đź“– Chapter 1095 - Uncompromising!
As the scene continued following the thread, Wang Baole watched intently. In his eyes, it seemed almost like a camera lens was panning through the starry sky.
Through this lens, he saw countless stars, countless galaxies, and countless figures, as if he was looking at the history of the entire Never-Ending Dao Domain.
But the lens was moving too fast, so everything was just a blur. Finally, after a long time passed… the camera lens paused in a desolate and colorless space!
There were no stars here, nor was there any civilization. There were only some scattered ancient ruins, and these ruins wavered between reality and illusion, giving off an extremely bizarre feeling.
Even stranger, these ruins were all of different styles. If it was before Wang Baole had gone through the past life trial, he wouldn’t have found anything strange. The universe was so vast, and there were so many different civilizations, so it was completely expected that varying architectural styles could be found.
But when he saw the ruins, Wang Baole’s pupils instantly contracted. Among the ruins, there were clearly some which belonged to… the architectural styles of his past lives!
Thus, this desolate and colorless region of space instantly became full of bizarre mystery!
After Wang Baole observed the area carefully, he saw that the purple thread extended deep into the heart of the region. However, he was still too far away to see its end.
“Keep going!” Wang Baole said calmly. But although the lens obediently tried to follow the purple thread, it was blocked just outside the outermost ruins.
Wang Baole let out a sigh. After thinking for a moment, he asked.
“What is this place?”
An aggrieved consciousness feebly fed information into Wang Baole’s mind.
“Erased?” Wang Baole was stunned. The Book of Heaven’s Mandate’s answer didn’t make much sense, but he quickly figured out that it just didn’t know what to call this place. Thus, it instinctively gave him an answer that was in line with its own understanding.
Wang Baole pondered for a moment. For a book, the word “erased” meant that some words or pictures had been removed due to some mistake…
Looking at it from this point of view, Wang Baole suddenly comprehended a little but. But he was still a little surprised; he hadn’t expected there to be such a place in the starry sky.
Obviously, Zi Yue was hiding in this place.
After thinking for a while, Wang Baole spoke up again.
“Slowly circle around the perimeter.”
This time, things went relatively smoothly. The lens through which he was viewing the future shifted, gradually moving around the “erased” region in a circle and allowing Wang Baole to roughly estimate its size. However, after moving a quarter circle around, it stopped.
“Blocked again…” The strange feeling Wang Baole got from this place was growing stronger and stronger. This time, it wasn’t the colorless region that blocked the lens, but rather the seemingly empty starry sky around it.
“Try again from the opposite direction!” Wang Baole said. The lens moved back the way it came, circling around the other side, but soon… it was blocked by the empty starry sky again.
The two impassable points seemed to be directly across from each other, as if there was a huge invisible wall there. And the colorless region was attached to the wall, so the camera lens couldn’t perform a complete circle.
The invisible wall made Wang Baole think of his life as the little white deer. Back then, he had smashed through the end of the universe… Narrowing his eyes, he gave the colorless region a deep look.
"Let's go back."
As soon as he spoke, the Book of Heaven’s Mandate seemed to be extremely excited. In an instant, the scene in front of Wang Baole’s eyes rewound rapidly, and in less than an incense stick’s worth of time, it returned to the original point. Then, it disappeared.
Wang Baole was no longer looking at the scene of the future, but rather at the scenery of the present Planet Heaven’s Mandate. The Book of Heaven’s Mandate under his palm immediately erupted with an incredibly powerful repulsive force.
This force was far greater than before, as if it had been building up over the past period of time. When it burst out, Wang Baole’s hand was actually bounced back more than one chi, completely leaving the page.
After Wang Baole’s hand was knocked away, the Book of Heaven’s Mandate seemed to be extremely elated. Its figure blurred, and as if fleeing, it disappeared, leaving behind a whistling sound.
This whistling sound was similar to the sound of wind, but… when it fell into the ears of the onlookers, they all thought the same thing – the Book of Heaven’s Mandate was cursing someone out!
The whistling was the sound of cursing!
As for the target of the curses… that was glaringly obvious.
All the people in the surroundings were stunned silent, including the old servant next to Reverend Heaven-Learned. This was… the first time he’d seen such a human side from the Book of Heaven’s Mandate.
“It must have been through a lot of torture. It didn’t waste a second in running away…”
But soon, the expressions of the onlookers changed again, and the looks on their faces became filled with sympathy. That was because… just when the Book of Heaven’s Mandate ran away, Wang Baole’s hand suddenly pressed down again.
There was clearly nothing but empty space in front of him, but the moment his hand pressed down, the fleeing Book of Heaven’s Mandate somehow appeared right beneath it, causing Wang Baole’s hand to smoothly land on its body.
The book seemed stunned for a moment. After a few seconds of stillness, it immediately began to tremble violently, and wails seemed to project outward from its body. The onlookers didn’t even know how to describe how they were currently feeling.
After hesitating for a moment, the old servant just sighed without saying anything.
As for Reverend Heaven-Learned, his face twitched, and he looked at Wang Baole with a helpless expression.
Wang Baole’s expression didn’t change, seemingly ignoring the pitying gazes of the onlookers. His eyes flickered with thought as he recalled the route to that colorless region. Finally, he looked at Reverend Heaven-Learned and spoke in a sincere tone.
“I still couldn’t see it clearly. I have to go again.”
As soon as his words came out, the surrounding crowd couldn’t bear it any longer. An uproar instantly broke out.
“He wants to go again?”
“I’ve seen people bullying people, but I’ve never seen a person who bullies a book!!”
“That poor Book of Heaven’s Mandate! It’s been a sacred existence for so long, but today it’s being bullied to such a degree!”
“Unbelievable! Unprecedented! I never would have imagined that a future-viewing session could turn out like this!!”
As the crowd clamored, the Book of Heaven’s Mandate seemed to be wailing and crying, transmitting infinite grievances toward the surroundings. It felt that its dignity was being trampled on, and that this couldn’t go on any longer. Suddenly, waves of determination spread out, carrying the feeling of someone who would rather break than bend.
Wang Baole sensed the book’s determination, so he mentally called out to a certain person.
“Yiyi, this book is being disobedient. How about you just rip it up? I’ll get you a new one.”
After a while, Little Missy’s sigh echoed out from the broken mask in Wang Baole’s arms.
With that sigh, the Book of Heaven’s Mandate suddenly fell silent. A moment later, just when Reverend Heaven-Learned was about to speak up, the book suddenly took the initiative to bump up against Wang Baole’s hand, releasing a clear clapping sound.
As if it felt that doing so wasn’t enough to prove its obedience, it even jumped up and down several times in a row, touching Wang Baole’s hand repeatedly and even rubbing against it in a servile manner. Then, unprecedentedly powerful ripples spread out from it, instantly enveloping the whole of Planet Heaven’s Mandate and even the entire Heaven’s Mandate Star System.
Reverend Heaven-Learned immediately shut up.
The old servant looked like his eyes were about to pop out, and the surrounding crowd was completely struck dumb…
“Where is your dignity!?”
“Heavens, I must be hallucinating! Wang Baole, you’ve completely destroyed my heart’s image of the Book of Heaven’s Mandate!!”
“Why does this scene look a little strange… It’s almost like…” Li Wan’er had an odd expression on her face. She couldn’t help but shoot Wang Baole a glare.
