Chapter 764: Corners of the World

Hui flew on his own. The blue sky stretched overhead, the sun beaming down. A gentle breeze rustled his hair. The Immortal Realm panned by below, placid lakes and wild forests, beautiful villas and the small, mortal-esque towns.

The Immortal Realm should be enormous, larger than the mortal realm, but even from here, I can still see Heart Lotus City, Hui thought, watching over his shoulder as he flew. Its as if space is compressed, and yet, I still need to fly the original distance to reach the final point.

Is it the Golden Immortals attempt to imitate the slow travelling speed from my world? Hes only copying all the worst parts, the worst bits only! Next thing, hes going to try and implement traffic and stoplights! He must be stopped, at all costs!

As he watched, dozens of cultivators leaped up from Heart Lotus City. Gold cultivators rushed to meet them, the two clashing in midair. In the center, a cultivator who looked almost exactly like Hui emitted a fierce, murderous aura as he led the charge.

Hui winced. Song Wei, even if you wear my skin, in what world would I ever lead the charge? Ahhh no. Itll have to be good enough. The Golden Immortal will know somethings off, but hopefully hell chalk it up to me behaving strangely at the tail end of a loop rather than guessing that I am actually Song Wei. Or well, knowing me, he might well assume that Song Wei isnt me, but that Im hiding on the back lines and watching someone in a me-disguise lead the charge, which is very me-like. Sorry to disappoint, though! Im directly fleeing the battle instead.

He flew on, putting more space between him and the city. The battles lights and sounds faded as quickly as they arose, falling into the background. Even Heart Lotus City vanished, swallowed up by the forests. The further he flew from Heart Lotus City, the more small villages cropped up. The Immortals in the villages wandered by, unaware of Hui flying overhead. He gazed down, watching the towns cycling on their loops within loops.

I still dont understand the Golden Immortals decision there. If he wanted them to live like mortals, sure, loop their lives away, but if he has full comprehension of time, why not make their time run faster instead? In fact, even better, leave them outside of the larger worlds loop, so their time can continue to progress, within their own loops, to slow down time without resetting it. But instead, almost as if theyre an afterthought, they loop within the loops. Its almost like he made a classic programming error, but hes an Immortal, not a programmer.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Theres a lot about those villages thats self-contradictory. If I assume he has full control over time, then it doesnt make a lot of sense. But if I dont make that assumption, then

No answer from the garbage realm, huh? Iiiiinteresting. Yes, lets just put that in the back of my mind and hurry on to the ends of the realm. This is only the first part of my plan.

Using his messaging technique, he called out to the others. Is everyone in place?

Silence. Hui hovered alone.

He swallowed. Are they okay? Did the Golden Immortal get them all? I know Ying Lin said she was going to cover for us, but what if she failed? Theres no way she could, but what if she did? I should have sent clones with everyone. I know Im trying not to use clones so much, but just in case, I should have, I

A quiet hiss.

Hui jerked upright. Zhubi? Is that you?

Its Zhubi. And me! Im in place, too! Bai Xue returned.

Ive arrived, Li Xiang declared.

Hui nodded. He lifted his eyes to the distance, where the golden light still faintly glowed. Song Wei, thank you. And Im sorry. You deserved better than to be our sacrifice.

But maybe you dont have to be forever.

He took a deep breath, then threw his hand out. Then, lets begin the final realm-breaking!
