C2594 Calamity Hourglass
In a white space.
It was completely empty, completely empty.
A man with a long beard and white hair walked a few meters behind him, silently looking at a huge hourglass.
This hourglass was one hundred and twenty feet high. It was weathered and full of rust. The sand within was tiny and golden.
I don't know how many megabytes of sand there are.
After a long while, a grain of sand fell from the top to the bottom.
The sand heap below was already very high.
There was not much sand left on it.
The old man sat cross-legged on the ground. Although he looked old, he sat very straight. His entire body was like an anchor that had been silent for millions of years, nailed to the ground.
Moments later, a girl in a white robe appeared in the white space without a sound. She was extremely clean and had long, shiny black hair. She walked slowly towards the old man.
The girl stood beside the old man, looking at the huge hourglass and asked, "Is it almost time?"
"One grain of sand fell from the hourglass in the past two hours." The old man said in a hoarse voice, "In the recent days, I have been dropping one every hour or so. Occasionally, it would take me three to eight hours to get rid of one."
The girl frowned. "What does this mean?"
"This means that in the vast wastelands of the universe, there are some variables." The old man replied gently, "However, regardless of how fast or how slow the sand drops are, it will always fall. That moment will eventually come."
"The apocalypse for all living beings, huh." The girl said softly, "The Heavenly Dao prepared for millions of years for this catastrophe. Can it really destroy all living things and change the sky and the earth?"
"Not just destroying all living things." The old man shook his head: "I still need to destroy the Heavenly Dao's biggest enemy, Creation God, Chaos Emperor."
"What exactly is this calamity?"
"I don't know." Even though I have accepted the will of the Heavenly Dao and it has been hundreds of thousands of years, the Heavenly Dao is vast and not something that I can completely comprehend, a calamity will eventually come, and no one knows what a calamity is. Only, I can vaguely see thirteen figures, and these thirteen figures seem to have come from all the realms in the universe. "
The old man said in a single breath, as if he was a bit tired. Then, he closed his yellow eyes.
The girl took a deep breath. "An unprecedented calamity?"
"The Heavenly Dao tribulation cannot destroy all living things." The old man closed his eyes and said, "There's only one way to destroy all living things, and that is from the very beginning."
"Source?" The girl was immediately filled with curiosity.
"Creation God created the most ancient creature." After saying this, the old man no longer spoke.
When the girl heard the man's words, she fell into deep thought for a moment.
Just at this moment, a middle-aged man in white clothes walked out.
As he walked, he whispered, "In the ancient universe, there are no living beings, so what?"
The question woke the girl up: "Creation God created the elemental energy."
The Heavenly Dao could be said to have created all kinds of things. Even if the true meaning created by Chaos Emperor was opposite to that of the Heavenly Dao, the true meaning was still imitated the creation of the True Meaning of the Great Tao. Everything originated from the Heavenly Dao, the only exception being Creation God. As the middle-aged man spoke, he took large strides forwards, "Essence is the foundation of all living beings. Without Essence, all living beings will be destroyed."
"Could it be that this time, what is about to descend is going to be a complete Five Falling Heavens?" the girl asked.
"Do you know of a Dimension called Celestial Domain?" The middle-aged man also came to the side of the old man and said to the girl, "Dukes, you've long since grasped a method to fight against the Five Deaths of Heaven."
The girl frowned.
A conflicted expression appeared on his face.
The middle-aged man said: "There's no need to think about it, the will of the Heavenly Dao is not something we can speculate about." After he finished speaking, he whispered in the old man's ear, "They are here."
The moment he said that, the originally unconscious old man immediately woke up from his stupor: "Meng Fan?"
"Yes, we have brought him back." Yes, we have brought him back.
"Good, good …" With the support of the old man, he stood up and walked off into the distance while trembling.
The girl was still standing at the same spot with her brows locked tightly together. She was lost in thought and was unable to extricate herself.
At this moment.
Tick.
The girl looked up and saw a grain of sand falling from the top of the hourglass.
The girl had seen this scene countless times over the course of tens of thousands of years, so she was not surprised by it.
However, just as the grain of sand fell, another grain of sand fell.
The girl's eyes widened.
This hourglass that Grandpa Zhang had obtained hundreds of thousands of years ago was descended from the Heavenly Dao. This hourglass was a countdown, signaling the arrival of a calamity which would destroy the entire primal chaos of the universe.
In the ancient past, every two hours, a grain of sand would fall from this hourglass.
In recent years, just as Grandpa Zhang had said, the sand in the hourglass fell more and more irregularly. Sometimes, one would fall in an hour, sometimes in the next, sometimes in the next three to four hours.
Every time a grain of sand fell down, it would mean that something happened in the primal chaos of the universe that affected the final calamity.
However, just as Grandpa Zhang had said, regardless of whether the calamity had come earlier or later, the grains of sand in the hourglass would always fall.
At that moment, the arrival of the unstoppable.
In the span of a few breaths, two grains of sand fell from the sky. This had never happened before.
Without waiting for the girl to react.
Another grain of sand.
Another one.
One after another.
His speed became faster and faster.
The girl widened her eyes. The sand on top of the hourglass was decreasing at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. She could even hear the rustling of sand in her ears. This was a scene she had never heard before and had never seen before.
The girl immediately ran out in panic.
She ran out of the white space and stepped onto a long boardwalk. Outside of the boardwalk was a flowing waterfall that flowed straight down into an unfathomable abyss. On the waterfall, were jagged pieces of strange stones.
The girl walked quickly, stepping on the plank path. From bottom to top, it took her less than an hour to reach the peak.
A cliff in the sea of clouds.
On the cliff stood seven people in white. There were men and women, old and young, with the old "Grandpa Zhang" as the core.0
The girl quickly walked over and shouted in panic, "Grandpa Zhang!"
But as soon as she spoke, she was stopped by someone beside her, who signaled for her to be quiet.
The girl stuck her head out in both anxiety and curiosity.
He saw the old Grandpa Zhang being supported by the others as he squatted beside a young man who was half asleep and wearing a green robe.
The first time the girl saw a young man, her eyes widened even more. Was there really such a man in this world?
Her skin was crystal clear, and her appearance was flawless. It was as if she was a Heavenly Dao, a perfect creation.
Thus, the girl found out the identity of this person.
In the past few months, everyone had been discussing the creator, Minor Heavenly Tao, and Meng Fan.
