I Come to Teach You Cultivation

Chapter 470 - 59: The More Ancient, the Stronger? The Stronger, the More Ancient!

"The way of heaven is flawed, creation is incomplete..."

"This is both a defect and an opportunity."

"Perhaps when Emperor Hao chose to hunt your reincarnated self, it was a destined cause and effect reversal."

When Li Boyang spoke these words, the originally unified river of history immediately branched into two streams.

One was Celestial Emperor Hao pursuing immortality by hunting the reincarnated form of the Lord of the Netherworld.

The other was Celestial Emperor Hao attempting to break free from his historical confines, devising intricate plots to ambush the Lord of the Netherworld who repeatedly obstructed him.

At the convergence of these two worldlines, the current Lord of the Netherworld naturally possessed both sets of memories simultaneously.

[Hmm, this is quite a wondrous experience.]

Rarely showing a tone of pleasure, the Lord of the Netherworld also took the opportunity to trace back through history, seeking to mend his own flaws and deficiencies.

The distinct memories and experiences were the greatest harvest for the Lord of the Netherworld on this journey.

[Is this the power of time?]

Silently retreating into the background once more, the gaze of the Lord of the Netherworld extended beyond the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Tower, landing on the Creation Jade Disc.

For this divine artifact that reshaped the entire temporal river.

The Lord of the Netherworld was eagerly anticipating to what extent Li Boyang could wield its power.

"Then watch closely!"

A faint smile curled up at his lips as the Creation Jade Disc in Li Boyang’s hand radiated dazzling light.

If the river of time were likened to a real river.

In the past, the river of time was undoubtedly a grand flowing current.

In contrast, the future direction of this time river was a complex network of myriad small streams.

Those intricate water systems diverged in all directions, some even flowing backward.

They symbolized countless possibilities of the future, endless parallel worlds branching from the current node of time.

—The future remains uncertain, anything is possible.

However, as Li Boyang took initiative to intervene in those endless possibilities.

The birth of the Creation Jade Disc became an inevitable event across countless parallel timelines.

It was like an invisible hand gripping the "present," using "now" as a node to comb through the "future."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just like Celestial Emperor Hao in the past.

Li Boyang’s domineering actions naturally provoked resistance from those future-born powers.

But unfortunately for them, they differed from Celestial Emperor Hao.

These future powers did not occupy the mainstream of the temporal river.

They were merely potentialities spawned from the current node of time, not even mainstream possibilities.

Hence, Li Boyang easily suppressed their interference over the temporal river.

Then, using the birth of the Creation Jade Disc as the starting point.

The "Three Souls and Seven Spirits system" also emerged among countless future possibilities.

No matter what happened in those futures, regardless of whether they truly existed parallel timelines or not.

The "Three Souls and Seven Spirits system" seemed as intrinsic as Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi itself, an enduring existence from time immemorial.

And as time passed, the more powers born from the "Three Souls and Seven Spirits system," the more robust its foundation became.

When the number of these powers grew sufficient, any force attempting to overthrow the "Three Souls and Seven Spirits system" would find themselves enemies of these powers.

Hence, the previously complex future timelines at this moment gained a united flow direction.

Although a small few might slip through, the occasional divergences within the timeline could no longer affect the temporal river’s overall course.

Frankly speaking, if not for Celestial Emperor Hao looming over the past river of time.

Li Boyang might even consider shifting the origin of the "Three Souls and Seven Spirits system" back in time, further bolstering its binding force.

...........................

"Tell me, does this mean I’ve started something bad?"

Firmly gripping the Creation Jade Disc in his hand.

After initially completing the combing of the temporal river, Li Boyang suddenly asked absentmindedly.

[A bad start?]

A slightly confused voice sounded by Li Boyang’s ear.

The Lord of the Netherworld, observing the entire temporal river, clearly didn’t quite grasp Li Boyang’s words.

For in the Lord of the Netherworld’s scope, Li Boyang’s organization of the temporal river had obviously rendered the world more orderly and the future significantly stronger.

Without exaggeration, Li Boyang’s actions at this moment possessed immense symbolic significance.

Before the birth of the Creation Jade Disc was one era.

And after the birth of the Creation Jade Disc, it was another era.

In this new era, the past, present, and future were intricately intertwined in an extremely complex way.

This interweaving transcended the timeline, transcended parallel worlds, and also allowed powers of various eras to perceive the path of the Great Celestial God.

No longer pursuing absolute power.

But instead, allowing oneself to break free from the temporal river, unmanhandled by the tides of history.

Otherwise, no matter how mighty one may be in one’s era, even if mighty enough to destroy heaven and earth, so what?

For the entire temporal river, it would be nothing more than a fleeting existence.

—From pursuing value to pursuing systems.

Li Boyang’s endeavors altered the entire world, a complete transformation from past, present to future.

Even those transcendents, knowing well that above them was He who wielded the Creation Jade Disc, couldn’t resist glimpsing the higher limit of power.

"Before today, the temporal river was merely an illusory concept."

"Even for beings as powerful as you and I who could upheave the world, only one era was within our influence."

Taking a deep breath, Li Boyang quickly composed himself and continued explaining.

"But after today, time has become a real and indisputable torrent."

"Every mighty being of every age, upon transcending time, would inevitably prevent others from crossing timelines to kill them at their weakest."

"Therefore, they will constantly revise their origins, tracing upwards their time of birth..."

"Thus, the stronger a being, the more ancient they become, the more ancient, the stronger."

The Lord of the Netherworld remained silent, quietly listening to the future Li Boyang described, without interrupting him.

"When time constantly traces back to Opening Heaven and Earth, the birth of the world itself, what do you think this world would become?"

"Eternally enduring immortals dominating all beings?"

"The first power tracing back to Opening Heaven and Earth, blocking all subsequent paths?"

"Or do you believe the future me could certainly maintain my original intentions and not become the one blocking all subsequent paths?"

Li Boyang’s soliloquy led the Lord of the Netherworld into deep thought.

Yet soon afterward, they realized that Li Boyang was not the kind to regret at the last minute, nor to introspect only when the situation arises.

[What else do you intend to do!?]
