The Primordial Time-Space King abandoned Ye Ling, traversed the time-space channel, and plunged into the river of time, as if a fish in water, constantly shuttling between the past and future!
"Ye Ling, Tian Ji! When this king returns to the side of the 'Brain,' I will repay the humiliation you two have inflicted upon me a thousandfold!"
As the Primordial Time-Space King shuttled through the river of time, locating the headquarters of the Overseers, he vaguely sensed something was amiss.
"Something's wrong... why is this river of time different from before?"
The Primordial Time-Space King, traversing the river of time, suddenly felt that his surroundings were not right. He couldn't help but stop and carefully examine every era within the river of time.
At this moment, the various time-spaces within the river of time were different from his memories.
"I remember... this universe should have perished thirty million years ago. Why does it appear at this point in time?"
"That universe, I don't recall ever seeing it..."
"This... is not the history of the Primordial Chaos!"
As the king who controlled time and space in the Primordial Chaos, the Primordial Time-Space King knew every second of the history experienced by the Primordial Chaos!
He was intimately familiar with the rise and fall of countless civilizations across the great universes.
Yet, everything happening in the river of time now struck him as incredibly strange.
"Alas... I originally intended to toy with you for a while longer, but I didn't expect your perception to be so sharp."
Suddenly, Ye Ling's voice echoed around the Primordial Time-Space King, causing him to tremble!
"Ye Ling?"
The Primordial Time-Space King looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ye Ling, clad in a black robe, appearing downstream of the river of time, blocking his path.
"You, you..."
Upon seeing Ye Ling's sudden appearance, the Primordial Time-Space King was immediately filled with a sense of foreboding. He quickly turned, intending to escape back upstream in the river of time, but Tian Ji had appeared upstream at some unknown point and was also blocking his path!
"Impossible! How could you possibly catch me in the river of time?"
Seeing Ye Ling and Tian Ji blocking his escape routes, the Primordial Time-Space King's eyes filled with boundless fear, as if he couldn't comprehend what was happening.
"If you had escaped into the true river of time, Tian Ji and I certainly wouldn't have been able to catch you," Ye Ling said with a playful glint in his eyes, chuckling.
"The true river of time?" Hearing Ye Ling's words, the Primordial Time-Space King was stunned. "You mean this is fake?"
"Impossible! As the king who governs time and space, wouldn't I be able to distinguish between the real and fake river of time? Do not attempt to shake my resolve!"
The Primordial Time-Space King declared hysterically, refusing to believe Ye Ling's words!
He was unwilling to admit that he had been deceived in the path of time and space!
"What else would you think?" Ye Ling chuckled, showing no regard for the Primordial Time-Space King's pride. "Under the power of my Origin Script, creating an illusion for you and tricking you into entering a false river of time is simply too easy!"
Ye Ling smiled, and an Origin Script materialized in his palm. Immediately, the entire downstream of the river of time transformed into endless Origin Script characters.
"This, this..."
The Primordial Time-Space King looked at the countless Origin Scripts in terror, then turned to look at Tian Ji. He saw that the upstream of the river of time where Tian Ji stood had also transformed into countless scarlet garbled codes.
The Primordial Time-Space King was thus trapped between the Origin Script and the scarlet garbled codes, with no escape!
Seeing all his retreat paths cut off by Ye Ling and Tian Ji, the Primordial Time-Space King's eyes welled up with despair, and he trembled, "So... you two have been plotting against me all along?"
"It's not exactly plotting... who told you you're the easiest to bully among the three of us?" Ye Ling smiled faintly at the Primordial Time-Space King. "Tian Ji and I both agreed that it's best to take you down first, and then fight each other."
"After all, you could call for reinforcements at any moment."
"I'm the easiest to bully? Hahaha! I, the dignified Primordial King, have now become the easiest to bully?"
The Primordial Time-Space King was stunned at first, then burst into laughter, appearing to have completely broken down!
Following that, the Primordial Time-Space King's expression twisted, and he gritted his teeth, "You both want to devour my power, right?"
"Even if I die, I won't give it to you!"
The Primordial Time-Space King roared, and the time-space power within him rapidly dissipated, his aura plummeting at an astonishing rate.
"You want to die?" Tian Ji merely snorted upon seeing the Primordial Time-Space King about to destroy all his power, then unleashed a large amount of scarlet garbled codes, imprinting them onto the Primordial Time-Space King's entire body.
The Primordial Time-Space King instantly lost control of his power, and only his consciousness was continuously fading.
"Damn it... this king... is not reconciled..."
The Primordial Time-Space King watched as his power was stripped away bit by bit, and he could no longer sense the flow of time. Endless sorrow surged in his heart, and countless images flashed through his mind.
"That is... the era of the first seven kings..."
The Primordial Time-Space King seemed to see himself at the moment of his birth, when... he was favored by the will of the Primordial Chaos and lived carefree.
"I truly wish... I could return to that time..."
The Primordial Time-Space King muttered, and as his consciousness faded, he seemed to see the humanoid form of the Primordial Chaos will beckoning to him.
"Mother... is that you?"
The next moment, the Primordial Time-Space King completely lost consciousness, leaving only pure time-space power encased in scarlet garbled codes.
Ye Ling looked at the time-space power enveloped by the scarlet garbled codes and said to Tian Ji, "Tian Ji, as agreed... we'll split it fifty-fifty."
"Hmph! That depends on whether you have the ability!"
Tian Ji sneered and drew the pure time-space power of the Primordial Time-Space King towards himself.
Ye Ling's eyes turned grim. "So, you intend to swallow it all?"
"Not only will I swallow it all..." Tian Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered at Ye Ling. "I will also kill you!"
Boom!!!
Tian Ji devoured the power of the Primordial Time-Space King in one gulp. The scarlet garbled codes around him instantly surged, overwhelming Ye Ling's Origin Script!
"You disloyal and despicable wretch!" Ye Ling's expression grew even more unsightly, and he cursed sternly.
"For someone like you, who is about to die, there's no need for loyalty!" Tian Ji sneered. "In any case, your power will soon be mine as well!"
With that, the scarlet garbled codes around him transformed into countless sharp swords, preparing to tear Ye Ling apart!
However, just as Tian Ji was about to attack Ye Ling, a beautiful song suddenly echoed around them, causing Tian Ji's expression to change slightly!
"They've arrived?"
Upon hearing the song, Tian Ji instantly retracted all his power and said coldly to Ye Ling, "Consider yourself lucky this time... I hope you can survive, so I can personally slay you next time!"
With that, Tian Ji no longer lingered, transforming into a beam of light and departing.
Ye Ling watched Tian Ji leave, yet he remained unfazed, enveloped by the song.
The next moment, he looked towards the area covered by the Origin Script and asked, "Lan'er, did you get the core power of the Primordial Time-Space King?"
"I got it, Master!"
The song faded, and Bai Lan, holding the core power of the Primordial Time-Space King, emerged from the area covered by the Origin Script, smiling at Ye Ling.
"Master, you're still the smartest!"
