The words of the Emperor of Non-Beginning echoed in Ye Fan's ears and also reverberated in the space here, stirring the immortal clouds on the mountaintop.

The "he" mentioned by the Emperor of Non-Beginning, Ye Fan certainly knew who it referred to, and he had been waiting here for the Emperor of Non-Beginning for so many years, waiting for him to return from some world, just for "him".

The legends about "him," the traces of "him," the stories of "him," one could say they ran through Ye Fan's entire life.

Ever since he traversed to this world, the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin he rode was intricately connected with "him," as were the history of the Beidou Star Realm, its past, future, its ancient history, the cultivation system, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, and so on, all were related to "him."

One could say, Ye Fan waiting for the Emperor of Non-Beginning to come today, to go and rescue "him," was also destiny's drive and the result of cause and effect.

.....

"Senior, have you found the world where he is located?"

Ye Fan asked the Emperor of Non-Beginning.

After the words fell, the Emperor of Non-Beginning gazed at the void above, continued to stare for a long time, and then said slowly, "Found it, but not entirely found."

"What do you mean?" Ye Fan was somewhat at a loss to understand the meaning of these words.

Because "he" was fighting in a certain "Upper Realm," in a certain "space," fighting alone, to help him, they must first find out where the "battlefield" actually was.....

The All Heavens and Myriad Realms are so enormous, some "Upper Realms" hide among countless worlds, like a drop in the ocean, if there is no certain information, searching aimlessly would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Because I only found the space, but not the specific timeline..." the Emperor of Non-Beginning said quietly.

Hearing these words, Ye Fan frowned deeply, roughly understanding something, and asked, "Senior, do you mean... the place we are going to is not on the current timeline?"

After the words fell, the Emperor of Non-Beginning retracted his gaze, looked at Ye Fan, and said seriously, "Precisely... it is in a certain time and space in the past."

Upon hearing this answer, Ye Fan also suddenly realized.

He suddenly understood why the Emperor of Non-Beginning said they had to rescue him, it turned out to be rescuing his past self, the "him" who had not yet grown completely!

"Then how do we go?" Ye Fan asked.

The Emperor of Non-Beginning slowly extended a finger, pointed to the void above, and murmured, "Of course, it's to reverse the River of Time, and go to the past,"

"The River of Time...." As of now, Ye Fan certainly also knew of that River of Time that existed among the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, governing all time and space.

With his current cultivation realm, he could also set foot on the River of Time, reverse the River of Time, and travel to both the past and future.

However, he had never gone before, or rather.... he was not sure if he had already been there once....

"You don't know the River of Time?" Upon seeing Ye Fan's bewildered expression, the Emperor of Non-Beginning asked, "Have you never been?"

With their cultivation realms, the River of Time can also be trodden at will, only sometimes fearing the unnecessary entanglement with cause and effect, they do not go to the River of Time unless absolutely necessary.

"I probably haven't been." Ye Fan shook his head and said.

Why add the word "probably"....

That takes recalling those memories long sealed, a long, long time ago, while he was traveling in Mount Tai, he rode the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin and arrived at this time.

During the process of riding the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin, he passed through a special place.

It was a river, and on that river..... he encountered a mysterious and powerful man.

Because he had just traversed, young and arrogant, he inadvertently owed a large sum of money, called a "Time Travel Loan."

Later, after arriving in this world, he fell into a coma, and after waking up, he once thought it must have been a dream.

Then later, step by step, Ye Fan cultivated, rose step by step, surpassed his peers, suppressed the contemporaries, and began to slowly mature, becoming more stable, leaving a series of legends, and now becoming the revered Celestial Emperor Ye.

Slowly, he came into contact with some of the truths at the top of the world, one of which was the River of Time.

According to legend, this River of Time exists in the shadows, it is a river of rules, it does not exist in any place in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, it is the supreme river transcending all All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

After learning about this River of Time, several times Ye Fan wondered if the river he passed during his traverse was the River of Time, whether that experience was just a dream?

"Senior, have you been to the River of Time?" Ye Fan inquired.

The Emperor of Non-Beginning nodded, his face revealing a look of reminiscence, murmuring, "Of course, but it has been too long ago."

The Emperor of Non-Beginning had never tasted true failure in his life; he has always faced cause and effect head-on, despising the idea of walking the River of Time to alter his cause and effect.

Because in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, there exists a group of people, powerful enough to tread the River of Time, having the ability to reverse the River of Time and return to the past, they've explored a new cultivation method, which can also be called "altering destiny" or "altering cause and effect."

They reverse the River of Time to go to the past, to help their past selves, alter destiny, avoid calamities, avert dangers, thereby making their future selves stronger.

One could say this method is very much like cheating.

Some more daring powerful emperors directly went back to the past, resolved all the enemies their past selves faced, gifting them opportunities, directly disrupting the normal course of cause and effect of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Of course, this method also has risks because as you can go back to the past, others can also go back to the past, or even ambush you.

However, in this world, the boldest are gamblers, and there is never a lack of gamblers.

In the path of cultivation, there are also incredibly bold gamblers, they only need to win once, go back to the past, alter destiny and cause and effect, and as long as they succeed once, it would be a qualitative transformation!

.....

"Is the River of Time an ownerless thing?"

Ye Fan asked the question he cared about the most.

Upon hearing this question, the Emperor of Non-Beginning was taken aback, looked at Ye Fan strangely, and said, "Of course."

"The River of Time is the highest river of supreme truth, formed by supreme rules, no one can control it, nor is it possible for anyone to control it."

"If someone were to control it.... wouldn't that mean controlling the entire All Heavens and Myriad Realms?"

There was nothing wrong with what the Emperor of Non-Beginning said.

To control the River of Time is equivalent to controlling the All Heavens and Myriad Realms in the true sense, in the time it takes to think, with a wave of the hand, one could decide the lives and deaths of countless worlds, with a raise of the hand, one could sever the past and future of a world, rendering everything void, everything meaningless, an absolute crushing blow.

"Is there a saying of a River Guardian?"

"I mean guarding the River of Time."

Ye Fan changed his questioning method and continued to ask.
