Ye You was stunned when he heard Ye Ling's words, looking at Ye Ling in surprise, and asked, "Brother?"
Ye Ling said solemnly, "The lightning that struck Yun Dandan just now gave Yun Dandan a faint power, allowing Yun Dandan to break free from the rune chains in advance and transfer her blood core to her brain."
"Now that Ye Qiao has not completely destroyed Yun Dandan's blood core, Yun Dandan can still be reborn by relying on her vital energy!"
As Ye Ling's voice fell, Yun Dandan, who was constantly falling to the ground, suddenly stopped her movement, and the blood hole in her chest began to heal rapidly.
Two small blood hands grew out from behind her head, and then quickly turned into sharp horns, protecting her head.
Ye You noticed that Yun Dandan's aura began to climb again, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he trembled, "How, how is this possible? That blow didn't kill her?"
Now that Ye Qiao had no spiritual power left in her body, and Yun Dandan had revived, Ye Qiao was bound to lose!
Zhen Hun, who was in Ye Ling's body, had also watched the entire battle and sighed, "The outcome is decided... That lightning strike on Yun Dandan was just a coincidence, but it was such a slim chance coincidence that gave Yun Dandan a glimmer of hope. This trial... it's heaven's will that that girl Ye Qiao shouldn't win."
"Heaven doesn't want Ye Qiao to win?" Ye Ling lowered his head and asked in a deep voice.
Hearing Ye Ling's somber voice, Zhen Hun was startled and asked, "Kid, what do you want to do? The outcome is decided, you should focus on how to save that girl Ye Qiao's life!"
Hiss!
Black demonic energy coiled around Ye Ling, and his entire aura began to climb. He laughed, "Now that the Heavenly Dao consciousness of Earth has gone into seclusion, I am the proxy of the Heavenly Dao. I am the heaven of Earth. The outcome of this trial should be decided by me!"
Zhen Hun was shocked and quickly said, "Kid, are you crazy? The result of this trial cannot be interfered with by outsiders. If you make a move to kill Yun Dandan, then the trial will still be considered Ye Qiao's failure. I don't even know what power those new runes have! If you mess around, I'm afraid Ye Qiao won't even be able to revive!"
Ye Ling looked at Ye Qiao falling in the air, a slight smile on his lips, and said, "Who says I'm going to interfere with this trial?"
Zhen Hun was stunned and asked, "Not interfering with the trial? Then what do you mean?"
Ye Ling summoned the Great Dao of Time and Space, began to distort the surrounding space, and made time flow backward!
Ye You was also extremely shocked to see the surrounding space-time flowing backward and asked Ye Ling, "Brother, what are you trying to do?"
Ye Ling opened the river of time and said, "Yun Dandan hasn't killed Ye Qiao yet, and the trial hasn't concluded. Since Ye Qiao can no longer defeat Yun Dandan, I will intervene from before the trial began!"
Zhen Hun exclaimed, "Kid, absolutely not! This universe is extremely fragile and cannot withstand the power of the Great Dao of Time and Space. If you rashly use the Great Dao of Time and Space to change the past, you might cause Earth to shatter!"
Ye Ling laughed, "Of course I know Earth cannot withstand the changes in time and space. I don't intend to affect Earth's time and space when I go back. I will only modify my own time."
"I have supreme cultivation now, and I have touched the threshold of the Great Dao of Time and Space. I have transcended time myself, and changing my own past will not cause temporal oscillations."
Zhen Hun said, "What's the use of you changing your own past? This trial is aimed at Ye Qiao, and there are new runes in the trial, which are powers equivalent to the Great Dao. Even if you cheat using the Great Dao of Time and Space, this trial will still be detected."
Ye Ling said, "I said, I won't interfere with this trial, I'm just going to replace a participant."
"Replace a participant?"
Zhen Hun was stunned when he heard Ye Ling's words, and then he realized, and exclaimed, "Holy crap! Kid, how did you think of that?"
Amidst Zhen Hun's exclamations, Ye Ling stepped into the river of time and returned to the underground base of the Dragon Department in the past.
At this time, Tian Ling was still researching the inheritance of the Creation God behind the bronze door. The past Ye Ling was leading Ye Qiao and a group of people down from the Dragon Department's elevator.
Ye Ling returned to the past and saw the past "Ye Ling" and Ye Qiao coming out of the elevator. He immediately froze time and space.
After Ye Ling froze time, the past "Ye Ling" who walked out of the elevator turned into an illusion and completely dissipated.
After Ye Ling became Supreme, he became the only true body in the river of time, completely detached from the river of time, and roamed outside of time.
In other words, Ye Ling was no longer affected by the river of time, had no fixed past, only a present and an unknown future.
Even if someone mastered the laws of time and traveled to the past to try to attack Ye Ling as an infant, the enemy they would face would still be Ye Ling in his Supreme state.
Now that Ye Ling had returned to the past, as long as his cultivation was higher than his past self, he would directly replace his past self and act in that time and space on his behalf.
Zhen Hun watched Ye Ling replace his past self and clicked his tongue, "Only you, kid, could think of such a method. Why didn't I think of it?"
Ye Ling walked up to Ye Qiao, let time flow again, and chuckled to Zhen Hun, "Sometimes, you can't be rigid. However, this method is indeed a bit shameless. I wouldn't use it if it wasn't absolutely necessary."
Zhen Hun rolled his eyes and said, "I don't believe you for a second!"
As the two were talking, the stone door at the bottom of the Dragon Department opened again, and Tian Ling stood behind the stone door as before, saying, "Ye Ling, we've been waiting for you for a long time..."
Ye Ling looked at Tian Ling's feigned solemnity and shook his head with a smile, but still acted as he had done before.
This time, Ye Ling only intended to change the trial, and he didn't want to interfere too much with other matters.
While interacting with Tian Ling, Ye Ling noticed a hidden power surging from the stone door and shooting towards Ye Qiao's soul.
It was obvious that that power was the instigator of Ye Qiao's trial.
That power was masked by runes, and with Ye Ling's previous cultivation as a Dao Lord, he couldn't detect it.
However, now, Ye Ling keenly captured that power. When that power was about to touch Ye Qiao, Ye Ling quickly wrapped Ye Qiao's soul with his own soul power, allowing that power to touch his soul power.
Seeing that the power merged with his soul power, Ye Ling's lips curved slightly, and he then merged his soul power into Ye Qiao's soul, allowing Ye Qiao to begin the trial.
"Done!"
After doing all this, Ye Ling froze time around him again, opened the river of time, and left this point in time, returning to his own time and space.
In the capital, it was still a ruin. Ye Qiao was falling in the air, having used up all her spiritual power, while Yun Dandan, who had narrowly escaped death, was continuously recovering her aura with the support of her vast vital energy.
Ye You saw Ye Ling drill into the river of time and then immediately drill out, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother, where did you go?"
Ye Ling smiled and rubbed Ye You's head, looked at Ye Qiao falling in the air, and chuckled, "If this were an exam... my actions would be considered finding a substitute, right?"
"Substitute?"
Ye You was stunned and was about to ask further, but suddenly discovered that Ye Qiao, who should have exhausted all her spiritual power, was now erupting with heaven-shattering soul power!
