Get serious?
The light and shadows shifted before Jiang Qiao's eyes. The massive tombstone covered in flesh began to twist and rise, transforming into a magnificent palace built from countless piled-up bones.
Inside the palace.
The Shadow Tree had taken root atop a raised platform.
The tentacles had vanished.
All that remained was a great tree formed from countless pitch-black hollows. Beneath the tree, the mysterious Half-God revealed his figure.
He was hidden beneath the canopy.
With the palace at its center.
A sinister wind blew.
A bleak, eerie, rotten aura spread outward with the wind, causing the world suffused with red light to grow dim and gloomy, as if the afterglow of sunset were about to fade and the world were destined to welcome night.
The sky.
The earth.
As far as the eye could see.
Within the entire visible area, patches of livor mortis had somehow begun to grow.
And these patches of livor mortis could exist not only in the void.
They could even appear on the Timeline!
In other words.
Even if Jiang Qiao used "Time Reversal" or "Time Rollback" now, he still had no way to avoid these terrifying patches of livor mortis.
Under their effects.
He could clearly sense that the surrounding time was actually vanishing!
It was a very strange feeling.
Time was originally merely a ruler for measuring the movement of space. To the universe, it actually had no meaning; it was simply a concept created by humans.
Yet now, this conceptual thing was actually showing signs of becoming tangible.
And under the corrosion of the livor mortis.
It was even beginning to dissolve.
Gradually heading toward extinction.
If... the time in this area were erased, what would happen to the people within it?
"Decay?"
"Everything will decay."
"Time is no exception."
