Outside of Time [Webnovel]

Crown Prince Purple Green’s tone was gentle.

Clad in a purple robe, his long purple hair flowing, even his pupils were a faint purple. He gazed at Xu Qing, who was caught and bound by the hand of fate before him.

Both his expression and gaze were gentle.

It was just like back then in Peerless City, the big brother who had once been perfect in Xu Qing’s heart.

“Is it possible that this is the truth?”

Crown Prince Purple Green spoke softly.

His voice blended into the wind and drifted through the time, as though it wanted to blow toward the Peerless City that was buried in time.

“Brother, I have no ill intentions.”

“This hand of fate is a gift from me to you. It was formed by the fortune of the Purple Green Kingdom after it returned.”

As soon as Crown Prince Purple Green finished speaking, the large hand that seemed to contain fate that bound Xu Qing instantly dissipated and transformed into a purple dragon. As dense fortune churned, it circled around Xu Qing.

“I came here today to bring you home.”

“I have already taken the Purple Green Kingdom out of the Abyss. Now, it has descended in the Sky Devouring Region, and its countless citizens have descended as well.”

“They’re waiting for me. When I return, I’ll ascend the throne as Emperor Purple Green.”

“As my younger brother in this life, your karma with me is extremely deep, so I want to bring you back. The moment I become the emperor, you will inherit the title of Crown Prince Purple Green.”

“This title, this name that was once brilliant and is still glorious, I am ready to give it to you.”

“Once you accept it, with the current fortune of the Purple Green Kingdom and my support, you can ignite your divine fire in one step and surpass your current cultivation level, becoming a god.”

“Brother, are you willing to accept it?”

Crown Prince Purple Green’s voice landed on the world like thunder tearing through the sky. It roared across the land, bringing with it a sense of destiny that descended upon the world.

Witnessing the authenticity of his words and the firmness of his determination.

Everything he said was true.

The world could prove it.

As he spoke, Crown Prince Purple Green pressed his hand against his forehead, as though he was taking out something but there was nothing.

However, at this moment, as the invisible object was taken out, Crown Prince Purple Green seemed to have lost something important.

That was the name.

He took out Crown Prince Purple Green’s name and put it in his words.

They were waiting for Xu Qing’s decision.

At that moment, the purple dragon of fortune that surrounded Xu Qing also let out earth-shattering roars. It was as though as long as Xu Qing nodded, it would fuse into Xu Qing’s body and help him ignite his divine fire and become a god.

This scene caused the hearts of the cultivators watching to stir.

Erniu, who was in the residence, was also stunned. After that, he gritted his teeth and shouted.

“Little Qing, don’t believe him. He’s a liar!”

Xu Qing looked at Crown Prince Purple Green.

Crown Prince Purple Green also looked at Xu Qing gently.

At that moment, there were only the two of them in the sky above the palace.

The surroundings distorted.

The rumbling from the Abyss Gate in the human race’s territory was still echoing. The illumination of the two lights caused dense anomalous substances to spread through the world.

However, the rumbling was gradually decreasing.

Clearly, the Empress and the five Corpse Gods were successful in their suppression.

Fifteen minutes was almost up.

However, whether it was his expression or tone, Crown Prince Purple Green showed no sense of urgency. It was as though Xu Qing’s choice was the most important thing to him at this moment.

And he saw countless scenes in the flow of time, where in most of the outcomes, Xu Qing accepted his name and became the Crown Prince Purple Green.

Although a small portion rejected him, in the end, they still accepted it under his different responses.

In reality, the outcome had already been decided in time.

Purple Green’s gaze was gentle.

Xu Qing remained silent. The other party’s words took him by surprise. At this moment, his gaze intertwined with that of Crown Prince Purple Green, stirring up waves of childhood memories deep within his heart.

After a long time, he didn’t say his choice but spoke in a deep voice.

“I don’t believe you.”

“I also have a guess. Please verify it for me. In that fragment of cruel time that was cut-off, did something strange happen after I shattered into pieces?”

Xu Qing calmly looked at Purple Green, the big brother in his memory as he slowly spoke.

“If this guess is true, then what exactly happened after I was shattered that made you feel the need to cut off that part of time, preventing it from surfacing in the world?

“You even replaced that cut-off time with gentle memories.”

“It caused me to not notice anything, and unknowingly took the gentleness in my memories as the truth in the days that followed.”

Xu Qing’s voice drifted into Crown Prince Purple Green’s ears.

This was another explanation for the same thing.

The gentleness on Crown Prince Purple Green’s face slowly dissipated.

Looking at his big brother in front of him, Xu Qing continued softly.

“I was also thinking about the reason why you sent the stitched rag doll over. It was only when that guess surfaced in my mind that I thought of a possibility. The doll is a key.”

Xu Qing rarely spoke so much. However, it was different today, and the person he was facing was also different.

“A key to opening fate, just like how you plundered Shopkeeper Zhao’s fate previously.”

Xu Qing drew in a deep breath and stared at Crown Prince Purple Green, whose gentleness had dissipated and was emitting an inexplicable aura.

“Back then, did you see something when I was shattered? Or was it your requirement or your fear that forced you to cut it and replace it with gentleness, like a seal!”

“Today, you thought that the time was ripe, so you appeared here.”

“When you asked me to inherit the name Crown Prince Purple Green, it further confirmed my guess. If I agree, will the soul in my body in the future be me or you?”

“Although I’m not sure of your true goal, this bizarre possession method of using a name leaves me with only one answer.”

“There’s something in my soul that you want but can’t obtain. So, you can only do this.”

“Am I right, big brother?”

Xu Qing calmly spoke.

Purple Green’s eyes narrowed.

At the next instant, wind blew past the world, gently caressing the two of

them,     lifting their hair and separating the colorful lights from the sunlight. As they landed, an extremely unstable and terrifying energy suddenly rose from Xu Qing’s body.

This energy contained the aura of destruction and affected fate, causing the sky and earth to change color and the wind and clouds in all directions to stir.

That was the aura of self-destruction.

Xu Qing didn’t hesitate to do something that shocked and surprised everyone.

He chose to self-destruct, causing himself to shatter like he had back then.

This was his answer to Crown Prince Purple Green.

He also wanted to know what exactly existed in his soul.

“Back then, Saintly Star’s father, Chu Tianqun, used a divine technique on me to erase all karma in my soul. However, in the end, he wailed in horror…”

“He, what did he see…”

The power of self-destruction enveloped the world. Xu Qing mumbled to himself amidst the destructive storm.

Although he didn’t know what Purple Green’s motive was, he could guess the cause and effect after combining everything.

However, this didn’t affect his plan.

How could he not have made any preparations after seeing Purple Green in the Imperial City? This wasn’t his nature.

In reality, ever since he first saw Crown Prince Purple Green in the Imperial City back then, he had secretly communicated with Old Master Seventh and set up a plan against Purple Green.

The core of this plan was to exceed Purple Green’s control over time.

To do something that the other party didn’t see in time.

Hence, self-destructing was the only thing Xu Qing could think of that exceeded that range.

Old Master Seventh also approved of this.

As for Crown Prince Purple Green, his expression changed drastically.

His gentle expression changed for the first time. His pupils contracted and waves appeared in his heart.

Xu Qing’s choice exceeded his expectations.

This wasn’t within the time he saw!

At the same time, in the Nanhuang Continent, which was extremely far from the human capital and across the Forbidden Sea, the Lord of the Nanhuang Continent, the Flame Phoenix, spread Its wings that blotted out the sky and circled in the sky of the Nanhuang Continent.

Wherever It passed, clouds and fog churned and the world rumbled.

Waves of storms swept across the ground.

Directly below it was a place of ruins.

This was the place where Crown Prince Purple Green had died in battle back

then.     It was also the location of Peerless City.

At that moment, hundreds of thousands of cultivators were sitting cross-legged, forming a vast and shocking array formation.

The range of this array formation was extremely large. There were cultivators from the Foundation Building realm to the Nascent Soul realm, Spirit Repository, and even the Nihility.

If Erniu was here, he would definitely be able to recognize at a glance that most of these people were disciples of the Seven Blood Eyes. There were even some who came from Purple Earth.

It could be said that this was a huge array formation formed by the various forces in the Nanhuang Continent.

The inner ring of the array formation was formed by flesh and blood that emitted a terrifying pressure. The appearance of this flesh and blood caused the world to continue rumbling and the surroundings to distort as though they were about to be destroyed.

In the center stood a colossal mercury giant, formed from countless amounts of mercury, towering at a height of a hundred thousand feet.

This giant lay there. Its appearance was exactly the same as Xu Qing’s.

There was also a drop of blood from Xu Qing on its forehead.

Old Master Seventh sat cross-legged in the air above the mercury giant.

The wind blew over, blowing his white hair. He emitted intense majesty and his expression was also extremely solemn.

Almost at the instant Xu Qing self-destructed, Old Master Seventh’s eyes suddenly opened.

“Array activate, Time Movement!”

Hundreds of thousands of cultivators in all directions shouted in unison. The

Flame Phoenix in the sky spat out a beam of light below and Old Master Seventh emitted an ancient aura.

This aura was timeless, as if it had become the measure of time itself.

“Supreme Star Platform, ever-changing and unyielding. Banish the ancient, bind the present, protect the divine, and guard the spirit. Illuminate wisdom, calm the mind, bring peace to the soul. May the three souls endure forever, and the spirit never decay. My disciple is at peace, traversing the Yellow Springs in reverse. By the authority of the divine decree!”

With that, Old Master Seventh’s left hand suddenly pressed down on the mercury man below.

After that, he placed his right hand on his chest and performed a series of hand seals before chanting again.

“Heaven and Earth are natural, impure energies disperse. In the mysterious void of the cave, the primordial brightness shines. The divine powers of the eight directions make me natural. The decree of the Spiritual Treasure, proclaimed to the nine heavens.

“100,000 years ago, the famed Purple Green perished here. Before he died, he breathed his last. Today, in the name of the Summer, with the Immortal as the guide, summon this breath back. By the authority of the divine decree!”

Old Master Seventh’s eyes were wide open in anger. His voice was like thunder, and every word rumbled.

He actually wanted to extract the last breath Crown Prince Purple Green exhaled when he died here, from the heavens, from within time, from among all things!
