Chapter 1066: Chapter 1064: One Billion Two Hundred Ninety-Six Million Years Ago 2
Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
The Dream-Making Expert
The Heaven-Abandoning Emperor descended from the heavens, landing amid the Vast Snow Mountains.
Li Qizi, who was fishing, detected the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor’s aura, and was instantly delighted. He hurriedly rose and headed straight for him.
He was still midair.
Wan Teng and Gao Tianyou, who had likewise sensed the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor’s aura, also rushed over.
And so.
Apart from the Old Man of the Moon, who had to remain in the Xuantian Macrocosm to guide the way for the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.
The members of the Nine Spirits of the Dream Bubble Shadow who had returned to the past alongside the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor had all gathered.
Wan Teng took the lead, and looking at the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor who had appeared, first cupped his hands and called him Little Martial-Uncle, then immediately asked with a solemn expression.
“May I ask, Little Martial-Uncle.”
“Has something happened to Lord Xinling?”
“We suddenly lost contact with him.”
“This matter, I have already investigated. It should be that a Supreme has acted to sever our cross-temporal communication through Lord Xinling.”
The Heaven-Abandoning Emperor answered at once.
“But rest assured, I have already received accurate news.”
“He is currently in no great danger.”
“It is only that for a time, he may be subjected to a Supreme’s seal and suppression.”
“I am also thinking of a way to rescue him.”
“But for now, there is no particularly good method.”
Learning from the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor’s mouth that the Sixth Heavenly Mandate, Shiguang Xinling, had suffered suppression and sealing at the hands of a Supreme.
Wan Teng and the other two all changed expression.
Li Qizi was even more furious. “Damned Supremes! To actually use such despicable means!”
Hearing Li Qizi’s almost childish outburst.
The Heaven-Abandoning Emperor suppressed the urge to curse him out, and nodded.
“Indeed, the Supremes truly have no sense of propriety, to bully the small with the great and strike at Lord Xinling in secret.”
“Simply devoid of martial virtue.”
“But this also serves as a warning to us.”
“The Supremes are despicable and shameless, but we cannot ignore that They may be driven to desperate measures and strike at us directly.”
“Lord Xinling is already a cautionary tale. We should learn from it.”
“So I have decided to temporarily slow our cooperation with the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm, and shift our focus to the expansion of the Lord God’s Space.”
“Come to think of it, I had somewhat put the cart before the horse earlier.”
“After all, the Old Man sent us to this past precisely in the hope that we could accumulate strength from history.”
“To create the conditions for the Old Man to lead the Lord God’s Space in a counterattack in the future.”
Hearing the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor’s words, Wan Teng raised an eyebrow without showing it, and glanced at Li Qizi and Gao Tianyou.
Li Qizi and Gao Tianyou looked thoughtful, and said in unison to the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor.
“Peerless.”
“However you want us to cooperate, just say the word.”
“Then this Young Master will first offer a modest proposal, and speak of my current plans.”
The Heaven-Abandoning Emperor spoke in a low voice.
“First, the War Between Heaven and Man between the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm and the Five Supreme Forces.”
“We should not intervene too much.”
“Especially now, when Lord Xinling is no longer here to transmit messages across time and space.”
“Our control over the future is all but gone.”
“Under these circumstances, it is very difficult to use information from the future to act in this past.”
“So our focus can only temporarily shift to the expansion of the Lord God’s Space.”
“Come to think of it, we should have done this long ago.”
“After all, with those Supremes having gone to the Origin Era and planted the roots of the Dream Bubble Shadow into the origin of the Myriad Realms.”
“We already have a foundation for spreading and expanding the Lord God’s Space in any time and space throughout the history of the Myriad Realms.”
“So next, the promotion and expansion of the Lord God’s Space should not pose too great a problem.”
“Even if we cannot truly manifest the Lord God’s Space into this past history.”
“At the very least, we can make all living beings aware of and understand the existence of the Lord God’s Space.”
“Under those conditions.”
“By the time the Lord God’s Space is truly born, many powerful experts should seek it out by reputation and become Reincarnators.”
The chaotic flow of time meant that the Lord God’s Space currently could not cross the River of Time and truly manifest itself in this Word-Spirit Macrocosm of Twelve Billion Nine Hundred and Sixty Million Years Ago.
To directly recruit Reincarnators.
But as the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor had said.
Because of the roots of the Dream Bubble Shadow planted by the Supremes in the origin of the Myriad Realms.
The Lord God’s Space was no longer a tree without roots or water without a source, a completely illusory existence.
At the very least, it could become a true legend that, though temporarily impossible to truly contact, could genuinely be detected.
And as long as they kept spreading this legend.
Then by the day the Lord God’s Space was truly born.
Naturally, it would no longer face the same resistance and suspicion from the powerful as it once had.
To put it plainly.
In the future, many of the Myriad Realms’ powerful experts might well have grown up hearing the legends of the Lord God’s Space.
Cashing in on a wave of nostalgia. Nothing shameful about it.
“This matter indeed should have been done long ago.”
“It is not particularly troublesome either.”
“And you are right. Our current strength is indeed not suited for participating too deeply in the war between the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm and the Five Supreme Forces.”
“Is there anything else?”
“Do you have other ideas?”
Wan Teng nodded, acknowledging what the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor had said, and pressed further.
“There is naturally one more thing that must be solved first.”
“That is, we must think of a way to re-establish contact with Lin Qi in the future.”
“After all, you all know.”
“This Young Master is formidable in a fight, but when it comes to strategizing and plotting schemes, it still has to be the Old Man and the others.”
The Heaven-Abandoning Emperor spoke with a helpless expression.
“Originally, I wanted to find the Old Man of the Moon.”
“After all, the Old Man of the Moon has the favor of the Xuantian Macrocosm’s Heavenly Dao.”
“Although I heard that the River of Time originally opened by the Xuantian Macrocosm was also shattered by the Supremes.”
“The Xuantian Macrocosm’s Heavenly Dao still remains.”
“Given the relationship between the Old Man of the Moon and the Xuantian Macrocosm’s Heavenly Dao, it could still let the Xuantian Macrocosm’s Heavenly Dao help pass a message.”
“Even if we receive no reply, at least we can let the Old Man and the others understand our current predicament.”
“But as you know, the Old Man of the Moon and that fellow Heaven-Abandoning Emperor also have an ambiguous relationship.”
“I am a little uneasy about it.”
“So it would be best if we sent someone ourselves to deliver a message to the Old Man.”
The Heaven-Abandoning Emperor said this, his gaze sweeping over Wan Teng and the other two one by one, his face full of conflict and hesitation.
“How about you go, Wan Teng?”
“This Young Master can go talk to Princess Longji, and see if you can head to the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm and quietly await the right moment to reunite with the Old Man.”
Wan Teng fell silent, and only after a long while did he answer.
“The Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm has now completely sealed itself off to resist the chaos of time and space.”
“So there is no need to go find Princess Longji.”
“They will not agree.”
“Then we can only find another macrocosm, hide our names, withdraw from worldly affairs, follow the passage of time, and see whether we can break through the isolated time and space to reach the time and space where the Old Man is.”
The Heaven-Abandoning Emperor said with a sigh.
“That is indeed feasible.”
“But Wan Teng is not the best choice.”
“Let me go instead.”
Li Qizi volunteered, with a self-mocking smile.
“I cannot help much anyway, aside from fishing.”
“Wan Teng is different. He can help you.”
“I will go. Lao Qi might not be able to endure the loneliness and run off fishing, leaking word and exposing our tracks. I am different. I will find a place to enter secluded cultivation, and no one will discover me.”
Gao Tianyou also spoke up.
The Heaven-Abandoning Emperor immediately said.
“The two of you, do not argue yet.”
“Hear me out first.”
“In theory, the best method is naturally for one of us to abandon this body and directly attempt to return to our own era.”
“But under the current circumstances, if we return, it will be a one-way ticket.”
“So we must carry back as much information as possible.”
“And we must guard against a possible interception and kill by a Supreme.”
“So the person chosen to deliver the message will very likely have to wait indefinitely, until the most suitable opportunity to truly return to the time and space we came from.”
“And to avoid being intercepted and killed by a Supreme, they must hide their name.”
“So think it over carefully.”
“This journey may mean waiting in vain for many years.”
“Many years that could be a hundred thousand years, a million years, or even a hundred million years.”
“Haha. Surely it will not be twelve billion nine hundred and sixty million years!”
Faced with the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor’s solemn reminder, Li Qizi instead laughed heartily. Seeing that the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor said nothing.
Li Qizi frowned. “Do we really have to wait that long?”
“The Supremes have already struck at Lord Xinling.”
“Even Lord Xinling, who has already fused with the Law of Time, could not escape the Supremes’ suppression.”
“So I cannot guarantee whether They will act again upon detecting that we wish to cross time and space to deliver a message to the Old Man.”
“So the safest method is naturally not to sacrifice oneself to cross time and space and return, but to arrive alive in the time and space we came from.”
“Only by not traversing time and space can one remain undetected.”
The Heaven-Abandoning Emperor said seriously.
“So in the worst case, it may truly require waiting in vain for twelve billion nine hundred and sixty million years.”
At these words, all fell silent.
Only after a long while did Li Qizi raise his hand again.
“Then it seems only I can go.”
“Old Gao cannot remain in seclusion for that long.”
“Wan Teng, you too would most likely be unable to resist doing something to pass the time.”
“Peerless, there is no need to even mention you. In a fight, you have plenty of endurance, but making you sit for twelve billion nine hundred and sixty million years would be the death of you.”
“I am still the most suitable.”
“When bored, I can even secretly fish to stave off loneliness.”
“Lao Qi.”
Gao Tianyou was about to try to dissuade him.
Li Qizi picked up his fishing rod and waved his hand.
“Enough, it is decided.”
“Do not ask me which macrocosm I will go to. Even if you ask, I will not say.”
“You all decide on a hidden location for the message.”
“Twelve billion nine hundred and sixty million years from now, I will go retrieve it.”
“Ah, do not all look at me like that.”
“Just work hard, and do not let me really wait that long.”
“And come to think of it, I am even coming out ahead.”
“After all, I should not need to worry about being suppressed and sealed by those damned Supremes like Lord Xinling.”
“That goes without saying. This Young Master guarantees it!”
The Heaven-Abandoning Emperor said at once.
Wan Teng seemed about to speak but held back, and did not try to dissuade him further.
Only before Li Qizi departed alone, he secretly transmitted his voice.
“Do not trust him completely.”
“Wait for my notice at any time.”
Li Qizi did not answer. He picked up his pack and left alone.
He understood Wan Teng’s meaning.
It was nothing more than the suspicion they had discussed before.
The suspicion that the Peerless Young Master before them was neither Peerless nor Lin Qi, but that cunning old schemer with a Rebel Bone, the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor.
But it no longer mattered.
What mattered was that he could break free from the constraints he had always been under, and try to do certain things.
Certain things he had always brooded over, and had long wanted to do.
