Chapter 587: Chapter 511: The Ghost of Time

Wang Zijia looked at the two little guys, feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. He wasn’t even married yet, and he already had a daughter?

A turtle, at that?

And he was tasked with raising a ten-year-old child, possibly helping him grow into a ruler that could be granted a fiefdom!

This was not an easy thing at all!

Looking at the two kids - one big, one small, in full argument mode – Wang Zijia was feeling quite exasperated.

Perhaps... this time it also came with a hidden task (karma) of raising children?

If his guess was correct, then the inexplicable visit of Li Xingming, and his candid discussion, would make sense!

So...

He had raised a turtle, which was sent back to raise it in this era, what was this... a cycle of destiny?

A time loop?

Could this be considered the grandmother paradox?

He was a science student in his previous life, and while he wasn’t completely unfamiliar with cutting-edge issues like quantum physics and space-time, he didn’t know much about them!

In this life, this kind of field that was obviously difficult for even an Earth Immortal to touch was even more inaccessible!

Exasperating!

...

Time passed quickly – it was already half a month.

The three of them... two humans, one turtle, they quickly started getting along well after spending a long time in a confined underground space.

In the course of this process, they intermittently felt faint vibrations from above, but Wang Zijia didn’t show any intention of going out to check at all.

Even when everything returned to calm, he did not go out.

It wasn’t until half a month later that Wang Zijia cautiously reemerged to the surface with two kids in tow.

When they came to the surface, Wang Zijia found that although the frozen layer of soil had not fully thawed, it had already broken apart.

Following a crack and cautiously emerging from the ground, the beautiful scenery of the frozen land was no longer there. The entire icy land had been completely shattered by a bombardment.

It seemed that during this half-month, this area had gone through several battles of varying sizes, causing the entire region to look as though it had been ploughed over.

Not only were there no more mountain ranges, but even the original wilderness had completely disappeared.

The original wasteland where the dragon turtle lived had been completely connected with the human border, and it had turned into a huge ice crystal plain.

Apparently, the magic used by high-level cultivators crossing the tribulation could easily affect, and even change, the landscape of an area!

’So this is the origin of the future Changbao State, and the Kyoto Plain?’

’So Kyoto was built on the remains of the dragon turtle’s lair?’

’And the entire Changbao Flying Land was due to this beast tide, an area that had been expanded inexplicably? Originally not belonging to any faction, so it became a flying land?

’It truly is an impressive transformation!’

Looking at the battlefield in the distance, the core area of the battlefield had the most exaggerated effects.

Wang Zijia did not go back to check, instead he took one human and one turtle and headed inland.

...

The urgent task at hand was to immediately figure out the range in which they could move, and then figure out a way to find the evil creature that was marooned in this era, just like him.

If the opponent had reincarnated in more than ninety generations, and has made it to the tribulation stage in the last life, they could absolutely not give the opponent time to develop.

After all, if the other party could deliberately knock him out of space-time, it indicated that they noticed something.

They were natural enemies!

If they allowed the other party to grow, it was obvious that the other side would definitely seek him out, just like Wang Zijia would.

After all, based on the information available, Spring and Autumn Gold Cicada was no longer considered a bug. It was a monster, or a human!

From falling into this era on, their competition had already begun.

Whoever was slow, failure meant death!

If it were a normal reincarnation, it would be fine, no matter how powerful they were. The other side couldn’t possibly become a god monarch within three to five years of being born, right?

But if it was a seizure reincarnation, then that was another story.

Maybe they could return to a god monarch within a year, and achieve the primordial god within three to five years!

After all, this guy not only had the accumulation of several life times of cultivation, and at the time of death, also absorbed all the power of the tribulation-stage body.

...

Lost in deep thoughts, they returned the way they came.

Whether it was because of the effects of the high-ranking combat, or the unwarranted beast tide, Wang Zijia had been traveling for a long time with the little child and the kitten without meeting any others.

After a while, they returned to the border city, Black Rock City.

The entire city was completely abandoned. Between the broken building and crumbling walls, splotchy blood stains were faintly visible.

All kinds of traces told of the previous tragic events.

The city wasn’t empty, however. After the beast tide, many fierce beasts roamed the city for food, scavenging the broken corpses. Some deformed monsters aimlessly wandered.

Black Rock City, a border city, fell under the jurisdiction of the Orthodox Alliance, and was garrisoned by the Daqian Dynasty.

In this era, the three sects hadn’t separated yet, and the territories under mutual watch in an alliance were not homogenous, but intertwined.

Wang Zijia, or rather Li Shenghong originally planned to come here and defend this place. Thus, he could stay away from Kyoto, and see if he could become a prince or something.

As things turned out, he had bad luck. He hadn’t even taken up his post, and the foot just arrived, immediately followed by the destruction of the city by beast tide.

"The core resource base of the city should be in that direction, right?" Wang Zijia, floating in the city, asked.

The small turtle looked baffled, Li Shenghong shook his head and said: "I don’t know, I’ve been to the arsenal once, it’s on the outskirts of the west of the city."

Wang Zijia didn’t expect to get much information. Taking one human and one turtle, he swiftly moved towards that direction.

...

Wang Zijia had only moved a short distance when his expression suddenly changed.

Instinctively, he waved his hand and a transparent crystal shield enveloped him and the turtle.

"Whoosh!"

"Bang!"

In the next moment, all Wang Zijia could see was a streak of silver light flashing past.

His crystal shield was struck by a powerful force and started to crystallize rapidly.

"What the hell is that?"

Realizing that even though the creature had attacked him, he still couldn’t see what it was, his face twitched, and his eyes quickly turned gold.

"Bang, Bang!"

Yet, all Wang Zijia could see was a vague figure in grey that kept flickering around him.

Moreover, his protective shield began to receive multiple impacts, causing the energy shield to crystallize repeatedly.

Wang Zijia first laid his hand on Li Shengshi, then grabbed the baby turtle.

Magic coursed through him, and both disappeared, leaving two scrolls floating on the sides. The figures on the scrolls weren’t sealed and could still see the outside world. At that moment, Li Shengshi looked both amazed and worried.

Having done this, Wang Zijia ignored them both.

’Taoist art: Heavy mountain!’

As Wang Zijia chanted, the space around him instantly became incredibly dense.

The creature that was moving quickly, constantly attacking Wang Zijia, momentarily stalled.

Taking this opportunity, Wang Zijia finally got a good look at the creature.

It was a grey-white monkey, about two meters tall, but not muscular.

On the contrary, it was very thin, so much so it could be described as skin and bones. It didn’t have any other deformities, and it looked like a fierce beast?

However, what puzzled Wang Zijia was that he didn’t sense any cultivation from it.

This thing, it was like a dead object!

Yet, its speed and strength had reached the God Monarch Level, surpassing any infant god in terms of speed.

At least Wang Zijia admitted that he was no match for it!

What made Wang Zijia’s eyes flash was that the creature was only affected by the gravity field created by Wang Zijia for a moment. And before Wang Zijia could do anything.

In the next moment, the monkey, which had momentarily paused, turned into afterimages and began attacking Wang Zijia again.

As if gravity couldn’t affect its speed!

Wang Zijia frowned, increased his magical output, and the surrounding gravity field increased several folds, making the air quite dense.

"Bang, Bang!"

However, the white figure was not affected at all and continued to attack Wang Zijia relentlessly!

Wang Zijia’s eyes flashed coldly!

The next moment, he immediately cancelled the spell, and the gravity disappeared.

"Whoosh! Bang!"

A breaking sound rang out. The grey figure coming towards him, ready to attack again, suddenly crashed onto Wang Zijia’s shield due to the sudden increase in speed.

A gleam flashed in Wang Zijia’s eyes, and the four dark red long swords next to him, ready for a long time, struck out like lightning.

One of them was even gripped by Wang Zijia who cut horizontally with it. It was like a lightning bolt, and it decapitated the grey monkey instantly.

"Plop!"

Instantly, as the skinny grey monkey’s head fell, all attacks stopped.

After sensing his surroundings and finding no other movements, Wang Zijia finally cancelled the spell.

With his golden eyes flashing, he crouched down and looked at the monkey’s corpse.

Category: Demon Monkey

Status: Deeply corrupted

Information: Ordinary ferocious beast that has undergone severe mutation due to infection by unknown power.

An ordinary savage beast?

Is a being capable of threatening a God Monarch called an ordinary savage beast?

Looking at the information obtained from his spirit eye, Wang Zijia frowned.

The long sword in his hand discreetly melted into his palm. A tiny, invisible ghost mouth appeared at his fingertip, ready to let Big Baby take a bite and to observe the reaction.

However, as soon as his hand touched the skinny monkey demon’s body, it seemed to have experienced the baptism of thousands of years and quickly decomposed right in front of Wang Zijia’s eyes. In a blink of an eye, it vanished completely without leaving a trace.

Well, it can’t be said that it left nothing behind.

The moment the demon monkey’s skull had decomposed, a silver thread passed through Wang Zijia’s shield without any hindrance and darted into his body.

Wang Zijia almost instinctively dove into his Chaotic Sea of Knowledge.

Under the illumination of the golden scales, there were no new weights.

But in space, next to the balance scale, a silver thread appeared that was about ten times thinner than a hair.

"What is this?" He frowned and gave it a glance, then tried to touch it.

The silver thread melted into Wang Zijia’s consciousness without any resistance, and at the same time, a piece of information surfaced like an instinct.

Item: Time Sin Origin Power

Description: The space-time energy leak caused by an unknown existence stirring up space and time, creating a time sin field. As a result, within this time sin field, due to the influence of time energy and time sin, a large number of time ghosts have been born!

Note: Time ghosts feed on time and are especially sensitive to the powers of space-time. They act on instinct, without reasoning. Some of them can develop special space-time abilities, approach with caution.
