Everyone went crazy, and even the whole world went berserk.
The source of all the changes lies with Wang Hao. If Wang Hao erases his former self, everything will return to its original trajectory.
Although this world doesn't have theories like parallel universes or time paradoxes, it still knows that changing the past would have terrible consequences.
Especially now that they are all doing very well, not only has their cultivation level become much stronger than before, but they also see the hope of continuing to break through and become even stronger.
Most importantly, they overcame the world- Destroying the World crisis. Although Wang Hao was the one who mainly resolved Destroying the World crisis, they were just bystanders, cheering and encouraging from the sidelines.
But at least it's a happy ending!
Now, Wang Hao, because of a woman's disapproval, directly said he was not going to play anymore, and even wanted to overturn the entire table.
The worst part is that they couldn't stop that madman and could only watch helplessly.
"Although it was somewhat unexpected, it's definitely still that perverted style!"
Zhao Dachui plopped down on the Space. Although he was bewildered and gloomy about Wang Hao's actions, he had no intention of stopping him, nor did he have the ability to do so.
The other person was his brother, his best friend who had saved his life several times. He would support whatever decision the other person made.
But it's inevitable to feel frustrated.
My best buddy is such a loser. He's willing to do something so awful just because a woman said no to him. Is he living for a woman?
This would negate all of them, and all their efforts!
Zhou Xueyi, Fairy Yushu, and Zhu Yunlu watched Wang Hao's figure cautiously through the River of Space and Time, their expressions incredibly forlorn. They knew they had lost to that woman, Dongfang Bai.
In that bastard's heart, the combined status of the three of them probably didn't even equal that woman's.
They were incredibly indignant and resentful about this, but there was nothing they could do.
Because all of this was that man's choice, and as women, they could not go against that man's will!
However, the focus of everyone's attention was on Wang Hao, who was in the past, and he was extremely solemn.
Although he pierced the space between his own eyebrows with the sword energy he had condensed, it was not to kill his opponent, but to open and expand his Spirit Sea Space.
The opening and expansion of the Spirit Sea Space played a crucial role in his growth, so he must complete its opening to form a perfect connection and cycle with the future.
He is now essentially in a closed time loop; everything he is doing now is an inevitable result, predetermined long ago.
If he hadn't gone back in time to open and expand his Spirit Sea Space and left behind that Sword Intent, it would have been extremely difficult for him to rise quickly, and even breaking through to the Celestial Person Realm would have been incredibly difficult.
Breaking through to the Celestial Person Realm is not easy, especially for the first person to break through. If he hadn't taken a shortcut and used that Sword Intent to break through to the True Spirit Sword Intent, he would never have been able to successfully fuse his Bloodline Divine Ability.
Not to mention the breakthroughs that followed, everything was already predetermined when he was reborn.
However, opening and expanding the Spirit Sea Space is extremely difficult, especially since this predecessor was incredibly weak. The slightest mistake could cause the Spirit Sea Space to collapse, and this guy would either die or become a vegetable.
So it's really difficult, and it takes an enormous toll on your health!
He only had True Spirit Sword Intent left, and the sword energy he condensed was still borrowed from Dongfang Bai Bai's power, so the more he used it, the less there was, and the phantom he condensed became more and more illusory, as if it would disappear at any moment.
After all, the True Spirit Sword Intent is the most illusory; it can be sensed, but it cannot be seen with the naked eye. He is only able to manifest it now with the help of Dongfang Bai Bai's power.
With its remaining strength dwindling, it is now difficult to maintain its current state.
However, from an outsider's perspective, it seems that Wang Hao himself wants to erase his past self, so that his future self will naturally not exist, and once the erasure is successful, his present self will also be annihilated.
Everyone was in despair. Faced with this supreme power that could traverse time and space, they were truly powerless to touch it, let alone stop it. They could only watch helplessly.
Just when everyone was in despair, Wang Hao's phantom image, which appeared in the River of Time, suddenly twisted and passed through his former self.
Wang Hao was also taken aback by this. He looked down at the completely collapsed and annihilated sword energy, and then, as if he had thought of something, turned his head and looked back, seeing Dongfang Bai downstream through the River of Time.
At this moment, Dongfang Bai lightly clenched his right hand, and the previous illusory image was rapidly collapsing. It was clear that he had shattered it, which was the only way to stop Wang Hao so far.
At least it's one way that's left out in the open.
"You bastard! Liar! Is this how you came up with your plan to get my forgiveness? Where are all those Gao Ming tricks you used to use to deceive me?! Why don't you use them now?!"
Dongfang Bai was truly furious. She had thought this bastard would come up with some good idea, but instead he came up with such a crude and terrible one.
An attempt to destroy one's former self in order to rewrite the future.
The events of that year will not happen again, so my hatred for him has no basis.
But you bastard, did you even consider how I feel?
Suddenly, she remembered that back in the capital, that scoundrel had asked her about her ideals and aspirations, and she had given him three.
Upon closer reflection, it seems that everything this guy has done over the years has been driven by those three ideals and aspirations.
First, he did his best to search for divine skills and unique techniques for himself, and even used his own talent to create a stronger and more perfect inheritance. Finally, he created three major martial arts systems, as well as the cultivation methods of the Seven Po Magnetic Field and Yin Soul Soul Power.
Then, the series of acts of deception and trickery under the guise of overseas martial arts circles seemed to be an intentional attempt to force the Central Plains martial arts circles to unite and form an alliance, which would eventually lead to the emergence of a martial arts alliance leader.
These two points perfectly align with the wishes I expressed back then, and now that bastard has reversed time and erased my past self, it also fulfills my third wish.
So all that bastard did was for his own benefit!
You bastard!
Her fair, jade -Ruyu hands clenched tightly, and a single, hot tear slowly slid down her cheek.
Even the hardest heart would melt in the face of a man like him.
"Phew! Finally done!"
Hearing Xiao Mengmeng's notification sound, Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief; the punishment task was finally completed.
After putting on this elaborate show, I finally won that girl over. Although we didn't have time to sleep together, at least I accomplished my mission.
Most importantly, the third side quest also changed as Dongfang Bai's emotions shifted.
The original third side quest was to reverse time and kill the host's predecessor, thus saving the Dongfang Lineage from annihilation!
The reward for completing the task is 100,000 Fortune Points; failure to complete the task will deduct 100,000 Fortune Points.
He was unwilling to bear the punishment for this failure, so he could only try to change Dongfang Bai's thoughts and desires, and do so completely.
And now that wish has finally been changed!
"Holy shit!"
Side Quest 3: Stay and accompany Dongfang Bai for the rest of your life!
The reward for completing the task is 100,000 Fortune Points; failure to complete the task will deduct 100,000 Fortune Points.
Looking at this altered side quest, even Wang Hao, with his strong will, couldn't help but swear.
He had originally thought that things would be better after the changes to side quest three. He wasn't even asking for the Fortune Points rewarded by the quest; he just wanted them to stay.
After all, that's 100,000 Fortune Points. Once they're deducted, he'll have worked for nothing in this First Tier, and might even become a debtor.
While Task 3 has indeed changed, it still cannot be completed.
His original body was burned to nothing but a phantom after he used the War God's Body Divine Power, and in the end, it was scattered by that girl Dongfang Bai.
Most importantly, he had to return to the Primordial World, so there was no way he could stay and accompany that girl.
This is a vicious cycle that we can't escape!
Thinking of this, Wang Hao's gaze toward Dongfang Bai became resentful.
Just then, as if sensing the strangeness of the place, a young girl version of Dongfang Bai cautiously approached, carrying an ancient zither, with one hand still resting on the strings.
This is Dongfang Bai during this period!
At this time, Dongfang Bai had not yet followed Dugu Qiubai to learn martial arts; all he knew was a set of obscure musical skills.
Being able to use a special guqin (a seven-stringed zither) to transform internal energy into a sharp blade is quite a skill.
" Xiao Mengmeng, the side quest says to accompany that girl for life, are there any restrictions?"
Upon seeing the guqin held in the hands of the young Dongfang Bai, Wang Hao suddenly had a brilliant idea.
If that idea holds true, it might be possible to find a loophole in this side quest and thus complete it.
"No, all I need is to be able to accompany Dongfang Bai for the rest of my life."
Xiao Mengmeng gave a definite answer and also praised Wang Hao's quick wit.
This guy is a bit useless, but there's still some hope for him.
"That's good!"
Wang Hao grinned and, without delay, rushed into the guqin held by the girl version of Dongfang Bai before his own phantom image completely dissipated, appearing as if he had merged into it.
That wasn't all. Wang Hao merged with the guqin, dividing his Sword Intent into thirteen streams, each merging into one of the thirteen strings.
Strictly speaking, Dongfang Bai is using a guzheng, not a guqin. The guzheng has many more strings than the guqin. However, in this world, there is no strict classification, and many people call the guzheng a guqin and classify it as a type of qin.
This was the solution Wang Hao had come up with. He himself could never stay and accompany that girl for life, but he could leave behind body parts to be integrated into an object to replace himself.
Although splitting one's Sword Intent like this causes a significant loss, it is far better than the penalty of losing 100,000 Fortune Points points for failing the third mission!
After doing all this, Wang Hao decisively had Xiao Mengmeng take him on a journey through time and space back to the origin, and then return to the Primordial Great World.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Bai stared in astonishment at all this. Then, with a thought, a Big White came rushing from afar, with an ancient zither hanging beside it.
This guqin was a gift from her mother and has been with her ever since. She never imagined that the man would eventually become one with this guqin.
" Amitabha Buddha, Eastern Alliance Leader, this object is against the natural order. For the safety of all living beings, we beg you, Alliance Leader, to destroy it!"
Just then, a group of powerful experts at the Celestial Person Realm surrounded the ancient zither, their eyes fixed on it with greed, but even more so with fear and apprehension.
Wang Hao's final act of reversing time and erasing the past truly terrified them, and his eventual merging into the ancient zither might leave behind a legacy of immense power.
This force must not be allowed to exist!
Dongfang Bai ignored these people and calmed down to carefully experience the profound mystery of the guqin in his hands.
Since the day her family was wiped out, she hadn't properly played this zither for a long time, let alone tried to understand the secrets hidden within it.
Her Xianxian gently rested on the strings of the zither, and the Kotone, seemingly capable of cleansing the soul, flowed forth continuously. The originally simple and unadorned zither gradually revealed its extraordinary divine Kamui, containing thirteen kinds of powerful and Invincible Sword Intent.
This scene shocked the powerful figures who had surrounded them. They exchanged glances, all understanding each other's thoughts, and then glared fiercely at Dongfang Bai.
Since this alliance leader is so out of touch with reality, then they shouldn't blame them for being ruthless.
However, as everyone looked at the ancient zither that was gradually displaying its extraordinary Kamui, their greed grew even stronger.
Although they feared Wang Hao's immense power, they also yearned for it immensely, and now that an opportunity was presented to them, they had no reason to miss it.
"Clang clang clang..."
Just as everyone was about to make their move, as if sensing their malice, a series of sword cries rang out, and countless fragments flew over rapidly, merging into ten divine swords that hovered around Dongfang Bai, protecting him in the center.
That wasn't all. A figure a hundred feet tall strode over, holding a giant sword of the same size, standing quietly behind Dongfang Bai like a guard.
It was an empty suit of armor, yet it seemed lifelike, exuding an aura of terrifying power.
This is the ultimate version of the Shameless Greatsword and the suit of armor that Wang Hao shattered during his previous battle with Heavenly Mandate. Under the guidance of the Sword Intent left by Wang Hao in the ancient zither, they have reassembled and returned.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Xueyi and the others who were originally preparing to come to their aid stopped, and the martial arts figures from the Central Plains who wanted to surround and seize the treasure also froze in place.
Faced with such a display of force, who would dare to make a move!
