Long after that, Li Qi and Zhu Fengdan left the place where Xiantian resided.
Li Qi remembered this place—a link that belonged not to the real universe, but only to the "coordinate system."
To mortals, this place did not even exist. It could not be found through any connection of time or space; it did not even share a causal relationship with the outside world.
In truth, this was the same as the gap between existence and reality.
For mortals without reality, they could not realize that their lives were not as stable as they had once believed. At some point in time they experienced, time itself—and the past—could suddenly be completely erased, turning into phantoms.
Then, to mortals, those erased "phantoms" were "nonexistent."
They were things of fantasy. Mortals would never be able to touch those "histories that did not exist."
And Xiantian had created his own branching space-time within those "histories that did not exist." Thus, under normal circumstances, without obtaining the coordinates, no one could find Xiantian.
He hid within his turtle shell, dealing with no one and existing in no space-time that anyone could interfere with.
So the question was—
...how had Zhu Fengdan obtained Xiantian's coordinates?
Perhaps that was a secret. Li Qi simply had no intention of asking what that secret was.
There was no need to ask.
After leaving Xiantian, Li Qi could see that because Xiantian hid in this place, the things he created could not interfere with the so-called "real space-time" outside.
This was where the things Li Qi created showed their power. They inserted themselves into this causal chain amid the evolution of ordinary space-time. Because the form Li Qi constructed was so powerful and complete, the branches he established seemed alive—they could pass through Eternal Space-time, perfect themselves, and
