786 Beginning and End

As soon as Cui Heng finished speaking, a figure that seemed to be condensed from billions of lights and shadows appeared.

He seemed to be the starting point of everything, the source of everything. Everything came from him, and all myriad techniques came from him.

This was Beginning.

Jiang Qiqi could not see his appearance clearly. She could only see an incomparably mysterious ball of light that contained endless information.

Cui Heng was different. He could clearly see Beginning’s appearance.

It was actually a young man who looked energetic. His appearance was even a little youthful, and he looked to be only 16 or 17 years old.

“I didn’t expect you to be able to reach such a realm.” Beginning looked at Cui Heng with a sigh and chuckled. “You can actually evolve a path to reach such a realm with your cultivation method. Impressive, impressive, really impressive! As expected of you.”

He praised Cui Heng three times in a row and kept sighing, as if he was very surprised by Cui Heng’s current achievements.

Moreover, from his tone, it was as if he knew Cui Heng.

It was like an old acquaintance.

“You’ve been plotting to snatch something from here?” Cui Heng stared at Beginning with a cold expression and said in a low voice, “Good plan, good methods, how dare you!”

Just now, Beginnings had first wiped out all the future possibilities in the timeline, he then solidified the future of the timeline with the mysterious chip that Jiang Qiqi had pulled out of the fog. It was obvious that he wanted to snatch that chip.

Moreover, Cui Heng discovered another problem. The moment the mysterious power on Jiang Qiqi’s body appeared was when he began to investigate the crystal.

These two things were completely connected in the timeline.

In other words, only when Cui Heng came here to investigate that mysterious crystal would the future of the mysterious power that appeared on Jiang Qiqi’s body and attracted the mysterious crystal in the fog happen.

This must have been arranged by someone.

This also meant that someone had treated Jiang Qiqi and even Cui Heng as pawns. Their goal was to snatch this mysterious crystal hidden in the fog at the core of the Earth.

The only person who could do this was probably Beginning who was standing in front of him.

“Hahaha.” Beginning was not angry at all when he heard this. Instead, he laughed and looked at Cui Heng. “Just as I expected, you still don’t understand your true appearance. You’re not my match. Don’t fight with me. Just give me that crystal.”

“My original appearance?” Cui Heng frowned slightly. He vaguely felt that this might be the greatest secret hidden in his body, but he did not follow his initial train of thought. Instead, he continued, “Do you want to surrender yourself, or do you want me to do it myself?”

Now that he had already confirmed that they were enemies and not friends, he naturally would not be polite.

The reason why he did not attack directly was because he was not sure of Beginning’s strength for the time being. Although the two of them had fought on the level of time for a short period of time just now, he could only determine that Beginning’s strength was not weaker than a Peak Return to Void cultivator.

Moreover, it was a Peak Return to Void cultivator with the power to greatly change the future.

He was definitely the strongest and most unfathomable existence he had seen since he started cultivating.

“You haven’t even returned to your original appearance, and your strength must be inferior to before. You actually dare to speak to me like this.” Beginning laughed loudly, and then his expression suddenly turned cold. “How stupid!”

Before his words could reach Cui Heng’s ears, the light on his body began to affect space-time. Whether it was the past or the future, he existed on the tributaries of every timeline.

In these countless timelines, Beginning’s body shone with an incomparably bright light, dominating everything from the beginning of time to the future. It continuously sealed the timeline where Cui Heng might escape and cut off the future timelines where Cui Heng might win.

In the blink of an eye, the various tributaries of the River of Time had been demarcated from the beginning, occupying countless possibilities. Every possibility pointed to one future—

Cui Heng would be killed by him!

When the countless possibilities in the timeline all pointed to only one outcome.

This was the future that would definitely happen.

This was also the essence of Beginning’s realm. He could dominate the development of everything.

As long as he set a direction for the future, everything would naturally develop according to his wishes.

To any living being whose realm was inferior to Beginning or who occupied less timelines than him…

They did not even have a chance to resist. As long as Beginning had the thought, the future was already destined and could not be changed.

However, Cui Heng’s expression was normal in the face of such methods. He did not even counterattack, as if he was not worried that such methods could affect him at all.

That was because although Beginning had specified the future and steered it to the only conclusion of death for Cui Heng, if he wanted this future to be realized, he had to satisfy a prerequisite.

That was that his strength could defeat Cui Heng.

He had to really be able to kill Cui Heng before this future would solidify according to his arrangements.

After all, specifying the future was actually only to solidify a possibility of the future into a future that would definitely happen. It could not make something impossible possible.

Beginning quickly discovered this problem.

Although he had specified the direction of the future, he did not have the ability to let this future happen.

No matter which timeline it was, no matter what methods he used, Beginning was unable to kill Cui Heng.

Therefore, in these future timelines, Beginning’s attacks were either dodged by Cui Heng or directly resolved by him. They could not affect Cui Heng at all, let alone kill him.

Cui Heng was too powerful!

His Dharmic powers at the Peak Return to Void Realm was powerful to the extreme. Even a supreme existence like Beginning who was born at the starting point of time and had accumulated power for countless years, could not compare to the current Cui Heng.

“How can this be? What kind of cultivation path did you deduce?” At first, he looked at Cui Heng in surprise. The current situation was indeed beyond his expectations, making him find it unbelievable. “You shouldn’t be so powerful. Even an Existence shouldn’t be so powerful!”

“Existence?” Cui Heng noticed this keyword. His eyes narrowed slightly as he chuckled. “Looks like you do know a lot of secrets. How about telling me?”

This was the second time he had mentioned “Existence”.

Previously, when Jiang Qiqi’s body emitted a power that could stabilize everything, Beginning said that Jiang Qiqi had fused with a portion of the power of “Existence”.

Now, he mentioned it again.

“Heh!” Beginning only sneered, and the aura around his body suddenly began to transform. He said in a low voice, “Could it be that you still think that I can’t do anything to you? You’re indeed stronger than I expected, but this doesn’t mean that you won’t be killed by me.”

Just as he spoke, Cui Heng suddenly felt an extremely drastic change in the future timeline. An extremely dense aura of destruction actually surged upstream from the endless future and crazily surged towards this time point.

Everything, myriad techniques, and myriad Dao began to collapse and dissipate!

The final moment that should have happened countless years later actually began to speed up, as if everything would end in advance!

This incomparably powerful aura made Cui Heng’s heart skip a beat. He could even clearly feel the extreme emptiness after everything ended.

However, this also allowed him to understand who was attacking at this moment. He frowned and said, “End?”

“Wrong, it’s still Beginning!” A strange smile suddenly appeared on Beginning’s face.

His original youth appearance instantly transformed into an old man, and he grinned, revealing a row of incomplete teeth.

“Of course, it’s also End!”

“I will send you to the final silence!!”
