To the Abyss Builders, the past … was just a jade slip that recorded the past that had fused with time. Others might not be able to see the jade slip and would not be able to figure it out, which was why it was difficult for them to know about it.
However, to the Abyss Builders, who possessed the Art of Time, some of the powerful warriors among them could see the ancient past.
Su Ming could be said to be at the peak of the Abyss Builders. If he did not have a trigger, he could go back in time for ten thousand years, but once he had a trigger and had a specific time reversal, he could travel even longer and see everything he wanted to see.
Such as the black-robed young man … and Su Ming's mother.
She was a woman with a gentle personality. She was a woman who waited quietly for Su Ming's father to return, but he did not. Su Zhan died, and Su Ming disappeared with him. This was a great blow to her, and from then on … she no longer had a smile on her face.
When her life came to an end and she was buried on the altar, Su Ming saw the words on the stone monument being wiped away by an old hand in the memories of time!
The Spiritlings were a very strange tribe. The tribe's strength did not lie in its living people, but in the ancestors who had already died. They might have died, but in truth, due to the uniqueness of the Spiritlings, most of them could be said to be in deep slumber.
While they slept, they could absorb the thoughts of worship from the people in their tribe to maintain the strength of their souls and make them gather together until they woke up …
They believed that they would definitely wake up. This was the uniqueness of the Spiritlings. It was just like how Su Ming had reached the Fate Realm when he was a Master of Fate, Lives, and Death. He needed external fate to complete his own laws of fate, and the ancestors of the Spiritlings used a similar power to maintain a certain degree of immortality.
And this worship required the name of the ancestor. That was why all the ancestors of the Spiritlings had their names written on their tombstones after they died.
The hand that had appeared before Su Ming's mother's tombstone had wiped off the words on it, making it so that the descendants could not worship the Sacred Lady of this generation. It had also made Su Ming's mother's soul scatter!
When the words on the tombstone were wiped off, the Sacred Lady of this generation, Su Ming's aunt, was by the side. She saw it with her own eyes, and as she trembled, she wanted to stop it … but when the owner of the hand cast a light glance at her, she was intimidated, and she forgot to stop it. She simply allowed the hand to wipe off all traces of the words on the tombstone.
This was the past. It remained in the passage of time, and Su Ming could see it clearly.
He also saw that the hand that had wiped off the words on the tombstone belonged to a middle-aged man. There was no presence of flesh or blood on the man. He was completely a soul. Once he wiped off the words on the tombstone, he returned … to his own tomb. The spot where he had disappeared was the spot where Su Ming was looking.
That place … was the altar tomb of the previous Soul Race Clan Elder!
At the instant Su Ming looked over, the tombstone on the altar let out a piercing bang. As it did so, a huge crack appeared on the stone monument, as if it could not withstand the anger in Su Ming's gaze. It was as if everything that Su Ming looked at was about to be destroyed.
Even if he was dead, he wanted to die again! Because the person who wanted to kill him was Su Ming!
With a loud bang, the tombstone completely shattered into pieces. Su Ming took a step forward, lifted his right hand, and pushed down on the altar.
With it, the world rumbled. The altar looked as if it was being pressed down by an invisible hand from above. Starting from the altar's platform, it started shattering layer by layer. In the midst of the booming sounds, a gigantic palm print appeared on the ground!
At the center of the palm print … was a shattered coffin!
The coffin was red, as red as blood. At the instant it shattered, a hand stretched out from within. That hand was as withered as bones, and its nails were black and three feet long. As the arm appeared, a thick aura of death surged into the sky.
The hand pushed forward, and the coffin instantly shattered to reveal a thin middle-aged man dressed in a Daoist robe. His hair was white, and his eyes were like the eyes of a phoenix, but there was a red glare in his pupils. A heinous murderous aura spread out from his body, and it immediately threw Spiritlings Expanse Cosmos into chaos, causing endless ripples to appear in the entire Spiritlings Expanse Cosmos.
"You …" With a murderous aura that could terrify people, the figure that appeared in the world in this manner contained an awe-inspiring and enchanting awe that could intimidate all manner of lives. He spoke slowly towards Su Ming. That presence made him seem as if he was the only supreme being in the world. That strangeness seemed to have gathered the ultimate power of the world, and even the ghastly air around him seemed to have come from the entire Spiritlings Expanse Cosmos.
But he only said one word. Before he could even finish his second word, Su Ming had already appeared in front of the enchanting middle-aged man. He lifted his right hand, and before the middle-aged man could react to what was happening, he seized his neck and squeezed it. Cracking sounds reverberated in the air, and Su Ming smashed his neck against the ground.
Su Ming used his full strength to crush the middle-aged man's neck completely, and even his head was crushed. The impact caused the island to tremble with a bang. If it was not because Su Ming did not want to destroy the cultivation planet, he would have destroyed it with that one strike.
The middle-aged man's soul was shaken by Su Ming's sudden action. He let out a shrill scream of pain, and his body dissipated with a bang. Once it turned into fog, it gathered together in the distance. When he looked at Su Ming, shock appeared in his eyes. At that moment, he no longer had the strange and enchanting air he had when he first appeared. Instead, his eyes went wide, and disbelief and shock appeared in them.
"Who are you?!" The middle-aged man was the previous Tribe Elder. He had met the Sovereigns of Dawn in Avacaniya Realm many times, and his level of cultivation was only second to those in Avacaniya Realm. If it was not because of the uniqueness of the Spiritlings, which forced him to die, there was a high possibility that he would have reached Avacaniya Realm by then.
However, while he might have been forced to die, he had lost his physical body and turned into a soul, but as his soul was nourished over the years, he had become stronger. He had already gathered together some flesh and blood to form a shell, but when Su Ming seized him and smashed him just then, all the power of worship he had absorbed over the years was immediately crushed. The strength of Su Ming's attack made his skin crawl. It was something he had never encountered in his life.
The anger on Su Ming's face caused a chill to crawl down the middle-aged man's spine.
Su Ming would not answer. Instead, he moved forward and instantly appeared in front of the middle-aged man again. He lifted his right hand and seized the air. He might have died once, but the powerful sense of life-threatening danger rose in the middle-aged man's soul once more, but he did not dodge. Instead, madness appeared in his eyes.
If Su Ming's killing intent was not strong, he would definitely search for another way to solve it, but Su Ming's killing intent was strong. It was a killing intent that could not be neutralized or neutralized no matter what!
It was precisely because of this that the middle-aged man instantly descended into madness. He had no choice but to do so, because he did not dare to relax even for a single moment … because the pressure Su Ming brought to him was simply too great!
"This is the Spiritlings' Expanse Cosmos! Ancestor, protect us!" The middle-aged man immediately roared. At the instant Su Ming's right hand came to seize him, he swiftly formed a seal with his arms in front of him.
At the instant it appeared, all the altars and tombstones on the islands in the planet shuddered simultaneously. Countless sleeping souls flew out without opening their eyes and surrounded the middle-aged man.
They were all the ancestors of the Spiritlings who had been asleep for countless years. Some of them had already woken up, and some were still asleep, but no matter what, they flew out under the middle-aged man's summons and fused with him to fight against the great disaster of the Spiritlings!
They had not come because of the middle-aged man's great level of cultivation, but because of an inborn ability that belonged to the Tribe Elders of each generation — to summon the spirits of their ancestors!
The Tribe Elders of each generation could do this!
Almost at the instant all the souls of the ancestors of the Spiritlings gathered together and surrounded the middle-aged man to form a vortex to fight against Su Ming's hand, the world turned dark. Endless ripples appeared in the Spiritlings' Expanse Cosmos, and it was filled with the presence of the Spiritlings. It was as if the place had completely turned into the Spiritlings' Expanse Cosmos. In fact … a will appeared in it, and it was the Spiritlings' will!
"It doesn't matter how strong you are, you lunatic who wants to kill me for no reason in the Spiritlings, you must die!" As the middle-aged man roared, Su Ming's hand touched the vortex. Booming sounds reverberated in the air, and most of the vortex crumbled. It swept up the middle-aged man and forced him ten thousand feet back. A small part of his soul immediately scattered, causing his face to turn pale. The shock on his face grew stronger, but at the same time, there was also arrogance in him.
"This Expanse Cosmos belongs to the Spiritlings. This is our holy land. All the souls in this place, be it the past, present, or future, all their presences belong to the Spiritlings. They form the will of this Expanse Cosmos. You're just one person, do you think you can fight against the will of an entire Expanse Cosmos?!"
The middle-aged man's expression was ferocious as he glared at Su Ming. There was an even greater madness in his voice. In his mind, since Su Ming wanted to kill him, then he would completely destroy him, because he believed that Su Ming's strike could not do anything to him!
"Very well. I have never intended to make you pay for your mistakes alone. If that's the case … then I will use all the souls of the Spiritlings to write my mother's words on the tombstone again!" Su Ming cast the middle-aged man a cold glance. When he spoke, his words spread in all directions like a freezing gust of wind.
"You said that this Expanse Cosmos belongs to the Spiritlings?" At the instant Su Ming said those words coldly, he lifted his right hand and seized the space in the direction of the sky. With a swift yank, he changed the sky again!
Compared to Su Ming, the will of the Spiritlings' Expanse Cosmos was like a firefly before a bright sun. When Su Ming seized it, it crumbled, and with a yank, the entire Expanse Cosmos … was filled with Su Ming's will!
The middle-aged man was stunned. He was completely and utterly stunned. He stared at the sky blankly and stared at everything in a daze. His mind buzzed.
