NOVPUBWhen Xu Zimei opened his eyes, he found that he had somehow already appeared in the Old Land.
The transformations within the Old Land were still ongoing.
Xu Zimei slowly closed his eyes, feeling the enhancement from the War God’s Nine Transformations within his body.
The War God’s Nine Transformations could multiply his strength, but they also had their drawbacks.
Every time after using the War God’s Nine Transformations, there would be a period of weakness in his body.
Xu Zimei walked out of the transformations of the Old Land and returned to the Divine Gate.
"You really came out," the Divine Emperor said somewhat surprised.
After all, in the transformations of the Old Land through the generations, no one besides the Great Emperors had ever come out alive.
Not to mention a martial artist of the Emperor Pulse Realm.
"Do me a favor," Xu Zimei said indifferently.
...…
At this moment inside the Old Land, with each transformation of this scene, heaven and earth would thunder, and endless spiritual energy roared.
In a very secretive dark place, a coffin quietly floated midair.
Around the coffin, time was forbidden; nobody knew how long it had been floating there.
Above the coffin was a clock face pattern.
The pattern had twenty-four rings; with every transformation of the Old Land, the clock face would turn one ring.
At this moment, as the "clang clang" of the clock hands sounded, it was especially clear in the silent darkness.
Finally, the transformation of the Old Land outside came to an end, and the clock hands also reached the last ring.
"Click."
At that moment, the lid of the coffin was suddenly opened, and as the lid disappeared, a woman suddenly sat up from inside the coffin.
The woman was dressed in a blue gown, and as she slowly stepped out of the coffin, her blue gown spread across the land like a field of blooming flowers in its beauty.
The previously halted clock face suddenly began to move backward at a high speed.
At this moment, a beam of light shot out from the clock face.
A man’s phantom slowly emerged in the light.
The woman looked around blankly and, upon seeing the phantom appear, she hurriedly exclaimed,
"Brother Tian Shi."
"Qin, long time no see," Tian Shi said with a smile, his tone affectionate.
"Brother Tian Shi, what’s happening?" Lin Qing asked, puzzled.
With a wave of Tian Shi’s hand, at that moment, countless reverse flows appeared in the dark void.
A River of Time, carrying five-colored light, descended from the sky.
Tian Shi smiled and said, "Go, this is the legacy I’ve prepared for you. Once you accept it, you will understand what’s happening."
Lin Qing nodded and stepped into the River of Time without any hesitation.
Watching Lin Qing step into the River of Time, Tian Shi finally muttered to himself as if relieved of a heavy burden,
"It’s a success."
At that moment, a sudden sound of footsteps arose from nearby.
Tian Shi’s gaze sharpened, and with a wave of his right hand, endless laws of time flowed, and the entire darkness surged with an overwhelming aura.
"Time Emperor, please refrain from taking action, I am entrusted by another," the figure hurriedly said.
When the darkness dispersed, the figure that appeared was none other than the Divine Emperor.
Tian Shi looked at the Divine Emperor and said indifferently, "You better have a perfect explanation."
The Divine Emperor smiled, slowly took out a jade pendant, and handed it to Tian Shi.
"Junior Brother Zimo," Tian Shi’s expression became somewhat clear as he recognized the jade pendant, closing his eyes and pondering for a long time, murmuring to himself.
"This is something left by our ancestors," the Divine Emperor said slowly.
"Time is really magical, isn’t it? Before you know it, so much time has already passed," Tian Shi remarked with a sigh.
As he spoke, he took out a round bead from the void and handed it to the Divine Emperor.
"Take it, this bead is called the Destiny-Defying Bead, and it has a certain chance to change a person’s destiny.
I hope you can handle it properly."
"Destiny-Defying Bead," the Divine Emperor said with some surprise as he looked at the round bead in his hand.
It looked like an ordinary bead, but upon closer inspection, it seemed very strange.
"If you can really change Junior Brother Zimo’s destiny, tell him I’m waiting for him in the Upper Realm," Tian Shi said calmly.
The Divine Emperor nodded. Then, with a sweep of Tian Shi’s right hand, the boundless darkness disappeared, and the Divine Emperor’s figure also returned to the Old Land. 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
...
"How did you come to know the Time Emperor?" the Divine Emperor asked Xu Zimei with some surprise. "He’s from so many eras ago."
Xu Zimei looked at the Destiny-Defying Bead in his hand, smiled, and remained silent.
"Then what’s the relation between the evolution of this Old Land and the Time Emperor? You ought to tell me that, at least," the Divine Emperor continued to inquire.
"It has nothing to do with you," Xu Zimei said. "You only need to understand one thing.
From now on, the curse of the Ancient Remnants will be completely erased."
Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, the Divine Emperor pondered for a long time and finally slowly said, "You’re more mysterious than I imagined."
...…
As for the origin of the Old Land, many people knew that it was the site of a tribe called the Cang Tribe from the Mythical Era.
The Time Emperor had thought of the concept of the Destiny-Defying Bead a long time ago, but an accident caused him to return to the Mythical Era.
That was a period in his growth that held extraordinary significance, where he also met a girl he liked.
"Lin Qing!"
But ultimately, they were not from the same era. To be with the girl he liked,
After traversing back from the Mythical Era, the Time Emperor started to earnestly study the Path of Time.
Eventually, after he took on his destined role, he finally turned his idea into reality.
Since then, the Destiny-Defying Bead had come into existence in the world.
People could use the Destiny-Defying Bead to travel back a long time to change someone else’s past.
Once the past was changed, that person’s future destiny would inevitably be altered as well.
This is a sort of item that defies the heavens.
Therefore, when the Time Emperor created it, he once faced obstruction from the Heavenly Dao.
Especially when the Time Emperor was on the brink of condensing a fourth Destiny-Defying Bead after strenuously forming three,
The Heavenly Dao became utterly enraged and sent down Nine Heavens Divine Thunder to strike at the Time Emperor.
This severely violated the rules of the Heavenly Dao.
In the end, the Time Emperor could only reluctantly give up.
From then on, only three Destiny-Defying Beads remained in the world.
One such Destiny-Defying Bead was used by the Time Emperor to change Lin Qing’s fate.
This so-called Old Land, including the curse of the Ancient Remnants, were merely protective measures taken by the Time Emperor to prevent his own destiny from being disrupted during reversal.
The evolution of the Old Land was just a distortion arising from the Time Emperor’s reversal of destiny.
...
Before reversing destiny, the Time Emperor had set up countless traps in different small worlds.
In these small worlds, only one contained the Mythical Era that he reversed destiny to, while the others hid deadly perils.
Those who entered the Old Land died within them.
Having observed this scene from the River of Fate, Xu Zimei found the exact small world.
When reversing destiny for someone else, the reverser’s own fate is tightly intertwined with it.
Xu Zimei’s appearance did not change the outcome of the reversal of destiny; he merely added his own role to it.
