Chapter Thirty-Five: The Crystallization of the Thousand Worlds
"Yes, Grand Master, it is the deity Haotian. I don't know why, but it has the same name as the Jade Emperor in our world."
"Continue," Zhang Sanfeng replied to Zhang Wuji telepathically.
“Grandmaster, the human race in this Tianyuan Sacred Realm has only been developing for a few hundred years, which is much shorter than the development time of the human race in our world.”
"But now it seems that Blood Battle City, a single human city, is more prosperous than the civilizations that have developed over thousands of years, including our Great Ming Dynasty."
"This seems unbelievable, and from what I understand, the development of humanity over the years is like...like..."
Zhang Wuji's voice began to break up, becoming hesitant and unsure of what to say.
"Like what? Tell me your guess."
Zhang Sanfeng was a little curious about Zhang Wuji's guess.
"It's like, it's like there's someone pulling all this from behind the scenes!"
"Screech!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng was so surprised that he tore off several of his own beard hairs.
Zhang Sanfeng touched the broken part of his beard, and was about to say something to Zhang Wuji when he suddenly seemed to sense something, and his expression changed drastically.
"Shut up! Wuji, watch your words! You're not allowed to say things like that again!"
Zhang Sanfeng's urgent words entered Zhang Wuji's mind through telepathy, leaving Zhang Wuji somewhat confused.
"Grand Master, I..."
"Wuji, listen to me, you won't go wrong!"
Before Zhang Wuji could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Sanfeng's telepathic message.
"Huh!"
Just as Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji were talking, Yuan Hao, who was sitting high on the Source Power God Throne in the Heavenly Dao Space, suddenly let out a surprised sound.
"This Zhang Sanfeng is quite good. He's a talent. No wonder he's that person's projection. It was worth coming here specifically to devour the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber world."
"Considering you are a talented person, I will sever your connection with that person today."
After speaking, Yuan Hao looked down at Zhang Sanfeng and drew a line on his head with his finger.
Unbeknownst to others, countless threads sprouted from Zhang Sanfeng's body, densely packed and connected in an unknown manner.
These densely packed threads represent the cause and effect of Zhang Sanfeng's life.
Among the countless causal connections on Zhang Sanfeng's body, one of the thicker ones connects to Zhang Wuji, who is standing next to him.
After Yuan Hao's finger swept across Zhang Sanfeng's head, all the dense causal lines covering Zhang Sanfeng's body disappeared.
A massive, incredibly thick causal force appeared above Zhang Sanfeng's head, a force far more powerful than any of the previous causal events combined.
After Yuan Hao's finger swept across the area, the thick line of cause and effect on Zhang Sanfeng's head was cut in two and then disappeared.
"From now on, you will only be Zhang Sanfeng, and you will no longer have any relationship with anyone else."
As soon as Yuan Hao finished speaking, an incomparably powerful will descended upon the Heavenly Dao Space of the Tianyuan Sacred Realm from an unknown place.
This will had not fully descended before it spoke.
"I'll see today who dares to mess with me! Are they looking for death?! I'll show you my demon-subduing... demon..."
"Haha! So it's you, Venerable Time and Space! I wonder why you've stirred up my causal threads and summoned me here? I was just cursing the Infinite Serpent."
"I had just drawn my Zhenwu Sword and was about to go and fight it when I sensed your call."
"As soon as I sensed your presence, I forgot all about disciplining the Infinite Orochi and immediately abandoned it."
"Is there anything I can help you with, sir? If not, I'll be going now. Take care!"
"I wish you a successful journey to liberation in advance. Goodbye!"
After the master of that supreme will descended, he saw Yuan Hao sitting upright on the God Throne of Origin Power, looking at him with a half-smile.
Upon discovering Yuan Hao atop the God Throne of Origin Force, the powerful being's expression changed. After hastily uttering a few words, he hurriedly attempted to retreat.
"stop!"
Looking at the will that was about to dissipate within the Heavenly Dao Space, Yuan Hao, sitting on the Throne of the Force God, spoke calmly.
As Yuan Hao finished speaking, time began to freeze and then began to rewind at the place where the will of that powerful being dissipated.
As time rewinds, the powerful will that had dissipated begins to slowly coalesce, gradually returning to its original form when it first arrived in the Heavenly Dao Space.
"I wonder what brings the Daoist of Time and Space to me, who has stirred up my causal threads and summoned me here? Please tell me."
The powerful will that reappeared within the Heavenly Dao Space looked solemnly at Yuan Hao on the Source Power Throne and slowly spoke.
As he spoke, the connection between this powerful will and his physical body became intermittent and barely perceptible.
If the situation turns against him, he can easily sever the connection between his physical body and this will.
"Leave behind a crystal of the universe, and I will let it go."
