Chapter 1088 - Strife (2/2)

As the man spoke, Fang Xingjian could sense that the helix in the high-dimensional space-time gradually stopped drilling downward.

Simultaneously, all sorts of changes started occurring above the entire martial arts planet. People’s memories started to degrade.

All memories concerning Fang Xingjian started to become blurry. Deviations began to appear in their minds regarding the events that had happened in the past three years. Memories of the state of prosperity and the rebel forces gradually disappeared. It was as if three years’ worth of time was being slowly wiped out from their minds.

“Your martial technique… is called the Nine Lives Helix, right? Going through humans’ choices and group consciousness to control the direction of the future. It’s not a bad train of thought.” The immaterial man smiled. “But all of the lives in this entire world, the entire planet, and the entire land all come from me. When they forget about your existence, how will you affect the world’s future?”

Through Fang Xingjian’s senses, the surging Dragon Qis that came down endlessly were being depleted rapidly. The Nine Lives Helix’s influence on the group consciousness was being weakened to an extremely low level.

“The consciousness can affect matter through the physical body. Matter can also affect the consciousness through the physical body.” As Fang Xingjian said this, his body started to dissipate. He integrated with the surrounding atmosphere, into the mountains and rivers, and stepped into the pavillions.

His martial will seemed to integrate into the entire world like a drizzle of rain amidst a spring breeze.

He was the breeze that cut across the air in the summer night, as well as the was the drops of water which came up as the fish in the river leaped out from its surface. He was a stretch of rock that had been through tens of million years of wind and rain. He was even the twitching light and shadows that appeared at the instant matter changed.

Seeing Fang Xingjian’s disappearance, the immaterial man laughed, “You want to fight? Don’t be regretting this!”

In an instant, his figure seemed to also disappear immediately, leaping into every corner of this planet.

At the duo’s current realm, the battle between the two of them were no longer purely a competition of their moves, power, and abilities. Instead, it was a tug of war on the long river of time, countless strifes between the past and the future.

People’s memories gradually disappeared within a few hours. The people lost all of the memories that they had from the point Fang Xingjian descended to this world.

This method was simple and crude but also extremely effective. It made Fang Xingjian lose his ability to interfere with the group consciousness, causing his Nine Lives Helix to be unable of taking root in the depths of the world’s consciousness.

However, it was also because this method was too simple and crude that it left behind a large amount of flaws.

Memories might have been forgotten, but the material relics that had been left behind were still around. They continued to have tremendous influences on the entire world over the next few months.

Amidst the night breeze, an official rubbed his head as if sensing he had forgotten something important. At the next instant, as a soft breeze blew, a page from a book was blown all the way before him.

“What is… this? Great army rebellion? His Majesty and Marie battles on the Goddess Gorge?”

On the river, a fishing boat stopped next to the Goddess Gorge. With their eyes and mouths wide open, the people on the boat stared at the terrain that had undergone a huge change.

In the palace, Eunuch Wang shook his head, feeling puzzled. He kept having the feeling that he had forgotten something. Just then, a book fell off from the bookshelves.

He picked it up and discovered that it was a secret manual he had written himself. Upon reading its contents, his countenance changed drastically.

Within a few months’ time, similar things of varying degrees kept on happening across the entire world. Countless experts suddenly came to the realization that they had lost a portion of their memories over quite a long period of time.

With the discovery of all sorts of documents, traces, and remnants, the crimson helix once again entered deep into the group consciousness.

“You’ve done well, but it’s meaningless.” Amidst the night sky, a mumble seemed to be mixed in amongst the breeze.
