Chapter 5: The Long River of Time (Second Update)_1



The Three Thousand Dao flowed like rivers, a hundred streams returning to the sea, converging at Hongmeng's brow and ultimately merging into one.

The Hongmeng Path was complete.

At this moment, Hongmeng entered an extremely mysterious and unique state; everything around him became exceptionally clear. The Heavenly Earth Path lay bare before him, his Spiritual Platform was clear, his thoughts agile. He seemed to have transcended the mortal world, transcended the universe itself.

In an instant, everything around him became illusory and vanished, as if he stood above all, detached from the confines of heaven and earth.

WHOOSH.

An endless, mighty river roared into existence, in an instant spanning past, present, and future, its waters surging, spray flying everywhere. Hongmeng thought he saw, within a cresting wave, a towering expert with a jar of wine and a sword, slaying gods and demons, annihilating the Nine Heavens. However, that expert was soon submerged by the waves, engulfed by the relentless river. Each cresting wave represented countless eras, magnificent legends from infinite expanses of time and space... Together, they formed this majestic, magnificent, and wondrous epic river.

The River of Time.

Spanning the ages.

Crushing eternity.

At this moment, on the Eternal Continent, the myriad Paths of Heaven and Earth simultaneously emerged, and all living beings trembled inexplicably. One by one, ancient and terrifying beings either awoke from their slumber or opened their eyes from seclusion... Beams of divine light, terrifying to the extreme, pierced through the cosmos, pierced through past, present, and future, to gaze upon the surging River of Time.

Upon the River of Time, colossal and terrifying figures appeared. They stood upon the River of Time. Time could not erode their spirits, nor could causality burden their forms. The Great Dao itself coiled around them, their gazes pierced through past, present, and future, their might awe-inspiring and terrifying.

"Who is it?"

"Someone has actually caused the River of Time to tremble!"

"This isn't a mighty expert transcending the River of Time, but the emergence of a terrifying genius who has comprehended a heaven-defying Path!"

One after another, terrifying experts exclaimed in alarm. They knew that a Path capable of making the River of Time tremble was immeasurably powerful. Such a genius, as long as they did not perish prematurely, would undoubtedly become an unparalleled expert in the future.

"Investigate!"

"We must find him!"

One by one, the mighty experts gave their commands, and the endless ancient and powerful forces of the Eternal Continent were stirred.

Storms brewed across the land. Exceptional individuals were moved.

And at this moment, Hongmeng had already sunk deep into that profoundly mysterious state. He saw endless, resplendent ages; witnessed countless peerless experts, their Paths clashing in grand contention; saw geniuses vying for supremacy, their flesh and blood forming rivers, their bones forging thrones...

It was as if something was gestating within his eyes. Complex purple runes flickered and continuously combined, ultimately forming a mysterious symbol.

BOOM.

At this very moment, two beams of purple divine light erupted from Hongmeng's eyes, carrying with them an unending flow of profound mysteries. An expert within the River of Time seemed to sense something and slowly raised their head. In that instant, across the River of Time, their two gazes collided. The purple light in Hongmeng's eyes cleaved through Chaos, emanating an unstoppable and terrifying radiance that pierced through all existence.

Such a fearsome gaze! Shock filled the expert's eyes, their spirit trembling, before they were once again submerged in the River of Time.

The Hongmeng Dao Pupil! A realization dawned in Hongmeng's heart. He had comprehended the Hongmeng Path, and from it, a terrifying innate Divine Skill was born.

RUMBLE!

At this moment, the River of Time suddenly surged violently, waves towering to the sky, tumultuous and overwhelming, leaving countless experts even more astounded.

"Who exactly is it?"

"For countless ages, even when peerless geniuses were born, the disturbances they caused were merely ripples upon the water."

"Yet this time, the entire River of Time has been thrown into turmoil! What kind of existence has emerged, and what Path have they comprehended?"

"The Primordial Chaos, a vast ocean."

"Impossible to perceive."

"Unimaginable."

Within the River of Time, voices belonging to beings of ultimate terror erupted in shock, tempestuous waves of emotion surging through their hearts.

In an endless, remote, and mystical expanse of space-time, a green-robed figure was bound by three thousand Order Chains. Infinite Dao rhythms flowed within his eyes, his gaze seemingly piercing through the Myriad of Realms and immeasurable distances of space-time.

The figure in green robes murmured, "Strange occurrences are common every year, but this year there are especially many! Has a peerless prodigy emerged?"

He did not take it to heart. No matter how exceptional one's talents, without growth, one is still but an ant. Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of peerless prodigies who perished midway, vanishing into the long River of Time.

He suddenly thought, "However, the System Origin I cast down has just disappeared, and now a peerless prodigy has been born. Could there be a connection between the two?"

But then he shook his head. "How could a System Origin be destroyed by such an undeveloped talent! Perhaps his sect's elders might have a slight chance of doing so. But it's just one System Origin. If it's lost, it's lost."

The green-robed figure didn't dwell on it further. He had cast down many such System Origins to help him plunder the infinite fortune from the Myriad of Realms. The loss of a single System Origin was no great matter.

Of course, once he broke free from his restraints, this score would still be settled. What belonged to him, no one could touch. If they did, they would pay the price.

Hongmeng was unaware of these events. He had journeyed through the River of Time, witnessing the infinite wonders and magnificence of the cosmos. His horizons had broadened immensely, as if a door to a new world had opened before him.

Upon opening his eyes, he found the Hongmeng Purple Qi had already merged into his body. Above his head, a purple, heaven-piercing Path materialized. This was the Hongmeng Path.

Having accumulated for so long, it's time to break through to True God! Hongmeng's eyes shone with excitement and anticipation. He had acquired many Paths of the Heavenly Gods and could have directly ascended to become a Heavenly God. But to establish the Hongmeng Path as his foundation, he had suppressed his urge to break through, remaining at the Upper God Peak, constantly accumulating. Now, he had finally accumulated enough. When the conditions were ripe, he comprehended the Hongmeng Path.

Let the breakthrough begin.

The mountain-like pile of Divine Crystals around him ignited instantly, at least one billion of them.

WHOOSH. WHOOSH. WHOOSH.

As the Divine Crystals burned, vast and boundless Divine Power permeated every inch of the Temple, transforming it into a surging, tumultuous ocean of Divine Power. So many Divine Crystals—even a Heavenly God would feel the pinch. But Hongmeng didn't care; Divine Crystals were what he lacked least right now.

With a thought, his physical body, already cultivated to the extreme limit of a True God, instantly shattered into countless particles. Countless particles floated in the ocean of Divine Power; even his Divine Soul disintegrated into particles. For an ordinary Superior God, or even a Heavenly God, their physical body disintegrating into particles might not mean death, but for their Divine Soul to do so would be an absolute death sentence. However, under the empowering influence of the Hongmeng Path and the Hongmeng Purple Qi, Hongmeng was not only alive but in an exceptionally good state.

Then, nourished by the ocean of Divine Power, Hongmeng controlled the Hongmeng Path and Hongmeng Purple Qi to fuse deeply with the particles of his Divine Soul. The Hongmeng Purple Qi had already merged into Hongmeng's body, but that was just a preliminary integration. Now, it was a profound fusion, reaching deep down to the particle level.
