Chapter 487 Time is like a heavenly blade, each strike slaying the most talented.
In the desolate, broken sea of stars on the edge of the universe, time seemed to have passed as long as a century.
Lin Hanzhou remained slumped on the meteorite, barely breathing, as if he were an old, weak, sick, and disabled man who could be blown away by the wind at any moment.
He leaned against Jiang Ling's chest, his eyelids drooping, trying his best to exude the aura of an emperor whose life force was exhausted.
He even controlled each deliberately suppressed cough perfectly, flawlessly portraying a dying man who had just exhausted his life force and now didn't even have the strength to draw his sword.
However, another full hour passed.
The vast universe is so quiet that even the sound of a shooting star streaking across the sky seems exceptionally jarring.
The nine heavens and ten earths, and all the forbidden zones of life, seemed to have collectively fallen into eternal hibernation.
Those ancient supreme beings hidden within layers of divine sources were like a flock of frightened quails, locking their auras tightly in the deepest recesses.
Even though they saw Lin Hanzhou coughing up blood across the endless starry sky, and saw that he was so weak that he couldn't even stand up, they only gave him a contemptuous sneer in their hearts.
"Fishing? And you're fucking fishing right here!"
"Do they really think we're those three brainless idiots?"
"Anyone who believes his lies and jumps out now will definitely experience another 'time freeze' followed by a chilling shock!"
This has led to an extremely comical situation: the strongest being in the entire universe is lying on a meteorite pretending to be dead, while the most ferocious group of ancient beings in the entire universe are hiding under their blankets, trembling with fear.
"Cough...cough cough..."
Lin Hanzhou coughed twice more, then opened one eye speechlessly, looking at the empty starry sky, his lips twitching unnaturally.
"Master...you...are you really not going to make it? Shouldn't we quickly find a secluded star field to heal?"
Jiang Ling hugged Lin Hanzhou tightly, tears streaming down her face like beads from a broken string.
She had no idea about the intricacies of the situation; she only sensed that her master's aura was extremely weak, as if a gust of wind could dissipate it.
Seeing his little apprentice crying with tears streaming down his face, Lin Hanzhou finally couldn't keep up the act anymore.
"well……"
He let out a long sigh, and his previously listless demeanor vanished in an instant.
He didn't even use the extremely energy-consuming [Time Reversal], but simply straightened his back and stood up from Jiang Ling's arms in a very casual manner.
As he rose, a powerful, though weakened, imperial aura, as deep and imposing as a prison, began to circulate around him once more.
He casually patted the dust off his clothes and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, his eyes filled with disgust and helplessness.
"What a bunch of cowardly cowards who have never had any ambition."
Lin Hanzhou shook his head.
Since he couldn't catch the Supreme Being, Lin Hanzhou simply gave up on his plan to continue living a life of hardship on the edge of the universe.
He knew that after he had just demonstrated the miraculous feat of "pausing the entire universe," a feat of dimensional reduction, these supreme beings were completely terrified.
These old tortoises will absolutely not be born again until they truly grow old or reveal a fatal flaw.
"My disciple, don't cry. Your master is fine. It was all an act for those blind people."
Lin Hanzhou turned around, rubbed Jiang Ling's head, and his tone returned to its usual gentleness and composure.
"Let's go, we're tired of this desolate landscape on the edge of space. Let's... go home."
As Lin Hanzhou finished speaking.
This event, which shook the ages and was originally thought to have caused a catastrophe in the entire universe, the "Four Supreme Beings Hunting the Emperor" ended in a very anticlimactic way.
Results: Three Supreme Beings were instantly killed, and one Supreme Being fled in panic and his whereabouts are unknown.
The Emperor returns in triumph, and the stars tremble!
When Lin Hanzhou, carrying Jiang Ling, transformed into a golden rainbow spanning the Milky Way and swaggered back to the Divine Fire Ridge of the Nine Heavens Continent...
Billions of living beings throughout the universe erupted in a thunderous cheer that lasted for months!
The impending dark turmoil was ended by a young, powerful emperor in an extremely domineering manner.
The universe has ushered in a long-awaited peace.
........
Peaceful times always seem to fly by.
For the era ruled by Lin Hanzhou, the Emperor of Time, this was not a brief respite, but a golden age that lasted for a full five thousand years!
Five thousand years is perhaps just a drop in the ocean compared to the lifespan of a star.
But for all living beings in the heavens and earth, it is a thick history book that can be read countless times.
Of course, for the United States in Lin Hanzhou's previous life, five thousand years was enough for them to have a thousand presidents.
Throughout these five thousand years, Lin Hanzhou's fame has been like an ever-shining sun, relentlessly suppressing the heads of all the forbidden zones of life.
No forbidden zone dares to stir up trouble in this era, and no supreme being dares to step out of the forbidden zone even half a step.
The entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths ushered in a golden age of flourishing Taoist practices, the emergence of geniuses, and the blossoming of diverse talents.
Countless geniuses emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and the major dynasties and holy lands reached their zenith after the threat of the Dark Turmoil was removed.
However, time is like a sword, each strike cutting down even the most arrogant.
Five thousand years is an incredibly long time, even for those quasi-emperors who have already touched the threshold of the ultimate path.
Over this long period of time, Lin Hanzhou witnessed one generation after another of the older generation of Quasi-Emperors who once dominated the starry sky, eventually passing away in their respective Daoist temples due to depleted blood and energy and exhausted lifespan, turning into a handful of yellow earth.
As for the saints and great saints below the quasi-emperors level, they were like leeks, changing batch after batch.
Those young faces that once bowed down to Lin Hanzhou have long since been replaced by their great-grandchildren, or even descendants of who knows how many generations later.
Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs.
Immortality will always be the most hopeless mountain standing in the way of all cultivators.
