Chapter 1109 1109: Afterword 3
"My future... father-in-law..." A Fei still hadn't reacted to whose and what it was, when suddenly saw Bao'Er sweep both hands across the void.
The void unexpectedly tore open like a curtain, ripped by her hands into a space passage.
A Fei was dumbfounded by the sight, wondering what kind of terrifying power this was that could casually rip apart space and form a space passage, which is much harder than simply breaking space.
Li Xiu knew even more how terrifying Bao'Er's skill was; it was not merely ripping the void, but breaking through world barriers.
Back then, Li Boyang worked so hard to break through a world barrier, coming from the prison world he spoke of to this world.
Bao'Er casually tore open the world barrier, undoubtedly proving she was a Cosmic Level entity, and not an ordinary one at that.
"Let's go, Ling'Er and everyone are waiting for you." Bao'Er held Li Xiu's hand with one hand and A Fei's hand with the other, walking towards the space passage. A gleam of golden light rose from Bao'Er's palm, coating Li Xiu and A Fei in a layer of gold light.
The two were led by Bao'Er into the space passage. They didn't feel any discomfort, just watched as the space before them warped into various strange shapes, like a constantly changing kaleidoscope.
Li Xiu, pulled along by Bao'Er, felt the gold coin, now cosmic currency within him, suddenly burst with light, emitting purple-white rays that ascended and transformed into a Tai Chi. It instantly drew Li Xiu in and disappeared.
Li Xiu felt the scene change before him, finding himself suddenly standing before the virtual stone gate at the end station of the Time Tunnel. The cosmic currency had landed on the stone gate, and as the purple-white light on the currency merged into the stone gate, the gate slowly opened, revealing an eerie light from its cracks.
The light shone on Li Xiu, and he felt his body slightly sink as though a great force was pulling him, making him involuntarily fly towards the open virtual stone gate.
Li Xiu struggled twice but couldn't break free from the force, so he let it pull him inside the virtual stone gate.
Although his body was still Cosmic Level, the damage to his Spiritual Sense made it difficult to control his body; he could do very little.
Boom!
As Li Xiu was sucked into the gate, the virtual stone gate closed directly, and all the lights disappeared, as if it had never opened.
Li Xiu's feet touched solid ground, only then realizing he had come before a giant void grave.
The massive void grave was like a mountain, with various bizarre items stuck into it, some common like swords, spears, and halberds, and some unusual ones Li Xiu had never seen, including a black pot on top of the grave.
At the peak of the grave, a cloth banner was planted, inscribed with four words: "Counting the Celestial Mandate."
"Welcome to the world without gods, where you will begin and end. Please leave an item representing your identity on the Celestial Tomb. If you die there, this item will be your final tombstone. People and items coexist, when people perish, items fall. Whether you were a god, demon, immortal, or saint, henceforth you will merely struggle to survive as an ordinary person in this terrifying world. In this world, even the most ordinary person was once the ruler of a world, but here they are just ordinary people who could die at any moment. Your task is to survive, to make it to the end..." The tomb had no inscribed words, yet a featureless sky monument suddenly radiated light, with a voice echoing in Li Xiu's mind.
"I came the wrong way, I don't want to go to this world without gods, can you let me go back?" Li Xiu sighed, looking at the monument.
"Came the wrong way..." The voice unexpectedly echoed again in Li Xiu's mind: "Interesting, how can one go the wrong way to such a place? Without Cosmic Level power, it's impossible to get here, so being Cosmic Level means you didn't come the wrong way. Regardless of going wrong or not, there's no turning back; you must keep going, god, immortal, saint, demon, whoever comes, it's the same."
Li Xiu knew this must be Li Boyang's world, and he smiled upon hearing this: "I'm undoubtedly Cosmic Level, but my Spiritual Sense is damaged and I can't even control my body, so what's the use of proceeding?"
The monument light radiated again, bathing Li Xiu's body, and after a moment, the eerie voice echoed in his mind once more: "Strange... truly strange... your Spiritual Sense is damaged to such an extent... It shouldn't be... what did you actually do..."
"I didn't do anything, just slightly modified the cosmic origin data." Li Xiu said casually.
"Nonsense... Even if it's a small universe's origin data... It's not something a mere Cosmic Level can modify..." the eerie voice coldly responded.
"Perhaps I miscommunicated." Li Xiu explained the process of seeing the data stream and then modifying them.
After Li Xiu finished speaking, the eerie voice didn't reappear for a long time. When Li Xiu was about to speak again, the voice resounded: "Your Spiritual Sense is exceptionally strong, an existence unmatched among small universe visitors I've seen, alas. But rules cannot be changed; you came here, there's no way back, only forward. Though the chances are slim, you're not entirely without hope; if you're born in the right place, your Spiritual Sense might quickly recover and even become stronger, though it's exceedingly rare, thousands to one chance, hopefully you're lucky enough to leave your token on the Celestial Tomb."
