"So, do you still remember what you were supposed to do when you came back to Earth Star?"
The waiting time was boring; the few years Li Xingkong had spent cultivating were not even enough for him to take a nap now.
"Jump to a different timeline and change the fate of the Guapilong."
Li Xingkong hasn't forgotten about this yet.
"Yes, think about how you treated your past self, and then think about Wan Chongshan's attitude. Aren't you two cut from the same cloth?"
"You're unwilling to change your past, but do you think she is? Judging from the current situation, it's clear she's unwilling too. Even if you went back to that point in time and changed its fate, wouldn't you just be another Thousand Mountains Body for Wan Chongshan?"
"Well..."
Li Xingkong was speechless for a moment, but upon careful consideration, it seemed to make sense.
For Wan Chongshan, all of his actions were essentially a desperate attempt to create a new Thousand Mountains Body for her.
That was an act of obstruction; even Li Xingkong would find it hard to accept such a thing happening.
No wonder this guy went to great lengths to stop me; he wanted me to miss the best opportunity.
Should I still try to save this Guapilong?
Li Xingkong felt his mind was in a mess; this problem was really putting him in a dilemma.
"Tsk, I knew it, this wicked woman is incredibly cunning..."
The system coughed, glanced around discreetly, and then whispered something.
Time flies, and soon it was time again when Li Xingkong painstakingly gambled for Spiritual Qi materials.
The past Li Xingkong and the system were busy, and the future Li Xingkong and the system will be just as busy.
As Li Xingkong detonated the explosives, he began to use the Thousand Mountains Method. After observing the results, he would then decide whether to preserve this past.
Through the combined efforts of Li Xingkong from the past and the future, the first Spiritual Qi was born.
Li Xingkong also opened the door to cultivation for his past self.
How does it feel to see yourself again as you embarked on your spiritual journey?
The system is also watching its past self and the past Li Xingkong. They are now looking at what is happening to them from the perspective of an audience member, which is quite a strange feeling.
"Watching this makes me want to go into seclusion."
Li Xingkong felt a pang of regret. When did cultivation lose its place in his heart?
Originally, I was willing to give up everything for cultivation. No matter how important something was, it had to take a backseat to cultivation.
But now, he has just stepped into Nascent Soul Nascent Soul stage, and his cultivation at that stage has not yet officially begun. He still has many problems to ponder, but he has temporarily put all these things aside and returned from the Jade Void Palace to the Primordial Universe just to change a part of the past.
Everything seemed a bit upside down, and there was a sense of unreality to it all.
"No, don't forget why you came here. If you don't handle this matter well, how can you guard your mind during your seclusion and cultivation?"
Instead of responding normally, the system began to refute Li Xingkong.
"You should do what you want to do now; that's called severing worldly ties."
"The biggest challenge to becoming an immortal lies in understanding cause and effect. Do what needs to be done, and never procrastinate. Clear-headedness is extremely important."
"Hmm, that's true. I'm already here, I'm back, how can I not give it a try?"
Li Xingkong was also moved by the system's words.
Yes, I've prepared so much, I have to give it a try.
"That's right. Whether it succeeds or not, we have to try. It's not my style to say it can't be done without even trying."
"Let's go back."
Li Xingkong retrieved the system, then activated his magic, and the Moonlight Record's activity reappeared, returning him to the correct point in time.
"According to Wan Chongshan's calculations, the Deep River Dragon Clan suffered its calamity around... this place."
Li Xingkong pushed the timeline forward a bit and estimated the approximate time point.
"Alright, alright, let's go then. That's why we came here. Whether it works or not, we have to give it a try."
The system looked excited.
Although they now know that their actions are causing trouble for Wan Chongshan, does that mean they should stop doing it altogether?
Li Xingkong said he wanted to let go of his obsession, while the system said it would only secretly rejoice at the sight of someone causing trouble for Wan Chongshan.
"Okay, let's go then."
Li Xingkong made up his mind and reached out to perform the incantation of the Moonlight Record.
Wan Chongshan's cultivation level is extremely high; there's absolutely no way she wouldn't discover what Li Xingkong and the others are doing.
But since she hasn't shown up even at this point, it can only mean that she has tacitly approved of it.
Who cares, let's go.
The moonlight once again obscured the entire galaxy, and Li Xingkong and the system's figures vanished in a flash.
This time jump was a great success.
The time was right, the place was right, there wasn't even a slight deviation.
Li Xingkong only confirmed the timeline, and then his Divine Sense saw Ji Nanzhi and the others on Earth Star taking over his work, using laboratory equipment to analyze data from the entire Solar System.
His physical body was protected by layers of arrays, allowing him to remain motionless in his cultivation posture.
Wan Chongshan has disappeared without a trace, and everything seems to have returned to normal.
The timing was perfect.
Li Xingkong randomly logged into a Hexagram Server and retrieved the current time information from it.
The disaster for the Deep River Dragon Clan has begun. Their home planet in the Kingdom of Fixed Light has been captured, and their exclusive space has also been invaded.
Only two or three cats, big and small, remained, still running away.
Based on the timeline I knew beforehand, the attacks from those forces should be almost upon Guapilong by now.
Fortunately, there's still a chance.
Li Xingkong swiftly launched his operation, heading towards the Heavenly Palace Above the Clouds located in the Kilometer Arc.
Golden Core cultivators rely on techniques like escape and movement to move within the universe, but Nascent Soul cultivators have no need for such methods.
In the eyes of Nascent Soul cultivator, his physical body in the universe is like a chess piece on a chessboard. The movement of the chess piece can depend on its own actions, but it can also be directly controlled by the player.
Simply lead it and place it wherever you want it to go.
Therefore, in the process of the Nascent Soul making moves, Li Xingkong's physical body completely ignored all real-world obstacles, whether it was distance, rules, or the World Wall that had previously shocked Li Xingkong. All of these were swept aside.
One second they were near Earth Star, the next they landed right next to the Heavenly Palace Above the Clouds.
"Though separated by vast distances, we are as close as a stone's throw away; it's all the same."
Thinking about his current abilities and recalling the hardships he had endured on his journey, Li Xingkong felt that his cultivation had truly not been in vain.
