# Chapter 1891: Fragments (Part 1)
"Lingxi, let me show you something."
Just as Xiao Lingxi was about to ask, she saw a dark stone slab appear in Yun Che's raised hands.
The moment her gaze touched it, her heart suddenly trembled violently for no reason, as if struck heavily by a giant hammer, and the words she was about to ask got stuck in her throat.
"Th-this is..." As she spoke, her mind and eyes became unusually dazed.
"It's something Jie Tian Mo Di left for Meiyin before leaving, and Meiyin then gave it to me," Yun Che said. "What's inscribed on it should be..."
Before he could finish, the originally dull, lusterless black stone slab suddenly emitted a dense dark demonic light.
"..." Yun Che's voice stopped. The same phenomenon as before, yet it still stirred his heart.
The dark demonic light rapidly dispersed into thousands of beams during its release, but instead of shining into the distant space, it eerily stopped in midair, projecting one after another, piece after piece of strangely shaped characters.
Primordial Divine Script!
Xiao Lingxi looked up, staring blankly at the floating strange characters, murmuring softly, "It's... the Heaven-Defying World Scripture again."
Compared to the surprise and confusion when she first saw the Heaven-Defying World Scripture, her current state of mind was more of an indescribable ethereal feeling.
Perhaps influenced by Jie Tian Mo Di's power, or perhaps it was naturally so, the Primordial Divine Script reflected this time was pitch black in color.
"The Heaven-Defying World Scripture was divided into three parts, and this is the final part," Yun Che said with emotion. "It remained incomplete even in the distant Age of Gods, yet now it has been brought together in our hands."
The first part of the Heaven-Defying World Scripture came from an ancient demon that had survived from the Age of Gods through the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel—the Eternal Night Demon Lord.
The second part was obtained by Qianye Ying'er from the Tai Chu Divine Realm.
The third part came from Jie Tian Mo Di, who, in common understanding, had departed eternally.
Ancient, present, and beyond the realm.
Three parts of the Heaven-Defying World Scripture, spanning three entirely different times and spaces, were brought to completion in Yun Che's hands.
At the same time, it meant that for the first time in this world, a complete Ancestral Divine Art would appear—a relic of the Ancestor that even the ancient Creation Gods and Demon Emperors had never been able to see.
Seeing Xiao Lingxi staring blankly at the sky above for a long time, Yun Che tentatively asked, "Can you still recognize these Primordial Divine Script characters?"
"Mm," Xiao Lingxi nodded lightly. "Not only do I recognize these characters, but the content they inscribe... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before... but I've clearly never seen it."
Yun Che: "...!?"
Xiao Lingxi's lips parted slightly, and she began to recite slowly: "The zenith of the sky, the constancy of the earth abyss, the universe bound at its limits, the azure vault eternal path..."
"Lightning's sorrow, thunder's despair, cold's bitterness, ice's lament, wind's grief, cloud's anguish, mountain's sorrow, rock's mourning, flame's misery, blaze's weeping, light and dark merge into the irreversible between, ultimately returning to no thought, no delusion, no recollection, no rumination..."
The sound of Xiao Lingxi's voice flowed gently into Yun Che's ears... Just like before, although it carried no profound force at all, being only the purest and most pristine voice of a woman, it irresistibly went straight into the deepest parts of his mind and soul.
Yun Che's eyes had unknowingly closed. His consciousness, completely beyond his own control, spontaneously isolated everything external, entering a special state of emptiness.
In that emptiness, there was only Xiao Lingxi's voice, and a Ancestral Divine Art that was being engraved completely step by step with her voice.
"...One mind gives rise to ten thousand thoughts, ten thousand thoughts ultimately lead to no desires, no desires return to nothingness, nothingness gives birth to ten thousand spirits, ten thousand spirits nourish ten thousand hearts... Others are not oneself, oneself is also others, the beginning of heaven, the end of earth, the creation and destruction of chaos, the end of reincarnation... its beginning and its end, all lie in nothingness..."
Xiao Lingxi was completely unaware of Yun Che's state, continuing to recite softly.
Her eyes gradually became vacant, her expression froze, and her voice was extremely slow and even, almost devoid of any emotion or fluctuation.
As the Heaven-Defying World Scripture—the Ancestral Divine Art—gradually became complete in Yun Che's sea of consciousness, it simultaneously spread out fully within her own soul...
Above in the sky, Mu Xuanyin watched from afar as the two suddenly fell into a strange state, her heart filled with doubt, yet she dared not approach.
As for what Xiao Lingxi was reciting, though she clearly heard it in her ears, it was instantly forgotten, not lingering in her mind for even a moment.
"So this is... the Heaven-Defying World Scripture?" Mu Xuanyin murmured softly.
"...No light is darkness, no darkness is light, no path is the path, no order is order, only emptiness is endless, only non-action is eternal."
As the last word fell from Xiao Lingxi's lips, the dark demonic light suddenly dissipated in an instant. The pitch-black Primordial Divine Script in the air completely vanished, leaving only a lusterless dark stone slab quietly resting before Yun Che's knees.
At that moment, the light in Xiao Lingxi's eyes also suddenly faded. Her pupils gradually disappeared, and the world before her had turned into a grayish-white expanse that swallowed everything, seemingly endless.
Then, within the endless grayish-white world, a blurry image suddenly emerged. Just as her consciousness instinctively tried to make out this image, another dozen scenes silently appeared.
Then came a hundred scenes... a thousand scenes... ten thousand scenes... millions of scenes... billions of scenes...
The sudden endless scenes easily shattered Xiao Lingxi's fragile sea of souls. Her collapsed consciousness could no longer perceive the existence of her body, and she fell straight backward.
Yun Che was completely unaware of all this.
...
What is nothingness?
All things and beings in the world are born from nothing, end in nothing, evolve from nothing, transform into nothing. It is the beginning of everything and the end of everything.
What is the Void Law?
In this world, only Yun Che possesses the Void Law.
Yet he is completely unable to explain what the Void Law truly is.
The existence of the Void Law allows him to directly absorb the power from profound crystals, or even from profound beasts and profound pills, turning them into his own power. It allows him to forcibly control and harness the Divine Legacy Artifacts and Source Power of the King Realms without possessing the corresponding bloodline.
Those fundamental laws inherent in cognition and common sense simply do not exist before him.
He does not know how to operate the Void Law, nor can he even perceive its existence within his own body or power.
But he simply possesses these abilities that break—or rather, ignore—the rules, naturally possessing and wielding them.
Just like how his eyes suddenly, and yet so naturally, came to recognize another kind of color, requiring no practice, no learning, no comprehension, and certainly no external medium.
The Ancestral Divine Art that Xiao Lingxi had translated for him—he had never been able to comprehend it, nor had any way to do so. But after that, abilities that transcended cognition and rules would inexplicably and naturally manifest upon him.
It was also after that that he had several times suddenly entered even more inexplicable and bizarre "dreams."
And now, in Yun Che's sea of consciousness, fragments of various "dreams" were chaotically interwoven:
"Yuanba, you're really amazing. Grandpa says you're the number one genius that Liu Yun City has seen in a thousand years, and that you might even shake the entire Cang Feng Kingdom in the future... I'm so envious of you."
"Hehe... Actually, I'm the one who's envious of you. You have a little aunt, and you can do everything together. But my mother passed away early, and I'm all alone at home, without even siblings. If I had an older brother or sister... even a younger brother or sister would be fine, then I wouldn't be so lonely and bored."
"Why don't you ask Uncle Xia to marry a few new concubines? Then he can give you lots of younger siblings."
"My dad would never agree. Every year, lots of people try to get my dad to marry new wives and concubines, but he never agrees."
"..."
This was a dream that Yun Che had fallen into before, now appearing once again in his sea of souls.
Yet it was completely different. The previous "dreams" were ethereal and blurry; after waking up, he would only have vague and fragmentary impressions, which he would then forget... After all, it was just a bizarre dream.
But now, even though he was immersed in the dream, Yun Che's consciousness was extremely clear!
The "dream" presented before him was even incomparably clear, as clear as if it were truly playing out before his eyes.
He could see Xia Yuanba's appearance very clearly.
The "Yun Che" in the dream looked like his childhood self, and beside him was Xia Yuanba... about ten years old, a year younger than Yun Che, yet half a head taller. However, compared to his tall stature, his body was exceptionally thin and gaunt.
Completely different from the Xia Yuanba he knew, who had been big and burly since childhood!
And this thinness was by no means the kind that should appear on a ten-year-old child... His shriveled body was coiled with muscle lines so tight they were startling.
As if every cell in his entire body was dormant, eagerly waiting to explode with immense power.
He was only ten years old.
Yun Che had never seen such a bodily anomaly.
And when he met Xia Yuanba's eyes, Yun Che's soul experienced a momentary violent tremor.
A childish face, eyes that showed care and determination toward the young Yun Che... yet within them lay a piercing divine light.
Yun Che was no longer the weak youth from Liu Yun City. He stood at the highest plane of the world, had defeated the most powerful beings that once existed, and there was nothing left in the world that could threaten him.
But the innate divine light from the child Xia Yuanba—which could only be inborn—caused this Divine Emperor of the God Realm's soul to tremble.
The Xia Yuanba he knew and was familiar with possessed the Overlord Emperor Divine Meridian, an extremely rare talent even in the God Realm. If Xia Yuanba had been born in the God Realm, even in an upper Star Realm, he would surely have become a Realm King.
But... the power of the divine light in the child Xia Yuanba's eyes was clearly far greater than the Overlord Emperor's Divine Might he would unleash after awakening the Overlord Emperor Divine Meridian in the "future."
A kind of divinely bestowed anomalous body, its level even above the Overlord Emperor Divine Meridian.
And such a divinely bestowed body, already so astonishing at such a young age, was something Yun Che had never seen before, nor did it seem recorded in the history of the God Realm.
If one were to find a reference point for its level...
It was certainly no weaker than the "Glazed Heart," which only appeared in females.
With the clearest consciousness and the most alert gaze, Yun Che stared at the Xia Yuanba in the "dream"... At ten years old, he had a thin body, a divinely bestowed body above the level of the Overlord Emperor Divine Meridian, and a completely different future...
But no sister... no siblings at all.
Why was such a dream appearing?
And appearing again?
And this spine-chilling sense of reality—what was going on!?
