The image flashed before them quickly and disappeared again, hence, they only managed to catch a quick glimpse of how the Six Paths Worlds were created.

Then, countless images flashed across their eyes and they all saw one after another unrivalled Heavenly Monarchs in their corresponding timelines. They saw the massive and grand wars, the gradual changes of the universe and the many Earthly Sovereigns Heavenly Monarchs.

“Fuxi!”

A Fuxi general among the Xian Tian Imperial Guard shouted, “I saw the ancestors of Fuxi Celestial Race!”

What they saw was the history of the entire Earth Order Era, the Fuxi Celestial Race’s glorious era, and it was truly mesmerizing!

Suddenly, everything changed and they witnessed the war that ended the Fire Order Era; a terrifying war that swept passed the entire universe like a plague, entirely destroying the Fire Order Era.

However, this particular image flashed by too quickly and everyone did not have the time to properly examine, what caused the annihilation of the Yanzi Clan, the most powerful clan at that era.

What followed next was the buried history, the proud civilizations of the Fire Order Era, and the figures of the Fire Order Era Heavenly Sovereigns Heavenly Monarchs and the majestic empire.

Finally, they saw the creation of the Fire Order Era and that too, was a fearsome battle where countless lives were lost. The saw how the braves gave their lives for their dreams, which all caused the rise of the Yanzi Clan!

In the dark universe, the flames of civilization lit up, illuminating the universe. The scene was more than amazing. It shook their souls tremendously and they wanted to cheer for their ancestors that mowed down all the adversaries that stood in their path so that the later generations could live in peace.

And as they witnessed the fire of civilizations, tears built up in the eyes of the many gods; those fires were the start of civilizations, a world where the non-innate beings started to control their own fate.

The ancient ship then sailed right into the Dark Age, an era where there were no civilizations except the wilderness. It was an era ruled by the innate celestial gods and innate demon gods.

From here, they witnessed the birth of many legendary figures, and also their deaths.

“Did this ship just bring us back to the Dark Age?” murmured Yin Fanxuan.

Zhong Yue nodded and just as he was about to speak, the time flow outside of the ship started flowing in reverse and they returned to the Fire Order Era from the dark prehistoric era.

The images they just saw reappeared, they returned back to the Fire Order Era where the many Heavenly Sovereigns Heavenly Monarchs rose and fell, then the Earth Order Era, the end of Earth Order Era and the start of God Order Era!

“Look at that ship!”

A god shouted, “Over there! It’s the same as our ship!”

On the ship, the gods held their breaths and their vision glued onto the ship, which was also traveling in time and also headed towards the Heaven Suppression Palace.

Seeing this, the many gods looked towards that ship with an empty mind.

On the other side, the leader of that newly appeared ship was also a young man, with a beautiful lady standing by his side and the gods on the ship looking toward them mindlessly.

That was another Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan!

Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan felt a chill down their spines right away because they saw “themselves” in the time flow!

Yin Fanxuan was confused and she asked, “Did we return to the Dark Age? How is this happening?”

The exact same situation was happening on the other end.

Upon noticing what happened and after seeing the four Imperial Emperors that were chasing the other ancient ship, Zhong Yue immediately understood what happened, he shouted, “That’s us in the flow of time!”

The scene disappeared in a blink of an eye and everything outside the ship changed rapidly; the flames of war spread across the universe and everything happened in the war was extremely impactful!

The war of thrones!

It was the war of thrones that had yet to happen in their era!

Yin Fanxuan suddenly saw herself and she shouted, “We are sailing towards the future!”

In the image she saw, she became the queen and sat within a massive and grand divine palace, saw herself marrying a strang young man who was a Fuxi and on top of that, the Heavenly Monarch of the Fuxi Celestial Race!

She was dumbfounded. That young man was how Zhong Yue really looked like, which she once saw and said he did not look as elegant as Mister Yi.

Zhong Yue too, saw his future self, at a point where he had finally conquered the universe and become its ruler, creating his glorious era!

The image disappeared and this time, Zhong Yue horridly saw himself being cut down. He was decapitated by a powerful yet mysterious existence; with an alluring and terrifying light that flashed across the scene quickly. His head was chopped off and his Yuan Shen was slain, which denied any chance for him to be revived!

The era he created crumbled, and his followers and servants all died tragically in a chaotic war. Everyone was killed by the mysterious existence and his world was washed with their own blood!

He even saw the death of Xin Huo and Yin Fanxuan!

“I’ve lost….”

Coldness shrouded Zhong Yue upon seeing his future; he lost, killed by someone when he was at the peak. His ambitions and dreams were denied!

In the future, Fuxi was still nonexistent, Zhong Yue failed to save the humans and reverse the tragic fate of the Fuxi.

Zhong Yue lost his will to fight right then and there, the image of the future that was shown to him was too daunting.

Suddenly, a warm and soft hand slipped into his palm; the Yin Kang Clan’s Heavenly Lady who saw this tried to calm him down and pump confidence back towards Zhong Yue.

Zhong Yue’s heart felt weak; everything he had fought so hard for had collapsed in an instant. In the future, he had lost everything, his conquest and his life. He failed to save the humans from the abyss, failed to revive Fuxi and even Xin Huo died alongside with him.

It was a hopeless future.

“This is not the future.”

At his side, the beautiful lady comforted, “If you lose hope now, then everything you saw just now will become your destined future! If you knew about the future long ago, you would have lost hope from the beginning. With that, you and I would have never met, we wouldn’t have gotten married, you wouldn’t have built an empire and become the future Heavenly Monarch.”

Zhong Yue’s eyes moved and his will returned back him, “You’re saying that what we saw is not real?”

“I’m saying that it doesn’t have to be.”

Yin Fanxuan gave him a warm smile and said, “After all, the future is still the future, nothing is set in stone, and things are still going as how you planned. Am I wrong? It can be very scary and disappointing to know our future beforehand but will the wise Mister Yi be defeated by some mere images?”

Zhong Yue held onto Yin Fanxuan’s palm firmly and said with a relaxed smile, “You’re right. I was putting too much stock in the images. If the future is destined, then what’s the point of working hard? We might as well sit there and wait for death. What’s done is done but we can still alter the future! I won’t let that be my end!”

Yin Fanxuan smiled and replied, “I won’t buy it too! You’ve not defeated me yet so how is that possible…possible for me to have a closer relationship to you.”

Zhong Yue burst out laughing, “Don’t worry, I will definitely beat you and I will throw you onto my bed!”

Yin Fanxuan blushed and she rolled her eyes as the two had seemingly cleared the shadows on their mind.

But in truth, as Zhong Yue looked towards the outside, he was still very much feeling the pressure of what he saw.

Though Yin Fanxuan’s words brought him some comfort, he was still puzzled by what was shown to him.

Did that mean that if he continued what he was doing right now, the scenes in the future would turn into reality?

But he was also unsure of what would happen if he changed his plans.

He knew that something must be done but what?

What should be done in order to alter the tragic future?

The scene outside the ship changed constantly and the timeline tangled together gradually; at certain times, a tip of the iceberg in their future was shown and at another time, they were shown their past, making it difficult for them to differentiate where the ship was heading towards, the past or the future?

“It’s heading toward neither the future or the past.”

Zhong Yue said out of nowhere, “It’s heading towards The Impossible World, the Heaven Suppression Palace. The Impossible World should be a world that is independent of time, which is why we are seeing so many strange things on our journey.”

“The Impossible World?”

Yin Fanxuan murmured in awe and she looked towards Heaven Suppression Palace which was now directly ahead of the ancient ship.

They were getting closer and closer towards the palace.

The scene outside of the ship was still changing and what was being shown now were prehistoric images that recorded things not known to the people and they quickly turned back to the future images, showing the future again.

Image after image flashed by and Zhong Yue suddenly saw something.

In that particular image, he saw an endless chaos where there was a fire ocean, seemingly the Jinwu Clan’s sacred ground.

The Chaos Divine Turtle swam freely within the burning ocean and suddenly, a Chaos Divine Turtle got onto the land. Upon arriving at this universe, the Chaos Divine Turtle crawled for a few steps and it did not return to the chaos after turning into a living being.

Zhong Yue was stunned, The chaos beings got onto land? I remember Hundun once telling me that if they got onto land, they would become the universe’s living beings just like us. From there, they would feel pain, anger, sadness, happiness, and other emotions and they will fall sick and die just like us.

However, if they could swim in time and travel from the start and end of time, did that mean that they know everything in the future entirely?

Who is he? When did he get onto the land?

Is this the future or the past?

Zhong Yue frowned; the time flow right now was still completely out of flux, preventing him from identifying the future and the past.

As the ship sailed closer towards the Heaven Suppression Hall, a image appeared. It was the image of the universe’s creation; everywhere was filled with the chaotic elements of earth, fire, water, and wind; and slowly, the cosmic started creating and evolving the galaxies and the many lesser worlds.

The cosmic, however, was still entirely lifeless.

In the endless time, sometime later, an innate god was born within an innate sacred ground, thus, came the first life of this universe.

As he was born, the life force in the Chaos emerged, and sang and prayed for him.

They praised him for his power; he was the source of all life and the ruler of all innate celestial gods and innate demon gods.

Suddenly, this innate god stepped forward, and with that, the first step of all lives.

“Praise the Great Si Ming—” said the Chaotic Divine Turtle as they all prayed.
