Boom!

The full-power attack of a Mythical creature was indeed powerful enough to break through the world barrier.

Wei Huo threw a punch and saw a light coming from the bottom of the 18th level. He dived and entered the Void Realm.

This was the second time he had entered the Void Realm. This place was still the same. When he felt that his surroundings were white, the Void Realm would become snow-white. However, when he felt that the Void Realm was black, the Void Realm would become pitch-black.

Just as Wu Bin had said, this place was like a human brain. As long as one thought about it, the surroundings would change accordingly.

Wei Huo arrived in the Void Realm. There was no world barrier around him, as there was no distance in the Void Realm. Once he arrived, he would be far away from all the other worlds.

If one did not have a home in one’s heart or certain coordinates, one would get lost in the Void Realm.

Wei Huo observed his surroundings, but there was no need for him to do anything. This was a place deeper than the universe. He did not even know if he was moving, as he could not feel anything. Perhaps he was moving forward, but there was no reference system around him. That was why he did not know where he was or the state this place was in.

That was the consequence of entering the Void Realm in a hurry. Fortunately, Wei Huo was at the Mythical stage. He could still extend his vast mental strength. As long as he extended his mental strength, he could always capture something.

The Void Realm had no concept of time, so Wei Huo did not know how long he had been waiting for. He just kept extending his mental strength and searching for something.

Based on his past experiences, there should have been a creature in the Void Realm. Wei Huo had found it, but the Void Realm was too big. It was not easy to find a group of wandering creatures.

However, Mythical creatures had an unlimited lifespan. Wei Huo could wait. He spread his mental strength. The range of the Rule Power spanned dozens of star systems. It was like weaving a Rule net and waiting for his prey to take the bait.

However, the Rule net did not capture any God Annihilation Beasts. Instead, it captured a ray of light that was very weird.

The light carried a weak energy. According to Wei Huo’s analysis, it was very likely a sun. However, there was a problem: Where had the sun come from?

Besides, the light was not affected by Wei Huo’s imagination. This meant that the light was not coming from the Void Realm. It was coming from the real sun.

Wei Huo chased after it. He kept chasing after the light. The Void Realm was like that. As long as one had a target and a physical body as a reference, one could move. Otherwise, one could not move.

Wei Huo chased after the light and kept moving forward. However, his speed was not fast. No, it would be more accurate to say that the Void Realm was too big. Wei Huo even thought that the Void Realm was infinitely big, so the light might never reach its destination.

However, there was only one thing Wei Huo could do now. He had to follow the light.

Gradually, the Void Realm around Wei Huo was filled with light. This was because the Void Realm was affected by this light. Wei Huo could influence the Void Realm, and so could this light. The Void Realm was something that replicated one’s thoughts. Not only would it be affected by life with a soul and cognition, but it would also be affected by all sorts of lifeless substances.

Wei Huo chased the light for an unknown number of years. It seemed like both tens of thousands of years and an instant. Then, Wei Huo saw a huge river.

The light disappeared as soon as it entered the river. Wei Huo observed the river carefully. There was no flowing water, but fragmentary scenes. It was just like a human’s memory. Memory was formed by accumulating scenes. This river was exactly like that.

However, Wei Huo saw many familiar people in those scenes. The Snake God, Chen Xuanyue, Lu Qiqi, Ma Tengyun, Wu Bin… People that Wei Huo knew and did not know. The scenes of their lives were accumulated in the river.

Besides humans, there were also animals, plants, microorganisms, and many other things stored in the river.

Wei Huo gradually understood that this was a river of time. It recorded all life, all matter, and all existences in the world.

Wei Huo started flowing down. He observed the river of time as he flowed. This was something only Mythical creatures could do. There were too many scenes in the river. Normal people would feel dizzy just by looking at it and would not find the information they wanted.

However, Wei Huo could do it. He kept moving forward until he saw himself, his newborn self, and his biological parents.

Just as Wei Huo had guessed, his parents had been ordinary people. They had been very ordinary people. However, an accident had happened later. His parents had encountered a calamity when they had been out working. His young and ignorant self had nearly starved to death at home, but he had been saved by a Divine Artifact couple.

That was the whole story. Wei Huo was indeed an ordinary person, but perhaps that was his fate.

This river was not only the river of time, but also the river of fate. Wei Huo tried to use the Rules to stir the memory fragments in the river, but a voice came from somewhere. “I advise you not to do this.”

Wei Huo looked over and saw an unfamiliar person. He seemed to be around 24 or 25 years old and he was wearing casual clothes. However, Wei Huo felt that he was familiar.

Moments later, Wei Huo recalled that this person was one of the figures he had encountered under the Dao Enlightenment Pines on Kunlun Mountain. The first figure had been a Dao Lord, and the second figure had been this person.

“Who are you?” Wei Huo asked.

The other person said, “You can call me Xiao Cheng. This was my name a long time ago. Of course, you can also call me God of Time or Lord of Spacetime. Anyway, I’ve had countless names over the years.”

Wei Huo asked, “What is this place?”

Xiao Cheng replied, “As you can see, this is a huge river. You can call it River of Time, River of Destiny, the main storyline, the memory chain, anything.”

Wei Huo was confused. “Storyline? Memory chain? Why do you call it that way?”

Xiao Cheng said, “Come with me first. I’ll explain everything to you when we reach the end of the river.”

The end of the river?

Wei Huo was shocked. If the river had an end, did that mean that fate, time, and everything else would end at that moment?

Wei Huo followed him immediately. This was a big deal. Did this end mean that he would disappear along with the world and the river?
