Chapter 330: Time River

Every red-named player is a formidable fighter. His combat power, like Long Wuming's, places him among the two strongest red-named players. However, Long Wuming, Yi Jian Guixi, and others were already tied down, unable to escape.

"The Demon Realm also possesses too many trump cards! Their millennium of accumulation has produced three terrifying monsters who had not yet made a move!"

On the front lines of the Great Blood Domain, the situation had completely turned. The enemy revealed numerous contingencies, overwhelming everyone almost instantly.

Many wailed in despair. This was almost a checkmate!

What difference did it make even if a few Heavenly Emperors capable of resurrection had been secretly prepared? The enemy simply needed to tie them down and eliminate the Heavenly Emperors who could not be resurrected, thereby instantly turning the tide of battle. As for identifying who could or could not be resurrected, the strategy was clearly to target those with lesser reputations.

This was a terrible predicament; ultimately, time was too short, and their foundations were shallow. Had they been granted another one or two centuries, they might not have lost to the enemy.

"We cannot ask the heavens for another five hundred years!"

"If only our era had fully recovered from the Western Era! Back then, we had thirteen innate ancient gods and twelve ancestral shamans, and powerful Heavenly Emperors emerged one after another, though their glory has since faded!"

"Time, if only we had more time!"

Countless beings prayed and wailed in unison, their cries filled with suffering and sorrow, deeply moving to witness.

Sheila, observing the scene, also appeared deeply distressed. She sighed from afar, "Indeed! They are so short on time. Their people are truly tragic, yet they stand united with an unyielding will, preferring death to surrender."

Xu Zhi's expression grew strange. He whispered, "That's because there's a group of hired influencers in there, secretly setting the mood. They're crying tragically and shouting with great effort, specially trained for this. Some are even old monsters of the Cavern Heaven realm, shedding tears profusely."

"Influencers?"

Sheila paused, completely bewildered. Since arriving in the Great Blood Domain, she had heard many peculiar terms: "selling a persona," "hiring influencers," "setting the pace"... It seemed to be some kind of professional, mature industry. What exactly were these? Could it possibly be some unique conspiracy?

At this very moment, at the other end of the Great Blood Domain, all beings wailed, lamenting their lack of time and wishing to borrow another five hundred years from the heavens. Their collective thoughts gradually coalesced into an emotion of profound sorrow, moving heaven and earth, as if traversing time itself to unleash astonishing power.

The next second, the entire firmament of the Great Blood Domain trembled. A vast, ethereal river of time, stark white, materialized before their eyes, revealing ancient presences that seemed to flow from the past into the future.

"Body a root, heart a bloom, a single lotus in the eternal blue!"

A thunderous roar echoed! A man in a green robe materialized. He was heroic and imposing, with black hair cascading over his shoulders, appearing ethereal. He carried the unparalleled bearing of the most powerful Demon Emperor from all ages, radiating an incredibly terrifying aura.

"Who is that?"

"Impossible. There has never been any mention of such a Heavenly Emperor."

The Blood Emperor's expression changed. He had not anticipated such an unforeseen development. He gazed at the man before him, at the green lotus that seemed to emanate an unspeakable, terrifying aura, woven with profound Daoist principles. This figure felt extraordinarily ancient, as if he were not a Heavenly Emperor of the current era, but rather had traversed the currents of the long river of history, arriving from the past into this future age.

The next moment, the river of time in the sky surged once more, and a voice, resonant with powerful conviction, echoed across the heavens, descending like a rushing spring.

A deafening roar followed! "I am Duan! I shall stand alone through all ages! Severing past and future!!"

Just then, an even more astonishing figure emerged: an elegant Heavenly Emperor. He stood silently with his back to the multitude, his entire being suffused with Daoist patterns, lotus flowers blossoming with every step he took.

The Blood Emperor and his allies watched, their expressions shifting once more. They remained silent, utterly stunned and unable to comprehend what was happening. These individuals possessed an utterly terrifying presence; they were heroes of their respective eras, chosen by destiny, protagonists whose renown echoed through history. How could they possibly appear here? Each one was more powerful and extraordinary than the last, radiating brilliance. How could they be here?

"Have they come from the long river of time to aid us in this era?"

Their expressions turned grim. They could not fathom what bizarre method the Great Zhou Dynasty had employed to achieve such a feat.

"Body a root, heart a bloom, a single lotus in the eternal blue!""I am Duan! I shall stand alone through all ages! Severing past and future!"

A collective gasp filled the air! The entire Ancient World erupted in shouts, instantly ablaze with excitement.

It was Emperor Qing and Emperor Duan. The two most astonishing and brilliant supreme Heavenly Emperors of the ancient Western Era. In their own era, their brilliance had been overshadowed by Dao Changsheng, hence their lesser renown. In reality, they were already the most powerful Heavenly Emperors of that time, far exceeding figures like the current War God Tiantu and Emperor Lei. Otherwise, they would not have been the two chosen to merge with the Dao.

"Greetings, Emperor Qing!""Greetings, Emperor Duan!"

Some elderly cultivators of the Cavern Heaven realm wept uncontrollably, tears streaming down their faces as they knelt.

The Blood Emperor and his allies held their breath, their expressions turning peculiar. What in the world was happening? They couldn't shake the feeling that someone was secretly plotting against them. The distant masses in the Great Blood Domain, however, felt that inside...
