Nezha's Disappearance

Countless fleeting glimpses flew by.

As a being with an unimaginably long lifespan, Nezha's lifespan is terrifyingly long.

The long lifespan brought countless memories, and even though Nezha's mind was as simple as a young boy's, these memories remained in the other person's mind.

With the help of Yao Yuanguang's physiognomy skills, Zhang Xuezhou could already see scenes from a thousand years ago in his gaze.

It all started with a peculiar bead.

As if forged into a weapon of the human world, Nezha began to stir up trouble in the short years after his birth, killing the Dragon Prince, shooting the Heaven-Shaking Arrow from afar, and causing one disaster after another.

Ordinary people couldn't protect Nezha at all, not even a general like Li Guang who commanded troops in a region.

Zhang Xuezhou could see Nezha die by cutting off his own body to settle old scores, and he also saw the immortals reshape Nezha's body and bestow upon him heavy treasures that armed him to the teeth.

Nezha went on to be unstoppable, killing gods and Buddhas alike, and participated in the Immortal Court's overthrow of the human emperor's dynasty.

With his exceptionally unique body, immune to numerous demons and monsters' Incantation Technique, and possessing powerful treasures, Nezha killed many great cultivators, almost becoming the most conspicuous figure in the overthrow of the Human Emperor's court.

This high level of exposure also brought high risks to Nezha, and the subsequent targeting never stopped.

It wasn't until batches of cultivators who longed for the Human Emperor's dynasty died of old age that Nezha was freed from this targeting.

But the story of Nezha was not over.

The scenario of "the rabbit is killed once the hunt is over" has begun to unfold.

When external threats were gone, Nezha's immature nature made it difficult for him to coexist among adult immortals, and he caused one trouble after another.

Everyone had been lenient with him before because the Immortal Court needed Nezha from the outside world.

But when the Immortal Court didn't need to deal with external affairs, Nezha became superfluous, not to mention the various troubles he brought.

Among the immortals most hated by the Immortal Court, Nezha tops the list.

No one likes a neighbor who is likely to cause a lot of trouble. If it weren't for Nezha's great strength, the intervention of his biological father Li Tianwang, and the fact that the powerful figures behind Nezha's master turned a blind eye, they would definitely have driven Nezha away.

But there have been many incidents targeting Nezha.

Nezha was eventually stripped of all his official positions.

However, when some immortals plotted against Nezha, the Zhou Dynasty, supported by the Immortal Court, collapsed.

This led to the Immortal Court needing a character with fierce fighting power like Nezha once again.

Having learned his lesson once, Nezha would never again be the center of attention. He followed the principles that Jinxia Yuanjun had instructed him to follow: first, delay; second, distract; and third, contribute manpower but not effort. He even set a 'good example' for some other powerful cultivators who were also being targeted. The Immortal Court never managed to control the Great Dynasty again, and it has continued to this day ever since.

As immortals aged and died, the Immortal Court underwent constant changes, and what the future held was a matter of great concern to the Golden Cloud Primordial Lady.

"I have so many memories!"

Zhang Xuezhou had previously only skimmed through Ling Yu and the others' memories like fragments, feeling that the time it lasted was only a few minutes.

At this moment, Zhang Xuezhou felt as if he had watched at least a four-hour movie.

To enter the second half, one must go through the prelude, which is the gaze they cannot escape after the procedure.

Zhang Xuezhou felt things were going badly, and he hoped that Yao Yuanguang's magical Law Power could hold on.

After reviewing Nezha's various memories, Zhang Xuezhou quickly grasped the ancient history aspects that he lacked, as if he were taking a quick look.

He even saw the appearance of the Human Emperor from a thousand years ago, as well as Jiang Shang, who led the Immortal Court to overthrow the Human Dynasty, and was also involved with various great immortals of the Immortal Court.

This kind of cramming knowledge is undoubtedly more complete than the knowledge he gains from consulting ancient books.

Although it's unclear what significant use it will have, it has at least enriched his experience.

As Zhang Xuezhou pondered, he suddenly heard Yao Yuanguang's voice in his ear.

"Keep your mind focused; I need you to glimpse the future of the Third Prince!"

Yao Yuanguang recited in a low voice, and Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but listen attentively.

"It's a reverse Person-Fixing Technique!"

Just as fossilization can turn soil into stone when applied in a positive direction, it can also turn stone into soil when applied in a negative direction.

These two Technique Method are not compatible, but they share similar underlying principles.

Positively Person-Fixing Technique peer into the past, while negatively Person-Fixing Technique peer into the future.

As he murmured to himself, Zhang Xuezhou felt a bright light before his eyes, like a dazzling galaxy streaking across the sky, with countless points of light beginning to shine in the world they were observing.

When Zhang Xuezhou stared intently at a point of light, he saw his own image appear within it.

"Brother, you're awake! Come and eat some black-boned chicken!"

When he opened his eyes, Zhang Manqian's voice came from the monitor.

"This isn't the light spot for Nezha. My Law Power power is limited; quickly look for others!"

It has to be said that peeking into the future is indeed interesting, and Zhang Xuezhou is very curious about what he will be doing in the next period of time.

However, he realized that Yao Yuanguang could use his vision to see in the same way, which made Zhang Xuezhou have no intention of revealing his secrets.

He quickly withdrew from the fragment of his own future and focused his gaze on another point of light.

Within this point of light, Yao Yuanguang's pale face and near-death appearance were revealed.

"Let me take another look, sigh!"

The thought of quickly withdrawing came to mind, and Yao Yuanguang let out a deep sigh.

If Yao Yuanguang had known his future fate, he would certainly have had some means to deal with it.

However, he had warned Zhang Xuezhou not to become addicted to it, and when it came to himself, he couldn't help but succumb to temptation.

In the end, reason prevailed over desire. Yao Yuanguang fell silent, forcibly suppressing his thoughts and letting Zhang Xuezhou search there.

This is the river of time, and every fragment of the river of time points to the future.

By constantly flipping through the river of time, each day forward corresponds to a day's lifespan being shortened for the caster's soul; flipping through ten days results in a ten-day shortening of lifespan.

Most fortune tellers have some means of avoiding detection, and Yao Yuanguang is no exception.

What they wanted to look at was not Nezha's future situation a few days or tens of days later, but rather the scene several years, more than ten years, or even decades later.

Only a young person like Zhang Xuezhou could endure this.

Some of the impact will be borne by the ancient tortoise he placed there, and Zhang Xuezhou can barely bear the price he paid. Once he takes the longevity pill, the balance will be basically restored.

"Backwards, and further backwards!"

Each point of light caught Zhang Xuezhou's attention, continuing its journey downstream along the river of time.

Yao Yuanguang felt a heavy weight in his heart. As he looked back, he could hardly find any trace of Yao Yuanguang in the fragments of time that Zhang Xuezhou had glimpsed.

"Non-Self dead?!"

"Or is it that I'm using someone else's body to cast a spell, and that fragments of my own time are extremely rare in the river of time!"

"In truth, this spell might not have succeeded, after all, Dongfang Shuo also saw fragments of another young man's future!"

"The spellcasting must have gone awry!"

"Ultimately, this chaotic situation is due to my lack of Divine Ability powers and the Third Prince's excessively high cultivation level!"

"I should be fine, and I must be fine!"

Yao Yuanguang's mind raced with a thousand thoughts until Zhang Xuezhou suddenly stopped as he flipped through the pages, then exhaled a cold breath and quickly looked over.

"The Third Prince is dead!"

When another ray of light appeared, Nezha stared wide-eyed at the sky. His Fire-Tipped Spear had fallen to the ground, and one of his Wind-Fire Wheels was missing. Several other treasures had also shattered and fallen around him.

In this fragment of time, Nezha died.

As he flipped through the pages again, Zhang Xuezhou saw that his own fragments still remained in the river of time, but Nezha's fragments were gone.
