UGB Chapter 84: The Forbidden Three Years
Chapter 84: The Forbidden Three Years
Lead-like clouds hung low over Fushi County.
Zou Yun took a deep breath, then suddenly looked up, his gaze seemingly piercing through the roof and straight into the depths of the sky.
"Hey, destiny, is it?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it made the leaden clouds seem even heavier.
"Yes! I admit, you won this round."
Zou Yun remained expressionless, as if stating a given fact, or perhaps resigned to his fate. But hidden in his sleeve, his hand, which had been trembling slightly, began to...
Little by little, they gripped it tighter and tighter.
The thick, leaden clouds pressed down lower and lower, as if they were about to pour down at any moment.
The air grew increasingly heavy!
Time seemed to stand still!
"but!!!"
At that moment of extreme repression, Zou Yun suddenly changed the subject.
"This isn't over until you kill me!!!"
His face remained expressionless, but all the fear, unease, dejection, and anger in his eyes... were peeled away layer by layer.
It reveals only its most basic, primitive, and foolish determination!
That is the indomitable spirit etched into the bones of our ancestors since the dawn of civilization, the stubbornness that refused to turn back even when faced with a seemingly insurmountable obstacle!
This is also Zou Yun's determination!
"boom--!!!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than, on that mysterious, long river...
Countless dark red lightning bolts struck down wildly, and the once surging river suddenly surged with huge waves, as if to crush the ant completely.
No one knows what the weight of history and the passage of time can weigh on a person.
How foolish and how heavy that would be.
But at this moment, there is one person who voluntarily puts on the 'shackles' and wants to carry them on his own shoulders.
This isn't arrogance; it's just that someone has done it before.
Zou Yun took a deep breath, and the gentleness that had once been used to disguise arrogance disappeared from his eyes.
Instead, there is a sharp glint of cold light, like a sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully revealed.
Ignoring the crimson astrology on the panel, Zou Yun's gaze locked onto those few Origin Points.
"So, words become law, huh? Then let me take a good look at this so-called taboo... just where exactly are its boundaries?!"
"Make Zhao Gao and Hu Hai appear before me immediately."
Zou Yun gave the order in a deep voice.
"Boom—!"
The moment the command was issued, a thunderclap resounded over Fushi County, and lightning pierced the clouds, turning the earth a ghastly white.
But nothing appeared in front of Zou Yun, and the panel did not move.
"It just didn't work."
The guess was confirmed, but Zou Yun remained unmoved and continued speaking.
"Within a month, no divine mandate should be placed upon the people!"
"Boom—!"
Thunder roared again, this time more intense and violent than before.
It was no longer a single roar, but a sound wave of billions of thunderbolts intertwined. This sound wave crashed against the earth, causing it to tremble.
However, the original point on the panel remained completely still.
Ignoring the thunder, Zou Yun continued to try, uttering commands one after another...
"Give me the ability to teleport instantly, specifically to Zhao Gao and Hu Hai."
The space remained unchanged; failure!
"The momentary protection that the will of Heaven offered to Zhao Gao and Hu Hai was cut off."
fail!!
For a moment, the entire Fushi seemed to be plunged into a thunderous inferno.
"This...the Thunder God is angry?!"
"By Fenglong!!"
Feng Zhixue's face turned ashen, and he looked up in surprise. Zheng Ze also murmured in a low voice.
At this moment, not only them, but also the people of the entire Fushi County, as well as the newly appointed Wang Li, couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Looking at that prelude that seemed like the end of the world!
At this moment, they could not feel the flow of fate.
However, a strange unease rose in everyone's heart. It was as if something timeless was subtly shifting.
It also seems that some indestructible shackles are quietly loosening.
Inside the room, Zou Yun continued to try, but the result was always failure.
Attempt, failure...
Try again, fail again...
Repeating endlessly!
It seemed that as long as the three-year destiny belonging to Zhao Gao and Hu Hai remained unbroken, Zou Yun could not have any impact on them.
But Zou Yun remained expressionless, like a tireless machine, stubbornly continuing his attempts.
Sweat soaked his inner shirt, and veins bulged on his forehead.
He had lost count of how many times he had failed. But each failure felt like a heavy hammer, striking his will.
Until a certain moment!
A moment when, amidst countless failures, one is almost overwhelmed by numbness!
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Zou Yun's mind.
"Boom—"
This time, he didn't even have to speak.
Above the sky, thunder roared like never before.
"Oh!"
Zou Yun smiled.
He slowly raised his head to look at the sky, and sneered at the thunder that hadn't stopped since, "Looks like... you're not so absolute after all!"
In the next instant, there was no more hesitation, no more testing.
That thought was transformed into the clearest words that came out of Zou Yun's mouth.
"I said, I can extract the next three years from the river of history without affecting its course!"
The words had barely left his mouth!
Deep within my consciousness, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth from that silent panel.
The light was so gentle and dazzling, like the first rays of dawn at the beginning of chaos.
It is as if the ancient Suirenshi, in the endless darkness, drilled wood to make fire, igniting the first flame of civilization to dispel ignorance.
A sudden inspiration!
Zou Yun slowly extended his palm forward, fingers spread, palm facing down.
next second.
In that dimension beyond the reach of mortals, where the river of time and space resides, a gigantic hand composed of pure, dazzling white light appeared out of thin air.
That palm ignored all obstacles.
Ignoring all the dark red lightning covering it, it moved with an unstoppable force.
We ventured directly into that vast, ever-flowing river that carries the past and the future.
with a clear purpose.
That moment!
Throughout the long river of history, all beings capable of perceiving the "Tao" simultaneously looked up at this place.
But Zou Yun was unaware of all this.
He remained expressionless, precisely picking up three drops of water.
A water droplet detaches from the long river, as light as nothing, yet weighing more than ten thousand pounds.
It radiated a strange light, as if it contained the secrets of time and destiny, and fell into Zou Yun's palm.
The moment the water droplet landed in his palm, the terrifying thunder that had been hanging over Fushi abruptly stopped!
The world suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
The ever-flowing river of time pauses for an almost imperceptible moment.
Is this... time?
Zou Yun stared at the three drops of water, pondering to himself.
Without looking closely, he put the three water droplets into his pouch and then looked at the panel.
"Is there any essence left? That's much better than I expected."
Turning his gaze away, Zou Yun didn't linger any longer and slowly pushed open the door to leave.
"Grand...Grand Master?"
Outside the door, Feng Zhixue hesitated.
It's no wonder he was so puzzled.
If they didn't look alike, Feng Zhixue would never have been able to reconcile the person in front of him with the image in his memory.
In just a few seconds, Zou Yun seemed like a completely different person.
Wherever his gaze falls, it seems as if even the air itself is being torn apart.
