Back when Xiang Beifei was still in Jiuzhou, he intruded into the Five Regions Desolate Beast Research Base. At that ti, Professor Zhao Ruizhong, upon realizing he was aiding evil, decided to destroy those Beast Pill breeding bases, only to be discovered by the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage.
Accompanying Zhao Ruizhong then was a mysterious woman cloaked from head to toe, who said to Xiang Beifei, "You carry the scent of the Mustard Seed in Palm." It was the first ti Xiang Beifei had heard of the Mustard Seed in Palm!
Afterwards, that mysterious woman disappeared. Xiang Beifei initially thought she was from the Congji abyss, but later realized she wasn’t at all.
He didn’t expect the mysterious woman to appear at the world’s end!
"It’s you."
Xiang Beifei looked at the mysterious woman in front of him with surprise.
"How long has it been for you since we last t?"
The mysterious woman’s voice still felt very gentle.
"Can’t you even rember that?" Xiang Beifei asked.
The mysterious woman said, "It’s not that I can’t rember, but what I rember isn’t necessarily the sa as what you do."
"What ti do you rember?" Xiang Beifei asked.
The mysterious woman examined Xiang Beifei, pondered for a mont, then said:
"Yesterday."
"Yesterday?"
Xiang Beifei was slightly stunned!
"How could it be yesterday? It’s been about ten years!" Erha interjected.
"Have you gone through ten years?"
The mysterious woman tilted her head slightly.
"What does this an? Did you et us yesterday, and we et you after ten years? Did you traverse ti, or did we?"
Xiaohei scratched his head.
"The ti I rember and the ti you rember are not the sa. You’ve reached the world’s end, haven’t you figured out the situation here?" the mysterious woman asked.
Xiang Beifei seed to understand sothing, saying, "You an—there’s no concept of ti here?"
"It’s not that there’s no concept of ti. The world’s end is a chaotic zone, but here, every local Heavenly Dao Laws are discontinuous, unlike the Edge Corner Airspace where ti is specific everywhere," the mysterious woman explained.
"What do you an by discontinuous ti?" Erha asked inquisitively.
"At the chaotic end, all sorts of scenarios may arise, and each chaotic zone has a different ti flow rate. If you use the ti of Edge Corner Airspace as a reference, ten years there could an a day here, and ten ters further might be an hour, and another ten ters further might equate to a year, or even a hundred, or ten thousand years!"
The mysterious woman explained.
Xiang Beifei was very astonished!
"Just a ten-ter gap can result in such a ti difference?"
"Yes. In the Chaotic Zone, there’s no order to speak of, and you can’t view it with the logic of Edge Corner Airspace. Here, you have to correct your thinking," the mysterious woman said.
Xiang Beifei looked around and asked, "Then where is this place?"
"This is the reverse Heavenly Dao Laws, used to protect myself from getting lost in chaos. I found that you can also control the reverse Heavenly Dao, so I led you here." The mysterious woman said.
"May I ask who you are?" Xiang Beifei asked.
The mysterious woman was silent for a mont before saying, "Guardian of the Dao, we are usually called Protectors."
"We?"
"Yes, we."
"Are there other Protectors?"
"Many."
The mysterious woman lightly waved her hand, and a fog appeared ahead.
At this mont, the sharp-eyed Xiaohei shouted, "Look, there’s another person there!"
Indeed, about twenty ters away, an old, withered man appeared as if he were walking, maintaining his walking posture with one foot in mid-air, yet not moving.
He seed to be frozen in place, turned into a statue.
"Is he a cultivator, or a statue?" Erha exclaid.
"He’s like , a Protector," the mysterious woman said.
"Alive?"
"Alive."
"But why does he look unmoving?" Xiaohei asked.
"Because the region he’s in has a different ti flow than ours. While a day might have passed for us, for him, it might only be a breath, so from here, he looks almost motionless." The mysterious woman said.
This feeling was truly eerie.
"What do Protectors do?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"Co with ."
The mysterious woman stepped forward, and the road ahead began to reverse; the city remained a city, but everything was overturned. The sharp screams from outside sounded almost adorable here, seemingly unnoticed by them.
Soon, the group left Half City and quickly entered a chaos. Xiang Beifei wasn’t sure how they had moved, but when his vision returned to normal, it seed they were high in the sky.
Strictly speaking, this couldn’t be called high sky, because the concept of ’high’ didn’t exist here, but in the distance, Xiang Beifei saw a world like a bubble.
This world had countless intersecting rays of light, colorful and intertwined, forming various things—breath soil, cultivators, trees, houses...
These things were enclosed within a bubble-like film.
"Is this—Edge Corner Airspace?" Xiang Beifei asked in astonishnt.
"Yes, this is the Edge Corner Airspace. This is how it looks when viewed from within the chaos," the mysterious woman said.
"Edge Corner Airspace, wrapped in a bubble, how odd!" Xiaohei muttered.
