Arriving at the Time Corridor, Lin Feng turned back to look at Zhetian and Qiongsheng, smiling as he said, "Go back, study well under Old Man Shi."
"Father, you know!" Qiongsheng looked at Lin Feng.
"Do you think I'm a fool?" Lin Feng chuckled, then glanced at the old ox: "Old Ox, you've been here once before, which means you've been out before, right?"
"That time I followed my master out," the old ox replied.
"This time, you'll follow me."
"Do you know how to leave the Ganges Time?" the old ox asked.
"In these years drifting through time, I've gained considerable insight, and I've discovered a secret of the Ganges Time—as long as you flow along the same time flow rate, it's very safe." Lin Feng stared at the old ox and smiled: "Does this also mean that those who step into the Ganges Time can only walk out from the depths of the Ganges Time if they comprehend time and perceive the time flow rate?"
The old ox smiled without saying much, its front hooves stepping forward as it ambled into the long river of time. "Let's go."
"Mm." Lin Feng looked at Mengqing and Youyou, who were bidding farewell to Zhetian and Qiongsheng, and called out, "Mengqing, Youyou, they won't suffer following Old Man Shi."
Although Mengqing and Tang Youyou knew this, they still felt reluctant. Yet in the end, they returned to Lin Feng's world. As for Lin Feng himself, he and the old ox stepped into the long river of time, flowing with the current.
"Senior Ox, I want to return to my world to continue my insights. Could you carry me for a while?" Lin Feng drifted in the river of time and smiled at the old ox beside him, causing the old ox to glare at him: "What, you want to ride on this old ox's back?"
"Senior, you know I meant no such thing. I just want more time to cultivate." Lin Feng shrugged, making the old ox glare at him again: "For the sake of your comprehension ability, this old ox will grant your wish. Come on up."
"Thank you, Senior." Lin Feng sat astride the old ox's back, continuing to drift through the long river of time, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "Senior Ox, since we can perceive the time flow rate, can we come again next time?"
"We can, as long as you're willing to drift in the Ganges Time. Anyway, I don't know how long we'll drift before getting out. Finding Old Man Shi's place again is even more impossible. This time was purely your good luck."
Lin Feng smiled bitterly. Indeed, he still didn't know how long he would drift before getting out. Drifting through time could take decades, even centuries. This kind of solitude was not something ordinary people could endure. The total time Lin Feng had spent cultivating in all his previous years combined didn't match the time he had spent in the Ganges Time this time.
Sitting astride the old ox, Lin Feng closed his eyes and entered his martial soul world.
Now, his world had expanded even further. To this day, five Saint realm figures had appeared, all from the group Lin Feng had nurtured in the past. However, the strength of the humans in his world was still severely fragmented. Emperor realm individuals, aside from those he had brought in himself, were extremely rare. But Lin Feng didn't pay too much attention to this. With a thought, he could sense the time flow of the entire world. Now, he could grasp the meaning of time.
"Now that I can merge speed with time and slowness with time, as long as I wish, with a single thought, I can change the time flow rate of this world. But for now, I can only achieve an eightfold change. When I comprehend deeper and match the time flow rates outside—hundreds or even thousands of times—then a thousand years inside will be only one year outside. Will I still worry about my world not developing quickly enough?"
Lin Feng smiled. His world would one day approach perfection. In the early stages, he needed to guide it. Once the world had its own perfect cycle, he would no longer interfere, allowing it to evolve on its own.
The Ganges Time contained many different time flow rates. Each time flow rate formed a river of time that seemed to have a specific trajectory. As long as one followed this trajectory without changing it, one would not encounter destructive crises. This was the secret Lin Feng had discovered after drifting through time for a hundred years. The old ox and his master had come to the Ganges Time before, and it was clear they had also discovered this secret. However, this method of drifting along the time river was still a passive, helpless approach because they never knew how long they would drift or whether it would be an endless loop. Lin Feng had no choice; he had no other options.
More than ten years later, at the edge of the Ganges Time in the Tai Yao Realm, many powerful figures appeared, gazing into the distance at the Ganges Time. This was the most mysterious of the seven great forbidden lands of the Nine Heavens—the Ganges Time, filled with unknowns. Some said there were many different worlds within it, though people dismissed this as nonsense.
"Look, there! Someone in the Ganges Time." At that moment, someone exclaimed. The group of powerful figures gazed into the Ganges Time and saw a young man sitting astride a yellow ox, drifting peacefully and leisurely through the Ganges Time.
"An ox carrying a person—definitely an incredibly terrifying existence." They were shocked in their hearts. Then, they saw the yellow ox step outward, as if crossing the invisible barriers before it, and soon burst out of the Ganges Time.
"People. Cultivators." Lin Feng stared at the group, his eyes flickering. The yellow ox charged toward them, and Lin Feng asked, "Where is this?"
Those people trembled. Could this ox and young man be ancient beings from some distant era?
"Reporting to Senior, this is the Tai Yao Realm, the southern edge of the Ganges Time," one person replied respectfully, causing Lin Feng to rejoice: "Out! Finally out!"
"How did the battle at the Hall of All Gods end?" Lin Feng asked again.
"The battle at the Hall of All Gods?" The person was stunned. "Senior means the ancient war?"
They thought Lin Feng was asking about a battle from countless years ago.
"No, the agreed battle between the Hall of All Gods and the Fate Temple. What happened later?" Lin Feng asked again.
"Oh, now the people from the Hall of All Gods have all gone to the Fate Temple. It's about to begin. I wonder what the outcome will be this time," the person replied. As soon as his words fell, Lin Feng and the old ox shot forward, rushing at top speed toward the Fate Temple. At the same time, Lin Feng sent a message to the Prophet through a jade slip, telling him he was on his way back.
It hadn't started yet. This battle hadn't begun. He was in time.
"He knew about that agreed battle?" After Lin Feng left, those people were stunned. That agreed battle had been set only two years ago. Did this mean this person had entered the Ganges Time less than two years ago and had walked out alive from the depths of the Ganges Time?
Along the way, Lin Feng met up with the Prophet. The Prophet had been waiting for Lin Feng at the Phoenix Valley in the Tai Yao Realm, never expecting Lin Feng to return from a different exit.
"Teacher, how is the situation?" Lin Feng had been maintaining contact with the Prophet through jade slips, so they were able to reunite.
"Let's talk as we go. The situation is very serious this time. I'm afraid the Fate Temple will face a calamity," the Prophet said.
"Couldn't you persuade the other temples?" Lin Feng asked.
"The various temples all have their own agendas. It's impossible to make them change their minds. It's the same in the Tai Yao Realm. Difficult. The Fate Temple has been isolated. These days, I've been at the Phoenix Valley trying to contact the Divine Phoenix Clan, but I still can't get them to change."
"Now, the only hope is to win this agreed battle. The pressure on the Fate Temple will be much lighter, and they will hold the moral high ground of the Heavenly Dao," the Prophet said. The people of the Fate Temple believed in fate and the Heavenly Dao, but they also understood that the Heavenly Dao was only supplementary. Human power was enough to change the heavens. Therefore, cultivators never truly entrusted their fate to the heavens; they all fought against heaven for their future.
Lin Feng was silent. He didn't know how strong his opponent would be this time. He could only do his utmost to win this battle. Now, he had some confidence in his own fight, but he would never underestimate his opponent.
"By the way, Lin Feng, how prepared are you?" The Prophet stared at Lin Feng and asked.
"No matter what, I will win my fight," Lin Feng said after a moment's hesitation. This was what he owed the Fate Temple. He could only allow victory.
Lin Feng and the Prophet returned to the City of Fate. Now, because of the agreed battle, the City of Fate was open to the entire Nine Heavens. Too many powerful figures had gathered here. Strong individuals from all over the Nine Heavens had converged on the City of Fate. Saints were as numerous as oxen hair. It was truly a scene of unprecedented prosperity. The Nine Heavens had not seen such a spectacle for too long.
On this day, within the Divine Temple suspended in the void of the City of Fate, two figures descended from the sky, landing on an ancient peak, looking toward the sacred battle platform ahead.
"Lin Feng." The Temple Master of the Fate Temple suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on Lin Feng, revealing a gentle smile. "Finally back."
"I have caused the Temple Master worry," Lin Feng said, slightly bowing.
"You are a figure of fate. I never doubted you would appear," the Temple Master said with a smile. "Below, four people will join you in the battle."
Lin Feng looked down at the sacred battle platform and saw some familiar figures. Chu Chunqiu stood proudly in a purple robe, as if looking down upon all living beings. Kong Ming, with his hands clasped together, was as quiet as if he didn't exist, his temperament completely different from Chu Chunqiu's. They had both reached the Minor Accomplishment Saint King realm, their cultivation speed extraordinary.
"Once, the light of fate refracted scenes of you all. Chu Chunqiu and Kong Ming both showed unusual signs. They are also extraordinary people," the Temple Master said.
"Mm." Lin Feng nodded, then looked at his senior brother Hou Qinglin, Jun Moxi, Zhou Rongman who had also returned, Hua Qingfeng, and other outstanding disciples of the Fate Temple.
