Gu Hai used a Go Dao ritual array to manifest a Supreme Singularity.
The golden crow let out a loud cry and flapped its wings. Then, it flew above the ritual array. Gu Hai manifested another ritual array, and the Supreme Genesis’s figure appeared amid the purple energy.
The moment the ritual array manifested the Supreme Singularity, everyone in the distance guessed what had happened.
Old Mister Guan Qi has agreed to send Gu Hai back?
Back to eight hundred thousand years in the future?
Everyone felt startled. As they looked at the Immortal Origin before Old Mister Guan Qi, they knew they no longer had any chance.
Gu Hai and Old Mister Guan Qi seemed to have reached a tacit agreement. They grasped the power of all life. It was practically impossible to snatch the Immortal Origin from them.
Gu Hai is leaving?
The nearby Supreme Wa felt anxious. “Gu Hai, what about my elder brother’s letter? What does my elder brother’s letter say? Can my elder brother be saved?”
The Supreme Wa’s shout startled Gu Hai slightly.
The Supreme Wa quickly flew over; Gu Hai did not stop her. He opened his mouth and spat out a letter.
This was Fuxi’s letter.
There was a restriction on the letter, one based on aura. Upon sensing Gu Hai’s aura, the restriction instantly disappeared.
Gu Hai opened the letter and read it.
There was only one line.
“Before you go back, console and make arrangements for the Supreme Wa, as I cannot do anything more and can only rely on you to protect her.”
There was just one line, but this one line made Gu Hai raise his eyebrows.
“That’s impossible!” Gu Hai exclaimed.
Fuxi knew that I would return? He wrote this letter in advance? He could divine the future? Could it be that Fuxi had already divined my match with Old Mister Guan Qi?
“What did my elder brother say? What did my elder brother say?” the Supreme Wa asked anxiously.
“There’s no way to save Fuxi.” Gu Hai shook his head.
“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! Let me see! Let me see!” The Supreme Wa started wailing, mentally crumbling. Then, she snatched the letter.
When the Supreme Wa saw the letter’s contents, tears flowed out. “No! No! You are lying to me! There must be a way to save my elder brother!”
Then, Gu Hai turned his head to look at Old Mister Guan Qi. “Heavenly Go Pavilion Master, can the Supreme Wa come with me?”
“You all came from eight hundred thousand years in the future, traveling back to the past. That goes against the flow of time, so there is a loophole. If she follows you, time will flow normally for her. I cannot guarantee that she can survive to reach eight hundred thousand years in the future.
Gu Hai’s face sank. The Supreme Wa before him could not come with him. Otherwise, she would die of old age midway.
Then, Gu Hai looked at the Supreme Singularity and the Supreme Genesis before driving the ritual array again.
Caw!
“Argh!”
The Supreme Singularity and the Supreme Genesis yelped in pain.
“I’m planting a restriction in your consciousnesses. Protect the Supreme Wa with everything you have for the next eight hundred thousand years. You are not to have any bad intentions towards her. Her life is more valuable than everything you two have!” Gu Hai shouted.
Buzz!
The Supreme Singularity and the Supreme Genesis cried out loudly as they trembled. It seemed like a mark had been left in the depths of their memories.
“Heavenly Go Pavilion Master.” Gu Hai looked at Old Mister Guan Qi once more.
“Can I trouble you to use the time laws in that half pen to seal all of the Supreme Wa’s memories of us?” Gu Hai asked gravely.
Old Mister Guan Qi glanced at the Supreme Wa. “The time laws in your pen are limited. They can seal the memories of only one person. Otherwise, I cannot connect to the target eight hundred thousand years in the future.”
All at once, Old Mister Guan Qi flung out his hand.
Whoosh!
A white beam of light shot at the Supreme Wa’s head.
Buzz!
The Supreme Wa trembled, then fainted.
“Supreme Wa!” Gu Hai anxiously caught the Supreme Wa.
“There’s no need to worry. She is just suffering from grief. I have sealed her memories. When she wakes up, she will have forgotten everything that happened during this time,” Old Mister Guan Qi said indifferently.
“Good!” Gu Hai nodded.
“Since you are going back, then all the people who survive shall return. Sect Master Heavenly Access, Present Buddha, you came here by your consciousnesses possessing your bodies in the past. When your consciousnesses leave your bodies, your past bodies will forget everything that happened during this time, as these memories will be brought to eight hundred thousand years in the future with you. These past bodies cannot retain these memories,” Old Mister Guan Qi said.
Far away, Heavenly Access and the others nodded sullenly.
“We are still short of a Future Buddha?” The Present Buddha looked at Gu Hai.
Buzz!
Gu Hai used the Go Dao ritual array to manifest a fat Future Buddha—the Future Buddha who used the World Cleansing Shut Eyes Meditation not long ago.
Gu Hai opened his mouth and spat out the Savant Wisdom Divine Cane, sending it flying towards the first-generation Future Buddha replica’s hand.
“Leave the rest to me. After I extract some of the time-attributed energy from the chaotic spacetime, I will open the doors of time for you all,” Old Mister Guan Qi said with a sigh.
Jiang Lianshan said coldly, “Hah! You want us to come and go at your whim? Old Mister Guan Qi, have you even asked if we want to return?”
Old Mister Guan Qi glanced at Jiang Lianshan indifferently, then ignored him, turning to Murong Yan.
Old Mister Guan Qi raised his eyebrows. Should I send Murong Yan away or keep her here?
“Husband, I don’t want to go. I want to accompany you. Let me stay with you. Is that alright, Husband?” Murong Yan suddenly cried sorrowfully.
Old Mister Guan Qi’s entire body trembled. His heart felt like knives had cut it.
As Gu Hai said, Old Mister Guan Qi cared about this Murong Yan. That was why he avoided her. Was he going to send her away now, never to meet again? Old Mister Guan Qi felt upset, not wanting to send her off. However, where would he find the determination to search for the real Murong Yan if she did not go? Even if the next Murong Yan was also a fake, he was willing to lie to himself. Old Mister Guan Qi still wanted to walk his path to the end. When he heard Murong Yan’s sorrow, his resolve began to crumble.
“No. You go with Jiang Lianshan and the others. Forget me. Just forget me!” Old Mister Guan Qi seemed like he had aged significantly.
“I can’t forget! I can’t!” Murong Yan cried sorrowfully.
Nearby, Jiang Lianshan felt startled. Old Mister Guan Qi wants Murong Yan to go back with me? He is going to remain behind alone?
Jiang Lianshan no longer rejected returning.
“Yan Heavenly Emperor, since you are leaving, please return our treasures!” Sect Master Supreme Ascendant said.
Now that Jiang Lianshan no longer resisted, he became much more amiable.
He opened his mouth and spat out the Nine-Petaled Golden Lotus, the Xuanyuan Sword, the Taiji Diagram, and the remaining energy, returning them to the others.
Old Mister Guan Qi could not bear to see Murong Yan crying. He turned to Gu Hai and took out three black Go stones and one white Go stone.
“The Chen Xianer you are looking for is sealed in this white Go stone alone. Hah! I considered your incredible Go skills and prepared it to turn the situation around in the Go match. In the end, I gave up. You can have this along with the other heavenly souls.” Old Mister Guan Qi somewhat anxiously handed over the bunch of Go stones.
“Xianer?” Gu Hai felt startled. Then, he very carefully received it.
Previously, Gu Hai had used Gu Qin and Yan Qingshan in the Go Dao world and seemed to have victory at hand. However, had Old Mister Guan Qi taken out Chen Xianer’s heavenly soul, Gu Hai would have lost, as Chen Xianer was his weakness. Old Mister Guan Qi had not used it but could have.
“Many thanks!” Gu Hai said seriously.
Old Mister Guan Qi shook his head and sighed, “Alright. I’m going to start extracting the time-attributed energy from the chaotic spacetime.
“Chaotic spacetime? Will the heavenly deity body escape if you do that?” Gu Hai frowned.
“The time in the chaotic spacetime is in chaos. A few days for us might be hundreds of millions of years there. Furthermore, the time-attributed energy in there will wear down his mind. He will have suffered destructive trauma even if he is still alive.” Old Mister Guan Qi shook his head.
“Alright, then. Do be careful!” Gu Hai nodded.
Old Mister Guan Qi extended his hand to start.
“Be…be careful!” A voice suddenly came from the distance.
Everyone turned their head and saw Long Shenying covered in blood and surrounded by six-colored light as he shouted with much difficulty.
Blargh!
After shouting, Long Shenying spewed a mouthful of blood as though suffering a fatal attack.
“What’s happening?”
“Six colors? That is the light from the heavenly deity body’s energy earlier.”
Suddenly, everyone’s expression changed.
Phish! Phish!
Two palms suddenly appeared before Gu Hai and Old Mister Guan Qi, stabbing into their chests—no, stabbing into the chests of the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord and the black-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord.
Old Mister Guan Qi and Gu Hai goggled as they looked at the hand in their chests, which had the heavenly deity body’s aura. Despite the hands having only white bones left, they immediately recognized it.
Back then, the heavenly deity body had two arms coming out of his back. Now, there were four. Two stabbed into the chests of the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord and the black-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord. The third one clutched an indistinct golden energy rope—that energy rope connected to the distant Long Shenying.
“He is here through my bloodline connection with Long Shenwu. We did not completely seal him earlier!” Long Shenying’s body twisted, giving off cracking sounds.
That energy rope gave the heavenly deity body a faint hope of returning.
The fourth hand held the Immortal Origin.
“Oh no!” Everyone’s expression changed.
Gu Hai and Old Mister Guan Qi yelled in alarm as they goggled.
“Protect Yan`er!”
“Protect the Supreme Wa!”
In obedience to the two’s orders, Jiang Lianshan, the Flame Monarch, the Supreme Singularity, the Supreme Genesis, and Zombie One rushed to the two women to protect them.
“Hahahahaha! All who oppose me, explode!” A loud roar rang out.
Boom!
A powerful shock wave spread out in space.
The shock wave exploded all the stars Gu Hai and Old Mister Guan Qi had arranged earlier.
The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord and the black-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord bore the brunt of the explosion.
Boom! Boom!
The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord and the black-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord exploded. Old Mister Guan Qi and Gu Hai had no time to react.
The huge chaotic spacetime entrance appeared at the center of the explosion—a large hole giving off seven-colored energy.
The heavenly deity body came out, holding the Immortal Origin after exploding the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord and the black-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord. The other hand held the deformed Long Shenwu, whom he tossed away.
A ferocious aura radiated into the surroundings. The heavenly deity body was completely different. There was no blood or flesh, only white bones. His crimson eyes shone with an overwhelming resentment and hatred.
“I’m back! I’m back! It’s all mine! Mine! Hah!”
The heavenly deity body let out a ferocious roar.
