Chapter 416: The Main Storyline, The Start Of Everything

It was not a game, a comic, or a movie. Wei Huo and the others were in a world imagined by the brain.

This sounded unbelievable. One could not help but wonder if such a world could exist in one’s brain. Then, the people of this world would plot to destroy one’s brain and rush out or replace it.

Some people in this world had mental illnesses or even had a second personality. Was this the reason?

There were also Epic, Legendary, and even Mythical creatures. They had obtained power from the depths of their hearts. Where had this power come from?

“What do you think?” Xiao Cheng asked Wei Huo. “Which faction do you plan to choose? I can send my clone to take you to the Transcendent Faction’s or the Continuance Faction’s territory. When you set the coordinates there, you can return to your original world and faction territory.”

Wei Huo replied, “Not interested.”

“Huh?” Xiao Cheng was confused. “Not interested in what?”

Wei Huo said, “I’m not interested in either faction. At the end of the day, this is just your theory. Besides, both methods are unrealistic. I will walk my own path.”

Xiao Cheng was confused. He asked, “Walk your own path? Aren’t you worried that you will die as the story ends?”

Wei Huo did not care about that. A person who had comprehended the Rule of Death would not be afraid of death. He had already understood life and death and was open-minded about it.

Wei Huo said, “You guys say that this is the main storyline of the story. I’m curious. Are our conversations and the appearance of this river part of the story? Why isn’t this happening in the river?”

Xiao Cheng smiled. “So that’s what you’re confused about. This is the Void Realm. We’ve already left the world. We’ve already transcended. We’ve already left the story. Haven’t you realized that as long as someone leaves their original world, there will be no more scenes of them in the river? That’s enough to show that we’ve already left the story.”

Wei Huo shook his head. “That’s wrong. If this world is really a story, this river is definitely not a storyline. Or rather, it’s a fake storyline.”

Xiao Cheng suddenly shrugged. “What you think is up to you. At the end of the day, we’re just gambling. We’ll bet everything and gamble it all. Before everything ends, the Transcendent Faction and the Continuance Faction will take action. They will gamble everything and complete their mission. I will also join one of them. If you don’t agree with us, you can study some Mythical creatures and travel to various Small Worlds. Then, you will die along with the end of the story.”

Wei Huo thought about it and looked upstream. He asked, “Have you been to the source of the river? What’s there?”

Xiao Cheng said, “It’s impossible to go there. The source of this river is infinitely far away. No one can reach it.”

Wei Huo said, “Let me try.”

Xiao Cheng reminded him, “The end is coming. You can’t reach the source!”

Wei Huo had already set off. He did not care about the end of everything. He wanted to go to the source and see what the river really was.

Wei Huo set off and soon left Xiao Cheng behind. He followed the river upstream and flew toward the source.

Xiao Cheng shook his head. “This kid really doesn’t understand. You can’t find a place without coordinates in the Void Realm. You can’t reach a place that no one has ever reached. If no one leads you there, you will never reach it!”

However, he had underestimated Wei Huo’s determination. Wei Huo checked the countless scenes in the river as he swam against the current. Soon, he saw scenes of him leaving the Underworld.

The location of these scenes was not far from the end of the river. No wonder Xiao Cheng had said that the end of everything was coming.

Wei Huo did not care about that anymore. He kept moving forward and flying along the river. As he flew, he checked the various scenes of the river. The river stored the lives of all the martial arts lifeforms in the world. Everything that happened in their lives were sealed in the river.

Wei Huo saw Chen Xuanyue. Along the river, he saw Chen Xuanyue’s life. However, he first saw Chen Xuanyue becoming a God. Then, he saw Chen Xuanyue planning to cultivate until she was not at the Mythical stage.

Chen Xuanyue had been destined to become a Mythical creature. That was why she had sat under the tree and met Wei Huo.

Wei Huo was the same. It seemed like he had been destined to become a Mythical creature. That was why Earth had been destroyed, and that was why he had encountered the Snake God.

Karma had been reversed. Fate seemed to have been decided. If one looked at the whole story in reverse, things appeared inevitable.

Then, Wei Huo saw Lu Qiqi disappear. Lu Qiqi had disappeared countless times in her life and she disappeared at least three times in the River of Time. To be honest, Wei Huo thought that she had mastered the Rule of Disappearance.

The last time Lu Qiqi had disappeared had been on the Soaring Cloud. The River of Time did not record her whereabouts either. This meant that she had left the world. In Xiao Cheng’s words, she had transcended.

Lu Qiqi’s story might still be there, but it did not seem to be part of the main storyline.

Could there be other storylines?

Wei Huo was confused. No one had made a rule that there was only one main storyline and memory chain. Perhaps some people had only entered another main storyline from a storyline.

Wei Huo thought about it for a long time and followed the flow. To be honest, it felt good to look down on the world through the long River of Time. Wei Huo could see everything that had happened in the world as he flew over.

He immediately answered many questions until he saw Earth, which had been halted.

Wei Huo did not see the God who had halted all humans on Earth. It seemed like this God was either at the Mythical stage of the Void Realm or was the setting of the story itself.

There were many such things in this river. For example, he saw some people who picked up money outside, some people who suddenly had a car accident, and some people who had been abducted by aliens. Rather than saying that this was fate, it would be more accurate to say that they were inevitable events. This was because everything had been recorded in this river. Just like the end of the story, everything would happen. It could not be changed!

However, Wei Huo did not understand why he had been neglected. Why had he not been stopped? He was just an ordinary human.

Wei Huo continued moving along the stream, hoping to find clues. He started searching for his parents, his grandparents, the generation before them, and all the generations after that. He wanted to find the beginning of everything, the source of time, and the beginning of the story.
