Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 249 - 243: One Million Years of Gu Cultivation, the Founding of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance!
"What method?"
The remaining figures also turned to the final throne.
.....
"Huang’s escape methods are very impressive, we’ve all seen it. Many times our joint attacks have been evaded by him."
"Each time he escapes, he returns even stronger, so we need to change our approach."
The silhouette paused and then continued:
"We adopt a strategy of attrition because in this Mysterious Plateau, we have the ability to constantly revive and instantly heal our injuries."
"Therefore, we’ll engage Huang in a war of attrition, not allowing him any rest, and find ways to cut off all his retreats, preventing anyone from behind from aiding him."
"It might take a very long time, but eventually, with continuous battle, there will be a day when he is exhausted and cannot hold on."
After hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully.
"Tenth Brother is right."
"Indeed, this approach is both stable and effective." Many chimed in agreement.
Finally, the figure on the foremost throne stood up, looked out into the void, and a majestic voice echoed: "We will follow this approach, even if it takes tens of thousands of years, or even millions, we must exhaust him to death."
....
At the edge of the Mysterious Plateau lies an endless and vast Realm Sea.
And on this turbulent Realm Sea stands a majestic figure, his body emitting a faint golden Immortal Light, holding a black small tower in his left hand, standing upright, a lone guardian of the Realm Sea.
Before him are countless enemies, relentlessly charging toward him.
The man, like an undefeated War God, shattered each powerful foe into fragments, who then fell into the Realm Sea, yet he never retreated a single step.
Because he cannot retreat, if he does, the world behind him would suffer....
Thus, he alone guards the Realm Sea, defending against the Mysterious source, blocking the spring, allowing not a single enemy to pass behind him.
After countless years of battle, a quiet day finally arrived, as no enemy launched an attack.
This was the first time in thousands of consecutive years of fighting that he got to rest.
He knew well that it was only a brief day.
Huang looked up at the void, uncertain of what he saw or thought about....
After a long gaze, he unconsciously clenched his fists.
In truth, his life was borrowed.
Because many, many years ago, during a certain calamity, were it not for the intervention of that ’existence’ on the River of Time, he would have already perished....
He planned that after he completely eradicated the Mysterious source, he would personally tread the River of Time to meet that benefactor, to thank them in person.
.....
That encounter long ago planted a seed of constant growth in his heart.
That day, he saw his own weakness and the weakness of his enemies.
In the eyes of that existence on the River of Time, his battle with the ten ancestors of the Mysterious might have seemed like child’s play.
So, even after eliminating the ten ancestors, there remains a long, long path still for him to walk on the journey of cultivation...
No one could answer what the pinnacle of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, the highest point of cultivation truly was....
....
Meanwhile, in the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, on the other side of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
The leaders like Boss, Third Brother, and other core figures convened a highest level meeting.
Through their discussions, they decided to name all their forces under their command, calling it—"Heaven Shepherd Alliance."
The "Shepherd" in "Heaven Shepherd" refers to Su Mu’s "Mu."
By naming it after their lord, Boss and the others indicated that they only fight for the lord, as the supreme power still belongs to the master!
The Heaven Shepherd Alliance encompasses many worlds.
Among them, two Upper-Rank Immortal Realms, the Great Woe Immortal Realm and the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, with the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm as the supreme base camp of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance.
Additionally, there are twelve Middle-Rank Immortal Realms. After conquering the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, two more Middle-Rank Immortal Realms were incorporated.
Fifty-five Lower-Rank Immortal Realms.
And over a thousand Great Worlds, Small Worlds, High Martial Worlds, Low Martial Worlds, Mortal Worlds, etc.
...
"The position of Alliance Leader should go to Third Brother."
In the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, on Immortal Island, within a blue tile courtyard, Boss said to everyone.
Due to the relocation of their headquarters, they moved the Immortal Island of the Great Woe Immortal Realm directly to the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm.
In response to Boss’s refusal, Third Brother quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I can’t handle this task. Boss, you know I just like leading troops in battle, I really can’t do this managing-at-home job."
"Boss, you sitting in this position is more stable," Fourth Sister Jin Yao said to Boss.
"Yes, Boss, don’t refuse," Xiao Wu chimed in supportively.
Dong’Er said nothing. She was a person with self-awareness, clearly knowing that she had not personally gained the master’s approval, so she didn’t participate in these highest decision-making affairs. She adhered to orders, taking whatever position she was given.
In the end, knowing he couldn’t refuse, Boss had no choice but to accept.
Boss became the Alliance Leader of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance, with Third Brother, Fourth Sister, and Xiao Wu as Vice Alliance Leaders.
But Su Mu remained the "Master," the master over everyone, surpassing even the Alliance Leader, holding the most special and highest position.
"Dong’Er, you shall assume the role of ’Supreme Military Advisor’ of our Heaven Shepherd Alliance, with authority equivalent to a Vice Alliance Leader," Boss said to Dong’Er, who had remained silent.
At his words, Dong’Er was surprised: "Boss, I’ve always stayed at home, you are the ones who fought the battles, I..."
"Alright, let’s settle that," Boss replied.
"You played a significant role in directing the overall situation and deserve this position," Boss said with a smile to Dong’Er.
Upon hearing this, Dong’Er looked around and saw everyone smiling and nodding at her, she gently nodded and said, "I will definitely do my best in this role."
.....
Thus, on this day, the "Heaven Shepherd Alliance," destined to make the All Heavens tremble in future conquests of the Ten Thousand Realms, was fully established.
Nobody knew what kind of impact the Heaven Shepherd Alliance would have on the All Heavens in the future....
Nor did anyone know that at this moment, the causality of the All Heavens had greatly shifted!
...
On the River of Time, a handsome man wearing an Immortal Robe walked step by step along the river path.
Occasionally, he bent down to pick up stones and stranded fish and shrimp, tossing them back into the river.
Reaching a weed-infested area, he took out a specially-made sickle, clearing the weeds one bundle at a time, and when encountering broken stone dams, he rolled up his sleeves to move huge stones to patch up the damaged parts.
Every minute and every second, Su Mu wasn’t idle, and Favor Points continued to flow in endlessly.
The next moment, as Su Mu leisurely picked up debris, he suddenly stepped on something and slipped, staggering to the ground, exclaiming in an unguarded moment in his native dialect, "Oh, crap!"
