Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 355 - 345: New Era, Defending the Foundation, Sublimation Through Reflection

Chapter 355: Chapter 345: New Era, Defending the Foundation, Sublimation Through Reflection

Upon getting closer, it was clear it was the Little Black Dragon, Kong Yao, and the others.

On the back of the Little Black Dragon stood a small figure.

Kong Yao and the Golden Python were on both sides, the Koi Carp was leading the way in front, while the Red Crab and the Profound Turtle stood on the back of the Black Dragon, protecting the small figure in the middle.

The Five Littles stood at the tail of the Black Dragon, vigilantly watching the surroundings.

The old Cyan Ox stood behind the small figure.

The strongest, the Little Tiger Whale, was swimming at the rear, always ready to handle dangerous situations.

....

Upon reaching the riverbank, Nannan jumped down from the back of the Little Black Dragon and anxiously ran to Su Mu, hugging him tightly.

With red eyes, she said, "Daddy, Nannan is useless, couldn’t help Daddy and even became a burden..."

Hearing these words, Su Mu was taken aback.

He didn’t expect Nannan to say such words, blaming herself first for being useless, which moved Su Mu but also left him with a pang of heartache.

She was not even seven years old yet but already thought about how to protect her father, being so sensible, sensibly to the point of heartbreak.

Su Mu smiled and said, "It was Daddy who didn’t protect you well."

"It’s alright, Daddy wasn’t hurt."

Nannan kept checking Su Mu’s injuries, while Su Mu smiled and gently rubbed her head.

...

When he was trapped within the array, he wasn’t just sitting there waiting for death.

He was waiting for Nannan to leave the cellar, and once the Little Black Dragon and the others picked up Nannan, he had no more worries.

Because Su Mu had built a transfer array at the bottom of the cellar for safety reasons, which could randomly send someone to a location along the River of Time.

Therefore, Su Mu activated the array in the cellar, transferring Nannan out.

.....

He was worried that if he truly lost, Nannan hiding in the cellar would be in great danger, but by transferring her out, Su Mu had fewer concerns.

So, he sent Nannan, the Little Fox, the old Cyan Ox, and the Five Littles out together.

However... the Little Fox forcibly refused Su Mu’s transfer and stayed in the cellar, observing the battle.

If the situation turned unfavorable, she would rush out of the cellar at any time.

In fact, Su Mu also didn’t understand why this Little Fox was so protective of him, as he hadn’t done anything to help her, only giving her a vague promise. Whether he even had the ability to fulfill it was still a question.

.....

After sending Nannan and the others out, Su Mu sent a Divine Thought to the Little Black Dragon and Kong Yao to find Nannan.

After the elders and others found Nannan, they took her and the others to hide along the River of Time.

Since returning to the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm was more dangerous, with the possibility of it collapsing at any moment, remaining along the River of Time was a safer option. If even the River of Time became unsafe, it would mean their master had already been defeated, making hiding pointless.

...

At this moment, everyone looked at Su Mu with eyes full of guilt.

Because in the moment of danger, none of them could help. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to help, but they simply couldn’t, as they didn’t have the right or even the qualification to approach the battlefield.

Seeing this, Su Mu waved his hand with a smile and said, "No one is strong all the time, as long as you work hard, one day you will all stand firm on the battlefield."

These words were specifically meant for them to hear.

In fact, Su Mu didn’t initially take in these Spirit Beasts to fight alongside him. If you must say there was a purpose, it was because he saw their potential and felt they were worth nurturing. Furthermore, they had helped Su Mu a lot during his early development.

.....

Su Mu came to the entrance of the cellar, opened the cellar door, and the waiting Little Fox leaped up, circled around Su Mu, and after finding that he was uninjured, she quietly lay down under a tree.

"Alright, everyone is here, let me briefly introduce you."

Thus, Su Mu also briefly introduced the Little Fox, the Five Littles, as they were all subdued by Su Mu later on, and the Little Black Dragon and Kong Yao didn’t know them.

.....

Unknowingly, Su Mu’s "home" seemed to have grown much larger.

Though they were all Spirit Pets, in Su Mu’s eyes, they were trustworthy family members, adding some companionship to the otherwise dull and tasteless years spent guarding the river.

After saying a few words briefly, he let the Little Black Dragon and the others leave.

After all, after the flood, the river was extremely chaotic, and unexpected dangers could arise.

"Nannan, would you like to go live with your big brother and the others outside for a while?" Su Mu asked Nannan.

Because the river had been very chaotic recently, with the Little Black Dragon and the others watching over her, Su Mu could be at ease.

"Nannan doesn’t want to go, Nannan wants to stay by Daddy’s side."

In Nannan’s view, staying by her father’s side, at least, she could help a little, even if only a very small bit.

...

The elders and others returned to the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm at the fastest speed.

Upon entering the Cyan Fragrance Courtyard, they saw Dong’Er slumped over a wooden table, sleeping from exhaustion, with stacks of thick documents next to her.

Hearing the commotion, Dong’Er slowly lifted her head and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

At this moment, the elders and others were stunned.

The white cloth covering Dong’Er’s eyes was gone, and her eyes were beautiful, as if they were made of amber. Without the white cloth covering her eyes, everyone discovered that Dong’Er was so beautiful.

"Dong’Er, your eyes?" asked the third elder.

Since he was the most familiar with Dong’Er, based on what Uncle Qingshan said, Dong’Er had been blind since birth.

But Uncle Qingshan later said that Dong’Er was not actually blind.

If Dong’Er removed the white cloth, it meant she had forcibly awakened her bloodline. As for the consequences of awakening her bloodline, the third elder didn’t know; it was a secret of the Wisdom Divine Race.

So, during the time they had been away, something major must have happened.

The third elder thought of something, took the Compass from his sleeve, and, when his eyes fell upon a point of light on the Compass, his pupils contracted, and he froze in place.

"Dong’Er, you..."

The third elder took a deep breath: "How did you do it?!"

Because the third elder discovered that since they went into the River of Time, not a single world under the Heaven Shepherd Alliance was destroyed!

When they left, the world under the Heaven Shepherd Alliance was in a state of collapse.

They had already abandoned the Heaven Shepherd Alliance, prepared to come back and start over again, but unexpectedly... the foundation of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance was preserved by Dong’Er.

Everyone looked at Dong’Er with faces full of disbelief.

Although many worlds had already been destroyed, the main foundation of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance remained intact.

It was widely known that Dong’Er couldn’t cultivate, had no Cultivation, so how did she manage it??

Regarding everyone’s confusion, Dong’Er merely smiled without offering any further explanation.

The elders and others sensibly didn’t ask more questions; it was a secret of the Wisdom Divine Race, and they knew not to pry.

They only needed to know that Dong’Er had paid a great price to protect the Heaven Shepherd Alliance.

....

"I have an important decision to make."

The elder said to everyone, his eyes filled with seriousness.
