Chapter 1503 – Backtracking to the Fishing Village
”Then what should I do?”
Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father took out a cloth bag from his sleeve and solemnly placed it into Wang Mian’s arms, “What I say next, you and listen well ……”
Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father’s voice echoed within the hall, and after Wang Mian heard it, he froze for a long time.
”Like this, is it really feasible?”
Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father nodded, “Going back to the past more than a year ago is already enough to consume a large portion of your lifespan, if you don’t minimize the effects of the power of karma in this way, you’re afraid that your lifespan will simply run out and you’ll never be able to come back.”
Wang Mian looked at the cloth bag in his hand and pondered for a moment, “I understand.”
”Go.”
Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father stood in front of the Dan Furnace and waved his hand at Wang Mian.
Wang Mian clutched the cloth bag between his palms, took a deep breath, and the time circle in his eyes quickly spun up in reverse, as the laws of time stirred within the great hall!
The space-time around Wang Mian distorted rapidly, a crack spread behind him, before this, he had only backtracked a day at most, and now with the Laws of Time, it was only now that a long period of time reversal became possible.
A silver-white hair fell from his head, the wrinkles on Wang Mian’s face became denser and denser, he felt the longevity in his body frantically drain away, but he didn’t feel the slightest bit of heartache, instead, the pair of cloudy eyes revealed unprecedented anticipation!
As the distortion of space-time became more and more intense, the time crack violently broke open, engulfing Wang Mian’s figure in it!
After Wang Mian disappeared, time in the entire hall returned to normal, and in the silence, only the flames of the Dan Furnace crackled.
The river of time retreated rapidly under Wang Mian’s feet, making his figure a little unsteady.
He flicked his fingertips downwards, and a lone canoe was outlined from nothingness, carrying his figure and flowing backwards along the long river of time, as the timeline of the past flowed and faded in his eyes.
Wang Mian sat on top of the lone boat, coughing violently, his eyes staring intently at the upper reaches of the long river of time, as if he was searching for something.
Finally, his eyes lit up, and his figure drove the lone boat towards a certain section of the Long River of Time, and a time crack blossomed in front of the boat, and his figure disappeared into it.
The long river of time receded behind Wang Mian, and at this moment, he was already above a silent sea, a hazy mist shrouded the surroundings, and in the distance, the misty enclosure of the border of the Great Xia loomed in the distance.
Joy surfaced on Wang Mian’s face.
He had succeeded.
With the help of the laws of time, he had directly returned to the history of more than a year ago, and at this point in time, the [Mask] squad was still trapped in the time loop of the fishing village, and neither the Night Watch nor the Great Xia Gods had yet noticed this place.
”Cough cough cough cough ……”
The current Wang Mian was much older than before, as if he was an old man who was about to go into the ground, and with just two light coughs, it was as if he was about to cough his lungs out.
Wang Mian sensed his physical condition, this backtracking for more than a year had directly consumed at least six years of his lifespan, if it wasn’t for the fact that Queen Mother of the West had given him a peach to eat before he came, I’m afraid that his remaining lifespan wouldn’t be enough to go back to the future timeline, not to mention rescuing the [False Mask].
A mass of blood mist exploded on Wang Mian’s body, and returned to his body under the backtracking of time, Wang Mian topped off the body of the False Mask and sailed a little bit into the territory of Daxia, and soon saw the familiar coastline.
As his body broke into the range of the fishing village, Wang Mian clearly perceived the temporal and spatial shifts, and he knew that he had entered the time loop.
Boom–!
A shocking explosion exploded from the bottom of the sea, and a dazzling time circle started from the surface of the sea and spread rapidly in all directions!
Wang Mian drove a lone boat, calmly drifting on the surface of the sea, not only did he not avoid it, but instead, he sailed towards that circle, and as that silver circle violently crossed his body, the time around him rapidly shifted, directly ignoring the circle and continuing forward.
At the edge of the coast, a shout resounded:
”Whirlpool! What are you doing!!!”
”Captain …… it seems that this time, we are really going to be planted here …… Our [Mask] squad, we always have to leave a lone seedling, right?”
”But ……”
”There’s no buts, captain, you’re the man who will become the God of Time in the future, how can you die here? And ah, aren’t you able to travel through time? If you really escape from here, just travel back later to save us.
Captain, remember, as long as you don’t die, our [Mask] squad won’t die!”
”……”
”Run! Captain! Run …… As long as you can outrun the river of time, one day, we will all come back behind you!!!”
”……”
Hearing these familiar words, Wang Mian’s body shook violently as he stared blankly at the edge of the coastline, two lines of muddy tears slipping from the corners of his eyes ……
A time light flashed from the coastline, and in the past, Wang Mian stepped into the human ceiling, ran out of time, and left this fishing village cycle, and almost at the same time, a silver circle swept across the earth, and the originally noisy coastline, instantly fell silent.
Wang Mian’s hands trembled slightly, and the lone boat underneath him paddled through the waves and slowly docked at the shore.
His hunched body stood up from the boat with difficulty, supporting his body with the [Eagle Kite], and walked over to that brand new piece of earth, at this moment by the coastline, there were no more figures, not even a single corpse was left behind.
The cold sea breeze brushed the silver-white hair of King Face, and that lonely gray cloak, swaying silently in the wind.
”Whirlpool, moon ghost, sandalwood, star traces, rose, balance ……” King Face’s pale voice rasped hoarsely beside the shoreline, and a pair of tears filled eyes, a pair of heads and tails connected to the circle of time slowly flowed.
”I …… ran and won …….”
He took out the cloth bag from his bosom, and his low voice echoed between heaven and earth:
”The soul returns–”
As the words fell, several blurred soul shadows flowed backwards out of the long river of time, and they surrounded Wang Mian as if they were cheering, as if they were shocked.
They were sucked into the cloth bag under the pull of the mysterious power, Wang Mian gently tied up the mouth of the cloth bag, and with his other hand, he took out the [Eagle Kite] from his bosom, and stabbed it hard at the earth under his feet, and a deep gully appeared on the ground all of a sudden.
Wang Mian buried this cloth bag into the ground, while saying softly, “Sorry, I can’t bring you guys to travel through time directly, I’ll first entrust you to stay here for a year, in the future, I’ll bring you back with my own hands ……”
Burying this cloth bag, Wang Mian rehung the [Eagle Kite] back to his waist, the laws of time swung up again, and the next moment his figure disappeared without a trace ……
More than a year later.
An old man with a gray cloak reentered this land.
He coughed as he plowed away the soil here, and as the soil layer gradually went down, a familiar cloth bag appeared in his vision.
At the corners of the old man’s mouth, a smile finally surfaced.
He trembled as he took this cloth bag out of the ground, and those cloudy eyes reflected a crystalline shimmer in the sunlight as he softly said:
”Welcome …… home.”
