Chapter 546 Go play a high-level game
Why?
Lin Hanzhou pressed for an answer.
"Because of cause and effect."
Lin Hanzhou, dressed in a straw raincoat, became serious.
"My journey against the current of time, spanning countless eras, was not specifically to save you. Saving you was merely a convenient act as I passed through this point in time."
"My true purpose is to return to that extremely distant past and participate in a battle that concerns the survival of all the heavens and myriad worlds and the ultimate direction of all timelines."
"You can think of it as me wanting to travel across the river of time and go back to the past to play a high-level game."
"A high-level game?"
Lin Hanzhou keenly grasped this word.
"Yes, that was a truly high-level game."
A breathtaking light flashed in Lin Hanzhou's eyes as he wore the straw raincoat.
"That was an ultimate battle involving the birth of a bizarre origin, where even beings at the level of Immortal Emperors could perish at any moment."
"As a retrograde, every time I change a major historical event in the past, or even just erase a Celestial King-level being who should not have died at this time, it will stir up huge ripples of cause and effect in the long river of time."
"These ripples of cause and effect will continue to accumulate and amplify, eventually forming a terrifying causal backlash."
"The karma I bear now is heavy enough. If I had completely annihilated those three strange Immortal Kings in a moment of anger, changing the established course of the Immortal Realm's history, then the karmic backlash of that level would likely cause me to lose my way in this river of time, and even damage my strength."
"In that case, I will miss that high-level match."
Lin Hanzhou, wearing a straw raincoat, turned his head, looked at himself, and said in a serious tone.
"Therefore, for the sake of that high-level game that concerns everything, I must be patient and minimize the causal entanglements at this juncture."
"To severely injure them and save your life is the limit of what I can do without causing a major karmic backlash."
"Otherwise, I would have completely annihilated them with those three sword strikes."
After hearing these words, Lin Hanzhou felt an indescribable shock and awe.
He never expected that his future self, who appeared to be only at the Mortal Immortal realm, would not only possess terrifying combat power capable of killing Immortal Kings like dogs, but also carry a mission so grand that it could affect the survival of all the heavens and myriad realms.
"Even I, who kills Immortal Kings like slaughtering dogs, have to be so careful and take this high-level game so seriously..."
Lin Hanzhou screamed wildly in his heart.
"What kind of terrifying war was that? Who was the enemy? Was it the legendary source that created this endless, eerie black mist? Or were they some indescribable ancient beings living at the end of the mythological era?"
Lin Hanzhou felt his blood burning, a curiosity about the unknown and a desire for a higher realm made him unable to resist opening his mouth, wanting to ask in detail about the specific details of that "high-level game".
However, he hadn't even had a chance to speak.
Lin Hanzhou, dressed in a straw raincoat, seemed to have anticipated his question and raised his hand to interrupt him before he could speak.
"Alright, put away your boundless curiosity."
Lin Hanzhou, wearing a straw raincoat, spoke first, his tone stern.
"The high-level match I'm going to play is just too high-stakes."
"The secrets and taboos it involves are simply beyond the capacity of a lower realm emperor like you, who hasn't even fully transformed into a human being."
"Telling you even a single word now will not only do you no good, but the terrifying forbidden karma will instantly crush your true spirit, causing you to perish forever."
So, don't ask, and don't guess.
"When the time comes, when you gradually embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world and experience countless cycles of life and death, you will naturally understand everything."
Seeing the unquestionable look in his future self's eyes, Lin Hanzhou could only reluctantly shut his mouth and swallow back all the questions that were swirling in his mind.
He knew that his future self wouldn't harm him, and if he wasn't letting him know, there must be a compelling reason.
Seeing that Lin Hanzhou was no longer pressing the matter, Lin Hanzhou's expression softened slightly.
He turned around and continued to rhythmically row the wooden oar in his hand, controlling the awning boat to adjust its direction in the long river of time.
"Alright, we've stayed at this point in time long enough. It's time to send you back."
Lin Hanzhou, wearing a straw raincoat, regained his previous calm.
"Take me back? Back where?"
Lin Hanzhou was stunned for a moment.
"Of course, we'll send you back to your current hometown—the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
As Lin Hanzhou spoke, he lightly traced a line in the air with his wooden paddle.
Suddenly, a spacetime rift shimmering with silver light appeared on the surface of the River of Time.
Through the crack, Lin Hanzhou could vaguely see the starry sky of the lower universe that he was extremely familiar with.
Looking at the spatial rift that led to the heavens and the earth, Lin Hanzhou felt a complex mix of emotions.
He came to the Immortal Realm with the mindset of certain death, but he never expected to experience such a bizarre journey through time, and now he is about to return to the starting point.
Just as Lin Hanzhou was about to step towards that space-time rift.
Lin Hanzhou's deep voice came from behind him again.
This time, his tone carried an unprecedented solemnity and admonition.
"When you get back, don't be discouraged by the crushing defeat you suffered in the Immortal Realm."
"The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, this former immortal realm, is not as simple as it appears on the surface."
"It once concealed a shocking secret that even the Immortal Realm coveted, but it has been sealed away over countless years."
"When you are reincarnated and start your cultivation again, you can carefully explore those places known as forbidden zones of life, or those ancient mythological relics."
"Believe me, if you explore with your heart, this universe will bring you unexpected and huge surprises."
Lin Hanzhou stopped, turned his back to the future, and firmly memorized these words.
He knew that this was probably the most important walkthrough he would leave for himself in the future.
"And one last, and most important, thing!"
Lin Hanzhou's tone suddenly became unusually stern, as if he were proclaiming an inviolable iron law.
