Qin Mu looked at Mountain Lord as time began to rapidly rewind.
Scene after scene reversed, from Mountain Lord being hunted by the Tiankun Kingdom Lord to his sect's destruction. Qin Mu freely controlled time, accelerating its retreat.
As the Lord of the Source World, controlling everything within the Source World was as easy as eating and drinking.
The entire Source World was part of his body.
"It was them! Senior Sister! Everyone, it was here!"
Mountain Lord's eyes reddened.
Long ago, he had merely been a member of a tribe on the Origin Continent. By a stroke of luck, he had been accepted into an artifact-refining sect.
Within the sect, he and his senior sister fell in love, and he took her as his wife.
He rose step by step, displaying unparalleled talent in artifact refinement. With the sect behind him, he eventually founded Jin Country upon its foundation and became King Jin.
Those had been his happiest days.
He had a beloved wife, powerful and loyal subjects, and stood at the very pinnacle. How wonderful had that been?
Unfortunately!
All of it had been destroyed by the Food Kingdom.
His wife, his subjects, and his sworn brothers had all perished!
He too had been hunted down, barely escaping death before finally fleeing into the Universe Sea.
He had thought that vengeance would be impossible for the rest of his life. Yet who could have expected him to encounter Qin Mu in the Original Universe, along with that utterly heaven-defying Swarm?
Back then, he had not truly believed Qin Mu's claim that the dead could be revived.
He had merely instinctively clung to the last straw. Yet he had never expected that a hope from so many years ago would become reality today.
"Freeze!" Qin Mu willed it.
