Chapter 540 I was asked to pick up my friend
Although this lone boat is going against the current, its oars seem to move extremely slowly, as slowly as an old man in his twilight years leisurely rowing on a lake under the setting sun.
Each time the wooden oars parted the river of time, it seemed as if an entire epoch of time was required.
But! This is merely an illusion existing in our field of vision!
The actual speed of this lone boat is not as slow as it appears.
In the blink of an eye, the wooden boat had already traversed a vast distance and hovered steadily in the center of the battlefield between the three strange immortal kings and Lin Hanzhou in the deep pit!
As this lone boat descended, an indescribable aura of time instantly enveloped every inch of space within a radius of tens of millions of miles.
The eerie black mist that had been trying to regroup evaporated instantly upon touching this aura of time, like snowflakes under the blazing sun, making a hissing sound.
In mid-air, the three arrogant and eerie immortal kings who had been so domineering no longer had the calm and composed demeanor they had just displayed.
The deep eyes of the three eerie immortal kings were now filled with unprecedented solemnity and apprehension.
They are the supreme taboos who have lived for countless epochs.
Because they stand at such a high vantage point, they understand all too well what it truly means to be able to tread upon the river of time, to go against the current, and to traverse the years!
"Damn it! How could such an indescribable, supreme being suddenly descend upon this abandoned land that we have already polluted?"
The most powerful and eerie immortal king in the center roared in his heart with extreme shock and anger.
He stared intently at the young man in a straw raincoat on the small wooden boat, who was facing away from them and leisurely paddling with a wooden oar.
He dared not act rashly, even though he was a Celestial King, he was unwilling to get involved in the karma of such beings.
Finally, after a brief standoff that was almost maddening.
The eerie immortal king on the left forcefully suppressed the trembling in his heart and spoke in a probing tone in a deep voice.
"A traveler against the flow of time... You have crossed the causal barriers of countless years and descended upon this point in time and space where we reside... But why have you come?"
The eerie voice of the Immortal King no longer carried the arrogance and cruelty he displayed when facing Lin Hanzhou; instead, it was filled with extreme vigilance in the face of the unknown.
As this question fell...
The entire world fell into a deathly silence.
In the deep pit below, Lin Hanzhou, who had already stepped one foot into the gates of hell, was now forcing his heavy eyelids open, staring intently at the young man in the straw raincoat with his back to him in the sky with a look of shock as if he were watching a god descend to earth.
He was also eager to know who this extraordinary figure was who could frighten three strange immortal kings to such an extent.
Under the tense gaze of the three eerie immortal kings.
"Splash..."
On the lone boat, the figure wearing a tattered straw hat and a rough brown raincoat finally made a move.
He casually placed the oar in his hand lightly on the gunwale of the awning boat.
Then, he slowly turned around to face the three strange immortal kings.
Immediately afterwards, the young man in the straw raincoat extended a long, slender, fair hand, grasped the edge of the tattered straw hat on his head, and slowly lifted it upwards.
The straw hat was lifted, and the shadows receded.
A young and handsome face, yet bearing an air of having seen through the vicissitudes of time, appeared clearly in the sight of the three eerie immortal kings and Lin Hanzhou in the deep pit.
The moment I saw that face clearly!
In that instant, the deep, black hole-like pupils of the three eerie immortal kings suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints!
Even Lin Hanzhou, who was lying at the bottom of the pit, stared wide-eyed in utter disarray, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.
Because, beneath that straw hat, was the face of the young man in the raincoat.
The contours between his brows, the high bridge of his nose, and the curve of his mouth that seemed gentle but actually concealed a certain madness and arrogance.
He looks exactly like the dying Lin Hanzhou below!
This is absolutely not some sophisticated disguise technique, nor is it a simulation or transformation of some kind of great law!
At the level of Immortal King, any falsehood or pretense cannot be hidden from their eyes of cause and effect!
The three mysterious Immortal Kings can swear on their Immortal King Dao Fruits with certainty!
The supreme forbidden being before us, who sails a lone boat against the flow of time, is one hundred percent identical to the ant that is about to die in the deep pit below!
"This...this is impossible!"
The burly and eerie Immortal King on the right could no longer maintain his composure as a powerful Immortal King.
"A future incarnation? This is... the future incarnation of this ant from the lower realm?!"
His dark face was filled with utter disbelief.
It's important to understand that, according to the operating logic of the "River of Time," the appearance of a future self means that the other party must be alive in the future.
But at this moment, at this point in time.
The death of this lower realm emperor named Lin Hanzhou is an established fact that is etched in the river of time and cannot be changed!
In just a dozen or so breaths, he will take his last breath in this deep pit, and his true spirit will completely dissipate.
A person destined to die at this point in time, destined to be erased by them.
How could he possibly... how could he possibly have a future?!
Not only does it have a future, but it has even grown to a level in that distant future timeline that even the three strange immortal kings have to look up to.
And he can even travel back in time, precisely arriving at the moment he is about to die?!
This is fundamentally unreasonable from the perspective of causality and the closed loop of space and time!
If he dies here today, his future self will not exist!
If his future self exists and returns to the present, then it means he definitely didn't die today!
However, if his future self doesn't come back to save his present self, his present self is doomed!
The eerie Immortal King in the center stared intently at Lin Hanzhou in his raincoat, feeling as if his brain was being burned dry by this complex causal logic.
Faced with the three eerie immortal kings' expressions of utter disbelief, as if their worldviews had completely collapsed.
On the lone boat, the young man in a straw raincoat, wearing a bamboo hat and with a face exactly like Lin Hanzhou's, smiled gently.
His smile was like a spring breeze sweeping across the frozen land of ages past, causing ripples to spread through the surrounding space and time because of this tiny facial expression.
He lowered his head slightly, looking at his own pitiful state in the deep pit below, a hint of emotion in his eyes.
Then, he slowly raised his head, meeting the horrified gazes of the three strange immortal kings. He parted his thin lips slightly and spoke with a calm voice that seemed to contain the heavenly voice of the Great Dao.
"I was entrusted with this task..."
"Come and pick up my friend."
