Chapter 508 - 515: The River of Time and Space

"What is this?"

Doubt flickered in Song Wanning’s heart.

’I was clearly in the Eighteen Layers of Hell. Where have I been teleported to?’

The Golden Small Sword and the other little guys were all perched on Song Wanning’s shoulder, also staring curiously at the river of light before them.

It was the first time they had ever seen a river floating in mid-air...

"Ah, I know!!!"

Suddenly, the Dragon Spirit let out a sharp cry and flew up in excitement.

"It’s the River of Time and Space!!! The legendary River of Time and Space!!!!!"

It was so excited it could barely stop itself from charging straight into the River of Time and Space.

"Sister, I found something just like this in my inherited memories. This must be the River of Time and Space!!!!"

"And those things floating inside it are all Time-Space Fragments!"

Time cannot be reversed; this is one of the Heavenly Dao Rules.

Back then, in order to allow Song Wanning to be reborn, the Heavenly Dao of the Lower World had nearly shattered, weakening itself to the point where it couldn’t even deal with a single outside invader.

But within these rules, there was one exception: the River of Time and Space.

But the River of Time and Space was too mysterious, and the Dragon Spirit didn’t know much about it, only that the Time-Space Fragments could be captured...

Moreover, the attribute of space-time was simply too profound.

Although Song Wanning had learned how to use the Space-Time Talisman, she had only scratched the surface. It couldn’t even be said that she had begun to master it.

Now, upon seeing the River of Time and Space, Song Wanning’s heart gave a sudden leap.

She slowly approached the River of Time and Space. Its hazy radiance was dreamlike and fantastical.

Countless specks of light seemed to flicker and dance within it.

A Time-Space Fragment flashed past like a shooting star, trailing a tail as it quickly vanished at the other end of the river.

The visible section of the river was only about ten meters long, extending into the darkness.

Song Wanning couldn’t perceive its end, nor did she know where the River of Time and Space led.

She didn’t even know where she was.

"Let’s scout the area first, then we can decide whether to try and capture these Time-Space Fragments."

There were far too few records of the River of Time and Space. She didn’t dare to act rashly; it was better to be cautious.

So, she began to explore her surroundings.

...

「Immortal Realm, the Land of the Sky Chasm.」

Mo Yang Immortal Venerable led the other Immortals to the Heavenly Abyss, where they engaged in battle with monsters from beyond the heavens.

These monsters were numberless, emerging one after another from the Heavenly Abyss. A dense, dark horde, they soon overran the entire Land of the Sky Chasm.

These monsters primarily sustained themselves by eating hearts, regardless of whether they belonged to humans, Immortals, demons, or animals.

All were their food.

To prevent the monsters from spreading beyond the Heavenly Abyss, the Immortals all fought with all their might.

Their strength was astonishing; a single move could slay hundreds or even thousands of monsters.

But the monsters kept coming, one wave after another, impossible to completely exterminate.

"Immortal Venerable, this Heavenly Abyss was left behind after the great war of antiquity. We have no idea what lies beyond it."

"But all these monsters are emerging from the Heavenly Abyss. Could it be that the other side is filled with nothing but these creatures?"

Someone asked Mo Yang Immortal Venerable anxiously, their heart filled with worry.

’If the monsters can’t be wiped out, who knows how long we’ll be stuck here.’

Mo Yang Immortal Venerable’s power was transcendent. Although everyone came from different factions, they all tacitly followed his orders.

No one dared to utter a single word of dissent.

Mo Yang Immortal Venerable swung his sword, and countless monsters were hacked to pieces. All that remained were endless flashes of sword light.

His eyes glinted coldly. "For now, we can’t figure out what lies beyond the Heavenly Abyss. Our only option is to keep slaughtering them. Once the Array Masters have the suppression Array ready, we will seal this place!!!!"

Just as they had said, none of them could be certain what the scene was like beyond the Heavenly Abyss.

Therefore, sealing it was perhaps the best method.

Mo Yang Immortal Venerable’s cold gaze swept over the scene, and he swung his sword once more.

As long as they stood guard, these monsters could forget about breaking through the Heavenly Abyss.

...

"This place... it’s so familiar."

Song Wanning stared at the fractured space not far away, her expression dazed.

The scene was both familiar and strange.

She had seen it before in the Demon God’s memories.

Back then, when the Heavenly Gods and the Demon God fought their great war, the world had collapsed, and this place... this was the main battlefield.

Although this was just a corner of it, and so much time had passed, the aura of the Demon God still lingered.

For a moment, Song Wanning felt as if she had returned to that battlefield.

The heavens crumbled, the earth split, all things were destroyed, and the rules collapsed...

Now, all that remained was a colossal fractured space, floating in this space tunnel.

"To think that a mere beam of light actually brought me into a space tunnel..."

A bitter smile touched the corners of Song Wanning’s lips.

A space tunnel was ethereal and illusory, with no path back.

’How am I supposed to return to the Spirit Realm?’

For a moment, Song Wanning was lost. If she remained trapped in the space tunnel, her lifespan could very well be exhausted here.

Left with no choice, she could only search all around for a way out.

But she circled the space tunnel again and again, and found nothing...

Resigned, she finally returned to the River of Time and Space.

The River of Time and Space before her was still mysterious. Perhaps it had been affected during the great war, causing a segment of it to become trapped here.

But Song Wanning could see the Time-Space Fragments slipping away to some unknown destination. This meant that the River of Time and Space could pass through this space tunnel.

To test her hypothesis, she took out a silk scarf and tossed it into the River of Time and Space.

The next second, the scarf drifted away with the river and was then absorbed into an unknown space.

It vanished without a trace.

"Perhaps the River of Time and Space is a way to leave this place."

Song Wanning’s heart stirred; she seemed to have found a glimmer of hope.

Her gaze quickly fell back upon the floating Time-Space Fragments.

’I need to comprehend the Time Attribute. This is an opportunity right in front of me, and I absolutely cannot miss it.’

That being the case, she had to capture a Time-Space Fragment, and then figure out how to leave this place via the River of Time and Space.

’Even though I don’t know where the other end leads, it’s still better than being trapped to death in this space tunnel.’

Putting thought into action, Song Wanning began trying to capture a Time-Space Fragment.

Her movements were incredibly fast, yet she couldn’t even touch the fragments, watching them slip away time and time again.

Song Wanning wasn’t discouraged. She knew that if Time-Space Fragments were that easy to catch, they wouldn’t be so precious.

...

「Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Abyss.」

The sealing Array was finally ready.

The Array Masters carefully carried more than ten Array Plates over to Mo Yang Immortal Monarch’s side.

’As long as these Array Plates are put in place, we should be able to seal this opening. Then the monsters shouldn’t be able to get out anymore...’

Hearing this news, the other Immortals all breathed a sigh of relief.

’The monsters themselves aren’t scary, but their endless numbers are terrifying.’

’The sooner this is suppressed, the sooner we can leave!’

Mo Yang Immortal Monarch glanced at the Array Plates, a chill flashing in the depths of his eyes.

He looked toward the Heavenly Abyss, slew a charging monster with a single sword strike, and then commanded in a loud voice, "Everyone, protect them with all your might!"

"KILL—"

The Immortals madly surged toward the monsters, quickly clearing a path for the Array Masters.
