"During this safe period of time, I've only managed to travel 5 times before I'm done?"
Gu Qing Shan showed an innocent expression and shrugged.
The fishman leader stared at her for a long while before solemnly speaking: 「 The void is unique, and you are the Envoy of Primal Chaos, as well as the power of the Holy Pillar, that's why you were able to achieve this 」
「 Gu Qing Shan, your path cannot be born at this point in time — — - it is a great paradox for it to be born at this point in time, the River of Time will definitely backfire 」
"Why not?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 The three void techniques originally came from outside the void, yet you wanted to create a technique of the same level within a branch of time — — not to mention, you're the Deity of the Holy Pillar, as well as the Apostle of Primal Chaos — — even the void couldn't stop the sudden birth of that technique! 」 the fishman leader replied.
"So that's how it is, what do you think I should do?" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
「 You must escape from this point in time 」 the fishman leader replied.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "If I leave, what about the others?"
The fishman leader replied: 「 The others will continue to move forward until the moment the Divine Armaments competition in Huang Quan ends, only then will they be able to enter the main stream of the River of Time through the branch of time 」
Before Gu Qing Shan could say anything, lines of crimson text had already appeared in front of her eyes:
[You've already taken advantage of them, agreeing to it is the best outcome]
"What advantage did I take?" Gu Qing Shan silently asked.
「 Outside the void, any time you travel through time will cause you to be hunted down by them, and since you're in the void, they are also wary of the Holy Pillar and Primal Chaos behind you, that's why they're being so accommodating 」 the highest echelon replied.
Gu Qing Shan cleared her throat and spoke with a serious expression: "Your excellency, you're absolutely right, I agree with your opinion"
The fishman leader's expression finally loosened and called out to someone behind him:
「 Crimson Shadow, come 」
A figure walked out from the group of fishmen and slowly turned into a slender young girl.
「 Take him through the barrier between the branch and the main stream, then place him at the appropriate point in time, understood? 」 the fishman leader spoke.
"Understood," the girl replied.
The merfolk leader then turned to Gu Qing Shan and explained: "— — This is Scarlet Shadow. She may be young, but she's the best swimmer, so you won't have any problems with her carrying you"
"It's not advisable for you to sneak in with a lot of people. Otherwise, it'll be very troublesome if you alert something."
"Alright!" Gu Qing Shan nodded at the young girl.
The girl smiled.
Gu Qing Shan turned around and clasped her fist at Xie Dao Ling: "Shifu, I'm leaving"
"Hm, take care of yourself. At that point in the future, we will meet again" Xie Dao Ling said.
"Yes!" Gu Qing Shan said solemnly.
Seeing that everything was settled, the girl named Pheasant walked up and asked softly, "Gu Qing Shan, are you ready?"
"It's done" Gu Qing Shan said.
The girl reached out a hand and gently grasped his hand. Then, she used her other hand to point at the void.
All of a sudden.
Boundless streams of water manifested around the two of them.
"Let's go" the girl Pheasant said.
She took Gu Qing Shan with her and stepped into the water, disappearing from everyone's sight.
…
The two of them were flying through the shimmering River of Time.
As the girl held Gu Qing Shan's hand, he felt a sense of buoyancy around him.
This buoyancy carried him, allowing him to follow the young girl effortlessly, shuttling back and forth in the water.
"This is the tributary you're in, familiarize yourself with the feeling of swimming underwater. When you're ready, I'll take you away" Pheasant sent her voice through telepathy.
She let go of Gu Qing Shan's hand.
That power was still there.
Gu Qing Shan tried to control that power and swam back and forth a few times.
Swimming underwater in the River of Time was different from flying on top of it — — -
Within the boundless Elemental Time, Gu Qing Shan felt himself losing all power, only that buoyancy could work.
He silently familiarized himself with that power, then sent his voice: "I'm almost used to it"
"Very well, I'll take you through the most dangerous part of the road, then help you reach a certain moment" Pheasant said.
"Thank you" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Pheasant swam back, took his hand, and continued forward.
While swimming, she looked left and right as if searching for something.
At some point.
Pheasant abruptly pulled Gu Qing Shan and the two of them quickly moved a bit to the left.
An immense force suddenly came from behind them.
Their speed immediately became faster, and they swam more nimbly.
"This is a Temporal undercurrent, I've finally found it" Pheasant sent a joyful telepathy.
"Right now, we only need to follow its direction and float forward?" Gu Qing Shan sent his voice and asked.
"Yes, I'll let you know when we need to change paths" Pheasant replied.
The two of them continued to move forward along the undercurrent.
The river ahead of them became wider and deeper, almost as vast as the ocean.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized something.
— — I'm entering the main path of the River of Time.
Pheasant's expression slowly turned serious.
"Be careful, the most dangerous part of the river is ahead, we need to maintain absolute silence" she said through telepathy.
"Got it" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Ahead of them, the river slowly became murky.
Numerous gigantic shadows suddenly appeared and silently swam through the depths of the River of Time.
As Gu Qing Shan looked over, he saw that these shadows were giving off chaotic images, as if they were in some sort of chaotic state.
At the deepest part of the river, he could faintly see a gigantic statue covered in layers of mud, making it impossible to make out its shape, only a few places that revealed the texture of white bones.
A white bone statue.
— — -this statue was about a hundred stories tall.
Strange, why would there be a statue made out of white bones in the River of Time?
Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused, but suddenly felt his hand being gripped tightly.
When he looked up, he saw that Pheasant's petite face was pale, displaying an unprecedented level of nervousness.
"What's the matter?" Gu Qing Shan sent her voice.
"Don't make a sound, I'll take you over there" Pheasant replied.
She lightly hugged Gu Qing Shan in her arms as her body gave off a faint indigo glow and swam even faster.
The two of them silently swam past the white bone statue.
Gu Qing Shan remained cautious, but the entire process was relatively smooth, nothing out of the ordinary happened.
It wasn't until the several-hundred-meter-tall white bone statue could no longer be seen that Pheasant sighed in relief and let go of Gu Qing Shan.
"What was that just now?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I don't know" Pheasant replied.
"Why do you seem so scared?"
"— — -because I grew up in the River of Time, but I've never seen that thing before, that's why I feel scared"
"So that's why" Gu Qing Shan nodded.
Crimson Shadow seemed a bit relieved and continued: "There's one more thing I can tell you. The River of Time we're currently in is actually a Void segment river. There's a Primal Chaos guardian here, so there shouldn't be anything strange here"
Gu Qing Shan understood what she was trying to say and continued: "But if something does appear, like that white bone statue just now …"
"That means it must have some sort of reason to be afraid" Pheasant said.
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought for a bit.
"I think … we might know each other?" he sent his voice.
"I don't think so, this is the first time I've seen you" the girl replied.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit doubtful and muttered: "Why do I feel like you're very familiar?"
The girl didn't answer and simply brought Gu Qing Shan up.
A few moments later.
The two of them stuck their heads out of the river.
"Attention, I'm going to use the [River of Time] technique to open up a safe location for you, you must enter immediately" Pheasant told them.
"Alright, thank you for coming to help me, I really don't know how to thank you" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"We'll talk about it later"
Pheasant lowered his head and silently chanted an incantation.
A mass of fog slowly appeared on the surface of the river, manifesting as a figure of light in front of them.
Seemingly attracted by this figure of light, numerous figures of light floated up from the river, gathered within the fog, and formed a picture.
"Now!" Pheasant shouted.
Gu Qing Shan immediately saw through the time and location of that picture.
At this moment — —
This was exactly what he wanted.
Gu Qing Shan turned around and stared deeply at the girl.
"What do you think? Does this moment suit you?" Pheasant asked.
"It suits me very much, I need to enter now"
"Go quickly"
"… Hm"
Gu Qing Shan tried his best to crash into the image.
At the very next moment — —
He and the image disappeared at the same time.
— — he had entered that moment.
Only the girl Pheasant remained on the River of Time.
She raised her hand and looked at the black thread that had appeared on her arm.
One end of the thread was coiled around her snow-white arm, while the other went into the void of space, pointing straight at where Gu Qing Shan had gone.
"Hmph, it's been so long and it still hasn't stopped, how annoying"
Pheasant laughed self-deprecatingly and put the thread of fate away.
She dove into the river of time and soon disappeared without a trace.
…
The human tomb.
The world of the apes.
— — the picture slowly zoomed in.
Two people were doing the splits together, not moving at all.
One was Gu Qing Shan, the other was the Ice Empress.
— — -no, the Ice Empress had been possessed by the Bronze Lord, and he was currently the Bronze Lord who had rushed here.
The Bronze Lord had arrived just before the Ice Empress died and turned all the Awaitings into cards.
At this moment, he was investigating Gu Qing Shan's background, wanting to turn Gu Qing Shan into one of his cards.
While the two of them were doing the splits — —
Shen Ji opened his eyes from one of the cards, raised his hammer, and shouted: "Karma Severing!"
The hammer struck the void of space, but the Ice Empress uttered a furious roar.
He couldn't hold the card in his hand anymore.
The card with Gu Qing Shan on it was knocked into the air. Everything on it had disappeared without a trace.
— — the card had become blank again.
Fusi's voice resounded in Gu Qing Shan's mind: "Hurry and leave! Use the only path you can take to escape — — - he has lost that card, so he can't find you again "
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit stifled and spoke in a low voice: "Milady, I will definitely return to save you"
As soon as he said so, a dark golden glow appeared around his body.
The Earth God coin appeared in his hand.
At the very next moment.
Gu Qing Shan disappeared and returned to the Earth World.
With his departure, the Spirit Technique [Song and Dance Performer] instantly lost its effect.
The Ice Empress stood up from the ground with a gloomy expression.
"Very well, you Awaitings dared to interfere with my business, seems like I'll have to make you suffer a bit …"
He looked at the handful of Awaitings in his hand and gritted his teeth.
All of a sudden — —
A hand reached out and caught the empty card that was fluttering away.
Gu Qing Shan.
Another Gu Qing Shan fell from the sky!
"My apologies, the Awaitings are my friends, I hope that you can let them go"
He held the card in his hand and spoke sincerely.
— — -boom!
Boundless sword phantoms erupted from his body, illuminating the entire world.
