Different Time Flows

Just as Kaisha and Hexi were discussing how to reach Earth Star without being discovered.

At that moment, Jiang Zhen was looking at the Chat Group, a look of surprise in his eyes.

The Chat Group was currently buzzing with activity.

Moonlit Bird Walker: "Holy crap! Something's happened! Big trouble! My grandpa's grave got dug up!"

Lotus Tower Master: "What's the situation? Is your family rich?"

Moonlit Bird Walker: "Rich my ass! If my family was rich, would I be working a job and an orphan?"

Maoshan Daoist: "@Moonlit Bird Walker, what Li Lianhua said makes sense. Your family isn't rich, so why dig up your grandpa's grave?"

Lord of Tushan: "Yeah, your family doesn't have anything worth stealing."

Village Dance King: "Could it be a case of mistaken identity?"

Moonlit Bird Walker: "No! I heard that whole area back in my hometown got dug up. I'm on my way back now."

Watching the conversation in the Chat Group, Jiang Zhen stroked his chin and muttered to himself:

"Lord of Tushan... this Lord of Tushan, could it be the Tushan from Fox Demon? After all, there are plenty of 'Lords of Tushan,' but not many who'd state it so plainly.

I just don't know if it's Hong Hong of Tushan or Ya Ya of Tushan.

As for this Village Dance King... that one's hard to pin down! That guy wouldn't be a dancer, would he?"

Just as Jiang Zhen was pondering, it seemed something suddenly struck him. His eyes instantly landed on that sentence from Zhang Chulan.

"Zhang Chulan's grandfather's grave was robbed."

The moment he saw this, his eyes lit up. But then he immediately said:

"Wait! How is this so fast? Logically speaking, Zhang Chulan should still have at least a year or so.

Could it be... that a year has passed in that time? No, that's not right. There's a problem. The flow of time is very off."

Thinking this, Jiang Zhen also spoke up in the group.

Pangu Clansman: "@Moonlit Bird Walker, what's your situation? How much time has passed on your end since we last met?"

Moonlit Bird Walker: "Holy crap! Big shot, you're finally out! It's been over a year! You finally showed up!"

Maoshan Daoist: "Caught a big shot!"

Lotus Tower Master: "Big shot's seclusion is over!"

Lord of Tushan: "???"

Village Dance King: "???"

Pangu Clansman: "Alright, stop messing around. Zhang Chulan, I have some things I want to ask. Has it been almost a year on your end?"

Moonlit Bird Walker: "Yeah! The people in this group are way too inactive. Ten days or half a month go by without anyone saying a word!"

Maoshan Daoist: "That's not right. It's been over a year on my end!"

Lotus Tower Master: "Two years?"

Lord of Tushan: "Uh... what are you all talking about?"

Pangu Clansman: "Trouble. The flow of time is different. Each of our worlds has a different time flow.

But wait a moment. Let me ask about this first. This kind of thing is a bit troublesome!"

"Little Sprite, what exactly is going on?"

Little Sprite: "Host, this is because we are currently fully searching for other Chat Group systems.

So we haven't adjusted the Chat Group's time. As for this time, you can manually adjust it yourself.

You can set the time to synchronization. That way, you won't have situations where ten days, half a month, or even several years go by before a single sentence appears."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhen said with a helpless look:

"So that's it. Why didn't you say so earlier! Fine, I'll go deal with it. You go ahead with your business!"

Then, Jiang Zhen immediately explained everything to the group.

For a moment, the entire group erupted.

Moonlit Bird Walker: "Holy crap! No wonder! I was wondering why this Chat Group was so weird!"

Maoshan Daoist: "Adjusted!"

Lotus Tower Master: "Adjusted!"

Lord of Tushan: "Adjusted!"

Seeing that messages were no longer popping up only after long intervals, Jiang Zhen nodded in satisfaction. Then, he also tweaked a few of his own settings.

Jiang Zhen muttered to himself: "That's more like it!"

Then, Jiang Zhen directly said in the group:

"Oh, right, Chulan. Remember what I said before? Your big show is about to begin!"

On the drive back, staring at the messages in the chat group, Zhang Chulan felt a slight jolt in his heart and thought to himself, "Brother Jiang said before that my grandpa caused a huge mess with something he came up with back then.

Could it be that this time, the body being stolen... is because of that?"

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Zhang Chulan's heart filled with a strange, unsettling feeling.

Moonlit Bird Walker: "Big bro, do you know something?"

Looking at the message above, Jiang Zhen thought for a moment, then said:

"I do know a bit. Your old man, back in the day, was formidable. He swore brotherhood with some freaks from your side.

In the end, somehow, he figured out something called the Eight Wonders. Out of the Thirty-Six People who swore brotherhood, only eight comprehended eight different techniques.

They were incredibly powerful, each with some kind of ultimate property.

Then, in the Otherworldly Human World over on your side, it stirred up a massive storm. The Thirty-Six People were hunted down—some died, some fled, some were captured.

Some families were even wiped out entirely. The casualties were countless.

At the time, it was called the 'Jiashen Rebellion.'

And those eight wonders were the root of the chaos. Now that your grandpa's corpse has been dug up, it probably means the turmoil is about to start again.

In short, you need to be careful from now on. By now, you've probably become a juicy target for a lot of people.

Right now, you only have three options.

First—use overwhelming strength to forcefully break the deadlock.

I don't know if your current strength is enough, but if you had the power of Old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei from Longhu Mountain, you could walk all over anyone!

Second—go to Longhu Mountain. Your grandpa came from there and had a deep connection with the Old Celestial Master.

If you go, the Old Celestial Master will definitely treat you as a personal disciple.

As long as the Old Celestial Master is still alive, as long as you stay on Longhu Mountain, no one will dare touch you!

Of course, the third method isn't hard either—just don't go back.

Or, if someone comes looking for trouble, call the police directly.

That way, no matter who it is, they won't dare act rashly. And as long as you don't show your strength, they can't do anything to you."

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan, sitting in the car, fell silent for a long time.

Moonlit Bird Walker: "Brother Jiang, was my grandpa's death related to this too?"

Pangu Clansman: "Yes! Your grandpa comprehended one of the Eight Wonders—Qi Body Origin Flow. And on top of that, he arrogantly called it: the End of All Techniques.

Mm... from what I know, the reason your grandpa didn't dare return to Longhu Mountain was probably because he was afraid—or didn't dare face the current Old Celestial Master!"

"Why?"

"Heh. That Old Celestial Master was the absolute top dog of his generation.

From the very start, he dominated the entire Otherworldly Human World with overwhelming force.

Then, with one slap, he broke the Reverse Life Triple of a current Ten Elder-ranked family head from your side.

And that slap? It made the guy cry.

After that, he swept through everything, crushed everyone, undefeated.

Finally, the previous generation Celestial Master, trying to take him down a notch, secretly taught your grandpa the Yang Five Thunders and personally trained him for a long time.

In the end, they fought—but it didn't cause the Old Celestial Master any trouble. It was still a one-sided beatdown.

And your grandpa, because of that, became dead set on defeating the Old Celestial Master. So he went down the mountain to train, and eventually came up with this so-called Qi Body Origin Flow.

But he never dared to go back. Probably still scared of that Old Celestial Master's slap!"

Zhang Chulan...
