One thousand something years ago, nearly two thousand years ago, if I were to compare it to a point, then at this point of yours in the past, in the same force of power from True Sacred Yin World keeping a lookout over the barren lands, in the same vortex of galaxies, in the same planet in the desert, and in the same hall …
The cultivator from True Sacred Yin World who had once chased after Su Ming was kneeling on the ground and telling Huo Zhu about a person called Mo Su in Western Ring Nebula. He even told her that there was a crane by his side.
In the past, Huo Zhu stood high above the masses. The awe-inspiring might of her voice could make all the people kneeling before her tremble in reverence. With just one sentence, she could decide Su Ming's fate in Western Ring Nebula.
In truth, Su Ming had been forced into Western Ring Nebula's foreign land in the past … because of the conversation they had in the past.
After a thousand something years, Su Ming came to this place and stood in front of Huo Zhu. Huo Zhu's trembling voice echoed in his ears as she addressed him as senior. It was a pity that Su Ming did not know about the story in the past, or else he would have been filled with a myriad of emotions at that moment.
Unfortunately, Huo Zhu did not know that Mo Su, whose fate had been decided by her words all those years ago, was now standing in front of her. Now … he had destroyed this world, destroyed this part of the starry sky.
Fate was always this confusing. It was this way of reversing the universe. It was this way that people would unknowingly change their positions … That was why people were so persistent and obsessed. That was why people would struggle, resist, and try to escape the teasing of fate. However … this struggle and resistance was like a moth flying into a flame. In the end, the one who could be reborn in the fire was definitely not a moth, but an undying phoenix that was willing to fall in the fire.
When Su Ming walked closer and lifted his right hand with an aloof expression on his face, he seized the candle flame. At that instant, a piercing roar came from within it.
That roar was not unpleasant to hear. Instead, it sounded like a ballad. Even though it was a murmur that could not be heard clearly, anyone who heard it would naturally know that it was a ballad.
At the same time, the ancient scroll on the table started flipping through. As its pages flipped, it was as if time was flowing around Su Ming at the speed of one thousand years.
This was Zhu Huo's divine ability, a divine ability that gave her the qualifications to live in this place!
Time is like a song!
Su Ming's right hand started rapidly withering away right before his eyes, as if a thousand years had passed while he stretched it out. Huo Zhu had executed this divine ability multiple times in her life, and every single time she used it, it would bring about a miraculous effect, but this time …
"Insignificant skill!" At the instant Su Ming's right hand withered away, he let out a cold harrumph. One of the Abyss Builders' inborn abilities was the Art of Time. This divine ability might be effective against others, but against Su Ming, it was completely useless. As he let out a cold harrumph, his right hand immediately returned to normal. The power of time disappeared from his body without a trace, and the ancient scroll shuddered. Immediately, half of its pages were reduced to dust.
At the same time, half of the candle's flame was extinguished. As it struggled with great difficulty and Su Ming's right hand was about to touch it, the woman's face twisted, and she screamed once again.
As she screamed, the ancient scroll on the table was originally flipping its pages from left to right. Even though half of its pages had been destroyed, the other half was still flipping. However, at the instant Huo Zhu screamed, those pages started flipping in reverse and started flipping from right to left.
At the same time, a power that could reverse time swiftly spread out from Su Ming's body.
"My strongest ability isn't the spreading of time, but the reversal of time. With my life as the price, I will reverse time!" Huo Zhu's voice was piercing. At the instant she spoke, Su Ming's body looked as if it was flowing backwards as time flowed in reverse. His cultivation base and Nascent Divinity also flowed away. The existence of this power caused the cold sneer on Su Ming's lips to become even wider. He decided to let go of his will and let the power of time reversal spread through his body.
"Three thousand years!" Huo Zhu roared. Immediately, Su Ming's body shrank rapidly. In an instant, he turned into an area of nothingness, as if he no longer existed. A simple and unsophisticated air appeared on his body. It was the time when he returned to Dark Mountain as time reversed, but soon, all of this disappeared without a trace. When he reappeared … he was already in Dark Mountain.
"How could this be?!" Huo Zhu's eyes went wide, and disbelief shone in them as she roared again.
"Three thousand years!" The reversal of time continued appearing on Su Ming's body. The smile on his lips did not change. As his body became semi-transparent, it looked as if cycles of life and death had appeared within him, and the scenes of Dark Mountain appeared again and again.
All of this caused Huo Zhu's expression to continuously change. Disbelief appeared in her eyes, and she once again sacrificed her life to roar.
"Thirty thousand years!" This time, she gave it everything she had. As she roared, the power of time let out a bang on Su Ming's body. Thirty thousand years reversed, and at the instant Huo Zhu let out a sigh of relief in her heart, she suddenly let out a shrill scream of pain.
Su Ming's body was still semi-transparent, but his insides were empty, as if he was in a black hole. This time, he had returned to the time before he was born, when he was in his mother's womb … and he was surrounded by the power of the Curse.
At the instant Huo Zhu touched it with her divine ability, the Curse spread out and invaded her soul. Her screams of pain echoed in the air for only the span of a breath before all the ancient scrolls shattered, and the candle flame … was instantly extinguished.
Su Ming's expression remained as calm as ever. He had clearly expected this to happen, or else he would have resisted it earlier. In truth, he had also used this opportunity to witness just how strong the Curse on him was in the past.
At that moment, when the candle flame was extinguished, the candlestick shattered with a bang, revealing … a corpse hidden in the dimension within it!
It was a woman's corpse. She was old, and her entire body was rapidly rotting away. A foul stench filled the area. Su Ming lifted his right hand and seized the air from the corpse's storage bag. The storage bag immediately landed on his palm. When he patted it, it crumbled, and a black coffin fell to the ground.
At the instant the coffin appeared, a powerful, mighty pressure spread out from it. It was so strong that the instant Su Ming sensed it, his heart trembled, and his pupils shrank. This presence … surpassed all the existences in Su Ming's memories.
In fact … the only thing that could compare to it was Chang He's Master, the Sublime Paragon of True Sacred Yin World, the one Su Ming had seen on the Life Inequity Spear in the fifth kiln!
At the instant the coffin appeared, the bald crane flew out of Su Ming's storage bag. With a trembling hand, it stared at the coffin … and a skeleton placed inside.
It could be seen that the skeleton belonged to a ferocious beast, but at that moment, it was a bloody mess. It might have dried up, but it was still impossible to tell what it looked like when it was alive. However, the presence spreading out from the skeleton was astonishingly similar to the bald crane's.
The bald crane shuddered and stared at the skeleton in the coffin with a dumbfounded expression. It seemed to be mumbling, but at the same time, it also seemed to be talking to Su Ming.
"What a strange feeling … Darn it all, is this my physical body in the past?"
"I have a strong premonition that after I fuse with this body, I'll recover more than half of my memories. I'll be able to remember many things that I've forgotten. I'll be able to remember … my origins, my identity, and why I've become a soul.
I can still remember. 'Darn it all, just who was it that nearly destroyed my soul in the past …' The bald crane shuddered and lifted its right claw. Just as it was about to touch the carcass, it suddenly froze.
"I also have a very strong feeling that once I remember these things … I … I will no longer be me. I will no longer be the bald crane, and I will no longer be Su Ming's companion … I … Who will I be..?" The bald crane trembled even more, and conflict appeared on its face.
"I will turn into another consciousness, or rather, I will turn into my past self, and I will no longer exist … But I will be very strong … Very, very strong!" The bald crane's consciousness was a little muddled, and it swiftly threw its head back to roar. Struggle and conflict appeared on its face.
When Su Ming saw this, he could only remain silent. He could help the bald crane retrieve its physical body, because to him, the bald crane was not a pet … but a friend.
Even though this friend of his was a little unreliable and greedy, but … a friend was a friend.
However, Su Ming could not help it choose. The bald crane would have to rely on itself to walk down its path.
"Darn it all, why do I feel like I hate my past self … Once I fuse with it, I will become it, but … but I really want to fuse with it. I want to remember everything. I want to know … what I lost in my life … Why do I cry when I look at Husband Gazing Mountain? Why do I feel terrible when I look at the galaxy? Why do I sometimes think of certain people …" As the bald crane struggled, its eyes turned bloodshot. It turned around swiftly to look at Su Ming.
"Darn it all, I'm quite happy right now. I won't fuse with it, but help me keep it. When you gather all the physical bodies in the future, it won't be too late for me to fuse with it." The bald crane gritted its teeth and put on a nonchalant expression as it spoke with great difficulty.
Su Ming cast the bald crane a glance. He respected its decision. When he lifted his right hand, he swung his arm, and the coffin exuding a presence that caused Su Ming to shudder was immediately put away into his storage bag. Soon after, the mighty pressure in the area disappeared.
The bald crane crouched down. There was a hint of reluctance to part in it, but it soon turned into determination. When Su Ming turned around, it turned into a long arc and left the planet with him.
Everything ended. When Su Ming appeared in the galaxy where the forces of power from the former True Sacred Yin World were stationed, he dispelled the seal on the fifth kiln. The Almighty in Life Realm cast Su Ming a deep glance before turning around and disappearing. He left the galaxy. The remaining five people in the distance also swiftly left into the distance. Their figures disappeared as they swiftly fled … out of the wasteland.
