The system's notification sounds rang out like a violent explosion.

A mysterious and sublime power appeared throughout the Crimson Dimension.

Soon, this spacetime region seemed to be temporarily severed from the greater spacetime of the Astral Realm, and everything here, including the River of Time, was instantly frozen.

The entire bottom of the Endless Abyss was instantly frozen in time.

At this moment, both the crimson mist churning endlessly at the bottom of the Endless Abyss and the Demon Prince Koyisas, who had risen from his Throne, fell still.

Logically speaking, given the spacetime Level of the Astral Realm, the Demon Prince Koyisas, who has already reached the Star Saint Realm, should be able to resist the erosion of the Astral Realm River of Spacetime.

But at this moment, this Greater God power that freezes time and space is what plunges him and everything at the bottom of the Endless Abyss into a time-space freeze.

The moment the system's mysterious power appeared.

Above the River of Time in the Astral Realm, a tall figure dressed in white robes and holding a scepter suddenly stopped on the riverbank, turned around, and looked back at the downstream of the River of Time.

"That aura has reappeared."

"No, this aura, though seemingly from the same source, feels different from the previous ones."

He couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.

"It's like a more complete origin, rather than a part of what it was before."

"No, that's not right either. There's still a difference between the two powers. That complete power seems more like a derivative of the incomplete power. It's too strange."

"Moreover, this is an unpolluted power."

"And that thing that transformed into Endless Abyss was corrupted."

His eyes held a look of longing, as if he were recalling the past.

"Back then, even this corrupted part required several of us Star Saint to unite against the enemy to barely erase its bizarre consciousness, causing it to fall into the Astral Realm and continue to exist as an Endless Abyss."

"Back then, in the battle against that thing, we were all severely injured and fell into a deep sleep. Only I, because I possessed a treasure, was able to recover earlier than them over the long years."

"So, in which time and space did that aura originate, and at which point in time?"

He lowered his eyes and walked to the surface of the River of Time. The magnificent power of time gathered in his eyes, allowing him to see through the river of time and see the scene downstream.

"Huh, it's actually the Endless Abyss tens of thousands of years in the future?"

The next moment, He jumped up in surprise!

"***, what else did I see? The Astral Realm is still connected to that broken universe."

"Impossible! I've already killed or blocked everyone in the Astral Realm who walks the Path of the Sky Lord. Logically, this shouldn't be happening again!"

"Damn it, all those years of effort have come to nothing. Are we really going to get involved in the conflicts of the Multiverse?"

He let out a sigh.

"Alas, even in death, is His power still so great?"

He continued to look into the depths of the Abyss, but when he tried to understand the reason more deeply, he was blocked by a mysterious force.

"What's blocking my view, Demon Prince?"

"No, He doesn't have that kind of power yet."

"No, I have to go back and check."

As he spoke, he took out a round plate, which seemed to be made of some kind of jade bone and was very mysterious. When the white-robed Star Saint infused his power into it, a dazzling seven-colored aura appeared on the plate.

It was an aura of the very essence of time, enough to allow him to resist the erosion of the River of Time and thus walk upon River of Time.

This Disc of Time fell into the Astral Realm along with the now-evil Abyss Origin.

It was with the help of this divine artifact that they were able to defeat the original source of the Endless Abyss, extinguish its consciousness, and turn it into Endless Abyss with only mechanical will.

As the white jade bone disc shone, seven-colored light enveloped the white-robed Star Saint, carrying him downstream in the River of Time.

The bottom of Endless Abyss where time and space are frozen.

Everything was frozen, including Jiang Yuu.

But unlike others, his consciousness was not frozen, and his thinking was still functioning.

Fortunately, the unexpected situation did not make him nervous; countless years of fighting and tempering had made him as hard as stone.

However, he was puzzled.

"What happened?"

The next second.

As if in response to his question.

A resounding, ethereal bell chime echoed throughout this frozen space and time.

Like a cue to begin some kind of ritual.

Soon, it appeared before Jiang Yuu's eyes.

A huge projection appeared in his field of vision, as if everything that had happened before had been brought to life again in front of him.

All I saw was...

The spacetime at the bottom of the Endless Abyss, which was originally a deep red background, suddenly changed.

A vast, Nothingness spacetime without beginning or end covered the original crimson spacetime.

No, it can't even be called spacetime, because this Nothingness didn't even allow Jiang Yuu to perceive the concept of spacetime.

In Nothingness.

A massive head, seemingly cleaved in two by some powerful attack, with only one half remaining, drifted in the mysterious, unknown Void.

This Void is not the deep space of the Astral Realm, but a true void, devoid of any energy and Nothingness nothing at all!

This half-head wasn't drifting aimlessly; it was heading in a fixed direction.

Within the skull, two forces were entangled, each trying to Banishment the other from the other half of the skull.

One power originates from the deep red area where the half-skull was severed; the other power originates from the seven-colored area inside the skull.

Countless years have passed, and I don't know how many years have gone by.

The seven-colored power was gradually no match for the crimson power, and most of the head area was eroded by the crimson, with endless crimson mist gushing out from the ears, nose, and mouth of this half-head.

The last remaining seven-colored power was curled up on a jade-colored tooth in the mouth of the half-skull, struggling to resist the erosion of the crimson power.

until.

A vast and expansive Cosmic Grade spacetime appeared before them!
