A time rift suddenly opened up above the ruins of Heaven.
A grayish-white figure fell to the ground. When Zuo Qing and the others saw this scene, they were stunned at first, and then they immediately used broken wood to support their bodies and stumbled forward.
"Is it Wang Mian?" Wu Laogou asked in confusion, "Didn't he go back to change history? Why did he fall from the sky?"
Zuo Qing frowned and leaned over to Wang Mian. Just as he was about to investigate something, the latter started coughing violently.
“Cough cough cough…”
"Wang Mian, why are you back? What happened?"
"It's An... ahem... An Qingyu." Wang Mian sat up weakly from the ground and looked up at the crack in the sky that was gradually closing. "He stood at the end of that timeline and warned me not to touch that line... and then used time to rush me back."
"Anqingyu?"
Zuo Qing’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
An Qingyu is the door to truth. He can mobilize part of the power of truth, which naturally includes time and space... In other words, as long as the future An Qingyu sticks to the timeline, they will not be able to change this history?
What on earth is he thinking?!
While Zuo Qing was deep in thought, three streams of light flew in from afar, and the eyes of Wu Laogou beside him lit up.
"It's the Tianzun, the three Tianzun are back."
Three Taoist figures appeared in the sky above the Heavenly Palace.
When the Lord of Morality saw the ruined Heaven beneath his feet, his chest rose and fell violently, and murderous intent poured out of his eyes.
"Heaven... Chaos, this beast!"
Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and sensed for a moment, then his expression relaxed a little: "Fortunately, there are not many casualties, only the palace and some places that breed natural treasures have been destroyed... Hurry up and save them."
Yuanshi Tianzun and Daode Tianzun rushed down from the Heavenly Palace one after another and began to rescue the fallen gods and human ceilings of Daxia. Lingbao Tianzun stood alone in the air, looking down at the messy Heavenly Palace, his fists clenched uncontrollably...
In the fog, [Chaos] and An Qingyu appeared together, which means... An Qingyu was also involved in this scene in heaven?
Lingbao Tianzun was about to go down to save people, but suddenly his eyes caught a glimpse of something and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes!
His figure turned into a stream of light and fell directly to the vicinity of the hole in the heaven. The scattered yellow sand floated above the hole with the wind. The original ground here seemed to have been turned into yellow sand by someone, piercing through the heaven.
"It's him..." Lingbao Tianzun muttered to himself.
The only one who can do this is An Qingyu, who has the ability to deconstruct everything!
Lingbao Tianzun leaned over and picked up a piece of knife handle from the ruins of the palace. He was very familiar with this knife handle, as it was from the Night Watchman's standard straight knife, but the original blade had mysteriously disappeared.
He turned the handle over and saw two words clearly carved on the bottom of the handle:
——Cao Yuan.
Lingbao Tianzun's pupils shrank slightly.
…
"Haven't you found Nanaya yet?"
Zhou Ping walked up to Zuo Qing, carrying a blood-stained sword on his back, and asked worriedly.
After the three Heavenly Lords returned, Heavenly Lord of Morality used elixirs to save many seriously injured and dying Great Xia gods. Some of those whose injuries were not too serious also basically recovered their ability to move.
The ruined palace can be rebuilt and the broken heaven can be repaired. These are not difficult tasks for the gods of Daxia, each of whom has his own strengths. But what is strange is that the gods and human ceilings have searched for a long time but have not found Lin Qiye's soul in the ruins.
Zuo Qing shook his head. "No, but since Tianzun is back, it shouldn't be difficult to find him..."
Before Zuo Qing finished speaking, the voice of Yuanshi Tianzun penetrated the void and fell into his ears.
“Found it.”
Zuo Qing's eyes lit up. He supported himself with a broken piece of wood and hurried towards Yuanshi Tianzun, with Zhou Ping following closely beside him.
They came to the ruined Lingxiao Palace and saw Yuanshi Tianzun standing quietly in the ruins. There was nothing around him except rubble.
"Where is Lin Qiye?"
Yuanshi Tianzun did not say anything, but just looked up at the only remaining part of the roof of the Lingxiao Palace. A blurry figure was standing there blankly, staring into the distance, as motionless as a stone statue.
"What is he...doing?" Zuo Qing was puzzled.
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Lin Qiye with an extremely complicated gaze. After a moment, he slowly uttered two words:
"Heart barrier."
"Heart barrier?" Zhou Ping was puzzled. "What is that?"
"..." Zuo Qing directly ignored Zhou Ping's question and frowned, "He is breaking through the heart barrier? But doesn't he only have a soul body?"
"The heart and soul are interdependent. Even if the body is lost, the heart barrier will still exist." Yuanshi Tianzun explained, "After his soul fell, he must have seen something on the top of the temple, causing the 'heart barrier' to come..."
Zuo Qing pursed his lips slightly as if he had thought of something.
Lin Qiye knew very well what was causing his concern. An Qingyu's betrayal and Cao Yuan's death, any one of these two things would have been enough to have a great impact on his mind. What's more, it was An Qingyu who killed Cao Yuan with his own hands.
He originally wanted to wait for Lin Qiye to wake up, and then conceal the relationship between the two events, and just say that An Qingyu was taken away by [Chaos] and Cao Yuan died in the battle... But he didn't expect that Lin Qiye's soul was actually on the top of the Lingxiao Palace, watching everything.
As the captain of the Night Team, how big of a shock would it be for him to witness his most trusted deputy captain betray and kill Cao Yuan?
"But even if he broke through the 'heart barrier', it should only be a momentary fluctuation of emotions. How could it be stagnant like this?" Zuo Qing asked puzzledly.
"The soul was forcibly shaken out of the body by external forces, and it was like a rootless duckweed, in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness. He could see everything happening in the outside world, but his consciousness was vague, and he could only produce some emotions through the instinct deep in his heart.
When ordinary people encounter the bottleneck of the 'heart barrier', just a momentary emotional fluctuation is enough to reach the ceiling level, but in his state, this is not the case.
His fragile and blurred consciousness, when faced with unprecedented strong emotional fluctuations, would instantly destroy his sanity, as if he were trapped in an eternal nightmare, sinking into the impact of the 'heart barrier'.
Zuo Qing was stunned for a while, "You mean... he is trapped in the 'heart barrier'?"
"That's right."
"What should we do then?"
Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head helplessly, "He can only survive the calamity of the 'heart barrier' by himself. Perhaps, this is the calamity destined for him... The only thing we can do is to rebuild a body for him and lead his soul into it."
"Just like when my body was rebuilt?" Zhou Ping thought thoughtfully.
"So, there should be a suitable body in heaven?"
Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a moment, sighed helplessly, turned around and walked away:
"I have something to get..."
