Chapter 1096: Chapter 1094: The Isolated Past of Dream Bubble Shadow 2

Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators

The Dream-Making Expert

Faced with Gao Tianyou's bowing request, the Holy Son of Qingyang gave no response. He merely said to the clansmen beside him.

"Go and contact the others."

"See whether this Time-Reversing Journey truly succeeded."

"Were more clansmen saved?"

The clansmen beside him nodded, then hurriedly used their various means to contact the others, wanting to know whether they had just been deceived, or had truly returned to the past of the Lord God's Space through the Seventh Commandment: the River of Time.

Soon, the results came back.

"Holy Son, good news."

"We succeeded."

"Though we could not save all our clansmen."

"At least half of them successfully escaped that calamity of back then, and have lived out a Second Life in the Lord God's Space."

"Do you want to…"

"You go on ahead. Once I finish talking with Fellow Daoist Gao here, I will come find you."

The Holy Son of Qingyang felt as though a heavy weight had lifted from him. After signaling for the clansmen to leave first, he looked at the Gao Tianyou before him and said softly.

"Fellow Daoist Gao."

"The River of Time truly exists."

"Naturally it does."

Gao Tianyou nodded.

At this moment, suspended above the Dream Bubble Shadow and running through the past, present, and future of the Lord God's Space, the River of Time had been transformed from Li Qizi's life.

Naturally, it could not be fake.

Seeing that Gao Tianyou did not seem to understand his meaning, the Holy Son of Qingyang spoke again.

"Since this River of Time is real."

"Then why did you never detect it before?"

As for the Holy Son of Qingyang's cultivation realm, he did not dare claim he could fully comprehend the mysteries of the River of Time.

But just now, with the aid of the River of Time, they had changed the originally tragic past of the Green Emperor Clan.

Though they could not change the Heavenly Demon Calamity stirred up by Qing Yuanzi in the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm of reality.

Even if the Seventh Commandment: the River of Time existed only within the Lord God's Space, and could not truly alter or influence what had happened in the past Myriad Realms.

Yet even if it was only time-space travel based on the Lord God's Space.

Could it not allow the Lin Qi of the past to detect the future heavenly secrets of the Lord God's Space?

Even if the Lin Qi of the past lacked the strength to roam the Seventh Commandment: the River of Time of the Lord God's Space.

Could the Lin Qi of the present not use the Lord God's Space's Seventh Commandment: the River of Time to tell their past selves?

If they could.

Then the present Lin Qi should not have fallen to the state of a cripple as the legends said.

If they could not.

Then did it not mean that, aside from Lin Qi and the others, someone else was hidden in the shadows, capable of blinding and interfering with the River of Time?

And no matter which of these two possibilities it was.

Both sent a chill through the Holy Son of Qingyang's heart, making him realize that the waters of the Lord God's Space were likely far deeper than anyone imagined.

You speak of Heaven and Earth being undecided, you speak of you and I both being dark horses.

Setting all else aside.

This so-called Seventh Commandment: the River of Time had likely long since been infiltrated into sand by someone.

"I roughly understand your meaning."

"You are curious why we do not use this Seventh Commandment: the River of Time to send down prophecies from the past, so that our past selves would be prepared early and could peer into heavenly secrets."

"It cannot be done."

Gao Tianyou shook his head.

"Because the Dream Bubble Shadow has not yet truly been Refined from the False into the True, this Seventh Commandment: the River of Time has likewise not been completely Refined from the False into the True."

"It lies between illusion and reality."

"For you to use the Seventh Commandment: the River of Time for some inconsequential matters that do not affect the greater picture, that will not draw backlash from the Root of the Great Dream."

"But if we rashly attempt to use the Seventh Commandment: the River of Time to influence and change the Lord God's Space."

"Then we would immediately encounter the distortion and backlash caused by the Supreme Beings in the Origin Era through the Root of the Great Dream."

"Do you think those Supremes stay entrenched in the Origin Era of the Myriad Realms, refusing to leave for so long, for what reason?"

"It is precisely to suppress the time-space influence caused by the Seventh Commandment: the River of Time."

After briefly explaining to the Holy Son of Qingyang the reason Lin Qi and the others could not use the Seventh Commandment: the River of Time to return to the past and reverse the future, Gao Tianyou did not stand on ceremony, and spoke directly.

"Holy Son of Qingyang."

"I have a favor to ask."

"Back then, the Great Power Venerable Qing Yuanzi of your Green Emperor Clan fell into demonhood and devoured the remaining Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors' Legacy Treasures, including the Earth Emperor Book."

"He was later suppressed and taken away by Heavenly Immortal Xuandu."

"Now Heavenly Immortal Xuandu has departed into the past and no longer exists in this world."

"But that group of fallen Heavenly Demons, including Qing Yuanzi, are still suppressed within the Mahayana Court."

"I hope you can accompany me on a trip to the Mahayana Court, and lend me your former resonance with the Crown of the Five Emperors."

"To try whether we can restore and extract from within Qing Yuanzi's body those Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors' Legacy Treasures he devoured."

"And if you can provide some of the secrets you know regarding the Great Wall of Humanity."

"That would naturally be even better."

"Rest assured, I will not waste your time."

"Once the matter is done, there will be ample reward."

Hearing Gao Tianyou's request, the Holy Son of Qingyang's eyes flickered, and he fell into thought.

It was a long while before he finally answered.

"So you wish to gather the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors' Legacy Treasures once more, and make the Great Wall of Humanity manifest in the Dream Bubble Shadow?"

"Could it be that you intend to use the Great Wall of Humanity to replace the Heavenly Dao that may appear within the Dream Bubble Shadow at any moment?"

Gao Tianyou gave a slight nod, with no intent to hide it.

Because Lin Qi had already made it very clear to him before.

This matter was as good as decreed by heaven.

It was the result of a compromise reached in the contest between the Supremes of All Heavens and the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.

There was no need to worry that leaking this matter would draw the Supremes to act and ruin it.

The only trouble instead was how to restore and extract from Qing Yuanzi's body those devoured Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors' Legacy Treasures.

He had already made a trip to the Mahayana Court.

Trying to join forces with several Mahayana Venerables in the Mahayana Court to forcibly restore and extract the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors' Legacy Treasures from within Qing Yuanzi's body.

Unfortunately, he had failed.

Only then had he been forced to seek out the Holy Son of Qingyang.

Trying to find a way through the Holy Son of Qingyang, this rumored chosen successor of the Five Emperors, the one burdened with making the Great Wall of Humanity manifest.

"As long as the Mahayana Court gives the order."

"I will naturally not shirk the duty."

After a moment's thought, the Holy Son of Qingyang cupped his hands and answered.

"My thanks."

"Then there is no time to waste. Come with me to the Mahayana Court."

Gao Tianyou was decisive and swift in action. He immediately led the Holy Son of Qingyang toward the Mahayana Court of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.

…

Mount Xiangji.

Lin Qi, like an old farmer, tilled the fields.

His head was drenched in sweat, his breath heavy.

As his stamina withered, weakness and fatigue spread through him.

Forcing him to stop his labor, drink some water, and mutter to himself.

Sure enough.

Even with the existence of the Seventh Commandment: the River of Time.

I still cannot change the past, nor reverse the future?

I thought that as time passed, as more and more Reincarnators tried to pass through the Seventh Commandment: the River of Time.

I should have been able to intercept heavenly secrets from the past without anyone knowing, and learn of today's predicament.

Thus preparing in advance, secretly dissolving the curse, and regaining my power.

But I never imagined that nothing would change at all.

The Root of the Great Dream.

What kind of Root of the Great Dream did They implant within the origin of the Myriad Realms?

That it could actually isolate the time-space changes that should have come with the descent of the Seventh Commandment: the River of Time.

Or is it that Their isolation of the Era's time-space from the very beginning had already encompassed the River of Time of the Dream Bubble Shadow?

Lin Qi's wisdom burned within his heart.

He deduced the true reason why the past of the Dream Bubble Shadow, which ought to have been connected by the Seventh Commandment: the River of Time, had no effect whatsoever on his present self.

What Gao Tianyou had told the Holy Son of Qingyang.

Was that although the possibility existed that the Supremes of All Heavens, in the Origin Era, through the Root of the Great Dream, had suppressed the time-space influence caused by the Seventh Commandment: the River of Time.

It was not something Lin Qi could accept.

Because if They truly could suppress the Seventh Commandment: the River of Time in the Origin Era through the Root of the Great Dream.

Then that meant that in a time-space he did not know of.

The Supremes of All Heavens had in fact already secretly completed some kind of terrifying infiltration of the Dream Bubble Shadow.

And this was clearly a result that neither Lin Qi nor the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm could accept.

And Lin Qi also did not believe that those Supremes could truly, without anyone knowing, bypass him and the Nine Spirits of the Dream Bubble Shadow — those who had once completely controlled the Dream Bubble Shadow.

And conduct some kind of deep-level infiltrating control of the Dream Bubble Shadow.

So the greatest possibility was still that the past of the Dream Bubble Shadow had been isolated.

It was just that before this, the Seventh Commandment: the River of Time had not yet descended.

However great and unfathomable the Supremes might be.

They should still have been like a clever housewife who cannot cook a meal without rice.

It was impossible to isolate the past within a Dream Bubble Shadow that did not even have a River of Time.

Just as They had no means to isolate the past, present, and future of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.

So if the past of the Dream Bubble Shadow had been isolated.

Then this matter must have occurred after the descent of the Seventh Commandment: the River of Time.

And the person who could accomplish this without anyone knowing.

Aside from those Supremes seated in the origin of the Myriad Realms who had implanted the Root of the Great Dream.

There was actually one other person.

Heaven-Abandoning Emperor, was it you?

You secretly isolated the past of the Dream Bubble Shadow.

But why?

Was it to completely grasp the past of the Dream Bubble Shadow in your hand?

Trying to transform those long five billion six hundred million years you once spent within the Dream Bubble Shadow into the past of the Dream Bubble Shadow?

Mm, this is indeed the sort of thing you would do.

If you truly can connect those five billion six hundred million years that were merely an illusory dream into the ancient history in which the Dream Bubble Shadow exists.

Then on the day the Dream Bubble Shadow is Refined from the False into the True.

You will obtain the terrifying accumulation from those long five billion six hundred million years after they are Refined from the False into the True.

Under those conditions.

You will completely erase the gap between you and Them.

Whether in foundation, cognition, spells, divine abilities…

All the flaws once brought upon you by insufficient accumulation of time will be completely filled by you.

With such a you.

Lin Qi sighed softly, not alarmed but delighted.

Sure enough, compared to his own schemes and calculations, which inevitably bore traces from deliberate effort.

The Heaven-Abandoning Emperor was truly of supreme wisdom.

Even when he laid down schemes and calculations, they were like spring rain, moistening all things silently, leaving no trace.

Even though Lin Qi at this moment had already realized the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor's schemes and calculations.

He could only offer a heartfelt word of admiration, without even a trace of anger rising after being schemed against.

Because he knew.

Next, once he realized that the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor was the greatest winner after the descent of the Seventh Commandment: the River of Time.

It would be the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor's turn to think of a way to soothe his anger.

As for that, Lin Qi looked forward to it greatly.
