Reality Upheaval, the Limits of a Venerable
Excitement shone on Zhang Fusheng's face as he pondered the passing years, moving forward, forward, and forward still!
Ten years, fifty years, one hundred years.
Until 784 years ago, until the day before Jiangzhou City began construction.
Barren.
All that could be seen was desolation.
Construction has not yet begun on this land; not a single brick or tile remains.
"Go."
Zhang Fusheng spoke softly, his Ancestral Aperture between his eyebrows opened wide, the Wheel of All Daos, and his vast and boundless spiritual will surged forth!
He is refining it.
He was quietly and forcibly refining the entire Heaven and Earth of Jiangzhou.
It's done.
Heaven and Earth of Jiangzhou became a 'part' of him.
"Sow today, reap tomorrow."
Zhang Fusheng muttered to himself, using the [Shift Stars] technique to alter the heavenly secrets and conceal the fact that Jiangzhou had been refined.
Then, time continued to flow forward.
He traveled back 784 years, to a few days before the Old Niu Divine Descent.
Zhang Fusheng raised his head, flipped his palm over, and then covered it again.
One after another, the Investigation Bureau's spaceships, which were en route but had not yet arrived, were blown to pieces. The Flesh and Blood Plague that had already spread in the city was forcibly taken away and eradicated by him.
The entire city fell into a deathly silence and a state of bewilderment.
"Who is that?"
In the city, the Miss Mingyue stood on the land of the Ninth District, gazing at the majestic figure in the sky.
It was unclear, impossible to see clearly; one could only perceive that the other was shrouded in mysterious, auspicious clouds.
In front of a restaurant in the city, Niu Dali and Chen Yuque, who had just arrived, gazed at the sky in equally awe.
"Is it a deity?" Chen Yuque asked, completely losing her desire to confront her Junior Disciple Brother.
Niu Dali did not answer, but stared blankly at the figure, which was so large that it seemed boundless, carrying a huge Wheel of Reincarnation on its back, like a terrifying demon god that had existed since ancient times.
He is an Orthodox God.
Niu Dali suddenly trembled, a question popping into his mind—so this is how powerful the gods are.
Could I really Devour God?
Only a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, but after witnessing the majesty of the gods, his initial madness completely dissipated.
Such is existence.
Can I really devour it?
Niu Dali was in a daze when he saw that terrifying figure take a step down and land right on the long street.
As the Primordial Auspicious Cloud rolled and churned, the true form of the terrifying being within them was revealed in a sliver.
Niu Dali and Chen Yuque rubbed their eyes simultaneously.
Zhang Fusheng, the 'Zhang Fusheng' at Ayi Restaurant, also rubbed his eyes.
That is
Zhang Fusheng
Niu Dali's scalp tingled as he stared intently at the face that was faintly visible amidst the mysterious and ethereal clouds.
He's my Junior Disciple Brother.
It really is my Junior Disciple Brother's face, exactly the same!!
In a moment of terror, he saw the horrifying creature glance at him lightly, and it was in that instant of eye contact that...
Niu Dali actually read the emotion and the taste of 'vicissitudes of time' in it!!
His legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, his mind a jumbled mess.
But this terrifying being did not pause for a moment. With another step, it traversed a vast distance, distorted space, and descended upon the Ninth District.
Zhang Fusheng had no interest in these trivial details—after all, it was just a fictional past, and there was no need to interfere.
There was only one thing he needed to do.
"Now."
With a soft shout, the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron appeared in his hand. Under Zhang Fusheng's encouragement, the Divine Needle grew taller and taller and taller!
The Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron disappeared into the void, breaking through the boundaries of reality and the Great Universe.
Following the altar used to pray to the God of Plague, one arrives directly in Different Dimension.
The divine embryo that was supposed to descend still descended, guided by the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron.
Only in this way can we ensure that after the illusion becomes reality and the result becomes real, the Old Niu's divine body will not be directly erased.
As for the intermediate process?
It doesn't matter.
The changes made in the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram" only reflect the 'result' and do not truly alter that period of history in reality.
In this way.
Everything was then accomplished.
"Now."
Let me see this fruit.
Zhang Fusheng murmured softly, not having much contact with the old friends from this period of time. With a thought, he returned to the illusory river of time.
Then,
He reached out and gently squeezed it.
He crushed that sliver of consciousness that the man in the black robes had been holding onto.
Not a single message was sent back.
Same.
The illusory reality created by the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram thus came to an end, and then—
It came true.
History remains unchanged, time stands still, only the outcome becomes reality.
The real world then underwent a complete transformation.
The real world.
Outside the capital's outskirts.
'Wow!!'
The man in black coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram before his eyes spun wildly, the blurry imagery reflected within disappearing completely.
"My fragmented soul died within the painting?"
The man in black robes was baffling; how could this be possible?
Although he received help from the mysterious entity within the wood carving, he only entered it with a wisp of his soul.
But if real danger arises, shouldn't the divided soul be able to detach itself at any time?
But now, the divided soul has directly perished and shattered.
Not even a single memory has been passed back!
That's weird, so weird.
"Senior?" The man in black robes picked up the wooden carving, panting, and asked with surprise and uncertainty, "What happened?"
The wisp of true spirit trapped within the wooden carving fell silent, clearly also bewildered.
For a long time.
The spirit within the wood carving spoke:
"What exactly did your divided soul do within the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram? What being did it provoke?"
The man in black robes was taken aback:
"Senior, I don't understand what you mean."
After another moment of silence, a voice came from within the wooden carving:
"With my assistance, your divided soul is sufficient to initially activate the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram. Logically speaking, it's impossible for you to die within it; you can escape at any time, unless—"
After a short while,
The hazy, indistinct voice turned serious:
"Unless he offends someone who has witnessed the true flow of time, and his time is imprisoned by that being, then he will have no way to escape."
The man in black robes was even more confused:
"I still don't understand. What kind of person was he?"
The will within the wooden carving remained silent for a moment, then softly said:
"Those who can witness the entirety of time are either personally mentored by Supreme Beings being, or they are Daluo."
"Go back to the capital. Your fragmented soul has probably offended the true spirit of some old friend in the fictional past and present of the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram '."
The man in the black robe swallowed hard, a chill running down his spine.
Meanwhile, in the capital...
"Um??"
Old Niu was lying on the sofa, eating snacks and watching a movie about ordinary people, suddenly shuddered and stood up abruptly.
He was horrified to discover that his memories were changing.
No, it's not a change.
More accurately, there's an extra paragraph!
In brand new memories,
He did not devour the Heaven and Earth of Jiangzhou, nor did he descend because of a blood sacrifice—he was guided down by the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron!
The being wielding the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron needle carried a jet-black Wheel of Reincarnation that radiated divine light.
Although its figure was shrouded in auspicious clouds, its true appearance could still be glimpsed occasionally.
"Zhang Fusheng??"
Old Niu felt a chill run down his spine, and a tingling sensation went down the back of his head.
It was him.
A long, long silence followed.
Just how strong is he now?
The Old Niu muttered to itself, breathing slightly heavily, an expression of disbelief on its face.
"Interfere with time, change the course of history, rewrite the past."
"What incredible power this is!"
No one answered him.
Above the Golden Province, in the ancient starry sky.
The carriage hovered silently.
Having nearly merged with the Plague Heavenly Position, the Miss Mingyue slowly opened her eyes, a look of horror appearing on her face.
"The past has changed. It's Young Master Zhang."
She lowered her eyes, gazing at the Golden Province beneath the starry sky. With her divine eyes, she could clearly see—
The Jiangzhou City was originally destroyed, which was merely a product of Zhang Gongzi's imagination and had only a superficial appearance, has been replaced at some unknown time.
It has been truly replaced by Heaven and Earth of Jiangzhou.
As for that city?
It is now completely intact, bustling with people and extremely prosperous.
And the millions who should have died six months ago have not died.
Time really does change things.
The Miss Mingyue felt a chill run down her spine; she was destined to change history and rewrite the past.
This is something only [Daluo] could do.
Young Master Zhang could not possibly have already attained the Daluo, but that is precisely what makes him even more terrifying.
"Daluo's characteristics??"
The Miss Mingyue was lost in thought and speechless.
As for right now.
Within the Golden Province, in the Purple Bamboo Forest.
To the astonishment of Su Qiansuan and the Cui clan members, the mysterious man in black robes suddenly evaporated and vanished into thin air.
They instinctively turned their gaze to the mysterious young man.
But the other person was standing perfectly fine in the same spot, with their eyelids slightly lowered.
Su Qiansuan raised an eyebrow slightly:
"Your Mightiness."
Before he could finish speaking, His expression suddenly changed, and he lowered his head, gazing down at the Purple Bamboo Forest.
Su Qiansuan also saw the Heaven and Earth of Jiangzhou suddenly intact, and saw the millions of people who were supposed to be dead but were now alive and well.
What's going on here??
In a daze,
Su Qiansuan seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up and turned his head, just in time to see the mysterious young man in coarse linen clothes who had raised his head at some point.
Dazzling and colorful.
A terrifyingly high-quality, mysterious light was flowing from the youth's Ancestral Aperture between his eyebrows.
It is boundless vitality, infinite depth, and accompanied by mysterious divine water, all flowing out together!
Zhang Fusheng exhaled a soft Pure Qi, silently sensing the earth-shattering changes that had taken place within him.
Reality changes, the past remains the same, but the outcome changes.
Then.
The peaches, Peach Tree of Immortality, Innate Willow, Ginseng Fruit, along with the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil,
It took root, was nurtured, and nourished for nineteen years in the space between his Ancestral Aperture and in his heart.
The vitality of the peaches and Ginseng Fruit, the richness of the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil;
There is also the [Three Lights Divine Water] created by the Innate Willow.
Everything, the culmination of nineteen years of preparation, erupted at this moment.
Zhang Fusheng could sense it.
His mastery of water magic, gained from consuming large quantities of the flesh of the Altar Cleanser Envoy, was advancing rapidly.
The mysterious and elusive Three Lights Divine Water, which I clearly obtained myself...
However, due to the transformative power of the Mountain River Society and Country Diagram, it became something seemingly born alongside itself.
It felt incredibly familiar and dear to me.
The Three Lights Divine Water has coexisted with this body for nineteen years.
The Three Lights Divine Water can erode blood essence, bones, and flesh; it can corrode the Primordial Spirit and soul; it can devour true spirits and consciousness. It is the most potent poison in the universe and the source of the Weak Water.
Yet at the same time, it possesses the ability to heal all things.
In mythology, the Primordial Heavenly Venerate once sprinkled the Three Lights Divine Water, which transformed into a moat. Even with the Golden-Winged Roc flapping its wings eighty-one times, it still could not dry it up.
This moat blocked the way for the gods and immortals—that is, the Three Lights Divine Water.
Now, it is under my control.
Zhang Fusheng could clearly sense that he, who originally symbolized the [Unique Dao] and the [Wheel of Reincarnation Dao],
At the same time, it also adds a symbolic meaning to the way of water!
When he extended his fingertips,
You can even see a single drop of the legendary Three Lights Divine Water shimmering on your fingertips!
No wonder it's said that even the Daluo Emperor coveted that willow branch.
"Wonderful, wonderful."
Amidst the bewildered gazes of the crowd, Zhang Fusheng sighed softly for the second time, then reached out and grabbed.
Su Qiansuan suddenly realized something, looked down in astonishment, and saw that the entire Heaven and Earth of Jiangzhou had suddenly become illusory, and then...
The entire Heaven and Earth of Jiangzhou, along with the millions of people who should have died long ago, was absorbed into the mysterious young man's body!
Another satisfied sigh escaped his lips.
Zhang Fusheng stretched – refining the Heaven and Earth of Jiangzhou was, in a sense, equivalent to an ordinary Venerable refining a blessed land or Buddhist kingdom.
Although he cannot break through to the Great Power realm, he still must complete the Great Spirit stage.
But.
But it has already allowed him to reach the peak of the Venerable Realm.
They are only one step away from becoming truly powerful.
"Speaking of which, now that I have the Three Lights Divine Water, can I revive the Ginseng Fruit Tree?"
The thought popped into Zhang Fusheng's mind, and he raised his eyelids to gaze at the people in the Purple Bamboo Forest.
"The Cui family, why haven't you come to pay your respects?"
He spoke calmly, his voice resonating, and a thick, chaotic light quietly illuminated the scene.
As he spoke, Zhang Fusheng looked up and gazed at the boundless sky.
He could sense that the changes in reality were far more than what he saw at the moment.
It's time to head to the capital.
