Chapter 1176: Chapter 845: Return and External Divine Powers!_3

"What the hell was that, what attacked me?"

Wang Zijia felt bewildered as he meticulously recalled the abrupt encounter but failed to understand the slightest bit about what had just happened.

Let alone why the other party wanted to kill him, Wang Zijia didn’t even know what it was that attacked him!

...

Unlike his previous returns, he used to follow the flow downstream, during which he would always see many things in the river.

There would also be some information about the evolution of events pertaining to this travel through time.

But returning against the current, upstream, he saw nothing.

This was normal, after all; once he returned, the future as known might not occur, so having no information on evolution made sense.

...

Wang Zijia watched the Golden Balance, like a fish swimming upstream through the turbulent waters for a long while,

until at some moment, it seemed to reach its destination and the protective light orb around Wang Zijia crashed straight into it.

Endless streamers of light assaulted him, and in a trance for a moment, Wang Zijia’s perception returned.

When he came to his senses, he immediately looked around.

Surrounding him, rampant energies of destruction raged, and ahead was a massive bubble zone with seven worlds within, some broken, some intact.

Compared to before Zijia’s travel, the only thing missing here was the terrifying silverish time-space force that resembled seaweed.

However, the bubble zone didn’t seem to collapse due to the disappearance of that force either.

Wang Zijia checked himself and noticed no changes.

He sensed his Chaotic Sea of Knowledge and communicated with the Anchor to check the time—some time had passed since he journeyed through time.

"More than three months? That’s about the time I spent in the apocalyptic world!"

"It seems the flow of time is normal!"

"But what was that last thing that attacked me?"

"It felt human? Perhaps the last survivor or winner of our era? Was it a monster or a monk?"

"And that place, was it really a real world transformed by the divine power of Shen Hong?"

"Who created it?"

"Is it a contingency plan by the Taoist School for Shen Hong’s apocalyptic demise, or part of the karma of the End God Macro, a pitfall? Preparations by the three great emperors?"

"Damn it, it happened too quickly; I feel like I haven’t figured anything out!"

"..."

Lost in thought, Wang Zijia felt rather frustrated!

"Forget it, it’s already like this, thinking more is useless; even if I travel to the future again, it’s probably impossible to return to the same point!"

"Moreover, with my return, the future in several decades might not follow the same course."

"However... that matter with the divine power of Shen Hong really needs more attention; there’s definitely a big trap involved!"

Since the first time Wang Zijia went there, he knew something was off, and the waters ran deep.

After all, the being that could gather such terrifying time-space and information forces to artificially create a world that might be a parallel space-time was limited to only a few.

Now it was just fully confirmed that there were indeed big traps!

Suppressing the tumultuous thoughts in his mind, Wang Zijia regained his focus.

He looked around and finally set his gaze toward the seven great worlds below.

Judging by Yao Wenxuan’s achievement of Grandmaster Taiyi within fifty years, these worlds didn’t lack resources and might hold significant opportunities.

Wang Zijia hesitated for a long time but ultimately decided not to venture in immediately.

Though if Wang Zijia entered now, there was a chance he could be caught in a strange flow of time, spending hundreds of thousands of years there before returning as a king.

But is that world capable of nurturing two Grandmasters Taiyi?

More likely, both possibilities would be lost!

After all, Yao Wenxuan never seemed to have any good fortune.

Besides, this world might not have such opportunities; maybe it’s merely a time anomaly. Yao Wenxuan succeeded because of his cheat and his grandfather.

For instance, inheriting and absorbing his grandfather’s Tao Fruit!

After much deliberation, Wang Zijia finally decided not to delve in.

Since he still had thirty to fifty years, if he really couldn’t find a way, it wouldn’t be too late to look into it later!

If he found a path to follow, he wouldn’t want to upset this guy’s chances. Then, several decades later, if Yao Wenxuan succeeded, an additional force would be gained.

But if his entry caused neither to have the possibility of enlightenment or, before the war erupted, if neither had achieved enlightenment, that would make things worse.

After all, when the five Grandmasters Taiyi annihilated each other, having him would reduce it to four, and then...

So, after a brief moment of thought, Wang Zijia no longer hesitated. He took one deep look at the worlds below, flashed away, and vanished on the spot.

The only thing left in his place was an Anchor Artifact that transformed into a streak of light and rushed into one of the broken World Ruins.

...

At the Main Peak of the Spirit Suppressing Pavilion amidst the mountain range of the Taiqing Floating Continent in the Central Immortal Domain,

Wang Zijia’s form appeared abruptly on the rooftop.

However, before he could float down, he instinctively frowned in confusion.

With a shock, he opened his clothes and looked down.

Where his chest was, there used to be a circle of chubby, cutesy New Year’s painting dolls surrounding a toad, forming an odd tattoo.

They were the home of the Five Ghosts and Da Chou.

But now, the circle spontaneously stirred without Wang Zijia summoning them.

The wheels of the repulsive toad at the center flickered with silver light, and at the edges, the Five Ghosts seemed to be extremely unaccustomed to such illumination, restlessly squirming, trying to break free from Wang Zijia’s body.
