Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 750 - 389: The Gaze Above the River of Time_3

"I don't believe my son would die in there. Let me, let me go find him myself! I must find my son!" Prince Yan's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Qi Guanyu. The dark clouds rolled in the sky, thunder nurturing within, ready to unleash a wrathful storm at any moment.

The argument between the two caught the attention of others. The generals stationed at the Celestial Secret Pavilion were caught in a dilemma, unsure of how to proceed. His rank wasn't high enough to interfere in the battle between two heavyweights.

Although by protocol, he was supposed to assist the Celestial Secret Pavilion Master against Prince Yan, if he intervened, he would only be cannon fodder. Yet, not stepping in would mean neglecting his duty.

The general, who had just silenced many powerful factions, was now in a difficult situation.

Against others, he was assertive, but against Prince Yan, he was undoubtedly in a position of weakness.

Facing Prince Yan's struggle for control, Qi Guanyu helplessly chose to shut down the Celestial Instrument, so even if Prince Yan seized control, he could do nothing rash.

Originally, he planned to search for Prince Yan's two sons first and then make another attempt to find the Divine Weapon Pavilion's Saint Heir.

But now, it seemed there was no chance. In any case, since they hadn't been found earlier, the chances of finding them later would diminish significantly, leaving almost no possibility.

...

Lu Yu saw the Spiritual Qi around the space vortex begin to dissipate and realized the vortex was about to close.

At that moment, he no longer cared about the consequences, directly infusing his Soul Power into the Infinite Star, forcibly tearing the space in front of him to perform spatial travel.

The next moment, he appeared before the closing space vortex and dived headfirst into it.

...

Having seized control, Prince Yan had no idea how to operate the Celestial Instrument. Seeing it about to close and sensing an anomaly within, he didn't react but instead roared furiously at the sky.

"No!"

Rumble ~ The thunderclouds roared, lightning seething with anger, covering the imperial city beneath its dark canopy.

The residents of the imperial city looked up at the thunderclouds above with worry, feeling as if a great calamity was about to befall them.

"Prince Yan, still won't stop! Are you trying to rebel against Da Zhou?"

The voice that once stood against several divine beasts echoed, dispelling the thunderclouds in the sky, letting sunshine once again fall upon the imperial city.

Prince Yan felt the light was blinding, wishing he could punch the sun out of the sky.

But he couldn't. He couldn't bear the stigma of being a traitor, which would lead to the disappearance of Prince Yan's Mansion from the world. Clenching his fists, his nails dug into his flesh as he dropped from the air, kneeling on one knee and lowering his head to say, "Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty."

Qi Guanyu regained control of the Celestial Instrument. The disturbances caused by Lu Yu's entry into the space vortex had long dissipated into nothingness.

He didn't even know someone had entered the closed space-time tunnel at the last moment.

Finally, Prince Yan was punished with house arrest. Until receiving permission from an imperial decree, he was not allowed to leave Prince Yan's Mansion in any manner, not even by proxy.

Before going back to face punishment, Prince Yan apologized to Qi Guanyu, who gave him no pleasant face. Though he sympathized with Prince Yan's anxiety after losing his sons, it didn't mean he would forgive him for it.

He coldly snorted, "Hmm," then waved his robe and turned to leave.

...

Lu Yu was moving forward in the space-time tunnel toward the Divine Martial World when he suddenly felt his speed slow down. The spatial barriers around him grew thinner until he eventually fell out of the tunnel that lost the support of the Celestial Instrument, tumbling into an unknown dimension.

In the midst of his fall, Lu Yu looked up to see a black and red river above the endless time stream, stretching from the past of the time stream into the endless future.

Lu Yu suddenly recalled a phrase, "They are watching here."

As soon as this thought arose, Lu Yu was horrified to realize he could feel something in the black and red river watching him, yet he couldn't see who it was.

The time stream and the black-red river flashed briefly in Lu Yu's sight, but the sensation of being watched lingered in his heart.
