Chapter 305: Wu Youqing and the Little Girl's Conversation, a Frightening Truth (4K)



With a straight-line leap and bound, in less than ten minutes, Sch Jing swiftly arrived at the Southern Urban District.

From a distance, he noticed the Abandoned District's void trembling intensely, with the air throughout the entire area visibly rippling, and occasionally, a point or a small area would suddenly erupt with undulating void ripples like ocean waves.

This was far more severe than any Dimensional Seismic he had witnessed before.

"It seems this time it's for real."

Sch Jing's gaze shifted, landing within the White Raven Base.

"What's the situation?"

He turned to Xu Jian, who was clad in a tactical suit, her figure as fit as a female leopard.

Xu Jian raised her hand to shield herself from the violent wind caused by the Dimensional Seismic ahead, narrowing her eyes slightly, and pointed at a screen on a device in front of her, saying:

"In the time it took you to get here, the Energy Ratio has climbed to nearly 50%."

Sch Jing glanced at the screen, which displayed a progress bar reading 【ER: 48.76%】.

The number continued to rise, and within seconds, it became 【48.81%】.

"The situation is a bit odd."

Xu Jian furrowed her brows slightly and said, "Usually, when the two boundaries slowly brush against each other without ever overlapping, it leads to a continuous buildup of pressure. Eventually, it accumulates to a strength comparable to a 'collision,' erupting into a 60% Energy Ratio in a powerful overlap phenomenon."

"But now, although the Energy Ratio is steadily rising, it's showing a slow upward trend, as if the accumulated pressure is being slowly released... There's no precedent for this."

A staff member nearby quickly reported:

"Captain, the Energy Ratio has exceeded 50%!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Abandoned District ahead underwent a sudden transformation.

Like a painting being randomly scribbled on by a child, the entire area began to distort and change. At times, it would distort like a funhouse mirror, expanding and shrinking, and at other times, indistinct shapes would abruptly appear and then quickly disappear.

Upon seeing this, Sch Jing spoke, "What should I do?"

Xu Jian's gaze turned serious. "Wait."

"This is very strange... It doesn't look like an overlap phenomenon."

In the center of the Abandoned District, a small, pitch-black 'dot' suddenly appeared.

Like a singularity before the birth of the universe, it pulsated like a living being, expanding and contracting as if breathing.

With each breath, the black dot grew imperceptibly larger.

The instant Sch Jing saw the black dot, a tingling sensation spread from the top of his head, quickly covering his entire body.

A sense of impending danger gripped him, causing his gaze to sharpen.

"Something's wrong, Captain Xu Jian."

Xu Jian looked at him questioningly, but Sch Jing waved his hand decisively, stating, "Run! Take everyone and leave this place immediately!"

Xu Jian didn't question Sch Jing's sudden assertiveness.

The situation had gone beyond her expertise, and having Sch Jing, who seemed to understand the circumstances, take charge was better than her blindly acting.

She immediately shouted, "Full retreat! Move away from the Dimensional Seismic area!"

"Yes, sir!"

Facing an unprecedented anomaly, even the White Raven members were intimidated. Hearing the order, they responded loudly and began grabbing essential equipment and documents, swiftly retreating like a receding tide.

Xu Jian turned to look at the black dot in the center of the Abandoned District, which was growing larger. In the howling wind, she furrowed her brows and shouted to Sch Jing, "What have you noticed? What do you plan to do?"

Sch Jing's cobalt eyes fixed on the black dot... no, it should now be called a 'black hole.'

The pitch-black circular hole, now the size of half a fist, was visible to Sch Jing's enhanced vision, like looking through a microscope.

He saw... an eye.

An eye that didn't belong to any human or creature from Earth, filled with an aura that clashed with this world, ominous and eerie.

That eye stared fixedly at Sch Jing, silently conveying a message: It's you, you are my target, I have come for you.

Sch Jing flexed his wrist and said softly,

"Captain Xu Jian, you should leave too... Something filthy is approaching."

Xu Jian, though still unsure, nodded and said, "Be careful," before turning and quickly departing.

Sch Jing was left alone, facing the strange eye within the black hole.

"Why..."

Sch Jing's eyes narrowed in thought.

He was certain that the eye within the black crevice had only one target—him.

Although it was an inexplicable intuition, his journey thus far had proven that his instincts were not mere delusions but rather an incredibly accurate form of perception.

But... why? What was this eye, and why was he its target?

Did it only set its sights on him after seeing him, or... had it marked him as its target even before it could see him, and this time, it had come from another world specifically to find him?

If it were the former, it wouldn't be surprising. After all, he was unique, and it was only natural for some beings capable of sensing his uniqueness to take an interest in him.

However, if it were the latter... things would be terrifying.

It meant that beyond the present world, there were beings from other worlds who had their eyes on him.

Moreover, they possessed the means to cross between worlds.

Sch Jing's gaze turned solemn, and instead of fleeing, he chose to remain still, silently awaiting the arrival of this unknown creature from another dimension.

He sensed a hint of danger, but with his vast array of skills, he wasn't afraid. Even if he couldn't win, it didn't matter.

The most crucial task at hand was to understand the situation.

If it were true that this creature had specifically descended from another world to seek him out... then when did this start?

He recalled his conversation with the taxi driver, who had mentioned that the 'high-frequency Dimensional Seismic' phenomenon in the abandoned district of South City had begun over a decade ago, causing the area to become a wasteland. At that time, Sch Jing wasn't even sure if he had been born yet.

It was only in the last four to five months that the area had officially become a region where dimensional overlaps could occur at any moment.

"Wait a moment."

Sch Jing's heart skipped a beat.

Over a decade ago... how many years exactly?

He took out his phone, opened a search engine, and began his inquiry.

Typing in keywords like 'Qingcheng', 'South City Suburbs', 'Dimensional Seismic', and 'Abandoned District', he quickly scrolled past irrelevant information and advertisements to find a news report titled 'Jiaozhi Corporation's New Development Zone Confirmed as High-Frequency Dimensional Seismic Area'.

Without reading the details, Sch Jing immediately checked the publication date of the news.

June 21, 250.

It was five days after Sch Jing's birthdate.

A chilling sensation crept up from the soles of his feet, spreading throughout Sch Jing's body.

"Is this a coincidence... or..."

Sch Jing's pupils constricted.

If it were a coincidence, it was an incredibly uncanny one.

The moment he was born, this area became a high-frequency Dimensional Seismic region, and now, at the center of this region, a sinister being with him as its target was about to descend into the present world.

Sch Jing couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

"BOSS once said that interference between different worlds is extremely troublesome. Even for superstring beings like the Otherworld Gods, their ability to interfere with the present world is extremely limited."

"If there's an otherworldly existence that marked me as a target long ago and wants to do something to me, it's very likely that they've been preparing since the moment of my birth, and only now have they barely managed to successfully interfere with the present world."

The more Sch Jing thought about it, the more chilling it became.

He took a deep breath and composed himself, his expression turning grim.

"Regardless, whether it's like this or just my overactive imagination, there's only one thing to do now."

He stared at the black spherical hole, which had grown to the size of a fist, and locked eyes with the eerie eye within.

"I need to try and gather as much information as I can from this thing."

There was an existence from another world that had been watching him since his birth.

This possibility made Sch Jing feel a chill down his spine for the first time.

Ever since he obtained the Divine Skill and activated his first Godly Skill, he had always believed that as long as he developed steadily, with time, he would one day rival the gods with his mortal body.

But now, it seemed that his path had never been as smooth as he thought.

The Secret Martial Society, the Thirteen Great Families, and the Otherworld God Cult—these powerful forces had always harbored ill intentions towards him, but Sch Jing had never truly worried about them.

One reason was that he had powerful backers, and the other was his unwavering belief in his own strength, which would one day utterly crush them. He had absolute confidence in his future.

However, this time, the being that had set its sights on him was different.

It was capable of crossing the boundaries between worlds and might have been watching him since his birth over a decade ago.

Sch Jing felt as if he had been entangled in some terrifying affair.

"I can't remain ignorant about this. I must find a way to gather enough information; otherwise, I'll have no initiative at all."

Sch Jing sat cross-legged, quietly awaiting the arrival of the creature from the other side of the black hole.

The only possible source of information for him at the moment.

Time slowly passed.

...

Qingcheng University, Library, 7th Floor.

Wu Youqing, rarely without a book, stood by the window of the attic, quietly facing the direction of the Southern District.

Her hands were clasped behind her back, one hand grasping the other's wrist. Her amethyst-like crystal eyes were unfocused, as if she was deep in thought.

In the crack of the window, a matchstick burned, its flame alternating red and blue, seemingly more intense than ever before.

Faintly, a tiny, almost invisible shadow was sticking close to Wu Youqing, with its hands resting on the window, also seemingly gazing towards the Southern District.

"Chi... Ci... Omnipotent... Forgotten..."

The petite figure transmitted a faint, intermittent voice, barely audible amidst the static, making it difficult to discern.

Wu Youqing, however, seemed to understand perfectly. She shook her head and said,

"I can't leave here for now, and I can only rely on him... Don't worry, this is just the beginning. According to my estimation, he should be able to handle it easily."

"Wander... Mom... Dad..."

Wu Youqing rolled a strand of her hair in front of her, saying,

"According to your previous statement, the future will be condensed into a relatively small number of possibilities. The possibility of him having a problem now won't be any higher than the possibility of the universe's destruction in the next second, so why worry?"

"Dad... Don't..."

Wu Youqing sighed, "If you're really born in the future, I'll never let him raise you. We'll see when you grow up."

Hearing these words, the tiny figure seemed anxious, and the static in its voice suddenly increased,

"I must... I want... not... Dad... disagrees... he... leave..."

Wu Youqing's expression remained unchanged, "You dare to say such words, it seems my decision is right."

"Please..."

Wu Youqing hummed, "No way."

"I want... Wanwan Gu..."

Wu Youqing coldly huffed, "No one can help you."

The tiny figure seemed to cry, its voice faint and intermittent.

Wu Youqing rubbed her temples with a hint of a headache, and a trace of helplessness appeared on her delicate face,

"Forget it, this doesn't seem to work either. It might be better to wait until you're older, otherwise, it's more likely to cause problems."

She pondered, "Perhaps it's better to find a way to make you be born as a boy. At least, his attitude won't be an issue..."

The tiny figure stopped its whimpering and seemed to be laughing,

"Not denying... Admitting... Not..."

Wu Youqing was slightly startled, her face flushing with embarrassment as she glared at the tiny figure,

"You've got me confused!"

...

"Dong—Dong—"

A rhythmic, strange vibration began to emanate from the black hole at the center of the Abandoned District.

As time passed, the originally fist-sized black hole had expanded to nearly a meter in diameter.

Strangely, when the black hole was small, the eye inside was about the same size as the hole, but now that the hole had grown to a meter, the eye had also proportionally increased to about a meter in size.

Sch Jing glanced at the detection instruments nearby, which hadn't been taken away by the White Raven members. They displayed ER: 68.61%.

After some thought, he snapped his fingers, and a black air current condensed in the shadows, transforming into a two-meter-long pitch-black greatsword, floating by his side.

He activated Ascension, manipulated Vital Force, and then used Flying Sword Technique to unleash the Ultimate Technique: Omni Eye of Wisdom.

Sch Jing pointed, and the pitch-black greatsword instantly shot out, creating a sonic boom as it traveled at supersonic speed towards the eye within the black hole.

"Goo—"

When the greatsword made contact with the eye, it was like piercing the surface of water, causing only a few ripples before being swallowed by the black hole and disappearing without a trace, while the eerie eye remained intact.

For some reason, the upper and lower eyelids of the eye moved closer together, as if it was smiling.

It was mocking.

"Despicable creature," Sch Jing muttered.

"Good, I'll wait right here for you to come out."

Sch Jing extended his right hand, grasping the void, and drew out the Night Watch Sword from nothingness.

"I and I, Indivisible."

Amidst the sacred word soul, crimson radiance gathered, and a tall Twin-faced Son slowly materialized behind him, their two faces, turned away, exuded indifference and compassion, like divine guardians watching over Sch Jing.
