Reversal

This kind of meteor is really inconspicuous, at least in the context of a fifth-rank battlefield.

Such a tiny meteor, like Weichen from outer space, could be blown away by General Zhou with a breath; it was impossible for it to interfere with the battlefield.

However, under the threat of causal fluctuations, both General Zhou and the Mohist cultivator are now using their 'full strength'.

It was a full-force attack, with not a single ounce of strength left, not even the strength to breathe, so this meteor was bound to interfere with the scene.

This made a thought flash through General Zhou's mind like lightning—

"Is the full force I'm exerting right now... also 'Heaven's Will'?"

This is the most terrifying aspect of facing Heaven's Will.

Are the actions you are taking now your own, or are they arranged by 'Heaven's Will'? Can you tell the difference?

You can't tell the difference.

Unless you can understand your own cause and effect, and achieve Human Path Confucian "knowing one's destiny", the Daoist "returning to the root is called stillness, stillness is called returning to one's destiny", or the Buddhist "opening up the six senses and seeing through the three lives", or simply something like the demonic path and martial arts, you can shatter your own causal lines, and from then on become a saint, with your spirit and body united, no longer subject to cause and effect, and no longer subject to the Heaven's Will.

The Reason Way also perceives the Heavenly Principle, while the demonic path is itself a master at manipulating fate.

But clearly, none of them, being fifth-rank officials, could do it.

Those who can resist 'Heaven's Will' to a certain extent must be at least of the fourth rank.

Fear gripped General Zhou.

This will not affect his actions, nor will it affect his behavior after making a decision. At the fifth rank, he has long been able to remain unaffected by emotions.

People can be unaffected by emotions, but they all have emotions.

Therefore, General Zhou only experienced simple fear.

Instinctively, there is a fear of the unknown.

An unknown third-rank expert has intervened in the battlefield; everything at this moment is under the control of 'Heaven's Will'.

This fear did not shake General Zhou, but it changed the actions of the Mohist cultivator beside him.

He was also overwhelmed by fear.

Similarly, as a fifth-rank official, he was not controlled by fear, but under the influence of fear, he made a different decision: he would defy Heaven's Will.

In the blink of an eye, the combined attack of the Mohist cultivator and General Zhou happened in a mere instant, less than one ten-thousandth of a second, far exceeding the speed of light.

So quickly, faced with this situation, they made two different decisions.

This created a rift in his cooperation with General Zhou.

With complete focus, Shen Shuibi seized the opportunity.

She transformed into Yin Qi, like a swimming fish, or perhaps embodying the smoothness of Tai Chi, and slipped through the opening.

This dodge wasn't perfect; she was still hit, resulting in injury.

But regardless, they managed to turn a certain death into an escape at the cost of serious injuries.

Having missed this opportunity, General Zhou has already withdrawn, and Shen Shuibi no longer needs to hold him back; she can continue to stall for time.

General Zhou missed this opportunity to kill him; next time, it will probably take several more quarters of an hour of maneuvering.

But how many quarters of an hour?

Cha Xike arrived in just a few dozen seconds.

In a few moments, the detectors were activated, but by then the daylily had gone cold!

This meteor only appeared and flashed by for a moment; it did nothing else, yet it achieved its purpose.

"It has failed," General Zhou said.

He didn't blame anyone, and in fact, it was impossible to blame anyone.

This is 'Heaven's Will'.

'Heaven's Will' is beyond human control.

This is the true Heaven's Will.

As long as the situation is changing, it doesn't matter how it was achieved.

What's the point of controlling a meteor? Does it have to crash into something?

From Wupin's perspective, such a collision was basically the same as being touched by dust; he might not even feel it.

However, there's no need to crash.

It only lasted for a fleeting moment, yet it was enough to influence the situation.

"We failed. Killing her will recover some of our losses. She is the strongest in the Shaman Path war zone. Without her, the Shaman Path assault will be much weaker," the Mohist cultivator said.

"Alright, let's try to salvage the situation as much as possible. Heaven's Will isn't omnipotent. Judging from what happened just now, he couldn't have a significant impact. It must have been our third-rank official who made the move," General Zhou said.

Just as they were talking, a dazzling flash of light burst forth from millions of miles away.

That was the aftershock of the Golden Core explosion.

Cha Xike used his own body as a container to move the exploded Golden Core and the remnants of the fifth-grade inner world to the center of the Human Path army.

He was merely moved here; he lacked the ability to refine it, let alone bear it. Just swallowing this energy was enough to kill him.

The energy from the explosion of the Golden Core tore apart his body and Dharma form, and was released once more.

As mentioned before, even if Shen Shuibi herself went in, she wouldn't fare well. The chaotic Daoist energy inside was extremely destructive, and she could only wait for it to calm down.

But at this moment, things didn't calm down; no one present could withstand the pressure.

Including Human Way army.

The remaining two fifth-rank soldiers, along with the remnants of the Human Path army, were completely swallowed up. No one in the Human Path army could react in time; the spread was too fast.

General Zhou watched the scene unfold, then gripped his halberd tightly again and charged toward Shen Shuibi.

A battle at the fifth rank usually lasts ten days to half a month.

But things are different now.

The other party suffered too much trauma.

If we can kill the opponent within 15 minutes, things might turn around.

But he also knew that it wasn't very realistic.

When Shen Shuibi has no worries and can escape or hide at will, even if there are two opponents of the same level, it is unlikely that she will actually escape.

But having missed the opening created by the opponent's earlier proactive attack, it would take another Chen or two to kill Shen Shuibi.

Then kill her in a Chen or two!

The battle resumed, and at this point, no one paid any attention to the probes.

The activation of the probe is now a fait accompli.

Liu Junyi sent another message, but neither General Zhou nor the Mohist cultivator paid any attention to it, as they could not afford to be distracted at this moment.

If she gets distracted, Shen Shuibi might drag things out even longer, and there could be more variables.

The battle continued, Shen Shuibi found herself completely surrounded and attacked. As everyone had predicted, if no one came to her rescue, she would surely die there within a Chen or two.

But she didn't consider any of that at all.

There's no need to consider it.

She was calm; she only knew what she needed to do, and then she just did it.

Dao heart is just like this.

Know what you need to do, and then do it. As for the consequences, those are things to worry about after you've done them; they don't matter.

If one changes their behavior out of concern for the consequences, that's what ordinary people do. They love to change their minds all the time, go with the flow, and have no principles of their own.

Half an hour passed quickly.

The power-up is over.

The detector lit up.

A strange fluctuation swept across many world clusters, and then the fluctuation began to bounce back.

At this very moment, outside the world cluster, within a Technique Method.

There were about ten fifth-rank Shaman Path there, plus several worlds being dragged behind them.

But... they got lost.

That's right, I got lost. Although it sounds unbelievable, getting lost in foreign lands is actually quite normal.

The area outside the territory is so vast, with no landmarks, and it's completely dark. You can't tell which way you are, and you can't even tell where you are going.

For many cultivators who are attempting extraterrestrial flight for the first time, they don't even have a way of knowing whether they are moving forward.

Yes, you have no idea if you are moving or not, because no matter how you move, there is no reference point for you. You cannot confirm your state because there is no gravity, and you cannot find up or down.

In the outer realms, unless there is an extraterrestrial spectacle like a 'Great Fire' as a guide, travelers cannot be sure that they are moving, let alone that they are moving in any direction. All around is completely uniform, with absolute darkness and coldness in all directions.

Even if you fly for ten years, the scenery around you will not change at all. Moreover, if you deviate from the flight path by even the slightest bit, such as a millimeter or two, after a long journey, you will end up being thousands of miles apart.

Flying beyond the region is like throwing a grain of sand blindfolded, trying to get it accurately from the South Pole to the North Pole, precisely through the eye of a needle.

This is not an exaggeration; in fact, it could be said to be an underestimation of the difficulty, because given the vastness of the outer realms, the world is far, far smaller than the eye of a pin, and that grain of sand is practically invisible.

Even the slightest mistake can lead to getting lost, or even losing one's way altogether.

To solve this problem, a 'star map' is needed. Using certain extraterrestrial wonders as a guide, the relative positions of some large world clusters are marked. Then, by calculating the relative motion between worlds, with relative coordinates accurate to more than ten decimal places, it is possible to maintain the correct course in the extraterrestrial world.

However, never doubt the wisdom of civilization; countless civilizations have solved the problem of getting lost while navigating overseas in their own ways.

For Shaman Path, there are ten thousand ways to confirm their relative position outside the realm and accurately locate their target, so that they will not get lost even if the flying boat is sailing automatically.

But... what if a being with great Divine Ability used their might to disrupt gravity, seal off the seasons, shatter the relative positions of all flight paths, and speed up the movement of the world cluster by even the slightest bit...

Therefore, the outer void itself will become the most terrifying prison.

Here, you are free; you can go anywhere.

However, no matter where you go, it's the same as standing still. You can't find anything. There is no world, no light, only eternal loneliness, darkness, and bone-chilling cold in the outer realm.

This is why the Shaman Path reinforcements didn't arrive. Even with a dozen or so genuine fifth-rank Shaman Path, they couldn't figure out their relative positions in a short time.

But they can't just wander around like headless flies; if they did, who knows where they'd end up.

So, all we can do is wait.

Waiting for the moment when the impasse is broken.

For example--

A powerful shockwave swept across.

The probe swept across many world groups, and in turn, many world groups observed the probe itself.

Observation through a medium is inherently reciprocal; you see light because it enters your eyes.

When you see the light, the light has already touched you.

As the probe's vibrations swept across these world clusters, these world clusters also came into view of the probe.

This probe has become a new 'extraterrestrial wonder'.

Inside the airship carrying the Shaman Path's reinforcements in the outer void, the operator shouted, "We've found the place! We don't know if it's a war zone, but there are clear signs of activity. Going there will at least confirm our relative position."

"We're very lucky. The distance is very short. If we were to travel at full speed and destroy the airship, we could arrive in at most a Chen."

Arriving in a Chen is certainly not considered close.

Because the flying boats of the Shaman Path are extremely fast; they are special flying boats used by the Shaman Path Cult during wartime.

This kind of flying boat, forcibly flying at the cost of being directly scrapped, can increase the speed Heavenly Way Limit to tens of millions of times, and one Chen is enough to fly over a world group.

But... I was really lucky.

After all, it can still fly there.

Many times, you can't fly that far, even if you fly a million times faster.

"This speed puts a lot of pressure on us. Everyone, get ready to abandon the airship," said a leading Shaman, who appeared to be a Shaman.

As for the others, they are all Shaman outside the three main branches of the Divination Sect, such as the Xingren and Wu Yu.

Since the Shaman had given the order, everyone obeyed and abandoned the flying boat.

This flying boat is a fifth-grade Law Treasure, and a very high-grade one at that. It can be overloaded to the point of being scrapped, which shows how incredibly powerful it is.

In the void, the speed of light was distorted, its upper limit was increased, and then the flying boat sped through the outer void at a terrifying speed that seemed to melt itself!

At the same time...

At the rear base camp of the Shamanic Way War Zone, Li Qi, while coughing up blood, propped himself up.

We can't afford to fall now.

Although she won, Shen Shuibi is still in danger.

Even though his brain was almost on fire and his soul was cracked and damaged, Li Qi got up the moment he woke up from his coma.

Swallow the elixir, take a deep breath, and draw upon the power of the Blood Sacrifice.

Then--

It incorporates the True Knowledge Dao Charm.

This is the answer to 'I am who I am,' and this is the influence of the Dao Path on Divine Ability.

The answer to 'what I am' that Li Qi comprehended is the unique point of intersection on the line of cause and effect. This is 'I', the only one in cause and effect, which is not changed by memory, physical body, or anything else.

This answer leads to the web of cause and effect between people and between people and things.

The connections between things are intertwined from the moment they move. Planting a tree today will provide shade tomorrow. Such entanglements constitute cause and effect. Every cause has an effect, and the effect becomes a new cause. Cause and effect flow endlessly, and everything is inevitably connected to other things in this great web of cause and effect.

Therefore, if one wishes to become Heaven's Will, one can start from this aspect and trace the web of cause and effect.

Li Qi once again relied on his powerful computing capabilities to delve deeper into the area.

He wants to use 'Heaven's Will' to save Shen Shuibi!

Even though he himself felt that he was no longer capable.
