Chapter 939 - 299: I’m Just a Passing Gambler

River of Eternal Darkness.

Deprived of cause and effect, Han Zhan is now a wizened old man.

His murky eyes are filled with darkness.

Not far in front of him, within the same cabin, "Han Zhan" is smiling as he watches this scene.

"Enjoy this last journey."

"Living is for the sake of dying."

"Your cycle’s end has arrived."

A black, devouring vortex silently opens on the river ahead, ready to swallow the small lone boat completely.

At this moment, the entire River of Eternal Darkness shook violently.

Above the originally dense black river, a streak of golden light suddenly appeared.

The smile on "Han Zhan’s" face froze there.

"What is that..."

Before he could finish, the golden water found an opening in the torn black sky and surged in!

"River of Time!"

"Han Zhan" gritted his teeth, pronouncing its name.

...

Above the River of Time, swimming against the current is the Contracted Spirit Girl, Nuannuan, with the Flowing Light and Shadow Talent Ability.

Nuannuan is no stranger to swimming upstream.

But today is different from the past; now she has broken through to Tier Nine Ultimate and successfully fused two Authorities.

She has explored most of the Dao of Time and is close to reaching the end of the Dao, stepping among the divine.

With such power, she can travel further and longer than before.

As the River of Time is summoned, the golden river gathers above the Pot World.

The golden river flows continuously, its distance from the River of Eternal Darkness growing ever closer.

As they are about to collide, the spectators in the Pot World hold their breath in anticipation.

But at this moment, the River of Time abruptly halts, ceasing its flow.

It ran dry.

Nuannuan looked in astonishment at the parched riverbed in front of her, never expecting her own River of Time to face such a situation.

The riverbed dry, the pale golden waters couldn’t reach here, unable to continue upstream.

No one expected a variable to occur here.

What to do now?

Nuannuan looked at the dry riverbed, suddenly recalling a sentence emphasized when she first awakened her Flowing Light and Shadow Talent.

"Those who mock time will eventually be mocked by time."

She had a realization in her heart.

"Since the River of Time can’t reach, then crash into it, forcibly intervene in the River of Eternal Darkness."

"Even if it costs me everything!"

With this thought, the Sun Dial beneath her feet shone with unparalleled brilliance.

The massive Sun Dial emerged at her feet, lifting her from the surface of the River of Time.

Then, she raised her hands high, ramming the dried-up riverbed of the River of Time towards the River of Eternal Darkness!

This was an absolutely reckless move.

Even Dawn Number One stood up from the bottom of the pot, gazing at the scene in the distant sky.

"Truly, madness," he murmured, unable to hold back his words.

"But without madness, there is no future, is there?"

Nuannuan couldn’t hear Dawn Number One’s exclamation. She only knew that at the moment the River of Time collided with the River of Eternal Darkness, her consciousness was collapsing.

Everyone has their own River of Time, and the collapse of the River of Time means no one knows when.

Because it’s unimaginable that anyone could allow their River of Time to collapse!

Except for a collision of equivalent level.

The only match for the River of Time is the River of Eternal Darkness!

Nuannuan’s past is vanishing.

Her memories are fading away.

The destruction of the River of Time signifies the complete erasure of her existence.

This cosmos will no longer have a Contracted Spirit Girl named Nuannuan.

Yet, even so, she resolutely continued to crash into the River of Eternal Darkness.

"This is now... the only thing I can do!"

"Break it for me!"

At this moment, where the River of Time and the River of Eternal Darkness collided, it happened to collapse at the end of the dried-up riverbed.

The golden river flowed into the black river,

A black opening appeared at the end.

Seeing this, a joyful expression spread on Nuannuan’s weakened face.

"Finally, it’s opened..."

Maneuvering the River of Time to collide with the River of Eternal Darkness, her state had reached complete exhaustion, mental collapse imminent.

The channel to the River of Eternal Darkness opened, the last strained chord finally relaxed completely.

Nuannuan’s figure transformed into scattered golden light, falling into the River of Eternal Darkness along with the golden waters.

Below the surface of the River of Eternal Darkness, the cosmic scene just paused at the birth and growth of a planet.

There immortal energy floated, and majestic palaces stood tall, where an extraordinary female immortal seemingly sensed something, raising her head to gaze at the sky.

There, an ancient mirror was descending rapidly.

"So that’s how it is."

The female immortal watched the plummeting mirror, casually forming an Immortal Technique.

The Golden Sun Dial lit up beneath her feet.

The ancient Bronze Mirror, with the counterclockwise movement of the pointer, like a film playing backward, began to return along its original descending path.

Ugly swellings suddenly appeared on the female immortal, enveloping her.

In the next instant, she transformed into a grotesque giant toad.

...

The impact of the golden river on the River of Eternal Darkness caused the entire surface to ripple.

It also completely interrupted "Han Zhan’s" plan.

On the wooden boat, the old man with cloudy eyes was illuminated by the golden light before him.

For a moment, he was dazed.

"No, not right... not right..."

"I am... I am..."

A strange sense of familiarity, an answer on the verge of being found, opened his mouth.

The old man clutched his head, about to speak his name.

"Hmph!"

"Han Zhan" shot him a fierce gaze, and with a raised hand, a massive black vortex appeared, frantically devouring the golden river descending from the sky.

Then, he stood up from the cabin, took a large stride to the old man, and choked the other’s neck with one hand!

"Everyone wants to save you, it seems you must be significant to this cosmos indeed."

"Very well, after witnessing countless cycles of the cosmos, your Creation Dao is complete, now it’s mine!"

He lowered his voice, suddenly opening his mouth to bite the old man fiercely.

Though this would cause backlash, under the interference of the River of Time, he had no choice but to resort to this measure.

At this critical moment,

A gunshot rang out, unreasonably, on the River of Eternal Darkness.

A shadowy "Wandering Shadow" retracted their gun-holding right hand, blowing mockingly at the gun barrel.

"Truly fortunate,"

"to see an old friend when one’s mental will is nearly extinguished."

"No need to thank me too much."

"I’m just a passing gambler."

After saying this,

This Wandering Shadow completely dissipated in the River of Eternal Darkness.
