There's one more thing in Chapter 547
"Remember my words! Until your combat strength reaches a level comparable to a True Immortal, no matter what happens, never set foot in the Central Immortal Realm again!"
"In that battle, the entire Immortal Realm's three thousand domains were shattered, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths where you are once was one of those three thousand domains."
"The Central Immortal Realm was once the most prosperous place in the Immortal Realm, and it was also the source of the great war."
"The waters here are too deep; you won't be able to handle them until you become an immortal."
Hearing his future self's warning, Lin Hanzhou took it very seriously.
This is somewhat like a veteran player in a game warning a newbie to avoid pitfalls.
He turned around and bowed deeply to the figure wearing a straw hat and raincoat.
"I've got it, brother."
Lin Hanzhou grinned, his smile revealing an unprecedented firmness and composure.
"Go."
Lin Hanzhou, wearing a straw raincoat, did not turn around, but simply waved his hand.
The next moment, a gentle force enveloped Lin Hanzhou's body, propelling him directly into the silver spatial rift.
Light flashed, and spacetime closed.
Lin Hanzhou's figure completely disappeared into the realm of time.
A deathly silence returned to the wooden boat.
Lin Hanzhou, dressed in a straw raincoat, stood quietly at the bow of the boat, looking at the place where the space-time rift disappeared. After a long while, he slowly raised his head and turned his gaze back to the distant and profound upper reaches of the river of time.
There lies the oldest secret, and also the origin war that concerns everything.
"I hope you'll have an easier time than I did back then..."
A faint sigh dissipated in the breeze.
"Squeak—squeak—"
The wooden canoe sets sail again.
The young man, wearing a straw hat and a raincoat, held an oar, like a lone traveler against the tide, cutting through the endless fog of time, resolutely heading against the current towards the ancient past filled with unknowns and terrors.
The river of time continues to flow, witnessing the vicissitudes of eternity and burying endless myths.
..........
On the other side, within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
A silver spacetime rift silently bloomed in the deep, boundless universe, like a huge and mysterious eye that briefly opened in the dark sea of stars.
As the light flickered and closed, the crack disappeared completely, as if it had never existed.
In that cold, silent, and starless unknown void, a tall and slender figure silently emerged.
It was Lin Hanzhou who had just finished that bizarre and fantastical journey through time and was sent back from the spacetime rift where his future self was located.
He stood silently in the void, without causing the slightest ripple in the surrounding space, nor disturbing any living beings in this star field.
At this moment, he seemed to have merged with this vast universe, and with each breath he took, there was a strange resonance with the grand laws of the heavens and earth.
Feeling the incredibly familiar aura of this universe, feeling the aura that, though not as rich and sophisticated as the Immortal Realm, was full of vitality and the warmth of human life, Lin Hanzhou couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion.
"Finally back..."
Lin Hanzhou looked down at his hands, then recalled his terrifying experience in the Immortal Realm, which was like a living hell, and the three strange Immortal Kings who regarded all living beings as ants.
The suffocating feeling of being absolutely crushed by power is still fresh in his memory.
"All things considered, the entire journey from leaving the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to embarking on that broken immortal path, full of hope to find the opportunity to become an immortal, has only taken half a year."
Lin Hanzhou shook his head with a wry smile, a sense of vicissitude flashing in his deep eyes.
Half a year is but a fleeting moment for a powerful emperor with a long lifespan who often secludes himself for thousands of years; it's not even enough time for a nap.
However, in just six months, he experienced great joy and sorrow, ups and downs.
He witnessed the ruin and strangeness of the Immortal Realm, experienced the near-death despair of the collapse of the Dao Fruit, and saw his future self's unparalleled demeanor as he crossed the river of time. He even learned about the origin war that concerned the survival of all the heavens and myriad worlds.
All of this constitutes a massive amount of information.
For Lin Hanzhou, the past six months on the Immortal Path felt like an unreal experience, as if he had been transported to another world.
"Fortunately, the outcome was good. Not only did I survive, but I also gained early insight into future trends."
"Next, as long as I follow my future self's instructions, I will carefully cultivate my abilities in these nine heavens and ten earths, and steadily forge my own path to immortality in the mortal world..."
Lin Hanzhou secretly plotted his grand future plans, a relaxed smile creeping onto his lips.
However, just as he was preparing to tear through the void and return to his Great Emperor's Dojo to properly go into seclusion and sort out what he had gained this time.
A familiar voice, tinged with a casual and lazy tone, and even a hint of guilt, suddenly rang in Lin Hanzhou's ears without warning.
"Oh right, there's something very important I forgot to tell you."
That was the voice of the future incarnation of Lin Hanzhou in a straw raincoat!
The sound seemed to have crossed the causal line that was not yet fully closed, and reached his ears directly.
Lin Hanzhou's smile froze instantly, and his heart skipped a beat.
For some reason, hearing his future self speak in that tone gave him a very ominous feeling.
"Um..."
The sound continued to ring in my ears.
"As for your injuries, I did indeed use healing laws to completely heal you, even repairing your Great Emperor Dao Fruit to be more perfect than before. But..."
The voice paused for a moment, as if he was carefully choosing his words.
"However, the matter of lifespan involves the most fundamental and core law of the universe, the cycle of reincarnation."
"My previous actions in dealing with those three strange Immortal Kings have already alerted the River of Time. In order to avoid bearing too much karmic backlash and affecting my later high-level battle, I cannot interfere too much with your current life state."
"Therefore, I only forcibly extended your life by one year."
"In other words, the countdown begins now, and in one year, you will pass away because the Great Emperor's lifespan has completely run out."
"It's really not my fault. You know, as someone who went against the tide, I had my own difficulties."
"But don't worry, with your current cultivation level and abilities, a year should be enough time for you to leave behind ample contingency plans in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and make arrangements for your reincarnation and cultivation, right?"
"Go for it! I believe in you. I'm really leaving this time."
The sound gradually faded and eventually disappeared completely into nothingness, severing even the slightest causal connection.
