After nine days of running, the Eight Views Luanyu arrived at an altitude of 460,000 miles in the long river of time.
To say it is high altitude is actually not accurate.
Because for a scale as large as the river of time, the altitude of 460,000 miles is only equivalent to the height of three or four stories on the human river.
However, with this small height advantage, Li Xiang was finally able to barely see the true appearance of the universe.
The long river of time is like a tree, and there are huge "fruits" hanging on the "nearby" tributaries.
Because it is closest to the heaven, a large part of the line of sight is blocked by the heaven.
The huge boundary wall forms an arc, and the tributaries of the Time River merge into the heaven. They are attached to the surface of the boundary wall and branch out into countless tributaries. The tributaries then branch into smaller tributaries. In this way, the water of time, like capillaries, spreads throughout the entire boundary.
wall.
The water of time flows into the heaven through the "fine net", allowing time to flow at the same speed everywhere in the heaven world.
In addition to the heavenly world, there is also a tributary slightly downstream of the Long River of Time. This tributary is very strange, its entire body is like ink, like a black ribbon.
"That is the tributary of the Nine Provinces Netherworld," the Jade Emperor pointed to the starting point of the tributary and prompted, "Look there."
Li Xiang looked intently and saw that at the starting point of the tributary, black mist was lingering. In the black mist, a human figure could be vaguely seen, standing at the starting point of the tributary, wearing a crown on his head and a sword on his waist, as motionless as a mountain.
"Then he must be the son of Yin Tianzi."
Li Xiang murmured to himself.
The Jade Emperor nodded, "Yin Tianzi sits at the entrance of the Netherworld Branch, and uses his own divine power and luck to pour the water of time, so this branch appears jet black."
"After these special waters of time merge into Netherworld, the Yin Qi of Netherworld flows upstream and is absorbed by Emperor Yin, replenishing the lost divine power and luck of Emperor Yin."
"This is a closed loop with almost no solution."
"In this long river of time, there are too many powerful gods and demons, and every tributary is a battleground for gods and demons."
"This Netherworld tributary is contaminated by Yinqi. If other gods and demons take it away, they will inevitably be counterattacked by these Yinqi and Netherworld luck."
"Moreover, Yin Tianzi's divine power and luck are already attached to the tributary. As long as he is willing, he can easily break this tributary."
"For these reasons, even though he is not strong, since Yin Tianzi took control of the tributary, no gods and demons are interested in this tributary."
The Jade Emperor's eyes were complicated, "However, he has tied himself to this tributary, and there is no possibility of leaving."
Li Xiang was slightly startled and looked at the tall black figure, his heart full of respect.
As the Jade Emperor said, real gods are difficult to kill.
But Yin Tianzi is bound to the Netherworld tributary. As long as the tributary collapses, he will inevitably die with him.
"I'm afraid only he can make such a big sacrifice for the Netherworld."
The long river of time is rushing, and the Yin Emperor is alone, guarding the dark time and guarding it quietly.
That figure looked majestic, tragic and lonely.
Li Xiang sighed, once upon a time, he was also the lord of hundreds of millions of undead souls, with five ghost emperors under his command, ten kings of hell, and millions of underworld gods, who scolded Fang Qiu.
But now, I can only live in this long river of time, being wasted by time forever.
"I want to go over and have a look." Li Xiang suddenly said.
The Jade Emperor shook his head, "I can't go too far away from the tributary of Heaven, and your strength is low. If you go to the tributary of Netherworld, any demon god on the way can easily kill you."
"The gods and demons here saw that you were weaker than him, so they killed you on a whim. They don't talk about karma and retribution at all."
Li Xiang remained silent and looked towards the River of Time. He saw many gods and demons in the wide and turbulent river, either alone or together.
A demon fell, but it didn't make any waves.
A god devoured the corpse of a demon, and was attacked by another god.
Many gods and demons could not withstand the erosion of the water of time, and their divine power collapsed and they were swept away by the river.
The world in the long river of time is a battlefield between gods and demons, and it has no rules and is chaotic.
Far scarier than hell.
Farther away, below the Netherworld Branch, there are tributaries and worlds.
At the entrance of each tributary, there is a god or demon sitting there.
"This is the truth of the world." The Jade Emperor drank another cup of fairy brew. "In the world of gods and demons, they are the masters, but in this long river of time, they are all the objects of killing or being killed."
Li Xiang was silent for a moment and asked: "Are those gods and demons who sit on the tributaries the masters of that world?"
The Jade Emperor nodded, "There are many kinds of gods and demons. Those who sit on the tributaries of time, most of their divine power comes from the power of faith. Once they lose the faith of living beings, their divine power will dry up and they will die in the long river of time."
Li Xiang turned to look at the Jade Emperor, "Are you also the God of Faith?"
The Jade Emperor smiled meaningfully and patted Li Xiang on the shoulder, "My little friend, this world is far more complicated than you think."
He pointed to a world upstream that was beyond the river of time and asked, "Do you see it there?"
Li Xiang looked around and saw that it was a green planet. The tributary of time had been cut off. The green planet was collapsing and countless creatures were dying.
An eight-armed god with horns on his head, carrying eight giant buckets, filled the water of time in the river of time, turned around and flew to the collapsing planet, and poured the water of time in the bucket into the planet world.
With the Water of Time, the green planet's collapse has slowed down a bit.
The eight-armed god turned around without stopping and returned to the long river of time to fill the water.
In this way, he ran back and forth between the planet and the river of time, pouring buckets of water of time into the green planet.
"The time tributary of that world was taken away by a heavenly demon," the Jade Emperor said expressionlessly, "its creator god did not have the power to open up the tributary again, so he could only collect water day after day and pour it into the planet world.
"
"But this is in vain. The world is too huge and consumes too much water of time."
Sure enough, not long after, the green planet collapsed, fire gushed out, and the planet world turned into a sea of red fire.
The god cried bitterly, then his body suddenly expanded, opened his huge mouth, and swallowed the entire planet into his mouth. After chewing it a few times, a red liquid burst out from the corner of his mouth. It was unclear whether it was blood or magma.
Figures flew out from between his teeth and fled in all directions.
These fleeing figures are all great powers or gods in that world.
While the eight-armed god was chewing the planet world, he stretched out his eight arms and grabbed the escaped gods at extremely fast speeds and stuffed them into his mouth.
Click, click, click...
The sound of chewing mixed with wails echoed in the long river of time.
The gods that were stuffed into the mouth kept exploding like exploding nuclear bombs.
The eight-armed god felt the pure energy and crisp taste. The corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, but his eyes were crying, and his expression looked contradictory and weird.
"Gulu!"
The eight-armed god's throat quivered, swallowing the chewed up planet world into his belly, wiping his mouth, entering the long river of time, and walking upstream.
