Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 118 No Past in Time? The Great Luo's Karma Blocks the Way, Quasi-Saints Protect the Path from All Directions, and Hongjun's Hand

At this moment, Su Shao Chen was like a small fish drifting with the current, powerless in the river of time. There was no concept of time here; it was as if he could only see the flow of time.

No matter what kind of power one enters this place, they will be baptized by time. If they are not careful, they will be erased by time or trapped in an endless time loop...

To become a Great Luo Golden Immortal, one must enter the River of Time. For a Great Luo Golden Immortal, this is both the final tribulation and an unparalleled opportunity.

Once you transcend the river of time, you will no longer be eroded by time and will remain eternally pristine.

Although reaching the Golden Immortal realm grants immortality and eliminates worries about lifespan, the effects of time still apply. This erosion can affect one's magical power, primordial spirit, and Dao heart, among other things.

The same applies to the Taiyi realm, only the duration differs. Although it is called immortal, the will and mind are not immortal. They will still be eroded by time over the long course of the universe, eventually losing everything, dissolving into the primordial chaos, and becoming a part of the rules of heaven and earth...

But the Great Luo is different. After achieving the Great Luo, one completely transcends the river of time and is no longer affected by time. One can even leave one's own Dao traces in the river of time. Even if one perishes in the primordial world, one can be resurrected by relying on the Dao traces in the river of time.

At this moment, Su Shao Chen's Dao Fruit stands in the river of time, and the Dao of Literature transforms into a boat, carrying Su Shao Chen's Dao Fruit upstream.

As if sensing the existence of a transcendent being, the river of time stirred up endless waves, attempting to erode this rebel with the power of time itself.

But no matter how the winds and waves of time erode him, Su Shao Chen always remained steadfast in his Dao heart. His Dao fruit radiated strands of literary Dao light and golden light of merit, traveling further and further in the long river of time.

The changes in the river of time were also sensed by many powerful beings in the primordial world, and some quasi-saints all turned their gazes toward the river of time.

The Three Immortals of Sanxiao also appeared in the river of time at that moment. Then, the senior disciples of the Jie Sect, Duobao and Zhao Gongming, also appeared, looking at Su Shaochen as if they were protectors.

The Emperor of Fengdu, who was in the underworld, sensed the movement of his true form. The next moment, the space fluctuated, and his figure appeared in the River of Time, standing with his hands behind his back.

"It seems that even without me, the original body can remain unharmed~" Emperor Fengdu murmured to himself. Then, he glanced at the traces of cause and effect between himself and the original body in front of the River of Time. With a wave of his sleeve, a wisp of Netherworld Law condensed from the Book of Man immediately protected the Path of Literature, making it travel more steadily on the River of Time.

"In the past, you were caused by my karma, and now I will help you eliminate your karma!" The Emperor of Fengdu glanced at his true form, putting on a show for all the powerful beings of the primordial world, and then his figure disappeared into the river of time.

Upon hearing the words of the Fengdu Emperor, Sanxiao, Duobao, and Zhao Gongming couldn't help but look at the Lord of Mount Tai, Yinguo, who was blocking Su Shao Chen's path. They naturally knew what it was about...

Years ago, Junior Nephew Shao Chen entered the Netherworld to perform good deeds and competed with Lord Taishan for the Dao. In the end, Junior Sister Yunxiao intervened and killed Lord Taishan. But now it seems that the other party did not perish in the primordial world and may have entered reincarnation to cultivate again. Otherwise, this karma would have been resolved long ago!

"Haha, cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. The great power of the primordial world is all about struggle. What caused the past can be caused by karma, and what caused the present can be severed!" A wisp of divine thought of a sage appeared in the river of time at this moment. Looking at Su Shao Chen, he waved his sleeve and a wisp of sage law was added to Su Shao Chen's Dao Fruit, making him move faster in the river of time. His tone was calm yet domineering.

His words were heard by all the powerful beings present, but none of them dared to deny the sage's words...

At the same time, Su Shao Chen's Dao Fruit also stopped on the river of time, looking at the Lord of Mount Tai who appeared in the form of a Great Luo Dao Fruit.

"You want to stop me? I know you have already reincarnated. I originally wanted you to return to your true self and then settle our karmic debts. Do you want to settle our karmic debts here and now?" Su Shao Chen looked at the Lord of Mount Tai with an indifferent tone, showing no change whatsoever because of the Lord of Mount Tai's appearance.

It was as if the Lord of Mount Tai was just a clown in front of him. Since he was able to win back then, it might have been because of his status as a disciple of a sage, but that was also part of his strength. This time, even if no one else intervened, he could still win!

He, Su Shao Chen, is no longer the Su Shao Chen who entered the Netherworld!

Lord Taishan looked at Su Shao Chen with a somewhat gloomy expression, then at the group of disciples of the Jie Sect. In the end, he did not make a move. Didn't you see that several Quasi-Saints of the Jie Sect were present, and even Saints were watching? If he were to settle his karmic debts with Su Shao Chen here, he would be the one who suffers...

"We are you!" Taishanfu glanced at Su Shaochen, whose aura made even this ancient deity, who had existed since the beginning of time, unable to suppress his emotions.

Having said that, he disappeared into the river of time along with Lord Taishan. Su Shao Chen, watching the traces of his disappearance, calmly said, "Alright, at that time, karma will be settled. Life and death are predestined, and the Great Dao is in the hands of Heaven!"

After the Lord of Mount Tai disappeared, Su Shao Chen prepared to continue his journey against the current. However, after traveling an unknown distance, another Great Luo Golden Immortal appeared in front of him, with a very heavy karmic connection to Su Shao Chen.

The powerful beings activated their divine eyes and saw that this person was none other than Shang Wu of the Great Shang Dynasty. When they sensed Shang Wu's current realm, they couldn't help but exclaim that this young man had monstrous talent and was a promising candidate for Quasi-Saint in the future!

More than 90,000 years ago, Shang Wu had already attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Now, 90,000 years later, his cultivation has reached the high level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, demonstrating his extraordinary talent...

"Shang Wu greets fellow Daoist." Shang Wu bowed and paid his respects in the river of time.

"Wenchang greets fellow Daoist. The cause and effect between my Wendao and the Great Shang will be settled in the future. This is the destiny ordained by Heaven, and also the destiny of the Jie Sect. I will certainly not disappoint you in the future."

At this moment, Shang Wu seems to represent the fate of the entire Shang Dynasty. Su Shao Chen has no karmic connection with Shang Wu, but he has a very deep karmic connection with the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, it is normal for Shang Wu to appear here...

"Very well, Fellow Daoist Wenchang is absolutely right. Then I will await your arrival in Shang." After saying this, Shang Wu's figure disappeared into the river of time.

He had no choice but to come this time. He hadn't paid any attention to the chaos of the ninth emperor of the Shang Dynasty, nor had he touched the foundation of the Shang Dynasty.

But during the reign of Tai Ding, the Shang Dynasty was peaceful and prosperous, with all people submitting to its rule. This tranquility made him vaguely aware of the impending change in the Shang Dynasty's fate.

It seemed as if the fate of the nation was constantly telling him that the Shang Dynasty's reign would only last a few years...

This made Shang Wu realize that the human race might once again be waging war...

Therefore, he came in person. Su Shao Chen's words made him understand that there might be another change of dynasties among the human race within ten thousand years. Saints would place their bets, disciples would emerge, and a great calamity would vie for the Dao.

In the past, at the end of the Xia Dynasty, before the great calamity of the primordial era, the Xia Dynasty was in decline and the people were in turmoil. A new world was about to emerge.

But now the situation is different. His Shang Dynasty has made all sides surrender and submit, and all people are happy and content. The fate of the country is about to be overthrown.

This led him to speculate that this great calamity might also be a calamity for the Shang Dynasty.

If they survive, the Shang Dynasty can continue for tens of thousands of years, standing tall on the ancient land, dominating all directions.

They lost, just like the Xia Dynasty...

After Shang Wu left, Su Shao Chen seemed to be deep in thought. He then put his thoughts aside and continued to go upstream. His movements did not stop because of Shang Wu's appearance. He gathered all the traces of time in the river of time back onto himself.

If a Great Immortal wants to transcend, he needs to reclaim all traces of his own time from the river of time until there are no traces of him left in the river of time.

He traveled through the past, arriving at the scene where he first encountered Master Yunxiao in the primordial world. Beyond that, his past no longer existed in the primordial world.

Moreover, even if one wanted to explore it, it would be shrouded in an extremely mysterious law, which even a sage could not fathom.

Seeing this, Tongtian knew it must be the work of his master, or perhaps it was unknown...

When it was time for Su Shao Chen to collect the Netherworld Land, the Tongtian Sect Master also made his move, using an unparalleled saintly law to conceal his actions, making them invisible to countless powerful beings of the primordial world...

Meanwhile, in the Netherworld, Lady Pingxin sensed something and her gaze pierced through all paths until she saw Su Shao Chen in the River of Time, after which she paid no more attention to him.
