Chapter 1572: The Eternal Constant
Ye Guan returned to the tiny pagoda, where Sang Mei was wandering around aimlessly.
With the wager over, the tiny pagoda had been unsealed. And like everyone who had entered before, Sang Mei couldn't hide her fascination with it. Occasionally, she'd even engage in idle conversation with the tiny pagoda.
When she saw Ye Guan arrive, she smiled brightly. "Ye Guan, the little swordsman, this pagoda of yours is truly something else. I've never seen anything like it."
Ye Guan chuckled. "You can just call me Ye Guan, Lady Sang Mei."
She nodded. "Alright then, Ye Guan, the little swordsman."
Sang Mei looked around, eyes sparkling. "This place contains a brand-new form of time! Until now, time was considered an eternal constant. But I can see that constant has long been shattered."
"Eternal constant?" Ye Guan asked, curious.
Sang Mei smiled and explained gently. "It means something that exists unchanging and everlasting. Time is one example. In its presence, all living things are variables, shifting, impermanent. They are born, they die, and sometimes, they are born again. But time itself... remains untouched.
"That is what we call a constant Law. But now, a brand-new form of time has appeared before me. And that changes everything. It means someone powerful enough has redefined what time is. And if time can be redefined, then this so-called eternal constant... was never truly eternal to begin with."
Ye Guan murmured, "I see..."
"Redefining time isn't the scary part. What's terrifying... is allowing two versions of time to exist simultaneously. Normally, the eternal time constant would reject such an anomaly. But here, it hasn't done that. That means... whoever created this new time... has overpowered the eternal constant." Sang Mei turned to look at him, eyes glinting. "Do you know what that means?"
Ye Guan shook his head. "No idea. But it sounds powerful."
