Chapter 5: Luo Hou: If you can speak, say more!

The four directions are called Yu, and the past and present are called Zhou.

Silver-white light is the background color of the years. In the boundless River of Time, a glance only reveals a sense of vastness.

Plop~

A swimming fish broke the boundary between reality and illusion and jumped into the River of Time.

"I haven't been to the River of Time for a long time; I actually missed it." The fish blew bubbles happily. He looked at the eternal scenery around him, the more he looked, the more intimate he felt.

"The only pity is that I can't stay here long, otherwise there will be big problems." This time, the node Chenxing chose was the mainstream of the River of Time, which is the Mother River of Space-Time.

Unlike the various tributaries that can be traveled freely, the pressure endured here is terrifying even for innate gods; one risks sinking into it if not careful.

Chenxing came here first to avoid disaster, and second to perfect his own Great Dao, not really wanting to become a sinking fish in the river.

While resisting the erosion of time, he carefully bypassed whirlpools to avoid being contaminated by too much karma.

While comprehending the Great Dao, Chenxing saw many "peers" along the way.

The spiritual light in the eyes of those fish had already dimmed; they did not possess divine wisdom like him. They lost their way in the river and just drifted aimlessly.

"I hope you have a day of transcendence in the future." Chenxing blew bubbles, feeling no great sadness in his heart; he had seen too much.

The Great Dao is not easy; some fall, some reach the top.

The eternal heavens are all like this.

Bidding farewell to these lost fellow Daoists, Chenxing continued to swim forward.

"Eh, there's movement!"

Chenxing, immersed in comprehending the Dao, was suddenly awakened by a sound. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pitch-black shadow reflected in the water ahead.

"This is... a boat?" How could there be a boat in the Mother River of Space-Time?

Chenxing was bewildered. He saw a boat oar reach into the water, stirring up whirlpools.

There is a "person" on the boat!

【Transcending the Mother River of Space-Time, where did this pervert come from?】 Shocked, Chenxing cursed inwardly. Just as he wanted to leave, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from the water surface.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for picking me up."

"Fellow Daoist returned much faster than I imagined."

"No choice, any slower and Pangu would have had to get serious."

"Oh? So, Fellow Daoist saw everything you wanted to see?"

"I saw it all."

"Very good."

Next was a long silence; the boat oar stirred the water surface gently, and ripples spread slowly.

No way, to run into each other in such a large River of Time... When hearing Luo Hou's voice, Shui Yao Chenxing went numb. He tried his best to hide himself, not letting the other party discover him.

At the same time, a question arose in his heart: two voices, one is Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, who is the other?

"Doesn't Fellow Daoist intend to ask something?" Luo Hou's voice sounded again.

"Can I ask anything?"

"Yes."

A man in white sat at the stern of the small boat. He had a face like jade, a graceful demeanor, and a spring-breeze-like smile on his face: "Then I'm going to ask."

Luo Hou nodded gently.

"What are the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods?"

"..."

"When Pangu created the world, did he hold the axe handle with one hand or two?"

"..."

"How many times did Pangu hack in total when opening the Primordial World?"

"..."

"Does it hurt when hacked by the Pangu Axe?"

"..."

"And also, when opening the world, was there more clear qi or turbid qi?"

"..."

The man in white asked many questions in one breath.

Luo Hou was silent for a long time.

Finally, he turned around and looked at the figure at the stern with deep eyes, "Shall I send Fellow Daoist to the beginning of creation to see for yourself?"

"Forget it."

The man in white shook his head repeatedly: "I'm just a ferryman; how could I withstand Pangu's Creation Axe?"

Luo Hou raised his eyebrows and asked meaningfully: "A ferryman on the River of Time?"

"The River of Time is also a river." The man in white rowed the boat oar gently, "If you can't answer, forget it." Luo Hou's mouth twitched; he regretted getting on this boat a bit. After a long while, Luo Hou suddenly said: "I met two fellow Daoists at the source of the River of Time."

"That must be lively." The ferryman looked down at the silver-white water surface.

Luo Hou looked at him, "You don't seem surprised?"

"The Primordial World's sky is high enough, and the forest is big enough; there are all kinds of birds, what's there to be surprised about." The ferryman had just finished speaking when he felt a strong sense of crisis, and he hurriedly said: "That, I didn't mean you, I meant... er, you'd better continue talking about those two fellow Daoists."

Luo Hou glanced at him: "Hongjun, Yang Mei. It's best you don't provoke them now."

"Why would I provoke them? I'm just a ferryman." The ferryman shook his head; it really was them.

"Is that so?" Luo Hou was noncommittal.

The ferryman looked at Luo Hou and asked: "There is one thing I really want to ask."

So you were intentional just now? Luo Hou said lightly: "Ask."

"If one wants to attain the Great Luo Realm, must one go to the beginning of creation, or before creation?" The ferryman looked solemn, his eyes fixed on Luo Hou.

Luo Hou shook his head: "Just icing on the cake."

"I went because I had some karma that needed to be resolved, otherwise, do you think I'd be willing to take that axe?"

"Were you really hacked by Pangu?" The ferryman blinked, looking Luo Hou up and down curiously, and smiled: "So it hurts!"

Luo Hou glared at him and said angrily: "If you can speak, say more!"

The ferryman closed his mouth decisively.

At the end, a hand was raised into the air, waving in front of Luo Hou, "That..."

"Ask if you have something to ask."

Luo Hou's tone paused, adding: "Ask something I can answer."

"I wanted to ask, is their situation the same?" The ferryman was honest this time.

"The same."

Luo Hou gave an affirmative answer, "No one is willing to move forward carrying some things."

"I see." The ferryman nodded, meaning that Luo Hou, Hongjun, and Yang Mei are indeed Chaos origins?

Then does the karma they mentioned mean cutting off from the past, or going back to retrieve some of their own things?

The ferryman lowered his head in thought.

"Do you have anything else to ask? If not, I'm leaving."

Luo Hou waited on the spot for a while.

"Not for now."

After hearing this, Luo Hou's figure disappeared directly.

"Oh right, there's one thing I forgot to say just now." Luo Hou returned, looking at the ferryman: "If any Chaos Destruction Mo Shen tries to enter the Primordial World through the River of Time, remember to stop them."

"Ah?" The ferryman was stunned.

Wait, what did you just say?

"I stop the Chaos Destruction Mo Shen?"

Luo Hou looked at the stunned ferryman, a smile curling on his lips: "Don't worry, their state isn't much better, they can't beat you here. And they might not come."

They?

Damn, there's more than one Chaos Destruction Mo Shen, right?

The ferryman stood up with a start.

At this time, Luo Hou had already disappeared.

Looking at the position where Luo Hou disappeared, the ferryman lost his composure for the first time in millions of years: "Luo Hou! You bastard, come back and explain clearly!"

"What on earth did you three guys go to the source of the River of Time for?!!"

The still-angry ferryman took a deep breath, and he picked up the boat oar beside him.

"Fellow Daoist, you've heard enough, right." The ferryman looked at the bottom of the water while rolling up his sleeves.

"They've left, do you want to come up and chat with me?"

Bang!!!

The boat oar fell, and a huge splash was stirred up in the River of Time.

Plop~

A small, unconscious fish landed on the ferry boat.

"Hehe, now I have a treat."
