Chapter 173: Fragments of Time, Hope for Saving the World?
Even though Li Ping knew the fate of this world all along, he still felt a deep sense of loss watching Qin Mengyao disappear in his hands...
Qin Mengyao's last words, "This world cannot break the void, because the Way of Heaven is flawed," knocked him unconscious.
He believed that Qin Mengyao would not lie to him, and he also believed that Qin Mengyao could sense the existence of "Dao". Moreover, since most of this world had already disappeared, it was not surprising that "Dao" was incomplete!
Breaking through the void has always been Li Ping's greatest wish, because only in this way could he live on with his loved ones. Now, someone is telling him that he cannot break through the void...
So, what should we do?
He was completely stunned!
Li Ping's friends, watching everyone and even the whole world disappear before their eyes, were struck dumb, their minds in complete chaos.
An eerie silence fell over the scene, broken only by the heavy breathing of the crowd.
After an unknown amount of time, Duan Yu's eyes were filled with despair, and his voice trembled: "What... what happened? Why did everyone disappear?"
Chu Liuxiang's voice rang out, no longer displaying his usual carefree and elegant tone: "Because those are fragments of time..."
"What?"
Everyone turned to look at Chu Liuxiang, even Li Ping.
Chu Liuxiang rubbed his nose, his face filled with solemnity and sorrow: "Fragments of time, fragments of the river of time, are like phantoms of the past."
"I finally understand what that river we saw before we came into this world was."
"That's the river of time!"
"Each tributary of the River of Time represents a moment in time in a different world, but this River of Time was shattered before..."
"We were saved by immortals and came to this world, and we survived, but the timeline of our original world was completely shattered."
"Some fragments of time have also fallen into this world..."
That statement was incredibly impactful!
Lu Xiaofeng was trembling all over, and his voice suddenly became extremely dry: "They're all shattered, which means our original world was just like what happened before..."
"That's it!?"
"Besides those who came here, everyone else is gone, just like them before?!"
Chu Liuxiang closed his eyes, thinking of his friends and his confidante: "I think so!"
Each word was spoken slowly and deliberately, and with each word, my heart ached as if it were being stabbed!
Qiao Feng felt he couldn't breathe; the immense pressure almost suffocated him. He stared intently into Chu Liuxiang's eyes: "You, how did you know?"
Finally, Chu Liuxiang opened his eyes. He buried the previous sorrow and pain in his heart, and his eyes were calm: "Because my ability is to find treasure... and appraise treasure."
He pointed to the large crystal of time in front of him: "The moment I saw it, I knew where it came from."
"My deduction about the River of Time is based on its origins, and it is absolutely correct."
Qiao Feng felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Duan Yu trembled all over. So many worlds, so many people, had disappeared without a trace. He was overwhelmed by unspeakable sorrow and fear, and suddenly he couldn't help but cry.
Everyone is the same, except that others are stronger than Duan Yu.
After a long silence, Duan Yu stopped crying: "What will become of this world? What should we do?"
Li Xunhuan coughed twice, wiping away the blood, and his eyes regained their calm: "Since the immortals sent us to this world, they must not only regard this world as a sanctuary."
"Otherwise, there would be no need for the immortals to bestow blessings upon us."
"Otherwise, not all the immortals sent to this world would be martial arts practitioners."
"Therefore, martial arts and blessings must hold the key to saving us and the world, and even the key to saving the river of time!"
Li Xunhuan's voice was firm and powerful, and his words were clear, logical, and well-founded, which finally calmed everyone down considerably.
Lu Xiaofeng clenched his fists: "Could it be shattering the void? Master Zhang said back then that if we shattered the void, we could go to the Immortal Realm..."
"Is that the way to save ourselves?"
"But... how many people can actually shatter the void? What about the others? What about ordinary people who don't know any martial arts?"
"Moreover, Fairy Mengyao just said that the Great Dao of this world is flawed and cannot break through the void."
"Why is the Great Way flawed...?"
Finally, Li Ping looked up at everyone and stopped hiding it: "Because the far west, far south, and far north of this world have all disappeared and become nothingness. I think the far east is the same, but we don't know it yet."
"That void is still approaching the Central Plains."
Everyone was terrified again; their vision went black and they saw stars.
After a long while, Li Xunhuan coughed violently again. He covered his mouth and looked at Li Ping: "So, you already knew about the River of Time and our world?"
"So Master Zhang knew too? He deceived everyone at Wudang back then!?"
Li Ping nodded helplessly: "He had no choice. If the world were told the truth, what chaos would it become?"
Everyone fell silent.
They understood this era better than Li Ping; sometimes, even a false war report could throw the entire city into chaos.
Everyone fell silent.

Moreover, the world might be destroyed.
Li Xunhuan's face was contorted with pain: "So even though the Tatars' national strength is far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty, why are they so desperately trying to start a war?"
"Because the far north has become nothingness and is still expanding, they have no way to survive?"
Li Ping suddenly became radiant: "The Tatars are nothing to worry about. I heard that the imperial court has already gone to the Western Regions. Those people who survived in the far west only boarded the Tatar ships because the Tatars promised them a way to live!"
"Now the court says that as long as they help fight the Tatars, they will be given a way out. At that time, the people of the far west and the Western Regions will flank the Tatars from behind and attack them from both sides. The Tatars will not be able to win."
"There's no need for you all to worry too much about this world. Someone investigated it before, and the expansion of the Void is slowing down, or it might stop at the border of the Central Plains!"
"And you were right before."
"Since the immortals sent us to this world and gave us supernatural powers, they must want us to achieve something."
"Among martial arts and supernatural powers, there must be a way to save the world."
"Zhang Zhenren and I previously thought of shattering the void. Although shattering the void may not be possible now, there must be other ways."
"It will definitely happen!"
"Otherwise, the immortals wouldn't have needed to do this!"
Li Ping's words were full of confidence, which finally boosted everyone's morale!
At this moment, Hua Manlou's voice rang out softly: "Is there any way to save those fragments of time?"
"Since there are fragments of time from other worlds, perhaps there are also fragments of time from our world?"
"If we could save the fragments of time, wouldn't the people of our world survive?"
Everyone was shocked. That's true!
Chu Liuxiang shook his head: "I don't know!"
"But fragments of time are merely phantoms of the past, I think..."
"However, supernatural powers are anything and everything, and it's not necessarily true that someone with supernatural abilities could do it!"
Yang Guo looked at the fragment of time ahead: "So, Master Lang, Mengyao and the others are actually still in this fragment of time? If there's a fragment of time from our world, are the others also in it?"
If my aunt hadn't come into this world, and she's still trapped in fragments of time, is there any way I can save her?
Chu Liuxiang shook his head and said, "I don't know how to describe it. After all, the knowledge of a treasure appraiser is limited, and this kind of thing is difficult to describe in words!"
"The current state of these fragments of time is like a river that has dried up..."
"There's no need for everyone to feel sorry for Master Lang and the others. What we encountered before was merely their past, and they themselves may have already transformed into shooting stars, on their way to this world..."
Duan Yu could not hide his sorrow: "But this Fairy Mengyao will never know that she told us about the Cihang Sword Manual."
"She'll never know how much fun she had grilling meat with us and playing in the water on the way to the Dual Cultivation Palace."
"She won't remember us at all."
Li Ping said, "That's not impossible..."
Everyone looked at him again!
