My Name Is Li Xuandu

"What... happened?"

The same question came from Xiao Gui, and she understood it far better than Wood Guest and Da Xiao.

Even at their peak, those Ancient God might not be a match for Li Jingshu.

Not to mention these afterimages from ten thousand years ago, whose strength might not even be one percent of that of a true Ancient God.

Therefore, Xiao Gui never worried about her and Li Jingshu's safety.

What worried her more was that Li Jingshu's reckless behavior might reactivate the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow, leading to a series of unexpected consequences.

As it turns out, Xiao Gui's concerns were never unfounded.

As Li Jingshu slew the remnants of those Ancient God one by one, the past scenes that should have been replayed and repeated came to a standstill.

However, this does not mean that the afterimages within the Startled Spirit Valley have completely disappeared.

Conversely, while the remnants of the Ancient God battlefield from ten thousand years ago have disappeared, some even more bizarre and strange scenes have begun to appear in the Startled Spirit Valley.

It's as if the timeline of Startled Spirit Valley has become disordered.

Fleeting glimpses of scenes from other timelines and worldlines flashed by in the Startled Spirit Valley.

As for why Xiao Gui is so certain of this?

That's because the afterimages that appear at this moment are basically different manifestations that evolved from Startled Spirit Valley as the core.

Or perhaps the vegetation became more lush, giving rise to a vitality completely different from the current state of the canyon.

Or perhaps the entire canyon was completely leveled, and buildings were erected that Xiao Gui didn't recognize at all.

Or perhaps a wide avenue appears out of nowhere, with various "Bronze Beast chariots" that are clearly more exquisite and complex traveling along it.

All sorts of things, strange and bizarre.

By the time Li Jingshu realized something was wrong, even some afterimages had noticed what was happening.

They come from the past, the future, or other different timelines, but without exception, they all cast curious glances toward the current point in time.

Because in the era in which they lived, Li Jingshu and Xiao Gui's appearances were also presented as fragments.

"No, this can't go on!"

In a flash, Li Jingshu turned her gaze to the mineral vein below.

Li Jingshu didn't know why the Sun-Shooting Arrow could interfere with the timeline, but she knew it was definitely not a good thing.

In particular, when Li Jingshu noticed that some unfamiliar afterimages seemed to recognize her, their eyes widened in astonishment or ecstasy.

Although these afterimages account for less than one in a billion of the total number, and are only Udumbara Flower.

But who knows if they will, like those Ancient God remnants, traverse the Long River of Time and interfere with the timeline.

I'll show you the way!

In perfect unison, Xiao Gui, who was almost of one mind with Li Jingshu, immediately raised her voice and shouted.

The next second, a giant shadow spider reappeared.

This time, the Shadow Spider, its powers enhanced, burrowed underground and rushed towards the direction where it had disappeared previously.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Jingshu gripped her twin pistols and used the Sun and Moon Twin Wheels to clear the way ahead.

Sizzle sizzle...

The rapidly rotating Sun and Moon Twin Wheels cut through the strata and turned over the soil.

The powerful attraction and repulsion worked together, and soon the giant shadow spider was seen again.

As for the damage this behavior caused to Startled Spirit Valley?

Since Li Jingshu had already decided to retrieve the Sun-Shooting Arrow, she naturally wouldn't care about such a trivial matter.

"There it is!"

In a short while, Li Jingshu followed the shadow spider to the designated location.

Sure enough, in the center of that giant mineral vein, there stood a divine arrow with a golden head and a white shaft, which had remained uncorrupted for thousands of years.

Then, just like those shadow spiders that had scouted ahead before.

A flash of golden light disappeared in an instant, and the shadow spider vanished without a trace.

Only Li Jingshu, protected by the Sun and Moon Twin Wheels, was spared from the radiation damage of the golden light.

"So it's the power of the sun; no wonder it so effectively suppresses my shadow."

Although it was expected, Xiao Gui still couldn't help but exclaim in amazement after understanding the true nature of the golden light.

"Now is not the time for sentimentality!"

His eyes were fixed intently on the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow.

Li Jingshu saw more afterimages flash past her as the center.

Those were all discovered on different timelines, revealing the formidable existence of this Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow.

Some of them, like Li Jingshu, discovered the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow by fortuitous opportunity.

However, some were chosen by the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow because they met certain criteria.

However, regardless of how they appeared here, they were all staring intently at the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow.

Spanning countless timelines, the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow seems to be choosing its master anew in this way.

"The divine arrow chooses its master?"

"My brother stopped telling me these kinds of stories a long time ago!"

With Li Boyang's divination results flashing through her mind, Li Jingshu once again urged the Sun and Moon Twin Wheels forward.

Li Jingshu, who prides herself on inheriting all of Li Boyang's mantle, has never believed in the idea of divine arrows choosing their masters or Heavenly Mandate being predetermined.

Her past life and experiences have taught her that as long as you are strong, you are your own Heavenly Mandate.

Tumultuous!

It was clear that he sensed Li Jingshu's determination and ferocity.

The Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow shone brightly once more, and countless beings from other timelines simultaneously took a step forward.

Unfortunately, this single step alone deterred countless candidates.

Those with weaker strength all disappeared, and only a few of the remaining afterimages were those who, like Li Jingshu, had forced their way forward.

Step two, step three...

With each step forward, the number of afterimages around Li Jingshu decreased.

When they were about to touch the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow, only a few afterimages, including Li Jingshu's, were still able to barely maintain their original form and not retreat.

Among them were giants with bulging muscles, solemn and majestic saints, and monsters with faces full of resentment.

Boom!

They exist on different timelines, yet subtly come into contact with the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow at the same moment.

Li Jingshu was the first to be repelled, and those who followed her disappeared one after another, some with sighs, some with regret, some with incomprehension, and some with resentment.

In the end, the one who was able to stand before the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow was a bewildered young man.

The young man was dressed in a simple Bagua robe, which covered his entire body completely.

Even when he realized he had become the final "winner," the boy still had an incredulous look on his face.

Immediately afterward, under Li Jingshu's incredulous gaze, the young man pulled out a Bagua Compass that she knew all too well.

"That's your compass!?"

Having also noticed this scene, Xiao Gui instinctively exclaimed in surprise.

Then they saw the young man resolutely reach out his hand towards the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow, and at the same time, he made a sound.

My Li Xuandu!
