Chapter 378: Ancient Babylonian Mythology Heritage Opens Hangu Pass?

From the upper reaches to the lower reaches of a tributary, across countless epochs, only a very few were qualified to attain the Dao and transcend the river of time, yet the failures made up the vast majority.

In the end, those who succeeded could be counted on one hand.

How difficult it is to transcend the river of time…

Sweeping his gaze upstream along the river of time, looking down upon the 'fish' in the river struggling to transcend, that Ancient Babylonian Mythology heritage said nothing, showing no sign of emotional fluctuation.

Then he turned and walked downstream along the river of time.

One step, one epoch.

He arrived at a colossal ancient pass built upon the river of time.

"Hangu Pass!!"

The people recognized this ancient pass—wasn't it the Hangu Pass that blocked the past and the future?

Was this Ancient Babylonian Mythology heritage heading for Hangu Pass?

In the minds of the people, the Ancient Babylonian Mythology heritage entered Hangu Pass.

Seeing this, many hurriedly widened their eyes, not wanting to miss a single scene.

On that day when the river of time manifested, the seven beings who would transcend time in the future stormed into Hangu Pass, but in the end, they crossed Hangu Pass, and the world never saw what it looked like inside.

There was no choice—the distance was too far.

Hangu Pass was vast, built upon worlds as its cornerstone, enormous and boundless; it couldn't possibly be empty inside.

Now that the Ancient Babylonian Mythology realm had manifested the river of time and Hangu Pass, the distance was no longer remote. With such an opportunity, how could the people possibly miss it? They wanted to see clearly what Hangu Pass looked like inside.

Was it gilded and resplendent?

Or a solemn, austere hall-like appearance?

Or perhaps inside there was another world entirely, a place specifically for the gods and demons garrisoned at Hangu Pass to rest and recuperate, so they could be in peak condition to guard the pass?

Many thoughts arose, and the more they thought, the more impatient they became.

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Reality was like a tormenting little sprite—when countless people craned their necks in anticipation, eyes already opened to their widest, cameras all set up, phones all turned on, the result was…

The result was that the scene changed.

In an instant, it returned to the Ancient Babylonian Mythology realm of the Primeval Era.

No one knew what the Ancient Babylonian Mythology heritage had entered Hangu Pass to do.

"Damn!"

The gods and demons couldn't help cursing. They had originally wanted to see if there was anything in Hangu Pass, because the moment they saw the river of time, they felt a faint hint of enlightenment, feeling their own bottleneck loosen.

Hangu Pass, as the Imperial Pass garrisoning the past and future of the river of time, might well hold some unfathomable mystery. One glance and one could attain the Dao, breaking through shackles on the spot.

"Why did the Ancient Babylonian Mythology heritage go to Hangu Pass? Is it to garrison the pass?"

Online, someone curiously typed out the question.

This wasn't blind guessing—in fact, ever since Hangu Pass first appeared, the world had been speculating about it.

Why wasn't Qin Shi Huang garrisoning Hangu Pass? Where had he gone?

Speculations of all kinds abounded.

Among these many speculations, there was one: the garrisoner of Hangu Pass wasn't permanently stationed there, but was replaced at intervals.

The great war between past and future involved the entire past, spanning all the heavenly myths. Every major mythology had the responsibility to fight against the past and garrison Hangu Pass.

It couldn't be that only the Huaguo mythology garrisoned it; other mythologies also had to contribute.

The major mythologies took turns garrisoning Hangu Pass, with a being who had transcended time swapping in every so often, handing over to one another.

This would also explain why Qin Shi Huang wasn't at Hangu Pass.

And the First Holy Spirit might have been the one garrisoning the pass when the seven future transcendence beings arrived.

Of course, this was only speculation.

Because many felt that the First Holy Spirit was noble and sacred; judging by his origins, he belonged to no single mythology. He acted as he pleased—saying he'd destroy the Primordial Realm, he destroyed it. He was fundamentally a maverick.

A being like that was unlikely to garrison Hangu Pass.

So more people held another view: that the First Holy Spirit encountering the seven future transcendence beings upon their entry into Hangu Pass was merely a coincidence.

Coincidentally, the First Holy Spirit had business at Hangu Pass, and the seven transcendence beings just happened to block his path.

Coincidentally, the First Holy Spirit had been invited to help garrison Hangu Pass, and just happened to run into the seven transcendence beings blocking his path.

Coincidence…

Among the many possibilities, there was one that had the most supporters, and was also the most terrifying—the one people didn't dare think about.

The First Holy Spirit might just be Him.

And He had long foreseen all of this, made preparations, set up the interception.

Even more!

The First Holy Spirit might not be Him at all!

It was that He, for some reason, had the First Holy Spirit make a move and cut down the seven future transcendence beings.

Everything was within His scheme; the chess game was still being played out, and all living beings were His pieces.

"I think the Ancient Babylonian Mythology heritage should be going to garrison Hangu Pass."

Online, in response to the netizens' questions, one netizen replied.

The next moment.

Another netizen suddenly remembered something, gasped sharply, and rapidly typed:

"Hey, hey, this wouldn't happen to be the mistake the Ancient Babylonian Mythology made, would it? The Ancient Babylonian Mythology heritage garrisoned Hangu Pass—could it be that he let the future 'side' through the pass, colluded with the future, and caused a catastrophic blunder?"

Silence, a deathly stillness.

Not just online—people all over the world successively had this thought.

The moment the speculation was voiced, the world fell deathly silent.

Director Takahashi and the others stared with bulging eyes at Section Chief Saito, their hearts pounding wildly.

My god!

This isn't impossible!

The Moon God and Lucifer said the ancient Babylonian mythology was besieged not because of the initial realm's power struggle, but for another reason—likely committing an unforgivable transgression that provoked all major mythologies to unite against it.

Even the other four major mythologies joined the war.

The transgression of ancient Babylonian mythology was an offense that enraged heaven and horrified humanity.

If the ancient Babylonian mythology's foundational power were stationed at Hangu Pass and opened the gate to let enemies into the past, it would be an unforgivable crime of cosmic proportions.

Looking across China's history, and indeed the histories of all nations.

Opening the gate to let enemies in, betraying one's side, colluding with the foe—such treacherous acts are always the most intolerable, the most unforgivable, demanding only death to vent rage and blood to atone for the sin.

"That figure!!"

Director Takahashi suddenly spoke, his expression shifting.

Across the globe, countless people, like Director Takahashi, thought of that figure.

It was the mysterious figure that appeared beyond the ancient Babylonian mythology's realm in the primordial age.

That figure entered the ancient Babylonian mythology's realm, and soon after, its foundational power moved to Hangu Pass.

There cannot be so many coincidences.

People believed it was certainly no coincidence.

Someone swallowed hard, voice trembling: "Could that figure be Him?"

He orchestrated everything.

He played a grand game with past and future.

The ancient Babylonian mythology's connection to Him, combined with Hangu Pass letting enemies in, together explains why all mythologies annihilated ancient Babylonian mythology—and even went so far as to sever and eternally imprison the very realm it governed.

Because it involved Him, and also involved a traitor.

The combination of these two factors made it utterly unforgivable.
