Outside Of Time

772 Return from Ancient Times (1)

As the words of the Deputy Governor echoed, tens of thousands of cultivators beneath the altar were filled with great turbulence. As for the ordinary people of the city, many of them were bewildered because they were unaware of much of the history mentioned.

It was only after Xu Qing became a Sword Holder that he learned about the simplified history of the human race during the Deputy Governor’s lesson.

That was also the first time he learned of the condensed version of Crown Prince Purple Green’s life.

At that moment, Marquis Yao, the Deputy Palace Masters of the three palaces, and the others in the surroundings all had dazed expressions. The gazes they used to look at the Deputy Governor became complicated.

The Deputy Governor’s true identity was surprising but it also seemed reasonable.

Over the years, the other party’s administrative duties as a deputy governor and the various decrees during the war revealed his familiarity with government affairs.

Thinking back to the arrangements made by the Deputy Governor during the war, everything was orderly. If they removed the fatigue he revealed, one could see that he was at ease doing those things.

Not to mention the reconstruction and recovery after the war.

Everything was done appropriately under the Deputy Governor’s decrees.

He had indeed done very well. In fact, in the hearts of many people, they felt that he had done a better job than the old county governor.

Not everyone possessed such an ability. Other than their familiarity with government affairs, they also needed to have a general perspective of the entire Fenghai County.

Hence, Xu Qing believed the Deputy Governor’s words. However, he had other doubts. Why could the other party also reincarnate? What did he offer?

However, no matter what, this couldn’t erase the sins committed by the Deputy Governor.

Regardless of whether it was poisoning the old county governor or causing chaos in Fenghai County by colluding with the Holy Wave Race which indirectly caused the Palace Master’s death. Every stroke was a blood calamity.

The killing intent from the entire city rose again.

“Xu Qing.”

The Deputy Governor didn’t bother with the countless murderous gazes in the surroundings, nor did he look at Marquis Yao and the others. It seemed that right now, in his eyes, there was no one else other than Xu Qing, someone he had previously overlooked and underestimated.

The captain, who was standing beside Xu Qing, took a few steps back. He knew that today, Xu Qing was the main character.

“I’ve told you the answer you want, and I also have a question for you.”

The Deputy Governor stared at Xu Qing and calmly spoke.

“This place is my territory to begin with. Is it unreasonable for me to take back my things?”

Xu Qing shook his head.

“Your territory has already been destroyed with the Purple Green Kingdom.”

After saying that, Xu Qing looked at the hundreds of thousands of people under the platform and the entire city.

“The current Fenghai County is everyone’s home.”

His words echoed through the world. Countless people’s eyes lit up and unanimous agreement rose in their hearts.

The Deputy Governor laughed.

“Then why were you the only one who stood up previously? I remember that you’re not from Fenghai. You’re from the Nanhuang Continent.”

Xu Qing fell silent. The county was silent, and the world was silent.

These words were like a bolt of lightning that landed in Xu Qing’s mind, transforming into waves of ripples that wanted to drown everything. However, there was a blood-stained figure that couldn’t be hidden no matter what.

“There’s an old man I respect very much.”

“He died in battle. But in my heart, he’s still alive.”

Xu Qing spoke softly.

Sadness rose in the hearts of the Sword Holders. They knew who Xu Qing was talking about. The image of the Palace Master who died to protect Fenghai County had long transformed into eternity in their minds.

That scene of merging with the Taboo net and collapsing bit by bit in the cold was the pain that would remain in the hearts of all the cultivators who survived at the western front line.

This was especially so when the Palace Master said that his sword was to protect his home before he died. This was deeply imprinted in the hearts of every Sword Holder.

“It’s that simple?” The Deputy Governor was a little surprised.

“Do I need anything else?” Xu Qing’s tone was calm.

“I thought you would say a lot.” The Deputy Governor smiled.

Xu Qing didn’t speak. He lifted his head and looked at the sky.

The figure of the old man in his mind became clearer and clearer.

Actually, there was something he didn’t say. That old man had used his words and actions and died in battle to let him know what it was to be a Sword Holder.

Hence, Xu Qing took a deep breath and his deep voice echoed through the world.

“Sword Holders, the evidence is conclusive. You can kill anyone below the emperor.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the world rumbled. Bolts of lightning streaked across the sky and wisps of killing intent rose from the county. The eyes of the more than 100,000 Sword Holders in the square who had fought a hundred battles were bloodshot.

They knew this sentence.

Although the cultivators from the Law Palace and Observance Palace didn’t make the Sword Holder’s oath, they all knew the rights and responsibilities of the Sword Holding Palace.

They weren’t the only ones who knew. The mortals in the city also knew.

At this moment, the wind blew.

The strong wind whistled, blowing through the world. The clothes of the tens of millions of people who walked out of their houses in the city fluttered in the wind. The fortune on their bodies also rose and gathered toward Xu Qing.

At this moment, everyone’s hearts were moved!

At this moment, the world trembled!

At this moment, fortune gathered from all directions and condensed above Xu Qing’s head, forming an incomparably clear crown of glory that could be seen by mortals.

With the weight of the crown and the enhancement of fortune, the mosasaur in Xu Qing’s body roared and directly transformed into a nascent soul.

This nascent soul was the embodiment of fortune, and its appearance shook the heavens and the earth, causing the sky to rumble and the vortex to expand even further.

This was Xu Qing’s ninth nascent soul!

There was also the light of morning glow spreading out from Xu Qing’s body, forming a rainbow-colored nascent soul!

The morning glow nascent soul’s brightness seemed to make the world lose its color.

This was the tenth nascent soul!

This wasn’t the end. Under the envelopment of fortune, D132, which was in Xu Qing’s body, also trembled. A tiny figure quickly formed inside. Its figure was similar to the little boy back then but its appearance was of Xu Qing.

Its appearance made D132 complete. The hearts of the stone lion, the painting old man, and the head inside trembled as they knelt down in front of the eleventh nascent soul!
