“This is control over space-time?” Luo Feng felt the invisible force binding him—it wasn’t time, nor space, but a more supreme force.
Daohe ascended slowly.
At this moment—
It was as if the rising sun, so dazzling and eye-catching, drawing the gaze of hundreds of millions of inheritors.
Likewise, the Thunder God Beast gazed downward, its Thunderous Eyes fixed upon Daohe, Luo Feng, with a faint sense of kindness and friendliness. The force that had completely bound Luo Feng moments ago now vanished into thin air, leaving him momentarily bewildered. At this moment, the Thunder God Beast slowly opened its mouth and spoke again with a thunderous voice.
“Daohe,” the Thunder God Beast called out.
Luo Feng stood midair and respectfully bowed, “Beast God!”
“Your strength, your progress, and your will all meet my satisfaction,” the Thunder God Beast gazed downward, its attention fully on Luo Feng. “I have a treasure I wish to bestow upon you.”
Whoosh—
Below, hundreds of millions of inheritors immediately erupted in astonishment, nearly all of them displaying expressions of shock and envy.
“It’s actually a public gift of a treasure!”
“The Beast God personally descended to grant a treasure!”
“With such a grand display, it must be a supreme treasure. Otherwise, how could it match the lofty status of the Beast God? Daohe is truly fortunate to receive another supreme treasure!” The inheritors couldn’t help but whisper excitedly among themselves, each one thrilled. The Thunder God Beast made no effort to stop them.
It was clearly delighted to witness the envy and jealousy of the other inheritors.
“What’s the big deal? If you could kill the Howling Mirror King while still an Immortal, the Ancestor God Church would probably favor you too and grant you treasures.”
“Daohe is on the same level as the Insect-Chasing King. The Insect-Chasing King was also publicly granted a treasure in his time.”
“Work hard, keep cultivating, perhaps one day I too will be publicly granted a treasure by the Ancestor God Church.”
…
Luo Feng couldn’t hear the discussions below, nor did he care to. Right now, he was completely filled with joy and anticipation.
“Thank you, Beast God!” Luo Feng respectfully bowed.
“You must continue to strive and never slacken,” the Thunder God Beast’s voice rumbled. Suddenly, a massive ball of lightning appeared before him, several ten thousand kilometers in diameter. It began to fall downward, directly toward Luo Feng, like a falling meteor.
As it descended, the lightning gradually dissipated.
By the time it reached above Luo Feng, the lightning had completely vanished, leaving behind a massive ancient mirror, several hundred kilometers in diameter. The mirror was round, its body golden in material, while its surface faintly shimmered with golden light. Slowly descending, the ancient mirror finally hovered before Luo Feng.
Luo Feng stared blankly at the enormous mirror before him.
“A mirror?” Luo Feng blinked.
“Believe me, it will serve you greatly. Take it,” the Thunder God Beast gazed downward; one of its eyes was even larger than the hundreds-of-kilometers-wide mirror.
“Yes.”
Luo Feng respectfully responded, then with a thought, directly absorbed the ancient golden mirror into his world ring. As for studying the treasure, Luo Feng planned to wait until the Beast God had left before doing so. After all, the Eight Beasts held an extremely high status within the Ancestor God Church.
“Daohe, don’t disappoint me,” the Thunder God Beast spoke with a hint of amusement, giving him a final instruction.
Then, with a thunderous boom!
The sky and earth trembled with thunder, and the colossal figure of the Thunder God Beast vanished into thin air. The previously oppressive invisible pressure also disappeared, and Thunder Island returned to normal. The inheritors who had been suppressed to the ground were now suddenly released, erupting into excited conversations, creating a cacophony of sound.
“Congratulations, Daohe King.”
“Congratulations, Daohe King, on receiving yet another supreme treasure.” Many alien inheritors even approached to greet him directly.
Luo Feng merely smiled and swiftly departed, returning to his estate.
Although other strong cultivators tried to strike up conversations with him, Luo Feng completely ignored them, leaving many inheritors bewildered.
“What kind of supreme treasure is that mirror?”
“I’ve seen mirror-type supreme treasures before; they’re usually used to assist in illusionary attacks.”
“Daohe King excels in mental-force weapon attacks. Why would the Ancestor God Church give him a treasure for illusionary attacks?”
“Don’t just guess randomly. It may look like a mirror, but what it actually does, besides Daohe himself, very few know.”
…
Chijing Island was abuzz with excitement, and the news of the Thunder God Beast personally descending to grant Luo Feng a treasure quickly spread. Almost simultaneously, the Northern Border Alliance received the news.
“Hahaha…”
“The Ancestor God Church, since the birth of the universe, always uses the same old tricks,” a four-legged, white-furred being slowly walked through space, speaking aloud. “Now that they see the human Daohe is exceptional, they immediately start to court him. Hmm… Peifeng, you didn’t misremember, did the Howling Mirror King come here before?”
“Yes, Master,” Peifeng Venerable respectfully followed behind. “The Howling Mirror King did come here and even stood in the plaza in front of my palace.”
“When?” the four-legged white-furred being pressed.
“He came here just three years ago,” Peifeng Venerable replied.
“Hmm.”
The four-legged white-furred being slowly strode through space and soon landed on the plaza in front of a distant floating palace.
Peifeng Venerable respectfully followed behind.
“You step back. I’m about to reverse time and space. Don’t stay within my range,” the four-legged white-furred being spoke.
“Yes.” Peifeng Venerable’s eyes lit up as he quickly transformed into a streak of light, flying far away while watching eagerly. Although he was a Cosmic Sovereign himself, he had only witnessed the ‘reversal of time and space’ performed by a Cosmic Overlord once before. This would be his second time.
The reversal of time and space caused massive disturbances, and even the Cosmic Overlord could be injured by it. If severely injured, it would provide a rare opportunity for enemies to strike.
Therefore, Cosmic Overlords usually performed such feats in secret.
Unless they were highly trusted or the backlash was minimal, they rarely allowed other powerhouses to witness it.
“Roar~~~ Roar roar roar~~~” Faint growls emerged from the four-legged white-furred being’s mouth as it calmly surveyed its surroundings.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Within a certain range, time began to rapidly reverse!
It was as if a movie were being played in reverse at an incredibly rapid pace. Many powerful figures had once set foot on this plaza. The surroundings flickered—mighty beings flew backward, their words reversed. For example, when someone respectfully uttered “Venerable Peifeng,” it sounded like “Zhenfeng Venerable” when played backward…
Time rapidly reversed.
Everything seemed illusory.
“Whoosh!”
The previously reversing time abruptly halted, and the surrounding space-time, which had been rapidly rewinding, also came to a sudden stop.
In this frozen moment of reversed time, the Howling Mirror King was seen conversing with Venerable Peifeng.
“That’s me!” Watching from afar, outside the reversed time-space, Venerable Peifeng was astonished to see himself standing with the Howling Mirror King.
…
Within the reversed time-space, everything was an illusion.
Only the four-legged white-furred being was real.
“Howling Mirror King,” the four-legged white-furred being fixed its gaze on the Howling Mirror King.
“Come, my child!”
The four-legged white-furred being softly called out. Instantly, an invisible force swiftly enveloped and protected the Howling Mirror King.
“Returning through time.”
Boom~~
The surrounding space-time, which had been reversed to this point, rapidly began to return.
It was like a spring being wound tightly, and once wound to a certain point, it automatically unwound in the opposite direction!
It was like a spring being compressed repeatedly—once the pressure ceased, it rebounded!
This was a rebound!
The universe itself had a self-restoring ability. When a Cosmic Overlord reversed time and space, the universe itself would attempt to restore balance. Every moment in the reversed timeline was part of the past and shouldn’t exist in the present. If forcibly protected, it would naturally incur the universe’s backlash.
“Aaaaaa~~~” The Howling Mirror King roared as time-space returned, and wave after wave of invisible force rapidly struck him.
Yet the four-legged white-furred being calmly watched. It protected the Howling Mirror King, allowing the universe’s backlash to pass through him and onto itself. As a Cosmic Overlord, it was fully capable of resisting this cosmic backlash.
“Aaaa~~” The Howling Mirror King screamed in agony.
Pain!
During the return of time-space, wave after wave of backlash struck him, each powerful enough to easily destroy him! Resurrection through time reversal was against the laws of the universe and would incur punishment. But this punishment was willingly borne by the Cosmic Overlord!
…
Time-space continued to return.
Scenes from several years ago were first reversed, and now they were rapidly played forward again. Everything else was illusory, except for the four-legged white-furred being and the Howling Mirror King, who remained unchanged, passing through each time point.
Shortly—
The return of time-space finally ceased.
Everything returned to normal, finally restored to its original time-space node.
“I… this… this…” The Howling Mirror King stood on the plaza, looking around in confusion.
“Master.” Venerable Peifeng quickly flew over.
“It’s done.”
The four-legged white-furred being slowly nodded, looking at the Howling Mirror King. “Howling Mirror King, you have been revived, but… don’t forget, you have died once.”
“I… died once…” The Howling Mirror King stood there, stunned.
Suddenly, memories surged back, and everything returned to clarity.
“It was him! Him! Daohe!!!” The Howling Mirror King’s eyes burned with madness and resentment.
“Where is my supreme treasure? My supreme treasure!” The Howling Mirror King suddenly realized something was wrong.
The four-legged white-furred being gazed down at the Howling Mirror King calmly. “Howling Mirror King, during the time reversal, I merely protected you and brought you back from the past. I would not protect a supreme treasure and bring it back. The cost of doing so would be greater than creating ten more supreme treasures. I only revived you yourself. All other treasures and precious items were lost during the return of time-space.”
After speaking, the four-legged white-furred being walked through space and vanished completely.
“Respectfully seeing you off, Master.” Venerable Peifeng quickly bowed respectfully.
