Chapter 411: Lifespan on the Reincarnation Monument, Unclear Future
When the long river of time experienced its first flood, she was the first to notice that the marks on the reincarnation monument had suddenly decreased to only three.
In other words, after this time flood, the myriad worlds will only have three epochs of life left.
But her true body could not go to the long river of time, and she had no way to stop this time flood. She could only watch the time flood destroy countless worlds.
But, what she didn't expect was.
She regarded Su Mu, the river guardian who was regarded as the biggest "anomaly" and would destroy all the worlds in the future, actually took action to stop this time flood!
After he successfully stopped it, the marks on the Samsara Monument were restored. Not only that, they even increased from nine to ten!
In other words, Su Mu successfully extended the lifespan of the heavens and myriad worlds by one more era.
At that moment, Hou Tu was also stunned, a little bewildered, and couldn't see clearly.
The moment Su Mu appeared in the long river of time, only nine traces of the Samsara Monument remained.
But he stopped the time flood, saved countless worlds, and extended the life of all realms by an era.
So in the future, will it be Su Mu who destroys the Ten Thousand Worlds, or someone else?
If it was someone else, who would it be?
Hou Tu had come into contact with the beings who launched the time flood a long, long time ago. Although they have now jumped out of the reincarnation cycle and are no longer under her jurisdiction, they should not have the ability to destroy the entire world.
In fact, in the entire universe, there are some beings that are more "ancient" than Hou Tu Niangniang herself.
Because to be precise, Hou Tu Niangniang was reincarnated 150 million eras ago. Before that, the Road of Reincarnation had always existed. She just merged with the Road of Reincarnation, but she did not give birth to the Road of Reincarnation.
She is just a spokesperson for the Avenue of Reincarnation. Throughout history, there have been several spokespersons for the Avenue of Reincarnation, and she is just one of them.
So, if all the heavens and worlds were really destroyed by some "existence".
Then, those "existences" should be the ancient creatures that existed before Hou Tu reincarnated, that is, 150 million epochs ago.
Because the universe has developed to this day, she doesn't know how many "existences" have escaped from the cycle of reincarnation.
She knew what happened after she became a reincarnated being, but she didn't know how many people escaped from the reincarnation cycle 150 million epochs ago.
Hou Tu knew two of the three "existences" who caused the first time flood, but she also didn't know one of them.
The one she didn't know was probably the one who had already jumped out of the cycle of reincarnation before she herself became part of the path of reincarnation and was no longer in it.
Therefore, the "odd number" that brings all the worlds to an end is either one of those three or Su Mu!
She wanted to find out who the "oddity" was as soon as possible.
He has been testing Su Mu.
Gradually, she discovered that Su Mu seemed to be simply maintaining the order of the river of time, although some of his operations were confusing.
For example, he would intercept some reincarnated beings, extort money from them, and make them owe him "debts" and favors.
She didn't quite understand why this was done.
Later, she observed the reincarnated souls who were blackmailed by Su Mu. After reincarnation, basically every one of them lived a very good life and had very strong luck. They were all sons of luck that were one in billions.
For further verification.
She even differentiated a little bit of her consciousness, transformed into the appearance of a living being, and went to the long river of time, but was intercepted by him as expected.
After intercepting you, there is no difficulty. You just need to pay the "crossing fee". Sometimes, if you don't have a very valuable treasure, he will let you go as long as you show some appreciation.
To sum up, it seems that he intercepted these reincarnated people just to make the river of time more "orderly" and have a set of "principles" formulated by him!
Moreover, what he does every day is very fixed.
From the beginning to the end, he has adhered to one principle, which is to maintain the order of the long river of time and protect the stability and peace of the long river of time. This principle has never changed.
If he was the "outlier" that brought all the worlds to an end, why would he go to such great pains to maintain the stability of the long river of time?
This makes absolutely no sense, it doesn't make sense at all, it's contradictory.
It was not until several years later, when the second, more violent time flood occurred, that Hou Tu completely eliminated her suspicion of Su Mu.
Because of the second time flood, only a trace remained on the reincarnation monument!
This means that after the second time flood, the universe will only have one era left to live.
However, Su Mu still blocked the second time flood and extended the life of the Ten Thousand Worlds for another ten epochs. In the end, the number of traces on the monument was fixed at eleven.
This is also why Hou Tu chose to leave and stand on Su Mu's side.
In fact, there is also an element of gambling in this, because Su Mu is not completely without suspicion. He may be a savior or a destroyer, it all depends on his thoughts.
There were only eleven entries left on the Samsara Monument, and she didn't have time to continue guessing or testing.
A decision has to be made.
So, she bet everything on Su Mu.
She also left the future outcome to fate.
Although she is one with the Road of Reincarnation and can see the cause and effect destiny of countless lives, she cannot see the cause and effect of Su Mu, nor can she see the cause and effect of certain ancient beings, let alone the biggest cause and effect in the future.
The path of reincarnation is not the highest law. It is just one of the three thousand paths, not the highest.
The Avenue of Time, the Avenue of Cause and Effect, and the Avenue of Destiny are all stronger than the Avenue of Reincarnation.
When a person becomes strong enough, he can escape from the cycle of reincarnation and avoid suffering its torture, but he cannot escape fate and cause and effect, let alone time!
Therefore, there are many things that even Hou Tu herself cannot see clearly.
Since she can't see clearly, she will give "it" to the people who can see clearly. After so many years, she seems to be a little tired. She is lonely all the time. If she loses the bet, then she will be annihilated. Maybe it will be a relief for her.
So, today, she was going to hand "it" over to Su Mu.
It is not only a gamble on oneself, but also a gamble on the entire universe.
"One, two, thirty-one."
"Eleven traces in total."
Su Mu looked at the stone tablet and murmured.
His voice also brought Hou Tu's thoughts back to reality.
"Stand over here."
Hou Tu came under the stone tablet and said to Su Mu.
Hearing this, Su Mu also walked under the stone tablet, stood shoulder to shoulder with Hou Tu, facing the stone tablet in front of them.
