Covering the Sky: The Years I Was the Empress's Strictest Master

She slowly raised her delicate hand, her fingertips gently tracing a line in the air in front of her.

hum...

She activated the secret technique once more.

Invisible ripples of time spread out, and she, unwilling to give up, began to trace back the time and space of this place, from this moment to the past.

She wanted to see for herself what had happened here in the time before she arrived.

A hazy light and shadow appeared, reflecting the scene of this place not long ago.

In tracing the fragments of time and space, she "saw" that

The moment she stepped outside the Big Dipper Starfield and her divine sense swept across the Crimson Cloud River, she indeed sensed something at the bottom of the abyss.

But as time went on, she made no progress.

Under her gaze, that hazy feeling vanished completely, like a reflection in water scattered by a pebble.

It was as if everything before was just an illusion.

When she used the secret technique to rewind time again, she couldn't even deduce the vague outlines of the things that had once existed in this place.

Just as previously deduced, it is disordered and erroneous.

There are no unknown fluctuations, no energy dissipation, and no trace left that could definitively determine the outcome.

The first trace she captured vanished, strangely and completely, in the very scenes of her earliest recollections.

It was as if it had never existed.

No matter how hard she tried to trace it back, she could never recreate it!

Is it just an illusion?

What is going on here?

Her thoughts raced, and the Empress's emotions grew increasingly unstable.

Her fingertips trembled almost imperceptibly.

After becoming possessed by a demon, she became increasingly obsessive, and would never easily give up on anything.

She continued to rewind, trying to push the timeline forward, back to an even earlier period.

Tracing back to the initial outbreak of the anomaly here, when the "twilight" field that shrouded the Crimson Cloud River first appeared, and even further back to the time when she last explored this place but found nothing.

wow...

The flashbacks of light and shadow continue to replay.

Ultimately, she saw that this "twilight" field had emerged from the depths of this abyss about sixty years ago, gradually enveloping the entire vast territory of the Crimson Cloud River.

She saw it as the two giant monuments appeared, at the dawn of dusk.

There seemed to have been an extremely brief, yet unimaginably vast, energy fluctuation here; the fluctuation vanished in an instant.

If she hadn't turned back time and focused on this area, it would have been almost impossible to capture.

But the source of that fluctuation...

She had no way of knowing.

As for anything more, that's all.

As if by some unseen force, everything about the truth of this place, all the possible traces, became blurred and unclear, as if covered by an invisible veil.

Even with her cultivation as the current emperor, and by using forbidden secret techniques involving time and space to their fullest extent, disregarding the costs and consequences, she still found it difficult to penetrate that unknown "veil" and see the truth beneath.

Therefore, she can only make a judgment based on the differences between the present and past realities of this place.

However, even so,

The series of anomalies here already tells a lot.

This led her to consider many possibilities as she kept comparing them...

"It should be... the kind of mystical phenomenon that even multiple supreme beings working together couldn't deduce its whereabouts..."

The Empress slowly withdrew her hand, and the ripples of time before her dissipated.

She stood there, her eyes beneath the ghost mask gradually darkening.

Yes.

Tan Lin, her "good master," did indeed possess some incredible "secret technique" in the past, enabling her to do this.

Even now, having attained enlightenment, if she were to personally visit this place and use secret methods to rewind time, she would find it difficult to locate her.

This caused her to search for thousands of years to come to nothing time and time again.

This should be the only possibility...

The other party has not completely disappeared, nor has it truly perished.

It is very likely that it underwent a "rebirth" from death to life in this very place, in some special way.

However, he used that mysterious power to conceal his existence and prevent outsiders from spying on him.

Therefore, her previous attempts to explore the Big Dipper were all fruitless.

Therefore, despite her countless retrospectives in the universe over the years, she has been unable to find any trace of herself.

Even now, if she were to personally visit the Chixia River Abyss, which has clearly undergone drastic changes, she could only see two giant steles, but not him.

However, this is precisely what makes it unreasonable.

She clearly did this before...

Of course, there was another explanation that she could never accept.

The other person might be... avoiding her.

This thought, like a cold, venomous snake, suddenly darted into the Empress's heart, causing her already weary mind, burdened by the long search and the backlash of time and space, to tremble violently.

why?

Why keep avoiding her?

Is it that the process of Nirvana cannot be disturbed in the slightest?

Fearing that a sworn enemy might notice and take advantage of the situation?

Or... should I simply avoid her?

If it's the former, why not just tell her directly?

Wouldn't it be better to let her act as a protector?

With her current cultivation level, unless the supreme beings of a certain forbidden zone come out in full force, or multiple supreme beings abandon everything and directly achieve the ultimate sublimation, she will kill them as easily as slaughtering pigs and dogs if they dare to emerge!

She searched for him for a thousand years.

He traversed the starry sky, enduring countless backlashes from time travel, all to find a single clue to him, all to confirm his well-being.

Is there any possibility of returning...?

But what about him?

In this way, he kept the truth from her.

Let her search alone under the endless starry sky like a fool.

They oscillate between hope and despair, enduring the ever-accumulating fatigue and backlash.

wow...

My mind is in turmoil; the evil dragon within my heart is stirring up trouble.

At this moment, complex emotions surged like a burst dam, instantly shattering the calm that the Empress had forcibly maintained after falling into demonic possession.

Disappointment, grievance, confusion, bitterness...

And that obsession, buried deep for a thousand years but never extinguished, but instead growing ever more intense and even gradually distorted with each fruitless search, now spread wildly in her heart like wildfire.

At the end of the deep abyss of Chixia River.

boom……

The obsession that had intensified after he became possessed was completely ignited at this moment.

Beneath the demon mask, the Empress's once clear and lonely eyes gradually took on a dark, unsettling hue.

"Master..."

She murmured softly, her voice so gentle it seemed to carry shards of ice, echoing in the now empty and desolate depths of the abyss.

"Since you don't want to see me..."

"Then I will... find the 'answer' myself."

Da...da...

As she spoke to herself, the Empress slowly emerged from the abyss.

She did not use any more secret techniques to rewind the timeline along the way. Since the other party had used those "secret techniques" involving unknown powers to constantly conceal their intentions, she knew that rewinding the timeline would be futile.

However, her state of mind was colder and heavier than when she arrived.

The resentment and obsession that had accumulated over a thousand years now twisted and writhed within her heart like a poisonous vine, growing wildly and entwining her soul.

Emerging from the abyss, she stood above the Crimson Cloud River, her eyes beneath the ghost mask dark and unfathomable, then swept across the desolate land below, shrouded in twilight and where all things withered.

Then, she stopped concealing her aura.

boom!!

An indescribable, terrifying imperial might arose, like an ancient, slumbering beast suddenly awakening.

Immediately following, a massive eruption erupted from the Chixia River, sweeping across the entire Five Domains of the Big Dipper!

At this moment, throughout the Eastern Wilderness, Southern Ridge, Western Desert, Northern Plains, Central Continent… the entire ancient star of the Big Dipper, all cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level…

No matter where they were, they all felt that imperial aura that made their souls tremble and caused all the paths of heaven and earth to groan!

"What...what happened?!"

"What happened...?"

"This aura... it's that Devouring Emperor?!"

"When did she go back to Beidou?!"

"This time, the location is... Chixia River?!"

"My God! Even she's here. What does she want? Could it be that some divine sign has appeared in that forbidden area, attracting her attention?"

"..."

A sudden change occurred. In the five regions of the Big Dipper, countless cultivators looked up in horror, all gazing towards the direction of the Crimson Cloud River in the Southern Region, their hearts filled with endless fear.

The Devouring Emperor, who devoured the origins of all paths and attained enlightenment through the innate chaotic body, is an unpredictable being whose every descent into the Big Dipper is accompanied by towering waves.

This time, it has descended again, and it is unabashedly unleashing its imperial might. What is its intention?

No one knows the answer to this.

But everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

However, judging from its posture, it seemed to have just emerged from the depths of the Crimson Cloud River.

What exactly happened there?

Has it already ventured into the abyss to find out?

Among the speculations, especially in recent years, those forces and heroes who have some connection with Chixia River, or who have entered that forbidden area and gained some knowledge of it, are likely to...

Undoubtedly, they were terrified under that oppressive aura, and they all closed their mountain gates or went into hiding, fearing that they would be targeted by this evil star.

At the same time,

In the Primordial Ancient Mine, one of the forbidden zones for life in the northern part of the Eastern Wilderness,
