Chapter 2419

The bustle between the stars lasted a full two hundred and ten thousand years, spanning many generations of cultivators, before it gradually came to an end.

At this moment, appearing in the starry sky was a vast formation spanning hundreds of thousands of star domains and countless worlds, known as the Formation of the River of Time, the Passage of Ages, Causality, and Soul-Tracking Lockdown.

Though it took only two hundred and ten thousand years, this was actually built upon the foundation of the immortal Dao civilization that had flourished to its peak over thirty million years under the Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Dynasty, having undergone numerous immortal Dao super-projects; the dynasty's infrastructure capabilities were terrifyingly strong, and the average cultivator's quality was terrifyingly high, which is why it could be completed in such a short time.

If built from nothing, it would likely require another thirty million million years of research and breakthroughs across all industries to overcome technical bottlenecks.

This is a super-gigantic immortal Dao instrument targeting the River of Time, its tendrils spreading throughout the boundless starry sky, permeating the Heavenly Dao and Time itself!

"Your Majesty, for revenge, you truly spare no expense————"

The Empress of Fusang said, speechless.

"Hahaha!"

"This is not merely a pursuit of the forbidden zone's ancient emperor; it is also research into the River of Time, calculating and deducing the future Golden Great Age—an instrument of immense use for the future."

Jiang Ding gave a faint smile.

Such super-projects of past immortal dynasties were never meant to be used once and discarded; they can later be applied to military, industrial,

agricultural, and other fields.

Not to mention, the research progress on temporal spirit rice will certainly accelerate significantly.

Furthermore, the immortal gate ancient emperor-level warship, based on the qilin ancient emperor's immortal body, has already entered the design phase; this River of Time super-formation will undoubtedly accelerate the design and development progress of the immortal gate ancient emperor-level warship.

"Soft persimmon,"

"Today I am very happy, I again feel that the mortal realm has become interesting."

Jiang Ding walked to the crystal divine throne, sat down with his sword in hand, and began to hook and activate the River of Time super-formation with his divine sense, smiling as he said: "Long unseen, I truly miss the Senior Sun Ancient Emperor————"

In his words, threads of killing intent began to emerge.

Hum!

In the boundless starry sky, one stellar orbit after another linked heaven and earth.

The unique dusk light tracks of the Dao of Annihilation of Laws appeared in the dark starry sky, shooting from one world to another, beginning to blossom toward all directions, spreading exponentially, gradually forming a super-formation enveloping countless worlds, as the dusky yellow light of the Dao of Annihilation of Laws followed suit and enveloped.

This is the Dao of Annihilation of Laws, but now it is not being used to explore its various aspects.

Rather, it is being used as a foundation and blade, based on the Dao of Annihilation of Laws, to explore the River of Time, and the Dao of Annihilation of Laws manifests the form of the Dao of Time!

This is the existence of a supreme grand master level of this path, having reached the extreme on the Dao of Annihilation of Laws, beginning to draw parallels and influence time through the Dao of Annihilation of Laws.

Innumerable rules of the Dao of Annihilation of Laws intertwine in the boundless starry sky, affecting space, and thus affecting time!

With the passage of time, in the hazy obscurity, an endless River of Time manifested from the dark void—this is not the concrete form of time, for time is formless and substanceless, but according to the experience of past immortal Dao civilizations, this is the most suitable perspective for studying the River of Time.

The present forbidden zone ancient emperor, the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, sat cross-legged within the super-formation, his body surrounded by the endless River of Time.

Under the support of the super-formation, the forbidden zone ancient emperor momentarily detached from the River of Time, observing it from a transcendent perspective beyond himself, gazing upon the myriad beings struggling within the River of Time.

From the weakest mortals to the handful of emperor-realm cultivators standing at the pinnacle of the immortal Dao, down to grasses, trees, flowers, birds, insects, and fish—all living beings struggle in the River of Time, their bodies and souls corroded by it; a single wave sweeps over, and untold numbers of living beings sink and vanish without trace.

Mortals drift helplessly in the River of Time, born and dying at random.

Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators, however, possess a small flat boat, able to survive minor waves, yet still submerged when great waves strike.

Only supreme and emperor-realm cultivators can say they have built great ships, now sailing in the River of Time.

But no matter who, one day all will sink in the River of Time; only ancient emperors can maintain relative transcendence, and as long as they do not encounter a surge in the River of Time, they can often survive, even existing long-term in calm sections of the River of Time through self-sealing.

Innumerable mysteries of time arose in the heart of the forbidden zone ancient emperor, his understanding of the River of Time surging violently.

"My Sword of Severing Time————"

Jiang Ding seemed to have an insight.

He had a premonition that when he struck with his sword, it would certainly be faster and sharper, for time would no longer hinder the sword but aid it; the Tai Qing Flying Sword would certainly be able to cut deeper into time with less force, using the sword to wear down enemies in past or future time.

"However, the main task now is to organize the data on the River of Time's changes over these thirty million years————"

Jiang Ding suppressed his many associations.

He used the Great Sun Immortal-Mortal Sword Soul Processor, linked to the Great Dream Sword Realm, taking the experiential formula of the Nine-Character《Annihilation of Laws Sun Immortal Scripture》as core, began calculating the massive time data accumulated over these thirty million years.

Bit by bit, bit by bit.

After tens of thousands of years of effort, these River of Time data gradually became orderly, and the layers of mist obscuring fate's deduction began to dissipate.

"Exactly so."

"Thirty million years ago, the Sun Ancient Emperor, the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor————"

Jiang Ding murmured.

His gaze followed the River of Time, reversing upstream to look back upon past events.

In the history of the boundless starry sky, many things occurred: the immortal dynasty's various super-projects, experiments of the Nine-Character Immortal Scripture, the first batch of immortal dynasty emperor-realm cultivators' eternal rest, the departure of mother and sister, the breakthrough of the Financial Fortune Dao————countless events, all leaving traces on the River of Time, profoundly influential.

Time continuously reversed.

Until————that day!

The Sun Ancient Emperor revived, solar radiance warm yet tyrannical, light and destruction, with a raise of his hand he tore open the boundless starry sky, one hand pointing to the earth, the other dragging forth a terrifying sun radiating boundless annihilation aura, pressing down; a youth in green robes, under this terrifying attack, instantly turned to charcoal, fleeing in terror.

This day!

Exactly this day!

"Exactly this day."

Jiang Ding calmly gazed upon this past history.

His eyes fell upon the scene after this strike ended, when the Sun Ancient Emperor returned to the Sun Forbidden Zone, vanishing together with it into the River of Time.

He examined this scene with particular care.

The Sun Forbidden Zone appeared, then disappeared—this was the view at the time.

But now, this scene reappears; to the present forbidden zone ancient emperor, the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, everything leaves traces, everything has clues—the Sun Forbidden Zone sank into the River of Time, pushing aside the waters along its way, wandering within the River of Time, undergoing hundreds of thousands of course adjustments to evade, finally settling in a relatively calm stretch of the River of Time, where it came to rest.

Thereafter, every tens of thousands of years, this Sun Forbidden Zone shifts position.

The final image is of two million nine hundred seventy thousand years ago, hazy and indistinct, waves of the River of Time rolling up, the Sun Forbidden Zone utterly vanished without trace.

Pa—da!

The River of Time's Super Immortal Array cracked, and Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's pupils faintly showed fissures as golden immortal blood welled up, blurring everything before his eyes.

His immortal body split open, and in an instant he suffered grave injury!

This is the consequence of peering into the River of Time!

No matter how powerful, thirty million years have passed—too distant, beyond reason, and there's nothing to be done; after all, he is a peer of equal standing.

"But!"

"Sun Ancient Emperor! You and I have karmic ties! Between us there is karma!"

Jiang Ding's eyes shattered, golden immortal blood blurring his handsome features, yet revealing a savage grin, excitement and fervor reaching their peak.

In soundless silence, a golden destructive sunbeam appeared in his hand, within which the aura of the Sun Ancient Emperor was so dense it seemed about to materialize, forming the Sun Ancient Emperor's silhouette!
