Outside Of Time

1781  Time and Space in Chaos, Cause and Effect Reversed

'What exactly is a spacetime turbulence?

For the vast majority of cultivators, it is difficult to describe clearly.

To some extent, it seems like just a metaphor.

Literally, it refers to the infinite expansion and contraction of a singularity caused by the chaos of time and space.

Thus, it also contains infinite possibilities.

But to explain it in detail is challenging—limited by one's cognitive boundaries.

It seems only those whose Ordinances relate to spacetime can begin to describe the nature of spacetime turbulence.'

Xu Qing had originally thought the same.

Before entering, he believed spacetime turbulence should resemble his own technique of "Seamless," only more vast and mysterious.

With his Ordinance, he should have had a better chance than others to return from within.

But after entering, everything defied his expectations.

The scenes within left Xu Qing's mind filled with nothing but confusion.

Like now, as he raised his head and observed countless colorful vortices before him.

These vortices varied in size, boundless and endless—some regular, some chaotic, some static, some rotating, with many even intertwining together.

They formed an abstract and complex starry sky.

A single glance would overwhelm the mind with unbearable pressure, as if unable to process such information.

Prolonged exposure would induce a sense of fragmentation.

Yet the abstraction extended beyond just the surroundings—it also encompassed Xu Qing and Erniu's very existence here.

Xu Qing's body was no longer in human form.

Instead, it had transformed into a swarm of luminous insects pieced together from countless triangular fragments. Each insect lived only for a ten-thousandth of a breath—born in a flash of radiant light, only to die in an explosion of chaotic future images before burning into dust, extinguishing all light.

This cycle repeated infinitely.
