Chapter 1044: The Supreme River Spanning the Heavens and Myriad Worlds!

Previously mentioned, to summon the past and future selves, one must first find the traces they left in the River of Time.

Only by locating the corresponding traces can they be reflected.

If no trace exists within the River of Time, reflection is impossible.

Under normal circumstances, any living being appearing in the Primordial World must leave a trace in the River of Time.

The power of the River of Time may not surpass that of the Heavenly Dao, but its priority stands above it.

What appears in the Primordial World is merely a branch of the River of Time.

The true River of Time is the supreme river spanning the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, far beyond the reach of any mere Heavenly Dao.

Thus, even the Heavenly Dao can only borrow the power of the River of Time, not directly control it.

That is to say, even Ancestor Hongjun must leave a trace within the River of Time.

Not to mention Ancestor Hongjun—even Pangu left fragments of his trace imprinted in the River of Time.

If one's strength is great enough, through the River of Time, Pangu himself can be reflected.

What was just described applies to normal circumstances—Luo Fu does not fall under normal circumstances.

He is unlike any living being in the Primordial World; he walks a unique path.

This path, even across the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, qualifies as supreme.

This path enabled Luo Fu, upon breaking through to Great Luo Jinxian, to condense his true spirit imprint, uniting past and future into one, completely transcending the River of Time.

Of course, Luo Fu has only transcended the River of Time of the Primordial World.

He has not transcended the River of Time of the entire Chaos World, let alone the true body of the River of Time that envelops the Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

Under normal circumstances, only those with extraordinary talent among the Hunyuan Great Luo Jinxian have a chance to extract their imprint from their respective River of Time upon attaining Hunyuan Great Luo Jinxian.

Once this opportunity is missed, it becomes exceedingly difficult to reclaim one's imprint left within the River of Time.

Transcendence is an arduous feat, not something anyone can achieve.

Even transcending a branch of the River of Time is extremely difficult.

Talent, comprehension, strength, and fortune—all are indispensable.

In the entire Primordial World, no one besides Luo Fu has accomplished this.

Although Ancestor Hongjun is powerful, he seeks dominion over the entire Primordial World and would never choose the path of transcendence.

As for the Great God Pangu, he was not a being born of the world, but a Chaos Divine Demon born from the Chaos Void.

If he wished to transcend, he could only transcend the branch of the River of Time of the entire Chaos World.

Clearly, given the might of the Chaos World, unless one possesses Great Dao-level strength, one cannot withstand the River of Time's backlash.

The Twelve Yuan Chen's divine art is a killing technique against any living being in the Primordial World—but against Luo Fu, it has not the slightest effect.

Of course, this does not mean the Dao of Time has no effect on Luo Fu.

If the Twelve Yuan Chen's realm were strong enough to directly commune with a higher-level River of Time, they could locate Luo Fu's lingering traces and reflect his past and future selves.

Clearly, the Twelve Yuan Chen at mid-True Saint realm cannot possibly achieve this.

Even if they could, they could not withstand the backlash.

The Twelve Yuan Chen can summon the past and future selves of the Twelve Ancestral Wushen because the Twelve Yuan Chen's small realm bears ninety-nine percent of the backlash—they need only endure one percent.
