Chapter 723: 665 Luck One

Just as Li Chengyi hurriedly halted the effects of the Flower Language Technique, he was unaware that all disciples of the Xuanji Sect were at that moment witnessing an inexplicable glimmer of light.

The glimmer led their eyes toward the direction of the immense ship.

At the same time, every disciple felt an indescribable surge of emotion.

’Heavenly Fortune in action: In the instant you lay eyes on that massive ship representing headquarters, it’s as if you see the person who once appeared in your memories, whom you most revere and are closest to. That person is... your father (mother, grandfather, brother, ancestor, master)....’

In that moment, countless disciples of the Xuanji Sect simultaneously looked past the deck of the flying ship; their consciousness focused on Li Chengyi, and they instantly developed a deep sense of adoration for him....

Li Chengyi: "....."

His consciousness power was incredibly strong, and he too immediately sensed something was amiss.

But everything... was already too late....

"Father!"

"The Great Heavenly Father!"

"Father has granted me life!"

"The Heavenly Father bestows upon us growth, the very foundation of all creation.... Praise be to You, oh Great Father..."

The disciples of the Xuanji Sect knelt one by one, bowing deeply.

They ceased their fighting; most were willing to withstand hardships rather than turn away from kneeling devoutly.

An inexplicable and sinister aura began to seep out from the entire battlefield.

Within the cabin of the flying ship.

The eyes of the Xuanji Sect Master were hazy with confusion as she looked at Li Chengyi, her thoughts conflicted and contradictory.

In that instant, she couldn’t believe that she saw the silhouettes of all her loved ones and important friends within him.

How could one person encompass such a phenomenon? Even if their demeanors were similar, it wasn’t possible to resemble so many different individuals!

As a Saint, she realized in an instant that she had been ensnared.

Yet, as she gazed upon Li Chengyi’s familiar face, the ineffable feelings of emotion and sorrow that arose in her heart prevented her from striking him, despite knowing she had been ensnared.

Compassion, closeness, adoration, veneration, longing—all sorts of positive emotions would flood her mind at the mere sight of Li Chengyi.

Li Chengyi: "....."

He looked at the entirely depleted Heavenly Fortune Flower Language; the Flower Language Ability he had saved up for so long had been emptied in an instant.

He had forcibly stopped it earlier... but in the final moment, it had all been consumed.

’Speechless.... This Flower Language Ability is just too random... I should be more cautious in the future.’

The earlier Good Fortune Flower Language could still be considered within controllable limits, at least making some logical sense. But this Heavenly Fortune now had reached a level of illogical control, arbitrarily twisting the will and emotions of everything.

It gave Li Chengyi an indescribable sense of crisis.

Even as the beneficiary, he felt such powers were too exaggerated and dangerous.

Just imagine, if everything around you could change at the whim of your thoughts, if the will of people, their joys, and sorrows, could all shift according to your desires, then what meaning would such a world have?

If the entire world were just a plaything, it might initially feel amusing, novel, comfortable.

But soon enough, everything would become dull and uninteresting, even treating everything as a plaything, thus losing all respect and reverence for the world. The only outcome would be emptiness.

’Additionally, I’ve been accumulating Flower Language for so long, and it seems like I only used a little bit just now, right? The rest of the Xuanji Sect disciples, even if numerous, are weak. The influence shouldn’t have cost much.... So where did all that excess Floral Fortune go??’

Li Chengyi clearly remembered that in the last second, all the Flower Language vanished in a flash, the remaining quantity completely used up.

And before the quantity was depleted, he had already felt the emotional changes in the Xuanji Sect disciples.

This means that their changes had occurred beforehand, not caused by the residual Heavenly Fortune Flower Language.

The majority of the Flower Language must have been consumed by something else.

Where exactly had they been spent??

Black Sea・Unknown Region.

In the unknown, without borders, where the ordinary person can perceive nothing, they see only pitch black before their eyes.

The black represents non-existence, but also encompasses all things.

The unknown lies between existence and nonexistence, it might become something at any moment, or it might become nothing.

Moreover, any known creature entering it would gradually become eroded, their cognition blurs into chaos, their bodies lose order, shattering, becoming part of the unknown. They turn into uncertain, terrifying entities like a Void creature or like the Colossal Beast.

The form of existence for Behemoth Asladuni is precisely this, residing between existence and non-existence, illusion and substance, order and chaos.

It is in a constant state of change, representing the apex of indefinite forms, whether in body or in consciousness.

This also means that it has very little sense of personal consciousness.

Because consciousness itself is the crystal of order.

Only based on fixed notions of cognition and logic can a whole awareness form.

Hence, the Void Mother and the Colossal Beast, who use other methods to cross boundaries, are looked down upon by the other Omniscient beings.

They believe these two have merely become slaves to the unknown.

At this moment, from the known regions to the vast space-time where Li Chengyi was located.

In the unknown, strings of bubbles occasionally floated by, ascending and swiftly moving in a direction unknown to anyone, destination unknown.

In the darkness, only these transparent bubbles remained, the sole points of reference.

A giant red snake with two human faces was rapidly swimming through the Black Sea.

On the back of the serpent stood a tall man, clad in a regal red Floral Dress.

The man’s Floral Dress was as heavy and massive as mech armor, and on his head, he wore a helmet with a single horn like that of a rhinoceros. A ring of fine purple eyes, resembling inset amethysts, stood out just above the helmet.

"Haven’t found it yet, Lei Xi?" a voice arose beside the man. "The eleventh is about to awaken, and His Majesty has started to enter Divine Eagle Nation. You must find the third generation here before taking action simultaneously with His Majesty. Otherwise, arousing the Tian Ju Pavilion’s attention will complicate matters further."

"Tian Ju Pavilion must have noticed our actions; they are just too arrogant," the horned man replied coldly. "Besides, you don’t think searching for the third generation in the unknown is an easy task, do you? The Black Sea unknown comprises timeless space bubbles, each a gateway to an ancient Black Sea. Even for me, searching through a known region of the Black Sea requires immense energy."

"There’s no choice. The third generation vanished abruptly and then appeared outside the Black Sea’s temporal and spatial realm. If we don’t move swiftly, I fear the passage of time will soon allow him to grow."

"Don’t worry, the moment the achievement of Omniscience occurs, His Majesty will sense it. The absence of any sensation now indicates that he is still far from Omniscience," Lei Xi said calmly.

"Let’s hope so," the voice replied, growing deeper.

Lei Xi exhaled and gazed into the distance. His senses were continuously searching all the regions around him.

Everything in the unknown realm was indeterminate, but the third generation would necessarily exist in a stable area within it.

Thus, one merely needed to keep searching the surrounding bubbles.

Each bubble represented a known region of the Black Sea.

They were akin to regions controlled by the Lian City Association, except that the association’s domains were vastly larger; these bubbles were less than one percent the size of those within the association’s control.

As the most powerful Divine Flower General among the Twelve Flower Generals, closely following His Majesty and an All-Knowing Pinnacle, Lei Xi felt exhausted entering this realm to search for everything.

The bubbles in the unknown were countless, in the billions and trillions, perhaps even more.

Each bubble contained an immeasurable number of blind spots, terrifying expanses that began at billions upon billions of light-years.

Without being an All-Knowing Pinnacle, one could not hope to swiftly search for the third generation’s whereabouts.

An All-Known Pinnacle needed only to scan a bubble, leveraging the natural authority of Omniscience over the known, to instantly learn all known information from the ancient to the present within this Black Sea bubble.

This was equivalent to reading all the records contained in an entire bubble.

Were it not for the scent of the third generation to filter through, even Lei Xi would find it extremely challenging to fully read through a bubble’s record of information.

Guided by the sensed direction of the third generation’s approximate aura, he continued his search, filtering through all the bubbles encountered along the way.

Within the Omniscient realm, information also had its own unit of measurement—Heng.

Every second, the amount of information equal to the birth and death of a hundred million stars flashed through Lei Xi’s mind. That was one Heng.

And this was the quantity remaining after his filtering. Utilizing the trait of Omniscience—thought equates to reality—once he touched any Black Sea following a bubble, he could instantly obtain all known information about the Black Sea there.

Of course, it was also possible that the third generation was hidden within a Cyclical Seal, blocking his senses, but if that were the case, he wouldn’t be able to detect the third generation’s specific direction. Therefore, the current situation meant that the third generation was not sealed.

The Black Sea nested within another Black Sea, the unknown mingled with known bubbles; in such an infinite realm of time and space, even Omniscience could lead to fatigue over time.

Lei Xi felt just that.

If it were only the present, it would be manageable, but he had to search through all the Black Seas of the past as well. The volume of information was tremendous.

As he concentrated on his search,

suddenly, an inexplicable impulse emerged naturally within his heart.

’After all, His Majesty won’t be watching me all the time, why not slack off a bit?’

’Hm!? Lei Xi’s brows furrowed and his expression beneath the helmet instantly became grave.

"It’s the Flower Language Ability of fate!" Being a Divine Flower General, he was extremely sensitive to the Flower Language Ability. He felt that something was amiss the instant Heavenly Fortune was invoked.

Although the thought emerged naturally and even originated from him without the slightest discord,

he immediately realized that this was not normal!

Just as he was about to convey a message to His Majesty, reporting the situation,

suddenly, a string of small, newly rising bubbles caught his attention.

The cluster of tiny bubbles was dense—there were at least hundreds of them, each one very small.

’These bubbles, they look kind of like a fish...’ An inexplicable thought surfaced from his heart.

In that moment, he stared blankly at the bubbles, with no desire to investigate them; he simply wanted to watch them rise slowly...

Wait a minute!

What am I doing!? Why have I suddenly stopped!?

Lei Xi’s eyes narrowed as he became serious once again, his consciousness sweeping over that string of bubbles.

But soon after, another strange and unbidden impulse arose from within.

’Hmm? The bubbles over here are also pretty, resembling the divine floral patterns behind little Twelve.... Every time I see little Twelve, it reminds me of the peach blossoms back home, their pink hue evoking nostalgia...’

Gentle and harmonious thoughts floated up in his mind.

’No! I must inspect the bubbles! I cannot neglect His Majesty’s important task!’ Lei Xi’s gaze sharpened again.

’Even if it’s a significant matter, my luck can’t be that bad, can it? It’s not possible to find it in a split second anyway, and it’s unlikely that the third generation is precisely in the bubbles I’ve missed. I might as well just go through the motions. His Majesty won’t notice such detail.’

The expression on Lei Xi’s face became languid and soft again.

’Huh? The scenery inside this bubble is quite nice; perhaps I can take a short rest. If I accelerate the time-space inside, a second could equate to a year of rest... It definitely won’t cause any trouble...’

A new thought rose once more.
