Chapter 1259 -339: Conversation with Xian, Where Xian Exists Is the Present

How can we be sure we’re not in the past?

Because Ning Zheng’s Shadow Calamity Immortal Venerate is in the [Past].

As the nearly omnipotent and omnipresent Celestial Phenomenon, it can instantly summon this Celestial Phenomenon Immortal Venerate.

But here, the rules and principles are sparse, the Heavenly Dao is not evident, and the Celestial Phenomenon Immortal Venerate cannot come here, clearly making it not the prison of the [Past].

But it is also not the future.

Because Ning Zheng’s true form is in the [Future], and the timeline has only a trace of historical anecdote, making it easy to investigate clearly.

Here can only be the legendary mysterious, least informed, most unknowable [Present].

If time were a long line.

The [Past] is long in the front, the [Future] is long in the back, but the [Present] only occupies an instant.

And this [Present], if Ning Zheng is correct, is right in the [Time City Gate] at the central node.

Xian is inherently mysterious.

Whether in the past or the future, Xian is dead, so, as the undying Celestial Phenomenon Immortal Venerate, the fourth Supreme Immortal Venerable, where does he really live?

The answer is very clear.

Xian lives in the present.

“I should be able to see the truly living Xian here… see that legendary mythical figure, the one who laid out the Nine-State world and influenced the youth of Jiu Shui… the mad Human Ancestor.”

“He lives in the Time City Gate.”

Ning Zheng wandered around, looking here and there.

The familiar street scenes made him feel very interested.

He walked through more than half the street, then glanced at the cross-era game known as “Xirong Manor”.

Even the internet cafes had VR headsets, and even high-end biological pods were provided just for these millions of players.

Some of the spells inside could not be cultivated by the blacksmiths, but after ascending to the Immortal Realm, obtaining various scientific techniques, they could actually be used in reality.

This has led to a small explosion of various technologies in the past year.

And the Sword Fairy, Su Yuniang, Jiucai Rong, Night Mad Cultivator, Daojiu, and others have also been elevated in status and sent to strictly confidential military buildings to play games.

Moreover, they do not live in the same place.

For confidentiality and security measures, they each live in some secret bases in different locations and do not reveal themselves to the outside.

“Never paid attention to the real-world environment of these blacksmiths, I never expected them to develop to this extent.”

Ning Zheng didn’t care about that.

Putting aside hometown sentiments, this was just an ordinary world.

However, it must be admitted that these blacksmiths did help him complete the primitive accumulation, even helped him understand the world, taught him the dangers of human nature…

How to develop power, become a so-called capitalist.

After thinking it over, Ning Zheng’s figure flashed and quietly appeared in a secret base a few kilometers away.

He entered the room, looking at a young man with curly hair, a pale face, and heavy dark circles under the eyes who was posting something.

Night Mad Cultivator: “Ah, ah, ah, the starry backdrop in reality can’t let the silly blacksmiths outside know, we must change it back, understand?”

Beside him, several people in military uniforms were recording the chat content, and it seemed the event was making them act more vigorously.

Ning Zheng took a few glances, feeling a bit speechless but still not interested in anything further.

With a thought, he disappeared from where he stood.

In the next second, he shot straight out of Blue Star’s atmosphere, taking a look at the beautiful blue planet from outer space, glancing at the Earth-Moon cycle.

He took another step forward.

Arriving at Mars, then looking at Mercury, observing the planets of the Solar System.

“No problem at all, is this the present?” He frowned slightly, gently opening the space teleportation array, only to find it somewhat awkward.

It took ten times the normal mana to perform the teleportation. ⅇℓ.

When he appeared again, he was already in a distant nebula region, surrounded by various gaseous, liquid, and solid desolate planets.

“Nothing here at all?”

“The number of civilizations here is so sparse.”

Ning Zheng was still trying to explore the wonder of the [Present] when a gentle and peaceful voice came from high above.

“Stop searching, there are no answers you seek here.”

Ning Zheng looked up.

A youth had appeared before him at an unknowable time, his expression somewhat dejected, aged, giving a sense of despair.

Ning Zheng raised an eyebrow, “Human Ancestor?”

“You can call me Xian.” The youth glanced casually at Ning Zheng, saying faintly, “You can also call me Immortal, or call me Present, the place of now is the present.”

Now?

Quite interesting.

Ning Zheng showed a trace of understanding.

“Come with me.” The youth spoke softly.

The two arrived at another planetary system outside Blue Star, entered a civilization on another planet, and sat down in a restaurant, ordering some dishes.

“I know why you’ve come, but do you know what you are in my eyes?”

The youth’s expression was calm. After a pause, he answered himself:

“In my eyes, Xian is the truly vivid present, they are merely historical figures dead in the past, and you… are merely a bunch of void future transmigrators.”

Ning Zheng frowned, for him, this was an outrageous statement, denying his and the existence of the Sword Casting Manor’s significance.

“Don’t be quick to refute.”

The youth said blandly, “From my perspective, your past and future, they are eras that don’t exist, understand?”

“Only the present is truly real.”

“So, I’m doing well now. From my perspective, I already won after that battle.”

Won?

Winning would make you so despondent?

However, Ning Zheng didn’t delve deeper into that topic, avoiding angering the other party.

Ning Zheng couldn’t help but say, “This is a bit too much philosophy.”

The youth smiled, “If you consider time as a movie being played, the past is the completed progress bar, the future is the not yet played progress bar.”

“That red dot on the progress bar, the image being played frame by frame, that is the [Present].”

Ning Zheng had some understanding then.

In Xian’s eyes, the existence of the other two places are nihilistic life forms, merely dead people.

The present, is the most important node on the timeline!

Ning Zheng said, “Senior, I do not wish to discuss these philosophical issues. I just want to know about matters on Blue Star.”

“A tedious and realistic little guy.” The youth hugged himself, coldly, “I am not very clear about what’s happening on that star, ultimately, because I don’t want to bother.”

“But I will tell you the information I do know.”

Ning Zheng made a posture of listening attentively.

“Firstly, why does the nebula change?” The youth said calmly, “Because now is the end, the frontier, past and future will simultaneously interfere and change the present.”
