Chapter 545 Going with the Current Leads to the Future, Going Against the Current Leads to the Past
Lin Hanzhou listened quietly, his heart churning with turbulent emotions.
The Realm of Time!
A supreme world entirely constructed from the laws of time, independent of all other universes!
It turns out that the legendary, mysterious river of time is actually a peaceful and serene sight.
"Do you see this river?"
Lin Hanzhou, wearing a straw raincoat, pointed to the shimmering river water at his feet with the wooden paddle in his hand and continued speaking.
"In this realm of time, the rules are visualized to the most intuitive degree."
"By passing through the realm of time and following the flow of the river of time downstream, one can traverse endless years and reach the future, a future filled with countless variables and unknowns."
"Conversely, going against the flow of the river, against the erosion of time, and going against the current is to trace the roots of history and lead to the past that has long since settled."
At this point, Lin Hanzhou, dressed in a straw raincoat, paused for a moment. He raised his head, and a complex and unfathomable expression appeared on his face, which was half-hidden by the shadow of his straw hat.
His gaze seemed to pierce through the azure sky before him, looking towards the distant, endless upper reaches of the river of time.
"And me..."
He spoke slowly, his voice carrying a sense of timelessness and determination that transcended eternity.
"Coming from the distant [future], going against the flow of time, to the [past] that has long been buried in the dust of endless years."
After hearing this insightful yet simple explanation, Lin Hanzhou felt as if he had been enlightened, and suddenly understood.
Only now did he fully accept the unbelievable reality before him.
The young man in the straw raincoat before him was not a physical phantom that he had barely managed to summon from the River of Time using the supreme divine power of "Future Star Tribulation" during the critical moment.
Instead, it is a real self with independent thought, and even carrying some extremely important mission—[a self from the distant future]!
Having figured this out, Lin Hanzhou couldn't help but gasp.
"hiss--"
Looking at the slender figure and aura of the future self before him, he recalled the shocking scene of the other party casually injuring three strange immortal kings. His curiosity grew wildly like weeds and could no longer be suppressed.
"That...me from the future."
Lin Hanzhou rubbed his hands together, leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with fervent light, and continued to press for answers.
"That move you just made was absolutely awesome!"
"Those are three genuine Celestial Kings! They are supreme rulers who only exist in legends and are worshipped by billions of living beings!"
"And you almost killed me instantly with just three casual swings of a broken... uh, oar made from a branch of the Tree of Time!"
"What level have you reached in your current realm?"
"Is he the legendary Immortal Emperor who can suppress all enemies? Or has he transcended the realm of immortality and reached some indescribable supreme state? How could he so easily crush three Immortal Kings!"
Upon hearing this question, Lin Hanzhou, dressed in a straw raincoat, turned around and looked at himself, who was now acting like a curious child, and couldn't help but chuckle.
He shook his head and calmly offered an answer that made Lin Hanzhou instantly question the meaning of life.
"Immortal Emperor? The highest realm? You're thinking too much."
"According to the cultivation system of your era, my current cultivation level is roughly [Red Dust Immortal].
"A mortal immortal?"
Lin Hanzhou was stunned. This term seemed somewhat unfamiliar to him, a Great Emperor who had just come to the edge of the Immortal Path.
"right."
Lin Hanzhou, wearing a straw raincoat, nodded and continued to explain.
"The so-called immortals of the mortal world do not enter the immortal realm, do not borrow the immortal realm's longevity substances, and do not get tainted by the immortal realm's broken and strangely polluted laws."
"Instead, with great perseverance and wisdom, they survive countless tribulations in the vast and chaotic lower universe, living on and on, life after life."
"To attain enlightenment amidst the mortal world, to transform oneself in despair. Relying on one's own inherent strength, to forcefully break the shackles of heaven and earth, and to establish one's own flawless Great Dao."
"If I had to make a comparison with the Immortal Realm's system, my current realm would probably be roughly equivalent to the [Quasi-Immortal King Realm] in the Immortal Realm."
"Quasi-Quasi-Immortal King Realm?!"
Lin Hanzhou was genuinely shocked. His voice involuntarily rose eight octaves, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"How could a Quasi-Immortal King be this strong? Those three strange Immortal Kings are genuine Immortal King giants!"
"You, a quasi-Immortal King, casually rowed the boat three times and chopped them up like vegetables?"
Lin Hanzhou had done challenges beyond his level before; he had been doing so throughout his journey.
But those were only achieved under extremely desperate circumstances, when all their cards were played, and even at the cost of their lives.
But what about the future version of myself right now?
That gesture just now, as if brushing off dust, was hardly a challenge beyond one's level.
That was clearly a dimensional reduction massacre of a lower dimension by a higher dimension!
Seeing Lin Hanzhou's astonished expression, Lin Hanzhou in his raincoat smiled helplessly, his tone carrying the absolute confidence and disdain of an invincible powerhouse.
"As I just said, the Quasi-Immortal King is merely a nominal realm classification."
"The path of the Immortal of the Mortal Realm is inherently defying the heavens. Its profound foundation is far beyond what those so-called Immortal Kings, who rely on absorbing the origin of the Immortal Realm and whose minds have been corrupted by strange phenomena, can compare to."
"Actually..."
Lin Hanzhou's eyes narrowed slightly, and a terrifying killing intent that seemed to pause the flow of time flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He spoke in a tone as if stating an objective fact.
"In reality, I kill ordinary Celestial Kings as easily as slaughtering dogs."
"hiss--"
Lin Hanzhou gasped again.
Killing an ordinary Immortal King is as easy as slaughtering a dog!
If someone else had said those words, Lin Hanzhou would have thought that person was a madman who had lost his mind.
But now, coming from his future self, coupled with the earth-shattering achievements just now, it seemed so natural and so domineering!
"Then why didn't you just kill those three Celestial Kings?"
Lin Hanzhou snapped out of his daze and asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Since killing them is as easy as slaughtering dogs, you could have simply annihilated their true spirits with those three sword strikes!"
"Why only strike them once and spare their lives?"
The thought that those three bizarre immortal kings who had almost tortured him to death could still be alive and kicking and go back to heal their wounds made Lin Hanzhou feel a surge of resentment.
Upon hearing this, Lin Hanzhou, dressed in a straw raincoat, cast his deep gaze once again towards the distant upper reaches of the river of time, a rare look of solemnity appearing between his brows.
"Do you think I don't want to kill them?"
He sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"With my current strength, those three crippled Immortal Kings who were completely corrupted by the strange phenomenon were nothing more than chickens and dogs, and could be easily wiped out."
"But I can't do that."
