I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 3850: Chapter 1854: Confined

Time, Name, Nuo, are they truly insurmountable?

Not necessarily.

The Time Ancestor ranks among the three, also among the Ten Ancestors, and naturally among the Ten High Nobles.

The Demon Ancestor not only knows the wheel, but also understands the Time Ancestor’s status, and yet dares to scheme so grandly, proving it holds some certainty against the Time Ancestor’s Kong Yuhen and others.

Even if the latter suddenly returns to ancestral form and summons the full power of its prime in a short time.

And the current greatest opponent of Bazhun’an is both Sword Deity Hua Changdeng and includes the Demon Ancestor, who are eyeing intently from outside the Time Realm Rift, including the Third Ancestor.

To fight one against three?

Indeed at present, it seems his bounded domain cannot be mentioned in the same breath as many Ancestral Gods.

But if Bazhun’an’s An Sword opened wonderfully, and Godhood-Sealing and Ancestor was successful?

Based on his combat power alone, he might not fall beneath Time, Name, and Demon, and could perhaps contend with the eccentric Nuozu.

Xu Xiaoshou chose to believe in Bazhun’an!

Reaching this step today, he found that the Ten High Nobles still carried weight.

The Ancestral Gods of the heavens are each on a downward path, yet Bazhun’an, Kui Leihan, The Divine, and others still hold their heads high and forge ahead.

"What do I have to fear?"

The third mysterious door is right in front of him.

Turning away at this point would be too degrading.

And when recalling later, he might regret it to the point of pounding his chest.

Even if it contains Time, Nuo’s influence, with so much time having passed, can the residual influence of the Two Ancestors and the power of guidance still control him?

And if one’s self-will is so unsteady, so easily influenced, why did the Time Ancestor choose him to reverse the fate of the Name Ancestor?

Moreover, all these are merely speculations built upon the worst-case scenario of development.

The situation itself, however, does not seem to have reached such extremes.

"To say nothing else, if Time, Nuo plans to arrange me."

"Why did the Time Ancestor give me the source of spacetime in the world behind the first mysterious door, allowing me to know all of this in advance?"

Standing in a world of chaos, Xu Xiaoshou’s thoughts became ever clearer.

In a daze, he once again heard the encouragement from the three when he decided to seek enlightenment in the All Time Forgotten Sorrow Pavilion.

"You can do it."

Master Siren’s simple encouragement.

"Don’t worry, I’m watching."

Bazhun’an’s calm from start to finish.

"Face time."

Back then, Kong Yuhen’s seemingly ambiguous words now seemed to carry some intentional hints.

Facing...

Xu Xiaoshou silently murmured, raising his eyes to gaze at the nearby mysterious door.

Finally, he stepped forward and gently pushed, calmly placing himself into the world behind the mysterious door.

The more Ancestral Gods he has experienced, the more composed he becomes in changing circumstances.

By this time, he no longer places himself on a low level but begins to think from an equal height, nurturing the calm demeanor that comes with planning everything like the Ancestral Gods.

"Since I’m here, I’d better be at ease."

There is no achieving at one stroke on this Path; everything is honed through experience.

...

"Buzz!"

The dizziness and discomfort gradually faded, and his vision slowly returned in very familiar sequences.

Xu Xiaoshou calmed his mind and quietly waited.

Soon, he saw before him an illusion of brilliant colors woven with white smoke, black fog, and gray qi, making it impossible to discern if it was a mountain, a sea, or some other type of terrain.

Perhaps, even the concepts of "earth" and "sky" were gone; is this an original world that cannot even be considered chaos?

"Splash!"

A splashing sound of water came from behind him.

Very familiar, Xu Xiaoshou recognized it as the sound of the river of time.

He came because of time and must resolve his doubts through time.

"Turn around, and I can get the answer!"

With a resolute heart, Xu Xiaoshou tried to turn back, but it was incredibly difficult.

Every part of his body, every muscle, from the outside to the inside, including his soul and will, seemed to be firmly confined by some force, locked in place.

He could only keep his back to the river of time.

He simply couldn’t turn around.

"Let me go back!"

He cried out in his heart.

In the past, whenever he reached such a state, his willpower would start to change the scene, making everything follow his wishes.

At least the last two times he found himself in the scenes of white smoke and great calamities, he was always able to do so.

This time, Xu Xiaoshou found himself unable to reverse the situation.

He exerted all his strength but could not turn his body or even move his head a fraction.

"Splash!"

The sound of water roared like it was right behind him, lifting great waves to swallow him up.

And yet it seemed to be thousands of miles away, pouring down from the Galaxy above, destined to flood and destroy everything in the end.

Unknown, tense, anxious...

Because he couldn’t see, countless imaginations filled Xu Xiaoshou’s mind.

The more the sound of the river of time surged, the less composed his heart became, until finally, he clenched his teeth, his whole body tense with bulging veins, yet he still couldn’t turn back.

"Go back!"

"I want to go back!"

The world behind the third mysterious door was too strange; perhaps these were the methods of the Nuozu and the Time Ancestor.

Xu Xiaoshou immediately wanted to retreat, but he couldn’t even do that. He was eternally confined in the world behind the mysterious door, eternally facing away from time.

"Face time!"

In his mind, Kong Yuhen’s voice appeared.

It was only at this moment that Xu Xiaoshou understood what this sentence was truly about.

"Let me go back..."

He exerted all his strength, still unable to reverse the situation.

Suddenly, he recalled the world behind the first mysterious door.

There was also the sound of rushing water, yet he couldn’t see the river of time. The Time Ancestor Kong Yuhen had always been facing away from him, seemingly at times trying to turn back, but He never did.

Was it because He didn’t want to turn back or because He couldn’t?

Even the Time Ancestor was trapped?

"Phew!"

Xu Xiaoshou took a deep breath and laughed softly.

He began to use gentle forces to resist, trying to slightly turn his body, to get a glimpse of the river of time behind him.
