Su Changqing raised an eyebrow slightly, a rare hint of surprise appearing on his face.
How was this possible?
He had clearly fished this person out from the point in time when Yan was still alive, yet upon bringing him into reality, the laws of spacetime had forcibly determined that this young man was dead.
Su Changqing crouched down and sent a thread of divine power into Yan's Sea of Consciousness.
It was completely empty.
It was not as simple as his divine soul being crushed. This young man's soul origin—even every trace of his past, present, and future existence—had been utterly erased in that instant by some supreme rule.
This was not ordinary death at all.
It was more like how those exploring Universe Masters in the Universe Ocean accidentally fell into a Supreme Forbidden Land and suffered "complete erasure," unable to be revived even by reversing time and space!
How could a mere Earth possess a Supreme Forbidden Land?
The will of the Primal Universe was even less likely to impose an extermination rule of this level upon a mortal.
Who could have done this?
Su Changqing rose to his feet, his deep gaze fixed on the depths of the starry sky.
"Could it be that old fellow Mountain Sitting Guest?"
Su Changqing silently deduced the possibilities.
As a reincarnated God King, Mountain Sitting Guest indeed possessed methods capable of reaching the heavens and penetrating the earth.
If he had discovered an uncontrollable variable from another world appearing on Earth, then casually erasing it at its root to ensure the purity of his painstaking work did seem plausible.
But Su Changqing quickly shook his head, overturning that seemingly reasonable guess.
He knew Mountain Sitting Guest's method of cultivating successors better than anyone.
It was practically a cruel state of neglect.
What Mountain Sitting Guest needed was an unparalleled genius capable of carving a bloody path through blood and fire, a perfect vessel able to endure the transformation of the Nine Tribulations Manual.
To Mountain Sitting Guest, Earth was merely a cradle for selection.
He would not care in the slightest if a few foreign bugs appeared in that cradle.
He might even be pleased to see Earth face a crisis, because only experts who had weathered hardship and grown through fighting unknown powerful enemies were the successors he truly wished to see.
Those who failed to endure the selection would simply die. Mountain Sitting Guest would not even spare them a second glance.
Even Luo Feng, that child favored by fortune, was currently nothing more than an ordinary Earth Martial Artist with a sliver of potential, still struggling desperately in Mountain Sitting Guest's eyes. He was not worth Mountain Sitting Guest's attention at all.
Mountain Sitting Guest would never personally use an extermination rule of this level over such a trivial matter.
Then who was it?
What bored-to-death peak expert would come to this godforsaken Earth just to deliberately impose a supreme-rule-level extermination?
The target was merely an otherworldly lifeform so weak it could be ignored.
Could it be that, within this vast Universe Ocean, aside from himself and Mountain Sitting Guest, other peak cosmic experts—or even supreme beings not belonging to this dimension—had noticed this tiny Earth?
"Now this is interesting."
Su Changqing clapped his hands and chuckled as he looked at the corpse on the ground.
Ever since he had dominated the Universe Ocean, he had not felt this kind of sensation of being beyond his control for a very long time.
"Looks like this avatar can finally stretch its legs properly."
With that, Su Changqing extended his hand again and began rewinding time with the power of rules.
This time, Su Changqing's rule power enveloped the entire Earth, then began rewinding it at a frenzied pace!
Throughout the process, Su Changqing followed Yan's past traces like a shadow.
Until a certain moment.
Without any warning, a flash of white light flickered, and Yan suddenly appeared in an open area!
"Hmm?"
Su Changqing raised an eyebrow slightly and rubbed his chin in surprise.
"Interesting. He appeared out of nowhere without any warning?"
At that moment, Su Changqing thought of the novels he had read in his previous life.
Reincarnation Space?
Descenders?
Though he had such a suspicion, Su Changqing was not entirely certain. After all, although he was a transmigrator, he did not have any so-called system accompanying him.
And at his level, from his perspective, the existence of systems was clearly contrary to common sense.
"It could be a hidden move laid down by some peak cosmic expert... After all, while Mountain Sitting Guest is mysterious, quite a few people know his name."
"Following the clues to find traces of Mountain Sitting Guest, then leaving hidden moves on Earth as well, isn't impossible."
"Could it really be that a peak expert directly erased him to prevent information from leaking?"
After pondering for a moment, Su Changqing gave up on the idea of forcibly tracing Yan's origins through other means.
"Forget it. This isn't my true body, after all."
To evade Mountain Sitting Guest's gaze, this avatar had stripped away most of its origin, leaving only a trace to sustain its immortality. The methods it could employ were also far fewer.
Reversing time was a basic minor technique for a Void True God, but Earth was, after all, Mountain Sitting Guest's territory.
A brief reversal of time could still evade Mountain Sitting Guest's notice.
But once he forcibly used methods involving his origin, it would be difficult to ensure that Mountain Sitting Guest would not discover him. That would be more trouble than it was worth.
"Once my true body obtains the corpse of the God King of Jin, there will be no need to hide from Mountain Sitting Guest. Then, my true body can personally reverse time and take a look."
Then Su Changqing flipped his wrist.
Starting from the moment Yan descended, everything began moving forward.
Su Changqing watched quietly, like an outsider, clearly seeing everything Yan had experienced after arriving.
Until they returned to the present moment.
Su Changqing did not pay any further attention to Yan's corpse.
He closed his eyes, and his vast divine consciousness spread soundlessly like a tide, instantly covering every corner of Earth.
The next second, his gaze pierced through layers of mist and accurately turned toward a certain direction.
Jiangnan Base City, Sixth Satellite City!
In his perception, two faint auras utterly different from Earth's humans, completely out of place, were still pulsing in that direction.
Though those auras were so faint that finding them was like searching for two ants in a desert, they could not escape his notice.
And beyond that, three gradually dissipating auras were likewise completely out of place on present-day Earth.
The next instant, Su Changqing appeared amid some ruins.
He extended a hand, and invisible rule power erupted.
Su Changqing's gaze deepened as his arm reached forward. Yet his arm vanished from the spacetime of the present, instead advancing continuously through the gaps between time.
Then, from within those gaps in time, it seized someone's collar.
With a casual pull.
A person was dragged back to the present by Su Changqing.
In an instant, all memories of death returned to this person's mind, making him ask in a trembling voice, "I... wasn't I dead?"
"Very good. It seems that as long as one hasn't been erased, resurrection is still possible."
The reflection of an endless galaxy appeared in Su Changqing's eyes, leaving Su Yuntao instantly dazzled.
"Who are you?"
"Su... Su Yuntao..."
Su Yuntao???
At that instant, Su Changqing's mind shook violently!
Blind Douluo Su Yuntao!
Holy crap! Was this the bottom-tier fantasy world?!
Well, they really had some nerve, treating a high-level fantasy world like Swallowed Star as a dungeon to farm?!
Were they not afraid of exposing a flaw, then getting farmed in return?
The Douluo Plane was unexpectedly so bold!
At the same time, new changes suddenly appeared on the light screen that had originally belonged to Yan!
