Chapter 836 - 460: Can You Settle Scores with the Past Me?
One day later.
On Ruoquan Island, Li Ye had already changed into a breezy outfit that exposed his chest, lying on the beach, gazing at the clear and boundless Heavenly Dome.
A pile of various fruits was placed beside him, while the Beavers played music and served him eagerly.
Of course.
Not far away, the senior brother was also lying there.
On his exposed chest, the Jia Fruit had already embedded itself into his flesh.
Centering around the Jia Fruit, his meridians began to become translucent and bright, as if forming a mysterious pattern, with endless vitality flowing inside.
With the senior brother's breathing, the muscles on his chest and belly, along with the Jia Fruit, trembled slightly, looking quite abnormal.
"..."
"So does it also need to sunbathe?"
Li Ye lifted his head.
Somewhat helplessly said, "I'm really afraid it will suddenly grow into a tree."
The senior brother did not open his eyes either.
With a light tone, he said, "I am waiting for it to grow into a tree; only then can I completely remove the burdens from Ruo Wood and the Celestial Dao."
After answering, he asked, "Is something disastrous happening in your world, otherwise why are you so upset.
Why not tell me about it?"
Li Ye pouted, lay back down.
Closing his eyes, he said, "I cannot say, nor would I be allowed to."
Actually, he really wanted to say it.
Suppose that this world also faces such a calamity.
Without him... how many more people would die?
It sounds a bit narcissistic, but really, he achieved quite a lot—certainly, the heroes of the world could solve it, but saving a few more lives would be good.
Even though he didn't know whether this world could reach that timeline, he didn't even know when this place would collapse, but he just couldn't say it.
"Hmm?"
"...I understand now."
Jiang Guichen was thoughtful, even Li Ye couldn't speak of it.
It surely was a troublesome matter.
Not just a major issue for this world.
"So, when do you plan to leave?" he asked again.
"Ah? Are you trying to hurry me out?"
"After all, now I'm a hero of this world, and the Hell Transformation Diagram is still in my hands."
Li Ye waved the Scroll in his hand.
There were already two of them.
One was still untainted from the original.
The other was so tarnished it couldn't be salvaged.
I have no idea what the Sect Leader of this world was thinking, handing that over to me to handle—though I'm not even my old self anymore, I still had to work for the sect. It's really a bittersweet story.
But this thing does come in handy.
His own Hell needed a presence to connect the myriad worlds, and by using the "Beaver Wishing Pool," he could send this thing to various worlds.
Thus, he would be able to gather sins at this place.
It would be the greatest spectacle he had created.
"I'm not trying to drive you away."
"But... you are about to be expelled by the world."
He had already observed the world structure around Li Ye becoming unstable.
Such a peculiar late-period Nascent Soul.
One could say that Li Ye's every second of existence was a massive influence on the world, able to affect the future, and staying here for this long had been very difficult already.
He was reluctant for Li Ye to leave.
It was rare to find such a likable junior brother.
Moreover, he had a premonition.
Once he left this time, it might be impossible to meet again in the future.
——Li Ye understood as well.
He completely grasped the principle of the Xiangshui Tree, it was searching... the past buried under time because only one timeline could reach the future.
Only that future could stand stably in eternity.
The other pasts were just pasts.
His arrival here was like a back door opened by the River of Cosmic Light, once he left, this place could no longer be "observed."
In simple terms.
Only when he was watching could there be warm sunlight and sea breeze; once he left, everything would be paused by the power of Cosmic Light.
The world was not rejecting him.
It wished for him to stay.
Only with him here could the world move forward.
"..."
"Alright then."
Li Ye reluctantly stood up.
He broke off a branch from his Jianmu.
Then he directly inserted it into the sand, solemnly saying, "This is my gift for you, senior brother.
Don't ever pull it out!"
Then.
His figure was wrapped in layers of illusory river tides, beginning to disappear.
Sunlight began to halt.
The sea waves started to solidify.
The gray river tides began to "fix" the entire world.
Only the branch of Jianmu stuck in the sand still emitted a faint glow, but soon, its golden-green light began to dim, and copper rust started spreading over it.
Covering all the light.
Then,
The world entirely began to turn dark.
There seemed to be a "gurgling" sound of sinking to the riverbed.
...
"You are playing with fire."
"You'll get burned!"
Li Ye opened his eyes, seeing the large face of his master.
Hmm.
It was rare to see his master so angry.
He slowly crawled up, sat in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the endless rain beyond the window, and smiled, "Isn't this interesting?"
A Beaver immediately offered a cup of tea.
Li Ye naturally accepted it, slowly taking a sip.
Let out a comfortable sigh.
Then leaned back, collapsed to the ground.
"..."
"That was the past!"
"The past cannot be changed, otherwise, many wouldn't want regret-removing Immortal Elixir."
Taoist Suoxing felt his disciple's brain was somewhat malfunctioning in his late-period Nascent Soul stage, how could he leave a branch of Jianmu in an already destroyed world?
