Chapter 707: Space-Time Administration
A vast and boundless misty river flows down from an unreachable origin, never stopping.
At the forefront of the long river of time and space is the only real point in the world. Every time it moves forward a time scale, the endlessly distorted fog of the future will become clearer.
While the long river of time and space is opening up the future, it is also constantly splitting timelines until it is endless. New timelines are born and old timelines are annihilated.
Or it was inexplicably shattered; or it was cut off and restarted by a terrifying giant hand that suddenly appeared; or a towering figure stepped out, scanning the long river of time and space with a grim gaze, and then the timeline centered on it suddenly collapsed into a point, and the form of existence instantly jumped out of the "event horizon", leaving no trace, only a vague figure, forever engraved on that time and space node...
All of this, the infinite myriad things, are under the observation of one gaze.
In the long river of time and space, at the point of reality, stands a towering temple, its shape cannot be described, its size cannot be known.
The temple always keeps in sync with the point of truth, held up by the long river of time and space. Every time it moves a time node, a blurry afterimage will be left behind it.
The afterimage of the temple is endless and continuous. Looking back from afar, the traces of its existence lead to the birthplace of the heavens, the source of time, and the beginning of everything.
The existence of the temple is imperceptible. In the absolute distortion, the plaque hanging in front is extremely clear, even eye-catching, so that anyone who sees it cannot ignore it.
There are five large and ancient characters inscribed on the plaque - Space and Time Administration.
Directly above the temple, there is a floating golden vertical pupil called the "Eye of Time and Space", which is covered with bright lines, glowing with divine light, with a vast aura and an indifferent gaze.
The vertical pupil rotates slowly, scanning the long river of time and space inside and outside without stopping. Except for a few special areas, all timelines cannot escape its gaze.
Suddenly, the Eye of Time and Space paused slightly, as if it had sensed something, and suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light, along with the endless afterimages, which also shone brightly, illuminating the long river of time and space for a moment.
Such a big commotion even attracted the beings in those special areas to cast inquiring glances.
Under the oppression of the terrible will, the long river of time and space stopped for a moment. Infinite dimensions, parallel universes, endless creatures, except for existences beyond time, all stagnated along the long river of time and space, and a period of time was stolen from them.
After a long time, the golden light of the Eye of Time and Space dissipated, those terrifying gazes slowly retreated, and the frozen river of time and space resumed flowing.
Inside the Space-Time Administration Bureau, in the empty hall, busy figures were shuttling back and forth. The atmosphere was solemn and strict.
Looking closely, these figures are only slightly human-like. They seem to be made up of gorgeous lines. Each line is repeatedly experiencing the birth and death of a world. All the lines are gathered together and entangled in a golden vertical pupil in a head that is like a nebula vortex.
They are the foundation of the Space-Time Administration—Space-Time Observers, also known as “Line People”, ghosts wandering in time, maintainers of the time order…
"Huh?"
A figure stopped on the spot, a hint of doubt seemed to flash in his indifferent pupils, and then his sight connected with the Eye of Time and Space, and glanced at the long river of time and space.
"Strange, why is there a change in the long river of time and space? It seems that there are unknown changes in the future."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and a curtain of light appeared, with terrifying figures flashing across it.
"At this time point, there are seventeen people in the reporting bureau who are trying to converge the timeline and break through the eleventh realm. All their traces can be traced back and have been archived. The director has also reviewed it and signed the decree. The unusual movement just now was not caused by them..."
"Moreover, no creatures from the outside world have descended upon this world at this node, and none of the neighboring 13,000 heavens and myriad worlds have submitted cross-border applications."
"Based on this, it can be judged that there is an existence beyond the records that has disturbed the river of time and space. The possibility that it is a stowaway from the Black Disaster cannot be ruled out."
"If it is really a black disaster, it is very likely caused by that incident. This matter is very serious and needs to be reported to the director immediately..."
According to a specific procedure, the observer waved away the light curtain, and his figure twisted and collapsed, disappearing in an instant.
This scene did not affect the countless time and space observers who were still busy in the boundless hall.
They constantly travel back and forth between timelines, correcting the disordered time, and directly destroying and restarting the messed timeline, playing a game of cat and mouse with the "time criminals".
…
The Bird Prison Empire, the deepest part of the sky prison.
Bai Donglin truly appeared in this world. His past did not exist in the long river of time, which means that there was no "file" of him. This disturbed the long river of time and space, causing unknown changes in the future, which led to the scene in the Space-Time Administration.
Li You and the frightened prisoners naturally didn't know any of this, and they didn't even know that time and space had stopped for a moment.
Boom boom
The trembling earth slowly calmed down, the smoke and dust settled, and the people who had held their breath finally came to their senses.
Gurgle!
"Big, big boss... No! Master, Master! Please save your poor disciple! Those evil people took advantage of your retreat and arrested your disciple and brought him to this damn place without asking any reason!"
"Not only did you imprison me, but you also let these horrible guys bully your only disciple. If I die, who will inherit your supreme legacy?"
Li You prostrated himself on the ground, kneeling in front of Bai Donglin, crying heart-wrenchingly, with tears streaming down his face. While crying and shouting, he pointed with his finger at the ninth-level prisoner who was looming in the black fog.
Li You's words were false, but his sorrow was real. Who did he offend? He just spent all his savings to buy a stone tablet through formal channels!

In a short period of time, he faced life-and-death crises several times and was threatened by that bastard Qiu Chi. It would be strange if he didn't feel aggrieved.
Li You had no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure. He naturally knew that there was something wrong with the mysterious man who suddenly appeared in the system space in front of him, and he couldn't even respond to the outside world. But the prisoners didn't know that if they wanted to survive in front of these lunatics, they had to use the tiger's skin and raise the banner.
"Master!"
"If my disciple dies, it will be because of these guys. When you come out of seclusion, you must avenge me!"
Whoosh——
The many figures standing in the fog all trembled, causing the fog to surge and roll endlessly.
They were all genuine ninth-order powerhouses, so they were naturally insightful and could clearly sense the grief and grievances in Li You. In addition, the terrifying existence suddenly appeared from the vortex between Li You's eyebrows, which made them believe these words.
After all, no one wants to be like the black dog, dying inexplicably and becoming a dead dog.
"Boy! Stop slandering me! We have no grudge against you, so why would we want to harm you? We rushed over just now because we saw that Black Dog wanted to kill you, so we wanted to save you."
"Yes, yes, yes. We have been imprisoned here for endless years and have long since changed our ways. We cannot stand seeing blood."
"Amitabha! I am devoted to Buddhism and have always been afraid of harming the lives of ants, so how could I call for fighting and killing? Little donor, you misunderstood."
A bald man with a rough face, his hands clasped together in an awkward manner, and the skull necklace with a faint glow around his neck made people doubt the truthfulness of his words.
"real?"
Li You blinked, sat up, wiped away the tears that she had forced out, and leaned close to Bai Donglin.
"Of course it's true!"
The prisoners nodded solemnly and glanced at the dignified Bai Donglin out of the corner of their eyes. They were even more frightened as the tragic death of the black dog was still vivid in their minds.
Damn it, facing such a terrifying existence, they can only abandon their past evil ways and become vegetarians and pray to Buddha.
