Chapter 1847 - 502: No True Name, Turn Around and Break the Pact

Yu Ziqing cupped his hands, knowing this was a gesture of thanks, for having the Mountain Lord take action personally.

The Mountain Lord transformed into a stream of light and vanished.

He followed the Abyss Skywell, arriving at the place where the Mountain Abyss once stood.

At this moment, it was a void, and the Mountain Abyss was gone.

In the darkness below, the giant tiger still stood, guarding against the Greedy Devil King.

The Mountain Lord, carrying a stone axe, flew over. Beneath the tiger's feet, the Greedy Devil King struggled to emerge slightly. He struggled furiously, trying to make a show of escaping, just waiting for another axe from the Mountain Lord.

The path of All Gods was already gone, and the Cliff Divine King had completely fallen.

The Greedy Devil King's last hope was also extinguished; he could never return to the gods.

Thinking of this, the Greedy Devil King, already worn out by torture and seeking relief, couldn't wait to die.

He had fully given up, and was utterly in despair.

However, the Mountain Lord merely glanced at him, then sat calmly atop the tiger's head, contemplating while holding the stone axe.

He immersed himself in all the insights of this moment.

This might be the greatest opportunity of his life.

It also provided a clear direction for the path he would take in the future.

All the power and sensations from that axe were felt most acutely by him.

Because that power was originally his own, Yu Ziqing's mysteries were merely used to control this power, causing it to transform.

He needed to seize the moment, while he could, to gain more insight, and clarify his thoughts, combining the current situation to perfect a method for controlling his power.

Beneath the tiger's feet, the Greedy Devil King wailed in despair, raging madly.

"Kill me, kill me, you coward, if you have the guts, do it now."

In the past, he would surely have been mercilessly beaten and tortured.

But now, the Mountain Lord was calm, without a hint of anger.

He looked at the Greedy Devil King very peacefully.

"Don't worry, one day, I will personally send you on your way."

He wouldn't take the opportunity to strike down the Greedy Devil King.

He intended to use the Greedy Devil King as a test; when he could truly slay him with a single strike, it would prove his mastery of power at this moment.

As time passed, the conjured stone axe lost its control.

The stone axe began to break apart and crumble, transforming back into the Mountain Abyss, while the excess uncontrollable power within the Mountain Lord also flew out again, forming mountain ranges within the Mountain Abyss.

This breakdown process was also cultivation—an invaluable insight.

Elsewhere, Yu Ziqing sat cross-legged, floating in the Gang Wind Layer, still deeply contemplating.

There were so many things he wanted to comprehend at this moment.

Sensing his own discerning abilities, gaining insight into the current mysteries.

Taking the opportunity to understand everything.

At this moment, Yu Ziqing was contemplating the vast information forcefully implanted in his mind when he glimpsed the River of Time before.

Some extremely minute, previously unnoticed elements began to emerge now.

He discovered in the operational logs of the Ancient Sea God, many logs of unsuccessful alterations of event conclusions, where only some details were modified, bore another subtle trace.

That trace was seamlessly integrated with the operations of the Ancient Sea God; the last time he looked, Yu Ziqing hadn't noticed anything amiss.

It might have been looking at too much before, leading to numbness.

Now, however, he could instinctively detect that some tiny, almost imperceptible changes did not originate from the operations of the Ancient Sea God.

With just a glance, Yu Ziqing understood why the Ancient Sea God's alteration success rate was so low.

Logically, the Ancient Sea God's alterations would have a low success rate, but not this low. Now he realized someone was using the Ancient Sea God's power, making slight adjustments when he stirred up small waves.

And the alterations by the Ancient Sea God began in some extremely subtle areas every time.

The minute, almost undetectable changes by a third party were enough to reduce the Ancient Sea God's alteration success rate by two orders of magnitude.

Whether it's a success rate of one in a million or one in ten million, the difference under large scales is not significant or noticeable.

Yet this difference is enough to accelerate the rate of innovation among cultivators above the rate of loss.

This significance is crucial to people.

"It's you, isn't it, no wonder it's so difficult to contact you.

No wonder you said you only had one chance.

So, you're here, indeed, as long as you don't expose yourself.

Indeed, it's unlikely anyone would know about you.

Even the Mountain Lord believed you've completely fallen.

I suppose you also know about my agreement with the Ancient Sea God.

You surely know what he'll do too.

Let's see how long it takes before he breaks the agreement."

Yu Ziqing sensed the operational logs in his mind and, through the barely detectable third-party trace, connected directly with the Primordial Lord.

He watched as the Gang Wind passed by, light and shadow intertwining, and some information merged with the world began to be captured by Yu Ziqing.

He seemed to hear the sigh of the Primordial Lord.

"He has already broken the agreement."

Yu Ziqing was startled, stunned.

He knew the Ancient Sea God would certainly be up to mischief and continue to attempt altering time in the future.

But he hadn't thought that even as a pretense, he should take a brief pause, shouldn't he?

He had just turned away, and the Ancient Sea God started again.

Yu Ziqing couldn't help but chuckle in exasperation.

"A dog can't change its ways."

"He cannot change, based on previous experiences, he has now decided to give up on this era.

He believes this era can no longer be significantly altered.

He continues to alter time now merely to lay the groundwork for the next era."

"Do you wish to return? I think I can try now, see if I can bring you back."

"No need, I have already lost my physical body, my Divine Soul, my lifespan, and my True Name. Everything is gone; only then can I be here; I can no longer return."

"Trust me, one day, after resolving the issue with the Ancient Sea God, you'll certainly return again. Then I'll show you what I recorded, witness the Mountain Lord weeping."
