A silver-gray cube, aimlessly suspended above the River of the Void.
A layer of extremely high-level energy protected it from being destroyed by ordinary attacks or eroded by the void river here.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, the War Shackles cube, which had been standing blankly in place, began to spin rapidly!
The next moment!
Boom!!!
An immeasurable amount of river water was violently blasted into the sky. Under the powerful thrust, they completely left the outer void and returned to the upper void.
The void river water from other places immediately began to fill the super-giant gap in the riverbed.
But the next moment, as a slowly rising, colossal shadow appeared, the river water flowing at the edge of the gap all stagnated!
What a magnificent and terrifying dragon head that was!
If the giant standing in the riverbed out of nowhere was larger than an ordinary planet,
Then that giant, before this dragon head that had only emerged halfway, was as insignificant as a mortal.
Even as the dragon head emerged, a large amount of void river water rapidly cascaded down its scales.
In this falling river water, those worlds that were accidentally swept in, were as tiny as marbles, rolling back into the river.
As soon as the dragon head broke through, it looked towards the location of the War Shackles with immense anger.
But to its surprise, the world that should have been locked there by the War Shackles had disappeared!
"Little mouse, what trick have you played now?"
Long Jiu's true form, having forcefully broken through several layers of void boundaries, glared at the approaching cube:
"Useless! Can't even keep an eye on people! The avatar is also destroyed! What use are you!!"
The voice from the dragon head was not human language, but any intelligent being hearing it would instantly understand its meaning.
The cube, as if alive, began to tremble.
"In the name of the Great Lord! Destruction!"
Bang!!!
The originally clear void river suddenly transformed into a river of smoldering fire!
No, the space where the dragon head was located, a space the size of a solar system, completely turned into a space burned by black fire!
Under Long Jiu's will, the massive river water and the cube, which had been subjected to its wrath, were instantly incinerated from their very roots!
When the flames dissipated, a void the size of a planetary system appeared on the endless river, which was without beginning or end!
Within the void, the dragon head, having vented some of its anger, looked again towards the position where the cube had been:
"In the name of the Great Lord! Time here reverses!!!"
Buzz! As if pressing the rewind button,
Everything within this void began to rewind incessantly!
The incinerated river water and the cube reappeared,
The bewildered cube floated quietly on the flowing river surface,
The dragon head, completely independent of the rewinding time here, gazed chillingly at the scene of continuous reversal.
In this outer void, standing at the apex of all worlds, it could even manipulate time at will.
Of course, this was not without cost, but a small cost, it could bear!
Feeling the Great Lord's power being consumed within its body, the dragon head's gaze grew colder.
Long Jiu was determined that as soon as that human shadow appeared, it would immediately devour him!
But! xxs
The rewinding time abruptly halted, and a streak of white light, like dawn breaking through all darkness, instantly shattered the rewind process!
"Roar!!!" The dragon head cried out in pain. At this moment, the backlash caused blood to seep from beneath its dragon scales!
Black blood flowed past its crimson eyes, and the dragon eyes stared fixedly at the scene that had stopped rewinding.
The cube, revived by the time reversal, nudged closer to its master with some confusion.
As a special item with only a sliver of an artifact spirit, the War Shackles could not retain memories in the reversed time.
Snap!
The dragon head opened its maw and bit down, instantly swallowing a large expanse of river water along with the bewildered cube into its mouth.
Feeling the minuscule feedback from its mouth, Long Jiu roared in dissatisfaction:
"Damn mouse!! Damn game!!!"
Devouring the cube and the void river water the size of a planetary system brought Long Jiu no benefit whatsoever.
Its status was too high. While the void river was incredibly resource-rich for ordinary worlds and domain lords, for it, it was an extremely barren world.
Here, in its true form, it was powerful enough to reverse time at will, but it could not gain any replenishment.
In fact, if it stayed here for too long, the Great Lord would need to expend even more power to maintain its existence.
Therefore, Great Lords generally did not wish to descend to lower levels of the void unless by accident.
Moreover, Great Lords were not invincible!
For example, during the recent rewind, the rewinding time touched the game that had teleported Chen Luo away.
At that moment, it was equivalent to Long Jiu directly colliding with the game.
This was also the reason why Long Jiu accepted the failure of the descent, because when Chen Luo killed the avatar, the game had already certified that fact.
If Long Jiu wanted to reverse time, revive the avatar, and simultaneously use its true form to swallow Chen Luo to alter history.
Then it would have to be able to suppress the game's certification.
Now, knowing that the disappearance of World Number Nine and Chen Luo were both related to the game, Long Jiu closed its eyes in anger:
"Mouse, you are good at running!"
"Come! Let me see how many times you can escape!"
"In the name of the Great Lord! Void! Tell me! Where has that mouse gone!"
Where there is a path, there are traces.
Long Jiu could not suppress the Doomsday Game in terms of status and power, so it could not reverse time to kill Chen Luo in past history.
In fact, because the game had performed a teleportation, Long Jiu could not even directly sense and reconstruct the aura of Chen Luo's movement.
But, this was the void!
The status of the void was definitely above the Doomsday Game!
In the name of the Void Great Lord, Long Jiu requested information about Chen Luo's current whereabouts from the void!
A moment later, its dragon eyes slowly opened, and its crimson pupils were filled with cruelty:
"Escaped there? Wait for me! Human! Please don't escape into a world!"
Boom!!!
The dragon head, the size of a planetary system, plunged into the river water. Beneath the clear yet surging, boundless giant river, a terrifying nine-headed shadow was rapidly descending into the depths!
...
Mid-level Void - Void World,
After a flash of light on the light blue system panel, the system finally provided Chen Luo with the information he needed:
[To redeem World Number Ten (Intermediate World) and permanently halt the game's progress in this world, you need to pay 1500 units of Great Origin Power.]
[Special Note: The Great Origin of the current world has fallen into a deep slumber due to severe injuries and cannot respond effectively. Furthermore, only about 800 units of Great Origin Power remain in this world! Therefore, please do not expect the Great Origin to help you pay the fee!]
