Chaotic World Book

Chapter 813: Time and Causality


Zhao Changhe dared not touch this page of the Heavenly Book. Ye Wuming only lacked this one page, and Zhao Changhe did not know what would happen if he touched it again—would it directly mean Ye Wuming obtained the ninth page? Even though theoretically, this page still belongs to Ye Jiuyou, he didn't dare to try.

He only dared to enter his Divine Sense to perceive, attempting to see if he could gain anything from afar.

Ye Wuming watched him from a distance with closed eyes, observing his cautious demeanor. She felt that she should remain expressionless, yet she didn't notice when her right hand had clenched tightly.

Ye Jiuyou seemed to sense something and looked far into the distance, but Ye Wuming had already disappeared.

Ye Jiuyou didn't see anything, yet a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Her gaze fell back on Zhao Changhe, scrutinizing his expression, trying to see if he gained anything from the Heavenly Book. However, she was startled to find that Zhao Changhe had already entered a state of Meditation.

This page is the Time-space Page; time and space are interdependent. Different times at the same location can witness great changes.

Earlier, when he saw Ye Wuming's garden, Zhao Changhe felt a sense of temporal stasis, as only the stillness of time would allow for the vibrant growth of ancient plants, which Ying Wu could directly pluck for alchemy. In hindsight, a similar phenomenon was observed on Tianya Island, though Tianya Island is not a Secret Realm; Secret Realms are fragments of the Heavenly Realm, while Tianya Island is a place in the Human Realm... If viewed from this perspective, could Tianya Island be the convergence point of the Heavenly and Human Realms?

In the future, he could revisit Tianya Island. With a different understanding, his discoveries there might also differ.

At least in retrospect, he could combine it with that Light and Shadow Book page to explore the relationship between light and time.

Zhao Changhe vaguely remembered theories linking light and time existing in the real world. Unfortunately, he only knew of the concept and not its details. Nonetheless, it didn't matter, as the Light and Shadow Book could directly provide related insights, which could correspond with the Space-time Book page. Additionally, they could corroborate causality, and true and illusory reality.

Indeed, as previously expected, each page is almost interrelated. Acquiring a new page greatly supplements and verifies the value of the previous ones, further completing his understanding, clarifying his knowledge and insights of various Laws.

Currently, this place is the mountains outside the Jiuyou Abyss, and the so-called Jiuyou Abyss should be Ye Jiuyou's birthplace.

Zhao Changhe, in a haze, traced back the origins. The reality before him shifted and blurred, as if a river of time and space flowed, with countless chaotic images fleeting past, seeking the upstream of the river of time in rewind.

He soon saw scenes from before the epoch's destruction.

Unexpectedly, he saw the long-missed blind one—the image of the battle once fought by the Ye Family sisters here.

This was Zhao Changhe's first time seeing Ye Wuming with open eyes... Something he had been curious to see for so long suddenly appeared before him, leaving him stunned. Indeed, very beautiful, her eyes are much like Ye Jiuyou's, only... unsurprisingly cold, so cold it's frightening to gaze upon, instilling a shivering trepidation.

A few days ago, he had mocked Han Chi for respecting Ye Wuming excessively. Now, even Zhao Changhe felt a tug at his heart—these two extraordinarily alluring women, who looked remarkably similar, fighting was supposed to be a beautiful sight, yet Zhao Changhe felt only a chill down his spine.

He couldn't grasp their movements or see through the Laws governing their collisions, only feeling that the ripples from their energy clashes seemed on the verge of shattering the space. If he, claiming to be the top of the Heavenly List, were caught in the core of their battle, he feared he wouldn't withstand two moves before being pulverized.

Moreover, both appeared unlike their current selves in his understanding... Both had an extremely indifferent expression, eyes devoid of any human emotion, as if seeing each other as corpses even in combat confrontation, lacking even the semblance of hatred.

In contrast to the now vividly expressive Ye Jiuyou... Ye Wuming's transformation, at least, happened gradually over nearly three years. Ye Jiuyou's change seemed abrupt after Chang'an, and Zhao Changhe truly didn't know what happened in those few months, practically a mutation.

Everyone familiar with Ye Jiuyou would repeatedly question this—when did she become this expressive? Even Ye Jiuyou herself didn't know.

The sisters' confrontation was not as verbose as now. Zhao Changhe watched for a long time without hearing a single word of mutual taunts or ridicule, only silent fighting. It was not until much later that Ye Jiuyou showed signs of defeat, her lips bleeding at some point.

Only then did Ye Jiuyou retreat slightly, casually wiping the blood from her lips, saying indifferently, "You can't kill me, sister... Nor should you hunt me under the guise that I caused the Silent Annihilation of the epoch. Although I did some things, I am aware that my actions do not reach the extent of causing such destruction. If it's my doing, I am not afraid to admit it, but don't try to pin things I didn't do on me, a bunch of nonsensical stuff."

Zhao Changhe's heart stirred slightly.

Indeed, given the meaning Jiuyou represents, many slightly knowledgeable people might speculate that she caused the epoch's destruction... Why had he never suspected this... It was because Ye Wuming never led in that direction from introducing Jiuyou; had she introduced her with just a hint of misleading, he might have thought so.

This indicated that Ye Wuming disdained using such defaming tricks for misleading, despite them being mortal enemies.

Ye Wuming responded, "Your slaughter and destruction are contributing factors to the final result... But I am not here to kill you under that banner."
