"Oh? What's wrong that even Junior Brother Ye can't handle?"
Upon hearing the report from the staff of Bureau 749, Lu Li's expression froze.
It should be noted that Ye Chenfeng is currently second only to him in the Great Xia Dao Court.
Although he was only First-Transcendence Human Immortal, he was originally a Sword Immortal and possessed formidable combat power.
If even he can't solve it, then there must be a problem.
With this in mind, Lu Li, along with Crimson Crow, instantly left the cultivation room.
When they reappeared, they were already inside the command center of Bureau 749.
Li Qingshan and the others were gathered in the hall at this moment.
Upon seeing Lu Li appear, everyone quickly gathered around him.
"Comrade Lu Li, something's happened!"
Li Qingshan's expression was serious.
What happened?
Lu Li frowned and asked.
"We've just received news that one of our outpost interstellar bases on the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy has lost contact."
"Both Comrade Dahai and Comrade Ye Chenfeng rushed over, but..."
"Strangely, even Comrade Ye Chenfeng couldn't get close to this interstellar base within a radius of a hundred million miles!"
"And according to the message he sent back... that outpost interstellar base, along with the adjacent Andromeda Galaxy, has been trapped in a strange array."
Li Qingshan recounted what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Lu Li frowned slightly, a hint of suspicion rising in his heart for some reason.
"Very well, I'll go and see for myself."
Lu Li No Distance in the Great Desolation Heaven; rather than guessing, it's better to go and see for yourself.
It took Ye Chenfeng and his group quite a bit of effort to reach this outpost interstellar base.
They used interstellar teleportation arrays and the speed of Human Immortal to traverse the starry sky.
This alone took half a month.
Lu Li reach this interstellar outpost in an instant.
After knowing the detailed coordinates.
Lu Li raised his hand and put Crimson Crow, who was still curiously looking around the command hall, back into the Blessed Land.
Next, activate the No Distance attack.
"Buzz!"
A sickening buzzing sound filled the air.
Lu Li's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
The surrounding environment transformed into ripples on the water, retreating at a speed that even immortals could hardly comprehend.
About one ten-thousandth of a breath later.
His true form appeared in a vast and beautiful starry sky.
At this moment, several familiar figures stood in the starry sky.
"Son! You've come!"
"Senior brother."
" Dao Lord!"
"Greetings, Dao Lord!"
The four figures were Lu Dahai, Ye Chenfeng, Yinyang Qingfan, and Elder Jian.
They are also among the few remaining immortal combatants in the Great Xia Dao Court.
Several people stood amidst the starry sky.
Before them lay a vast expanse of water, its surface rippling indescribable.
It was like someone throwing a stone into a pool of water.
The ripples lingered, hovering in the air for a long time.
"Hmm, what's going on?"
Lu Li briefly greeted the group.
His gaze fell upon Yinyang Qingfan and Ye Chenfeng.
If even the two of them can't explain the current situation...
Something is definitely amiss.
"This... according to Comrade Azure Mountains, there should have been a star here."
"The star was the Great Xia's outpost, but now... that outpost, along with the star itself, has vanished!"
"Disappeared? It's related to these ripples. Can you tell what it is?"
Hearing Yinyang Qingfan's hesitant tone, Lu Li asked directly.
"This..."
" The River of Time!"
"This is just like ripples on the River of Time!"
Ye Chenfeng picked up the conversation and replied to Lu Li with a confident tone.
What he said surprised both Yinyang Qingfan slightly.
"Ripples in the River of Time?"
"How... how did I end up here?!"
"I don't know, but I have seen a similar ripple once before."
"At that time, a celestial city in the Immortal Realm was covered by these ripples. According to the people in the city, thousands of years had passed within it afterward."
"But from an outsider's perspective, it's only been a few days!"
Ye Chenfeng's tone was slightly serious.
The appearance of ripples in the River of Time in the Great Desolation Heaven is quite special.
After all, such miraculous things never happen without reason.
It's highly likely that someone did this intentionally.
Even Lu Li had a vague sense of unease.
He subconsciously wanted to probe his divine sense into the ripples.
Just as his divine sense was about to invade that ripple...
The ripples in front of me suddenly trembled.
Then it spread outwards at an extremely fast speed.
One meter, ten meters, one thousand meters, ten thousand miles, one million miles!
In the blink of an eye, it instantly spread to the limit of Lu Li and the others' divine sense range.
And it is still growing at a phenomenal rate.
"This... this is not good!"
"The ripples of time have been activated!"
"Watch out, we're all about to be dragged into the River of Time!"
Ye Chenfeng's voice was filled with shock as he suddenly realized what was happening.
Yinyang Qingfan's expression changed accordingly.
Lu Dahai and Elder Jian were still unaware of what had happened.
Lu Li's eyes flashed, and in an instant, he pulled the group into the Blessed Land, then activated his No Distance Movement ability, attempting to leap away from the ripples.
A terrifying thing happened: no matter how fast Lu Li moved, the ripples would move just as fast.
Even if he were to return to the Great Xia or arrive at the border of the Great Desolation Heaven, Ripple would still follow closely behind him.
Such speed made Lu Li leap.
"Could it be that... the entire Great Desolation Heaven has been covered by the ripples of this River of Time?!"
Lu Li was still confused about what had happened.
Sudden!
A vast, clear, and indifferent voice suddenly resounded from among the endless stars.
The sound was powerful and oppressive.
It seemed to tremble directly throughout the entire Great Desolation Heaven.
Not only Lu Li, but all living beings in the entire Great Xia heard this vast sound.
"I, the Jade Balance Immortal Court, the Lord Wandi Zhaoming Zhenhuan, now request the Emperor Venerable Creation Supreme Treasure, the Wheel of Temporal Light!"
"Drawing upon the River of Time, covering the Great Desolation, and initiating the Imperial Discourse."
" Within the Great Desolation Heaven, all beings, whether immortals or mortals, enter this river."
"Within ten thousand years, explore ancient ruins, vanquish wicked villains, and seek divine opportunities; whatever is gained will be transformed into merit."
"Those who achieve great merit, I hereby report to Emperor Venerable Emperor Lord, who bestows upon you a wisp of your Emperor Lord Origin, allowing you to skip a lifetime of arduous cultivation and directly attain the status of Immortal Venerable."
Those who achieve minor merit will receive no official titles or rewards; they will earn their own living through their own efforts.
"This discussion is set for a period of ten thousand years, beginning the moment the river thaws. We urge all beings to exert themselves and not waste this opportunity."
" Imperial Discourse... Begins!"
This mighty sound resounded in the ears of countless creatures in the Great Desolation Heaven.
The ripples of River of Time eventually covered the entire Great Desolation.
Even the Great Desolation Heavenly Dao was drawn out by this anomaly, displaying its heavenly might, seemingly in displeasure.
However, this Great Desolation Heaven did not last long before it was suppressed by seven other equally powerful heavenly powers.
In the end, they could only silently retreat.
As for Lu Li and the others, they also realized what had happened in an instant.
Lu Li's eyes trembled violently, and his heart trembled.
He never imagined that the place where Ji Wan started the Imperial Discourse would actually be the entire Great Desolation!
Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat.
"This is... coming for me!"
