Chapter 1891 - 517: No Beginning, No Qi Shi

Even now, he feels that there is a Riddler nearby observing him with peripheral vision, never once looking directly at him.

Song did a good job bringing people, a new face that didn't enter the city through the gate, and in less than an hour, a Riddler already discovered him.

Yu Ziqing finished breakfast, glanced at the Riddler, nodded in acknowledgment, and stepped out, disappearing instantly.

After breakfast, it's better to see Zhang and the others first.

As an Emperor who doesn't handle matters, I live comfortably, but work must be done by someone. Zhang and the others have worked so hard, I should find something good to reward these old fellas and nourish them.

Seeing Zhang, he now has more white hair, presumably worried sick over the years.

"Your Majesty..."

"No need for formalities, I'm back, everything went relatively smoothly." Yu Ziqing hurried forward to support Zhang.

"It's good that Your Majesty is back." Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, genuinely worried that Yu Ziqing might never return once he left.

He learned from Yang what Yu Ziqing went to do, previously only knowing vaguely about it.

"Tell me about these years' events first, I need to know immediately..."

The return to the present world, making it complete, signifies that the murky and obscure River of Time will become clear, and all uncertainty will be determined at this moment.

Just to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Yu Ziqing must at least ensure he knows what the big picture is.

Even if the Ancient Sea God has some evil plans, intending to do something, at least the overall situation will not change.

As Zhang relayed the events of the past years to Yu Ziqing.

In the River of Time.

The Ancient Sea God merely floated there quietly, watching the murky River of Time slowly become clear.

The things represented by those waves started to shift from an uncertain foggy state to a state of determinacy.

If any change were to be made, now would be the most appropriate time.

However, the now restored rational Ancient Sea God did not make any arbitrary alterations; he just watched calmly.

Under normal circumstances, his tampering to achieve any change, whether positive or negative, is a highly improbable occurrence.

To alter it to the desired result, the odds are even slimmer.

Random blind tampering could lead to an unwatchable disaster.

Even if changes occur, they will be at least ninety-nine percent likely to be undesirable outcomes.

He wandered slowly, observing the parts that had shifted from murky to clear, using those elements to ascertain the timing.

After this incident, he genuinely dreaded the presence of Yu Ziqing.

Now, an opportunity lies before him to make a final attempt in this era, and he ponders whether to try it out.

In the River of Time, murky and obscure, filled with uncertainties, even the past remains uncertain at this moment.

This certainty must be verified against the present world's current existence.

The connection between the present world and the River of Time has yet to stabilize, and such an opportunity may never arise again.

He still bears in mind Yu Ziqing, wishing to return to the origin to see if there is any chance.

Before uncertainty transforms into certainty, to see if anything can be done.

If possible, his greatest hope would naturally be to erase the existence of Yu Ziqing.

If there is no chance, after rational thinking, he honestly feels preserving the status quo is best.

Completely abandoning this era, waiting until Yu Ziqing perishes, and then, at an appropriate time, stirring up trouble.

The Ancient Sea God was simply watching, and Shi was quietly observing as well.

Honestly, this time, it was surprising that the Ancient Sea God could endure until now, without altering anything, without doing anything, even Shi was a bit surprised.

But more so, he started to feel a bit worried.

He did not worry about the Ancient Sea God losing sanity, going mad, and stirring monstrous waves, churning the River of Time.

A mindless, water-brained individual is, in fact, the easiest to deal with.

No matter how challenging, at least the corresponding direction would be easily found.

If restraint is exercised and rationality is attained, even if it seems calm now, it might very well be laying a trap for the future.

The Ancient Sea God traveled along to the year when the Great Sun Dominating the Sky appeared over the Wilderness.

At that time, he identified a critical node during the days when countless people starved on the Wilderness.

However, despite multiple attempts, he could never alter the outcome there.

Now, returning here again, some parts are becoming clear.

While some areas remain murky and obscure, indicating they are still undetermined.

He found one of the waves, a clear wave, the largest one from this era.

It was the day Yu Ziqing starved to death.

The Ancient Sea God, watching the scenes within, still couldn't understand what happened that day.

He found Yu Ziqing from that day, only seeing Yu Ziqing starving to death.

And then, coming back to life.

That's it.

He completely couldn't comprehend what exactly transpired.

Moreover, he feels that there seems to be a significant gap in this process.

But it is already fixed, entirely unchangeable.

The Ancient Sea God didn't understand but was greatly shocked.

Apart from this, he has no way to alter it, but tracing further back, many areas remain murky and obscure.

In the past, if it wasn't a critical node, he not only couldn't alter it, but might not even be able to glimpse it.
