Buzz——
At this moment, Wu Xiaoyao's brain was filled with a buzzing tinnitus, his eyes losing focus.
He wasn't dumb, quite the contrary, he was rather intelligent.
So, just from this one sentence, Wu Xiaoyao deduced that Yin Qiming must have done something to alter the original course of the world, for example—
Making Wu Liang, who was supposed to live, die!
This accident that caused him immense pain wasn't an accident, but a meticulously planned murder!
Only then would he not hand over the Stone Slab to the state, would he take a gamble on the [Seven Days of Soul Revival] inscribed on the slab, and open the portal to the Immortal Realm!
All of this required that Wu Liang must die in a supernatural manner!
The true culprit is the man before him!
"Ah... ah! Yin Qiming! What have you taken my son for!"
Listening to Wu Xiaoyao's suffocating cries of agony behind him, a hint of reluctance flashed in Yin Qiming's eyes.
If possible, he certainly didn't want to kill Wu Liang.
But if he wanted to save his collapsing world, even ensuring the future of this world wouldn't be destroyed by a supernatural massacre.
Some sacrifices he deemed necessary.
With this belief, he resolutely stepped into the entrance of the Immortal Realm, preparing to seize Wu Liang's consciousness and obtain the Celestial Book Ghost Compendium.
Boom——
At the moment Yin Qiming entered the Immortal Realm, Wu Xiaoyao trembled all over and climbed up from the ground.
This scene made even Wu Liang, who was hiding in the shadows, pause on the spot.
If nothing unexpected happens, by now Wu Xiaoyao shouldn't even be able to stand, experiencing so many days of frantic advance, not fainting on the spot was a miracle.
The one who stood up at this moment wasn't Wu Xiaoyao's physical body, but his will.
"Want to harm my son? You'll have to step over my dead body first!" Wu Xiaoyao roared and rushed headlong into the entrance of the Immortal Realm.
For a moment, the entire cave fell into a dead silence.
Yao Qingxue fainted on the spot, and Wu Quanye, influenced by Yin Qiming's abilities, also lost consciousness.
Wu Liang appeared and unabashedly walked to the entrance of the Immortal Realm, somewhat hesitating whether he should go in and take a look.
After all, these things had already happened, if he stepped into the Immortal Realm, would it affect the past?
"So annoying, if I don't see it with my own eyes..."
Whosh——
The [Ghost Compendium] in his mind suddenly floated out uncontrollably, rushing into the entrance of the Immortal Realm in an instant.
Not only that, Wu Liang's entire consciousness was dragged out by the [Ghost Compendium] before he could react, pulled into the Immortal Realm.
He saw a scene that was beyond belief.
It was a real book that existed in the world, not just lingering in his mind, a physical book visible to everyone!
It was hovering on top of a mummified corpse's forehead, continuously infusing some sort of power, restoring it bit by bit to a normal flesh body.
Yet, Yin Qiming and Wu Xiaoyao's figures were nowhere to be found.
Just a few minutes later, that mummified corpse... no, to be precise, the body which now looked indistinguishable from when it had just died slowly opened its eyes.
However, these eyes showed no emotional fluctuation, only extreme coldness and a divine gaze looking down upon everything.
[Seven Days of Soul Revival] succeeded.
The mummy was indeed resurrected, but it wasn't the Wu Liang of the past that was revived.
It was merely a shell carrying the power of the [Ghost Compendium], essentially turning from a physical book to a human form.
It merely changed its appearance in this world, with no fundamental alteration.
But the strangest thing was—the so-called Immortal Realm at first glance seemed somewhat like his home?
"This power belongs to me!"
Suddenly, a voice roared, bursting out of a room's door with fury written all over the face of Yin Qiming, though he inexplicably dressed in formal attire.
The slicked-back hair and suited appearance felt a bit out of place.
"Give me back my son, and my true disciple!"
Hot on his heels, Wu Xiaoyao bellowed, pinning him down firmly to the ground, preventing Yin Qiming from advancing to touch the freshly resurrected Wu Liang.
Even more bizarre, Wu Xiaoyao was wearing pajamas, and the fight between him and Yin Qiming bizarrely intermingled chaos and violence with a sense of absurdity.
What was even more incredible was that Wu Xiaoyao showed no signs of fatigue, entirely different from the near-death appearance before entering the Immortal Realm.
Crack—
Amid their struggle, an eerie cracking sound echoed at his ears.
Brought inexplicably by the [Ghost Compendium] in his mind, Wu Liang could clearly see an extremely exaggerated crack forming on his home's wall.
Crack—Crack—
The next second, the entire building became riddled with cracks.
"No... not right! It's not the building that's cracking, it's the space itself that's cracking!" Wu Liang found in terror that the crack didn't exist in the material structure but was a fissure appearing out of thin air.
Having a good buddy like Minister Long who can master spatial ability.
Only then could he discover this anomaly in time.
Bam—
As the space progressively collapsed, the Stone Slab tumbled out from the crack, conveniently landing in front of Wu Liang, where he looked down to see two rows of elegantly inscribed words appear on it.
[Life and death differ, irreversible]
[World chaos, order collapse]
Just a glance, and Wu Liang instantly understood what this so-called [Seven Days of Soul Revival] resurrection actually was!
"Damn! You call this soul revival? This is just swapping someone else in!" Wu Liang couldn't help but curse.
That's right! This place is no Immortal Realm at all!
This is actually another world, or rather, another future, a future where Wu Liang is still alive.
The mummy didn't truly revive in essence, but merged with this world's Wu Liang.
That's all there is!
Suppose only the corpse went through the Immortal Realm, merging with this side's Wu Liang perhaps without causing too severe an impact, since after all, it was already a corpse.
But now Yin Qiming and Wu Xiaoyao came along, too.
They naturally merged with their counterparts here and began to vie for the Wu Liang body possessing the [Ghost Compendium]'s power.
This concept is quite different.
Just as Yin Qiming said before, altering the world's original operation would bring about very severe consequences.
Wu Liang didn't know what the aftermath was when Yin Qiming forcibly killed him, but now having two people and a body simultaneously change the world's course seemed to be leading to issues affecting the entire world.
Crack—
Another massive crack appeared beside him, and Wu Liang couldn't help but glance at the fissure, only to find something even more suffocating.
Through the gap, he saw his unconscious mother lying in the cave!
Oh no!
Wu Liang seemed to realize what was currently happening—
Two worlds, have collided...
