Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1983 - 1972: The Division of All Worlds

The Black Dragon said sincerely, "Such a thing won't happen. I still need your help in calming the Dragon Crystal."Upon hearing this, Ning Fan couldn't help but let out a derisive laugh, finding the statement even less believable.

Although Ning Fan had some confidence in himself, he was never arrogant.

What is the Divine Realm, after all? It's the dwelling place of the Divine Spirits, inhabited by a bunch of relics whose lifespans are counted in thousands of years.

Who can guarantee that there aren't a few talented individuals capable of resolving the Black Dragon's predicament?

"If you don't believe me, we can go to the Star Sea, and I'll give you my Divinity, and you help me heal…"

Ning Fan interrupted, "I'll let you die with that hope. I will not follow you to the Divine Realm."

Without hesitation, the Black Dragon responded, "Then let me leave."

"How cunning. You've been laying the groundwork all this time just for that sentence."

Ning Fan's eyes flashed with disdain as he said coolly, "Your legs are your own, and no one is stopping you from leaving."

"You know that's not what I meant."

Faced with Ning Fan's stubbornness, the Black Dragon began to get angry.

If he had the ability to return to the Divine Realm, how could the Black Dragon bow and scrape to a human?

"What do you mean then?"

Ning Fan scolded unhappily, "I hope you understand, it's you who are asking me, not the other way around."

"I…"

After dithering for some time, the Black Dragon laid his cards on the table, "What will it take for you to help me?"

"That depends on what kind of price you're offering."

At this moment, Ning Fan was as mercenary as a businessman, with a money-grubbing look.

"Just name it. No matter what, I can give it to you."

"Really? Somehow, I don't believe you."

"It's true."

A hint of disdain flashed in the Black Dragon's eyes; a Divine Spirit wouldn't resort to deceiving a mortal.

Ning Fan smiled cheekily, "Then I'll take the stars from the sky; can you manage that?"

"I can."

"You're messing with me, right?"

Ning Fan's face darkened, realizing he was teasing the Black Dragon, yet it seemed just the opposite — the Black Dragon was toying with him.

"Isn't it just stars? Although I can't do it, I can ask my father to help, refining the stars into Star Cores."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fan involuntarily blushed, feeling like he was asking for trouble.

"We'll talk about this later. I have something to ask you."

The Black Dragon asked excitedly, "If I answer, will you help me?"

Ning Fan unhesitatingly rejected, "Nice try. You think just answering one question can persuade me."

The Black Dragon didn't get angry; he seemed to agree that revenge was indeed a bit trivial.

"Then go ahead and ask?"

"Do you know of an ability that can…"

Saying this, Ning Fan recounted the altered New York incident.

"Afterward, no one remembered the event; it was as if it never happened. Do you know what kind of method this is?"

Upon hearing this question, most people would surely say Ning Fan just remembered incorrectly.

But the Black Dragon listened, contemplating seriously; although Ning Fan's description was outrageous, in the Divine Realm, anything is possible.

After a while, the Black Dragon pondered, "Only the Space-time Law can achieve the effect you're describing."

"How exactly does it work?"

"Space-time is like a long river flowing forward ceaselessly; we're all in this river, surging without stop.

Yet if you come into contact with the Space-time Law, you can leap out of the river, observing the entire past, present, and future of space-time."

The Black Dragon continued, "In the situation you described, with intervention in the space-time segment of 'now,' the 'fact' that has occurred can be erased."

Seeing Ning Fan silent, the Black Dragon extended his dragon claw, drawing two parallel lines on the ground and placing a small rock within them.

"This represents the Space-time Long River; this little rock represents the 'New York event' you mentioned. If I remove the stone now…"

Saying this, the Black Dragon tossed away the pebble-sized 'rock' and then pointed at the lines, saying, "The stone in space-time disappears, but those within the river don't know."

Ning Fan nodded, asking again, "So do you know this method?"

"Time, space, and soul are the three most challenging Supreme Laws to comprehend; I…"

Saying this, the Black Dragon shook his enormous head, implying there's little hope for it in this lifetime.

"Do you know anyone who can do it?"

Ning Fan added, "I mean in the Divine Realm."

"Only Divine Spirits at the Divine Emperor Level and above are eligible to access these three top-tier laws. As for…"

After a moment of hesitation, the Black Dragon added, "Regarding your mention of interfering with the causality of the Origin World, only Ancient Gods like those of the Space-time type might be able to do it."

Before Ning Fan could speak, the Black Dragon went on, "The Ancient Gods have long vanished or fallen. Furthermore, with their Divinity, they would never interfere with the causal nature of the Origin World."

Ning Fan asked curiously, "When you say the Origin World, are you referring to Earth?"

"What Earth?"

Only then did Ning Fan realize: the other party had always been in the Divine Realm, so not knowing the name Earth was quite normal.

"It's the place where we mortals live."

"That's right."

Not realizing Ning Fan's self-deprecating tone, the Black Dragon also didn't notice that a mortal's rear end was perched on his head.

"Why call it the Origin World?"

"I'm not sure; the Divine Realm has always called it that. According to my father, the Origin World is the birthplace of myriad worlds, including the Divine Realm, all space-time splitting from the Origin World."

"That's impressive. Isn't Earth your homeland then?"

Ning Fan was shocked to hear this for the first time.

"You could say that."

The Black Dragon nodded, adding, "The Origin World is protected by the Origin Will, and all the pathways to other space-time realms are in a closed state."

"Seems so."

Previously, Hilde could only summon the projection of a Two-winged Angel for this reason.

On Earth, there seems to be some rule protecting it; power beyond a certain Realm cannot enter.

"But…"

Ning Fan eyed the Black Dragon skeptically, comparing its strength to the projection angel with a dubious gaze.

"How did you come over then?"

The Black Dragon's power clearly surpassed that of the projection angel, yet it descended in True Body.

"I…"

Black Dragon hesitated, unsure if he should reveal the secret in his heart.

In the Divine Realm, no one had heard of a Divine Spirit controlling a safely traversable space-time pathway into the Origin World.

The immense value within it was imaginable.

"Speak quickly!"

A fierce glint flashed in Ning Fan's eyes as he unreservedly drew out his spiritual power, assuming the Black Dragon's old tricks were surfacing again after being comfortable for too long.

Since it was a dish on the table, it should have the realization of being devoured.

Ning Fan was set on consuming this unruly Black Dragon.

As the spiritual power moved, the Black Dragon sensed his Divine Power starting to riot.

"Stop, I'll tell you."

The Black Dragon let out a plaintive roar and quickly divulged his inner secret.
