A century of time, fleeting like a steed.
Now, Li Hao has reached a soul life of three hundred years.
In the mortal world, even a short decade remains vividly in one's memory, let alone this century of laughter and companionship.
"A hundred years..."
"How brief it is."
Li Hao murmured softly, a prompt appeared before his eyes, but he directly ignored it.
"Senior Brother Haotian, do not be saddened. We perished fighting ancient demons, dying a just death, contributing to the Human Race."
Bitter Bridge said softly, looking at the young man with exceedingly gentle eyes.
He didn't say they died without regret because they indeed had regrets, that was their inability to advance further, to reach the ultimate realm at the end of the immortal divine path.
In this world, who among immortals and divines doesn't long for a glimpse of the supreme Emperor Realm?
But dust returns to dust, earth to earth, bones buried at the frontier, ultimately unable to continue the struggle.
Above, snowflakes drift lightly, blanketing the courtyard, filled with melancholy, draping the shoulders and heads of the people, adding an air of desolation.
Yet, when Li Hao heard Bitter Bridge's words, he smiled, and with his smile, these petals transformed into bright red flowers of the other shore, blooming as beautiful flowers on the afterlife soil.
"Though I have a heart of reverse time, I lack the power. One day, if I can trace the origin of time, I will surely bring you all out of that battlefield!"
Li Hao said softly.
Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Bitter Bridge and the others exchanged glances, the surrounding white snow had already transformed into a sea of vibrant flowers, petals dancing in the wind, the frigid cold wind in the courtyard had also become a spring breeze exuding floral scents, carrying the petals upwards to chase the light of the sun and moon.
"In that case, we shall thank Senior Brother Haotian!"
Bitter Bridge and others all bowed deeply.
Li Hao did not say more, the surrounding painting realm flowed, the figures of Bitter Bridge and others gradually blurred, as they neared disappearing, they each raised a hand to wave goodbye to Li Hao.
The voices also drifted to the young man's ears in the wind.
"Senior Brother Haotian, until we meet again..."
"Senior Brother Haotian, our first meeting, I am..."
"Senior Brother Haotian..."
As time flowed and changed, the scenery in the painting realm also shifted, only Li Hao and Shi Miao, who stood quietly by his side, seemed like the only still existences in this chaotic time-space.
"Your time origin... has already caught up to this body of mine."
Shi Miao said softly.
Li Hao looked at her, sudden tenderness appeared in his eyes, reaching out to hold her hand, he said, "Seeing those who have passed and can't be retrieved, you've been living in pain, haven't you?"
Shi Miao remained silent, only she, born from the Time Divine Tree of Chaos, understood how terrifying a curse time was.
Even when witnessing the past and future, yet incapable of change, that is the most hopeless moment.
"But amid countless shattered desperations, you have always been there."
Shi Miao also tightened her grip on Li Hao's hand, only she knew that Li Hao was her salvation in desperation.
Li Hao nodded slightly, "I will always be here, always!"
He squeezed Shi Miao's hand, as if he wanted to imprint a mark.
The two gazed at each other, as if their souls were drawn closer at this moment, everything unspoken.
A long time later.
Shi Miao softly said, "With your current Time Origin Realm, I can rest assured as you head to the Endless Heavenly Domain, should no one in the Immortal Monarch Realm be a match for you or pose a threat."
Li Hao thought of the earlier prompt and the numerous insights in his mind, he already understood what was going on.
In the Sea of Consciousness, he brought up the interface to see the earlier prompt.
[You have comprehended the Artistic Path Heart Realm, Reverse Time Painting Realm]
[Artistic Path advanced to the thirteenth stage]
Li Hao saw in the State of Mind section, a thirteenth stage Painting Realm Dao Heart had emerged.
Just by embedding it and adding a little Skill Points, he could advance to the Immortal King Realm!
But with a hundred years until the Endless Heavenly Domain opens, Li Hao naturally wouldn't advance now.
"If I break through the seal of the King with a heart of reverse time, then my Realm would be the Reverse Time Realm!"
Li Hao's eyes held contemplation, Reverse Time Realm, as the name implies, can reverse time-space, but the range that can be reversed is limited, earlier with Bitter Bridge and Han Ku in the painting realm, it was reversing time to call out the souls that existed in the past, allowing for a moment of genuine expression, rather than Li Hao manipulating with the painting realm.
But, with merely a wisp of soul power, Li Hao could only reverse back a few decades, if wanting to truly reverse the entire time-space, making everything flow backward, sun and moon reversing, rivers flowing backward, then at most he could reverse time by several to ten years, and this still has a range limit, the consumption is also extremely terrifying.
"With the power of the Reverse Time Realm, compared to Bitter Bridge and them, naturally it is superior, after all, using time as the core, even if it is the other shore, unbreakable, if reversing to before the realm forms, causing the mountains and rivers of the realm to reverse, the Life Sea to recede, perhaps even the Life Sea would wither..."
"But this seems not yet the strongest realm."
Li Hao thought of several senior brothers and sisters, as direct disciples, their realms must be extremely extraordinary.
However, visiting Bitter Bridge's realm in such a way is unlikely, after all, being fellow direct disciples, their identities are equivalent, the realm is the core, akin to exposing one's heart, even family can scarcely achieve this, let alone others.
"If merely understanding general methods, it should be harmless."
Li Hao pondered in his heart, after all, this can be sensed through sparring and exchanges.
Thinking of this, he immediately sent messages to Senior Brother Long Qingge and Senior Brother Lei Jingfeng.
Soon, upon learning Li Hao's thoughts, the two's avatars arrived outside Li Hao's small courtyard.
"You wish to know the methods of our realms?"
Long Qingge's eyes held the majesty of a dragon, merely looking calmly at Li Hao, yet exuded a dominating presence of overlooking, but his aura towards Li Hao was extremely gentle.
