Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 286 - 277: The Figure on the Stone Bridge—He Does Not Even Enter Reincarnation
After speaking, the black-haired man completely burned everything in his body.
He transformed into an indelible Immortal Light, blending into the void, heading towards a certain time and space.
Within this Immortal Light, his powerful will was carried, and this will had a very strong long-cherished wish!
At this moment, he made a choice, standing on the side of that man.
Even though he was killed by him, he had no regrets or complaints, at least the other party showed him respect from beginning to end, letting him die with clarity, this was his strength, so the black-haired man admired him!
Not like those self-proclaimed sacred beings, relying on some means to achieve victory, he despised that!
So, if this grand chess game truly needed a resolution of victory and defeat, he hoped that the being from the River of Time would win!
"Hahahahahahaha!"
The black-haired man’s body completely turned into bits of dust, dissipating into this void Chaos Space, returning to nothingness.
Completely vanished from the world.
Because at the last moment of death, he conveyed all his will to a certain time and space, so... there was nothing left of him, he didn’t even enter Reincarnation.
In other words, he was completely dead, without even the qualification for Reincarnation.
To resurrect him, even overturning Reincarnation would be impossible, because he had returned to the world, unless one day, a Supreme being overturned the whole world and numerous time spaces, reassembled the particles that had returned to the world, there would be a tiny possibility of resurrection.
Did he regret not entering Reincarnation?
If he didn’t know the truth at that moment, he might have regretted it.
But at the moment of knowing the truth, he did not regret it.
At least at the last moment, he did what he believed was right, this decision was made by his complete heart, without manipulation.
His only regret might be that in the future, he couldn’t see with his own eyes the outcome of this grand chess game sweeping All Heavens and Myriad Realms, who finally won....
But it didn’t matter, he was already dead.
Still, he hoped he could win.
No, he definitely believed he could win!
With the complete disappearance of the black-haired man, this law-broken void Chaos Space returned to silence again, as if no one had come or gone.
.....
On the Long River.
The next day, when Su Mu returned to patrol this tributary water area, he found that everything had completely returned to normal.
Since the gap under the riverbed was filled, the dehydration and cracking behind it had all returned to their original state, and the recovery was very fast and very good.
Not only that, healthy aquatic plants like water grass and algae began growing in the river, and blooming flowers lined the banks, with wilting trees thriving and blooming after being nourished.
Yesterday, this place was dry and cracked, with a devastated ecosystem, the riverbed littered with fish bone corpses.
But today, it’s full of life, even giving Su Mu a sense of clear mountains and waters, diverse and vigorous, with the ecosystem restored so well overnight.
One can’t help but marvel at the strong self-regulating capability of nature.
Because according to Su Mu’s estimation, it would take at least ten days to half a month for recovery even at the fastest speed, he didn’t expect it to become so good overnight, as if someone had intervened.
Su Mu walked on the river surface, patrolling this tributary.
The next second, several beautiful small fish came to his feet, constantly rubbing against him, appearing very friendly.
Not only that, a few newborn baby crocodiles swam from the shallow river, also clustering around Su Mu’s feet.
This surprised Su Mu greatly.
Because... just yesterday, the Water Beast on this tributary were fierce towards him, with several vicious crocodiles even attacking him, yet overnight, the attitude of the creatures in this tributary turned 180 degrees, it was too strange.... 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
At this time, the image of the black-haired man he killed yesterday suddenly flashed in Su Mu’s mind.
Last night, while meditating for cultivation, he also pondered this issue.
Why did that black-haired man want to kill him?
He also said that he would understand in the future.
If similar situations occur in the future, he will unravel the mystery, figuring out these unclear truths, at least to know... why the other side wanted to kill him?
However, that is something for the future, for now, he must first refine this river, and then talk about walking out of it.
The things Su Mu wants to do seem endless, waiting to be done one by one after coming out of this river, the current task is to patrol and guard the river, earning Favor Points.
After a careful patrol, Su Mu also took action, solving some minor problems.
For example, cleaning up excessive silt built up on the riverbed, or removing weeds and garbage washed into a corner, everything was cleaned up.
He also cleared some excessively reproductive algae species affecting the ecosystem, as the massive reproduction of these algae would endanger the lives of aquatic creatures and greatly damage the ecosystem.
Moreover, Su Mu repaired a few openings on the river bank so that the river could flow completely and smoothly without overflowing onto the banks.
After finishing all this, Su Mu looked at the excellently improved tributary river, satisfied and nodded.
...
Apart from earning such Favor Points, restoring this extremely bad tributary to its current state brought some sense of achievement, and it looked very comforting as well.
After completing everything, Su Mu left the tributary river channel and continued patrolling along the main river channel.
.....
As he walked, a dense fog rose over the river.
This fog was very thick, but for the current Su Mu, it no longer affected him at all.
Turning around, he found that the Little Fox still followed behind, unaffected by the fog.
Pang——
Pang——
Pang——
Not far ahead, came a rhythmic sound similar to iron being hammered, sometimes muffled, sometimes crisp.
Following the sound, he approached, his eyes piercing through the fog towards the front.
He saw, on the river channel ahead, a stone bridge appeared, connecting the two banks of the river.
On the stone bridge stood a figure, bending slightly, holding what looked like a hammer, constantly knocking on the stone bridge.
At this moment, Su Mu felt something amiss.
He turned around and said to the Little Fox behind him: "Stay here, don’t follow me."
After speaking, Su Mu walked step by step through the dense mist towards the stone bridge.
Maybe sensing someone’s approach, the figure stopped the hammer in hand.
