Chapter 268: Past and Future

The long river of time, eternal and hurried, no beginning, no source, no end.

Even if it is the power of the ether one, the oldest can only be traced back to the era when Pangu opened the world. Taiyi's gaze only saw the scene of the opening of heaven and earth, and he wanted to continue to trace back to the past, but was blocked by a chaos that covered the sky and the earth. It was an even more distant era of chaos, and his gaze could only stay here, unable to see deeper.

In that even more distant era of chaos, the world had not yet been born, and the heavens and the earth had not yet been opened. The whole world is in chaos, and even if there is time, it is in a state of chaos and disorder, and it is impossible to trace its origin back to it. In his gaze, he could only see a river flowing out of the chaos under the cover of chaos, flowing into a more far-reaching future.

Tracing the gaze of the past, stop at the era when Pangu opened the world. Slowly turning his gaze, Taiyi wanted to search for Pangu's figure, but found nothing.

Although the source of time is said to be the era of opening the world, but at this time, the air cannot accommodate the existence of Pangu. Therefore, Taiyi could only see the earth, water, fire, and wind surging, and endless power erupting, but he couldn't see a trace of Pangu's figure.

"—I can't see the Father!" Taiyi sighed, a little regretful. But he also knew it was normal. If traces of Pangu can be found at the source of time, Pangu will not be like this.

Only when you truly cultivate to the realm of Daluo and advance to the realm of profundity, will you find that time and space are not separated, and although the past has passed, it is not eternal. Although the future has not yet arrived, it is not without a trace. Even if the current Taiyi falls, as long as he is alive in the past, he will never die.

In the same way, it can be proved that if Pangu really existed in the past time and space, then even if Pangu fell, it could be reborn from the past time and space. But he was not reborn, Taiyi couldn't find any trace of Pangu in any time and space in the past, and he couldn't even find traces of the existence of the Yuan Shi Heavenly King and the Taiyuan Holy Mother, so Pangu was truly and completely Taoized.

Taiyi had a faint sense of loss in his heart. Although he had already guessed about this, he still felt a little disappointed when he really saw the results. But Taiyi's gaze did not leave, and he kept hovering in front of the chaos fault, looking at the long river of time flowing out of the chaos.

Another gaze towards the future, from now to the distant future, wants to see through the end of time. Strange scenes flashed in front of me, but those images would soon shatter, and the more distant the future, the more blurry and messy the picture became.

After he traced to two or three billion epochs, the long river of time was blurred, and he could only see the time flowing quietly. Occasionally, some broken, messy images flash by. These images are like tearing a complete painting into thousands of pieces, and only a part of it can be seen, and it is impossible to deduce a complete picture from it.

Continue to look into the future, from the primeval era, searching for the end of time, if it weren't for the near-boundless power of Taiyi, I am afraid that such an earth-shattering feat would not have been possible.

If it is a long river of time that really exists in Chaos, there is no end in sight. But time in the universe depends on 'being' being. Since there is 'there is', of course there will be an end. At the end of the long river of time, at the end of the universe.

Tracing from the distant past to the end of the long river of time, at this moment, the long river of time went berserk, but the originally vague river of time suddenly became clear, and Taiyi's eyes saw incredible scenes.

All things are destroyed, living beings are dying, the avenues are chaotic, and the laws are collapsing. All the pictures show the destruction of the universe and the result of the non-existence of all things.

"How could it be ......" Taiyi's eyes were filled with deep shock. No one can escape that image of destruction.

It is from existence to nothingness, from reality to illusion, and everything returns to chaos and nothingness in destruction.

Even in the midst of chaos, there is infinite destruction, and no life can escape the past. Almost all of the life light was extinguished long before destruction came. Even the few remaining rays of life light have completely withered in this great destruction.

From the distant past, looking at the scene of destruction that appeared in the long river of time, Taiyi was silent.

Continuing to look ahead, struggling to cut through the furious time, his gaze looked farther away. There is not chaos there, but a void deeper than chaos.

When the raging river of time plunged into nothingness, it disappeared in that instant, leaving Taiyi's gaze lingering here. Except for the raging river of time, the sight of the destruction of the universe, and the misty nothingness that followed, Taiyi's eyes could no longer see anything else.

Taiyi's gaze traced back to the past and the future, and just seeing the source and end of the long river of time made him completely understand the mystery of the Avenue of Time. Not to mention, he found a further direction in this hundred feet.

Standing in the Haotian Yuan Qi Sea, Taiyi's figure moved and disappeared into the sea surface of the Haotian Yuan Qi Sea. And the next picture can't help but be shocked: his real body has actually descended into the long river of time.

The long river of time is inherently formless, and even the true god of Da Luo, who is beyond time and space, cannot really come to the long river of time. But Taiyi did it.

Standing in the present, the long river of time is rolling and flowing under his feet. Gently moving his steps, Taiyi wanted to go backwards and go back to the past.

But at this moment, the long river of time that belonged to the past changed suddenly, and time turned into layers of torrents, like a mountain pressing on the top, hindering his steps. That vast force seemed to be the universe pouring all its strength into blocking him.

Suddenly, Taiyi's mind received a message, which was the advice that the Heavenly Heart Dao had transmitted to him through the long river of time: "Emperor, please do not go to the past, so as not to disturb the past time and interfere with the present and the future!"

Taiyi stopped moving towards the past, looked at the past time, shook his head a little helplessly, and gave up his plan to go back to the past.

Although he gave up his plan to go to the past, Taiyi did not leave the long river of time, but turned around and faced the infinite future.

"Since the past time can't go for a while, what about the future!" Taiyi asked Tianxin.

"The past is an established fact, and if you go back to the past, it will interfere with the present and the future, disturb the law of cause and effect, so you can't go back to the past. Tianxin replied to Taiyi: "The vast majority of the future is in a state of uncertainty, and you can move forward at will, but it depends on your choice." The future time is full of bifurcations, and once you get lost in it, it's hard to go back to the present!"

"Hmm......" Tai Yi nodded, feeling the Tianxin Avenue thoughtfully. Although the information answered was emotionless, Taiyi clearly sensed something special.

In this long river of time, the will of Tianxin Avenue seems to have an extra taste of feelings. In the past, I sought incomprehensible answers from the will of Tianxin, and the will of Tianxin was vague and hazy, and only in the sea of Haotian Yuan Qi would it become clear, but now in the long river of time, there was an obvious logic in Tianxin Dao.

Although it does not have the ability to think logically like life, the combination of this information gives Taiyi a feeling of facing life, but this life is a little special, so special that this life is the universe itself.

Thinking of this, he paused, turned a few thoughts in his heart, and walked towards the long river of time in the future without hesitation.
