"Everything is ready. Over the years, I have come across some particularly valuable treasures; I've kept them all for this day, to cross the River of Time as the toll."

"Me too, the treasures are all prepared."

"Of course, we're prepared."

The Three Emperors replied.

"Now fifty thousand years have passed, I wonder if that senior is still in the River of Time...."

For some reason, the Bone Emperor suddenly anticipated meeting that senior again.

...

"Have you all settled your affairs?" the Bone Emperor asked the other three.

Because not only did he establish the Dao Celestial Divine Sect, the other Three Emperors also established sects.

These are the Dark Inference Demon Hall, South Burning Divine Sect, and Huanxu Divine Sect.

The four sects they founded now stand at the pinnacle of this continent's hierarchy.

All were founded by them ten thousand years ago and within just ten thousand years, these four sects have become the four Great Holy Lands and top Divine Sects on this land.

The purpose of founding these sects was to help the sects search for the Wood of Time. Although they are very powerful, sometimes the Wood of Time cannot be found with strength alone; it requires luck.

The more people searching, the greater the chance.

It's just like this piece of Wood of Time was picked up by an ordinary outer sect servant disciple in Dark Inference Demon Hall from a regular graveyard, handed over to the sect, and eventually ended up in the hands of the Four Emperors.

Sometimes it's like this, without that fortune, you'll never find it.

"My South Burning Divine Sect has been instructed properly before coming here."

The Southern Emperor answered.

"Huanxu Divine Sect has been instructed as well, and I've left a bit of fortune behind," Emperor Huan slowly said.

....

"I gave a part of the inheritance to the outer sect servant disciple who helped us find the Wood of Time."

"However, he is quite talented, possessing the rare Asura Demon Body, a natural-born son of demon cultivation. With my inheritance, his future achievements won't be low, and there's a high probability he will ascend and leave this world."

The Dark Emperor spoke slowly and clearly.

"It's normal. If he didn't have such talent, he wouldn't have found the Wood of Time."

"Great talent often accompanies great fortune."

Emperor Huan slowly said.

"What's the name of that outer disciple?"

Hearing this, the Bone Emperor also became interested because if it weren't for this outer disciple, who knows when the Wood of Time would have been found.

"Su Ming," the Dark Emperor replied.

This was the only name in the Dark Inference Demon Hall that made an impression on him.

"Su Ming...."

The Three Emperors also noted this name.

.....

"That's not like you, actually leaving your inheritance to him."

The Bone Emperor laughed.

"His personality is somewhat solitary; although young, his state of mind is extraordinary."

"Calm, ruthless, composed, clear... these are all qualities I greatly admire."

"I let him choose whether to take the treasures we Four give him or to choose my inheritance."

"Because if he wants my part of the inheritance, he must endure immense worldly sorrow and suffering, endlessly tempering himself, with a high probability of dying, and must rebirth from the flames of desire step by step to succeed."

"He surprised and pleased me by choosing the latter without any hesitation."

Hearing these words from the Dark Emperor.

The other three were also surprised, as they rarely heard the Dark Emperor admire someone so much and give such high praise.

.....

"To be honest, I left a small piece of Wood of Time and gave it to him," the Dark Emperor said.

Upon hearing this, the three appeared astonished.

The Bone Emperor laughed and said, "You don't think he will one day step foot in the River of Time, do you?"

"His starting point is too low."

....

"But what if?"

"Although he is just starting out in cultivation with a very low starting point, what if he does have that day?"

"Just like... we've been looking for the Wood of Time for tens of thousands of years, but an ordinary mortal picked it up. Who could have predicted this?"

The Dark Emperor's words stunned the Three Emperors momentarily, and they smiled.

.....

"Alright, since everything has been roughly settled."

"It's time for us to leave."

The Bone Emperor stood up and addressed the other Three Emperors.

The next second, the Three Emperors stood up, nodded, with a slight hint of Immortal Light in their gaze.

Fifty thousand years later, to tread the River of Time again, their mood was both nervous and excited.

....

"Well... let's go!"

Saying this, the Four Emperors soared into the sky, the powerful Immortal Radiance burst instantly, causing a crack to appear in the ground thousands of kilometers around.

At this moment, Li Changtan and Ye Qingran, who had already traveled thousands of kilometers away, also stopped, turned, and looked up at the void on the horizon.

Although they cannot follow, cannot get close, they can bid farewell from afar as they see the ancestors off.

...

In the sky, several powerful figures stood tall, like Dharma Aspects of Heaven and Earth, reflected in the dark clouds, powerful and mysterious.

No one knows that these four supreme beings, who rule this continent, are about to cross the River of Time and leave this world.

Nor will anyone know that the most glorious and powerful Divine Sects on this continent were created by these four figures.

And all of this was just because of a man above the River of Time, whose wave of hand changed the fate of the four mighty beings and reshaped the world's structure.

This also proves a saying.

A leaf in history, on an ordinary person, is a mountain impossible to withstand.

A wave on the River of Time could signify glory or the downfall of a world.

.....

The Four Emperors bowed their heads, taking one last look at the world that imprisoned them for a full fifty thousand years, perhaps feeling a fleeting moment of nostalgia.

They withdrew their gaze, looked up into the void.

The next second, they transformed into streaming light, disappearing into the void, heading towards the legendary River of Time, the River of Time they waited fifty thousand years for!

...

At this moment, in another spacetime.

On the banks of the River of Time, stood a tall, slender youth.

Wearing a green and white Immortal Robe, with a powerful aura, he stood quietly, as if a banished immortal.

Holding a bamboo pole, he focused on the homemade float on the river's surface.

Perhaps tired of standing, the youth moved a large stone, sat cross-legged on it, and continued to stare unwaveringly at the float on the river, not daring to take his eyes off it for a moment.

As an experienced angler, he knew very well that many fish seemed to have God's perspective, striking the float just as you light up a cigarette, or during other small distractions; as soon as your gaze leaves the float, it vanishes!

Today's goal was to catch a Treasure Fish!

After a while of staring, Su Mu closed his eyes and yawned.

His gaze only strayed for a second.

The float on the river disappeared in an instant!

Holy crap!

Su Mu's temples pulsed, and with a strong pull, his face turned red from exertion.

"Damn, what have I caught?"

"Why is it so heavy?"
