"Dad, your eyes!!" Almost as soon as Wang Baole looked at Chen Han, Chen Han's pupils constricted, and his hair stood on end.
"Hmm?" Wang Baole's expression was one of exhaustion. Although he had only been in enlightenment for a short period of time, it had drained him greatly. Seeing Chen Han like this caused Wang Baole to gape in shock. He waved his right hand, causing a rippling mirror to appear in front of him, in which his own face could be seen.
The first thing Wang Baole saw on the surface of the mirror was, shockingly, the image of a blood-colored centipede!
"This …." The sight caused Wang Baole's heart to tremble. He quickly closed his eyes. After a long moment passed, he opened them, and the image of the centipede gradually faded away.
Chen Han's heart was still pounding with fear. Just now, when he had seen the blood-colored centipede in Wang Baole's eyes, he had felt as if he had just encountered a natural predator deep within his soul. It was as if that gaze could cause him to collapse.
Although Wang Baole had returned to normal, the feeling from moments ago was still lingering in his heart. After a long moment passed, Chen Han forced himself to speak in an attempt to change the subject.
"Dad, I have enough Guiding Light, but I still haven't succeeded in gaining enlightenment." Chen Han spoke, but Wang Baole wasn't in the mood to speak now. His mind was still replaying the strange scene that he had just seen, as well as the images that he had comprehended. Therefore, he only nodded at Chen Han and didn't say anything before closing his eyes again.
Seeing this, Chen Han didn't dare to disturb him any further. He backed up a bit, looking at Wang Baole with a bewildered expression. For some reason, he had the feeling that Wang Baole wasn't in the right state of mind.
As for Wang Baole, as he shut his eyes, he tried his best to calm his thoughts. After a long while, he finally managed to do so. Only then did he recall the numerous fragments of memories that surfaced in his mind. Even though there were only eight clear images, what they brought to Wang Baole, who was now sober, was endless shock. It wasn't just because of the blood-colored centipede's image in the images … there were also other factors!
The first image was of a vast universe. There were countless stars and countless living beings in the universe. Among these living beings, there were many races. Among them, the race that ruled the universe was called the celestial race!
There were countless godly spirits in the celestial race. What was depicted in the image was a celestial called Xin Huo, who had gone berserk and slaughtered everything!
In the image, a blood-colored centipede was lying on a star, looking at the Xin Huo celestial race!
That scene made Wang Baole's heart tremble violently. The second image also shocked him. It was a universe ruled by zombies. In the image, Wang Baole saw a zombie who liked to look at the heavens. He also saw a young girl who was silently accompanying the zombie.
This should have been a warm and comforting scene from his previous life, but now … in this second memory fragment, in the sky … there was actually a gigantic blood-red centipede looking down at them with malice in its eyes!
"This … this …" As Wang Baole's chest heaved, he quickly looked at the third memory fragment. What appeared in it was his life as the Demonic Blade. As the Demonic Blade, he kept devouring his master until he met the girl. The image depicted the scene where the Demonic Blade killed the girl!
Wang Baole clearly saw that at the moment the Demonic Blade pierced the girl, their surroundings were dyed red, and they were enveloped by the blood-colored centipede's huge body!
The fourth image was the same. Chen Yang, the Chosen of the clan, was filled with boundless grief and madness. He hated Heaven, Earth, and everything. However, in that world, there was also a blood-colored centipede, which was watching everything!
Then came the fifth memory fragment. What appeared in it was Wang Baole's previous life. In that life, he was the little white deer, carrying a little girl on its back, walking in the starry sky. In the image, the blood-colored centipede still existed at the end of the starry sky. When looking at it from afar, it seemed to be restrained …
When Wang Baole saw this, he understood why the blood-colored centipede was restrained. It must be because … the little girl's father was beside them!
"What does the blood-colored centipede represent …" Wang Baole's breathing quickened as he quickly looked at the sixth memory fragment. He clearly remembered that in his previous life, he didn't succeed in comprehending it. There was only coldness and darkness.
Therefore, he really wanted to know … whether or not this sixth memory fragment represented the world of the butterfly ….
However … it didn't take long for Wang Baole's mind to fill with roaring. That was because in the sixth memory fragment, what appeared was not the world of the butterfly, but rather, the starry sky!
Within the starry sky was a special planet. The reason it was special was because it wasn't fixed in place. Instead, it was constantly shrinking and expanding, almost like a heart!
A giant centipede lay on top of the planet. The centipede continued to devour the planet, hissing loudly. The sound landed in Wang Baole's mind, and he felt as if his heart was throbbing with pain.
The pain caused Wang Baole's body to twitch. His heart was filled with confusion, and he wasn't sure why this was happening. Gritting his teeth, he looked at the image in the seventh memory fragment.
Within the image was a vast sea. It was green and clear, but soon … a blood-colored sea appeared, which spread out to cover the entire sea. Then, the sea began to dry up, revealing a vicious blood-colored centipede at the bottom of the sea!
Why did the scene turn out like this? Wang Baole's heart trembled as he looked at the last memory fragment. In the memory fragment, what appeared was the scene that he had seen after he had rushed out of the house!
When he had rushed out of his room, he had seen the blood-colored centipede. Now … his perspective had changed. He was standing on top of the coffin, and … he was looking at himself!
The image ended there, and Wang Baole's eyes snapped open. His insides were roiling, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. He was swaying back and forth, and his face was ashen. Disbelief filled his eyes.
"Why … did the final image fragment show me standing on top of the coffin … and seeing myself? That's obviously the blood-colored centipede! That's not right!
"What's even more strange is that this ninth life should have happened in the distant past. Why is it that the memory fragment shows me a few lives after that?!" Having reached this point in his train of thought, Wang Baole suddenly looked up, his eyes shining brightly.
"I've been disturbed!" That was the most direct reason he could think of, and the only one that could explain the problem with the timeline. Furthermore, if he tried to trace the origin of all of this, it would all begin in his eighth life, when he saw the blood-colored centipede!
Wang Baole was panting. As he continued to uncover the secrets of his past lives, the answers to all of these questions were slowly being revealed to him. Now that he had finished looking at all of the memory fragments, he instinctively wanted to see someone else's ninth life!
"It's a pity that Chen Han didn't manage to comprehend his ninth life … But it doesn't matter. Someone will definitely succeed in this trial!" At this thought, Wang Baole's eyes flashed coldly. He stood up abruptly, and without waiting for Chen Han to ask, Wang Baole's body flickered. He instantly stepped into the fog and sped through it.
"There are about fourteen to fourteen hours left until the tenth day. There should be enough time!"
With that thought in mind, Wang Baole sped up. His divine sense spread out in the fog as he began his search. Although there was a restriction on divine sense in this place, that was only applicable to ordinary Planet realm cultivators. Although Wang Baole's cultivation base was still a hair's breadth away from the peak of the perfected Planet realm, his combat power had long surpassed that.
That was especially so due to the insights he had gained in his previous lifetimes, which had brought about the resonance between the nomological laws and nomological laws, as well as the influence of the nomological laws of time. That had enabled Wang Baole to resist the power displayed by the hexes.
However, this was the trial ground of the Celestial Fate Planet, so the power of the restrictions seemed to have no limit. As Wang Baole's divine sense spread out, although it expanded greatly in an instant, the fog began to retaliate. It seemed to increase the power of the restrictions in an attempt to restrain Wang Baole to the same level as before.
As the restrictions continued to increase, the pressure came with a rumbling sound. Wang Baole's divine sense was also suppressed. This caused him to frown slightly. His eyes flashed, and after a moment of thought, he suddenly spoke.
"Old Ape, I'm in a hurry!"
