"Otherwise, with your level of cultivation, you would only be able to bring out five-tenths of your full power. Perhaps you might not be able to completely kill those Arid Beasts due to the strangeness of their power, but you could easily make them disappear with a flick of your finger," Su Ming said slowly when he walked out. His expression was calm, and not a hint of anger could be seen on his face. His expression was as calm as water.
The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe cast Su Ming a glance. The extra pupils in his eyes disappeared at that moment. Once he returned to normal, he smiled faintly.
"The people from Great Abyss Tribe are good at scheming. They are not as straightforward and bold as Great Berserker Tribe. Based on the fact that I did not use my full strength just now, they guessed that I intentionally lured out the Arid Disaster. This is in line with Great Abyss Tribe's temperament." The old man's words were relaxed, as if he was not bothered by Su Ming's words.
"Since you like guessing, then let us play another game. If you are certain that I intentionally made you go through the Arid Disaster, then tell me, what benefit does this bring to me?" The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe's voice was calm as he stared at Su Ming with the ghost of a smile on his lips.
"Just treat it as me being reckless. It's fine whether I did it or not. What's done is done, and it's meaningless. I still have to thank you for helping me, senior," Su Ming said faintly. His gaze landed on the old man, and he wrapped his fist in his palm to bow to him.
"I can now carry out my deal with you." Su Ming did not continue with his second spirit ascension. Even though he knew the sequence of six spirit ascensions, his body had already reached its limit. If he went through his spirit ascension, only his soul would increase. It would be difficult for him to increase his other aspects.
He needed some time to completely stabilize his first spirit ascension before he could continue. There was also a thought that kept echoing in Su Ming's head.
'Since I possess the presence of Great Berserker Tribe, Great Abyss Tribe, and the Spiritlings of Dark Dawn, I wonder whether I can also have my spirit ascend in Great Abyss Tribe and the Spiritlings of Dark Dawn … I'll have to think about this carefully.'
While speaking to the old man, Su Ming lifted his head to look at the sky. The world was still shrouded in fog, but at that moment, when Su Ming looked at the sky, he had a feeling that if he wanted to leave this place, he could step into the air and leave the world of All Spirits Hall.
This was because he was now an Antecedental Spirit. He had obtained a fortuitous encounter in the All Spirits Hall and could come and go as he pleased. To him, be it the red figures or the skeletons with bone spears, none of them posed a threat to him.
He did not leave immediately because he wanted to fulfill his promise to the old man and end the trade. As for the Arid Disaster, there was no need for him to talk about it. Even if the old man admitted to it, it did not matter. The Arid Disaster would still descend. Su Ming also believed in his own judgment, so there was no need for him to waste his breath telling the old man everything.
In this cruel Firmament World, it was necessary to guard against others. This was a principle Su Ming had learned after experiencing too many things.
The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe cast Su Ming a deep glance. He fell slightly silent when he saw that Su Ming did not continue guessing. He sighed in his heart.
"I do indeed want to use you, but you are a seed of Great Berserker Tribe, and you have also become an Antecedental Spirit just like me. You only need to know that I will not harm you.
With my cultivation, I can allow you to return to the ancient past for about two days. You need to find out why I lost consciousness when I underwent the Desolate Tribulation back then and why I massacred my clansmen in those two days.
"Even if you can't find it, you must tell me everything you saw when you return. Also, you must remember this. My level of cultivation might be great, but sending you back to the ancient past is no small matter. You cannot go too far away from Heavenly Spirit Tribe. You cannot go to Great Berserker Tribe, Great Abyss Tribe, or the other tribes!
"Otherwise, my level of cultivation will be greatly depleted, and I will not be able to last for two days. In fact, there is a high possibility that I will die because I cannot withstand the backlash when you head to the other tribes. If I die …
"You will also be forever lost in the ancient past. Remember this. Also, when you return to the ancient past, your soul will fuse into the body of one of my people. You will exist in the ancient world!
"Do not do anything while you are there. If you do anything out of line, you will show signs of changing history. This sign will be instantly noticed by Arid Triad's will. Not only will it not be able to change history, it will also wipe off both of us." Do not tell me about the future, or else the result will be the same.
"You must remember that you are just a pair of eyes. Look. This is what I ask of you." The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe stared at Su Ming with a solemn expression. When Su Ming nodded, the old man sucked in a deep breath and sat down cross-legged. He lifted his right hand and struck the center of his brows. With it, eight pupils appeared in each of the old man's eyes, causing him to look incredibly strange and enchanting. A mighty pressure and presence that caused Su Ming's heart to tremble instantly spread out from the old man's body.
Once the presence spread out, it immediately shrank. As the old man uttered a few complicated and difficult to understand words, he drew a line in front of him with his left hand. The air instantly roared, and a crack that was not too big swiftly appeared. There were countless vortexes in it, and as they swept outwards, moaning sounds came from within.
When Su Ming stared at the crack, he felt as if he could see the sun, moon, stars, the universe, the universe, and the process of its rise and fall. It was caused by the rapid flow of time. The old man's face had already turned slightly pale when he tore open a seemingly normal crack. He lifted his head swiftly to look at Su Ming.
"Enter with your soul!"
A focused look appeared on Su Ming's face. He no longer hesitated. This was a deal between him and the old man. Forget about the principles of morality and justice, just the old man's strength alone was so great that Su Ming could not hope to fight against him. He had to step into the crack.
However, this did not mean that Su Ming was not on guard. A glint appeared in his eyes, and he decided to be on his guard. He did not follow the old man's request to have his soul leave his body and enter the ancient past. Instead, he took a step forward and stepped into the crack. His body was instantly swept up by a huge force, and he disappeared without a trace.
The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe fell silent. He did not stop Su Ming. Instead, he shook his head and closed his eyes. As he maintained the crack, he waited for the two days to end.
When Su Ming stepped into the crack, he immediately sensed a huge force sweeping up his body. The sun, moon, and stars howled around him. The rise and fall of the universe echoed before his eyes. He saw the four Great True Worlds in the galaxy. Time flowed in reverse, and the four True Worlds became smaller in Su Ming's eyes until they turned into five glowing spots.
There were five glowing spots that shone with a bright light. They became smaller, and in the end, two of them fused together to turn into four glowing spots that shone with a piercing light.
There were not four glowing spots, but five more appeared beside them. There were a total of nine glowing spots that surrounded the galaxy. Once they lit up, Su Ming saw nine gigantic True Worlds.
Among the nine True Worlds, he saw a lone ship leaving into the distance. As it left, the vast True Worlds formed by the nine glowing spots became smaller. When they fused together, they turned into a gigantic ball of light.
There was not just one ball of light. Beside it were two other gigantic balls of light that were about the same size.
'The first four glowing spots are the birth of the four Great True Worlds. The fifth glowing spot was separated from one of them, and the relationship between the Emperor of Abyss' True World and the Fifth True World explains this.
'The nine glowing spots that appeared later are the nine Great True Worlds of the previous era. They are the universe of Sui Chen Zi's era, and the lone ship that left into the distance … is clearly the Old Man Extermination!
'The nine glowing spots gathered together to form a ball of light in an even longer period of time, and that ball of light … if my guess is correct, it is … Wei, who disappeared!
'The other two balls of light beside it clearly belong to Wu and Shu!'
At the same time an epiphany appeared in Su Ming's head, the inborn ability of the soul of Great Abyss to reverse time in his body also gained more epiphany due to the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe's divine ability, and he looked as if he was about to reach a breakthrough.
Su Ming did not know how much time had passed. He felt his body being sucked by a huge suction force, and he charged towards the ball of light formed by the nine glowing spots. As he got closer, a loud bang rose in Su Ming's head. When his mind cleared up, he found that his eyes were closed. He smelled the fragrance of grass, heard the sounds of children playing, and all the sounds that should exist in a tribe in the morning.
Su Ming opened his eyes. He saw the blue sky, saw the gentle sunlight, saw a gigantic tribe, and saw the people in the tribe.
This was the ancient past.
"Han Di, what are you doing here? Everyone is looking for you." A gentle voice came from behind Su Ming, and he was struck on the head by the person behind him.
Su Ming turned his head around and saw a young man looking at him with a smile.
"Let's go, you idiot." The young man pulled up Su Ming, who was sitting on the ground, and walked forward.
The young man patted Su Ming's head and said with a smile, "Today is a big day. Before the elder's spirit ascension, he will talk about the will of Arid Dao to all the people in the tribe. Don't be mischievous. You have to listen carefully."
Su Ming stared at the young man in a daze. In silence, he lowered his head to look at his own body. What he saw was the body of a teenager. In silence, the young man dragged him to a huge square in the tribe. At the center of the square was a tall platform, and there was an old man sitting on it at that moment. He had a kind expression on his face as he stared at the people around him.
There were quite a number of people there. There were about thousands of them, and most of them were teenagers. All of them were looking at the old man in admiration, waiting for him to talk about the Arid Dao.
"Han Di, you're here. Where did you run off to?" The old man looked over when the young man dragged Su Ming over. When he saw him, his smile became even more kind.
