Everything Was Ready, All That Was Missing Was the East Wind

The River of Time.

Green Edge and Qian Jue stood frozen in place, staring ahead in disbelief, unable to recover for a long time!

The place they are in is the River of Time.

It was a long river made of yellow sand, flowing continuously from upstream to downstream. Their Cultivation was sealed here, and their running speed could not keep up with the speed of the flowing yellow sand.

Here!

It is one of the most mysterious places in the Boundary Battlefield.

Basically, no one has ever come in. Of course, it's possible that someone has come in, but they can only enter and not leave, and no news has been sent out.

These days...

I've been searching for "nodes".

Ever since they accidentally found the node and were able to make contact with Ming San, they have been searching for the next node, but haven't found it yet.

But...

Just now!

They saw "the River of Time flowing backwards".

Yellow sand fills the sky, flowing from downstream to upstream!

Even ordinary rivers flowing down from high mountains almost never flow backwards, let alone the River of Time. But now they have witnessed this scene with their own eyes, a scene that is comparable to the most beautiful sight in the world!

The two of them.

The same message kept popping into my mind.

"The Mortal Domain has reversed time, by three days."

"Mortal Domain..."

"Is it that powerful?"

Qian Jue stood there, somewhat dazed. He was Demon, the renowned "Sweeper." Regardless of whether the Strange Entity Clan or the Human Race won, it was the Demon who were responsible for cleaning up. They could be said to be the strongest creatures on the Boundary Battlefield besides That One great one.

Even so.

He couldn't possibly possess the ability to rewind time.

But now...

He witnessed this method firsthand.

Is this method truly possible for human beings?

"Call..."

Green Edge took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart. He was even more aware that the outside world was in an extremely tense situation. Otherwise, it would be impossible to rewind time at will. Even in the Mortal Domain, it would have to pay a considerable price to use such a method.

It is very likely...

Defeat was just one step away.

"No, we must get out of here immediately."

"Qian Jue."

"If we stay trapped here any longer, it will be too late."

"My tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation have been for this battle. If I fail to achieve even the slightest result, I will have no peace after my death."

Eye."

Qian Jue scratched his head in frustration.

"Who the hell doesn't want to get out!"

"The problem is how to get out. Even if we find the node, we can only contact Ming San and let the Mortal Domain know what happened to us, but that's still not enough to get out."

"Not to mention..."

He was just about to say something.

Suddenly looking ahead, he froze on the spot.

The River of Time has now stopped flowing backward and resumed its forward flow, just as before.

But downstream in the River of Time, patches of "Void" appeared—pure white, or rather, a white without any color. At first glance, one would subconsciously ignore them, as if these things should not exist in this world.

It appeared extremely abruptly in the River of Time.

"This..."

Qian Jue reacted almost instantly. "This only appeared after the River of Time flowed backward and then resumed. It might be the exit from the River of Time, but it could also be a 'killing intent' born from the collision of the past and the present. Once you step into it, you will die."

"Shall we gamble..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Then they saw Green Edge, holding a long sword, rushing towards a "Void" downstream of the River of Time. The original Three-Foot Green Edge was now gleaming with Gold Grade light.

"Call!"

Qian Jue took a deep breath. "May our ancestors bless us."

Without any hesitation, he followed closely behind Green Edge and ran wildly downstream towards the "Void"!

There is Void only downstream.

There is none upstream.

Their running speed couldn't keep up with the speed of the flowing yellow sand. The Void was flowing downstream with the "River of Time." What's worse, this "Void" was slowly shrinking and would soon be completely restored.

They don't have much time left.

They had to run for their lives to barely outpace the speed at which the yellow sand was flowing away.

The nearest "Void" is not far ahead of them.

If it were outside, it would be within the blink of an eye.

Even upstream, it only takes a short drive to get there.

Only downstream.

They have to run like madmen the whole way without stopping for a moment in order to have any chance of catching up before the "Void" dissipates!

They only have this one chance.

If this Void dissipates, they will have neither the time nor the energy to catch up with the one that is second furthest from them.

Void ".

At this time.

Whether they are human, Demon, Asura, or Yellow Springs Wraiths.

Or perhaps they are not Level 90+ powerhouse.

At this moment.

They can only exert their original physical strength.

"Green Edge!"

As Qian Jue ran with his head down, he shouted, "It must be because your sword underwent a mutation under the sand and gravel last time that it's like this. Otherwise, why is there Void downstream of us, but not upstream, right in the center?"

"Have you even figured out that your sword has changed?!"

"No!"

Green Edge didn't turn around, but gasped, "My strength is sealed, I can't use this sword at all, how would I know if it has changed?"

"Don't speak."

"Keep your breathing rhythm and keep chasing!"

"If you don't want to die here with me full of regrets, then give it your all and chase after him!"

"Oh shit!"

Qian Jue took a deep breath and finally roared angrily.

"I was born without ever seeing my mother, and I died without ever marrying."

"I've never had milk in my life."

"Who the hell knows how much effort it takes to suckle!"

He then stopped talking, gritted his teeth, and ran frantically with a ferocious expression. He was clearly giving it his all, but he was only a fraction faster than the yellow sand flowing beneath his feet.

Looking down from above.

The two were like donkeys chasing a carrot dangling over their heads.

He clearly gave it his all.

But they are still stuck in the same place.

Only...

Even if they ran headlong, they could only outrun the yellow sand by a fraction of a second, and the speed was slowly closing in. They didn't have time to think about whether this "Void" would dissipate when they actually caught up.

There was no time to think at that moment.

Run first.

Whether it succeeds or not depends on fate.

Heaven Gate.

Wan Gui and Sanqi were both stunned, a voice simultaneously appearing in their minds.

"The Mortal Domain has reversed time, by three days."

Sanqi clenched his fists slightly, unable to control his emotions.

He knew.

The fact that the Mortal Domain had been pushed to this point meant that the situation on the Frontline was extremely critical, to the point where the Mortal Domain had completely lost control of the situation, while he was still here farming, caused him immense inner turmoil.

"Hold!"

Suddenly, Wan Gui beside him angrily cursed!

"Then all the wheat I planted over the past three days was planted for nothing?"

"Do we have to replant it all over again?"

That's all.

Wan Gui, still cursing, rolled up his sleeves and began preparing to sow the seeds. He had already cleared a large area of wasteland and thrown in a lot of wheat grains. Although there was no progress yet, at least the area had been expanded.

When fully ripe.

Then he would see the "wind blowing through the wheat fields" of his dreams.

Sanqi stared blankly at Wan Gui's retreating figure.

For the first time, he realized how different people's joys and sorrows were. Such a big event, yet Wan Gui was only complaining that his three days of life had been wasted.

That's time travel.

What's wrong with you? Four Five Six.

Wan Gui turned and glanced at Sanqi, saying with a strange look, "Why does she seem so out of sorts?"

"Boss."

Sanqi said in a somewhat dazed voice, "The Mortal Domain has activated time reversal, which means the Frontline Battlefield has reached a fever pitch."

"So what if it gets heated? It gets heated."

Wan Gui curled his lip.

"None of my business."

"Whether the Strange Entity Clan wins or loses is none of our business. We can just enjoy our Retirement Life in this secluded Secret Base. Anyway, even if the Strange Entity Clan is defeated, they won't wipe out all of us remnants."

What are we afraid of?

Sanqi's mouth opened and closed slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

He is different from Wan Gui.

Wan Gui man.

He had a father, friends he made at the Private School, good friends like Xiangyang and Huang, and the large family of the Mortal Domain. He could not accept the situation Mortal Domain was defeated, everyone died in battle, and only he survived.

What he wanted was never to live a solitary, miserable retirement.

Instead...

Together with everyone.

He subconsciously reached for the poisoned Dagger in his pocket. The reason he didn't immediately commit suicide to revive his father was partly because he wasn't sure if his father could revive him here, given the extremely special nature of the place.

Secondly, because this place is extremely special, he wanted to see if he could bring back some more intelligence.

However.

He found nothing.

The Dagger, which had been hidden in the lining, had disappeared without a trace.

"Four Five Six."

Wan Gui noticed Sanqi's actions, raised an eyebrow, and said with some emotion, "I hid your Dagger a long time ago. It's dangerous; it's poisoned."

"That's why I said you are truly loyal to the Strange Entity Clan."

"To avoid capture, he specifically prepared a method of suicide."

"But first, don't rush. After all, the Mortal Domain has only activated time reversal; victory hasn't been declared yet. Hades is still very strong. Think about it, Hades only gave us the 'Hades Needle,' which allowed us to briefly break through Level 90+. Hades must be extremely powerful among Level 90+."

"Secondly..."

Don't carry such unlucky items with you.

"With a sharp blade in hand, the desire to kill arises spontaneously."

"Composure first. Think about whether it's worth it for you to die for the Strange Entity Clan even if they are defeated."

"Never mind."

"We won't be farming today."

"Come here, let's have a drink and have a good chat. I feel like you haven't found your own personality yet. Today I'm going to talk to you about it so you can better understand the world and yourself."

"First"

Wan Gui moved a table over, forcibly pressed Sanqi down opposite him, poured him a glass of wine, and said with a serious and solemn expression.

"Don't die for anyone."

"The most foolish thing in the world is to try to move others to sacrifice themselves."

You don't have to sacrifice yourself for anyone.

Even Hades.

"We fought for Hades. I was the leader back then. I did my best. It's not that we had to fight to the death to repay Hades for all the years he's trained us."

"Even the greatest debt of gratitude has been repaid."

"This world is beautiful. Look, soon there will be wind blowing through the wheat fields, soon there will be big houses, soon there will be big yards."

Everything is getting better.

"And if you die, you won't be able to see anything."

"What a pity, isn't it?"

What do you think?

Sanqi looked up at Wan Gui with red eyes. He didn't know when the other party had taken his Dagger, but he knew one thing for sure: he couldn't have committed suicide under the other party's nose. This meant that his last way out had been blocked.

"Are you afraid that after I die, no one will be there to talk to you, right?"

Wan Gui, who was talking eloquently, froze on the spot. After a long silence, he finally drank the wine in his cup in one gulp and turned his head to look at the vast expanse of reclaimed wasteland in the distance.

"From a friend's perspective."

"You're my friend, I don't want you to die."

From my perspective.

"The wheat fields we've worked so hard to grow are almost ready. I've told you so much about the beautiful scenery of 'wheat waves swaying in the wind,' but it would be a real shame if you didn't get to witness the breathtaking sight of wheat waves blowing in the wind."

"But you're right too."

"I will indeed be very lonely if you die."

"You're alone for a while. You're in a bit of a dead end right now, but with me here, you definitely won't die."

"Hades."

"He's not someone you'd be willing to die for just because he lost a battle."

"At least, Hades isn't now."

"Not to mention."

"He's very strong, and he most likely won't lose."

That's all.

Wan Gui got up and continued walking towards the barren wheat field that had been cleared in the distance.

Boundary Battlefield.

The entire war seemed to have been paused, becoming extremely quiet for a moment, but... undercurrents were surging.

Apart from Hades and Chen Fan, who were absolutely sealed in their original positions.

Human Race mobilized to transport all the Eerie Stone to the Mortal Domain, while other Living Beings witnessed the war through their own means, sometimes guessing and sometimes observing.

And "No, it hurts my teeth."

Xuan Ba shook his head with a muffled sound. At that moment, he only felt a sharp pain in his teeth, and in front of him stood "Hades" in the air.

At this moment, Hades held the King's Blood Blade at an angle, his face expressionless as he gazed ahead.

"The Kings Never Meet."

It's only an absolute seal; it doesn't mean you're immune to harm during the absolute seal period.

So one of the tasks they received from "Celestial Pivot" was to try to execute Hades while Hades was sealed away, or to strip him naked.

He just took a big bite.

Hades was unharmed.

He felt like his teeth were about to break.

"Crunch crunch..."

Xuan Ba bit his lip a few times, and after confirming that his teeth hadn't fallen out, he looked at the people beside him. "You guys come on, the Black Tortoise Clan isn't good at attacking either. Since ancient times, the legends about Black Tortoise have only focused on Black Tortoise strong defense. I've never heard of Black Tortoise suddenly attacking and killing its enemy, have I?"

Beside you.

It was Qi Yue, Baobao, White Eye, Wan Gu, and others.

They were resurrected through a rewind of time.

Or rather, it cannot be called a resurrection.

Instead, it's about going back in time.

The memories they possessed only extended up to the time before their deaths; everything that happened afterward was learned from others.

"Never mind."

Qi Yue shook her head. "The Mortal Domain has already conducted experiments. They just launched a 'Ten Thousand Hands' Level-90 Heavenly-Derivation Sky-Piercing Pillar, yet it didn't harm the sealed Hades. Let's see if we can strip him of his belongings."

The words had barely left his mouth.

The group all looked up at Hades was suspended in the air.

Barefoot.

Plain clothes.

A scarlet robe.

King's Blood Blade.

The next moment, the group of people all started to take off their clothes, tear off their robes, and Qi Yue, with both hands gripping the King's Blood Blade and her feet on Hades' chest, pulled outwards with all her might!

After Incense Stick.

A group of people, panting heavily, sat cross-legged in the air, preparing to execute the next plan.

"No."

Qi Yue was slightly out of breath. "You can't get anything done, it's like it's welded shut. Wan Gu is counting on you."

"Good."

Wan Gu slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he manifested in the mortal world, suddenly casting his hook. The hook landed precisely in the arms of Hades in his white robes. Then, he gritted his teeth and pulled the rod with all his might!

He was Angler.

The king of the Angler Clan.

Faced with such a live target so close at hand, normally speaking, it's like taking a net to a restaurant's fishpond—you could catch it even with your eyes closed.

However...

The fishing line snapped.

Wan Gu's body flew uncontrollably into the distance, only regaining its footing after a long while.

Qi Yue looked at the scene before her and sighed softly.

"No."

"It seems, just as the Domain Lord said, that this plan has virtually no chance of success. Hades has far more tricks up his sleeve than we imagined."

Time is of the essence.

"Walk."

"Go and carry out the next task."

Three days later.

The absolute seal has been broken.

Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes and looked ahead. Hades, who was suspended in front of him, also slowly opened his eyes. Their gazes met quickly in the air. The first thing they saw when they woke up was each other.

Chen Fan.

At this moment, there was not a trace of a smile in Hades' eyes. The King's Blood Blade in his hand began to charge up again, and the Scarlet Glow intensified once more. His tone was extremely calm, as if it were coming from the depths of an extremely cold land.

"You have more tricks up your sleeve than I imagined."

"But"

Let's stop here.

"If you're not satisfied, then use every trick in the book."

Chen Fan smiled.

He didn't really know his chances of winning, but that didn't matter at this moment. He glanced at the "Mortal Domain Halo" that had reappeared on the panel, and then at the "Hades the Underworld" hanging between Heaven and Earth above him.

"I will."

I hope you are too.

Hades laughed as well, "Exterminating Human Race isn't enough for me to use my full power."

That's all.

Hades closed his eyes and began to gather his strength again.

Only the "Final Reverberation" can break through this "Heavenly Chasm City Wall." No matter what he wants to do, he must first break through this Heavenly Chasm City Wall; otherwise, he will be unable to do anything to this evil Human Race.

Chen Fan did not descend from the City Wall.

Instead, he stood on the City Wall, leaning on his Jadeite Staff, gazing at the horizon.

One day.

Hades needs a day to gather his strength.

That's enough.

He holds the title of "Uncrowned King".

The "Mortal Domain Halo" is in place once again.

Wang Kui had somehow climbed onto the City Wall and quickly reported to his superior in a low voice.

"All the Human Race's Eerie Stone have been gathered in the Mortal Domain."

"The wedding preparations at the Logistics Pavilion are also complete."

"All tasks assigned by Celestial Pivot have been prepared and completed."

"Relevant combat units."

"Those like Xuan Ba and the Extinction Demon Emperor have also made corresponding arrangements."

Everything is ready, except for the east wind.

"As well as..."

Zhong Yi message arrived, asking... what are the chances of victory for the Mortal Domain?

Chen Fan did not answer immediately, but gazed at the horizon for a long time before softly saying, "No reply."

"Clear."

He's waiting.

"Hades" is about to finish charging up.

Waiting for the perfect moment.

Wait

A fleeting opportunity, a seat at the table for an all-in bet, an unprecedented wedding.

Command Post No. 002

Zhong Yi slightly pale face, he stood in front of the Jade Pivot screen. At this moment, the command of the Human Race had been completely taken over by "Mortal Domain Celestial Pivot".

Following Yaoguang, Yuheng, and Jade Pivot.

Celestial Pivot has become the new hub of humanity.

Still no news from Green Edge?

He looked back at his Master with some reluctance.

The Elderly Man once wore Sky-Piercing Pillar Badge on his chest but now had no badge on his chest, shook his head with a touch of melancholy.

"Could it be..."

"Are we wrong, and Green Edge is right?"

Zhong Yi gritted his teeth, somewhat unwilling.

Before.

They firmly believed that individual combat strength was useless in a battlefield of this level, and that no matter how strong an individual was, it wouldn't make much difference. It wasn't until the appearance of Hades that they realized this.

Individual combat strength is not meaningful.

Rather, it's because the individual components aren't strong enough.

If someone is as strong as Hades, capable of wiping out an entire clan single-handedly, who dares to say that individual combat strength is meaningless?

And Green Edge.

The path they follow is one of self-cultivation, absorbing Dark Energy to enhance their own strength, rather than building structures.

There's no point in talking about this now.

The Elderly Man shook his head.

"Green Edge's strength was built up over a long period of time. At that time, the Human Race did not have that much time. Building this path was the only way we could quickly utilize Dark Energy to resist the Strange Entities."

"This is the right road."

"We cannot negate the path our predecessors have taken because of a small setback now."

We did nothing wrong.

"Only..."

"Hades's power has indeed exceeded all of our expectations."

Both of them had already died once.

Now, with a rewind of time, it reappears in the world.

When do you plan to use Jade Pivot?

Zhong Yi, he looked at the badge that his Master was holding tightly in his hand.

Rewinding time.

At this time, "Jade Pivot" had not yet been activated and was still in operation.

"Wait for orders from the Mortal Domain."

"Let the king of the Human Race guide us in this battle."

Zhong Yi moment, then smiled wryly and said, "Why was the prophecy from that Oracle Island only passed down, saying that a long time from now, the Human Race and the Strange Entity Clan would have a final battle led by their respective kings?"

"Why hasn't any prediction of victory or defeat been made?"

The Elderly Man did not reply.

He didn't ask any more questions.

He just stared blankly at Hades, who was gathering his strength on the Jade Pivot screen, and he couldn't think of any other way.

Hades as we know him today.

The sense of oppression it brought to Human Race was like an insurmountable mountain.

This is the only lifeline facing Human Race.

Only the Mortal Domain.

He couldn't have imagined it.

How should the Mortal Domain respond?

Can the Human Race prevail?

Can we win in the Mortal Domain?
