Chapter 1587 Figures in the River of Time
“Cough cough cough…”
In the ruins of the Heavenly Court, a figure shrouded in a black cloak grabbed the heavy remains of the palace wall and lifted it away.
Left Qing’s violent coughing sound rang out as he grabbed the wrist of a [Medium] squad member and gradually stood up from the pool of blood.
“Are you alright?”
Wu Laogou, being carried on the back of another [Medium] squad member, weakly asked from the side.
“…Not dead yet.” Left Qing supported himself with a broken piece of wood, breathing heavily. His left leg was somewhat deformed, probably broken during the recent battle with [Chaos].
His gaze swept across the surroundings, where several [Medium] squad members were scattered throughout the Heavenly Court, rescuing human elites and Great Xia gods from the ruins.
“This time, we owe you our thanks.” Left Qing said bitterly.
“Not me, it’s their achievement.” Wu Laogou’s gaze swept over those figures shrouded in cloaks. “They have no life, they don’t get injured, they don’t feel pain… only they could save us in this situation.”
Left Qing nodded, “Lin Qiye’s soul just floated down, have you found it?”
“Still looking, but it should be somewhere in the Heavenly Court.”
“What about Wang Mian?”
“He’s already awake, over there.”
Wu Laogou looked in a certain direction. Left Qing grunted in acknowledgment and used the broken wood to support himself as he slowly moved toward that location.
In a pit filled with rubble, a gray, white-haired figure was weakly sitting on a huge rock. A cloud of blood mist burst from his body, then flowed back inside as time reversed.
He seemed to notice Left Qing approaching and turned to look.
“Are your injuries serious?” Left Qing asked.
“It’s fine, just flesh wounds… I’m just tired, nothing major.” Wang Mian hoarsely coughed twice, then continued, “Should I go back now?”
Left Qing was silent for a moment, then grunted in agreement.
“[Chaos] has descended, the Heavenly Court is destroyed, the gods are injured, An Qingyu has defected, and [Black Goat] has probably failed as well… The consequences this time are too severe, we must change history.”
“Alright.” Wang Mian didn’t hesitate at all. “From which point in time?”
“From when Lin Qiye and the others returned, before the Zhurong Sword Formation was activated… No, from before An Qingyu disappeared and Jiang Er died, that is, his last night in the Heavenly Court.
Go warn the past Great Xia gods and me to guard An Qingyu closely, implement the sealing plan early, and also… imprison Lin Qiye.”
Left Qing thought for a moment before giving his answer.
“Fine, I’ll leave right away.”
Wang Mian’s hunched body slowly stood up. His eyes closed briefly, then reopened to reveal a pair of time rings, head to tail, beginning to rotate in his eyes.
The aura of the Time Law surged forth!
Strands of silver-white hair fell from his head, and Wang Mian’s face gained several more deep wrinkles. Simultaneously, time behind him began to violently distort!
A silver-white light flashed, instantly engulfing Wang Mian’s form.
Wang Mian felt his vision blur, and he found himself above the river of time. His feet stood on a small boat as all the events that had just occurred flowed past him like water!
An Qingyu killing Cao Yuan, [Chaos] escaping the Heavenly Court, Lin Qiye’s soul form emerging from the giant eye, An Qingyu awakening before the Gate of Truth, [Chaos] fighting the Great Xia gods alone, Lin Qiye fainting, the three [Nightfall] members climbing the stone steps…
Time flowed backward in Wang Mian’s aged eyes as he stared intently at the forefront of the time river, seemingly searching for something.
This time reversal was less than two days, consuming much less of his lifespan compared to the previous time when he crossed over a year. But Wang Mian knew clearly that the importance of the history he was about to change far exceeded the last time.
If he succeeded, the [Key to the Door] would be eternally sealed, [Black Goat] would die at the hands of the three Heavenly Sovereigns, [Chaos] would be imprisoned along with Lin Qiye until being erased… The history he was about to change would directly affect the entire Heavenly Court, the three Pillar Gods of the K system, and even the fate of the entire world!
Although the time reversal was short, the causal force he carried would reach an extremely terrifying level.
This time, Wang Mian was prepared to exhaust his lifespan completely.
Finally, Wang Mian’s gaze locked onto a certain point in the river of time. In that timeline, An Qingyu and Jiang Er were still chatting late at night in the Heavenly Court, before anything had happened.
Wang Mian took a deep breath, and the small boat beneath his feet floated directly toward that end of the time river.
However, just as he was about to arrive, a black figure slowly emerged from an earlier point in the time river.
“You?!” Wang Mian’s eyes slightly contracted when he saw that person.
In the hazy mist, An Qingyu, wearing a black robe, stood ghost-like in front of the small boat. Under his wide hood, a pair of eyes rolling with gray intent stared indifferently at Wang Mian.
He had a scar on his temple, and his entire demeanor was indescribably cold.
“You’re not the An Qingyu from just now…” Wang Mian narrowed his eyes, clearly feeling that the demeanor of this An Qingyu was completely different from the one who had just left.
An Qingyu glanced at the time river beneath him and spoke calmly:
“Go back.”
“What?” Wang Mian was stunned.
“You can’t touch my timeline.” An Qingyu slowly raised his palm, and the quietly flowing time river beneath his feet suddenly became turbulent. Surging waves and whirlpools appeared in front of Wang Mian’s small boat!
Seeing this, Wang Mian’s pupils contracted slightly. Although his [Time Sequence Rioter] could reverse time and change history, with his current level, he couldn’t directly control such a vast river of time… If it were Chronos, it might be possible.
“An Qingyu, don’t you want to save Jiang Er anymore?!” Wang Mian frowned and shouted.
“I will save her, but not in this way…” An Qingyu’s voice was perfectly calm. “I’ve warned you, don’t try to change my timeline. Next time, I will personally bury you in time.”
An Qingyu waved his hand, and a terrifying pressure suddenly descended. The time river beneath Wang Mian’s feet surged like a tsunami, carrying his body rapidly backward!
Wang Mian tried to stabilize himself, but had no resistance against An Qingyu’s power. The small boat beneath him was shattered by the water, and a whirlpool emerged under his feet, instantly swallowing his body.
At that moment, An Qingyu at the other end of the time river flicked his finger.
A white chess piece crossed the river of time, collided with Wang Mian’s body, and disappeared without a trace along with the rushing time.
