Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 323 - 314: Did You Dig Up Their Ancestors’ Graves??

Chapter 323: Chapter 314: Did You Dig Up Their Ancestors’ Graves??

After hearing this, the Third Brother and the Eldest Brother exchanged a glance, their curiosity piqued.

For Dong’Er to say such words, it seems... this artifact must have a significant origin.

"The formation of a world, the birth of a world, relies on a strand of Innate Rule Origin."

"This strand of Innate Rule Origin slowly evolved into space, time, earth, mountains, rivers, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and a series of laws."

"I boldly speculate that the formation of each world in the Ten Thousand Realms relies on this initial strand of Innate Rule Origin."

"These strands of Innate Rule Origin should be numerous, possibly thousands."

"My ability is limited; I cannot discern where the first strand of Innate Rule Origin emanates from, whether it was created by someone or arose spontaneously, I cannot see clearly, nor do I have the capability to see clearly."

"However, those things are not important, not within our realm of understanding."

"What we only need to know is that the birth of the world relies on a strand of Innate Rule Origin."

"Moreover, I suspect that Innate Rule Origin also differs in quality."

"For instance, some lower mortal worlds, their initial formation might just have been tainted by a breath of it."

"These worlds are predestined from the start to have low ceilings and cannot develop too high."

"But the Longevity Immortal Realm is different. It possesses a complete strand of Innate Rule Origin, and its quality should not be low."

After hearing this, both the Eldest Brother and the Third Brother were stunned in place.

Among them, the Third Brother was most affected because he had once served as the Heavenly Dao of many lower worlds.

During his years as "Heavenly Dao," he also came into contact with something similar to "Innate Rule Origin," but he didn’t understand it deeply.

Now, after hearing Dong’Er’s words, he felt enlightened, like a sudden revelation.

"Dong’Er, do you mean that this heart-shaped crystal stone is a strand of the Innate Origin Rule?" The Third Brother asked.

As the words fell, Dong’Er nodded and said, "Yes."

"But it is incomplete, the Power of Rules contained within is only one-third left."

"Two-thirds of it has already merged with the Longevity Immortal Realm, forming the Longevity Immortal Realm’s space, earth, mountains, laws, and a series of things."

"The remaining third should be slowly merging with the Longevity Immortal Realm. Once fully integrated, the status of the Longevity Immortal Realm will be elevated, and future conquest of the Divine Domain will be just a matter of time."

"Because... from the moment of its birth, the Longevity Immortal Realm is destined to have a high ceiling."

"This is the original Power of Rules, very different from the ’Immortal Domain Law Crystal’ we reward the Lower Realm to enhance world status. One is origin, the other just luckily tainted with a bit of origination aura."

"So, Brother Da Niu retrieved this third of the Rule Origin, which is why the upper echelons of the Longevity Immortal Realm responded so greatly."

After hearing this, both the Eldest Brother and the Third Brother took a deep breath.

The Third Brother also felt a burst of fear, thinking he merely stole a top-notch treasure from the other party, but little did he expect... he had stolen the entire potential future of the Longevity Immortal Realm!

It’s akin to cutting off the ’root’ of the entire Longevity Immortal Realm and severing its future.

No wonder the other party became frenzied.

Anyone would go mad if faced with such a situation.

If this happened in the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, the Third Brother would likely have the thief torn to pieces!

This is no different from digging up someone else’s ancestral grave.

...

"Since this artifact holds such major significance, presumably the Longevity Immortal Realm won’t give up easily and will certainly investigate to the end."

"So... eventually, they will trace it to our Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm."

After the initial excitement, the Eldest Brother also began to worry. After all, there is a vast gap between the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm and the Longevity Immortal Realm. Even if the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm develops rapidly, it will take at least ten thousand years to catch up.

"When I said we made a huge gain, I wasn’t referring to acquiring this strand of the Innate Rule Origin."

"I meant... that after losing this third of the Rule Origin, more than half of the Longevity Immortal Realm’s Immortal Ore Dragon Veins will wither, and its luck, spiritual power, all will be somewhat lacking."

"Therefore, for at least the next fifty thousand years, the Longevity Immortal Realm will lie low and not emerge."

"Because they have to search through each Immortal Domain one by one, they don’t have the energy to confront hundreds of Immortal Domains simultaneously."

"Thus... we can advance our plan to attack the Longevity Immortal Realm by fifty thousand years."

Dong’Er always analyzed pros and cons from a "big picture" perspective.

This action by the Third Brother effectively severely damaged the Longevity Immortal Realm and slowed its development, thereby greatly increasing the success rate of future attacks on the Longevity Immortal Realm.

After hearing this, there was a prolonged silence.

The Eldest Brother heavily patted the Third Brother’s shoulder and said, "Though it’s a bit risky, what you did was commendable."

To this, the Third Brother replied, "I admit there was an element of gambling, but didn’t expect to gamble right!"

....

"Since this crystal stone is the Power of Origin Rules, should we present it to the Master or use it for the development of the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm?"

The Third Brother asked.

In response to this question, Dong’Er did not answer; she knew her place well and refrained from interfering in major decisions involving the Master.

As the words fell, the Eldest Brother heavily punched him and said, "Of course, we present it to the Master."

"Even though this artifact may not catch the Master’s eye, it expresses our determination and loyalty."

"And, Third Brother, have you forgotten?"

"Our goal is to conquer higher and stronger worlds for the Master, not to be confined to developing the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm."

"Once we’ve conquered the Longevity Immortal Realm, wouldn’t it be ours?"

"And in the future, conquering higher Divine Domains, once we’ve won, won’t they also be in our hands?"

"So, think long-term..."

After hearing this, the Third Brother’s eyes lit up, and he heavily slapped himself, saying, "Eldest Brother is right!"

"See, I nearly lost perspective."

"We must indeed think long-term and broaden our horizon!"

...

"Eldest Brother, let’s deliver the artifact to the Master together." The Third Brother said.

Upon hearing this, the Eldest Brother waved his hand and said, "I didn’t contribute much to this, you and Xiao Wu should go together."

"This.."

"Alright, no need to say more. This artifact was originally found by you and Xiao Wu. Once Xiao Wu wakes up, you and Xiao Wu can present it to the Master." The Eldest Brother waved his hand and said.

.....

At this moment, Xiao Wu slowly opened his eyes, struggled to rise, looked around, and wore a face of confusion.

The Third Brother put away the box, grabbed Xiao Wu, and rushed towards the void.

"Alright then, time waits for no one."

"I’ll deliver the artifact to the Master with Xiao Wu as soon as possible."

Xiao Wu wasn’t fully awake when he was seized by the Third Brother, feeling the world spin around him, a bit nauseated...

At this stage of presenting their achievements to the Master, the Third Brother, of course, would not take the credit alone, and naturally, he would bring Xiao Wu along, after all, Xiao Wu also played a significant role.

....

At this moment, Su Mu walked aimlessly along the riverbank, a worried look on his face.

"Ah, these Favor Points, they’re getting harder to earn...."
