To trace back the past, claim the future, manipulate Cause and Effect, and influence fate—these were the hallmarks of the Other Shore Realm in the Dharma Body system.
In the Yang God World, Fang Yang's Other Self had taken another step after attaining the Yang God and shattering the vacuum. By making a great vow and becoming a Half-Step Other Shore, he had gained these formidable abilities.
In the Shrouding the Heavens World, Fang Yang's original body had gained a measure of those abilities through the advancement of his Yang God Other Self. But most likely because the worlds operated differently, he could only see the mighty River of Time and the flows of Cause and Effect and fate that permeated heaven and earth.
Fang Yang's viewpoint rose without limit. He saw an unceasing river rushing onward, its surging waves revealing scene after scene.
In the Mythological Era, Emperor Venerable had founded the supreme Heavenly Court, and all beings of the cosmos had built the Starry Sky Ancient Road to pay homage to it. This became the model for later struggles along the Emperor Road.
Fang Yang watched Emperor Venerable in the full flush of ambition, refining Nine-Turn Immortal Pills to invite Supremes into the world, intent on leading his entire sect to immortality. Braving the scouring force of the River of Time, Fang Yang looked farther back.
The Mythological Era had stretched across vast ages. It had produced no fewer beings who attained the Dao than the later Primordial Era and Desolate Ancient Era.
Fang Yang's gaze fell across several crucial junctures, then pressed on toward still more ancient times.
Boom!
The waves of the River of Time surged. An irresistible force washed over Fang Yang, stopping him from going any farther and driving him back to the present.
