This sentence was very light, very soft, but it clearly reached both of their ears, and reverberated in their minds.

A simple sentence, yet it pointed out a keyword—"his river"!

Why say that these two were causing havoc on this man's river?

The River of Time, wasn't it always something without an owner?

No one ever thought, nor would anyone consider the ownership of the River of Time, because the River of Time is a conceptual divine river of rules, it transcends all world rules, and no one could possibly control it, neither in the past nor in the distant future would such a person appear.

It's like this: The River of Time creates creatures bound by rules, but it's impossible for a creature to transcend the rules and control it instead.

Although in the Ten Thousand Realms, there are countless powerful beings defying the heavens, proclaiming to transcend all rules and tower above them, but that's only concerning the rules of their own worlds; they still lie within the "greatest rule" and are still subject to the constraints of the River of Time.

And that "greatest rule" is this River of Time, it is the "limit of time," the "pinnacle of rules," the "end of truth."

All things in the world, whether living or non-living, have lifespans, and what determines lifespan is "time."

All things are constrained by "time," even the Heavenly Dao has a lifespan and will be devoured by time.

Time gives everything the meaning of existence, so "time" is called the pinnacle of rules, the pinnacle of truth, and no creature will ever grasp this "pinnacle of rules."

.....

Because once someone grasps the River of Time, transcending the highest rule, then All Heavens and Myriad Realms, all worlds, everything meaningful and meaningless will be controlled by someone.

This is a very terrifying thing because what he controls in the blink of an eye is not someone's life and death, but the life and death of a world.

If he wanted to, he could even let everything return to nothingness.

So, Yang Kai and the white-haired man are now so terrified, feeling unreal, as if dreaming.

Facing this man's question, they even lost the ability to think and didn't respond for a long time.

.....

Seeing the two of them frozen, Su Mu felt a kind of beauty in their brainstem absence, slightly furrowed his brow, and increased the heaviness of his tone: "I don't want to ask a third time."

These words just came out, Yang Kai was the first to react, respectfully cupped his fists toward Su Mu and said, "Replying to this senior, the junior's name is Yang Kai, from Central Capital."

After the words fell, the formerly arrogant and unrestrained white-haired man also bowed and cupped his fists, "Junior, single name Mo, from Mo Domain."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu asked again, "Why were you fighting here?"

Su Mu had been guarding the river here for so long; it was the first time he saw someone fighting here.

As the River Guardian, how could he allow such disorder, disrupting the security of the river course, so he had to intervene and severely punish it!

Before the white-haired man could answer, Yang Kai took the lead and replied, "Replying to the senior, he pressured me with force, hindered my cultivation, snatched my things, and agreed to a duel here."

With these words, the white-haired man's body stiffened, his heart chilled.

Oh, Yang Kai, you're speaking your final words, aren't you!

But still, what Yang Kai said was true, he couldn't argue with it, and didn't dare to argue.

But he couldn't let Yang Kai get all the good words out either, since he also went through great efforts, sparing no expense, to use the Path of Time to hinder Yang Kai's development, all for dealing with this future enemy who would threaten his life.

Luring him onto the River of Time, preparing to kill him in one fell swoop; the plan was originally perfect and infallible.

But even if he were to plan again, he still couldn't believe that the River of Time had an owner!

This is the River of Time, not an ordinary river!

The white-haired man held it back for a while before he responded: "This senior, I thought he would affect me in the future, so I initiated a challenge."

Hearing the two's words, Su Mu also had an answer in his heart.

This white-haired kid, he's a bit funny when he talks.

It's like, if I'm walking down the street and see an outstanding young man, I'm afraid he'll affect me in the future, so I challenge him to a street duel.

Isn't that funny?

In that case, if I walk down the street and meet someone more handsome, I just walk up and punch him, for a simple reason, I'm afraid his handsomeness will threaten my future standing as a male star.

Su Mu was also amused, saying, "People are cultivating on their own, why do you disturb them?"

With these words, the white-haired man was also stunned.

He weakly replied, "He will threaten me in the future... I have to nip the sapling in the bud."

After saying this, Su Mu asked Yang Kai, "Before this, did you know him?"

Hearing this, the grievances in Yang Kai's heart were immediately released. He finally found someone to support him!

If not for his character and image not allowing, he would have cried and complained to the other.

Family, who understands!

He planned from the future to mess with me, and my current self is so weak, only to be beaten unilaterally, the grievances known only to him.

...

"Don't know."

Yang Kai was truly speaking the truth; he indeed didn't know this white-haired man before him, as this is his future enemy, how could he have known him.

Upon hearing this, Su Mu looked at the white-haired man, his gaze questioning him.

Under that gaze, the white-haired man felt his heart go cold, his soul trembled, though he had some grievances, he wasn't justified.

"The him now indeed doesn't know, but in the future, he will," the white-haired man said.

Su Mu was also momentarily stunned, then smiled speechlessly.

The grievances from this conflict, Su Mu already understood, had it occurred elsewhere, Su Mu wouldn't have dwelled so much on it.

But causing trouble here, Su Mu of course needed to understand clearly, as this determined the severity of their punishment.

Su Mu was a person of reason, those who started trouble should be heavily punished, those forced into it should have a lighter punishment.

"What did he take from you?"

Su Mu asked Yang Kai.

Upon hearing this, Yang Kai pointed to the World Subtree in the white-haired man's hand and said, "It's this."

Seeing this, Su Mu was somewhat speechless, just this puny sapling?

On my riverbank here, you could grab a handful of these.

....

Su Mu looked at the white-haired man, and before he could speak, the white-haired man hurriedly offered it back to Yang Kai with both hands.

Upon receiving the World Subtree back, the grievances in Yang Kai's heart were finally released; so, this is what it feels like when someone supports you.

Alright, the grievances were resolved, it was time to levy a fine for causing trouble.

For such things, the chicken must be slain to warn the monkeys, fines must be levied, otherwise, every Tom, Dick, and Harry would come to my river to make trouble, and could I still serve as the River Guardian?

"Alright, senior, the matters have been resolved, so I'll take my leave first."

Having said that, the white-haired man took a small boat, intending to leave.

"Did I damn say you could leave?"

Seeing someone wanting to leave after causing trouble, Su Mu was amused, directly replying with a resounding, beautiful hometown dialect.
