the wall, like the hideous gray-white patterns of a spine.

Dense gray insects, like centipedes, grew on the patterns.

These insects constantly emitted strange hissing sounds, waving thousands of long, curved scimitar arms, and directing the surrounding aircraft to different entrances of the city wall.

Each of the insects was thousands of meters long. They were wearing tight-fitting black robes, and most of their thousands of arms were rolled up.

Their mango-like heads were covered with dense, bubble-like blood-colored small eyes.

Any aircraft that dared to sneak in and out of the city wall could not escape their scrutiny.

"Those are the Thousand-Eyed Insects. Their eyesight can see through most shielding materials. Even saints cannot stop their eyesight from penetrating. Look carefully, those with the words 'Inspector' on their robes are the high-level Thousand-Eyed Insects." Qingming carried Li Cheng颐 closer to the city wall, explaining through voice transmission.

"What about the high-level Thousand-Eyed Insects?" This was Li Cheng颐's first time on the battlefield, and he was a little nervous.

This was not an ordinary battlefield, but a true great battlefield belonging to Engraving level, Divine Fire, Saint, Dimensional, and even Omniscient levels. The danger factor was arguably the strongest.

"High-level Thousand-Eyed Insects are all saints. This race actually belongs to the World Worm race. They are a world-destroying race that is born by parasitizing their embryos deep within dead-angle worlds and absorbing the core heat of the dead-angles. Most of them are extremely irritable and easily angered," Qingming said simply.

"So, don't mess with them, right?" Li Cheng颐 understood.

"It's good that you understand. They are the same race as Ancestor Tianhong. If it's not necessary, don't take the initiative to provoke them. Anyway, as long as you follow the rules, they won't cause you trouble for no reason," Qingming nodded.

"Understood," Li Cheng颐 nodded.

He stopped talking and scanned the giant city wall as he followed Qingming closer.

"What is this city wall?"

"It's the White Silver City. The Eternal Cause and Effect city wall built by our masters," Qingming explained.

"What do you mean?" Li Cheng颐 didn't understand. What is Eternal Cause and Effect?

"As the name implies, it means that he spent a lot of effort to build this city wall, which prevents all enemies on the other side of the wall from crossing it. They must first defeat this wall before they can invade the Tianju Pavilion territory. This is the concept of cause and effect."

Qingming looked at Li Cheng颐, who was still a little confused, paused, and continued to explain.

"To put it simply, because there is this wall, there is an inside and outside, and there is a distinction between danger and safety.

"So, even if all the groups outside you bypass this wall by other methods, they will not be able to attack and harm anything on this side, because you have not defeated the Cause and Effect city wall. Without cause, there is no effect. Even if you cross this wall, you will not be able to cause established facts here. Do you understand?"

Hiss.

Li Cheng颐 immediately understood.

Exaggerated.

This method, this spell.

"That means as long as you are inside this wall, you are safe?" he asked.

"Yes, this is the conceptual field determined by the master here, but it has a range. The specific range is all areas within one light-year around the White Silver City wall."

Li Cheng颐 was speechless.

Is this the method of the Omniscient Ones?

For the first time, he felt that his previous fights were really like babies fighting each other, too petty.

He raised his head and stared at the approaching silver-white city wall.

As the distance closed, he could see more and more clearly the countless ancient scars on the wall.

This wall itself was exaggerated enough, but what level would it take to leave scars on it?

He couldn't imagine.

The black light formed by the two of them merged into one of the colored torrents entering the city wall, and quickly flew into the wall with other aircraft.

Inside the huge silver-white passage, various aircraft slowed down and began to receive scanning beams for inspection.

The cultivators standing on flying swords began to take the opportunity to take out food and drink to replenish their energy.

The mages riding magic pets seized the time to sit cross-legged in meditation and adjust their bodies and minds.

The heavily armored giant mechs floated forward motionlessly, waiting for inspection.

There were also strangely shaped twisted creatures, noisy and seemingly communicating, like a large group of out-of-town tourists, constantly emitting loud, shocked sound waves, as if they were amazed by everything they saw.

"You can't even be quiet when you're going to the battlefield. Can you hillbillies from the countryside shut up!"

A woman in golden armor standing on a streamlined fish-shaped golden sailboat couldn't help but scold loudly.

"Who are you calling a hillbilly!?"

Among the monsters, something that looked like black silt with bat wings grew a mouth and retorted loudly.

"I'm talking about you. What's wrong? Hillbillies are hillbillies. If you haven't seen the world when you enter the city, then shut up for me!" The woman in golden armor looked disdainful.

"You think you're the only one who's entered the city? So many people around didn't say anything. Who do you think you are to dare to speak so arrogantly!?" Another zebra with nine heads flew out and bared its teeth.

"What's wrong, you have a lot of people? Let's go out and fight one-on-one for a while!" The woman in golden armor directly challenged.

"Come on! Let's fight one-on-one!! Everyone fight her one-on-one!" A group of monsters instantly merged into a ball, turning into a twisted ball covered with countless messy eyes.

Countless overlapping sound waves came from inside the ball.
