The Source of the Time River (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Fukua)
Jiang Li returned through the rift, which sealed itself automatically.
"The Black Tide has disappeared, but the Destruction Rule remains."
Jiang Li knew that unless someone became a second Tai Chu and rewrote the rules, the Destruction Rule would always exist.
The Destruction Rule was unpredictable. It might emerge anywhere and evolve once more into a Black Tide that swept across the world.
But this was good as well. With the Destruction Rule present, it was like a sword hanging over the world's head at every moment. If they wanted to keep that sword from falling, they could only continue establishing order.
Jiang Li had not told anyone about eliminating the Black Tide in the Possibility Convergence Land for this reason as well.
Establishing order could not be accomplished overnight. The slightest slackening would bring the collapse of order and force them to start all over again. The price of that would be countless lives.
Emperor Shun nodded, understanding Jiang Li's intent. "That is good too."
"What a pity. It turns out the Primal Beginning Seal alone could resolve the Black Tide. I even studied the True Self Seal as insurance. Looks like there is no need for it."
The Taiyi Seal, the Primal Beginning Seal, and the True Self Seal—these were the three seals Jiang Li had researched.
Emperor Shun dared not imagine it. The Taiyi Seal could annihilate the Heavenly Dao, and the Primal Beginning Seal could erase the Black Tide. What sort of power, then, did the True Self Seal possess?
"Would Emperor Shun like to try it?"
Emperor Shun shook his head hard. With his old arms and legs, he could not withstand such torment.
"Is the Human Emperor returning to the Nine Provinces?"
