He even drew out information the Yama Son of Heaven did not know, extending what he had learned from him.
Through mysterious methods of causality and logic, he was piecing together history. It was a feat bordering on the divine, one that demanded boundless computational power.
It was an incredible method, almost like the Jade Tablet in Li Qing's hands, reconstructing the truth behind countless events.
Gradually, the past of the Nine Provinces Four Regions grew clearer. The Underworld Devil Lord's mind seemed to slip silently into the great river of fate, spacetime, and causality that ran through the Infinite Universe.
His mind followed that endless river upstream.
He was watching the origins of the Nine Provinces Four Regions!
Time passed, second by second. The river of fate and time stretched beyond sight.
Even he could not see its banks. It should have been a river, yet it seemed more like an endless sea.
The Devil Lord paid little attention to the boundless river of spacetime, causality, and fate.
He simply followed the thread of causality belonging to the Nine Provinces Four Regions, tracing it ever farther upstream.
The river of spacetime, fate, and causality seemed endless, as though he would never reach its source.
Only when he reached a point a hundred million years in the past did boundless chaos cut off the entire river of fate and spacetime.
The Devil Lord's will halted before that chaos.
A trace of gravity entered his thoughts. He had discovered a problem.
The causality of the Nine Provinces Four Regions extended into that chaotic world.
Strangest of all, once it entered the chaos, a glimmer of gold seemed to flicker along it.
Yet across the most recent hundred million years, that gold had turned the same color as ordinary causality.
