Come, Let's Play for Keeps!

Everything unfolded exactly as predicted.

"The Mountain River Society and Country Diagram's is ultimately a fictionalized version of reality—though everything depicted in it will eventually come true in reality."

"But fiction is fiction."

A gigantic head emerged from the river of time—or rather, a false, fictitious river of time.

Although it is false and fictional, it is indistinguishable from the real flow of time, as it is a reconstruction by Zhang Fusheng based on his own observations.

As expected, it was recognized as 'reality' by the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram.

"You simply don't have the ability to wield that treasure."

Under the horrified gaze of the man in black robes, the enormous head that had emerged from the depths of time spoke in a low voice:

"You have only rudimentarily activated the [Mountain River Society and Country Diagram], therefore, you are by no means the only one capable of influencing this Supreme Treasure."

The rumbling sound echoed across the illusory river of time.

The man in black robes felt as if his breath was about to stop; his divine sense and spiritual will wanted to withdraw and escape.

But it's simply impossible!!

Just like the illusory Jiangzhou City he constructed using the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram, it was completely under his control.

Zhang Fusheng forcibly borrowed the river of time constructed by the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram, and thus it was completely under His control.

Time may shackle us, but how can the Soul Spirit and will ever escape its constraints?

"This is Supreme Treasure!"

Zhang Fusheng's gaze was intensely intense, his eyes swirling with chaotic energy, within which floated two enormous Great Sun Golden Lamp.

It can fabricate reality, even time itself, and perfectly evolve it, thus making the fictional things come true!

What if the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram were in my possession?

"Doesn't this mean that even if I am just a Venerable One, a Great Power, or Fuli True Person Fruit Status, I can still do some of the things that only Daluo Immortals or even Supreme Beings can do?"

"Manipulating, rewriting, and compiling history."

Zhang Fusheng's smile grew even brighter; he was determined to obtain this Supreme Treasure.

The capital city was a must-visit.

"As for now."

Zhang Fusheng stared at the man in black robes and spoke indifferently:

"Killing you would only destroy this wisp of your spirit; it would be of no use to me."

"However, this wisp of your consciousness is crucial to maintaining this fictional reality, so you cannot die yet."

He no longer paid attention to the black-robed man in fear and confusion, but manipulated the reality and the river of time fabricated by the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram.

I am once again immersed in a certain part of the past.

"Since this little fellow hasn't truly taken control of the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram, and since I can indeed interfere with it in reverse..."

"Then, wouldn't the illusory reality I create also come true?"

Zhang Fusheng muttered to himself, manipulating illusory time, going back nearly nineteen years.

It was at a hospital.

"It's born! It's born!"

Zhang Wentao slapped his thigh excitedly and immediately inquired about his wife's condition.

The frail Zhou Guifang gazed tenderly at the wailing child.

Everything suddenly froze.

Zhang Fusheng's figure slowly emerged from the void. After a moment of contemplation, he made a decision.

"Many forms of empowerment are like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, but what if it's a seed?"

"That's completely different."

Talking to himself,

Zhang Fusheng reached out and stroked the peaches, and three peaches appeared.

"Cultivation at the Venerable level is about refining a blessed land or a Buddhist kingdom, while at the Great Power level it's about [planting medicine]."

Just like the Ginseng Fruit planted in the heart of the Miss Mingyue,

The realm of great power involves planting celestial medicines in one's essence, Essence, Qi, and Spirit, spirit, and the Ancestral Aperture the eyebrows, using the abundance of these celestial medicines to nourish oneself.

This is not the most orthodox or original form of Divine Path practice, but times are changing.

The original level of great power was similar to that of Celestial Person, but Celestial Person are subject to decline and calamity.

Great beings are constantly experiencing calamities, with a new calamity every five hundred years and a major disaster every thousand years, repeating this cycle until they break through their current realm or perish.

The method of cultivating medicinal herbs is a way to transfer calamities, and it is one of the few cultivation methods that is "better now than in the past".

In the stillness,

Zhang Fusheng reached out and quietly peeled open the foreheads of his father, mother, and infant, planting three peaches of immortality in the Ancestral Aperture of each of them.

It was planted in the 'heart field' corresponding to the Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and spirit.

Then,

The three people's Ancestral Aperture their eyebrows and their hearts were glowing, and a phantom field was reflected in their chests, on which a peach was buried.

"Nearly nineteen years of nurturing, and then it all came true in one day."

Zhang Fusheng muttered to himself, thinking it wasn't enough. Transforming into Great Spirit was just around the corner, and he himself would break through to a higher level in three to five months at most.

In a short time, with the help of Contract Book, it can even be done in just half a month.

"The level of great power is merely an extension of the Venerable One; ultimately, it still belongs to the realm of True Person Fruit Position."

"Continue."

He closed his eyes and pondered, his thoughts connecting with the mutated Peach Tree of Immortality he had planted in the divine realm.

The withered branches swayed, the blood- Peach Tree of Immortality that had once easily pierced and killed him.

Now, nothing can stir up the slightest ripple in front of Zhang Fusheng.

"Open."

He tore open the Peach Tree of Immortality, etching his fundamental spiritual imprint into its heart.

The branches swayed wildly, and the blood-red peaches hanging from the branches throbbed violently.

But soon, the Peach Tree of Immortality fell silent and became incredibly docile.

After picking the blood peach, which was clearly the source of the mutation, Zhang Fusheng transplanted the entire tree and planted it between the baby's eyebrows.

"Not enough, not enough!"

Zhang Fusheng took a deep breath. A small peach, a mutated Peach Tree of Immortality...

Although it can greatly reduce the time spent after breaking through to the Great Power level,

But this is only 'relatively speaking'.

He wasn't sure if the elixir planted in his Ancestral Aperture between his eyebrows would accelerate his cultivation along with the cultivation time granted by the Contract Book.

The safest approach is to find some more.

Find more.

He thought of the Ginseng Fruit in the heart of the Miss Mingyue.

"Since this is a fictional reality, a fictional river of time..."

"Then, I can forcibly kill Miss Mingyue and take away the Ginseng Fruit from her heart."

"Then, within this illusory river of time, we will alter the past and erase this Timeline."

"Once the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram' completes this evolution and transforms the illusion into reality, the real Miss Mingyue will no longer be affected."

Zhang Fusheng was still somewhat hesitant.

This is only theoretically feasible, but what if something unexpected happens?

Why did the Miss Mingyue die such a tragic death for no reason?

I can't live with myself on that level of conscience.

After a moment of contemplation,

Zhang Fusheng once again peeked out from the fictional river of time, under the horrified gaze of the black-robed man who was still bound.

He gazed at the palace upstream of the illusory river, and at the figure sitting cross-legged within it.

"Fellow Daoist!"

Zhang Fusheng asked a question.

One second, two seconds.

After a brief silence, the creature that was clearly a figment of imagination actually opened its eyes and looked down at you with a smile.

Really.

The Supreme Beings in the painting can wink and smile at you; the Supreme Beings in the fictional time depicted in the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram are...

How could it not be truly supreme?

Such a person has long transcended the constraints of all common sense.

"Fellow Daoist Fusheng."

The creatures upstream nodded gently, their smiles beaming.

"This is... Empress Nüwa Nuwa's Mountain River Society and Country Diagram?"

He glanced around and raised an eyebrow slightly:

"Fellow Daoist Fusheng, you mustn't try to create other fellow Daoists within this Mountain River Society and Country Diagram."

"Once constructed, even if it is illusory, it is equivalent to the real body."

Zhang Fusheng thought to himself, "Dao Fruit," and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Rest assured, Jade Emperor, I am naturally aware of this. I have summoned you today solely to ask one question."

He recounted his guesses.

The creatures upstream listened quietly, then nodded:

"Fellow Daoist Fusheng's deduction is correct. With the help of the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram, beings below the Daluo level can also possess some Daluo characteristics."

"It is certainly possible to tamper with time and history."

"But."

After a pause, the being sitting upright in the flow of time said with great interest:

"Fellow Daoist, are you seeking the elixir of immortality?"

Zhang Fusheng simply nodded:

"For those who cultivate to great heights, elixirs are key."

The creature upstream nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said calmly:

"In that case, I will once again forge a good karmic connection with Fellow Daoist Fusheng."

As soon as he finished speaking, He reached out and pushed and sent him on his way.

A luminous object, having traveled from time immemorial across countless ages, hovered silently in front of Zhang Fusheng.

It was a half-broken, charred willow branch.

"This is?"

Zhang Fusheng had a guess in his mind, but he still asked the question.

The creature upstream said calmly:

"The Innate Willow Branch in Guanyin's Jade Bottle is no ordinary willow branch; even beings at the Daluo level cherish it greatly."

Zhang Fusheng swallowed hard, but didn't ask how the willow branch ended up in the Jade Emperor's hands.

He bowed respectfully and accepted the broken Innate Willow Branch, but when he looked up, he saw a second object drifting towards him.

"The Breath of Earth."

The creature upstream spoke succinctly, coughing slightly and looking somewhat listless, before waving its hand and falling silent.

Clearly, even within the fictional reality of the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram, interfering with the current juncture has resulted in a backlash against Him.

As for where the backlash comes from...

Zhang Fusheng didn't know.

He simply held up the Innate Willow Branch and the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, then bowed to the silent beings upstream.

Then, she resolutely stepped into another period of time.

That was six months ago.

This was when Miss Mingyue first arrived in Jiangzhou City.

At that time, the Flesh and Blood Plague had already begun to spread, but without the intervention of the Investigation Bureau, it was only currently spreading in the Lower-Level District.

The God of Plague has not Divine Descent, and Jiangzhou has not yet been destroyed.

"Should I stop Old Niu now, and wait until the illusory 'Mountain River Society and Country Diagram' is refined into reality?"

"Will the intact Jiangzhou City and its millions of inhabitants come back to life?"

"And it won't change the course of history."

Zhang Fusheng was dazzled and captivated; it really was true!

The transformation of the abstract into the concrete in the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram will not interfere with the past of reality.

In reality, Jiangzhou was indeed destroyed, yet it has remained intact!

"My darling, my darling!"

Zhang Fusheng was increasingly astonished by the terrifying nature of the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram.

Is this the ultimate Supreme Treasure at the level of the Supreme Beings?

If the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram is like this, then what about the Chaos Bell, the Qingping Sword, the Four Immortal Slaying Swords, and the Taiji Diagram?

After calming himself, Zhang Fusheng quickly located Miss Mingyue's whereabouts, and then--

Fall!

At this very moment.

A thunderclap shook Jiangzhou City.

In the Ninth District, behind the Chaimen, a woman with a red dot between her brows, resembling a beauty from a painting, suddenly looked up.

Her intuition was screaming, a terrible premonition rising in her heart, and she cried out:

"Who are you, fellow Daoist?!"

There was only light in the sky, only a continuous expanse of chaotic light.

Accompanying the chaotic light was the [Pangu Banner], the rotation of the celestial stars, and the heavens' murderous intent!

Even a powerful being like the Miss Mingyue couldn't offer any resistance.

She certainly had the ability to kill Zhang Fusheng instantly,

But similarly,

Zhang Fusheng, who wields 40% of the Sword Dao and the killing moves of the Pangu Banner, is also capable of instantly killing a powerful figure in the event of an attack!

Then.

'Boom!!'

The entire Heaven and Earth of Jiangzhou, and even the entire Golden Realm, trembled at this moment. The Heaven and Earth of Jiangzhou stood up, transforming into a long sword.

The sword fell again.

Along with the Heaven-Opening Sword Qi and Chaos Sword Light emitted by the Pangu Banner, they all nailed down!

The elegant woman was pierced by a nail.

His physical body cracked, his divine sense dissipated, and his Ancestral Aperture between his eyebrows was forcibly opened!

She struggled, but was firmly pinned down by the Heaven-Opening Sword Qi and unable to break free.

He could only gasp and gaze at the figure that emerged from the void, shrouded in the [Primordial Auspicious Cloud].

"Who are you?"

"Feel sorry."

The newcomer spoke in a hoarse voice and reached out to grab him.

The Ginseng Fruit planted in the Ancestral Aperture the eyebrows, planted in the 'heart field,' was thus pulled out by Zhang Fusheng.

The Miss Mingyue let out a mournful cry, her Essence, Qi, and Spirit began to completely dissipate, and she died.

Zhang Fusheng couldn't bear to see this scene.

Before the Miss Mingyue completely perished, she had already returned to the river of time, subtly altering the past.

The Timeline sinks to the bottom of the river, and a new history emerges on the top layer.

The Miss Mingyue never died.

Zhang Fusheng let out a sigh of relief, and with Zhu Bao, he returned to nineteen years ago, back to the hospital.

Everything remained frozen in time.

He gently peeled back the baby's brow and spread the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil into the baby's 'heart field'.

Then they planted Ginseng Fruit and Innate Willow Branch separately.

Thus, everything was accomplished.

As for Jiangzhou...

Zhang Fusheng remained silent for a moment, then finally made up his mind, and an even more outrageous idea popped into his head.

"I wonder when I'll be able to see the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram's again."

"Give me a big one!"
