They flew down toward the ancient Immortal Realm. Its ti reversal slowed as the end approached, as the Immortal Realm itself grew smaller and smaller.
Senior, how long did you rule the Immortal Realm? Hui asked, no longer able to stop himself. Master only lasted a few hundred years in the mortal realm, at best. So why does this Immortal Realm have a primordial era? If the Golden Immortal took over that recently
Ages. Absolute eras. I have been Heavenly Emperor for thousands of years. The Golden Immortal looked at Hui. It was only in the depths of my boredom that I rembered my dreams as a mortal, and thought to alleviate that boredom by summoning that world here.
Ah. So Master that is, the Will of the World, only had to move after he began to disrupt the world. It makes sense. The Will of the World would not inherently reject any given Heavenly Emperor, as long as they didnt disrupt the balance of the world. But once he did, the Will of the World created an avatar for itselfMasterand so we find ourself here.
He quietly rubbed the hand that wasnt grabbing at the Golden Immortals grip on his head together and dropped a seed into the void outside of the chaotic ti. Theres no guarantee this works, but at least Ive got sothing. A small chance. Id make more, but I cant make enough that the Golden Immortal wouldnt be able to catch them all, so its better to make just one and hope he overlooks it.
From here on out, its my job to keep looking for opportunities. Now that Im out of the chaotic ti, there should be more chances for to find a foothold sowhere to pass my thoughts and mories forward!
Ive learned so much. As long as I find a way to pass this forward, this loop counts as a massive success.
Though ugh. I really did want to defeat the Golden Immortal, but Im starting to feel like it might not be possible. Hes just too powerful, and due to the loop, and him controlling the loop, its impossible for to catch up. Even if I pass forward knowledge, all it takes is one lost loop for to return to square one.
But thats okay. Theres still more knowledge to gain in this loop, and if things go the way Ive been nudging them to, I might win the one piece of information I desperately need in order to put the Golden Immortal in checkmate!
After all, if you cant win, then at least put your opponent on the back foot. If he wants locked in a loop forever with him, then fine! Im going to lock him in with . What I lack right now is any sort of foothold or power. But, if it all goes according to plan
The Golden Immortal landed on the primordial Immortal Realm and marched on. Caught by the face, Hui stumbled backward, most of his body dragging on the ground due to the Golden Immortals short stature. After a mont, he gave up and let himself be dragged. Im not going to fight yet, so I might as well save my energy.
I give up. Youre too annoying. Im done with this stupid cat and mouse ga, the Golden Immortal grumbled.
Oh, really? I was just thinking about my next move, Hui said cheerfully.
The Golden Immortal glared at him. Give up. You cant defeat . How many tis do you have to fail to understand?
Er, I dont think Ill ever give up, so Hui smiled sheepishly. Interesting. A weak point? I wonder if I can give him a heart demon. Hes already unstable, after all
Clicking his tongue, the Golden Immortal said no more. He dragged Hui in silence.
Eh, Senior, what are you doing? Where are we going? Hui asked.
Silence.
You know, you dont have to drag by the face. You must be straining that small hand of yours. Maybe you could drag by the collar instead? Hui suggested.
If I let go, will you fol/low on your own?
Hui thumped his chest. Senior, of course, of course. You can trust this small cultivator. Of course! Of course not, that is! Let go! Ill spread my seeds all over this ancient Immortalahem! I an, Ill leave lotus clones all over this Immortal Realm.
Even as he thought it, he dropped a few lotus clones behind them, tossing them onto the Immortal Realm. I have no idea if this will work, but it cant hurt to try!
The Golden Immortal shook his head. And you think Id believe you?
No, but a small cultivator can hope, Hui returned with a shrug.
Why did my opponent have to be you? I could handle facing a noble warrior, or a vicious demon, or an elegant scholar, but how what happened? What made you like this?
Ive always been like this, Senior. Senior should know.
The Golden Immortal snorted. Silence fell once more.
Around them, the Immortal Realms ti continued to wind back, so slowly as to almost flow at ordinary speed, except in reverse. Plants vanished, retreating into themselves, then dropping back into the earth. Behind them, the Immortal Realm fell away, leaving only a small disk of land behind.
There, the Immortal Realms ti stopped. A small disk of barren land, with nothing and no one, not even a scrap of plant life. Outside of the disk, primordial energy swirled, but within, only the faintest whisp of qi circulated.
In the center of the disk, a simple stone altar sat, plain and unadorned. It thrust up from the land, a natural rock formation carved roughly into a brutal shape. The Golden Immortal lifted up Hui and slamd him down on the altar. Instantly, gold lines spread out, in the air, on the ground, creating an orb of interconnected qi lines that circulated independently around Hui. The formation locked Hui down, freezing him on the altar.
Now. Behave, and beco the heart of my formation. Even if you fight, Ill force it through. I dont care anymore if it lowers the chance of success. I dont care if it might obliterate you, body and soul. Ill just gain a better comprehension of ti and piece you back together if I fail, even if it takes another thousand years, but Im so tired. I cant wait any longer and not even try. Sothing has to change.
Behave, and well connect these worlds anyways, no matter what you want!
Huis eyes lit up. Excellent. Exactly what I wanted!
