I see Qingshan

Chapter 99 Start over
Thinking of this, Tang Xin dared not delve any deeper into the matter.

Many things remain unclear at this stage, and even if her guess is true, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's related to the Yellow Emperor.

Tang Xin weighed the stone in her hand: "Weren't you in seclusion?"

Upon hearing this, the Black Stone slowly spoke: "I was awakened by the fluctuations of your time reversal, but it wasn't long before I escaped."

At this moment, Tang Xin became interested and carefully examined the large black rock: "What exactly are you? How did you get trapped inside this rock?"

Daheishi sneered and said, "I know you're wary of me, but there's no need. If I really wanted to harm you, you probably wouldn't be alive today. You should have died at the hands of Huashe back then."

Tang Xin didn't say much about this. What Da Heishi said made sense. If Da Heishi hadn't revealed the news about Taiping Lake and Zhangzhu to her, she might not have been able to hold out until Qin Ying and the spirit monkey appeared.

If Big Blackstone really wanted to harm me, there was no need for such trouble.

Besides, she and Daheishi had spent a long time together, and although they weren't particularly close, they weren't enemies either.

Upon learning that the giant black stone was about to be freed, Tang Xin carefully wiped the dust off the stone with her sleeve: "Boss, let me wipe it for you, look how dirty it is."

Big Black Stone said with a half-smile, "Don't play these games. You know I'm coming out soon, and now you want to curry favor with me? Don't worry, with that person protecting you, I wouldn't dare to have any designs on you."

"Who exactly is it?"

Tang Xin didn't know how many times she had heard the black stone speak in riddles; it was a complete riddle stone.

Big Black Stone sighed: "I dare not say before we are freed. However, that person probably has no intention of harming you. In fact, I suspect that our meeting was also arranged by that person. The premise is that you really went back in time many times. I can't be sure now. Looking ahead, you and I have a common enemy. In fact, regardless of whether it was arranged by that person or not, I will not harm you."

Hearing what Daheishi said, Tang Xin became even more puzzled.

Does she and Big Black Stone share a common enemy?
If you treat others kindly, where will you find enemies?
Just as Tang Xin was about to press for an answer, Min Niu's voice suddenly came: "Tang Xin, why are you talking to a stone?"

Tang Xin patted Min Niu's head: "How did you see that?"

Min Niu: "I have big eyes, and I also have a keen eye, so I can observe my surroundings."

Tang Xin: "..." Erlang Shen?
She asked with some suspicion, "Didn't I speak to Stone the last few times I came here?"

Min Niu shook her head naturally: "No, you were very quiet when I was driving you."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xin's expression turned strange, and she secretly wondered, "Could it be that before the previous few times I went back in time, I had no interaction with the Big Black Stone?"

Seeing Tang Xin staring at him in confusion, Da Heishi said, "Don't look at me, I don't know what's going on either. If you've never encountered me during your several time travels, then your timeline this time is already messed up."

Tang Xin: "What do you mean?"

Big Black Stone: "Think carefully about what you did when you first met me."

Tang Xin blurted out, "Smash the barrier, then..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Xin's expression changed slightly.

Big Black Stone laughed and said, "It seems you've figured it out."

Tang Xin's expression was unpredictable.

Assuming she had never encountered the Black Stone before the previous large-scale time travels, she wouldn't have been able to break through the barrier and escape so quickly. She would likely have been trapped in the inn for much longer, perhaps several days or even dozens of days. However, after this time travel, she encountered the Black Stone and immediately used it to break through the barrier, causing the timeline to become disordered.

What happens after that is unlikely to be consistent with previous recollections.

If this comes true, my encounter with the Black Stone would create a variable that would cause a significant deviation from the previously predetermined path.

Moreover, if it weren't for the Great Black Stone in the past, she would never have known that Taiping Lake restrains the serpent, and she would never have gone to Taiping Lake, nor would she have seen Zhangzhu...

"I seem to understand."

Tang Xin gasped, finally understanding the meaning behind Zhangzhu's words when she spoke with her at the bottom of Taiping Lake.

The pearl in its palm possesses the ability to travel through different times and spaces, including the past and future, and must have observed all of its own backtracking trajectories.

Tang Xin hadn't forgotten a single word of what her daughter had said.

"You may have taken the wrong path, but how many times can you start over?"

"No wonder your divine power is so weak..."

And, tell her not to forget her original aspirations and not to be swayed by anything.

Zhangzhu said she had taken the wrong path and even told her not to forget her original aspirations, which Tang Xin couldn't understand for the time being.

As for the issue of weak divine power and the possibility of starting over, she had already figured it out.

"Returning" refers to a large-scale rewind, bringing everything back to the beginning, while the weakness of divine power is due to the repeated use of this extremely terrifying ability.

This is tantamount to direct proof that she did indeed conduct multiple large-scale backtracking sessions!
It now seems that some beings knew her rewind was useless and that she would continue along the same path, so they arranged for her to meet the Black Stone, because the Black Stone could shatter the barrier and advance the timeline!

The Black Stone also knew that Taiping Lake restrained the serpent, and mysteriously guided him to Taiping Lake to meet the Pearl!

Originally, Tang Xin guessed that the reason she had gone through several large-scale retrospectives was because she had died at the hands of the snake.

But she quickly rejected this idea, since she had been to Shan Hai before during the previous time travels, and the timelines didn't match.

Besides, if she can't even handle the snake transformation and has to use large-scale rewind several times, then she deserves to die!
This shows that regardless of whether the large black stone exists or not, the snake will be dealt with by itself.

The key point isn't the snake transformation, but the pearl in her palm!

As for what role Zhangzhu played in all of this, Tang Xin was not sure yet, but it seemed that it shouldn't be as simple as just saving her life.

Finally, besides himself, the only one who could remain unaffected by time reversal was the Yellow Emperor, as previously speculated!

In other words, the person mentioned by the black stone is most likely the Yellow Emperor?!
Thinking of this, Tang Xin tentatively asked, "You just said that our meeting was arranged by someone. The person you're talking about is the Yellow Emperor, right?"

Upon hearing the sound, Tang Xin clearly felt the stone in her hand tremble almost imperceptibly.

After a long pause, the big black stone finally spoke: "What Yellow Emperor?"

Tang Xin's lips curled up slightly: "Stop pretending, I've seen through the whole truth, and I also know that the Yellow Emperor is the... Green Pine in my backyard!"

Big Black Stone remained silent for a full quarter of an hour: "First of all, I didn't say anything. It's all your own speculation and has nothing to do with me. Secondly, why did you make that judgment?"
