Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

Kaiyang Saint Son led Luo Tian back to the Yellow Sand Ruins.

"Oh, right, I haven't introduced them yet. This is the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, who is currently traveling with me. This is the Holy Son of Kaiyang, my junior brother."

Luo Tian first introduced the two to each other.

Only then did Kaiyang Saint Son notice Yaochi Saintess beside Luo Tian.

He scratched his head sheepishly.

"Ah, so you're the Holy Maiden of Yaochi who's going to become my senior brother's Daoist partner, haha... I'm sorry you had to laugh at me earlier..."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not even close to happening. The Holy Maiden of Yaochi is devoted to the Dao and has never been interested in matters of men and women."

Luo Tian quickly clarified.

It's not good to bring up old misunderstandings now, since a misunderstanding just happened under the twin Sala trees not long ago.

"Brother Luo Tian, ​​are you concerned about Saintess Tianxuan? Are you afraid that if she hears these words, she will be displeased?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi smiled charmingly.

"The Holy Maiden is joking..."

Luo Tianqian laughed twice.

Over time, he gradually realized that the Holy Maiden of Yaochi was not as serene as he had imagined.

Luo Tian quickly changed the subject.

"Junior Brother Kaiyang, you still haven't told us what happened, why you suddenly attacked us."

"Senior Brother, you might not believe it, but I have experienced one cycle of reincarnation after another."

With a wry smile, Kaiyang Shengzi recounted his experiences of time loops in detail.

"Senior brother, your finding this place might just be the next cycle of reincarnation I'm going through."

"Junior brother, don't panic, let me think about it first."

After listening to the story told by the Holy Son of Kaiyang, Luo Tian was surprised but not panicked.

The system he possesses is itself related to fate and reincarnation.

So, is the Holy Son of Kaiyang really experiencing one cycle of reincarnation after another, opening up one world line after another?

the answer is negative.

Luo Tian absorbed fragments of destiny, which contained predetermined future segments.

In his view, it was merely a possibility of prediction, not a parallel world that had already occurred.

Every world is unique.

Just like superposition in quantum mechanics, once observed, the superposition collapses and becomes a definite fact.

"Holy Maiden, do you believe in reincarnation?"

Luo Tian inquired with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi pondered for a moment, then gently shook her head.

"Everything in the world has its own laws, and the laws of nature cycle naturally. There may be reincarnation in the world, but it is something that ancient divine beasts could never touch. What the Holy Son of Kaiyang experienced was nothing more than a false reality woven by others."

"good."

Luo Tian nodded in agreement, then smiled at Kaiyang Shengzi.

"Don't worry, junior brother. I suspect that what you experienced was not a true future reincarnation. On the contrary, what you experienced was actually a false history left over from the past, like a dream."

"Senior brother, are you saying that everything I experienced before was just a dream?"

Kaiyang Shengzi was somewhat agitated.

Luo Tianze was confident of success.

"This should be a spacetime magic array, which imprisons people within it by disrupting spacetime and weaving history, preventing them from escaping. Therefore, as long as this spacetime magic array is broken, everything will naturally fall into place."

"Brother Luo Tian, ​​how do you plan to break this?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi blinked curiously.

"Since the other side laid out this future formation in the past, we can simply go back to the past along the path of the future."

Luo Tian said confidently.

Once you understand the principles of the spacetime array and possess spacetime-related abilities, breaking the array is not impossible.

Dijiang's spatial power converged in his eyes.

Luo Tian opened his eyes, his pupils gleaming with a silvery-white light.

At the same time, he formed a hand seal.

"The Divine Decree of Shenxiao - The Immortal Points the Way".

A sword light appeared above Luo Tian's head, its tip pointing in a distant direction.

"Follow the direction of the sword tip; it's time to meet the person who set up the formation."

Luo Tian led the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and the Holy Son of Kaiyang, walking at the very front.

He did not fully understand the spacetime array, nor could he travel through time.

However, this spacetime array itself spans the past and present, leaving a path that allows one to travel from the past to the future, and of course, to trace back to the past from the future.

Follow the direction the sword tip points, and go against the current.

Gradually, thick fog enveloped Luo Tian and his companions.

After an unknown amount of time, the thick fog gradually dissipated, revealing a colossal, dark shadow that blotted out the sky, enveloping Luo Tian.

A savage, ancient, and primordial aura swept over us.

Although he couldn't see the other party's true face, Luo Tian could guess the other party's identity just from the other party's enormous, endlessly winding body.

Zhu Jiuyin.

Also known as Zhulong.

It has a human face and a snake's body, and is red in color. Its eyes are straight and upright. When it closes its eyes, it is dark; when it opens them, it is bright. It neither eats, sleeps, nor breathes. It is summoned by wind and rain.

A dragon coiling in the river of time.

"Later generations pay homage to their elders."

Luo Tian respectfully bowed to Zhu Jiuyin.

He could guess that Zhu Jiu was hiding in the Emperor's Fall Secret Realm.

But I never imagined that the one hidden in the Emperor's Fall Secret Realm would be the real Zhu Jiuyin, and that his true form was still in the distant past ancient era.

The power of time is truly unimaginable.

Luo Tian turned to look at the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and the Holy Son of Kaiyang, only to find that the two had vanished without a trace.

"No need to look anymore. The two of them are traveling with you, and each has their own destiny here."

A booming voice echoed in Luo Tian's sea of ​​consciousness.

This is a message from Zhu Jiuyin.

"Little one, you've followed my trail all this way, even going against the flow of time to come here. Did you want to see me?"

"Isn't it the senior who wants to see me?"

Luo Tian smiled slightly.

Zhu Jiuyin is the master of time, and it is impossible for him to be unable to foresee even a fraction of the future.

The so-called reincarnation experienced by the Holy Son of Kaiyang is most likely a possible future predicted by Zhu Jiuyin.

Therefore, he must have also seen Luo Tian's future of going against the tide, and for this reason, he specially left behind this spacetime array.

"You're good; you're able to recognize that."

Zhu Jiuyin opened his eyes.

The shadows and darkness receded quickly, and the whole world seemed to enter daylight.

Its eyes hang high in the sky, and when viewed through the thin mist, they resemble a blinding sun.

"I know you are collecting our essence and blood, and I even know what you intend to do with it, but I see no result."

Zhu Jiuyin had already seen through everything.

"That's why you sent me here."

Luo Tian said solemnly.

"That's right, your opponent is also our opponent. This is a battle destined to be fought, so I will lend you a hand."

After saying this, Zhu Jiuyin twisted his body.

This slight movement alone stirred up a violent storm.

When the storm subsided, a beam of golden light pierced through the thunderclouds that had been obscuring the sun, transforming into a single golden ray that pierced into Luo Tian's brow.

A powerful radiance instantly filled Luo Tian's mind.

"I'm giving you my life essence and the Taoist techniques you need."

Zhu Jiuyin spoke slowly.

"But you are just a mortal. Although you have some blood ties with us and have received our essence and blood, you alone cannot use that magic."

"I know, but like me, all he got was a degraded product."

Luo Tian did not deny it, but he was not discouraged either.

"In that case, you can go back. There's only one thing: having used our strength, we cannot afford to lose!"

The thick fog returned.

Zhu Jiuyin is about to see his guest off.

Seeing that the thick fog was about to completely bury him, Luo Tian quickly asked.

"Wait a minute, where are my two companions?"

"They've already gone back."

The voice of Zhu Jiuyin drifted over.

They are so close, yet separated by countless years.

As the thick fog gradually dissipated, Luo Tian found himself back in the ruins of the Yellow Sands.

At the same moment, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and the Holy Son of Kaiyang also appeared before them.

"Holy Maiden, Junior Brother, how are you two?"

Luo Tian looked at the two of them curiously.

"Senior brother, after I emerged from the mist, I encountered a tribe. Those people taught me body-refining techniques and dragged me along to hunt ancient beasts. It was so much fun, hahaha..."

Kaiyang Shengzi's skin was much darker than before.

His vital energy surged many times over, almost creating a terrifying force field around him.

Looking at the Holy Maiden of Yaochi again, her appearance remained unchanged.

If I had to put it into words, it would be that her aura had become much more ethereal and otherworldly, as if she had truly become a banished fairy.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi gazed into the distance, as if recalling the distant past, and spoke softly.

"I witnessed the pillar of heaven collapse, the earth's axis break, and all living beings weep, but then a goddess mended the sky..."
