Guarding the River of Time

Chapter 149: If You Want to Go Further You Must Stand Out—Understand?


"Young Master?!"

After listening to the third master's words, Ran Qingqing's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.

As of now, she remains the Realm Master of the East Woe Immortal Realm, or rather, she should be considered as the Vice Domain Master.

From the time of the great war until now, thirty thousand years have passed. During this period, she repeatedly challenged the third master many times, but each time she couldn't withstand even a single move from him. Gradually, it seemed she also let go of the hatred in her heart.

Over these thirty thousand years, she gradually realized that she had joined an extraordinary faction.

One must ask, what kind of terrifying means does it take to erase all traces of Zhao Gusheng's existence, making him completely vanish from the entire Great Woe Immortal Realm's ancient history.

To kill a person is simple, but more terrifying than killing a person is making everyone forget them, erasing all memories and traces of their existence—what kind of incredible means is this?

She also learned some secrets: after the world-shaking battle thirty thousand years ago, Zhao Gusheng did not die; he was rescued by a powerful senior brother behind him.

Initially, she thought Zhao Gusheng might make a comeback, return to the Great Woe Immortal Realm, reclaim his things, and rise again.

Later, she realized she was overthinking it.

The force she followed was unimaginably powerful and unfathomable.

Just like the man before her who single-handedly seized the Great Woe Immortal Realm, only ranking third in their small team.

The Domain Master of the West Wound Domain, also known as the Black Dragon, is the elder brother.

They all follow the same master.

How powerful must this master be to make such formidable beings willingly follow him?

....

"Three Venerables, I'm afraid I can't undertake this task."

Ran Qingqing politely declined.

This young master of the Three Venerables is such a powerful and mysterious existence that she feels completely unqualified for this task.

Moreover, she doesn't know how to approach this young master.

.....

The "Three Venerables" she referred to is none other than the third master, and the "Great Venerable" is the elder brother.

Following for thirty thousand years, she realized that the Great Venerable and Three Venerables' means were far superior to Zhao Gusheng's.

Firstly, they divided the Great Woe Immortal Realm into East Shang and West Shang. The Great Venerable controls East Shang, and the Three Venerables control West Shang. The outside world believes that the Domain Masters of East Shang and West Shang are adversaries, but in reality, they are part of the same family.

Over these thirty thousand years, a contest-like situation formed between East Shang and West Shang. The prodigies of the two continents compete and compare.

Moreover, this contest would not spiral out of control; under the control of the Great Venerable and Three Venerables, this contest is a positive one, stimulating the entire Great Woe Immortal Realm's development.

In just these short thirty thousand years, the Great Woe Immortal Realm has produced countless talents and prodigies, developing at an incomparable pace—thirty thousand years of development is equivalent to three hundred thousand years before.

This alone shows that the change of master in the Great Woe Immortal Realm is not its calamity but rather its opportunity and fortune.

Moreover, she found out that alongside the Great Venerable and Three Venerables, there are others like Second Venerable, Fourth Venerable, and Fifth Venerable. Though she hasn't met them, they must undoubtedly be extremely powerful.

Not to mention, behind them is an unimaginably powerful master.

So, when the Three Venerables mentioned leading the Great Woe Immortal Realm to a higher world, it was not baseless talk but is being realized, progressing rapidly!

The most terrifying thing is... over the thirty thousand years she followed, she also understood some truths.

The forces of the Great Venerable, Three Venerables, are not limited to just the Great Woe Immortal Realm. Before seizing the Great Woe Immortal Realm, they had already captured dozens, even hundreds of Immortal Realms!

The cultivators who once invaded the Great Woe Immortal Realm were cultivators from other Immortal Realms.

This is just like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger; one doesn't know how extensive it will grow in the future.

Although Ran Qingqing is also a proud person, her pride lies in the cultivation of the Great Dao and dignity. Yet, following the master behind the Great Venerable, she will encounter higher cultivation paths, a further cultivation journey, which is also her fortune.

.....

"The young master's mind is simple, easy to deal with."

"Don't stress; just accompany her, make her happy. It's not that complicated."

Seeing Ran Qingqing's heavy face, as if approaching a formidable foe, the third master explained.

Ran Qingqing caught the phrases—"accompany her?" "simple-minded?"

"The young master is a young master, not the great master. If it were the great master, this task wouldn't fall to you." The third master noticed the concern in Ran Qingqing's heart.

.....

"Is the young master... a child?"

Ran Qingqing asked.

"Sort of, but not really."

Because the young master has always lived on the River of Time, the time there is different from the time here. If you consider age, the young master is much older than Ran Qingqing.

Living on the River of Time means being outside "time," and cannot be described with the lower-tier term "age."

"This is your opportunity. If you accompany well, you can stand out in the future."

"You must understand, under the master's command, there is no shortage of people like you. To reach further, you must engage with these core matters."

The third master spoke truthfully.

Although Ran Qingqing was once the Great Woe Immortal Realm's Realm Master, with outstanding looks, talent, and strength.

But one must know that among the other Immortal Realms they had already governed were many female Realm Masters, even Domain Masters. In terms of talent and beauty, they were no less than Ran Qingqing, but they found it difficult to access the young master and the master.

Moreover, similar to people like Ran Qingqing, they will not be scarce in the future. In the future, when the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm or other higher-level Upper-Rank Immortal Realms, even future Divine Domains are conquered, similar to Ran Qingqing, even better than her, will be taken in.

But... to enter a core position, one must stand out.

So, for Ran Qingqing, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Actually, Ran Qingqing herself understands this.

In the future, to gain a higher status, to reach a core position, to go further, one must engage in such matters, and this is also her opportunity.

"Then I'll give it a try."

Ran Qingqing was also determined, nodded, and said.

....

"Go ahead."

"The young master is right there."

With that, the third master extended his right hand, pointing towards a certain place within the Ancient Forest before them.

...

"Sister, hiding over there, come out."

Sitting on the swing, Nannan fixed her gaze on the butterfly perched on her hand and slowly spoke.

The next moment, a woman dressed in green, with stunning looks, gracefully stepped out from behind an ancient tree. She looked towards Little Nannan on the swing, her beautiful eyes sparkling with intrigue.
