Just like the last time he went upstream in time, at the time when the Tianming Sect was destroyed, he was blocked by the shadow covering the long river of time.
At the end of the Shang Dynasty, there was a chaos of destiny, and the terrifying Dao marks were eternal. Time, cause and effect, etc. all ended here, and then originated again.
From the perspective of the long river of time, the time of the earth has been divided into two stages. One is from the appearance of the earth to the war at the end of the Shang Dynasty, and the other is from the war to the present, when a split occurred.
Strictly speaking, this long river of time has been broken into two halves.
However, this kind of split is unobservable to mortals, and only people like Zhou Qing can see it.
Zhou Qing also suspected that this world might have been destroyed during the war at the end of the Shang Dynasty and was recreated later.
Those traces of the power of destiny have hindered all investigations from later generations, so that the truth of the war at the end of the Shang Dynasty is forever buried deep in history, and the older years are also covered with a veil of darkness that no one can see.
Zhou Qing is only a Yuan realm now. If he were in other ordinary worlds, then the Yuan realm could indeed interfere with time. Even stepping into history and fighting with historical figures would have no problem.
Of course, it is still impossible to change history. The more traces the Heavenly Venerate Realm leaves in history, the more severe the backlash from the long river of time will be. Every interference in the past will be subject to many restrictions.
Even if you do nothing, as long as you are in history, you will be excluded.
If you really want to try to kill a powerful person in history, it will be impossible to succeed. You will suffer a backlash that is enough to kill you, and encounter various accidents.
This is undoubtedly a special situation. It is obviously unrealistic to break the blockade of these destiny forces and see the truth only by relying on the cultivation of Yuan Realm.
Not to mention him, even a normal Taoist master couldn't do this if he came here.
"But at least I know one thing. The world where the Earth is located is indeed special. In the past, something must have happened on this planet, or something must have been born that attracted an unspeakable existence."
"Those soldiers of destiny also know about this world. They may know some information about my origins."
Zhou Qing looked at the terrifying Shang Dynasty time and space, thinking silently in his heart:
"After the great war at the end of the Shang Dynasty, the extraordinary practice on Earth gradually disappeared, and the saints also left here. Did they achieve their goal?"
There must be a reason for the sacred melee. It is impossible for them to come to Earth to fight for no reason.
Not to mention those beings, even mortals would not fight without any reason.
"The fragments of the Xuanhuang Seal are needed to open the entrance to this world. Does that mean that the person who hid this world is the one from the Tianming Sect?"
"Have the people behind the other Tianming Dao Sect tacitly agreed to this, or is there something else going on?"
"If it is really the one from the Tianming Sect who sealed and hid this place, preventing others from entering, doesn't that mean that he is very likely the final winner of the Shang Dynasty War and has obtained ownership of this world?"
This is easy to understand, and based on this, Zhou Qing can make further inferences:
"The one from the Tianming Sect sealed this world, and this place has become his territory. So, will I, who was born in this world, have any connection with him..."
Zhou Qing shook his head slightly. The various clues were like tangled threads, so complicated that they could not be sorted out.
Because some key clues are currently missing.
For example: What exactly caused the war at the end of the Shang Dynasty?
This reason is the key to everything.
The answers to questions such as why destiny has come to this world, the great war at the end of the Shang Dynasty, and why this world is hidden, are all closely related to this reason.
The most important thing is that Zhou Qing came to Earth, firstly to see his hometown, and secondly to find a way to prove himself as a Taoist master. The latter is more important.
Now that he has seen the Taoist method in his hometown, Zhou Qing really has no clue.
Because now it seems that everything he has discovered is of no help to him in becoming a Taoist master.
But the golden finger of [Predicting the Future] does indeed guide us in this way.
"I must be missing something. Where is the turning point..."
Gradually, Zhou Qing had an idea in his mind.
Since it was the golden finger that guided him here, then the turning point might be the same.
And it just so happened that Zhou Qing’s golden finger was about to be refreshed.
He dissipated his power and no longer maintained the reversal of time.
Zhou Qing entered the earth again and walked in some ancient holy places, such as Kunlun Mountain.
Although it was previously determined through perception that there was nothing abnormal in these places, there are too many ways in the world that can hide from perception, not to mention that there is obviously a big secret here on Earth.
Some things can only be reassuring if you see them with your own eyes and check them carefully.
Kunlun Mountain, the ancestor of all mountains and the hometown of all gods, has endless legends in the history of this country. Even in mythology, Kunlun's status is top-notch.
Especially after knowing that the Three Pure Ones really appeared on Earth, Zhou Qing paid more attention to this place.
Perhaps we can find some clues in this land of all gods.
…
Four nights later, Zhou Qing stood on the top of Mount Tai and looked at the starry sky.
The stars billions of light years away flickered in his eyes and then went into annihilation.
Compared with ordinary creatures, stars can be called eternal, but under the power of time, everything will decay, and the "death" of stars is only "a moment".
In the past four days, Zhou Qing went to many places on Earth, using various means to conduct explorations, trying his best.
Unfortunately, all the secrets were completely buried and nothing real has been passed down.
A moment later, the refreshed information of the golden finger appeared in front of Zhou Qing.
[Get a cheat code refresh count and start refreshing]
【Last month’s golden finger: Void Holy Spirit】
[Refreshing...]
【Refresh completed】
【This month’s golden finger: Historical ghost】
[Life Points: 24]
[Locking Gold Finger: Avenue Crucible]
[Permanent Gold Finger 1: Immortal Light of the Soul]
[Permanent Gold Finger 2: Xiantian Holy Land]
[Permanent cheat code 3: None]
[Do you want to use your life points to extract the golden finger you once had? ]
Zhou Qing has been walking in the void for half a year, but during this period, he still has no golden fingers worth keeping permanently, and the third permanent position is still vacant.
At this point, Zhou Qing had an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if something was reminding him that the third golden finger, which was worth keeping forever, had not appeared yet, so he should not use up the third permanent position hastily.
This feeling came inexplicably, and Zhou Qing was not sure whether it was true or not, but there was no golden finger worth keeping forever, so it would be okay to wait.
Maybe there will be surprises in the future.
[Avenue Furnace] can still be used for about half a year and will not disappear for the time being.
Last month's cheat code [Holy Spirit of the Void], you can tell what type of cheat code it is just by looking at the name. It is the same as the previously released [Holy Spirit of Wood] and [Holy Spirit of Ten Thousand Paths]. They all allow Zhou Qing to possess a Holy Spirit-like essence and various talents, but this one corresponds to the Way of the Void.
It matches the void environment very well, but this golden finger is obviously not worth keeping permanently.
“The Ghost of History.”
After silently repeating the name of the golden finger in his mind, Zhou Qing knew that he had most likely "randomly" obtained a golden finger that could help him with his current situation.
My cheat code is so random! [Historical Ghost: History is endless, and dust is endless, burying all people and things from ancient times to the present. There must be shadows under the sun, and there are gaps in history. You will become a ghost that shuttles through the gaps in history, and become a part of history. You can appear in various periods of history at will, and you will not be affected by people and things in history, nor can you affect history. Remember, you are just a ghost, a historical ghost, located in history, but outside of reality]
"really……"
Zhou Qing nodded. His previous inference was correct. The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. The problems caused by the golden finger still need to be solved by the golden finger.
[Predict the Future] This golden finger gave him guidance and told him what to do.
The golden finger [You can't see me] helped him to successfully obtain the fragments of the Xuanhuang Seal. Without it, Zhou Qing would not have been able to come and go freely in Tianxu.
After he arrived on Earth, when he was at a loss for the key clue, it was not surprising that the golden finger took effect again.
【Historical Ghost】can just solve the problem that the time and space at the end of the Shang Dynasty cannot be peeped into, allowing Zhou Qing to understand the real reason for the battle of destiny.
Judging from the current situation, Zhou Qing estimated that in the third future scene, that is, the one where he was "killed" by the Tai Chi diagram, he should also have a special golden finger to help him.
Looking at the information refreshed by the golden finger, Zhou Qing suddenly smiled.
"It seems that everything is destined."
Looking back, we can find that the golden finger played a very important guiding role in Zhou Qing's growth process, and often led him in a certain direction.
Zhou Qing did not have any aversion to this, after all, the help that the golden finger had given him was obvious to all.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
Without the golden finger, there would be no manifestation of destiny. In just over twenty years, he was promoted to the Great Celestial Lord of the Yuan Realm.
This thing has been helping him, there is no doubt about that. It is also normal for it to guide his direction. Zhou Qing can accept it.
At least before Golden Finger showed his malicious intent, Zhou Qing would not have any ungrateful thoughts.
In life, we are led by all kinds of people along the way.
When you were a child, your parents guided you, and then your teachers, friends, and so on. But in Zhou Qing's case, the guide became a golden finger, and there is not much difference in essence.
[Do you want to use your life points to extract the golden finger you once had? ]
Zhou Qing denied this prompt, and the golden finger refresh ended here.
[Historical Ghost] is also a golden finger that can be turned on and off actively. Zhou Qing did not hesitate and directly turned on [Historical Ghost].
Zhou Qing's body twisted, became fuzzy for a moment, and then returned to normal.
But from Zhou Qing's perspective and feelings, the world is different.
The world lost its color and turned gray. To Zhou Qing, everything seemed old and time-worn.
At the same time, Zhou Qing also felt that he was out of tune with this world. He was clearly here, but it seemed as if he was living in a crack, separated from the real world by a layer.
The long river of time flows in Zhou Qing's eyes. He now has an instinctive ability to locate a period of history, and then directly descend into that period of time and space through the gaps in history.
Unlike relying on the cultivation of Yuanjing Da Tianzun to forcibly interfere with history, doing so will not cause any rejection in the long river of time.
Historical ghosts are themselves part of history, but you also need to remember that you are just a ghost.
Zhou Qing set his sights on the end of the Shang Dynasty, took a step forward, and descended directly into that era.
In Zhou Qing's eyes, this period of time and space was also gray, like an old photo.
In addition, Zhou Qing also discovered that this period of time and space was stagnant.
The clouds in the sky are motionless, and the humans on the ground are doing various postures but staying quietly in the same place. Everything is stagnant, as if time has stopped and the pause button has been pressed.
This is not a change caused by the arrival of Zhou Qing, the "historical ghost", but because this space and time itself is in such a state.
However, it did not affect Zhou Qing's activities, and he was still able to walk freely.
Zhou Qing, in the state of historical ghost, is unable to interfere with history in any way. He cannot even pick up a piece of stone from this era.
But on the other hand, nothing in history could affect him.
Even if Zhou Qing stayed in the middle of the battlefield between two powerful men, all kinds of magical powers would not be used on him. The two seemed to be in completely different dimensions.
However, this era is different. There exists a power beyond common sense and imagination. He is not sure whether that power can have an impact on Zhou Qing.
After all, that is an unimaginable and unfathomable realm.
Zhou Qing raised his head and looked towards the sky.
In the stagnant world, besides him, there was another thing, or a type of thing, moving.
That was a great war that had no record in ancient history.
In the sky, the Zhu Xian Sword Formation was set up, ending the past, present and future. The Yuanshi Banner, Tai Chi Diagram and others were trapped in the formation, and the two sides understood the confrontation.
At the same time, several other destiny weapons, such as the Taiyi Bell and the Human Emperor Sword, were also constantly fighting.
Except for the few magic weapons of destiny in the Nine Netherworlds and the Xuanhuang Seal, all the weapons of destiny in the void heavens are here.
The heavens were created in such a collision, and were instantly annihilated by the terrifying force.
The long river of time has been evaporated and broken more than once, but it has also been reshaped by new forces.
Even the avenue that spanned the void was shattered in this battle, only to be reborn in subsequent battles.
This was a battle beyond imagination. The battle scenes that Zhou Qing could see were only what he could understand at the moment.
There were also many battle scenes that were beyond his comprehension, difficult to describe, and beyond everything.
Logically speaking, such a horrific battle should destroy not only the Earth, but the entire world and even the entire void.
But apart from being frozen, the Earth was not affected any further, because that great battle belonging to the realm of destiny seemed to take place on Earth, but was actually on another level.
It's just that the relevant images appeared on Earth and were then observed by Zhou Qing. In fact, this world and their battlefield are separated by infinite distance, a distance that can be said to be impossible to cross.
That is the realm of destiny, not within the heavens, nor in the ordinary world.
This was somewhat beyond Zhou Qing's expectations. He initially thought that the earth might have been destroyed in the war at the end of the Shang Dynasty and was later reshaped. Now it seems that such a thing did not happen.
In the battlefield in the realm of destiny, Zhou Qing did not see anyone. It seemed that only the soldiers of destiny were colliding, but he knew that this was not the case.
From Zhou Qing's perspective, the battle taking place in the Realm of Destiny involved many sudden and unplanned attacks, and at the same time, each Destiny weapon showed signs of being manipulated.
It was as if there were a few "invisible people" that Zhou Qing couldn't see, also fighting.
Zhou Qing understood what was going on. Those "invisible people" that he could not see were none other than the bearers of destiny who had disappeared in history.
He once refreshed a golden finger called [Great Dream of Past and Present], which could generate a dream that included all the real history of the past and present, and then Zhou Qing could experience life after life in the dream.
In most cases, dreams of the past and present are exactly the same as real history, except for one thing, which is different.
That is, the figures of those who carry the destiny cannot be seen in dreams. They exist in history, but we cannot see them.
This is exactly the same as the current situation.
Living beings carry the destiny, and when they disappear, they will disappear completely, without a trace in the long river of time, and without a trace in history or the future.
Zhou Qing didn't know why this phenomenon occurred.
These people who bear the destiny seem to have transcended the nothingness and void, and are like the eternal world of the heavens.
Looking at the battlefield in the realm of destiny, Zhou Qing's heart was throbbing. This was a power that was enough to destroy the entire void and bring an end to everything and a new life.
And this time's journey through time, Zhou Qing also solved a long-standing puzzle among the powerful people in the world.
That is, are those disappeared bearers of destiny still alive?
Now it seems that they are not only still alive, but can also fight in the world, but they have never appeared in front of the world.
At the same time, Zhou Qing also discovered that during the Shang Dynasty, the cultivation environment on Earth was actually quite good.
Although it is not as good as the Destiny Period, it is not much worse than the Xuanhuang Realm of the previous Dharma Ending Period.
Such an environment is enough to support the birth of immortals, and there are immortals among the living beings on Earth today.
If it had developed normally, then it would never have happened that from the end of the Shang Dynasty to the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the strength of the Earth's cultivation world would have dropped from the upper limit of the Immortal Realm to the upper limit of the Yin God True Blood Realm.
