Outside Of Time



When it thought about how it had actually met the Pawn not long after regaining freedom, the head was filled with grief and indignation.

If it was an ordinary Pawn, it could even deceive them since they didn't understand it. However, facing Xu Qing, it didn't dare to resist at all and could only flee with all its might.

It had been killed by Xu Qing countless times and knew how ruthless Xu Qing was. Ignoring everything else, the fluctuations of god's authority on Xu Qing's body already shocked it. There was also the devouring shadow…

Moreover, every time Xu Qing woke up, he would step on it to death. After experiencing it too many times, instead of getting used to it, it developed a deep fear for Xu Qing.

It fled even faster. The stone lion in front of it was the same.

Xu Qing moved unhurriedly while coldly looking at the fleeing head and stone lion. With the influence of D132 gone, many memories of D132 had surfaced in his mind during this period of time.

He also remembered why he crushed the bamboo slip every time.

The bamboo slips he had taken out from D132 had long become extraordinary. They gathered the power of the god while also being filled with the forgetting luck.

As they piled up again and again, their essence had completely changed.

"It should be that every time I woke up, I thought of this and wanted to use D132's power to create a unique treasure."

As Xu Qing fell into deep thought, the Nether Spirit Blood Wing appeared on his back. With a flap, his speed erupted explosively and he directly crossed thousands of feet, appearing beside the head.

His speed was so fast that the head only felt a blur and saw Xu Qing before it. It immediately screamed in fright when it saw Xu Qing lifting his leg.

"Ahhh, this again!" The head wailed and instinctively closed its eyes. At the next instant, there was a bang.

Xu Qing's right foot landed and crushed the head. After that, he expressionlessly looked at the stone lion in the distance and calmly spoke.

"Get back here!"

The stone lion in the distance paused and shivered violently. It wanted to continue fleeing but it didn't dare to. Recalling its countless experiences of being burned to death, it finally obediently turned around and hopped back to Xu Qing's side while wagging its tail. With a plop, it knelt down.

Xu Qing coldly glanced at the stone lion. Regardless of whether it was his memories that were slowly surfacing or the pieced-together content on those broken bamboo slips, they all made him understand that this stone lion was D132's cloud beast.

To be precise, the cloud beast was in a state suppressed by luck, and its true appearance was this headless stone lion.

This was also the reason why the head had asked Xu Qing to send it to the cloud beast when it first saw Xu Qing. It wanted to be the head of the stone lion.

At that moment, the minced meat that was the head under Xu Qing's feet rapidly fused together. Very soon, the head recovered. After it fixed itself, it hurriedly screamed.

"Lord Guardian, I…" Xu Qing stomped it again.

With a bang, it shattered.

The stone lion's body shuddered and its tail swayed even more forcefully.

Very soon, the head recovered and it wailed endlessly.

"It's over, it's over. Without D132's forgetfulness, I…"

Bang, it shattered again.

Just like that, an hour passed. After crushing it 17 to 18 times, Xu Qing left.

However, he didn't travel on foot this time. Instead, he was riding the headless stone lion. As for the head… it was tied to the stone lion's tail.

As the stone lion moved forward, its two hind legs kept kicking the head. The head was filled with grief and indignation but it didn't dare to flare up at Xu Qing. Hence, it kept cursing the stone lion.

When the stone lion heard the curses, its tail swayed and its hind legs kicked even more ruthlessly.

Xu Qing originally planned to kill these two D132 criminals. However, it was obvious that the D132 criminals had been imprisoned with the god's finger for a long time. Under that influence, they already possessed some strange changes, or rather, a special curse. The price was unknown.

This curse allowed them to quickly revive every time they died.

Xu Qing remembered it was the same in D132 back then.

Since he couldn't kill them and couldn't let them escape, he simply brought them along.

However, this scene was quite strange.

The headless stone lion ran very quickly and its hind legs kicked heavily. The head, which was tied to its tail, wailed and cursed. As for Xu Qing, he sat expressionlessly on the stone lion's back. From time to time, he would point in a direction and the stone lion would run toward that direction.

Just like that, when dawn was about to arrive, Xu Qing gradually saw the Morning Glow Province.

"Morning Glow Province?" The bruised and swollen head spat out a stone it had bitten onto from the leg of the stone lion. It then saw Morning Glow Province and suddenly spoke.

"Sir, Sir, reporting!"

"That old fart from the Painting Race is in the Morning Glow Province. Not only is he there, but our D132's god finger is also there!"

Xu Qing raised his brows and turned to look at the head.

The head hurriedly revealed a fawning expression and its tone was filled with righteousness.

"Those criminals are too much. They don't have any gratitude at all. The Prison Department was so good to us. They gave food, drinks, and accommodation. Where can we find such a good place in this chaotic world? But they actually broke out of prison!"ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Sir, actually, when I got out, I started to miss life in the Prison Department very much. Every time I recall it, I sigh with emotion. I miss it very much. So, with my upright head, I have to report these criminals!"

"Sir, in reality, it's that old fart from the Painting Race. He was the one who led the escape!"

When Xu Qing heard this, he fell into deep thought and looked at the Morning Glow Province.

As the Palace Master's edict bearer, not only did he control the information of the entire Fenghai County, but he also knew a lot about the collapse of the Prison Department that day.

The collapse of the Prison Department was due to the sudden dissipation of the suppressive power. After that, the god's clone in the Prison Department awakened its memories and erupted, trying to piece itself together from the state of dismemberment.

Fortunately, the Palace Master was guarding the Prison Department at that time. With his intervention, as well as the assistance of the deacons and the Deputy Palace Masters of the Sword Holding Palace, even using the power of the county's Taboo magic treasure, they re-sealed the partially awakened brain and most of the body of the god's clone.

However, during this process, due to the death of the County Governor and the explosion of the Prison Department, the entire county was in chaos. Hence, a large number of prisoners took the opportunity to escape, including a small portion of the god's clone.

After the statistics were tabulated, two fingers and an eye had disappeared. However, these parts had paid a price and were heavily injured when they fled.

Previously, during the arresting operation, the Sword Holders had found a finger and captured it with the help of the two Deputy Palace Masters.

As for the remaining finger and an eye, there were no clues at all. They didn't know where they were hiding. Actually, if the arrest operation lasted a little longer, they could still be found. However, the danger of the war caused the Sword Holders to not have the time.

From the looks of it, if what the head said was true, D132's finger was hidden in the Morning Glow Province.

As Xu Qing pondered inwardly, the head's eyes blinked rapidly in delight. It felt that if Xu Qing went to look for the painting old man, iti would either be free after Xu Qing was killed or the old man would be captured as well. This way, D132 would be mostly reunited.

When it thought about how it was captured but the other cellmates of D132 were free outside, it felt especially unhinged. It thought that cellmates should stay together.

At the thought of this, it hurriedly continued to speak.

"Lord, after the explosion in the Prison Department that day, that painting old man from D132 escaped with the god's finger…"

Xu Qing coldly glanced at the head and calmly spoke.

"I don't like to hear lies."

The head shook and he hurriedly changed its tone.

"It's the god's finger. It clearly had its own independent consciousness. At that time, it didn't respond to the summoning of the other parts of the clone but escaped with the painting old man. The lion and I had no choice but to follow."

"Yes… On the way, I heard the painting old man communicating with the finger. It seems that the finger wants the old man to draw a body for It."

"However, It is a god and is different from us. Hence, the old man said that this painting needed some special paint, so they came to the Morning Glow Province to find the remains of the sun that had fallen there. The old man wanted to use those remains as paint."

This time around, the head didn't dare to conceal the truth. It knew very well that when facing this terrifying Xu Qing, it had to avoid going too far with its schemes. Otherwise, if the other party felt that it was lying, it would be the one suffering.

Hence, it didn't hide anything and told him everything it knew in detail.

ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm Xu Qing fell silent and patted the neck of the stone lion under him. The stone lion hurriedly cast a spell and the wind rose in the surroundings, increasing its speed by a lot as it sped toward the Morning Glow Province.

As he got closer, information about the Morning Glow Province appeared in Xu Qing's mind.

The Morning Glow Province was different from the other provinces in Fenghai County.

There was no land here, only an extremely huge deep pit that occupied almost 90% of the entire Morning Glow Province.

Legend had it that this astonishing deep pit was where the sun fell down countless years ago when the fragmented-face of the god arrived.

Therefore, the entire Morning Glow Province appeared to be an unfathomable abyss. This abyss was like a pitch black sea, with only occasional glimpses of towering peaks standing on its surface.

Almost 80% of these mountain peaks were submerged in this abyssal sea. A small portion of the mountain peaks that were exposed became the habitat of the races in the Morning Glow Province.

The layout of these mountain peaks was special. They were pitch-black and contained crystals. It was said that after the sun fell back then, the high temperature it emitted burned the ground here, leading to this terrain.

It was also this unique terrain that caused this province to produce a material called mica stone.

Among these many abyssal sea peaks, in the center of the Morning Glow Province, there was a huge mountain known as Mount Morning Glow. It was also where the Morning Glow Province's Sword Holding Court was located.

Other than that, the solar wind in the Morning Glow Province was even stronger than in the province lines. In fact, it existed all year round in the depths of this province.

As a result, the Morning Glow Province became a region where teleportation was rendered impossible. Flying was also greatly hindered. In response to this, after countless years of development, a type of large-scale ship that could navigate the treacherous abyssal sea was designed.

Because of the existence of such a large-scale magic artifact, there were many ports at the edges of the Morning Glow Province.

At that moment, Xu Qing was walking toward a medium-sized port. He had changed his appearance and his aura. The stone lion and the head also obediently changed their appearances under his gaze.

The port in the distance had a similar style to that of the ones in the Seven Blood Eyes. After all, this abyssal sea was no different from the sea to a certain extent. It even looked the same color.

One could see long, straight piers extending from the harbor, reaching into the depths of the pitch-black abyssal sea, forming a network of docks. However, there were no boats or cargoes docked in the surroundings.

However, there were many cultivators waiting at the docks. There were very few humans among these cultivators and the vast majority of them were nonhumans with different appearances.

As Xu Qing walked over, the bustling sounds entered his ears.
