Chapter 1148 Shocking, the Truth of the Tenth Order

"Um... I actually have something to do. The space has assigned me a mission, and I have to go out urgently, so... I won't be able to go in with you."

Long Sheqi Lu hesitated before speaking, and seeing his expression, Lu Li became even more uneasy.

All signs, both directly and indirectly, indicate that Lu Xueqing's great-grandmother is quite terrifying.

However, Lu Li did ask Lu Xueqing out of curiosity about her parents: why was it her great-grandmother who raised her, instead of her parents?
But Lu Xueqing's answer surprised Lu Li. Lu Xueqing said that she had only seen her mother when she was a child, but never her father. And when she grew up a little, her mother disappeared.

She asked her great-grandmother, who only said that she would be told when she reached the peak of the ninth level.

"It's just ahead, let's go."

Seeing that Long She Qi Lu had already made his escape, Lu Xueqing said to Lu Li.

"Let's go, I also want to see the pinnacle of this world!"

Lu Li said, forcing himself to speak.

The two walked along the path and arrived at the lakeside, where they saw a woman dressed in black with purple patterns sitting there fishing.

Lu Li was very familiar with the woman's back view. He couldn't quite put his finger on it. He had never actually seen what she looked like that day. He had only seen a peerless expert fighting with a shadow in the distance. It was Lu Xueqing who told him that the person was her great-grandmother.

But Lu Li felt as if he had seen that figure somewhere before, and something seemed to stir deep within his soul, though that stirring quickly subsided.

"Xueqing, come here."

The woman turned around, her voice gentle. It was hard to believe that this was the same person who had killed six forbidden figures with a single, domineering palm strike that day.

Lu Xueqing was also quite reserved, unlike her usual self. She acted like a little girl, obediently running to the woman's side and kneeling down so that her great-grandmother wouldn't have to look up at her.

"Yes, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. This force may bind you, but it may also make you stronger."

The woman nodded and said, "I can shatter the power within you. Do you want me to do it, or will you cultivate yourself to eliminate it?"

Although Lu Li had expected it, he was still shocked to hear from Lu Xueqing's great-grandmother that the threads could be easily broken.

Now that his strength has greatly increased, he believes he can even put up a fight against those who are forbidden, but when he looks at this woman, he feels as if he is staring into a bottomless abyss, unable to fathom her depths at all.

"My granddaughter is willing to resolve this herself."

Lu Xueqing's eyes hardened, her Dao heart becoming clear.

The woman nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Lu Li, "This must be the Demon Prisoner of the End."

"This humble one, Lu Li, greets senior."

Lu Li had considered whether to directly call Lu Xueqing "great-grandmother," but under the pressure of her imposing presence, he didn't dare to be glib for a moment.

"Not bad, it's a bit of a waste to have a body that can imprison demons. I doubt those guys would have thought you could get this far."

As soon as Xue Zhiyu opened her mouth, she captivated Lu Li's attention.

"Please enlighten me, senior, what exactly is that 'sacred soul' within me?"

Lu Li quickly asked, knowing that this might be the closest he had ever come to the truth.

Xue Zhiyu wasn't used to being a riddle teller, so she raised her hand to Lu Li, gesturing for him to sit down as well and not be so reserved.

Seeing Lu Li sit down respectfully, she said, "He was once a tenth-level being."

"Tenth rank!?"

Lu Li said in shock. He had guessed that the thing inside him was of great importance, but he never expected it to be such a powerful existence.

The tenth level! It's something never heard of or seen in this space, and it's not even a legend.

It was only after Lu Xueqing mentioned it to him that he learned that there was a tenth rank above the ninth rank. The reason why the shadow's power was so domineering, and why her great-grandmother could easily kill the forbidden, was because they had reached the end of the path to the ninth rank and were about to approach the tenth rank.

As for what exactly that shadow was, Lu Xueqing didn't know either. She said it was either something like her great-grandmother or a projection of something even more terrifying.

"Indeed, Xueqing may have told you a lot of things, but she doesn't know that the being within you once nearly destroyed the entire world, and the creator of space also died at His hands."

Xue Zhiyu spoke quickly and bluntly; the amount of information conveyed in just two short sentences was enough to make Lu Li's head explode.

Lu Lixin said, "It's good that you didn't hide it from me, but you could have spoken more slowly and given me some time to process it."

"Then... how was such a powerful being sealed within my body? Or rather, how was it sealed as a sacred soul?"

He asked curiously, having seen the River of Time and asked his master, that the Holy Soul was originally a bead, and that his master had simply swallowed that bead.

Essentially, it was the bead that sealed the Holy Soul, so even if Lu Li died, the Demon God would not be able to escape.

"you still need to ask?"

Xue Zhiyu said, "Naturally, He lost. The loser is no longer at the tenth level. Even if He has some tricks up his sleeve, it will be difficult for him to rise again, and he will eventually become a prisoner."

"Even the tenth rank...can it be defeated?"

Lu Li felt that what he had heard today was too shocking and unconventional.

"Who dares to claim invincibility, who claims to be undefeated? The creator of this space was a tenth-level being. He died and his soul vanished, but he left some contingency plans to keep the space running, hoping that one day a new tenth-level being would be born to defeat the thing inside you."

Xue Zhiyu explained, "You saw the result too."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li was filled with emotion. In fact, he really wanted to ask who the creator of the space was and who had defeated the tenth-level being within him, but he felt that it seemed too far removed from his own life, and since the matter had already occurred, it was not the focus of his concern.

"So, the one who defeated the holy soul within me didn't manage to destroy Him, which is why I am the prisoner now?"

Lu Li continued to ask.

"The tenth level is too difficult to kill. Just like the tenth level that was killed inside you used a backup plan to keep the space running, which is a kind of indirect existence. The being inside you also left a backup plan. After its death, it activated the arrangements in the Sea of ​​Worlds, hoping to rise again."

Xue Zhiyu also remarked with a sigh, "Perhaps that's true."

"perhaps?"

Lu Li asked in surprise.

"I don't know everything either. At least before I pulled you out of the End Space, I didn't know that the Primordial Ancestor of All Calamities was still alive."

Xue Zhiyu frankly admitted.

Lu Li seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this, and thought to himself, "Ancestor of All Calamities, is this your name? Or is it just what outsiders call you?"

"So, it wasn't the expert who defeated Him who sealed Him away?"

Lu Li asked, feeling it was a simple logic: since the Demon God wreaked havoc on the world back then, and the unparalleled powerhouse of the space defeated him, there was no reason to simply seal him away; he must have been thinking of eliminating him completely. "Absolutely not. My son isn't that kind of person. He only thinks about how to completely kill his opponent."

Xue Zhiyu's words startled Lu Li once again.

Lu Li opened his mouth wide, thinking to himself, "So, after all this time, that super strong man who killed the tenth-level monster is your son?"

My goodness, is Xueqing's house really that powerful?

"Then... who else can seal Him?"

Lu Li suppressed his shock and continued to ask.

"I was curious at first and tried to deduce it, but I didn't get any results. But it seems that the other party has already surfaced."

Xue Zhiyu said.

"Is it the figure that appeared on the Divine Martial Continent that day?"

Lu Xueqing interrupted and asked.

Xue Zhiyu nodded. "That's not His true form, but a projection from somewhere else, so his power is much weaker. Otherwise, even if you two had been doomed that day, I wouldn't have been able to stop him."

Lu Li felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, and was also quite surprised. "Is the tenth level so easy to cultivate? Xue Qing told me before that it was just a legend, something that only one person in all eternity could achieve. How come we've already heard of several people mentioning it in such a short time?"

"It is extremely difficult, of course. People without a crucial opportunity will never be able to take that step in their entire lives, while those with the talent and aptitude may not necessarily have to endure it for a long time."

Xue Zhiyu said, "In fact, there really are unknown tenth-order beings in this world, and they have always been lurking underwater."

Lu Li was very puzzled. "Just now, the senior said that the powerful person who attacked us was a projection. Could it be that there are other worlds like stacked boxes above this Sea of ​​Worlds? Otherwise, where is that tenth-tier being hidden?"

Lu Xueqing also looked at her great-grandmother with curiosity, because she didn't know the principle behind it either. Logically speaking, the Sea of ​​the World is the pinnacle that encompasses all things, and many taboos have been deduced, so it is believed that there is no higher world.

"it's not true."

Xue Zhiyu concluded, "He is actually still within the ocean of the world, but he has transcended the vast space-time, so we cannot see him normally."

"Transcending the vast expanse of time and space?"

Lu Li seemed to be deep in thought, "Just like when we fought on the river of time in the small world?"

"Although there are some differences, you can understand it this way."

Xue Zhiyu nodded.

"Wait, that doesn't make sense either. If the power of the tenth tier is strong, I can understand why the time causality strangulation power of the World Sea is useless against them. But if that's the case, and they can manipulate time at will in the river of time, how can we still be standing here talking?"

Lu Li said curiously, "I don't think that shadow cares about the life or death of the creatures in the World Sea, and it certainly wouldn't use any great means to protect the stability of the World Sea's time operation."

Xue Zhiyu said something that sent a chill down Lu Li's spine: "How do you know time hasn't changed?"

Lu Li was stunned.

Yes, people within the river of time won't feel anything even if time changes; they'll just feel that this is how their lives have been.

Just like in the Dragon Ball world, if there were no parallel world mechanism, changing cause and effect would mean a change in the timeline.

In fact, parallel worlds are just one possibility of a new timeline, only they are separated and represented separately. How could people in that world feel that their time has changed?

"So...every minute, every second, we only feel that time hasn't changed, but in reality, our experiences have changed? Even we who are speaking right now have?"

Lu Li felt uncomfortable. If he could step out of that situation and look at it from God's perspective, it would be like he was manipulating time in his hometown. He could change it at will, but the people in the world wouldn't know. So it's even possible that their current conversation is a repetition of countless times, each with subtle differences.

When Lu Li modified the timeline of his hometown, it was to make the era better and avoid a world filled with wailing and lamentation. He had a clear conscience and did not intend to repeatedly manipulate time.

Judging from the shadow's actions, its killing intent easily evaporated a vast ocean, showing no respect for life whatsoever.

"I'm just suggesting a possibility, don't be so nervous."

Xue Zhiyu added, and gently patted Lu Xueqing's hand, "In fact, the World Sea is currently operating normally and has never perished."

Lu Li's thoughts raced, "Could it be because... of the senior's son?"

"If no one were to shoulder the burden and move forward, how could this world enjoy peace and prosperity?"

Xue Zhiyu said with emotion.

Lu Xueqing, standing to the side, was also surprised. It was the first time she had learned so many secrets about her family. In the past, she had always wondered where her great-grandfather had gone.

However, she had never met her great-grandfather, so she didn't really know him. In fact, she had never even met her own grandfather. Among her immediate family members, she had only met her mother and great-grandmother.

"So that's it..."

Lu Lixin was filled with emotion, and in that instant, he guessed many things. At the same time, he was filled with admiration for that senior.

Because if it weren't for the other party's unwavering support, who knows what this world would be like, and perhaps he wouldn't be where he is today.

"There is one more thing I don't understand. Since the enemy exists on the vast river of time and space, do they come from the past or the future?"

Lu Li asked again.

Xue Zhiyu glanced at Lu Li in surprise, then at Lu Xueqing, her eyes seemingly filled with satisfaction. "You're quite clever, kid, to have noticed this. That's right, if we trace this problem back to its source, the issue actually lies in the timing."

"This junior only had a sudden inspiration; please enlighten me further, senior."

Lu Li said modestly.

"Alas... This is an old matter. You two may not know that in the past, there was no concept of time in this world, no scale to measure the development of things, and therefore no regular reversal path."

Xue Zhiyu sighed and said, "In the ancient war, which was the era when they fought against the faction of that thing inside you, the supreme figures of the World Sea were about to be overwhelmed and had to find a way to break the deadlock. Thus, they had time. They kept trying to restart the world and turn back time, which gave them a chance to catch their breath."

"In the end, we won. The forbidden one who created time died because he restarted the world too many times. Even my son couldn't save him. Because he restarted the world so many times, he had become involved with three people with the power of the tenth rank. One move affects the whole body. The others could live, but he couldn't. However, he was also very open-minded. He said that he was too tired in this life and just wanted to sleep and rest. So, before he died, he passed on the concept he held."

Xue Zhiyu recounted the events of that year, saying, "The hidden danger lies here. After the victory in that great war, we should have erased the concept of time from the world's ocean."

"why?"

Lu Xueqing was completely confused; she hadn't figured out what the time had to do with the unknown tenth level.

Lu Li seemed to be deep in thought, and said with a solemn expression, "The enemy comes from... the future."

Xue Zhiyu nodded. "Yes, although it's just a preliminary speculation, you probably know that since time can be reversed within the Sea of ​​the World, there must be past, present, and future. We live in the present, but the future also exists."

She continued, "Actually, if the original time taboo were still alive, none of this would have happened. It's just that His successor was incompetent, leading to an infinite expansion in the future..."
