Chapter 1473 Left Qing’s Answer
“So now, we can’t do anything?” Lin Qiye asked.
“The only thing we can do is to move along the river of time, inch by inch toward the other side of the wall… Although it would take ten thousand years to pass through the wall this way, it’s better than waiting in place. As long as our spatial position remains unchanged, once they break through the wall on their side, we can immediately respond.”
“…That’s all we can do.” The Jade Emperor nodded slightly.
Lingbao Tianzun held his jade ruyi scepter and waved it gently. Streams of primordial energy flowed out, gradually condensing into a boat-shaped vessel that carried everyone aboard.
As Lingbao Tianzun stepped to the front of the boat and formed a hand seal, the primordial vessel began to vibrate violently. Its bow pierced through a ripple in the void, carrying everyone into it!
“Time…”
Wang Mian stood at the edge of the vessel, feeling the constantly undulating ripples of time, and slowly closed his eyes.
Lin Qiye felt his vision blur as the gray essence around them began to recede. An unprecedented mysterious feeling welled up in his heart.
“Young friend Qiye, take a good rest,” Yudding Zhenren stood beside him and said, “This journey may continue for who knows how long, and it’s quite boring… We immortals are used to secluded cultivation, but you might need some time to adjust.”
Lin Qiye smiled bitterly.
His gaze fell on the silhouette of the Daoist figure at the front of the vessel. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked:
“Zhenren, has Lingbao Tianzun… always been so calm? Even though we’re trapped at the end of space-time, he doesn’t seem to show any emotional fluctuation.”
“Naturally. Lingbao Tianzun’s foresight and temperament are beyond our comparison. If not for this, he wouldn’t have begun searching for ways to resolve the great disaster thousands of years ago, nor would he have directly sealed his Dao fruit and entered the thousand-year cycle of true self…”
Yudding Zhenren glanced at that silhouette and continued, “Moreover, before we arrived here, the Tianzun must have already anticipated this situation.”
“What do you mean?”
“The fragment Zeus left behind may be powerful, but it’s one thing to trap us main gods, but do you really think it could confine a Supreme Being? Although Tianzun couldn’t destroy that thing instantly, if he wanted to leave, how could it possibly have drawn him in?”
Lin Qiye was stunned for a while. “You mean, he knew we would be banished to the end of space-time, yet he still came with us? Why?”
“The answer, hasn’t Tianzun already said it?” Yudding Zhenren said calmly. “The only way to leave this place is for two Tianzun to strike the wall simultaneously from both sides. If he didn’t come, wouldn’t we be doomed to die?
He came here not because he couldn’t escape… he came to save us.”
Lin Qiye stared at the Daoist figure, frozen in place.
…
Just as Yudding Zhenren said, this journey was far more tedious than Lin Qiye had imagined.
The primordial vessel traveled through space-time without any reference points to tell him where they were. There was no distinction between day and night, only the eternally unchanging gray everywhere he looked.
Based on his own perception, Lin Qiye roughly estimated the time. From when they began sailing until now, a day and night had probably passed… During this period, the gods of Great Xia were seriously recuperating, motionless like rocks.
In contrast, the human powerhouses were extremely bored.
Lu Wuwei directly opened the seat of his electric scooter and took out an old deck of cards. He started playing Fight the Landlord with Guan Zai and Chen Fuzi at the stern of the vessel. Youli Tangbai sat beside them curiously watching, finding this card game novel and interesting.
Wu Laogou sat with the other [Medium] team members, whispering something and occasionally laughing, looking somewhat neurotic.
Zhou Ping joined the ranks of Great Xia’s gods, sitting cross-legged in the front half of the vessel with furrowed brows. Streams of sword intent flowed from within him, repairing the consumption from the final battle with the gods of the Temple of Gods…
The only ones still standing on the entire primordial vessel, besides Lingbao Tianzun at the very front, was Wang Mian.
Wang Mian stood on the vessel’s flank, eyes tightly closed, his expression alternating between pain, relief, and bewilderment… as if he were having a nightmare.
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment and was about to get up to find him when a hand was placed on his shoulder.
“He’s sensing the laws of time. Don’t disturb him,” said Zuo Qing beside him.
The laws of time?
Lin Qiye looked at Wang Mian in surprise.
Laws were already extremely distant concepts for humans, let alone laws concerning time. This journey with Lingbao Tianzun through the wall of space-time, with time laws permeating their surroundings, was undoubtedly a great opportunity for Wang Mian.
Lin Qiye nodded and sat back down. Then, as if thinking of something:
“Commander Zuo, if we just disappear like this, won’t something happen to Great Xia?”
“Even if we’re gone, Great Xia still has two Tianzun. Olympus has touched Mikael’s reverse scale, so they’ll be lucky just to protect themselves and can’t make any more moves. So Great Xia is still relatively safe.” Zuo Qing paused for a moment. “As for the Nightwatchers, I also left a succession list, so there won’t be any problems.”
“Succession list?”
“It’s a list of personnel to replace my position, originally kept in case I died in battle unexpectedly. I didn’t expect it would be useful in this situation.”
“I see… Who’s on that list?”
“That’s confidential.” Zuo Qing smiled mysteriously. “By the way, your name is also on that list.”
“Me?” Lin Qiye was stunned, then shook his head. “I can’t…”
“Don’t worry, although your strength qualifies, you lack experience in handling Nightwatcher internal affairs, so your position is relatively low… Originally, Bu Li was second in line, but unfortunately he died in battle. Now Shao Pingge should be taking over the Nightwatchers.”
Lin Qiye let out a slight sigh of relief.
“What? You’re that unwilling to be the Commander-in-Chief of the Nightwatchers?” Zuo Qing raised an eyebrow seeing this.
“I’m fine with fighting, but to be the Commander-in-Chief, I can’t bear that burden.” Lin Qiye smiled bitterly.
“No one can shoulder everything from the beginning. When Commander Ye passed away, I didn’t understand anything either… But sometimes, circumstances don’t give people a choice.” Zuo Qing looked up at the endless gray and said slowly, “Once pushed into that position, pressure will make one grow quickly.”
Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, then spoke again:
“Commander Zuo, there’s one more thing…”
“You want to ask why we left you on the National Fate Island?” Zuo Qing saw through Lin Qiye’s thoughts.
“Yes.” Lin Qiye nodded solemnly. “For this matter alone, please give me an answer.”
Seeing his serious expression, Zuo Qing sighed helplessly.
“Fine, since you’re the captain of [Nightfall], there are some things you should know…
We left you on the National Fate Island because of An Qingyu.”
