Li Chen has spent another century searching for Li Changcun, his cultivation stabilizing in the late Heaven and Earth Realm and his Minor Universe showing signs of life. He also learned that the Doomsday Beast Souls are fractured into factions. Meanwhile, in the Holy Realm, Guangming Saint questions Suan Tian about a young man's stubborn choices.

The Starry Universe is vast, and there are many lands of wonder that are hard to believe without seeing with your own eyes how these places display such craftsmanship beyond mortal capability.

Even on some barbaric planets, indigenous beings, though dull and unable to cultivate by nature, possess powers so terrifying to the extreme that they can battle Soul Realm experts, their instincts and innate power comparable to Innate Gods and Demons.

And now, Li Chen finds himself outside one such barbaric planet.

Not only this barbaric planet, but Li Chen also sensed that around this planet, there seemed to be many mists that even his Eye of the Dao could not penetrate.

When even the Eye of the Dao cannot see through, one cannot simply describe such a place as beyond craftsmanship; it’s a truly isolated sanctuary from the world.

If not for searching the causality thread of Li Changcun, Li Chen would likely not have noticed this barbaric planet hidden in the cosmic mist even if he crossed paths with it.

Without rashly entering the barbaric planet, Li Chen lingered outside, carefully studying the surrounding mist.

Soon, Li Chen discovered that these mists were unlike any material he had encountered before.

It’s a kind of strange material he had never come into contact with.

And this strange material could even block the gaze of the Eye of the Dao.

"In the great Cosmos, there is no end to wonders." To this, Li Chen could only sigh.

Looking at the barbaric planet, which had a land area covering more than seventy-five percent, Li Chen couldn’t help but show a contemplative look.

Just now, for a moment, Li Chen actually saw a shadow on this planet!

Li Chen could be sure that he was not seeing things.

At his level of cultivation, with the Eye of the Dao open, could he have blurry vision?

"Multiple Spaces?" Li Chen frowned: "But it doesn’t seem like it; though there’s a fluctuation in Space Law, it’s at most hiding a minor world attached to the Main World, and here, the old man’s causality thread is severed."

Causality threads exist in a cause-effect relationship unless the person had never existed, or like when Li Chen erased that Exotic Beast from the root on Tianchen Continent. Otherwise, the causality thread cannot be severed.

To say Li Changcun was silently erased from existence, Li Chen was the first not to believe it.

That old guy was someone capable of doing earth-shaking things wherever he went; how could he die so easily?

But just when Li Chen was puzzled, the Seven Realms Tome surprisingly spoke a word to hint to Li Chen.

"Dimension."

"Dimension?" Li Chen was startled and then suddenly understood.

Dimensional theories exist even in Low-Level technological civilizations.

Moreover, in the hearts of many cultivators, dimension is also a form of power.

Creatures live in three-dimensional space.

But within the three-dimensional space, there exists a fourth dimension.

That is time.

However, in three-dimensional space, time is a straight line, always moving forward, and the power of time is the power of the fourth dimension.

"You mean the old man’s causality thread was erased from the fourth dimension?" Li Chen said in a deep voice.

The Seven Realms Tome did not speak again.

But having received the hint, Li Chen took a deep breath.

Someone had erased the old man’s causality traces from time, which means that this person is at least an expert proficient in Time Law.

Moreover, why would the other party erase the old man’s causality traces?

Li Chen did not know, but what he had to do was to restore the causality traces and find Li Changcun again.

"Time—Reversal."

Li Chen’s five fingers formed a claw, as if grasping something, gently twisted counterclockwise.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

As if the clock was turning, a faintly discernible causality thread gradually appeared before his eyes.

...

Holy Realm.

The Holy Primordial Demon suddenly sighed deeply and slowly stood up.

In the old man’s eyes, there was a deep sense of helplessness.

"Senior Primordial Demon, you are..." Suan Tian couldn’t help but ask as he saw the Holy Primordial Demon stand up.

"Going home, to die." The Holy Primordial Demon’s voice was indifferent.

Suan Tian’s mouth twitched but did not speak further.

Guangming smiled and also remained silent.

Not until the Holy Primordial Demon walked the child to the door did Guangming finally speak, "Then I wish the Holy Primordial Demon success and enlightenment in the eighth life, resurrected successfully."

The Holy Primordial Demon snorted coldly, glanced back at this Dao Saint, who was even more ruthless and unfeeling than himself, not wanting to say any more pleasantries, and left with the child.

After the Holy Primordial Demon left, Suan Tian looked at Guangming: "Lord Guangming, that Li Chen kid..."

"I don’t know either." Before Suan Tian could finish, Guangming spoke first.

"Although I cultivate the Path of Reincarnation, have seen his past life, have seen his present life, and even seen his future. Yet, I am not omnipotent and do not know which way things will develop." Guangming said with an unperturbed calm.

"However, there is one thing I can assert." As he spoke, Guangming’s voice turned cold: "He is someone without a next life. Either this life achieves the peak, extremely brilliant, or he perishes, with even the Divine Soul completely erased. From that glimpse of the future, I have seen these."

Hearing this, Suan Tian nodded and did not ask further.

However, he knew one thing.

Guangming Saint of the Way had the highest expectations for Li Chen in the entire Holy Realm.

Otherwise, the Dao Saint would not have arranged that ’coincidental meeting’ at Three Lives Bridge for such an insignificant and nearly unappreciated little guy back then, nor would he have specially created ’an ancient dream’ in the Three Births River for that little guy.

When Suan Tian first encountered Li Chen, he did not hide anything and told Guangming Saint of the Way everything he had seen and heard.

Including the divination of Li Chen back then...

In Guangming’s eyes, oval lines gradually began to flow.

After a while, this renowned genius of the Seven Realms era, now a strong Dao Saint, slowly closed his eyes and gently said: "Suan Tian, return to the Starry Universe. The Doomsday Beast Soul will not actively attack for now, just keep an eye on the Era-Ancient Civilization, and notify me immediately if there is any movement."

"Yes, Lord Dao Saint." Suan Tian stood up, respectfully saluted Guangming, and then left the small courtyard.

Not until Suan Tian left for a while did Guangming open his eyes again.

However, at this moment, his eyes were full of complexity.

There was one thing he kept hidden from everyone, including the closest confidant, the Holy Primordial Demon.

In the future glimpse seen through reincarnation, there were two images.

One was a young man in a white robe, like a candle in the darkness, building a path of hope outside the ruined Starry Universe, with countless Starry Universe beings on the road.

The other image was of a young man in a black robe, amidst endless malice and an overwhelming aura of madness, slicing through the Starry Universe with a single stroke.

The people in these two images shared the same face.

"Between creation and destruction lies Yixin’s will..." Guangming murmured softly.
