Celestial Realm.
Universe Divine Court.
The Leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance strolled leisurely down bustling streets, invisible to passersby, as if he were in an empty land.
With just a few steps, he shattered the void, traversed vast distances, and entered a cavernous abode.
At the deepest part of the dwelling.
The Leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance halted his steps, his gaze piercing the curtain of cold pool water, locking onto a blurred silhouette, and spoke: "About to descend to the Lower Realm, the Buddha Killer is dead. I've co to borrow so people from you."
As his words fell, it wasn't long before a pitch-black spatial rift appeared beside him.
Monts later.
A graceful figure erged from the spatial rift.
It was a woman in a black dress, her long hair cascading down, her face extraordinarily beautiful, her deanor cool and aloof.
In her hand, she carried a rusty and worn-out broken knife.
Though the knife was old and shabby, the fierce aura it emitted made the Leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance hesitant to approach.
After scrutinizing the woman in the black dress, the Leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance chuckled: "A descendant of Ji Gu?"
The figure behind the water curtain asked: "Is it enough?"
The Leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance laughed: "She alone is worth a million Heavenly Soldiers!"
"..."
...
Three Thousand Worlds of the Upper Realm.
Yan Huang Star.
Heavenly Craft Institute.
In Aobangma's research laboratory.
Luo Xiu gazed at the square, colossal light screen hovering in the void, feeling inexplicably shocked.
Displayed within the screen was a city floating in the starry sky.
Skyscrapers, palatial buildings, resembling the heavenly Jade Capital.
Around that city, celestial mists lingered without dispersing, and waterfalls cascaded, accompanied by colorful auspicious lights, resplendent and dreamy.
Yet all of it seed like a still exquisite painting.
Beside him, Lin Xiyue glanced at Luo Xiu's profile and asked: "At this very mont, what do you want to express?"
Luo Xiu remained silent.
Lin Xiyue was about to recite a poem to express her feelings when Luo Xiu suddenly exclaid: "Wow, aweso!"
Lin Xiyue: "..."
She felt that being uneducated was indeed frightening.
Luo Xiu withdrew his gaze from the screen and turned to Aobangma, asking: "Is this truly the image captured by your telescope?"
Aobangma nodded, proudly straightening up, "Not long ago, I improved the 'Eye of Starry Sky', unexpectedly yielding remarkable results, allowing it to clearly capture images from tens of thousands of light-years away."
Lin Xiyue asked: "Is this really the Universe Divine Court?"
Aobangma nodded: "Based on the data from the Three-Star Treasury, I can assert... this is indeed the supre Divine Court within the universe we inhabit, the city where God resides."
Luo Xiu said: "Then cos the question. You saw the Universe Divine Court with your telescope, what does that signify?"
"Did you urgently summon us back for that? I just baited my fishing spot with a bottle of Heavenly Grade Elixir, and haven't even caught any fish yet."
Aobangma asked: "My telescope can see the Universe Divine Court fifteen thousand light-years away, doesn't that an anything?"
Luo Xiu felt exasperated, "I get it now, you called us back just to show off."
"Hehe..."
Aobangma laughed a bit awkwardly.
Lin Xiyue asked: "So, what we're seeing now is the Universe Divine Court from fifteen thousand years ago?"
Aobangma was slightly surprised, "Didn't expect you to understand so well."
Lin Xiyue smiled faintly: "The elder really underestimates our Earth. We've had brilliant scholars there too, and I'm familiar with the law of light speed."
Luo Xiu baffled, "I don't know any scholars."
Lin Xiyue cast him a sidelong glance, "That Einstein, that Newton, aren't they great scholars?"
Luo Xiu shrugged, walked over to find a chair to sit, curious: "But Dean Ao, how can you see things in the Celestial Realm from the Upper Realm?"
Aobangma said: "The so-called Lower Realm, Upper Realm, Celestial Realm, are actually connected, because cosmic space itself is an integral whole, just with boundaries."
"Like dividing a box into upper, middle, and lower layers, no matter how you divide it, the box remains a whole."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu picked up a square, exquisitely beautiful tal box on the table, and asked: "Like this?"
At the other side, Ma Yanran was busy and said: "That's my rouge box."
Luo Xiu ignored her, fixated on the box in his hand, asking Aobangma: "Then, what's beyond this box?"
Upon hearing this, Aobangma fell silent.
Because he didn't know the answer either.
"What's beyond the box; that's the answer we Sanxing tribespeople have pursued for a lifeti."
Luo Xiu extended his palm upward, holding the box out to Aobangma, saying: "Could it be held by a hand like this? And the owner of this hand is observing all that happens inside the box."
"Life proliferation, civilization cycles, racial wars... are rely gas to the owner of this hand. And we are rely crickets trapped inside this box."
Aobangma observed Luo Xiu and said: "That answer can only be known when the cricket inside the box flies out."
Luo Xiu asked: "How can one fly out?"
Aobangma said: "Speed is definitely out of the question. As the lady ntioned earlier, there's the limit of light speed."
"Even if you reach light speed, you can't fly out because this box is expanding perpetually, and its expansion rate matches the speed of light."
Adding: "Not to ntion traveling to the Universe Divine Court we sight, even at the speed of light, it would take fifteen thousand years."
Luo Xiu clenched the box and asked: "Does this an the box is nothing but a cage?"
Aobangma: "Yes, a cage of ti and space."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu slowly closed his eyes, carefully feeling that newly born space within him, saying: "I seem to have realized sothing."
Aobangma said: "Throughout the endless river of ti, nurous life forms have considered flying out of this box."
"Yet none have succeeded."
"In the end, they discovered that transcendence alone holds a slim chance."
Luo Xiu opened his eyes and asked: "What is transcendence?"
Aobangma said: "Perhaps on the other side of the Cosmic Great Wall, you may find an answer."
Luo Xiu asked: "Why does the Dean know so much?"
Aobangma smiled, "Everything that happens within the river of ti is recorded, and our clan's repository of knowledge can trace the events of history."
"Recorded by whom?"
Aobangma said: "Naturally, recorded by ti and space."
Luo Xiu remained quiet for a mont, suddenly turning to leave.
Lin Xiyue followed, "What's wrong? You seem strange."
Luo Xiu lightly shook his head, "Xi Yue, I wish to go into seclusion."
Lin Xiyue asked: "You just said you've realized sothing, what did you realize exactly?"
Luo Xiu shook his head, "I don't know either, I'll share once I erge from seclusion."
