Chapter 1908 - 980: Shadow Sun Seal (Part 2)

If left unchecked, decoupled fragments will collide with each other, tearing the entire framework into scattered sand.

And what he needs to do is ensure that time can proceed methodically, eliminating all the negative effects caused by temporal interference.

"In short, my job is to backstop everything you do, ensuring that everything the Temporary Worker does happens correctly in time and falls within the scope of the Jiedi Law."

The dispatcher slowly stood up, picked up his lantern, and waved to Ji Jue: "Alright, I know what you want to ask. There are many things you need to learn, newcomer.

Let's talk as we go."

From one picture frame to another, strolling leisurely through every empty frame within the Central Dispatch Center, leading Ji Jue on a leisurely walk.

Walking through the vast halls, corridors, and even elevators.

"Let's talk about it, Temporary Worker."

Suddenly, the dispatcher asked: "What do you think is the meaning of the Sky Rail Group's existence and our work's purpose today?"

"Huh?"

Ji Jue was puzzled, pondering for a moment: "Ensuring the stability and completeness of the Shadow Sun Seal?"

"Indeed, that is part of our work, but unfortunately, the stability and completeness of the Shadow Sun Seal is not decided by us.

From its initial construction, all unstable factors have been excluded by the Jiedi Law. It's a complete and sealed perfect system that, once activated, will not halt and requires no further input, truly a one-time effort.

To this end, the Sky Rail Group has invested more than ninety percent of its resources, merging everything it has into it. For this world, the duties of the Sky Rail have already been fulfilled, and its mission has been completely accomplished."

The dispatcher glanced back at Ji Jue, speaking slowly: "And the task left to us is to ensure that this result can endure eternally, eliminating other disturbances and interferences.

So, rather than saying maintaining the stability of the Shadow Sun Seal, it's about maintaining the existence of the Jiedi Law.

I know what you want to ask, don't worry, some things need time to understand slowly. If it were the President or Du Bin explaining, we might be talking until next year..."

Ding~

The elevator doors slowly opened, the Central Dispatch Center arrived.

The dispatcher grinned, waving his hand: "Follow me, let me show you something."

Not heading towards the President's office, instead walking towards the door that truly leads to the Central Dispatch Control Room, this time, under the dispatcher's guidance, the door slowly opened.

Inside the empty hall beyond the door, rows upon rows of consoles could be seen, very much in line with Ji Jue's understanding of a train dispatch room.

However, compared to the overly vast space, there were only a few teacup dogs bouncing on the buttons facing the screens.

Some employees even appeared to be dozing off.

Yet, upon seeing Ji Jue walk in, they immediately abandoned their work and began crowding around, nudging and jostling for a pat.

To be honest, the feel of petting a dog's head is really nice!

Even though, the soul of Director Ji's capitalist mind constantly wanted him to emphasize performance and work discipline... a second thought reminded him that now he too was a worker, and instantly he could empathize.

Absolutely, this is how it should be!

Giving up the slack, the world suddenly became vast!

The saying goes, you slack off, I slack off, the boss's BMW turns into a lime...

The dispatcher didn't push, allowing him to pet as he pleased.

Only after Ji Jue finished petting and playing, and was thoroughly satisfied, did the dispatcher slowly raise a hand and snap his fingers.

Instantly, a crisp sound rang out.

In the deep hum, the central screen folded away, the steel wall behind it split open, revealing a desolate scene akin to the universe.

Eternal darkness filled everything, yet the seemingly viscous darkness actually emitted strange multicolored lights, constantly expanding and then crashing against invisible walls.

Countless stars orbited quietly around the darkness, rotating silently, shining and emitting light.

And amid the cage of stars, a black star was constantly radiating black light...

Just witnessing it for a moment, Ji Jue was frozen in place.

Like a phantom, visions continuously emerged before his eyes.

A child holding the hand of his mother walking down a street in Shuzhou, a baby crying in swaddling clothes surrounded by parents, a craftsman inheriting the throne of the Heavenly Furnace standing at the pinnacle of the world, a groom taking the hand of his beloved towards the altar...

Countless scenes of the past and future.

Countless sweet or painful memories and prospects, all so close.

As if, within reach.

Just a bit more!

Just reaching out, just taking a step forward, and he could change everything of the past, controlling all the future.

In that instant, the Anchor within him suddenly shook, forcefully fixing his coordinates, causing all visions to vanish instantly.

He subconsciously took a step back.

Finally understanding what he saw...

The Shadow Sun!

This was the projection of the Shadow Sun Seal in the present world!

Unlike the sun formed by the Gate of Eternity, which devours countless lights, the void sun. Even under heavy seal, still possesses terrifying gravity.

Even just witnessing it, through the obstruction of the Sky Rail, seeing this as if through a telescope captured scene, was enough to plunge him into chaos, unable to resist the embrace of the Mutated, contaminated by the forbidden!

If it weren't for the Anchor's existence, Ji Jue might now not be able to distinguish the past, future, and present, right?

After a long silence, Ji Jue finally regained calmness, unable to resist asking:

"...How did the Sky Rail achieve this?"

In his memories of the Doomsday Special Train before, he had witnessed countless stars imprisoning the Shadow Sun, but truly witnessing this insignificant wisp of remnant, he now doubted the existence of the Shadow Sun Seal.

Is this a project that can truly be completed?

Is this a great undertaking that can be reached by human efforts?

So-called Great Evil, although different from the Superior, are inherently interconnected, meaning that purely in terms of scale, they're immeasurable levels!

Unquestionably infinite!

Compared to such a colossal existence, even the Sky Rail, burning itself out entirely, what effect does it have?

If the Great Evil weighs as heavy as a thousand pounds, the Sky Rail doesn't even register, no foundation for turning a small amount into a significant impact exists.

But now, everything happening is so bizarre.

As if ants recklessly imprisoned the sun.

Yet so stable.

Sustained for centuries, still unmoving as a mountain!

Today, Ji Jue finally felt, to what extent the miracle created by the Sky Rail was majestic and terrifying. Such power, if used in the present world, could undoubtedly alter the world hundreds or thousands of times over!

But how could this be possible?

What did the Sky Rail in past times achieve?

"...You overestimate the Sky Rail, Ji Jue."

The dispatcher sighed softly, shaking his head slowly, "In the seal of the Shadow Sun, the role played by the Sky Rail is merely a tool, a medium, a minuscule vessel and sacrifice, a consumable for achieving the plan..."

When he raised the lantern in his hand again, the scene outside the window changed abruptly, retracting, as if the distance were pulling apart, revealing the orbits of infinite stars.

Countless star trails glimmering, weaving outlines like gateways.

So magnificent.

"What else but an equivalent Superior can truly seal the Great Evil?"

This is the truth rarely known even among involved parties, unknown and unknowable by all, the true form of the Shadow Sun Seal!

The Gate of Eternity!
