Told You I Can Turn Back Time
Chapter 457 - 370: The Change of the Moon

Chapter 457: Chapter 370: The Change of the Moon

Countless fragments of primordial spirits once again transformed into Lin Xing’s head.

And the Immortal Rune on his forehead burst forth with an extremely domineering aura of pressure.

To break through from an Independent Immortal to the fourth legacy, Lin Xing needed to blaze a new trail.

Aside from refining his physical body into an existence akin to a magical treasure, he also needed to place himself in mortal danger, navigating between life and death to reassemble his primordial spirit and completely shatter the shackles of being an Independent Immortal.

The broken sword was increasingly astonished, "The steadfastness of his Pure Yang Primordial Spirit is so formidable, I fear even he himself would struggle to break through it."

"Is he now seizing the opportunity of this calamity to reforge his primordial spirit? Actively seeking out a calamity upon calamity? He’s quite bold."

Bai Yiyi was also slightly startled upon hearing this and thought to herself, "So that’s it. Lin Xing wants to use this tribulation not only to fulfill the space-time logic where he must die once but also to achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation?"

Knowing this, Bai Yiyi became even more anxious, simply because the task Lin Xing was attempting was already extremely difficult, and now it had become even more so, to the extent that even she, the world’s foremost teacher, could hardly muster any confidence in the outcome.

As Lin Xing’s primordial spirit continuously reassembled, the old primordial spirit was collapsing faster and faster, while the new primordial spirit began to reveal its nascent form.

However, as the old primordial spirit crumbled, the madness that Lin Xing had suppressed became increasingly difficult to calm.

The old primordial spirit suddenly erupted with an invisible surge of spiritual thought, sweeping out in all directions, reducing mountaintops to dust.

Just as the old primordial spirit began rampaging, a palm suddenly pressed down on the head of this primordial spirit.

The newly reformed primordial spirit coldly said, "You... be quiet!"

Watching the two primordial spirits, new and old, suddenly engage in a frenzied struggle, Bai Yiyi anxiously asked, "Old man, can you tell which one is which?"

With primordial spirits intangible and fast as lightning, and now two Lin Xing’s primordial spirits fighting each other with such speed that they resembled lightning, Bai Yiyi could not distinguish between them.

Old primordial spirit: "Roar!"

New primordial spirit: "I told you to keep quiet!"

In the blink of an eye, they had covered hundreds of kilometers on the Moon, with each path they took leaving ground shattered and pitted with numerous dense craters.

The old primordial spirit was just wildly destroying everything in its path out of madness, while the new primordial spirit was attempting to suppress the other and continue with the reassembly.

The formidable strength of both sides manifested alongside the shifts in their respective wills, expanding the battlefield with each encounter.

Broken Sword answered, "We can’t intervene in this battle; we can only hope the little guy can handle it himself."

...

While Lin Xing headed to the Moon to reassemble his primordial spirit,

On Earth, in a school’s playground, students who were jogging leisurely suddenly felt lighter, running faster and stronger than before.

Information regarding running techniques surfaced in their minds.

"Do I now possess skill in techniques?"

Inside a martial arts school, two students were sparring.

One of the youths threw a punch and suddenly there was an explosive sound, sending his opponent flying with a single punch.

Feeling the boxing techniques suddenly appear in his mind, he was stunned on the spot, but moments later, he became ecstatic, "I’ve mastered boxing techniques, am I a genius or what?"

The other students gathered around, chattering nonstop when suddenly a loud explosion was heard.

The instructor had actually kicked a sandbag to explosion.

In a narrow alley, a heavily wounded expert from the Mirror World lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

"These hidden weapons of this place are incredibly potent; I haven’t even seen my assailant, yet I’m severely injured."

His consciousness was beginning to scatter, "I did not expect that on my first visit here, I would die in this place..."

But the next moment, a burst of spiritual awareness congregated at his wounds, and the once grievous injuries began to show signs of healing.

"Have I achieved sublimation? At such a time?"

Minutes later, before the police and military arrived in the alley, a figure burst out and plunged into the crowd, igniting thunderous sounds of battle.

However, shortly after the fighting commenced, the earth suddenly began to shake violently, signaling the advent of an earthquake.

...

As the aura of spiritual awareness surged with the great changes of heaven and earth, the situation on Earth became increasingly chaotic.

Firstly, experts from various sides began to lose control.

Whether they were powerful individuals from Mirror World or the cultivated masters from the nations of this present world, all saw their powers grow immensely on this day of surging spiritual awareness.

Some suddenly mastered the skills that they had long struggled to achieve, while others broke through the last barriers in their cultivation.

Even many ordinary people attained supernatural abilities beyond the mundane.

In an environment where spiritual energy was surging, the concentration of malevolent energy in the world also steadily rose.

Thus, with the sudden acquisition of power and a surge in martial strengths, many experts and geniuses found their hearts overtaken by unprecedented violence and ambition.

But the great changes in the world brought about more than just this, as over five hundred cities on Earth experienced severe earthquakes just as the spiritual energy grew denser.

This unexpected disaster caused countless deaths and left governments around the world in frantic disarray.

In such chaos, many of the newly empowered began to wield their power without restraint.

A world that had not seen heinous crimes for more than a hundred years suddenly began to experience robberies, murders, brawls...with the number of deaths per hour breaking historical records.

...

Atop a field of ruins,

Xuanyin Taoist from the Ming Mountain Sect was observing the desolate city.

Since his defeat at the conference between the two worlds, Xuanyin Taoist returned to Ming Mountain Sect.

At this moment, sensing the spiritual veins beneath his feet, he silently thought, "Who would have thought that following these spiritual veins, seeking the patterns of spiritual energy flow, I would end up in Xia Country?"

"After the profound changes between heaven and Earth, the spiritual veins of the two worlds are actually connected?"

"The alterations within the spiritual veins clearly bear artificial traces."

"Such a grand undertaking... could it be the work of the Immortal who crafted the Kunlun Dragon Vein?"

He sighed, "To transform the environment of an entire world, and even bridge two worlds together, such means are... unimaginable, unimaginable indeed."

Originally, after the great changes between heaven and Earth, Xuanyin Taoist felt his own strength rapidly advance.

Even with the changed environment, he felt he no longer needed the spiritual veins of Ming Mountain Sect, and the path to mastering the third, and even fourth legacy seemed to be much clearer.

He was somewhat complacent, thinking that once he grew stronger in the future, he might challenge Lin Xing again to become one of the top experts in the world.

But now, having sensed a glimmer of the Immortal’s methods, Xuanyin Taoist couldn’t help but feel dispirited.

In the face of such world-altering feats, the breakthroughs of powerful individuals like them seemed utterly insignificant.

Especially the so-called Immortals, who seemed far from the kind and benevolent beings of myth.

In fact, to Xuanyin, they appeared to have paid no mind to the life and death of mortals.

"With such brutal modifications to the spiritual veins, continuous earthquakes devastate countless lands, and the number of dead and injured is beyond measure... What could be the Immortals’ purpose in doing this?"

A thought unavoidably emerged in Xuanyin Taoist’s mind, "Perhaps to them, we are just ants, to be disposed of at will?"

Just then, as he looked up at the moon in a reflective lament, Xuanyin Taoist suddenly bristled.

He stared fixedly at the Moon, his mouth gradually agape, but he restrained himself from making a sound.

He had seen a face on the Moon.

A face belonging to Lin Xing.

...

"A human face appears on the Moon!"

"Who carved a face on the lunar surface?"

"Lin Xing lands on the Moon!"

The face on the Moon was so unmistakable that news of it spread across the globe almost instantly.

The spectacle was so astounding that governments worldwide were stunned, unsure of what to do.

As more and more people recognized the face on the lunar surface as Lin Xing, shock was the first response, followed by awe and deep fear.

From Earth, over 380,000 kilometers away from the Moon, to create a visage visible to the inhabitants of Earth required a terrifyingly immense power, one that could easily obliterate modern nations.

Clearly... Lin Xing, the one who left his face on the Moon, had obtained such power.

Thus, whenever someone looked up at the night sky, a profound awe and fear of the mightiest surged through them.

Subsequently, a heavy question weighed on everyone’s hearts, "What is Lin Xing planning to do?"

Why did he go to the Moon and leave his face there? What was the purpose?

The intent behind the actions of such a fearsome figure compelled people to wonder and contemplate.

Some speculated Lin Xing had gone mad, intending to use the Moon to collide with Earth, to bring about destruction.

Others saw him as a deity, worshipping the Moon, and countless cults sprung up overnight.

Some believed the great earthquakes were due to Lin Xing’s alterations to the Moon.

All sorts of speculations and discussions exploded over the internet, even temporarily overshadowing news of the earthquakes.

Confronted with this unknown and terrifying force, a sense of panic began to uncontrollably spread among humanity.

...

"It’s merely a warning."

"Those who’ve made a bit of progress and are smug."

"Those who wish to commit misdeeds with their meager power."

"Those who think they can act capriciously in this world..."

"If you don’t wish to be annihilated, then tuck in your heads, keep your tails between your legs, and abstain from seeking your own doom."

"Because Lin Xing, he doesn’t like the world to be in such a state of chaos."

Just as the world was starting to panic due to Lin Xing’s terrifying power,

Jing Shiyu, acting as Lin Xing’s spokesperson, received the belief of many.

Thus, when talents achieved breakthroughs and were filled with pride in their own strength, the Moon in the night sky would crush their arrogance.

When the strong attempted to use violence to seize advantages in this chaos, the Moon instilled fear, suppressing their malice.

When the natives fleeing from the Mirror World sought to cause trouble in this realm, the sight of the Moon caused them to fall to their knees, proclaiming a miracle.

In this manner, as the Moon changed, a chaotic outbreak that seemed imminent worldwide was temporarily suppressed.

But Jing Shiyu paid no mind to all this.

Because these matters had never concerned her, she acted only because she felt Lin Xing would like her doing so.

Afterward, Jing Shiyu simply spent night after night gazing at the Moon in the night sky, missing the person on the Moon.
