Chapter 1899 - 520: The Original Starting Point, Paradox

The Evil Lord couldn't discover who was peeping at him, he just set his Dao here, borrowing the path of the Seven Yin, which relates to the Mist Sea.

He naturally sensed the grand subject Yu Ziqing left behind here.

Unfortunately, the Evil Lord could only sense it, unlike the Primordial Lord, who could instantly find a way to solve it upon sensing the grand subject and smoothly come up with a solution.

Unable to find the observer, the Evil Lord continued his secluded cultivation here, intending to consolidate well, stabilize first, and then proceed.

On the other side, in the River of Time, the Ancient Sea God, once bitten by a snake, was fearful of ropes for ten years. Just sensing a slight inkling, immediately gave up the pursuit for the observer.

But in that vague, slightly formed connection, it was enough to let the power in the Mist Sea project over in an instant.

The Primordial Lord seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, using that tiny shard of emotional power as a guide to grasp the connection, quietly stabilizing it.

He himself pondered over the grand subject Yu Ziqing introduced; that sort of connection was sheerly different from now.

This connection was brought about by the Ancient Sea God's own initiative to peep, bringing it into such a unique perspective.

Just like in the past when the Ancient Sea God brought back a seed of fear while holding a counterfeit crystal ball.

Even if that trace of extremely weak power vanished swiftly, dissipating already, the connection was built.

The Primordial Lord values this connection greatly.

This connection might not necessarily strengthen his Divine Skills by much, but it certainly can be showcased here after understanding the Divine Skills, allowing its power to be unleashed to the fullest.

Even if there was perhaps this potential power, it was not enough before confirmation. The Primordial Lord does not wish to give up any opportunity to increase hope, even by a fraction, or power, even by a fraction.

With an obsession spanning two eras, paying an enormous price, the Primordial Lord would never deal with such matters perfunctorily.

If there was a chance to exert twelve points of effort, exerting only ten would be perfunctory to him.

The Primordial Lord stared at the Ancient Sea God; now he did not follow to drag him down because the things the Ancient Sea God went to alter simply could not be altered.

The Ancient Sea God gazed at Yu Ziqing, and there was nothing surprising about it to him.

Yu Ziqing's battle achievements were dazzling, a presence that could not be concealed no matter how.

Now, even wandering around, blending in and eating for free everywhere, the Ancient Sea God would probably also regard this move as certainly having deep significance.

The Ancient Sea God dared not underestimate, for indeed, there were precedents.

During the two years when Yu Ziqing appeared, the Ancient Sea God continuously searched for information, constantly attempted to alter information, trying to unearth Yu Ziqing's past, origin, and former times.

He believed the past Yu Ziqing hid could be Yu Ziqing's fatal flaw.

Otherwise, why would Yu Ziqing use some unknown method to completely obscure it?

Indeed, even when the Ancient Sea God took advantage of the window when the River of Time turned from murky to clear to search, it also yielded nothing.

He attempted to alter some minor details, as before.

At most, only some trivial peripheral details were altered, but this had not a shred of effect on the outcome.

The biggest change made was simply whether Yu Ziqing, when starved to death, raised the middle finger of his left or right hand — just that small difference.

He could not even alter the last defiant gesture of raising the middle finger.

For this gesture had long become one of the iconic, miraculous postures within the Hungry Ghost Dao.

Under extensive research and over-interpretation by hungry ghosts and various big figures interested in them.

This gesture represented resistance, an unyielding defiance to the death.

It symbolized that many hungry ghosts had become ghosts due to the madness brought by hunger, yet even that madness couldn't destroy their will.

Anyway, as time passed, the posture of Yu Ziqing collapsing when starved the first time was imbued with meaning.

That moment became increasingly unalterable.

Just like the existence itself in the living world, no matter how the Ancient Sea God went mad, he couldn't alter it, even if he stirred up massive waves in the River of Time.

The Ancient Sea God did not expect to alter it; he just used the process to search for clues and dig for information.

As time passed, with continuous unremitting alteration, not resting, the times trying to alter Yu Ziqing's first starvation over those two years, alongside previous attempts, already totaled in the millions now.

There was no success in altering, and he was not surprised.

Yet, he had now narrowed the timeframe to within three months.

From one month before the Great Sun Dominating the Sky appeared to within two months after the Great Sun's appearance.

He speculated that Yu Ziqing utilized the existence of the Great Sun Dominating the Sky to obscure and erase his past.

Because the Great Sun Dominating the Sky was unalterable.

He felt he was about to find the thread's end.

As long as he found the connection between what Yu Ziqing obscured, erased, and the untouched parts.

Then, he had confidence to follow one thread to find all the concealed significant parts thereafter.

Close, he was close to grasping it.

When the Ancient Sea God had rationality and focused on one thing he excelled at, he was quite formidable.

In the circumstance of being unable to alter the outcome, he could still trace back by following slight distinctions of little waves.

Soon, he traced back from the day Yu Ziqing first starved to death all the way to the day the Great Sun Dominating the Sky appeared.
