Guarding the River of Time

Chapter 172: He Died 10000 Years Ago—Sun Golden Crow!


Upon hearing this, Su Mu also revealed a look of confusion.

Nannan tightly held the bird egg with both her little hands, then placed it beside her ear. After carefully feeling it for a moment,

she suddenly realized and nodded, saying, "Daddy, I understand now... this little guy might not be able to be born."

After saying this, Little Nannan also showed a sad and distressed expression.

Su Mu took the bird egg, held it in his palm, and sent a gentle stream of Spiritual Power inside the eggshell. After carefully exploring it,

he didn't find any issues. The life force of this bird egg was very vigorous; there was no reason it could not hatch.

However, Little Nannan had no reason to deceive him, so he immediately asked, "How do you know... that it can't be born?"

Upon hearing this, Little Nannan was also startled for a moment, shook her head, and said, "Daddy, I heard it, I heard its voice, it seems to be asking me for help."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu's pupils narrowed slightly, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Although Nannan was young, she never lied or said anything she wasn't sure about. From the way she translated the Stone Book, it was clear that Little Nannan did everything meticulously.

Moreover, Su Mu gradually discovered the special abilities continuously exhibited by Nannan, so... this bird egg really seems incapable of hatching?

"Daddy, why don't we save it? It's so pitiful..."

Nannan looked at the bird egg with a sad expression.

...

The reason Su Mu couldn't figure it out was because... although this bird egg seemed vibrant on the surface, it had already perished in the past.

The life force it possessed was merely an illusion.

....

The Sun Golden Crow, the chief among the ten Great Golden Crows of the Ancient Divine Realm.

Legend has it... the ancestor of the Sun Golden Crow was the sun in the Ancient Divine Realm, a kind of "Natural Law" in the Divine Realm.

Later, during a great extinction, the "Sun Law" developed intelligence, began Cultivation, and cultivated into a beast form.

One day, the sun transformed into a Golden Crow, flew down from the sky, plunging the Ancient Divine Realm into an era-long eternal night, until a new sun was born, freeing the Ancient Divine Realm from the eternal night, restoring light.

"Divine Fire Red Feathers, with a flap of its wings, can engulf All Heavens and Myriad Realms." This phrase describes the Sun Golden Crow!

The small life within this bird egg is the legendary Sun Golden Crow.

The Golden Crow Race of the Taiqing Divine Realm stands among the top ranks in the Taiqing Divine Realm.

However, the bloodline of today's Sun Golden Crows is not as pure as their ancestors. Over countless trials across ages, the Sun Golden Crows remaining in the world today have a bloodline only a tenth of their ancestors'.

Yet even just a tenth secures the Sun Golden Crow's position as the leader of the ten Great Golden Crows, standing atop the pyramid in the Taiqing Divine Realm, showcasing... the immense strength of the Sun Golden Crow of old.

The bird egg in Su Mu's hand is the Saint Son of the Golden Crow Race in the Taiqing Divine Realm, the most pure and gifted Saint Son in history.

After a test by the Golden Crow Race, the bloodline power surpassed all previous clan leaders, reaching a purity of one-fifth of the ancestor!

Later, the news of the Golden Crow Race giving birth to the strongest Saint Son accidentally leaked. Upon knowing this, those top clans and major powers in the Taiqing Divine Realm feared that the Golden Crow Race might threaten their status in the future.

Thus, they cooperated to hunt down the Golden Crow Saint Son, even issuing a Divine Realm kill order.

The Golden Crow Race delayed the Saint Son's birth to protect him because once the Saint Son was born, he might not survive past that day.

So, after a clan meeting decision, they spread the news of the Saint Son's demise.

Then the clan leader and the nine elders joined forces to take the unborn Saint Son onto the River of Time.

Perhaps Tianyou aided the Golden Crow Race, for upon reaching the River of Time's shore, they discovered the body of the Taiqing Divine Realm's "Divine Whisper Tree"!

They then hid the Saint Son on the body of the "Divine Whisper Tree," where he remained for thousands of years.

Later, the Celestial Secret Race of the Taiqing Divine Realm calculated the Celestial Mandate and discovered that the Golden Crow Race's Saint Son was still alive and hidden on the River of Time. Moreover, the Golden Crow Race had found the body of the "Divine Whisper Tree"!

This calculation greatly shocked the entire Taiqing Divine Realm.

The top clans of the Taiqing Divine Realm, in order to hunt down the Golden Crow Saint Son and find the body of the "Divine Whisper Tree" to bring back to the Divine Realm for themselves,

sent capable fighters to the shore of the River of Time for thousands of years to hunt the Golden Crow Saint Son and search for the body of the "Divine Whisper Tree".

But upon reaching the shore of the River of Time, they would be suppressed by the Supreme Time Law, turning into small animals such as mice, wild cats, squirrels, etc.

The Golden Crow Race, being inherently Golden Crows, had a significant advantage when reaching the River of Time, using their ability to fly to evade capture repeatedly.

The clan leader and the nine elders of the Golden Crow Race hid on the shore of the River of Time for over ten thousand years.

This is why the clan leader said they staked the lives of the entire clan for the Saint Son's future.

Because only their race could cut down the body of the "Divine Whisper Tree." After chopping it down, the "Divine Whisper Tree" in the Taiqing Divine Realm would disappear, so would those in pursuit of them deduce the truth.

Therefore, after gifting the body of the "Divine Whisper Tree" to Su Mu, the clansmen remaining in the Divine Realm would surely be slaughtered.

They gambled the destiny of the entire race for the future of the Saint Son!

Not just the future of the Saint Son, but also the future of their Golden Crow Race, for their place in the Taiqing Divine Realm had become precarious, and extinction was only a matter of time.

...

Unfortunately, they planned for everything, except for overlooking the most crucial step.

The unborn Saint Son was too weak to withstand the Power of Law of the River of Time and had already died the moment they stepped onto the River of Time.

But due to the unique laws of the River of Time, it preserved the life force on it, though all of it was a deceptive vitality.

Actually... it had died ten thousand years ago, with life frozen ten thousand years ago.

Thus, the clan leader and the nine elders believed they had safely sent out their Saint Son without realizing... what they had sent out was a corpse.

But perhaps Tianyou truly favored their race because only Su Mu, who guarded the River of Time, had the ability to revive it.

This could also be considered a form of karma, for Heaven did not wish the Golden Crow Race to go extinct, thus granting them a slim chance for survival, their only slim chance.

....

Just then, a light rain began to fall.

But this kind of slight rain usually only lasts a minute or two and falls very lightly.

When a drop of rain landed on the eggshell.

A bizarre scene occurred!
