Chapter 660 128. Branches of the Cosmic Tree

Tianyang, the altar of the Shenqiong Realm.

As one of the most powerful realms in Tianyang, the altar of the Shenqiong Realm is an ancient artifact that can communicate with the Supreme Being. Its history is so long that it can be compared with the Great Wall of the Universe in Jiuzhou. Countless small altars are scattered in the holy mountains of the Shenqiong Realm. Each small altar has a corresponding true life soul dedicated to it, and it is also the place where their Taoism is located.

The incense of Shenqiong Realm is flourishing, and the orthodoxy is the vast academy, attracting countless students to climb the mountain road. Students don't know whether the altar can summon the Supreme, but it is an ironclad fact that the altar can summon the Siming Time Law.

This powerful creature who left a strong mark in the war span of Kyushu was the object of admiration of students. According to records, he called on the Supreme Kirin to suppress the God of Haoyu, and went deep into the hinterland of Kyushu alone, destroying the Great Wall of the Universe that spread across tens of millions of galaxies. It was only the self-destructive power of the god-like creator who appeared in the last generation of Kyushu that made this God of Destiny retreat.

How can one not be fascinated by such a person?

What's more, the law masters of Tianyang are neither great nor mysterious. Except for those who were injured and fell asleep in the battle of Jiuzhou, most of the unrestricted saints are active in Tianyang's top institutions to teach, educate and answer questions. Those who seek the way are good enough and can even let the saints of this way preach for him.

The same is true for the Sima Shilu. As the most powerful law of returning to the origin in Tianyang, he is also the high priest of the ancient altar of Shenqiong Realm. He is often by the altar, and students will not be blamed even if they go to nag him.

As time went by, jokes were occasionally made about this saint, saying, "If Siming was not one of the most powerful sources of return in Tianyang, such beauty would have been treasured by some important figure long ago." Siming Shilu's enchanting beauty attracted every living being who had seen him, so it was not surprising that such jokes were spread, but surprisingly, Siming himself did not take these jokes, which were getting more and more serious, seriously.

At first people were afraid that Sima Ming would be angry, but later they figured out why Sima Ming would be angry about such a thing, because the origin of it was completely different from what they cared about.

Therefore, students do not know and are not interested in whether the ancient altar can summon the Supreme Being, but as long as there are saints walking there, it is a top-level institution, worthy of all spirits to strive for. Those who follow the ancient altar of Shenqiong have the opportunity to glimpse the clues of the law of time.

Just like the ancestors who are enshrined on the altar today have more or less received the grace of the God of Destiny and are able to carry out the God of Destiny's orders.

The prosperity of the Shenqiong Realm is naturally inseparable from the talents attracted by the ancient altars. Each altar is an institution that makes the outside world jealous. It is difficult for other realms around the Shenqiong Realm to have such attraction. Every time the altar is opened and priests are recruited again, the teleportation bridge leading to the Shenqiong Realm is crowded.

All these factors made the altar a lively scene instead of a lonely one.

The bustling crowd was mostly students wearing school uniforms, and their youthful and energetic appearance also made the entire city look younger. The streets were busy with cars and people, and the castles in the sky were sitting in the clouds. Runes were flashing, and with the altar as the center, abundant spiritual energy was supplied to every corner of this huge building.

However, there is one person's style that is out of tune with the prosperous scene around him.

It was a bold and unrestrained man in linen clothes, sitting on a blue cow with his legs spread out, pulling grass roots. The blue cow carried him slowly, and dirt kept falling from the gaps between the cow's hooves. The man and the cow exuded a faint stench of cow dung and weeds, which made pedestrians on the roadside avoid them.

"Who is this person? Looking at him, I doubt that I am not in the Shenqiong Realm, but in the lower realm doing a census."

"He can walk into the city without any spiritual energy fluctuations. Do you really think he is a farmer in the fields of the lower world? He must be a big shot in the academy. These big shots didn't have as good conditions as us when they were young. After they have cultivated, they will get used to maintaining their previous appearance."

"Were conditions so miserable in the past? Did the big shots live a hard life in the lower world?"

"How can you study history with your level? The lifespans of great figures are often tens of millions of years. Wasn't it like this in the past? Where were the schools, where were the guides, where were the things like that? You relied on yourself. You have nothing but have achieved so much. Naturally, you are powerful. This is also the reason why some scholars are still promoting ancient methods. Now it seems that there are no talented people in our generation. This is the result of eating up the Kyushu heritage and having a lot of resources. You don't even understand such basic historical common sense? How did you pass the final exam?"

"I am a weapon refiner, not a history student."

"You are a weapon refiner, but you don't know the ancient inscriptions?"

"Then you just need to know how to write inscriptions and seal carving. What's the use of studying history? Only you, a bunch of idiots, are good at writing poems all day long, and you don't even do anything practical! What a bunch of nonsense! It's better for me to wield a magical weapon."

"You bastard! Don't join my plan!"

At this moment, the man on the blue ox's back suddenly opened his eyes wide and straightened his body.

“You little brat…” “Stop being a little brat, look at that, that’s what a straight finger is!”

Not only the two students who were talking, but also the entire altar, the entire Shenqiong Realm, and all the creatures in Tianyang could easily see that a big hole had appeared in the sky, and a slender arm with jet-black hair stretched out from the hole into Tianyang, groping for something.

"What the hell... is that?" Both the students and the refiners cursed at the same time.

In the center of the ancient altar, the lips of a young man in sacrificial robes moved, and an extremely strange tone resonated with the Divine Qiong Realm through the altar. It was this resonance that prevented the dark arm from being expelled from Tianyang, but instead allowed it to remain here and reveal its entity.

"It's Shi Lu, thank you." The owner of the arm said thank you.

“No need to be polite.” The young man responded, “But you, the Supreme Nightmare, you were going to come suddenly. You could have informed me in advance. Now, you can’t even cover it up. The people of Tianyang should be scared to tears by you.”

"Take something that is only available here." said the Supreme Nightmare.

"It's only here... I think I understand." The young man smiled and said, "Please go ahead. It's not easy to take it away."

"That's what I'm here for."

The arm seemed to have finally found what it wanted, stopped, and spread out its five fingers like a dark mountain. A powerful suction force suddenly erupted! An ancient altar in the Shenqiong Realm was turned into rubble, the surrounding ground cracked, and huge rocks continued to rise. He continued to dig until a corner of light green fluorescence appeared at the bottom of the abyss.

As if touched, that corner of fluorescence suddenly rose into the air and in an instant grew into a towering tree that could cover the sky.

But this towering tree was as small as a toothpick to that arm.

He grabbed the root of the tree with his arm and pulled it up in an instant, holding it in his palm.

As Supreme Nightmare was about to leave, he heard Shi Lu say calmly, "I wonder what you want this branch of the Universe Tree for? Would you mind telling me?"

"I encountered an enemy and had to resort to this desperate measure."

"The enemy that makes you so cautious is the remaining supreme being in Kyushu?"

"I don't know."

"I don't know?"

"The enemy can influence the timeline of the Supreme. I don't know what kind of enemy he is. I was only ordered to pull out the branches of the cosmic tree, make them into weapons and wait somewhere, waiting for the right time to come." Nightmare seemed to respect Sima Ming very much and told him almost everything he knew.

"It's quite wonderful." Siming Shilu waved his hand, and the arm withdrew from Tianyang's world. The huge and terrifying void closed in an instant.

After a long while, he stood up in deep thought and walked around the altar.

"It shouldn't be like this." Siming said.

Outside the altar, the man sitting on the back of the blue bull had a drastic change of expression, and murmured, "Sure enough... history has been modified, this supreme being should not have appeared at all!"
