Chapter 693: Chapter 4: 800 Years of Turmoil, 800 Years of Calamity

The West Sea Yu Yuan, thousands of miles away.

In this era, Ghost Gods have yet to be born, and the barrier between the Yin and Yang Realms remains unbreakable by anyone.

Therefore, this Yu Yuan is the only node in this world that connects to the Netherworld, serving as a shortcut for Pathfinders crossing time and space to spy on the authority of the Lord of the Netherworld.

However, if some are coming across time to seize the power of the Lord of the Netherworld,

then naturally, others come across realms to protect the yet-to-be-born Ghost Gods.

Boom!

Amidst an invisible impact, the West Sea suddenly surges with raging waves.

A Divine Being with a tiger’s head and a human body appears out of thin air, holding a three-foot plain knife in hand.

"Shen Tu!"

"You are originally the Ghost King who ruled over ten-thousand ghosts on Mount Tusu, why must you go to such lengths for the Yin Celestial Monarch?"

The surging waves transform into a giant face with a whirlpool, and a thunderous roar emerges from the ocean depths.

"As long as you let me pass, everything can be negotiated."

"Once I prove the Six Paths of Reincarnation in this era, you will surely become the Master of One Path, far more enjoyable than serving under the Yin Celestial Monarch!"

Coldly watching the whirlpool giant face, Shen Tu was not swayed by the words at all.

"Nether River, don’t think I won’t recognize you just because you changed your face."

"You’ve usurped Chang Cheng’s identity and coveted Yu Yuan as the Celestial God of the West Sea for a long time, I have long wanted to root you out entirely."

"Now that you have revealed yourself, you shall remain here forever!"

Faced with Shen Tu’s reprimand, Nether River... or rather, Chang Cheng of this era, let out a furious roar.

"Do you think you are still the future guardian of the Netherworld!?"

"This is not the era of the Tao Ancestor’s manifestation, the Emperor Hao holds no threat to us!"

As if to verify his words.

A jade ruler suddenly shot out from Chang Cheng’s hand, and the entire sea of the West Sea began to surge, separating.

As far as the eye could see, Yu Yuan, connected to the Netherworld, gradually emerged.

"Just a bunch of demons, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

In the blink of an eye, the enraged Shen Tu swung the plain knife, sending a thousand waves of Qi towards Chang Cheng.

If, in the era of the Tao Ancestor’s manifestation, Li Boyang was that Demon-Suppressing Tower, suppressing countless restless monsters and spirits.

Then, in this period of the world’s most supreme rule, Emperor Hao was that Demon-Suppressing Tower.

Unfortunately, Emperor Hao has not appeared for a long time due to his own ambitions.

This has directly led those Pathfinders who were originally hidden in the shadows to finally take action, seeking to prove the Dao in this era and rewrite the origin.

Take, for example, this Nether River, if he were to obtain the Six Paths of Reincarnation in this era using the identity of "Chang Cheng."

Then he would successfully rewrite his own origin, becoming the Lord of the Six Paths named "Chang Cheng."

Under normal circumstances, Chang Cheng would never dare to have such a lavish wish.

Achieving the status of the Lord of the Asura Path and once again becoming the Nether River would already be a remarkable accomplishment.

However, in this era of the Lord of the Netherworld’s reincarnation and Emperor Hao’s disregard for worldly matters, the ambitions and desires of Chang Cheng naturally grew ever fiercer.

Not expecting to reach the heavens in one step as the Yin Celestial Monarch, but carving out some authority from the Lord of the Netherworld is still possible.

As for the lasting impact of such behavior on the entire River of Time?

No matter what changes the future brings, once you’ve successfully proven the Dao in this era, what threat could it possibly pose?

In fact, this is the mindset of the overwhelming majority of Pathfinders.

As long as they successfully rewrite their origin, imprinting their existence in the River of History, the changes in future timelines are trivial.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Faced with Shen Tu’s series of fierce attacks.

Chang Cheng was finally forced to reveal his complete form in this era.

A Celestial God with a human body and a dog’s tail, holding a jade ruler in hand.

According to the original historical trajectory, this Chang Cheng should have been the Celestial God born of the Tian Jiude, residing on Mount Yingmu, overseeing the convergence of the West Sea and inland waters.

However, after the Nether River interfered with the Qi of Tian Jiude, Chang Cheng became the Nether River.

"Petty tricks, why don’t you show some real skills!"

The perspective suddenly jumps out of the current time node, with numerous Nether Rivers from the future striking simultaneously.

Bang!

To deal with this cross-time battle, Shens Tu from different eras also stepped forward to aid.

Thus, above the River of Time, two Pathfinders formally commenced a great battle, drawing the attention of countless other Pathfinders.

Considering that due to Li Boyang’s use of the Kunlun Mirror to forcibly traverse time and space physically, the River of Time was already frequently disturbed by paradoxes.

The struggle between these two Pathfinders further exacerbated the temporal chaos in this era.

If one were to look further along the upstream and downstream of this time node, it would be evident that Shen Tu and the Nether River aren’t the only ones fighting.

For the past three hundred years, and for the next five hundred years.

In these eight hundred years of long time, battles akin to those of the Pathfinders are endless, enough to dizzy the observer.

By comparison, the battle between Shen Tu and the Nether River is relatively restrained.

At the very least, these two know to move the main battlefield to the River of Time instead of waging a great war within the world.

Of course, this might also relate to the dissatisfaction that a large-scale internal war might cause among other Pathfinders.

After all, over these eight hundred years, who knows how many Pathfinders lie in wait?

If your war happens to cause the innocent death of other Pathfinders, don’t expect them to spare you any troubles during your process of proving the Dao.

Swirl... swirl... swirl...

Visibly, the already turbulent River of Time became a complete tangle.

Especially in these eight hundred years when the Celestial Emperor Hao had ceased to attend to matters, each Pathfinder seized the opportunity to prove the Dao.

Swoosh!

Just as Shen Tu and the Nether River were locked in fierce battle on the River of Time.

A beam of brilliant light tore through the sky, appearing within the West Sea waters.

Its speed was so swift that the Nether River had no time to react before his incarnation in this era—Chang Cheng was suddenly bound by a reed rope.

The next second, a golden spear smashed directly into Chang Cheng’s head.

"You!"

The Nether Rivers on the River of Time glared with rage, only to meet with a cooler smile from the Shens Tu.

"It appears you’ve forgotten, Shen Tu and Yu Lei are always inseparable partners."

"Where there is Shen Tu, there must be Yu Lei; did you think this was merely a joke?"

At this point, Shen Tu’s voice paused briefly before continuing.

"Chang Cheng is dead, gaining the Dao in his name is now impossible."

"I await the appearance of your next incarnation, hoping by then you will remember this lesson."

"Provided, of course, you can cultivate a worthy incarnation in these mere eight hundred years."
