Chapter 466 Time Flies, the World Changes
Time is the most ruthless blade in the world, but also the most skillful healer.
With the conclusion of the Grand Pilgrimage Ceremony of All Races, the Divine Fire Ridge, which had shaken the entire universe, finally returned to peace.
Moreover, this is to express absolute awe and respect for the Emperor of Time.
All the sects, families, and holy sites in the Northern Region that were originally stationed around Shenhuoling immediately broke camp and set up camp overnight, as if fleeing a disaster, on the very first day after the pilgrimage ended.
They even abandoned their ancestral heritage, completely clearing out the vast territory surrounding Shenhuoling, spanning hundreds of millions of miles!
This vast territory is recognized by the entire universe as the absolute forbidden zone of the Great Emperor, and no cultivator dares to set foot on it.
Shenhuoling thus became a sacred place, high above all living beings.
And this stillness lasted for a full thousand years.
A thousand years have passed, time has flown by, and the world has changed.
For the most powerful emperors and supreme beings in the world, a thousand years might really just be the time it takes to take a nap.
However, for cultivators below the level of an emperor, and for mortals with short lifespans, a thousand years is an extremely long period of time, enough to witness the rise and fall of countless dynasties.
Take, for example, the mortal world, or the country called "United States" on some blue star.
This thousand-year period is enough for them to have two hundred presidents in the farce of elections!
Two hundred presidents have appeared and disappeared in the long river of history, but for the emperor who hangs high in the sky, it is just the beginning of a cycle.
Over this long thousand years.
All races in the universe have ushered in an unprecedented period of peace and prosperity.
There was no longer any covert instigation from the supreme beings of the forbidden zones, nor any bloody struggle for the chance to become an emperor.
Under the absolute power of Emperor Lin Hanzhou, both the unruly ancient royal families and the profound human holy lands obediently stayed in their own territories, developing quietly and daring not to provoke the slightest war.
Without understanding the emperor's personality, none of the universe's top powers dared to start a war rashly.
After all, similar things are recorded in ancient books.
There were once two top powers in the universe who instigated a war during the reign of the Great Emperor, causing widespread devastation in several star regions and incurring the displeasure of the Great Emperor of that era.
Then, that emperor directly destroyed the two top forces, even shattering their ancestral imperial weapons.
Since then, an unwritten rule has been established among the top powers in the universe.
In an era with a great emperor in charge, it's best to avoid large-scale battles if possible.
Even when vying for resources in the unclaimed secret realm, everyone kept their distance, afraid of making too much noise and disturbing the Great Emperor who was in seclusion in the Northern Region.
Those supreme beings hiding in the various forbidden zones of life have taken the art of "survival" to the extreme.
For a thousand years, not even a wisp of black mist has drifted out of the forbidden zone.
Those old monsters who used to launch dark upheavals and devour billions of lives are now sleeping soundly in the divine source, as soundly as dead pigs.
As long as the Emperor of Time is still on the throne, they will never peek out!
During this thousand-year period when the entire universe was silent and trembling, earth-shattering changes were taking place within Divine Fire Ridge.
Outside the bamboo forest, in the heart of a mountain range that has been completely hollowed out.
Jiang Ling sat cross-legged in the center of a spirit-gathering array made of top-grade materials.
At this moment, she has long since shed the naivety and fragility of a thousand years ago.
Her eyes now held an air of authority befitting someone who had held a high position for many years.
"boom!"
With a deafening roar coming from within her body, Jiang Ling suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes.
Two beams of light, almost tangible, shot out from the depths of her eyes, instantly piercing through the void before her.
A terrifying pressure belonging to the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm swept outwards in all directions from her center, like a volcanic eruption!
"Peak Quasi-Emperor...I've finally reached it!"
Jiang Ling exhaled a long breath, feeling the terrifying power within her that seemed capable of easily crushing stars. An uncontrollable excitement appeared on her beautiful face.
With the massive, top-tier resources in the entire universe being piled up at any cost.
Furthermore, a great emperor of the time would occasionally, during a break from his seclusion, casually offer a few words of profound wisdom…
Even a pig can be forcibly elevated to the level of a quasi-emperor.
Not to mention Jiang Ling, who is already exceptionally talented and possesses the bloodline of an ancient emperor.
In a thousand years, he progressed from a Saint to a Saint King, a Great Saint, a Quasi-Emperor (levels 1, 4, and 9), and directly soared to the peak of Quasi-Emperor!
If word got out about this cultivation speed, it would definitely make all those old monsters in the universe who have lived for thousands of years and only just reached the threshold of Quasi-Emperor so ashamed that they would commit suicide on the spot!
"I, Jiang Ling, can never repay my master's kindness, even if it costs me my life..."
Jiang Ling stood up, straightened her clothes, and was about to go outside the Purple Bamboo Forest to kowtow to her master in gratitude.
However, on the morning of that day...
The sky over Shenhuoling, which was originally sunny and calm, suddenly darkened without warning.
It wasn't just that dark clouds blocked out the sun; rather, the entire spacetime itself became disordered at that moment!
"Tick-tock..."
It was as if a drop of water had fallen into the calm river of time.
Immediately afterwards, all living beings in the universe, whether ordinary mortals or supreme beings hiding in the divine source, experienced an extremely strange illusion at this moment.
The scene before their eyes was actually regressing!
Leaves falling in the wind flew back to their branches against their natural trajectory; waterfalls that had just flowed down surged back to the mountaintop; even the spiritual energy circulating within cultivators was uncontrollably flowing backward along the cultivation path!
"What...what's going on?!"
In the depths of the Netherworld Sea, a supreme being suddenly awoke from his slumber, his turbid eyes filled with utter horror.
"The laws of time... No! This isn't simply controlling time... Someone has cultivated the laws of time, influencing the timeline of the entire universe!"
From the depths of the Netherworld Sea came gasps of astonishment.
Shenhuoling, Purple Bamboo Forest.
The stone gate, sealed for a thousand years, slowly opened to both sides with a thunderous roar.
An extreme imperial might, even more profound than that used to slay the Qilin Ancient Emperor a thousand years ago, accompanied by the strange phenomenon of reversing time, descended upon this world like an awakened ancient deity!
Lin Hanzhou has emerged from seclusion.
A thousand years of transition and reflection greatly benefited his understanding of the laws of time.
