Chapter 431: A Million Years Ago (3)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
He picked up a relatively intact book and read it carefully, frowning.
He looked at a paragraph of words. Several characters were missing and it was very incoherent. He had to guess what it meant.
Not to mention that it was missing after reading one page and turning to the next. The next page was also gone. When he reached the next page, it was still gone…
How could he read a story that was so disjointed?
Li Qingshan put the book down helplessly and shook his head. At this rate, he wouldn’t be able to investigate the Nine-Tailed Fox who controlled the Great Path of Fate.
“Father, have you forgotten something?” Suddenly, the Big Clock inside Li Qingshan spoke.
Li Qingshan was startled, then his eyes lit up, and he shook his head, saying, “I really didn’t think of that. It’s true that one is often confused in the game.”
These books are broken now but were intact a million years ago. If he had pushed the time back a million years, wouldn’t he have been able to see the complete records?
Li Qingshan stretched out his hand, and the Emperor energy slowly emerged, evolving into the Big Clock.
This time, the Big Clock wasn’t particularly large. It was very small and slowly floated in front of Li Qingshan’s palm.
“Father, let’s go to a million years ago.” The Big Clock was very excited and, together with Li Qingshan, propelled time backward.
“Okay!” Li Qingshan nodded and his palm began to move the Big Clock, rotating it counterclockwise.
Boom!
Energy surged throughout the room, spreading everywhere, and then attaching to each book.
Time began to flow backward.
Ten years, a hundred years, ten thousand years…
Li Qingshan and the Big Clock remained motionless, allowing time to flow through their bodies. Time flew like an arrow, shuttling back and forth, taking everything away.
When time had flown back a million years, those damaged books were instantly restored, each one as good as new, without any signs of damage.
Li Qingshan smiled and fixed the time, presenting the years from a million years ago before his eyes.
“Father, the era a million years ago seems to have a special feeling,” the Big Clock pondered.
“Does time have a feeling?” Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow, not believing this.
Time didn’t have feelings!
“It’s not a matter of time. It’s a matter of this era,” the Big Clock said.
“What’s wrong with this era?” Li Qingshan asked. Could just arriving at a side hall’s time a million years ago reveal issues with the era?
He hadn’t noticed anything.
“The Big Clock is right. There’s indeed an issue with this era,” the lazy Space Girl said.
Li Qingshan’s expression became serious. If his son said there was a problem, it might not be certain, but if his daughter said there was a problem, then there definitely was a problem.
“What did you guys find? Why didn’t I realize anything?” Li Qingshan asked. He was also observing the time in the side hall but hadn’t found anything.
“We are realization magic treasures, a part of the Great Path’s origin energy, and also a part of the Rules. We can sense these things more powerfully than the Emperor because we share the same origin,” the Big Clock explained.
“So when we came to this era, we should resonate with this era, but obviously, this era isn’t resonating with us. That’s what the Big Clock was surprised about just now,” the Space Girl said.
“Even though you are integrated with me, yet you can still resonate with the eras?” Li Qingshan asked curiously.
“I don’t know why, but we’re able to retain this part of our ability. Perhaps it’s because our consciousness was preserved very well. In general, we’re considered relatives of the Rules.” the Space Girl explained.
“Then wouldn’t I be the Rules’ relative’s father? An elder of the Rules?” Li Qingshan stroked his chin and suddenly said.
Both the Big Clock and the Space Girl were speechless.
Seeing them silent, Li Qingshan coughed dryly and said, “Alright, I understand what you’re saying. It’s just that the Rules of this era haven’t accepted you. Maybe it’s because the era is different. What’s the big problem with that?”
“It’s a big problem!” The Big Clock and the Space Girl said in unison.
Li Qingshan’s expression gradually became serious. If both children said so, then there really was a problem.
“What exactly is the problem?” Li Qingshan asked.
“The Rules of this era are different from the Rules from our era,” the Space Girl said seriously.
Regarding this matter, she was very serious because realization magic treasures were born from the rules. The rules were a vast cradle, and they cherished it, unwilling to see it destroyed.
“What do you mean? Are the rules partially different or mostly different?” Li Qingshan asked seriously.
“We don’t know, but the Rules of a million years ago are certainly different from the current Rules. Although they both look like Rules, it’s like the difference between a son, a father, and a grandfather,” the Big Clock explained thoughtfully.
“I didn’t expect to have such a big discovery this time,” Li Qingshan murmured. He had only wanted to push the time back to a million years ago and check the complete version of these broken books. He hadn’t expected to have an additional discovery that the Rules of a million years ago were different from the present, indicating changes unknown to people.
“Over the past million years, cultivation has become increasingly difficult. No one could find the reason. Perhaps it had something to do with the changing Rules,” Li Qingshan said seriously. He didn’t expect that he would accidentally discover a big secret.
“Father, if there’s a chance, you must investigate it thoroughly. I feel that the Rules from a million years ago were more abundant, powerful, and easier to comprehend than the current Rules,” the Big Clock said.
“I understand. Let’s read the books first. Maintaining the time from a million years ago consumes a lot of energy.” Li Qingshan nodded and kept this matter in mind. Then, with a move of his Divine Sense, each book flew up and suspended in the air, flipping through automatically. Li Qingshan closed his eyes and scanned all the contents at once.
“As expected, there’s that Nine-Tailed Fox who has comprehended the Great Path of Fate.” Li Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes and said in surprise. He walked straight to a book, reached out, and opened it.
However, at this moment, a line of words appeared in front of him.
[Your serious observation activated Maxed-Level Comprehension, and you’ve comprehended a Fate Rule.]
Li Qingshan stared blankly.
He thought, “What kind of existence was this Nine-Tailed Fox?”
He had only picked up a book that recorded its information, yet he had already activated his maxed-level comprehension skills and comprehended a Fate Rule.
Wasn’t this too powerful?
