"Bang!"
A ball of raging fire entered the river of time, and in an instant, the river of time reflected a blaze of light, its aura scorching.
Yet, strangely, no one felt discomfort; instead, their minds became clearer, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun, dissolving the doubts in their hearts.
"What is that?"
At that moment, the river of time underwent a change.
Before the eyes of all living beings, a section of the river of time appeared from the void and slowly merged into the upper reaches of the river.
The surging river of time became even more magnificent.
"The river of time has become longer?"
They were shocked.
Time was already a difficult concept to grasp, and the river of time was immeasurable, yet now it had become longer.
Why was this?
Some Immortal Emperor-level experts wanted to go against the current, but they were afraid of provoking heaven-defying karma and hesitated.
On Gu Changsheng's side, they personally witnessed the Ancestor of Fire sacrificing himself and merging into the river of time, and they were filled with emotion.
"Ancestor of Fire is a person worth befriending," Gu Changsheng said.
"Indeed!"
Hou Tu nodded.
She knew better than anyone what kind of person the Ancestor of Fire was.
In the desolate lands of her era, even though the three peak races fought each other, Hou Tu greatly admired the Ancestor of Fire.
Although the Ancestor of Fire was one of the nine human ancestors of the Celestial Race, his ambition and his path were not limited to the Celestial Race.
"It is regrettable to hear of him but not be able to meet him.
But since that's the case, then I will lend you a hand," Gu Changsheng said.
Hearing this, the others' eyes lit up.
Gu Changsheng raised a finger towards the high heavens, and then all the beings in the land seemed to hear a "bang," like the sound of some kind of shackle being broken.
The creatures of the land immediately felt incredibly relaxed, as if they had shed invisible shackles.
"I...I've broken through!"
Some creatures who had been stuck at the Supreme Realm for many years suddenly had an epiphany and entered the Immortal Realm.
"Rumble!"
Some True Immortals advanced to Immortal Kings, Immortal Kings became Immortal Exalts, and Immortal Exalts reached the peak of the Immortal Dao, becoming Immortal Emperors.
However, no Immortal Emperor broke through to become a Dao Breaker.
After all, becoming a Dao Breaker could not be achieved overnight.
But in just a few breaths, the overall strength of the desolate land had improved by several levels.
All of this was because Gu Changsheng's finger broke the Celestial God Ancestor's blockade of the desolate land.
"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist!"
A faint wisp of the Ancestor of Fire's will came from the river of time.
It also wanted to break the Celestial God Ancestor's seal, but unfortunately, it did not have enough strength.
"Old friend, I'm here!"
As this wisp of will disappeared, the firelight of the river of time dissipated, and the Ancestor of Fire completely disappeared.
"Senior!"
God Eyes and Ye Jin shouted loudly, but they received no response.
"Wuwuwu..."
On this day, a great rain fell in the desolate land, unseen for countless ages, sweeping across the entire land.
All living beings couldn't help but have a thought in their hearts.
The heavens are weeping!
This heaven was not the Celestial God Ancestor, but the Dao of the desolate land.
"Farewell, Senior!"
God Eyes and Ye Jin bowed respectfully.
"Farewell, Senior!"
Ling Tian did the same.
Hou Tu's expression was slightly complicated.
She took Gu Changsheng's wine pot and poured it out three times in the void.
"Now, I'm the only old woman left from that era," Hou Tu said mockingly.
"You're not an old woman, you're my wife," Gu Changsheng comforted her.
"Sweet talker!"
Hou Tu rolled her eyes at him.
This guy was actually learning to say sweet words, but these sweet words always felt a bit corny.
However, after hearing Gu Changsheng's corny sweet talk, Hou Tu's mood was obviously much better.
Gu Changsheng patted Ling Tian on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave the rest to you."
"Yes, Master!"
Ling Tian nodded.
Destroying the Divine Court and severing faith were only the first steps.
Next was to integrate the power of the land.
And to integrate the power of the land, he needed to pacify two places.
One was the Western Demon Abyss, and the other was the Northern Chaotic Domain.
With Ling Tian's strength, pacifying these two areas was not difficult.
What was difficult was that he had to complete a feat that no living being in the land had ever accomplished, which was to unify the land.
Back then, the three peak races jointly ruled the land, and Hou Tu, this strong woman, was一心 (yī xīn - wholeheartedly) thinking of making the Ancient God Race the sole overlord of the land.
However, at that time, the Celestial Race and the Celestial Demon Race were not weaker than the Ancient God Race, and with the sudden attack from the Central God Realm, Hou Tu's dream of becoming the overlord was shattered.
But Hou Tu now had no interest in unifying the land.
The people and things of her era were all gone.
Her only attachment to the land was to seek revenge.
The feat of unifying the land would be left to the younger generation, Ling Tian.
As for whether Ling Tian could complete it, Gu Changsheng and Hou Tu had no doubts.
Ling Tian was the child of destiny of the land.
If he couldn't complete it, then it was even more impossible for other living beings in the land to complete it.
"Master will deal with the Celestial God Ancestor.
As for the Central God Realm, that will be up to you," Gu Changsheng said.
"Disciple understands!"
Ling Tian nodded.
Although he really wanted to personally suppress the Celestial God Ancestor, he knew his limits.
The time he would need to reach the Celestial God Ancestor's realm was not as simple as millions or several million years, but in units of billions.
From the beginning of his cultivation until he became an Immortal Emperor, he had not encountered any bottlenecks.
But since he advanced to Dao Breaker, he felt that it was not so easy for him to break through to the next step.
Moreover, the Celestial God Ancestor had an irreconcilable feud with his Master Hou Tu, so it was definitely not his turn to deal with the Celestial God Ancestor.
"Master, Master, take care!"
Ling Tian knelt in the void.
Gu Changsheng and Hou Tu nodded lightly, and then Gu Changsheng waved his hand, tearing apart the barrier between the desolate land and the Central God Realm, and entered the Central God Realm with Hou Tu's hand in his.
Seeing this, God Eyes and Ye Jin walked to Ling Tian's front, and Ye Jin said, "Don't let His Majesty down!"
"I won't!"
Ling Tian said seriously.
"That's good...Oh right, find a partner when you have time.
As the saying goes, men and women work together, work is easier...Hey, Brother, I haven't finished speaking yet..."
God Eyes dragged Ye Jin into the passage with a dark face.
This guy was not afraid of teaching His Majesty's disciple badly.
Ling Tian looked at the gradually healing space channel and muttered, "Men and women work together, work is easier, these words seem to make a lot of sense..."
Inside the channel, Ye Jin heard Ling Tian's words and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "A promising child, a promising child!"
"Teach you my ass!"
God Eyes glared at him angrily.
"Brother, it's fine if you're single, but you can't let Ling Tian be single too, can you?"
"..." God Eyes.
"Let's go!"
God Eyes spat out this word with a dark face.
...
