Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 246 - 240: Su Mu’s Power! Awe-Inspiring Through the Ages, Beyond Comprehension

Chapter 246: Chapter 240: Su Mu’s Power! Awe-Inspiring Through the Ages, Beyond Comprehension

Upon hearing this, Su Mu was momentarily stunned and gave a bitter smile.

"Let’s see if there’s a chance in the future."

He still felt somewhat uneasy because he couldn’t leave this river and go anywhere else.

"Then we’ll be waiting with great expectations for your gracious visit at Beidou."

With those words, Ye Fan and the other two left.

...

At this very moment, in some inconspicuous time and space, three supreme beings were wandering.

The three of them didn’t dare to return to the River of Time, fearing that Su Mu might seek accountability, so they kept roaming in a time and space that didn’t belong to them...

"Are we going to keep hiding here?" the burly man growled.

"What else can we do?"

"Do you dare to go back?"

"Even the ’master’ was captured and questioned, we are accomplices in this unauthorized crossing. What will you do if that senior holds us accountable?" the silver-haired man sighed heavily, looking utterly disheartened.

"Big sister, what should we do..." the burly man asked the leading Golden Armor Empress.

The two of them looked at the Golden Armor Empress, their expressions very complicated.

.....

"There’s only one way, and that’s to endure."

"Endure until we reach our original timeline..."

The Golden Armor Empress gazed at the void, sighing softly.

Because Su Mu’s deterrent power was too great, they didn’t dare step onto the River of Time to return to the future timeline.

There’s only one way: to wait for the flow of time to bring us back to the future...

"Go into seclusion, everyone."

"Until the future arrives, you’re not to emerge or alter the course of any events. It will affect future causes and effects and might even lead to our demise."

The Golden Armor Empress instructed the two.

And so, the three supreme beings lay dormant in this fragment of time and space, waiting for the future to come.....

Little did they know, Su Mu had no intention of pursuing accountability to a great extent, perhaps only demanding ten times the treasure at most, but the three of them didn’t dare to gamble; such is the plight of the "little people."

In the eyes of countless individuals, they are "big people," but to the man guarding the River of Time, they are just "little people."

"Little people" dare not speculate on the thoughts of big people; even the slightest movement of a big person could scare them half to death...

...

Meanwhile, somewhere in the void of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Here, it was utterly dark; small points of light drifting in the void were but fragments shattered into grains of Law Fragments....

A man in a black robe appeared in the void, hidden in the darkness, with only his silhouette faintly visible.

The next second, several raspy and ethereal voices emerged, questioning the man in the black robe: "Why is he still around? Did we fail?"

Facing the inquiries from these voices, the man in the black robe sighed heavily and recounted the causal chain of events.

Upon hearing that the man in the black robe not only failed in his mission but also was forced to sign a debt note, one of the voices couldn’t hold back and laughed aloud: "Hahahahaha!"

"Old Nine, what excuses have you invented to cover up the failure of your mission?"

"A River Guardian of the River of Time?"

Upon hearing this, the man in the black robe angrily retorted: "Brother Qi, how long has it been since you set foot on the River of Time? Your news is too outdated!"

"If you don’t believe me, you can take a look at the River of Time yourself!"

"But don’t go without a return."

.....

"Recently, I’ve also heard some rumors stating there’s indeed a mighty and mysterious man on the River of Time who robs the Cross River Man."

"What Old Nine said might be true, there is a mysterious and powerful man on the River of Time."

"However, I feel that the person does exist, but claiming he’s ’guarding the River of Time’ is a bit exaggerated."

"I believe it’s merely someone who has mastered certain special Time Laws, throwing their weight around on the River of Time."

Just then, yet another imposing voice resounded.

"Second brother is right; guarding the River of Time? What a joke!"

"Across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, who dares to claim they’re guarding the River of Time?"

"That’s the River of Time! The Supreme River of Laws!"

Another voice began to echo in agreement.

...

Seeing that everyone was half-believing his words, the man in the black robe flung his sleeve in anger: "Believe it if you want!"

"Anyway, I’ve explained the causes and consequences to you."

At that moment, a Black Dragon appeared in the area, addressing the few figures in the void: "Venerable Lords, for some unknown reason, his power has increased greatly, and he’s already killed hundreds of our generals!"

The "him" in the words referred to Huang.

The increase in Huang’s power was due to them failing to kill Huang of the past; instead, it triggered Huang’s greater yearning for power, resulting in a stronger Huang in the future.

But there was yet another reason they were unaware of.

It was that after witnessing the man’s strength in the River of Time, Huang had a goal in mind, which was to catch up with that man.

"Old Nine, look at the mess you’ve made!"

With those words, the black-robed man became instantly displeased: "Is this my fault?"

"You sure talk big standing there! Why don’t you go yourself!"

....

"Today, I refuse to believe it. Wait for my news."

"I will personally go to the River of Time!"

"I want to see what kind of monstrous fiend is wreaking havoc on the River of Time."

Having said so, the shadow soared into the air, vanishing into the void and heading towards the River of Time.

Moreover, he went in person, not using an avatar.

Seeing Brother Qi’s true self heading forward, the man in the black robe hurriedly called out: "Don’t go!"

But it was too late; the other had already vanished into the void.

....

The time in this world passed swiftly over several decades.

For them, several decades was far too quick, almost in the blink of an eye, it had passed.

"Why hasn’t Brother Qi returned yet?"

"Could something really have gone wrong?"

One of them said worriedly.

Logically speaking, just a glance at the River of Time shouldn’t take this long, right?

Only Old Nine, with a troubled look, knowing Brother Qi’s temper, feared that if he confronted that senior on the River of Time, even his life might be at risk...

The most critical point was, he had gone in person, leaving himself no retreat at all.

Even when he sent an avatar, he treaded with extreme caution because, given that senior’s abilities, even if it was just an avatar, the senior could easily find the real body.

Hence, once provoked, there would be no place for him across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

......

Finally.

A few more years passed.

A loud bang echoed out.

Everyone lifted their heads, looking towards the void.

On this day, the void twisted as if something was crawling out.

"Is it Brother Qi?"

"It’s his aura!"

"What’s happened to him?"
