"Gang Leader, is this really the River of Time?"

A ragged man in tattered gray clothes standing behind the man in a black robe spoke, revealing a conspicuous set of yellowish teeth.

"Of course, it's your first time here, feeling strange is perfectly normal."

The man in the black robe had his hands behind his back, walking on the River of Time as if strolling through a garden, leisurely and at ease.

Etched on the back of the black robe were three gilded characters—"Heaven-Bombing Gang," the writing was casual yet grand, those three simple characters exuded an air of boldness and dominance, full of swagger.

Meanwhile, Duan Jiude with his set of old yellow teeth walked cautiously, treading lightly with each step, afraid of falling into the water if he wasn't careful.

"Gang Leader, what material are these shoes you gave me made of, that they can resist the corrosion of the Water of Time?"

At that moment, Duan Jiude was like Wang Yousheng in 'Bright Sword,' wearing new shoes, grinning from ear to ear.

"Only for you, anyone else, I wouldn't even take them out."

"These shoes are made from the Wood of Time, even for me, it took a lot of effort to find a piece."

Xu Que murmured.

Hearing that even the Gang Leader expended great effort, Duan Jiude suddenly felt the shoes on his feet grow a bit heavier.

What kind of person is the Gang Leader? Treasures fought over by countless people, even if thrown on the ground, the Gang Leader wouldn't stoop to pick them up, because with the time spent bending over, he could already have acquired several better treasures.

"Gang Leader, are your shoes also made from the Wood of Time?"

Duan Jiude looked at the cloth shoes on Xu Que's legs, they didn't quite seem that way.

"No, they're just regular cloth shoes, they're comfortable to wear."

"Why, you like them?"

Saying that, Xu Que took off his shoes and handed them to Duan Jiude.

This action by Xu Que brought Duan Jiude a bit of shock.

The Gang Leader is still the Gang Leader, the Heaven-Bombing Gang's leader who can never be predicted, an invincible man, walking barefoot on the Water of Time. Who else in the world can do that?

Before coming here, Duan Jiude had inquired about some secrets of this River of Time.

This River of Time governs all time across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, a Supreme conceptual divine river. The Water of Time also possesses a powerful devouring ability, and only by using a medium like the Wood of Time can one walk upon the River of Time.

Yet, the Gang Leader walks directly on the river without using any medium, how impressive! Gang Leader!

"Gang Leader, I want to learn."

Duan Jiude said with a sly smile.

"You want to learn, huh?"

"I'll teach you."

"First step, break through to my realm, then I'll teach you the second step, and finally the third step."

Hearing this, Duan Jiude immediately expressed that he couldn't learn even a bit!

Reaching the Gang Leader's realm is just the first step?

Then there's a second step and a third step?

Can this even be learned?

Not even a little bit!

Looking at this ordinary small river, Duan Jiude couldn't believe it, this is the legendary River of Time?!

In his imagination, shouldn't the River of Time be vast and boundless, with endless Immortal Charm and overwhelming majesty?

Why does it seem narrower than the small creek outside his cave dwelling?

"Gang Leader, why does the River of Time look like this?"

Curiously, Duan Jiude finally couldn't help but ask.

"What?"

"Did you think the River of Time is like an ocean, vast and boundless?"

Xu Que glanced at him as if to say, look how inexperienced you are.

Upon hearing this, Duan Jiude nodded, wasn't the River of Time supposed to be like that?

"Young man."

"You're too young."

"Returning to the Essence, the Great Dao is simple; truly Supreme things appear unremarkable."

Xu Que said earnestly, with his hands behind his back.

Do you know what swagger is?

Every word from Xu Que was full of swagger.

Hearing this, Duan Jiude was stunned and suddenly realized, as expected, the Gang Leader sees things from a different perspective than us ordinary folks.

Returning to the Essence, the Great Dao is simple!

Great!

After the Gang Leader's explanation, Duan Jiude suddenly felt that this seemingly ordinary small river became majestic and lofty.

Not to mention others, just comparing himself, people think he's a beggar when he walks on the street, yet he's an Elder of the Heaven-Bombing Gang, the Gang Leader's right-hand man, a figure of immense status!

Yes, exactly, how is that not a form of the Great Dao in simplicity?

From now on, these rags won't come off; they aid in cultivation!

Just a word from the Gang Leader provided immense benefit, it seems being near the Gang Leader is truly a great fortune.

.....

"Don't be deceived by this river's small size; the worlds it contains are beyond your imagination."

Saying this, Xu Que stopped, waved his large hand, controlling three drops of water to leave the water's surface.

"Do you see it?"

"I see it, the Gang Leader controlled three drops of water!" Duan Jiude replied.

....

Upon hearing this, Xu Que shook his head, smiling, he said, "These aren't just three drops of water."

"These are... three worlds!"

At these words, Duan Jiude's pupils shrank, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Th-three worlds?!"

The Gang Leader's statement nearly fried Duan Jiude's mind, three drops of water representing three worlds was beyond his imagination.

Xu Que furrowed his brows, waving his large hand to collect the three drops of water into his sleeve, clearly having expended some energy, he was slightly out of breath.

"Gang... Gang Leader, did you just take those three dr... no, those three worlds directly?!"

Duan Jiude was dumbfounded, this wasn't just collecting three drops of water, these were three worlds!

"Yes."

"Alas, with my power, I can at most control three drops of water, capturing three worlds, that's my current limit."

Xu Que nodded.

A seemingly modest statement, yet full of swagger!

"Gang Leader, these are three worlds!"

"So strong, so strong!"

Duan Jiude had countless flattering words, yet all turned into "so strong," only these words could convey the shock in his heart at this moment.

"Normal, normal."

Xu Que waved his hand, telling Duan Jiude not to be so startled.

"Gang Leader, if a drop of water represents a world, how many worlds are there?!"

Duan Jiude was witnessing something astounding today.

"Countless, no one has counted."

"This river contains countless worlds, varying in levels. The three worlds I just captured are rather ordinary."

"If it's a world with a powerful presence, even I can't capture a single drop."

"However, a drop doesn't always represent a world; some more powerful worlds require multiple drops or even hundreds to merge into one."

Xu Que said leisurely.

"What if I accidentally fall into the water..."

Duan Jiude looked at the water surface beneath his feet, nervously swallowing.

"If you're lucky, most of you will be consumed by time, then exiled to some world, survival rate less than one in a thousand."

"If unlucky, you'll die on the spot."

"Be careful not to fall in, or I won't be able to save you."

Xu Que advised Duan Jiude.

With these words, Duan Jiude immediately stood at attention, assuming every step with extreme caution.

At this time, Duan Jiude noticed something, pointing ahead at a figure, he said, "Gang Leader, is that... is that a person?"

Xu Que raised his head, looked ahead, squinting slightly, his expression turning playful.

Finally, some entertainment arrived!
