Beyond the Timescape

Xu Qing had seen many, many gods. He had even seen a few True Gods. However... he had never seen anything like Young Lord Aurora as hē stood there on the primeval motherworld, emanating such mightiness.

The mutagen was extremely strong and terrifyingly active, causing all surrounding things to ripple and distort. Hīs godly will was like a sharp blade that caused heavenly bodies to tremble and universes to vibrate. What was more, the holy, golden light emanating off hīm was equally impressive.

At the same time, hīs form was changing! Black crystals spread out across hīs chest, becoming like a suit of scale armor. And upon the crystals were complex and ancient designs. The designs formed a network like a star chart, every part of which pulsed with an astonishing godly will. Astonishingly, if one looked closely, it would become clear that the lines which made the design were actually hīs true name!

From within the design stretched a dense host of blood vessels that connected to the primeval motherworld. As Young Lord Aurora rose to hīs feet, it looked like hē was actually an integral part of the motherworld!

The land of flesh around hīm churned. With the planetary skin to serve as heaven, and blood raining down, all heaven and earth was crimson, serving as the perfect complement to hīm. The anguished howls of the motherworld formed part of the background. As for the rise and fall of the surrounding lands, they corresponded to Young Lord Aurora’s breathing. It was the same with the pulsing of the subterranean meridians.

Taken altogether, everything became hīs terrifying personhood!

It was not merely the personhood of a peak True God. There was also the presence of the true name, the connection to the primeval motherworld, and even more deeply... the spark formed by the godbane! This personhood could step through the doorway of something truly paramount! A personhood like this would have a profound impact on the surrounding world!

Even when just barely sensing it, Xu Qing felt that familiar sensation of his fleshly body being a separate entity that wanted to split away from him. After his cultivation base reached a certain level in the past, he had ceased to ever experience that sensation. But now, in the presence of Young Lord Aurora, he felt his breathing becoming unstable. His body felt like it was being ripped apart, and his eyeballs seemed to swivel of their own accord.

Though he was able to forcefully suppress such effects, the infection of a god that he was experiencing caused something like chanting to explode in his ears. The chanting of a godly voice filled every part of him, turning into distortions and madness that wanted to destroy all life.

At that moment of crisis, Xu Qing unleashed all of the ringsource he had to suppress the abnormalities. Those abnormalities became a destructive, unstoppable tempest that threatened to wipe away all forms of resistance within him.

But then a voice spoke into Xu Qing’s soul. It was a godly voice that came from himself, and from his own true name from earlier.

“Xu Qing.”
