Chapter 211 Traversing Time
The watch on the bedside table vibrated violently, emitting a similarly strange and illusory light—more precisely, the strap emitted a light with the same origin as the digital display.
It was as if a connection had been made between the two, attracting each other!
The two straps detached from the watch, transforming into two illusory beams of light that merged with the digital display!
Instantly, a complete digital watch appeared!
The light condensed into a Bagua pattern, completing it. Within the dial, twelve symbols representing time appeared, precisely the divine imprint behind the head of the Haotian Shangdi, symbolizing the laws of time!
Seeing this imprint emerge, Zhang Yuanqing finally breathed a sigh of relief!
What he meant by "seeking a glimmer of hope" was the hope of completing the digital watch. He once believed that the watch straps were hidden by him in the treasure vault of the Yu Hua Xianmen (Feather Transformation Immortal Sect), which was why he had no relevant memories.
Therefore, after the Star Lord destroyed that hope, he decided to go all-in and start the decisive battle early, not giving the opponent time to obliterate the remnants of Ling Tuo's spirit!
But based on his confidence in himself, he always harbored a doubt: the digital watch, as a gift from the Haotian Shangdi, as his trump card...
If it was hidden in the treasure vault of the Yu Hua Xianmen, why would he publicize it so grandly?
"Grandly" was not accurate, but the Devil Monarch leaving behind a legacy for his "imperial concubines" was common knowledge among the higher echelons of the Lingjing (Spirit Realm) world!
With the Star Lord's calculation ability, he could easily see through the truth!
Sure enough, after discovering that Yuan Shi Tianzun possessed the ability of "having a cycle" to protect him, the Star Lord immediately realized...
This was the power of the Haotian Shangdi, and he judged that the opportunity Yuan Shi Tianzun was looking for to complete the origin of the sun was in the Yu Hua Xianmen!
Therefore, Zhang Yuanqing boldly speculated that the information about the Yu Hua Xianmen was something he had sold, and the real watch straps were not in the treasure vault!
Once the digital watch was understood, it would fall into a cycle, so there was no need to hide it too secretly. This characteristic meant that no one could find it!
But precisely because of this characteristic, Zhang Yuanqing himself could not find it either, so he guessed that the clues might be hidden in the Cat King speaker, which could record information!
Sure enough, the Cat King speaker gave a directional answer—older cousin.
Originally, with the characteristics of the watch straps, it would be difficult for the Cat King speaker to give a clear indication, but the former self (the Devil Monarch), combined with the current situation, quietly found his older cousin and entrusted the "watch straps" to him!
Although the Cat King speaker did not record key information, the fact that the Devil Monarch, who no longer contacted his family after falling, suddenly contacted Chen Yuanjun one day became the most obvious hint!
Zhang Yuanqing reached out and grabbed the digital watch, reading its item attributes with anticipation!
The pieced-together digital watch actually showed item attributes: [Name: Digital Watch]
[Type: Electronic Product]
[Function: Time Travel]
[Introduction: A rule-based item from a certain god. Adjusting the time on the digital watch allows you to travel back in time, but there are only four opportunities!]
[Note 1: It can only go back to the past!]
[Note 2: Each time time travel is used, the next one will become random!]
[Note 3: After returning to the past, the more powerful the force you use, the more spiritual power the digital watch will consume. Please use it with caution!]
Compared to those rule-based items, the digital watch's introduction was concise and clear!
The function of the digital watch was to travel through time back to the past, with four chances. Among these time travels, only two allowed him to actively choose the time!
For example, the time of the first "crossing" could be chosen by himself, the second time would become a random crossing, the third time he could actively choose again, and the fourth time would become a random crossing again.
Also, after returning to the past, he could not use too much power, because the power he used in the "past" came from the digital watch and not from himself!
"I feel like the item's time travel is not very stable. Is it due to the digital watch's inherent level limit, or is it because the profession hasn't been unlocked yet?" Zhang Yuanqing caressed the digital watch for a few seconds, then tried to modify the year and time on the buttons!
"If I remember correctly, the day Shui hunted down Black Impermanence, I encountered him on a narrow road at 12:10 a.m. on May 9, 2022!" Zhang Yuanqing modified the time, while sighing in his heart, "So, it was myself."
He pressed the confirm button. The Bagua dial, symbolizing the laws of the Haotian Shangdi, engraved with twelve symbols representing time, began to rotate in reverse, as if time was flowing backward.
It rotated faster and faster, the light it emitted becoming stronger and stronger. When the intense light reached its peak, an invisible ripple shook...
All the light contracted inward, collapsing to the extreme, and then disappeared!
Chen Yuanjun sat on the bed in a daze, watching his younger cousin and the digital watch disappear before his eyes!
Zhang Yuanqing seemed to enter a tunnel of time, countless energy substances whizzing past him. He seemed to travel through the microscopic particle level for a long time, or maybe it was just a moment. Zhang Yuanqing broke away from the "time tunnel."
Reality, scenery appeared before his eyes!
He appeared in a secluded alley in the dark night. On both sides were slightly dilapidated residential buildings, and the streetlights emitted a dim yellow light.
A private car was parked on the narrow side of the street, and a man wearing a cap and mask stood in the middle of the street, holding a beautifully crafted crystal glass in his hand. The glass had cracks, and a miniature sun in scarlet wine floated up and down. Two forces intertwined and annihilated each other, forming a delicate balance!
Opposite the cap-wearing man, a frail man with a red bridal veil covering his head leaned against the wall in a miserable state, covered in blood. He looked like he had been beaten badly!
Behind him, on the wall, formless and surging Yin energy surged, as if it wanted to enter the real world, but was afraid to show its head!
Zhang Yuanqing saw the beautiful figure of the ghost bride from the dense Yin energy!
Not far from the two, a pot-bellied, bald uncle was lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, his body still warm!
At this time, the windows of the residential buildings lit up one by one, as if the residents in the buildings were awakened by the sound of the battle!
Zhang Yuanqing walked out of the alley, smeared his face, transformed into the appearance of the Devil Monarch, and said with a light smile, "If I remember correctly, it's this time, this place... Long time no see, Black Impermanence!"
At the same time, he pressed the pause button on the digital watch. Instantly, the surrounding time stood still. Gray power spread in all directions, turning the colorful world into gray and white!
Black Impermanence suddenly turned around and saw him. His expression became extremely frightened, "It's you? How could it be you? How could it be you! No... this is impossible, this is impossible..."
Immediately, his body was stained with gray and white, and his expression froze on his face!
Zhang Yuanqing walked to Black Impermanence, took the crystal glass from his hand, and pointed it at Black Impermanence's brow, obliterating the other party's spirit!
Then, the sun imprint appeared on his brow, his skin turned dark gold, and his hair was entwined with golden particles. He activated the Raging Sun God of War skill!
Then, Zhang Yuanqing's finger deeply penetrated into the crystal glass, and he took out the blazing and bright little sun.
The little sun transformed into a golden crow, flapping its wings and crashing into the sun imprint on his forehead. Zhang Yuanqing's soul and body were instantly filled with the violent power of the sun god. His eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears spewed out scorching golden light!
After a long time, he gently exhaled a scorching airflow and calmed the restless power of the sun within his body!
Although it was an avatar, it shared the same origin as the main body. The golden crow defaulted that he was the master. The abnormality just now was due to the low level, causing a condition to accommodate the golden crow!
"The golden crow's power is too violent, this body can't hold on for long." Zhang Yuanqing looked down at the Fallen Holy Grail, and his palm emitted golden light, and he exerted force violently.
With a "crack" sound, the crystal glass was covered with cracks!
He destroyed this rule-based item!
Zhang Yuanqing threw away this high-level item that once caused him pain and fear like throwing away a piece of trash.
He deactivated the digital watch's pause and activated the time travel function again!
The light suddenly expanded, then collapsed, taking him into a microscopic world-like time tunnel!
This time it was a random crossing, he didn't know when he would return. In the tunnel where he couldn't perceive the passage of time...
Zhang Yuanqing didn't know how much he had experienced before returning to the real world again, which was in a season of apricot blossoms and drizzle!
There were no masked palm civets around. The weather was cloudy, with light clouds covering the sky and drizzle moisturizing the earth. Vehicles shuttled silently through the rain.
Pedestrians came and went in a hurry with umbrellas!
He looked down at the digital watch, the time displayed was April 13, 2022!
Less than a month apart from the end of the Black Impermanence incident.
"What can I do at this time node?" Zhang Yuanqing fell into thought!
Kill the Star Lord?
Kill Ling Tuo?
With my current state and power, dealing with the two of them is probably like delivering myself to their door.
Hmm... Notify Master Wuhen and ask him to give up his promotion to Illusion God? One regret that Zhang Yuanqing couldn't let go of was the destruction of the Wuhen Hotel!
But immediately he dismissed this idea. Let alone whether Master Wuhen would agree, if he did agree, the future might change as a result... increasing the variables.
At this time node... there weren't many things he could do!
Find his uncle and give him the script in advance? No, if his uncle knew the future development, it would be the same as the Star Lord knowing.
"That's right, in two days I will get a character card and enter the Yuling Tunnel dungeon." Zhang Yuanqing's heart moved and he had an idea!
He activated the power of the golden crow, his whole body ignited with golden flames, and he stepped out to the Lingjing (Spirit Realm) world.
Zhang Yuanqing skillfully found a dungeon and used the golden crow's "permissions" to open the dungeon barrier and enter it.
A mountain god temple, shrouded in Yin energy, desolate and dilapidated, appeared below!
He planned to come here to see the old hag. This woman played an indispensable role in his growth path and was his biggest backer in the Lingjing (Spirit Realm)!
If possible, Zhang Yuanqing hoped to give her a little hint, so that she could take care of a certain young talent who rose like a comet in the future.
He used the escape technique and came directly to the underground of the mountain god temple, and saw the stone coffin entangled by tree roots!
