Outside of Time [Webnovel]

834 In Contest With Heaven, There Is No Day of Exchange (1)

The map jade slip provided by the captain was evidently not focused on this area, as the previous investigations had a different direction. Therefore, the details recorded were not very comprehensive, merely indicating the general locations.

However, it did mention that these two races weren’t humans.

They were the Mirror Image Race and Heavenly Mask Race.

Right now, the ones who appeared in front of Xu Qing and asked for a travel permit were from the Mirror Image Race.

Members of this clan have bodies made of mirrors, starting from small mirror fragments in their infancy to reaching immense sizes as they grow.

It was one of the bizarre entity races.

It was also a new race that had appeared after the god’s fragmented-face arrived.

Members of this clan had both male and female characteristics, and they reproduced at a rapid pace. Their innate ability allowed them to reflect their enemies within their mirrors, enabling them to exert a certain degree of control over them.

However, to be able to do this, one needed an even stronger talent. Only the nobles of this race could do so.

At that moment, these Mirror Image Race members who were stopping Xu Qing were only the border guards of this race. Most of their cultivation levels were at the Foundation Building realm which was similar to the cultivation base of Xu Qing’s current identity.

Hence, they did not hide their malice at all in front of Xu Qing. It was as though as long as Xu Qing couldn’t show the permit, they would instantly rush out and kill him.

After all, in their eyes, the human race was only a low-grade race.

Xu Qing was expressionless as he coldly looked at these Mirror Image Race members. He would remember the other party’s malicious gaze.

However, now wasn’t the time to make a move. After all, this place belonged to the other party. After Xu Qing swept his gaze across them, he focused his attention on his reflection in the mirror.

After that, he took out the jade slip of the Yin Yang Flower Sect that his captain had given him and threw it over. He wanted to see how the other party would touch a material object.

At the next instant, Xu Qing, who was reflected in the mirror, stretched out his hand.

This person’s hand was the same as Xu Qing’s in the mirror. However, after he stretched out his hand, it transformed into a cloud of black gas. It grabbed the jade slip as though it was checking it.

Very soon, they got the result and all of them frowned.

The malice and greed in their eyes didn’t dissipate much. They repeatedly sized up Xu Qing, clearly unwilling to let him leave just like that.

Xu Qing’s gaze was cold as he stared at the other party.

A while later, those Mirror Image Race members looked at each other and chose to restrain themselves.

Clearly, the name of the Yin Yang Flower Race was effective. Hence, in the end, these Mirror Image Race border guards fused into the ground again and disappeared.

Xu Qing glanced at the place where they had hidden. The dark-black soil there was as usual.

This scene caused a strange feeling to emerge in Xu Qing’s heart.

“Why did they fuse into the ground?”

Xu Qing was puzzled. This point wasn’t marked on the map jade slip.

Hence, Xu Qing paid attention to this matter. After he retrieved the jade slip, he walked into the distance and entered the territory of the two races’ alliance.

Although the ground here was also dark black, the dim yellow sky was different from the Little Altar. Perhaps it was because it was close to the sea of fire, the sky here was clearly brighter.

The pits of bones were finally gone.

The villages and towns were reflected in Xu Qing’s eyes as he moved forward.

It was different from the human cities.

The buildings of the Mirror Image Race were made of soil. They looked pitch-black, like mud castles.

Xu Qing walked all the way and saw many of them.

Even if it was a larger city, at most, it would have a mud castle with a more complicated range and structure.

Overall, it was filled with a sense of desolation and roughness.

In the Mirror Image Race’s territory, everything was quiet. There was no laughter or hustle and bustle here. There were only mirrors walking around the mud castles and flying occasionally.

All the Mirror Image Race members didn’t seem to like to speak much. They could express their thoughts and communicate with each other with just a glance.

Such a race was destined to be xenophobic.

Xu Qing’s appearance attracted their attention. Malicious gazes kept sweeping over from all directions but Xu Qing hadn’t encountered anyone who took the initiative to attack.

Not everyone of the Mirror Image Race cultivated; there were more mortals among them. However, their bodies weren’t a single intact mirror. Cracks marred them, with some having seven or eight, while others had countless.

The latter emitted weakness and death aura.

Furthermore, their shapes were varied; some were humanoid while others were beast-like. They all appeared dirty.

There were even some composed of countless broken mirror pieces pieced together, creating a rather bizarre appearance. At the same time, Xu Qing also noticed that within this alliance territory of two races, there were also humans present.

However, the human race was clearly in a disadvantaged position here and there weren’t many of them. Most of them lived in the cities of the Mirror Image Race and had low statuses.

When they saw Xu Qing, most of their expressions were numb.

Xu Qing looked at them, feeling powerless to change the situation.

This place wasn’t far from the human race’s territory, especially after the Holy Wave Race returned, and there was only the Sacrificial Yin separating them. However, no one could resolve the curse of this region.

In reality, the human race was in a similar situation in other regions. Back then, because of the unification by the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether, all the regions in the Wanggu Continent were human territory. Hence, after the great defeat of the Human Sovereign Eastern Triumph, countless humans were separated and it was difficult for them to return to the human territory.

After generations, there might be rises but most of them would have to live with inferior status.

Some of them still knew that they were humans, while others had slowly forgotten about their glory. Their bloodlines were also extremely impure.

There were also some who looked in the direction of the human race’s Grand Imperial Capital Region, yearning to return.

However, the long journey and the complicated relationships between the various regions caused only experts to have the qualifications to return. The countless mortals didn’t have the ability to do so.
