Chapter 322 - 313: Finale_2
Within the light orb, scenes can be seen: the marketplace of Chentang Pass, the walls of Xiqi, the Mount Tai of Yin Jiao’s Divine Enthronement, and women weeping in the midst of war. These scenes are not static; they flow, change, and simultaneously present different possibilities.
On the day Xiqi City fell, Ji Fa might have died or might have escaped; Yin Jiao might have revitalized Shang Tang or might have failed and died; the old woman whose bracelet was stolen by a soldier may have despaired and died, or might have survived.
All possibilities exist simultaneously.
"Four-dimensional prototype." Tathagata slowly stood up, the Dharma Image behind him beginning to automatically gather Buddha Power, "You’re too bold."
"I have to be bold." Nezha’s voice was calm, but cold sweat was already seeping from his temples, "In a three-dimensional world, there’s only one path; if you take the wrong one, you can’t turn back. I want to give this human world more choices."
Before finishing his words, he loosened his grip.
The light orb did not fall to the ground; it hovered in mid-air and began to slowly rotate.
With each rotation, it grew larger, and the surrounding scenes twisted along with it — rocks began simultaneously existing in multiple locations, the wind blew from all directions at once, even time began to confuse itself: Tongtian Sect Leader saw the motion of drawing his sword just begin and also saw the sword already sheathed again; Tathagata heard himself say "Amitabha Buddha" and also heard the words not yet spoken.
"Seal it!" Tongtian shouted fiercely, and the Four Immortal Slaying Swords finally unsheathed, transforming into four sword lights slashing toward the light orb.
The sword light hit, yet didn’t hit — at the moment of contact with the light orb, they split into countless sword shadows, each cutting toward different possibilities. Some shattered the light orb, some were swallowed by it, while others bypassed it... all results happened simultaneously, meaning nothing actually happened.
Tathagata joined his palms together, the Thousand Hand Dharma Image simultaneously forming seals, with tens of thousands of Buddha lights surging toward the light orb like a tide.
However, upon entering the light orb’s range, the Buddha light began to flow backward, to reverse itself, and even self-cancel — under the rules of the four-dimensional space, attack and defense can exist simultaneously, cause and effect can be reversed.
