Chapter 421 - 223: Soul Ascension
"Damn it, why did you enter the Extraordinary faster than me? Huh? Alright, I’ve invested so many times, it’s yours, it’s yours."
"Wow, is this a birthday gift? These amazing fireworks must have cost a lot, right? Is what I gave you enough? Thank you, this is the best birthday I’ve ever had."
"Hey, Baiyi, why haven’t I heard you talk about investments for almost a year? What happened? Failed? You can’t fail, here’s additional investment, quickly, get the research going, also, I want to see fireworks, I must watch them from the tallest building, go prepare!"
The images flashed quickly, conversations emerged, Baiyi’s eyes were filled with laughter and emotion. Ten years old was a turning point; life was miserable before ten, but it improved afterward, with a rapid increase in quality of life.
When the scene of the icy snow appeared, Baiyi knew that rapid growth was about to start.
When the memory showed that wolf, and the dagger stabbed into the wolf’s heart, the scene suddenly plunged into a cycle of war and combat.
When he saw himself lying in bed, the image abruptly shattered.
Endless emptiness once again enveloped him, followed by.... more, faster images.
More images flowed like a tide; this no longer seemed to be his memory—it seemed like someone else’s life.
Children appeared one after another, growing rapidly through various outrageous eras, with gigantic battleships sailing the world Star Sea.
A terrifying shell that could destroy a star with one shot was fired, and the sound of a sharp sword resounded, slicing through the image of a collapsing world, with a young man hovering in the star sea, crossing the void with a powerful body.
A more intense war began, and one magnificent era after another appeared and ended rapidly.
Baiyi’s eyes grew increasingly serious; these images became more and more exaggerated until a certain balance broke, and the world suddenly turned to nothingness.
When light appeared again, he saw the growth of different children, but this growth was somewhat different from before.
They grew even faster, beginning to maintain something, like a kind of illusion, or an inscrutable record.
As the images developed, a group of terrifying beings gathered, dressed in various attires and covered in the mysterious aura of God.
Someone seemed to sigh, and the entire scene vanished once more.
Another set of images appeared, becoming faster and increasingly incomprehensible.
When the time reached a certain point, all the images disappeared together.
Instead, strange buildings appeared one after another, along with an ancient-looking temple.
Baiyi felt something, looked down, and saw his own body was unbelievably azure.
He seemed to understand something, walking towards the temple with a solemn gaze, seemingly realizing what Saints were... and what this place was.
This was a group truly seeking eternity, with space-time turbulence, dimensional turbulence, space turbulence, dimensions, alternate spaces, Prime Material Realm.
Layer upon layer of space composed this world.
In the scholars’ research, the power of space-time turbulence forms dimensional turbulence, creating the initial bizarre, and the power of the bizarre within dimensional turbulence formed the turbulence of space.
And the turbulence of space, under certain coincidences, formed some special rules.
Finally, these rules combined with various powers to form various dimensions and the topmost layer, known as the World.
Originally, the space-time turbulence was enriched over time, representing that the world was infinite.
And indeed, it was so.
But with the continuous outflow of the Power of the Bizarre, the things born in the world became increasingly rich, those born from the Power of the Bizarre gradually created living beings.
The diversity and peculiarity of these beings increased, and civilizations began to emerge.
With the rapid development of life, this once infinite world started to become limited.
People began to unceasingly pursue eternal life, power, and all things beneficial to living beings.
This was originally fine, but as the world grew larger and larger, and life became more abundant.
When life’s pursuits exceeded the bizarre power from dimensional turbulence entering reality... with a boom, dimensional turbulence erupted, rules began to collapse, and an era ended.
Life, driven by greed, destroyed that infinite nascent world.
And with the collapse of the uppermost world, time swiftly passed through hundreds of thousands, millions, or tens of millions of years, and those rules would incubate anew, beginning once again to birth life.
However, no matter how many times, the greed of living beings would never end, and in one era after another of destruction, a profession organized by an undying strongman, who collapsed but did not die in the era, emerged: Saints!
They began to restrict the world’s development, or rather, to wield martial force to overwhelm the entire world: technology, magic, sealed when they said sealed, some civilizations destroyed when they said destroyed.
In short, slow development was fine, but any attempt at a shortcut was crushed.
Moreover, those capable of becoming Saints all possessed absolute talent, only those with the ability to lead an era might know things from countless epochs ago.
The lifespan of an age began to lengthen due to the emergence of these Saints...
But greed could not disappear, meaning that the last era still disappeared in unending greed in the river of history.
