Chapter 1885 - 515: Refusal, Deep Sea Terror (5k)_2

With part of something as a beginning and related matters as a goal, it's easier to sort through and find things in the waste paper.

This convenience means Daqian's progress is the fastest.

Because Empress Qian has relevant experience, and indeed, the archives of Daqian are the most comprehensive among the Four Divine Dynasties.

They unearthed too many things that disappeared from records, vanished from public memory.

The most recent case is about a minister during the early reign of Old Emperor Qian, whom no one remembers now.

But in the stacks of old paper, information about this person was found.

This person made significant contributions when Old Emperor Qian first ascended the throne.

Yet now, no one remembers.

The records show such a person existed, and then their descendants, vanished.

The investigation only traced that the family once migrated, and then completely disappeared, forgotten by all.

They also unearthed stories from even older times, predating the Ancient era, digging out those names.

But these pieces are scattered, not systematic, only revealing that there was once a strong figure who did something, and the rest is gone.

Occasionally, things unearthed contradict later records completely.

For example, existing records say that Old Emperor Qian in his youth had almost no close people around him.

But now a record was dug up showing someone close to Old Emperor Qian stayed by his side during his childhood.

The person simply disappeared, as if they never existed.

Such techniques are far more terrifying than visible Divine Skills.

Inner unease and fear unknowingly start to burgeon, beyond human control.

And these forces become nutrients.

Yu Ziqing had already confirmed that this is a force appearing in the River of Time.

It can naturally transcend the past, continuing to irrigate the mind of the Ancient Sea God.

Time flows bit by bit, Yu Ziqing sits quietly on the petal of the Undying Mandala, contemplating the Dayan Preface, pondering various things.

The blessings received here should not waste time.

Above the River of Time, the victory spring flower buds manifested above the Ancient Sea God's head have sunk some.

At this moment, not only have the flower buds manifested, but the branches, leaves, and roots have emerged completely.

The roots have penetrated the Ancient Sea God's mind, continuously absorbing nutrients, destroying his rationality.

As the Ancient Sea God goes mad, launching the third major assault, when the River of Time regains calm, his rationality begins to become occasionally chaotic and unclear.

He is intermittently unaware of losing his mind.

He cannot wait any longer.

Even knowing that losing Kan, his greatest reliance, would mean disappearance.

He cannot drag it out any longer.

His thoughts begin instinctively to find excuses, searching for various things to persuade himself.

Even if he loses Kan, it will merely allow the evolution process of this world to continue.

And as things have progressed to this point, he has already determined the only path to death and has embarked on it.

Unless the evolution of this world completes and then destroys the world.

Besides that, there's no second way to kill him.

Even if Kan is lost, it's not much of a problem, right?

After all, with his understanding of the Divine Dynasties, especially of Yu Ziqing, Yu Ziqing certainly wouldn't wish to destroy the world.

If he did, it wouldn't have developed to this point today.

The only ones likely to do such a thing would be the mad descendants of Emperor Qian.

Clearly, Yu Ziqing, who had personally killed Old Emperor Qian, would certainly not allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, losing Kan is not much of a problem.

Yu Ziqing was right; if he gives up Kan, letting this world continue to evolve.

Back then, he switched camps from the Ancient God to All Gods, and with All Gods gone, it's not considered betrayal now, switching again shouldn't be a problem, right.

Getting along peacefully in the future is not impossible.

It's better than everyone losing together, right?

His consciousness sometimes clear, sometimes confused.

His memories begin to show blank spaces.

He might just feel slightly disoriented in thought, and in a blink of an eye, it's the third day.

He completely forgets what happened on the second day.

Things have gotten increasingly severe.

He starts persuading himself, benefits of cooperation popping up in his mind, persuading himself.

Even if compromising a bit now, isn't there still a future?

If not compromising now, there might not be a future.

He can wait, compromise then wait, if peaceful coexistence remains, just continue.

If he no longer desires peaceful coexistence, wait until those outrageous individuals of this generation are all extinguished by time.

Hmm, wasn't that the initial plan?

Then why did it become like this later?

How confusing, he's starting to forget things.

He starts wondering, have such consciousness disturbances been happening for a long time?

His thoughts begin to constantly tilt towards compromise.

His consciousness falling into chaos lasts longer, occurring more frequently.

Once again, he closes his eyes, everything remains calm, and upon opening, he sees the surging waves and raging tides in the River of Time.

He realizes there's no time to waste any further, he can no longer wait.

He thinks agreeing to Yu Ziqing's conditions is actually a rather decent choice.
