Watching Lin Yi head straight for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi of the Douluo I era grew nervous.
Whether in the present or the future, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was still the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi did not want anything to happen to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The sect was flourishing. Under his leadership, it had become the second-greatest sect in the world, with two Titled Douluo holding the fort in the current era.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect of the future should not be doing badly either.
But Lin Yi was a Peerless Douluo, after all!
Even if Chen Xin and Gu Rong joined forces, they would be no match for an expert like him. They would not even be able to put up a fight.
In the Heavenly Screen's broadcasts so far, the many methods Lin Yi had displayed had already surpassed the mortal realm.
If Ning Fengzhi truly had to set a standard for Lin Yi's combat power, it would have to be that of a god.
In Ning Fengzhi's eyes, Lin Yi was already a god to some extent.
It was just that Lin Yi seemed to lack a Godhood.
A Peerless Douluo who had reached the realm of a god but could not break through without a Godhood.
Of course, it was also possible that his own experience was limited and he did not know what level a true Peerless Douluo could reach.
Perhaps all Peerless Douluo were at this level, completely beyond comparison with Peak Douluo at level 98 and below.
Ning Fengzhi held his breath and focused, staring at the image.
He was very nervous.
As Lin Yi left Heaven Dou City, taking one step, then another, he arrived outside the city at the place where Ning Fengzhi remembered the sect being located. The moment the sect's signboard came faintly into view, Ning Fengzhi's pupils contracted.
"Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"
No one knew his own sect's signboard better than Ning Fengzhi.
He immediately noticed something amiss and saw the number that was completely different from the one on the sect's current signboard.
Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!
At that moment, it was as if Ning Fengzhi's heart had been gripped, as though a great hammer had come crashing down, making his heart pound.
If Ning Fengzhi had one greatest regret, it was naturally that he could not experience what it was like to be a nine-ring Titled Douluo.
He believed his talent was by no means poor. He had reached level 79 in his prime and had felt no sign that his progress was flagging.
In his view, if his Martial Soul had not held him back, he would have had an excellent chance of breaking through to become a nine-ring Titled Douluo.
Thus, Ning Fengzhi's greatest regret in life was that he had not been able to resolve his Martial Soul's defect.
Yet this regret did not usually show itself.
After all, every direct-line disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, which simply could not evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
This was a problem that had plagued countless generations of the Ning family.
Never mind the past hundreds or thousands of years-even the Ning family's ancestors ten thousand years ago had likely been held back by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's defect.
It was as if the Martial Soul itself could only ever cultivate to seven rings.
As a saying on the continent went, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul's amplification ability was so heaven-defying that it had incurred the envy of the heavens.
Yet now Ning Fengzhi had seen the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's signboard.
"The sect masters of every generation have agreed that unless the Martial Soul evolves into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the sect's name cannot be changed."
"The sect in the image has become the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Doesn't that mean that, one day in the future, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect produced at least one Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul?"
Ning Fengzhi held his breath. At that moment, he could hardly wait to see what came next!
He hoped to find what he wanted to see in the images that followed.
Douluo II.
"Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
Lin Yi stopped in front of the sect's signboard.
He studied the signboard, which shimmered with flowing colors and radiated the luster of treasure, and marveled at the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's wealth.
In his mind, the images broadcast by the Heavenly Screen also appeared in his perception.
What reaction would Ning Fengzhi from ten thousand years ago have to this signboard?
Lin Yi pondered the question.
If the point in the past to which his Heavenly Screen was broadcasting was indeed within the story of Douluo I, then which point was it exactly?
Now was his chance to pin down the time.
If Ning Fengzhi did not react strongly in the Douluo I era to which the broadcast reached, Lin Yi could roughly determine the time frame.
Lin Yi stood before the signboard for a moment.
He was watching the livestream.
There were no golden words in the livestream providing any description.
But Lin Yi still had something to look at.
The bullet comments, for example!
He promptly picked out the shock coming from Douluo I among them.
[The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect-it's actually the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect! Could the defect in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul have been remedied?]
At the same time, Yun Ming in Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King was also taken aback.
"What does that mean? Could it be..."
Only now did Yun Ming catch on. He seemed to have discovered the truth behind the Heavenly Screen's broadcast.
"The Heavenly Screen isn't just broadcasting images from Lin Yi's era to the present, ten thousand years after his era. It's also broadcasting them to a time ten thousand years before Lin Yi's!"
At that thought, Yun Ming sucked in a breath of cold air.
If the Heavenly Screen was broadcasting to both the past and the future,
then were the events on Lin Yi's side really just a Simulation?
For Lin Yi, the present, past, and future existed at the same time.
For Yun Ming's side, the present, past, and ancient past existed at the same time.
"Lin Yi's appearance hasn't changed the history on this side, so the three worlds won't affect one another."
Yun Ming quickly drew out some information.
At the same time, he thought of another crucial question.
"Since these bullet comments might be coming from Soul Masters twenty thousand years ago, then the person calling himself Yu Xiaogang..."
At that moment, Yun Ming went numb.
That couldn't really be Yu Xiaogang, could it?
It was not that he doubted the other person's name.
Bullet comments on the Heavenly Screen used a real-name system: one either posted anonymously or used one's real name.
So the other person was definitely called Yu Xiaogang.
Yun Ming had simply assumed all along that he was someone in the Federation who shared the name.
Now, that Yu Xiaogang might be someone who had shared the name twenty thousand years ago.
But when he thought of the terrifying number of likes the man had received...
Yun Ming's imposing frame shuddered!
"Was the Grandmaster I ripped into the real one?"
It was not just Yun Ming. Many quick-witted people in the era of Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King also realized what was going on.
Most people, however, would not expose Yun Ming at a time like this.
After all, Yun Ming was indisputably the strongest under heaven.
Were they not afraid of dying?
As it happened, there really was someone who was not afraid of dying.
[Qiangu Dongfeng: Well, well, well. So you really were betraying your master and ancestors, Yun Ming. You didn't even recognize your own ancestor and kept calling him trash.]
At that moment, Qiangu Dongfeng truly felt at ease in both body and mind.
Yun Ming: ...
He did not argue back.
Instead, he was wondering whether he had betrayed his master and ancestors, or whether Yu Xiaogang really was trash.
Because he truly had not had a problem with Yu Xiaogang himself at the time.
He had purely been taking issue with what Yu Xiaogang had posted.
He certainly could not be the one in the wrong!
The bullet comments finally reached another peak of activity!
The people in Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King had discovered the existence of two eras.
The people in Douluo I had likewise noticed it through the bullet comments from Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King.
[You there, the one called Yun Ming, what era are you from? How many years separate us?]
Someone asked directly.
After countless people in Douluo I saw the bullet comment, it quickly climbed into the trending comments and entered the view of Lin Yi and the people in Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King.
