The Older, the Stronger? The Stronger, the Older!

"The Heavenly Dao is flawed, and creation is incomplete..."

"This is both a flaw and an opportunity."

"Perhaps Hao Jun's choice to hunt down your reincarnation was a predetermined reversal of cause and effect."

When Li Boyang uttered those words, the once unified river of history immediately split into two branches.

One story is about the Heavenly Emperor Hao Jun hunting down the reincarnation of the Netherworld Lord in his pursuit of immortality.

The other story is about the Heavenly Emperor Hao Jun, in order to escape the history he inhabited, painstakingly ambushed the Netherworld Lord repeatedly tried to stop him.

Located at the intersection of these two timelines, the current Netherworld Lord naturally possesses both types of memories simultaneously.

[Hmm, that's quite a strange experience.]

Rarely revealing a joyful tone, the Netherworld Lord also took the opportunity to revisit history, hoping to make up for his own shortcomings and deficiencies.

These two completely different memories and experiences are the greatest gains of the Netherworld Lord on this trip.

Is this the power of time?

Once again quietly retreating into the background, the Netherworld Lord's gaze passed over the [Heaven and Earth Black and Yellow Exquisite Pagoda] and landed on the [Jade Disc of Creation].

This artifact is a marvel that reshaped the entire Long River of Time.

The Netherworld Lord was eager to see just how far Li Boyang could unleash its power.

"Then you just wait and see!"

A faint smile appeared on Li Boyang's lips, and the [Jade Disc of Creation] in his hand shone with dazzling light at that moment.

If we compare the Long River of Time to a real river...

Therefore, the Long River of Time in the past is undoubtedly a great river flowing in a unified direction.

Looking at the future direction of this Long River of Time, it is a complex network of waterways composed of countless tiny streams.

Those complex waterways branch off to the east and west, some even flowing upstream.

They symbolize countless possibilities for the future, representing endless parallel universes derived from the present moment.

--The future is uncertain; anything can happen.

However, when Li Boyang took the initiative to intervene in those endless possibilities...

The creation of the [Jade Disc of Creation] became an inevitable event on countless parallel timelines.

It's as if an invisible hand grasps the "present" and then uses the "present" as a starting point to plan for the "future."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just like the Heavenly Emperor Hao Jun of the past.

Li Boyang's domineering actions naturally provoked resistance from the powerful individuals born in the future.

However, they were different from the Heavenly Emperor, Hao Jun.

These future powerhouses did not dominate the mainstream of Long River of Time.

They are merely one possibility arising from the current point in time, and not even the mainstream possibility.

Therefore, Li Boyang easily suppressed their interference with the Long River of Time.

Then, the birth of the [Jade Disc of Creation] serves as the starting point.

The "Three Hun and Seven Po System" has also appeared in countless possibilities for the future.

Regardless of what happens in those futures, and regardless of whether they are real parallel universes.

The "Three Hun and Seven Po System" is like the primordial Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi itself, something that has existed since time immemorial.

Furthermore, as time goes by, the more powerful beings are born from the "Three Hun and Seven Po System," the more solid its foundation becomes.

When there are enough of these powerful beings, any entity that attempts to overturn the "Three Hun and Seven Po System" will be making an enemy of these powerful beings.

Thus, those originally complex future timelines now have a unified direction of flow.

Although a few exceptions may have slipped through the net, those occasional discrepancies in timelines are no longer capable of affecting the overall trajectory of Long River of Time.

To be honest, if it weren't for the Heavenly Emperor Hao Jun standing in the Long River of Time in the past...

Li Boyang even wanted to shift the birth time of the "Three Hun and Seven Po System" to the past to further strengthen the binding force of this system.

"Do you think I've set a bad precedent?"

He gripped the [Jade Disc of Creation] tightly in his hand.

After completing the initial analysis of the Long River of Time, Li Boyang suddenly asked a question, seemingly lost in thought.

[Bad head?]

A slightly confused voice sounded in Li Boyang's ear.

The Netherworld Lord was observing the entire Long River of Time, clearly did not quite understand Li Boyang's words.

According to the observations of the Netherworld Lord, Li Boyang's actions in organizing the Long River of Time clearly made the world more orderly and the future more prosperous.

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Boyang's actions at this moment have a strong symbolic meaning.

There was an era before the creation of the [Jade Disc of Creation].

The birth of the [Jade Disc of Creation] ushered in a new era.

In this new era, the past, present, and future are intertwined in an extremely complex way.

This intertwining transcends timelines and crosses parallel universes, allowing powerful figures from all eras to see the path ahead for the Great Heavenly Deity.

We no longer pursue ultimate strength.

Instead, it allows oneself to transcend the river of time and avoid being swept away by the torrent of history.

Otherwise, what good is it to be powerful in one's own era, even powerful enough to destroy the world?

In the grand scheme of things, it was nothing more than Udumbara Flower Long River of Time.

--From pursuing numerical values to pursuing mechanics.

Li Boyang's actions changed the entire world, and this change was a complete transformation from the past, present, and future.

Even though those transcendent beings knew that there was an existence above them who wielded the [Jade Disc of Creation], it didn't prevent them from seeing a higher limit of power.

"Before today, the Long River of Time was merely an illusory concept."

Even beings as powerful as you and I, capable of overturning the world, can only influence an era.

Taking a deep breath, Li Boyang quickly composed himself and continued his explanation.

"But after today, time becomes a real and undeniable torrent."

"The strongest figures of every era, after transcending time, will inevitably prevent other strong figures from crossing timelines and annihilating them when they are at their weakest."

"Therefore, they must constantly revise their origins, pushing their birth date back further..."

"In this way, the stronger the being, the more ancient they are, and the more ancient they are, the more powerful they become."

Without interrupting Li Boyang, the Netherworld Lord listened thoughtfully to Li Boyang's description of the future.

"If time were to rewind to the Opening Heaven and Earth, to the moment the world was created, what do you think this world would be like?"

"An immortal being who has existed since time immemorial suppresses all living beings?"

"The first powerful being to travel back to the Opening Heaven and Earth of time, blocking all paths for those who followed?"

"Or do you believe that I will definitely be able to stay true to myself in the future and won't become the one who blocks the path of all those who come after me?"

Li Boyang's soliloquy made the Netherworld Lord fall into deep thought.

But He quickly realized that Li Boyang wasn't the type to regret things and then reflect on his actions only when things came to a head.

What else do you want to do!?
