Chapter 938 - 298: World Line Convergence

"Do you know how the River of Eternal Darkness devours those above the Divine Realm?"

Pot World, deep within the pot.

Looking up at the ceaselessly flowing River of Eternal Darkness, Dawn Number One spoke slowly, asking.

Big Golden Fur, lying nearby, shook his head.

"It is not easy to reach beyond the Divine Realm. Every seeker who enters it has already embarked on their own path."

"The path is difficult to obliterate; even if the cosmic era perishes, the path will still exist."

"The reason why those antique artifacts possess various unique talents is that they have merged with different great paths from within the River of Eternal Darkness."

Big Golden Fur nodded; he knew the things Dawn Number One was talking about.

"Therefore, to annihilate a being beyond the Divine Realm, the River of Eternal Darkness would first erase their consciousness and inherit their causality."

Erasing consciousness means making them forget their own identity through endless cycles.

Inheriting causality is related to the ability of the River of Eternal Darkness mentioned earlier.

"What is included in the inherited causality?" Big Golden Fur immediately asked.

"Your name, your appearance, your wealth, your great path, your... everything..."

At this point, Dawn Number One paused.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he saw something in the endlessly flowing River of Eternal Darkness.

"Number One, listening to what you said, could it be that you’ve also been devoured by the River of Eternal Darkness?" Big Golden Fur asked curiously.

Dawn Number One nodded slightly.

"Yes, I have been devoured. When I first broke through to the Creation Divine Realm, I attempted it once. That time, the River of Eternal Darkness almost took away all my causality, nearly devouring me into annihilation."

"Tsk." Big Golden Fur exclaimed in astonishment, not expecting that Dawn Number One also had a time of youthful recklessness.

He knew that entering the River of Eternal Darkness, as Dawn Number One described, was different from sailing through it, as there were no boats or anchor events at that time.

Wait a moment.

Big Golden Fur suddenly thought of something and raised his head abruptly.

"Han Zhan has entered the River of Eternal Darkness, and he doesn’t have an anchor event with him!"

"Doesn’t that mean he’s facing the same intensity of the River of Eternal Darkness as you did back then?!"

"Number One, we..."

"This is the path he chose; others cannot change it." Dawn Number One interrupted Big Golden Fur, speaking calmly.

"Then how did you break free and wake up from the River of Eternal Darkness back then?"

Big Golden Fur changed the topic and continued to ask.

Hearing Big Golden Fur’s question, there was a hint of reminiscence in Dawn Number One’s voice as he said:

"Because within the River of Eternal Darkness, there’s an ancient being that hasn’t been completely annihilated, always guarding us, the old era remnants who escaped to survive."

"It is, the lingering will of the previous cosmic era."

This was a secret even Big Golden Fur didn’t know.

Only those who experienced it firsthand could know this ultimate secret.

Dawn Number One revealed everything to Big Golden Fur without reservation.

Big Golden Fur blinked, processing the information he had heard while pondering something.

At this moment, Dawn Number One turned around and looked at him.

"The River of Eternal Darkness and the River of Time, one destroys and the other records; in essence, they actually belong to the same source."

"Therefore, if Han Zhan is truly being devoured by the River of Eternal Darkness, only someone who can trace back the River of Time could interfere with the River of Eternal Darkness."

"The Pot World is the place closest to the River of Eternal Darkness. Here, by tracing the method of time, perhaps we can save him who is lost in causality."

This information that Dawn Number One suddenly shared made Big Golden Fur’s eyes light up sharply.

Tracing the River of Time,

he indeed knew someone.

That is, the Contracted Spirit, Nuannuan, who possesses the Flowing Light and Shadow Talent Ability!

"But if so, won’t the person intervening in the River of Eternal Darkness by tracing the River of Time be in danger?"

Dawn Number One shook his head. "The River of Time and the River of Eternal Darkness, they belong to the same level. Even if discovered by the River of Eternal Darkness, there won’t be a big problem."

"Moreover, as long as he is awakened from the state of ’causality theft,’ he can, through his own will, break free from the River of Eternal Darkness’s influence and return to reality!"

After hearing that, Big Golden Fur greeted Dawn Number One and hurriedly turned to leave.

He was heading to Han Zhan’s residence in the Pot World to find traces of Nuannuan.

Dawn Number One watched Big Golden Fur’s hastening figure move away, remained silent for a while, and then softly sighed, murmuring to himself:

"The world line has finally converged."

...

Pot World, Han Zhan’s residence.

When Big Golden Fur revealed everything that had happened to the Contracted Spirit Girls, they instantly blew up.

"What?!"

"Letting Ah Zhan enter the River of Eternal Darkness, is this truly your Dawn’s scheme!"

"Only when the normally sailing ship disappeared did you think to inform us?"

"Damn it, you bastard!"

"Everyone calm down!" Shang Siteng suddenly raised her voice, interrupting their indignant complaints.

"Undoubtedly, Dawn Number One used us. Although we don’t yet know his true purpose."

"However, now that we are guests relying on him, and with requests for him, if he truly wanted to harm us, he didn’t have to wait till now."

Shang Siteng’s words made the ladies calm down again.

As crude as it is, that’s the truth.

"What we should focus on now is finding a way to rescue Ah Zhan from the River of Eternal Darkness."

"So..."

"I’ll do it, I have no problem with it!" At this moment, Nuannuan stepped forward, speaking with an unwavering tone.

"Resonating with the River of Time and the River of Eternal Darkness, intervening in the River of Eternal Darkness this way to awaken Ah Zhan’s consciousness. Am I saying it right?"

Nuannuan’s words were directed at Big Golden Fur.

Big Golden Fur nodded, "That’s right. I learned this from Dawn Number One."

"Though I cannot determine His reasons for doing this or why He wants me to share this information with you."

"Knowing this can rescue Ah Zhan from the River of Eternal Darkness is already enough!"

"There’s no time to lose; I’ll start now."

After Nuannuan spoke, she opened her arms, and an ancient giant mirror condensed behind her.

Inside, the golden dazzling sundial pointer began to rotate in reverse after Nuannuan’s finger techniques were enacted.

The rotation speed gradually accelerated, becoming faster and faster.

A pale golden mist flowed from the sundial, gathering and flowing, amassing more and more, from a trickle eventually forming into a golden river.

That is, the River of Time!

The appearance of the River of Time shocked the people in the Pot World to look up at this river of a different color.

In the Pot World, the River of Time and the River of Eternal Darkness flowed simultaneously.

The double rivers under the same sky were a magnificent sight!
