Chapter 1468: Reversing the Chaotic River of Time

“No, those god or demon leaders won’t make it here.”

“They know my role well,” Xu Fan said calmly.

In his perception, an invisible supreme force was shielding this area.

Suddenly, a domineering supreme power descended upon the region where the Three Thousand Realms were located.

Before it could act, the avatar of the Holy Light Empire’s leader appeared, shielding the territory.

“Master Xu, within the Holy Light Empire’s domain, no one can harm you,” the leader of the Holy Light Empire declared.

“Thank you for your protection, senior,” Xu Fan replied.

At that moment, on the outskirts of the chaotic center, the twelve Great Saints broke free from the cage formed by the supreme power.

“Retreat! The Holy Lord of the Underworld Clan has already destroyed two god or demon empires. If this continues, reviving the gods or demons will damage their origin,” said the Leader of the Beast God Demon Empire, his expression grim.

“Then we retreat. I didn’t expect these realm beings to outmaneuver us so thoroughly. Not a single key chaotic Great Saint from the major races was killed.”

“Not to mention the primordial artifact masters and formations masters—they were even more heavily guarded,” the Leader of the Great Star God or Demon Empire said darkly.

The leaders exchanged glances and then returned to their respective god or demon empires.

The Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan observed the scene with a calm demeanor.

“Isn’t it better to maintain balance? Why disrupt it?”

“Unless you possess absolute power, it’s clear your minds aren’t up to the task.”

“Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan, you truly are the commander of the great wars from the primordial chaos. Your might rivals that of the Heavenly Merchant Clan’s Holy Lord from back then,” praised the leader of the Holy Light Empire.

“Haha, it’s just that those gods or demons have simple minds. They can’t handle complex problems. They’re easy to predict,” the leader of the Heavenly Merchant Clan said with a faint smile.

“According to reports, in that brief moment, 86,000 large worlds from the thirteen major races were destroyed.”

“To reverse the chaotic River of Time in these areas, the Great Saints will need to contribute their strength,” said the Holy Lord of the Lingxi Tribe.

At that moment, the avatar of the Holy Lord of the Underworld Clan arrived.

“Was the newly ascended god or demon slain?” the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan asked.

“They were slain, but at the source of the chaotic River of Time, the leaders of the nine Great God or Demon Empires protected the causal ties of that god or demon.”

“Whether they were slain or not doesn’t matter much.”

“On the other hand, I destroyed two god or demon empires.”

“Among them, three were primordial artifact masters and four were promising chaotic Great Gods or Demons. I erased all their causal ties in the chaotic River of Time.”

“In comparison, the god or demon empires suffered greater losses.”

Hearing this, many Holy Lords allowed a faint smile to appear.

“It will take time for both sides to recover. During this period, our Underworld Clan will produce another Holy Lord-level powerful being. What do you propose?” the Holy Lord of the Underworld Clan raised the question again.

“When advancing to Holy Lord, we must sign a contract under the laws of causality in the chaotic River of Time.”

“We must pledge never to act against the twelve major races of the chaotic center.”

“This contract will only be dissolved after all god or demon empires are destroyed, the allocations are perfectly balanced, and the major races return to a state of equilibrium.”

“When the time comes, we’ll fight for what needs to be fought,” said the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan after a long pause.

“Do you think the Underworld Clan is easy to push around just because you treat Holy Lord-level beings like this?” the Holy Lord of the Underworld Clan snapped back immediately.

“We’ll offer three top-tier Primordial Supreme Treasures! They’ll match the supreme law of that Underworld powerful being. If not, we’ll have top-tier primordial artifact masters craft them.”

Hearing this, the Holy Lord of the Underworld Clan fell silent.

Top-tier Primordial Supreme Treasures are incredibly rare, even among the greatest Holy Lords, especially ones that align with one’s own supreme law.

Even the Holy Lord of the Underworld Clan had only managed to find six top-tier Primordial Supreme Treasures that matched his supreme law over countless Epochs.

This was why he dared to call himself the strongest among the Holy Lords.

“Fine, but I demand access to your clans’ treasure vaults to pick the top-tier Primordial Supreme Treasures myself,” the Holy Lord of the Underworld Clan said.

“Agreed,” the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan nodded.

With the agreement settled, both sides relaxed.

“Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan, when I unify the Chaotic Mist Area, I’ll keep your clan close as my advisors,” the Holy Lord of the Underworld Clan said with a smirk.

“You might be disappointed. The Heavenly Merchant Clan values freedom and has no interest in becoming a vassal race.”

“But I see potential for collaboration between our clans. In the future, we could join forces to explore other Chaotic Mist Areas. Wouldn’t that be something?” the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan laughed.

“As expected, your Heavenly Merchant Clan is great at deflecting conflicts,” the Holy Lord of the Underworld Clan said before vanishing.

The other Holy Lords also disappeared, returning to their clans to assess the damage.

Three days later, Xu Fan, in a temporary avatar, appeared in a part of the Holy Light Empire that had been ravaged by the Leader of the God Demon Empire.

The light armor region, spanning trillions of miles, was nothing but ruins.

“Reversing the chaotic River of Time across such a vast area—if it weren’t for the leader of the Holy Light Empire’s warning, I might have missed this entirely,” Xu Fan said to the Holy Lord of the Lingxi Tribe, who was accompanying him.

“Among the Thirteen Holy Lords, only two have mastered the supreme time law, and the leader of the Holy Light Empire is one of them.”

Just then, the chaotic River of Time appeared, stretching across the light armor region.

Instantly, every being in the area felt as if they had been plunged into the chaotic River of Time.

An ancient stone clock emerged above the river, its hands etched by the chaotic River of Time itself.

Xu Fan suddenly felt time in the region come to a complete halt.

The clock’s hand, which had been moving forward, froze in place.

An indescribable force emerged, like a hand manipulating time, gently turning the hand backward, marking the reversal of the chaotic River of Time.

The Chaotic Mist Area shuddered as the hand moved back a single tick.

Xu Fan could clearly sense time flowing backward in the area, while he remained an observer, untouched by the reversal.

“The supreme time law… I still have much to learn,” Xu Fan murmured.

As the hand continued to move, time slowly rewound.

Just as the last fallen being in the area was about to be revived, the hand’s movement slowed.

Xu Fan focused intently, sensing the subtle shift in time’s flow.

It was like a bicycle gaining weight—after an initial struggle, the speed gradually increased.

One by one, the destroyed worlds began to reappear, flowing backward like a river reversing its course.

More and more beings came back to life, and more worlds were restored.

Witnessing this, Xu Fan felt a sudden flash of insight.

Then, the figure of the Leader of the God Demon Empire, who had devastated the area, appeared in the chaotic River of Time.

“If you dare interfere, don’t expect to leave your God Demon Empire alive,” the leader of the Holy Light Empire said, glaring at the god or demon leader.
