Why was there a backlash from time?
An answer had already begun to surface in Lu Qing's heart.
He had heard of the backlash of time in connection with the Long River of Time. It was something that had spread from the tomb of some great expert, recording scattered fragments of a time inheritance.
In the end, no one obtained that Jade Slip inheritance in its entirety. Instead, it split into thirteen equal portions.
Lu Qing himself had never intended to vie for this inheritance.
But sometimes, a fortuitous encounter was merely a coincidence. Once an opportunity fell into one's hands, there was no need to let it pass through one's fingers again.
