Chapter 467

In the Land of Primordial Beginning, the God King's power boiled within Chen Fan. He did not retreat but advanced, fiercely meeting the Nether Emperor's palm that was enough to destroy heaven and earth.

Boom—!

A loud noise that shattered chaos exploded, and violent energy shockwaves swept across the cosmic void.

Chen Fan flew horizontally like a kite with a broken string.

The Nether Emperor, who possessed over a hundred types of Dao Rules, had a strength far superior to his.

The Nether Emperor looked at Chen Fan, who had stabilized his figure, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"You didn't die from one palm? Are you... also in the God King realm?"

Chen Fan raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the Primordial Thunder Spear condensed from the void, falling into his palm with a boom.

Throughout his journey, when had he ever been afraid? Facing the Nether Emperor today, he still had to fight, to struggle, to go against heaven!

With the Primordial Thunder Spear in hand, Chen Fan's aura suddenly surged several times over, like a battle demon awakening from chaos!

He stood proudly with the spear. The Space Dao Rule, Thunder Dao Rule, Fire Dao Rule, Water Dao Rule, and Gold Dao Rule—five supreme Dao Rules layered and surged, like five-colored divine rainbows entwining the spear body, its sharpness piercing straight into the firmament!

The Nether Emperor's Dao Rules were as vast as a sea of stars, fierce and domineering, suppressing everything.

Yet Chen Fan, relying solely on one Primordial Thunder Spear, erupted with an unparalleled sharpness that opened heaven and earth, forcibly blocking that momentum that crushed everything!

"Kid, if I had the Heaven-Reaching Tower in hand, you would have been reduced to bones long ago!"

The Nether Emperor finally realized how difficult Chen Fan was, his expression sinking completely and covered in a layer of solemnity.

He no longer held back, using all his strength to kill Chen Fan!

The two God Kings collided frantically in the Land of Primordial Beginning; every strike caused the void to collapse and the Great Daos to moan.

The entire Land of Primordial Beginning was tottering under this peerless battle, on the verge of destruction.

It was at this moment that their earth-shattering clash finally angered the Heart of Origin floating in the sky!

That Heart of Origin, the source of the universe, trembled violently, and billions of Dao Rules turned into ink-black Great Dao Chains, like a heavenly river flowing backward, instantly binding Chen Fan and the Nether Emperor tightly!

The Great Dao Chains were cold and ruthless, piercing through their souls and imprisoning their Dao foundations; no matter how they erupted with God King power, they could not break free in the slightest.

"Damn it!" The Nether Emperor's face was ferocious; even he had not expected this sudden change.

"It seems only by achieving the supreme Dao foundation can one break these chains." Chen Fan calmed down faster.

He forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his body, closed his eyes, and focused, his heart like still water.

"Kid, I am only one step away from the supreme Dao foundation; you can never be faster than me!" The Nether Emperor roared frantically at Chen Fan.

He had planned for a million years, laying out his schemes through the ages; how could he accept failure!

He had always firmly believed that as long as he controlled enough Dao Rules, he could forge the supreme Dao foundation.

At this moment, he even felt that he only needed one last Dao Rule to succeed!

Chen Fan closed his eyes and said nothing, not commenting on the Nether Emperor's path.

He had his own Dao.

The myriad things in the universe were never a crude pile of messy Dao Rules.

The material world was built on the foundation of the Five Elements; the operation of the universe was merely the addition of the laws of time and space.

Therefore, to inherit the origin of the universe and forge the supreme Dao foundation, one must use the Five Elements as the root, fuse space and time into one, and form a world of one's own to be perfect and flawless.

The moment his thoughts became clear, the power around Chen Fan suddenly became clear:

Fire, Water, Gold, and Space were already mastered perfectly.

Only the Earth and Wood elements, as well as the most ethereal and difficult-to-comprehend Time Dao Rule, were still missing.

He did not hesitate, sinking his mind into his body, using the Chaos Golden Book as the hub to draw in the Qi of the universe's origin.

The thick Qi of the earth surged, and the vitality of wood bloomed vigorously, like withered wood meeting spring, sweeping through his whole body.

The Land of Primordial Beginning had no years, no sun or moon, no seasons.

Chen Fan had long since lost the concept of time.

Finally, the Earth and Wood Dao Rules were both perfected!

With the Five Elements gathered, the Dao rhyme around him flowed, endlessly circulating like a small world.

Without the need for the Primordial Thunder Spear's support, he already had the absolute confidence to face the Nether Emperor head-on.

He glanced at the Nether Emperor not far away, who was still frantically comprehending, and dared not relax in the slightest, immersing himself in the Time Dao Rule again.

But the Land of Primordial Beginning had no beginning or end, no life or death; he simply couldn't touch the traces of time.

He had no time ability, so how could he master the Time Dao Rule? This was a dead end from the start.

The Five Elements could be obtained through the Thunder Transformation of all laws, but time... he had nothing.

Although the Sun-Stationed Universe Pupil barely touched upon it, it was far from enough to evolve the Time Dao Rule.

It was at this desperate moment—

【Host, please note, a system task has been issued; completion allows participation in a lottery!】

The long-lost system prompt sounded abruptly in his mind.

Chen Fan was suddenly stunned.

At this life-and-death juncture, why did the system appear so abruptly?

But the moment he saw the content of the task, he froze completely.

【Task Content: Miss Wang Yanran one hundred times, task level SSS.】

Chen Fan was first stunned, then felt somewhat inexplicable.

Missing someone also counts as a task? And an SSS-level one at that?

"Why is it Sister Yanran... Guifuzi once said there is a certain connection between Sister Yanran, the Ghost Race, and me... could it be for this?"

Doubts grew in his heart, but he still acted accordingly.

One thought, ten thoughts, a hundred thoughts...

Every time he missed her, the scenes of being with Wang Yanran flashed before his eyes—gentleness, smiles, companionship, separation, concern...

The moment the hundredth thought fell.

Far away in the abyss of another dimension, Wang Yanran's body suddenly trembled.

Memories sealed for a hundred lifetimes awakened wildly like a bursting tide.

Circles of time ability swirled around her, piercing through the past and present, independent of time and space.

She remembered Chen Fan.

She gently opened her eyes, and a gentle smile unconsciously curled at the corners of her lips.

The next instant, that time ability capable of reversing heaven and earth dissipated completely at this moment.

Almost at the same instant—

【Ding! System task completed! Do you wish to draw the lottery immediately?】

"Yes!"

As soon as Chen Fan's words fell, the system lottery roulette appeared again.

Only this time, there was only one item on the roulette—

Inscribed with four characters: Time Ability.

No matter how the pointer turned, it only pointed to this one answer in the end.

【Congratulations to the host, you have obtained—Time Ability! Do you wish to accept the inheritance?】

Chen Fan looked at the panel, feeling only absurdity.

If it hadn't been arranged long ago, he would never have believed it.

He suppressed his surging emotions and chose to accept the inheritance.

A vast, boundless power of time that pierced through the past, present, and future poured into the depths of his soul.

In just a moment, the Time Ability belonged entirely to him!

The moment the inheritance was completed, the system's voice sounded again.

This time, it was no longer a cold mechanical sound, but a female voice so gentle it was carved into his bones.

"Respected host, all system tasks have been completed; the system will now go offline."

Chen Fan was struck by lightning, frozen in place.

This voice...

It was Wang Yanran!

"Sister Yanran... is that you?"

He looked at the spot where the system had disappeared, his heart tightening suddenly, and an unspeakable sorrow surged up.

The Time Ability operated on its own, and he instantly transcended time.

Countless sealed scenes flooded into his mind wildly.

"Chen Fan, listen to the lecture properly!"

"Chen Fan, who told you to sign up for the Martial Arts department!"

"Chen Fan, leave Tongtong to me; you can go to the National Martial Arts University with peace of mind."

"Chen Fan, when are you coming home..."

"Chen Fan, I won't let you die—!"

Scene after scene, it was all Wang Yanran.

Until he saw the most painful scene—

It was still the Land of Primordial Beginning.

He fought the Nether Emperor to the death, ultimately suffering a crushing defeat, his body and Dao destroyed.

Wang Yanran held his cold body, crying heart-rendingly, her heart and intestines broken.

"Chen Fan, I won't let you die... I will take you back to the starting point of your life; we will start over for a lifetime. If one lifetime doesn't work, we'll do it again, until you succeed!"

Boom—!

The power of time was fully unleashed, and time flowed backward frantically.

"Chen Fan, listen to the lecture properly!"

A piece of chalk hit his head accurately, and Wang Yanran stood on the podium, looking at him with feigned severity.

That was the beginning of everything.

Seeing this, Chen Fan was already weeping, his whole body trembling.

So the so-called system was never some otherworldly encounter.

It was Wang Yanran, who forged it for him with her own hands.

All tasks, all rewards, all opportunities were paved for him in advance by her at the cost of the tragic suffering of the previous life.

Just to let him take fewer detours and reach the top.

And this was already not the first time.

He had already experienced a hundred cycles.

He had already failed a full one hundred times.

One hundred times of time reversal, one hundred times of watching him die in battle, one hundred times of exhausting her origin to pave the way for him...

Wang Yanran accompanied him, struggling in the desperate fate for a hundred lifetimes.

In this lifetime, he was finally stronger than ever before, finally having the qualifications to contend with the Nether Emperor.

But this was also Wang Yanran's limit.

One hundred reversals of time and space had already exhausted all her origin.

For him, she dissolved her Dao and died, her soul flying and spirit scattering.

"Sister Yanran..."

Chen Fan's tears fell like rain, his heart twisted like a knife.

That woman, who reincarnated a hundred lifetimes for him, who burned everything for him—he owed her too much, too much to ever repay.

"I will rule the Heart of Origin... I will resurrect you! I must!"

A low roar shook heaven and earth.

Wang Yanran used the system as a guide to pass all the Time Dao Rules to him.

The power of time around Chen Fan erupted, and the Time Dao Rule was perfected in one go!

"Supreme Dao foundation, complete—!"

Chen Fan gave a low shout, shattering the void.

The Five Elements rotated, time and space fused, and his cultivation was completely perfected.

The supreme Dao foundation was formed with a boom!

The Great Dao Chains that bound him shattered inch by inch, turning into light rain that filled the sky and vanished without a trace.

Not far away, the Nether Emperor was full of terror.

Chen Fan's eyes were as cold as an ancient abyss, and he slapped out a palm lightly.

That palm froze time and space, crushing the ages.

"No—!!"

The Nether Emperor shrieked miserably, despairing to the extreme.

His body, his Dao Rules, and his million-year schemes were all turned to ashes under this palm, not even leaving a wisp of a remnant soul.

Chen Fan raised his hand and gently touched the Heart of Origin floating in the center of the universe.

The next moment, infinite origin Dao Rules poured into his body.

The Heart of Origin fused completely with him.

His figure grew infinitely, spanning the galaxy and covering the entire universe.

The myriad races of the universe and billions of living beings all looked up together.

That towering figure made them involuntarily prostrate themselves on the ground, kowtowing in worship.

And Chen Fan's gaze pierced through layers of time and space, landing on a wisp of a remnant soul so weak it was about to dissipate completely.

Wang Yanran's remnant soul.

He carefully held that wisp of remnant soul in his palm, as if holding the most precious treasure in the entire universe.
