I Only Marry Widows

Though the Nine Nether Demon Subduing Venerate was still somewhat unwilling, he didn’t pursue further questions, in the end, his strength was inferior.

If he could have suppressed Red Dog, no matter how powerful the other’s background, he wouldn’t have easily handed over the Fourth Grade Talisman Decree.

"Forget it, I won’t argue with him."

The Nine Nether Demon Subduing Venerate snorted, and directly led his many Divine Generals toward the Celestial Demon Continent.

...

At this moment in the Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Palace, Lu Chengfeng’s expression changed drastically, as he watched with wide eyes a moonbeam shoot out from Luo Suyi’s forehead, resonating with the Talisman Decree of the Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Venerate, sealing the entire palace.

The hazy mist carried an indescribable aura, and he even felt that this mist sealed off the Power of Time, making this place seem to transcend the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements, where even time had halted.

What shook him even more was a goddess holding a golden scroll with azure skies behind her, protected by the phantoms of Ten Thousand Gods, emerging from Luo Suyi’s forehead.

Although he had never seen this goddess with his own eyes, as soon as she appeared, he instinctively blurted out, "Cyan Nether Celestial Venerable?!"

"Hehe, correct, you still recognize me!" The Cyan Nether Celestial Venerable spoke without a trace of ancient solemnity, but rather with the liveliness of a young girl.

"You, how do you appear here?" Lu Chengfeng suddenly recalled the abnormalities around Luo Suyi, the incredible progress during their Dual Cultivation, and the changes of the Sun and Moon Gourd.

He couldn’t help but ask, "What exactly is your relationship with Suyi?"

"I am her, but she is not me." The Cyan Nether Celestial Venerable replied with a smile, "You don’t have to worry, since you’ve come here, what you should know, I will naturally tell you everything."

Lu Chengfeng steadied his mind and glanced at the suddenly slumbering Luo Suyi. After careful examination, he found she seemed to have just fallen asleep, with no other harm, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"If the Celestial Venerable has any instructions, please say so directly. If there’s anything I am capable of, I certainly won’t refuse."

"You sly one, don’t try those little tricks in front of me." The Cyan Nether Celestial Venerable looked at him with a half-smile, "I have no demands of you, just wish to tell you one thing."

"The Time Divine Techniques that awoke within you, do you really believe is purely by chance?"

Lu Chengfeng couldn’t help but feel his heart skip, "What does the Celestial Venerable mean by this?"

"Don’t you find it strange? With your cultivation and strength, how could you directly see the future of a Celestial Emperor? And implicate ten thousand years, gaining mastery over time through such an opportunity."

The words of the Cyan Nether Celestial Venerable sent surging waves through Lu Chengfeng’s heart, one of his deepest secrets never shared with anyone, yet the other knew about it.

However, after the Cyan Nether Celestial Venerable mentioned it, she changed the subject, saying, "The reason you can wield the Power of Time is because you obtained a portion of the authority of Sun and Moon Heaven."

"Sun and Moon Heaven?" Lu Chengfeng’s heart stirred, recalling the scene of Sun and Moon Heaven he saw upon breakthrough, realizing he could directly communicate with it, drawing upon the Profound Yellow Qi from within.

"Yes, Sun and Moon Heaven is the source of time in the Three Realms, the primordial division of Yin and Yang at the dawn of creation, the origin of time and the beginning of all things."

The Cyan Nether Celestial Venerable explained slowly: "In a certain era of time, as long as one reaches the realm of Celestial Venerate, they can touch upon time, enter Sun and Moon Heaven, and trace the past and future."

"In Sun and Moon Heaven, these Celestial Venerates could even converse with extremely ancient beings or those from the future."

"But until one day, a major event occurred, and everything changed..."

She sighed lightly: "The sun and moon in Sun and Moon Heaven represent the dual essence of time, the future and the past respectively."

"The Great Sun is the future, and Ming Yue is the past."

"Yet one day, the sun and moon developed spirituality, no longer being mere expressions of Dao, but becoming living beings with wisdom and emotion."

"Merely because of certain reasons, Sun and Moon came into conflict, and after a great battle, they parted ways."

"The Sun sought every means possible to devour the Moon, to gain the authority of the Moon, thereby wielding the entirety of the past and future, controlling the past and future of the Three Realms, becoming the supreme existence within."

"If one cannot transcend time, they would become his puppet, at the whims of his manipulation and play."

Lu Chengfeng’s gaze tightened, "Are you saying, the Celestial Emperor I saw in the ten-thousand-year future memory, is the being after the Great Sun’s enlightenment?"

The Cyan Nether Celestial Venerable nodded and said, "Indeed, the future you saw is both real and illusionary to some extent."

"That is a future fixed by the Great Sun with its authority over the future, and it seeks to make that future a reality."

"Manifesting the future into reality?" Lu Chengfeng said in some confusion.

"Correct, the Great Sun, holding the future authority of the Three Realms, can lock a particular future, making it something that must happen, even drawing on the power of the future."

The Cyan Nether Celestial Venerable said: "If not for the Moon’s obstruction and resistance, all that you have seen would already have become reality."

"It is precisely because of the Moon’s obstruction that he hasn’t fully succeeded, though he locked that particular future as the mainstream, it still requires gradual evolution and is not inevitable."
