The Truth of the World

After the Withered Grass was taken away by the Chu Emperor, Xu Bai did not move. He was not in any danger, but he sensed that the Chu Emperor must have something to do, so he remained silent.

The Chu Emperor's eyes remained vacant, as if he were a piece of wood, devoid of any emotion. He stared at the Withered Grass in his hand, scrutinizing it closely, his gaze empty and lifeless.

After about several dozen seconds, the Chu Emperor raised his left hand and gently fanned the Withered Grass.

Soon, two things floated out of the Withered Grass.

When Xu Bai saw the two items, his eyes widened suddenly, but he remained motionless, even harboring a secret anticipation within him.

These are two books, one from the Human-Strange Entity Market and the other from the Demon-Strange Entity Market. I obtained them by chance when I entered those two special spaces using my cheat-like abilities.

The text was all written in characters he couldn't understand, but he guessed that they came from different worlds.

Now that the Chu Emperor has brought out these two books, Xu Bai felt that there must be something going on. He observed the situation and did not immediately use the method of soul annihilation to attack himself.

As expected, Xu Bai's feeling was right. The Chu Emperor raised his hand again, and the Withered Grass was returned to him.

Xu Bai took the Withered Grass from his hand, stuffed it into his pocket, and then looked at the Chu Emperor.

The Chu Emperor has lost his spirit and is now acting entirely on instinct.

The so-called instinct is actually quite complex. Now that these two books have caught the attention of the Chu Emperor, it must be because he has experienced something related to these two books, which has triggered the Chu Emperor's instinct.

The Chu Emperor gently waved his hand, and the two thick books that had been floating in the air landed in his left and right hands respectively.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful aura emanated from the Chu Emperor.

"Is this what it means to Exiting Sainthood?"

Even with Xu Bai's current strength, he still felt extremely strained even though this aura wasn't directed at him, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He could sense that the difference was very obvious, so obvious that he could see it keenly.

Fortunately, this momentum was directed at those two books.

Under the immense pressure of the Chu Emperor's aura, the two books suddenly began to move.

The book, which was originally neatly bound, was instantly turned into scattered pages.

The pages floated in the air, appearing very disorganized.

The Chu Emperor, surrounded by pages of books, suddenly reached out and gently waved his hand at the countless pages scattered across the sky.

With a wave of his hand, the pages of books spun continuously, transforming from disorder to order.

The text on the pages was slowly changing; in the blink of an eye, the text in both books had transformed into a language that Xu Bai could understand.

Then, as the text completely changed, the pages gradually closed again and returned to their original state, becoming two thick books.

However, Xu Bai knew that the text in these two books had been completely changed.

Two thick books fell from the sky, and the Chu Emperor reached out and caught them.

The scene became quiet, so quiet it was unsettling.

The Chu Emperor stared blankly at Xu Bai with his empty eyes, devoid of any emotion, and simply handed over the book.

Xu Bai looked at the book floating in mid-air, hesitated for a long time, and then walked towards the Chu Emperor.

As he walked, he kept his attention focused on the Chu Emperor, while simultaneously preparing to attack his own soul at any moment.

These two books are important, not because of the progress bar, but because they contain some major secrets.

He would never give up once he got his hands on it, and it would be of great benefit to him if he could learn a lot from the book.

Judging from the current state of the Chu Emperor, it's obvious that he wants to give the book to him.

Xu Bai felt that the risk was worth taking because the Chu Emperor's instincts did not cause him any hostility.

As a human being, the Chu Emperor's instinct in this place was to kill the strange creatures. He was also a human being, so perhaps there was not much danger.

Of course, this was just Xu Bai's guess, so Xu Bai was always prepared to attack his own soul in case of unforeseen circumstances, so that he could respond accordingly.

As he drew closer to the Chu Emperor, Xu Bai looked at the two books that were almost within reach and slowly reached out his hand.

When those hands touched the book, the Chu Emperor's expression remained unchanged, which made Xu Bai breathe a slight sigh of relief.

After taking the two books into his hands, Xu Bai took out some Withered Grass and put the two books inside.

After doing all this, he looked up at the Chu Emperor, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"You must have come across some secret while you were here, right?"

The fact that these two books could be restored, and even restored to the script of the Great Chu Kingdom, proves that the Chu Emperor had come into contact with something.

But relying on his instincts, he couldn't answer Xu Bai's question, and everything he did was based on instinct.

Xu Bai asked this question subconsciously, so of course he didn't get an answer.

The Chu Emperor tilted his head, staring blankly at Xu Bai as if he were looking at an ordinary object, without making a sound.

After watching for a while, the Chu Emperor shifted his gaze from Xu Bai Xu Bai what was behind him, and then slowly raised his foot.

His aura was gradually growing stronger, and the direction he was heading was the direction of the battlefield.

Xu Bai then remembered that there were still seventeen Saintly Beings remaining on the battlefield.

"Are you going to kill them?"

The Chu Emperor did not answer him; in the blink of an eye, he vanished from the spot and was never seen again.

Xu Bai looked at the spot where the Chu Emperor had disappeared, took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then headed towards the direction with the pattern in the city.

He didn't look at the two books because the current environment was unstable, and he needed to return to the Great Chu Kingdom before he could read them.

Traveling quickly in this direction, a circular pattern soon appeared ahead.

Xu Bai descended from the sky, took out the token from his waist, and his True Yuan Power surged towards the token.

Just as he was about to activate the token, he suddenly felt a powerful pressure coming from afar. This pressure did not pose a danger to him, because it was coming from the direction of the battlefield.

"It seems that the battle has already begun," Xu Bai thought to himself.

This level of combat is beyond his ability to get involved in.

Without giving it much thought, he continued to activate the token in his hand.

Soon, the circular pattern reacted, and Xu Bai vanished from the spot in a flash.

The outside world, the island.

After a moment of spatial distortion, Xu Bai emerged from inside and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the familiar surroundings.

The phantom of the Giant Eye was gone, and the distorted space had also disappeared.

"This guy really wanted to kill me. I have to be extra careful in the future."

Xu Bai pondered for a moment, then, without lingering, sped off towards the Great Chu Kingdom's imperial palace...

Because the departure was very secretive, using a special method of teleportation, Xu Bai did not attract the attention of those two Barbarian Tribe bastards when he returned. He successfully completed his long journey and returned to the Barbarian Territory.

First, he went to check on Chu Ling and found that Chu Ling's belly was getting bigger and bigger, but there was no sign of her giving birth yet.

After offering a few words of comfort, he couldn't wait any longer and headed towards the Royal Palace Treasury.

He seemed to be in a hurry the whole way, so much so that when many people from the palace bowed to him, he simply waved them off impatiently.

They hurried and rushed to the Royal Palace Treasury.

Xu Bai took two steps at a time and went inside. To Liu Qingfeng's surprise, he took out two thick books from the Withered Grass.

Liu Qingfeng asked in surprise, "I've never seen you so anxious before. Has something serious happened?"

Ever since he met Xu Bai, Xu Bai has always given him the impression of being very calm.

This was the first time he had seen Xu Bai in such a hurry, so he was very curious.

Especially when I saw Xu Bai take out two thick books, I really wanted to take a look.

But before he could take two steps, Xu Bai interrupted him.

"You probably can't handle the things involved here, so don't look yet. Let me see it first." Xu Bai raised his hand, stopping Liu Qingfeng from going any further.

He spoke very frankly, but it all came from the bottom of his heart.

If Liu Qingfeng gets involved in these matters, something might happen.

After all, his greatest enemy now is that unfathomable Giant Eye.

The feeling that eye gave him was too mysterious, more mysterious than any enemy. Even the two Barbarian Tribe saints couldn't compare to the Giant Eye.

He himself could escape by using his cheat ability when he encountered that Giant Eye, but if Liu Qingfeng got involved in this matter and entered this inexplicable struggle, he would have no way to escape.

Liu Qingfeng was initially very curious, but after hearing Xu Bai say this, he suddenly stopped and went back to his original seat.

His curiosity was suppressed, and he didn't say anything more. He knew that Xu Bai wouldn't make empty boasts, because Xu Bai wasn't that kind of person.

Now that all this has been said, it's clear that he absolutely cannot be involved, so he doesn't want to get involved at all.

After Liu Qingfeng left, Xu Bai took out a book, opened it, and looked at the words on it.

From the moment he first saw these words, Xu Bai was filled with shock that never ceased.

He flipped through the pages one after another, reading very quickly, and with each subsequent page, the shock in his eyes grew.

It took Xu Bai nearly half an incense stick's time to read through the two thick books at his current speed.

After reading them, Xu Bai placed the two books on the table, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the turbulent emotions in his heart.

It's huge!

This is a big deal!

Xu Bai's expression was complex.

He finally learned the origin of his cheat ability and what that Giant Eye was.

This book records the whole story in great detail.

To be precise, it records the beginning and end of every world.

First of all, this book does not only describe the world of the Great Chu Kingdom.

To be precise, there are countless worlds.

Before the accident, each world thought it was their own world, but after the accident, they realized that there were countless worlds.

Each world is separated from the others, and they may never know this unless a disaster occurs.

Moreover, the disaster was simple: they were destroyed by the giant eye.

The enormous eye is not a living being, but to be precise, it is a living being.

One way to look at it is that countless worlds combined together form one person.

This person receives a response to the rise and fall of every world.

The enormous eyes are the embodiment of this person.

The human figure is just a metaphor. In Xu Bai's view, the giant eyes are more like the Heavenly Dao in his previous life's novels, but this Heavenly Dao is not a good one.

In the novels of my past life, those so-called Heavenly Ways were all indifferent to worldly affairs and had no selfish desires.

And this Giant Eye harbors great selfish desires.

The countless destroyed worlds called this enormous eye the Supreme Saint.

The existence of the Supreme Saint is to maintain balance in all things.

Every world goes through various events, from birth to prosperity, from prosperity to decline, and from decline to extinction.

But when special people appear in these worlds, these changes become problematic.

These special people, if they were in Xu Bai's world, would be called professionals in their field.

Of course, in other worlds, it has a different name.

Their existence disrupted this pattern, making each world stronger and stronger.

As mentioned earlier, countless worlds will form the Supreme Saint, and the best way to preserve the Supreme Saint is to let these worlds rise and fall and constantly change.

The people of those worlds discovered that every so often they would fall into a state of resource depletion, and this state would repeat itself endlessly.

After a series of developments, they wanted to break this state, and thus the Supreme Saint descended.

In the words of the world Xu Bai lived in, once you reach the Exiting Sainthood realm, you will break this state.

Every world is governed by rules that are extremely difficult to break.

For example, in the world Xu Bai lives in, only by unifying the world can there be a Exiting Sainthood, such as the Chu Emperor.

However, throughout history, there has never been a unified world, and resources have been depleted, making it extremely difficult for Exiting Sainthood. Yet, in these countless worlds, there have always been Exiting Sainthood.

As for the Supreme Saint, once someone Exiting Sainthood, that rule will be broken.

The rules that are broken will make those worlds stronger. As the saying goes, when a saint reaches his peak, he declines. A powerful world will consume the power of the Supreme Saint. Therefore, the Supreme Saint will take action to destroy these worlds and restore them to their Qidian, so that they can start anew.

Over countless years, countless worlds have been destroyed.

Finally, as more and more of these worlds were destroyed, one world stood up. In order to deal with the Supreme Saint, all of them gathered the power of the entire world and began to collect those dead worlds, and then piled them all up in the Great Chu Kingdom.

Each world transformed into a corpse, and in the world where the Great Chu Kingdom was located, a space was torn open, becoming the Ghost Market.

The dead are brought into the Ghost Market, and their power is used to maintain the vitality of the corpses.

When these energies come together, they ultimately form Xu Bai's golden touch.

They were very secretive, but they were eventually discovered. The Supreme Saint came in the form of Giant Eye, wanting to destroy them, but they had a way to deal with it.

Unable to kill the Supreme Saint, they created Ruins to trap Supreme Saint inside.

The Ruins are always repeated, but the Supreme Saint, which is inside, is the only one that will never be repeated.

They didn't know how long they could be locked up, but it was their only option.

The world Xu Bai lived in in his previous life was one of countless worlds, but it followed a different path.

This path exists in countless worlds, but the world Xu Bai was in in his previous life had not yet reached that level; in fact, it could be said to be just beginning to emerge.

Then... Xu Bai fell victim to it.

He was inexplicably and randomly chosen to become the successor to the cheat ability.

To be precise, he is one of the heirs.

They tried many methods and selected countless successors, but all of them failed.

These heirs were the Saviors of the past.

Later, they investigated the reason and learned that distributing the golden finger among the Saviors would actually weaken their power.

So they deployed them to various parts of the world.

Even multiple deployments.

But in every world, there are some people who are traitors.

These traitors were organized by the Giant Eye to monitor the existence of the Golden Finger.

Initially, these organizations wanted to eliminate Goldfinger, but finding that they could not, they eventually turned to surveillance.

After countless annihilations, the cheat ability became stronger and stronger. The reason is actually quite simple: the strongest world itself consumed its own essence to maintain the cheat ability.

Finally, they came up with a last resort: to find a world that had just reappeared and hadn't been developing for very long. So they found Xu Bai's world.

Then came the scene where Xu Bai time-traveled.

The heaviness in Xu Bai's eyes never disappeared after he finished reading all the contents.

"Becoming a savior out of nowhere, this feeling is really unpleasant. I just want to be a lazy bum," Xu Bai thought to himself, speechless.

He looked at the book placed beside him, raised his hand and took it in his hand. With a surge of True Yuan Power, both books turned to ashes.

These things cannot be seen by others, for seeing them will leave a mark and transform into the power of Giant Eye.

The Exiting Sainthood is a very mysterious state. Once you reach that state, you will see the true nature of the world, like the Chu Emperor.

The only way to break the spell, as recorded in the book, is for Xu Bai to reach the peak of Exiting Sainthood.

But... it's difficult.

The book didn't say it was difficult, but Xu Bai knew it was.

It didn't say how he reached the peak of Exiting Sainthood, it only said that he used the power of the cheat system. The cheat system is a collection of countless worlds, so Xu Bai exhibited a rational yet chaotic madness.

Reason is what these powerful worlds possess, while chaos arises because there are too many worlds.

"There's no way to get stronger, it's just about relying on cheat codes, but right now I can only grind the progress bar, and that progress bar is so slow..." Xu Bai suddenly felt like he was trapped in a vicious cycle.

What he lacks is time...

Moreover, the truth of this world cannot be revealed, as doing so would cause a great deal of trouble, because the enormous eyes can perceive it.

The Ghost Market is the only place that can be shielded. The reason why entering the Ghost Market will cause one to lose their soul is because it contains too many worlds, so once inside, one's soul will be instantly devoured.

As for that most powerful world, it is already dead, according to the book.

Xu Bai is the last hope, formed with the strongest world as the main body and countless other worlds as secondary bodies.

"By the way, I entered two Ghost Market this time, so my speed should be higher. Maybe this is the only breakthrough."

Each time you enter the Ghost Market, you are actually consuming the residual power of countless worlds.

There are advantages, namely, it can accelerate the progress of the cheat system; there are also disadvantages, namely, the more residual power is consumed, the less able the Ruins are to trap the Giant Eye.

This is a vicious cycle, but Xu Bai believes he can now use his cheat ability to accelerate his progress and seize the time to improve his strength.

Xu Bai casually picked up a book from the Withered Grass, stared at the progress bar on it, and was completely stunned.

"I love this speed!"

He wasn't a particularly pessimistic person. Although he was inexplicably burdened with the responsibility of being a savior, he remained optimistic overall.

There's a saying that goes, "Where there's a will, there's a way," and "Things will straighten themselves when they reach the bridge."

Don't burden yourself with those difficulties too much. The more you think about them, the more they will remain. The best solution is to find a solution.

Before his eyes, the progress bar was increasing at a visible speed, much faster than before.

"It seems there's still hope!" Xu Bai breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He looked at Liu Qingfeng beside him and said, "Brother Qingfeng, I will be going into seclusion for the next period of time. If there is anything I cannot resolve, I will need your help."

Liu Qingfeng nodded and agreed.

Although he didn't know what Xu Bai had gained from the book, Xu Bai had already said that he had essentially sold it to Xu Bai, so of course he wouldn't just sit idly by.

After receiving the answer, Xu Bai didn't say anything more and continued working on the progress bar in his hand.

Silence fell over the Royal Palace Treasury...

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, nearly half a month had gone by.

During these two weeks, everything seemed calm and peaceful, and the world proceeded as it should have.

The Great Chu Kingdom, Imperial Palace.

Chief Mu was sitting cross-legged on the bed, his forehead covered in sweat.

A surge of Luck Power emanated from him.

After the Chu Emperor ascended to heaven, he took over the various affairs of the Great Chu Kingdom. Apart from necessary matters, he rarely left his house and was constantly in seclusion.

He inherited the throne of the Great Chu Kingdom, combining the professions of emperor and Qi Fortune Master, and was now on the verge of Exiting Sainthood.

On the surface, he lived a mechanical life every day. No one knew what he was thinking. Only he himself knew how great the responsibility on his shoulders was.

The Chu Emperor ascended to heaven to give them time.

This responsibility naturally falls on Chief Mu.

After so long in seclusion, Chief Mu finally saw hope in his quest to reach the Exiting Sainthood.

Aura constantly surrounded him, and as the aura swirled around him, Chief Mu presence continued to rise.

He is getting closer and closer to the realm of Exiting Sainthood, and he has already touched the edge of Exiting Sainthood with one hand.

"Almost there!"

Chief Mu's forehead was covered in a dense layer of sweat. Just then, his imposing aura suddenly froze, and his eyes snapped open...
