Chapter 769: Existing in this World Now

Time raced forward. The Immortal Realm crumbled a double-speed. The Immortals fled, hiding at last in Heart Lotus City as the last scraps of the Immortal Realm crumbled away. Heart Lotus City floated in the void for a time, then began to fall apart itself. Soon nothing remained, except Huis cardinal beasts, the white-robed Hui, and the Golden Immortal.

The white-robed Hui looked at the Golden Immortal. Now I possess the Immortal Realm, he declared, patting the garbage realm. And you possess nothing.

The Golden Immortal threw back his head and laughed. Ah! I did make the right choice. How amusing. No, youve never tried this before. Destroying the Immortal Realm incredible. It has weakened me. Do you think you can destroy me, now?

From Seniors confidence? No, Hui said.

Thats correct. No. You are still nothing but an usurper, and me, the absolute, the Golden Immortal declared. He threw his hand out. Loss flowed through the white-robed Hui, an intense, cold feeling, as time rolled backward. The Immortal Realm reformed, the cardinal beasts retreating, until the Golden Immortal froze it once more at the moment when the cardinal beasts stood at their directions, ready to send energy into the dragon veins. It was a quaint idea, a myopic guess at the extent of my power. But if thats all the more you have, then Im afraid this is yet another loss for you.

Hui grit his teeth. Im not giving up yet. He threw his hands out, clutching the power of time once more. I only have a limited understanding of time, based on what little I could glean from the Golden Immortals understanding of time by watching the loops from outside but even so! Yanking with all his might, he sent the power of time flowing backward, focusing it on the Golden Immortal.

The Golden Immortal frowned. He squinted at Hui. What are you doing?

Without a word, Hui sent more of the power of time hurtling at the Golden Immortal. The Golden Immortal raised his hand, deflecting it. Hui twisted his hand, and the power of time whipped around and shot at the Golden Immortal from behind. He jerked out of the way, narrowly dodging the beam.

Interesting. Thats the first time hes defended or dodged an attack. Hui quickly spawned a mental clone and handed over control of the first attack to it. He grabbed more of the power of time and sent it flying at the Golden Immortal, then more, then more, until all the mental clones were busy sending beams of time at the Golden Immortal. Gripping one himself, Hui joined the clones, relentlessly pursuing the Golden Immortal.

The Golden Immortal dodged, deflecting another three attacks with quick palm strikes, then slammed his foot down. A shockwave spread through the air, disrupting the power of time. Time fell into chaos, shattering all around them.

Hui stepped forward and found himself three steps back, twenty seconds ago. The Golden Immortal loomed, only to reappear past him, his blow already completed. Everything stopped, and Hui helplessly watched the Golden Immortal approach, drawing his sword, only to suddenly teleport backward, hemmed in by Huis beams of the power of time.

Mmm. This is almost certainly a loss, and its a loss I dont know how to recover from. What do I need to do?

What if I could make it an absolute loss? A loss even the Golden Immortal couldnt bear? If I can defuse the situation right now, and get outside of the chaotic time, then I have a chance of sending myself a message or somehow securing my memories for future me. Or rather it isnt possible to defuse this situation. No! Im going to blow it up directly.

And by it, I mean me.

Hui paused. He put a hand to the top of his head. Golden Immortal! Ill destroy myself!

The Golden Immortal squinted skeptically at him. Yes?

Completely and fully. Ill completely erase myself from time, Hui threatened him.

The Golden Immortals look turned even more skeptical.

Hui coughed. Dammit, he knows me too well. Well, okay. Ill be reasonable about it. Im not going to kill myself. But! I will, absolutely, fully and truly, destroy all my memories of my first world. I will make myself completely useless to you!

No.

Unless you

The Golden Immortals hand appeared in Huis vision and clamped down on his head. Dragging him, the Golden Immortal flew directly through the chaotic time. Circling, he closed in on the Immortal Realm, even as the Immortal Realm continued to fly backward in time. This far back in time, the Immortal Realm was barely as large as the mortal realm, and rapidly diminishing in size.

Hui grappled at his hand, startled. Er, did I accidentally, maybe proc Seniors aggro a little too hard?
