future?
The gods were instantly in an uproar. Some frowned, some thought Fang Xiu was talking nonsense, and others looked thoughtful.
Only the Jade Emperor, seated on the throne, remained as calm as a still well, his deep gaze fixed on Fang Xiu, his thoughts unreadable to anyone.
"This is utter nonsense! Who are you to dare trespass into the Lingxiao Palace!" a deity angrily rebuked.
"Speak! What is your purpose?"
"Your Majesty, this person's origins are unknown, and he possesses the Dao of Emptiness, so he is definitely not a good person. Please do not believe his nonsense."
In an instant, countless powerful auras, like divine mountains, pressed down on Fang Xiu.
But before those countless powerful auras could even land, boom!
A thunderous roar echoed through the void as an incomparably majestic figure slowly emerged from behind Fang Xiu. His supreme and holy aura swept across the entire area, accompanied by countless rays of multicolored divine light, almost illuminating the entire Lingxiao Palace.
The gods were instantly horrified.
"The Goddess Nuwa!?"
"This is... a projection of the goddess Nuwa!?"
A stunningly beautiful woman with a human body and a snake tail appeared behind Fang Xiu; it was a projection of Nuwa.
"Fang Xiu is my successor in the future. I have come here today to discuss important matters with His Majesty." A gentle voice echoed in the Lingxiao Palace.
Nuwa nodded slightly to the crowd, and then vanished into the void.
After Nuwa left, a brief silence fell over the Lingxiao Palace. After a moment, immortals exclaimed in low voices, "He is actually Nuwa's successor? Or is he Nuwa's successor in the future?"
"The divine power of the Goddess Nuwa is indeed incredible."
In Heaven, Nuwa's name was particularly useful. After all, she was a top being of the same generation as the Three Pure Ones. With her endorsement, it was even more effective than the Jade Emperor.
Fang Xiu was not worried about the time projection being discovered by others, because what he manifested was a genuine projection containing the divine power of Nuwa, the origin of which could even be traced back to the Nuwa divine essence in the hands of Fang Yao in later generations.
In other words, if someone hadn't absorbed the power from Nuwa's divine essence, no other person with the power of time would have been able to manifest a projection of Nuwa.
After Nuwa appeared, the tide turned immediately, and no one questioned her anymore.
At this moment, the Jade Emperor, whose expression was as calm as a still well, suddenly spoke up: "Fang Xiu, the successor of Nuwa, what brings you here?"
Fang Xiu did not answer directly, but looked at the immortals and gods around him and said indifferently, "I can only tell you about this matter."
Many immortals and gods frowned slightly, but dared not say anything more, after all, this was the decree of the Goddess Nuwa.
The Jade Emperor showed no surprise and calmly nodded: "Agreed."
Immediately, he waved his hand, and the world spun around, and the stars shifted.
Fang Xiu discovered that the space around him had undergone unimaginable changes. The distance between him and the immortals and gods was rapidly increasing, so fast that the images of the immortals and gods shrank infinitely in his eyes and eventually disappeared.
The only things that remain unchanged are him and the Jade Emperor.
The two were in a dazzling starry sky, where countless stars moved along mysterious trajectories, cold and lonely.
This is... a universe from the Nine Dragons Supreme Law!
Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he instantly understood the divine power that the Jade Emperor had just used.
"There are only the two of us here," the Jade Emperor said calmly. "Actually, you are not a descendant of Nuwa; you are lying."
Seeing that he had been exposed, Fang Xiu was not surprised. Instead, he directly admitted, "That's right, I am indeed not a descendant of Nuwa."
A barely perceptible look of surprise flashed in the Jade Emperor's eyes. He clearly hadn't expected Fang Xiu to confess so quickly. He continued, "You just used the power of time to project the Goddess Nuwa from the River of Time."
"Exactly."
"Do you know that I know you are lying, so why did I meet with you alone?"
Fang Xiu nodded and said calmly, "Because of the Nine Dragons Supreme Law."
The Jade Emperor's surprise deepened, mixed with a hint of admiration: "You are very clever. It is because of the Nine Dragons Supreme Technique that I can sense the character 'Zhou' within you. The Nine Dragons Supreme Technique is a method I created myself and have never taught to anyone. In this world, only I can condense the character 'Zhou' and teach it to others."
But I have never done this before, which can only mean that this is something I will do in the future, and that you really are from the future.
"So...you are my future successor?"
Fang Xiu slowly shook his head: "No."
"Oh?" The Jade Emperor asked with slight curiosity, "Then how did you obtain the inheritance of the character '宙'?"
“Dig it out of your future grave.”
Jade Emperor: "......."
Hearing these words, he suddenly felt offended.
He pondered for a moment: "It seems that the situation regarding the invasion from the other side in the future is more serious than imagined; even I am..."
the other side?
Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly. Judging from the meaning behind the Jade Emperor's words, it seemed that he had known about the invasion from the other side for a long time.
"You know about the invasion from the other side?"
A heavy look flashed in the Jade Emperor's eyes: "I am the ruler of the Three Realms, and I am naturally well aware of the changes in the Three Realms. The invasion from the other shore occurred tens of thousands of years ago. At first, a small part of the Heavenly Dao was polluted, but as time went by, the pollution became more and more serious, and it has been reflected on all living beings in the Three Realms."
The reason I didn't attend the Peach Banquet this time is because I've been working diligently to repair the Heavenly Dao, and three Heavenly Venerables have already attained Dao.
"Do the three Celestial Venerables refer to the Three Pure Ones?"
"Indeed, the three Celestial Venerables sacrificed themselves to merge with the Dao and strengthen its power in order to help the Heavenly Dao resist pollution. They are innate beings, close to the Dao itself, and only such beings can directly merge with the Dao."
Fang Xiu immediately thought of the tombs of the gods in Kunlun Mountain in later generations. Indeed, there were no tombs of the Three Pure Ones. It turned out that they had already attained enlightenment in ancient times.
"What is the source of the pollution?" he asked again.
Unexpectedly, the Jade Emperor shook his head: "It is indescribable, ineffable, and imperceptible. Even I can only perceive the pollution through the changes in the Heavenly Dao."
Fang Xiu fell silent, speechless and indescribable. Was his wife truly the source of the pollution?
