112: Chapter 112 Ancient Times
Qin Xiaogan gazed at the illusory River of Time before him, feeling somewhat dazed for a moment.
Why did this River of Time give him the feeling that it was about to collapse?
However, Qin Xiaogan soon cast that thought aside.
The priority now was to find a way back as quickly as possible.
Qin Xiaogan's hands continuously fiddled with the river, trying to find a loophole in current time.
Soon, Qin Xiaogan discovered a black dot within the river.
He reached out toward that black dot.
Suddenly, Qin Xiaogan appeared before a Little Girl.
The Little Girl's eyes shimmered with a faint blue light, and she looked at Qin Xiaogan with curiosity.
Qin Xiaogan looked at the Little Girl, his brow furrowing slightly.
Why did this Little Girl possess his Power of Time?
Just as Qin Xiaogan was about to observe his surroundings—
Ding-dong!
[Warning!]
[Warning!]
[Host has severely violated the Rules of Time and will be sent to the Ancient Era!]
Hearing this, Qin Xiaogan's heart tightened suddenly, as if gripped firmly by an invisible giant hand.
He hurriedly reached out, his hand extending rapidly with fingers tensed, trying to seize the Little Girl.
Qin Xiaogan finally understood; that small black dot was this Little Girl.
This Little Girl was originally just a tiny loophole in the River of Time, but after he had injected power into it out of curiosity, it had actually gained sentience and taken human form.
[Warning!]
[Warning!]
[Host has forcibly changed the Rules of Time!]
[Immediate teleportation!]
Qin Xiaogan's claws were about to grab the Little Girl, his menacing fingers almost touching her thin clothes.
But at this critical moment, he was swallowed into the River of Time by a powerful suction.
...
Ancient Era.
The world was blurry, and rival lords vied for power.
A white-haired youth stepped out from the ancient River of Time, his figure appearing somewhat lonely.
He created a tiny ripple in this ancient world.
The ripple spread slowly, as if touching the long-dormant pulse of this world.
Qin Xiaogan slowly opened his eyes, his heavy eyelids feeling as if they bore a thousand pounds.
"Hmm?" He let out a soft hum, a hint of surprise in his voice.
Then, with a shift of his body, he turned into a beam of white light and shot toward the sky, his speed as fast as lightning, breaking through layers of clouds in an instant.
Qin Xiaogan looked down at this world, his brow furrowing slightly.
Below was a boundless expanse of white, with no mountains, no rivers, and not even a trace of life.
Qin Xiaogan's eyes suddenly shot out beams of dazzling golden light that seemed almost substantial, spreading rapidly in all directions at a staggering speed, as if to see through everything around him.
He concentrated fully, rapidly searching for signs of life in the vicinity.
However, as time passed second by second, still no signs of life were sensed.
Qin Xiaogan's brow furrowed tightly.
This world was quite vast, its scale beyond imagination, to the point that even his powerful spiritual sense could barely cover one-thousandth of it.
And just then, like a glimmer of hope appearing in the dark.
His spiritual sense unexpectedly detected thousands of life signatures.
These life signatures were like scattered stars, flickering in his perception.
Qin Xiaogan raised an eyebrow.
With a flash, he instantly appeared within a tribe.
His robes fluttered as he descended like an immortal.
The ancient humans before him were thrown into a commotion by his sudden appearance, looking at this mysterious visitor with wide, terrified eyes.
Qin Xiaogan's indifferent gaze quickly swept over the crowd.
At this moment, an old man from the crowd walked forward tremblingly and spoke respectfully.
"May I ask where Your Excellency comes from?"
Qin Xiaogan frowned slightly and did not answer immediately, instead continuing to observe this group of humans.
Then, his lips curled slightly as he murmured to himself.
"Somewhat weak, but sufficient."
Having said that.
Qin Xiaogan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze within the narrow slits like a deep cold pool, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Next, he slowly raised his hands, his movements elegant yet carrying an indescribable majesty.
An invisible power gathered in his palms, appearing faint at first, like flickering fireflies in the dark night.
The surrounding air seemed to vibrate slightly because of this power, with subtle ripples spreading outward from him as the dust on the ground rose softly.
Following that, this power grew larger and larger, like surging waves continuously accumulating, one higher than the last.
And just as the power expanded to its peak, it suddenly exploded like brilliant fireworks, instantly bursting with dazzling light and transforming into streams of Soul Power of various colors.
Under the terrified and awe-struck gazes of the ancient humans, these streams of Soul Power, like spirits with their own consciousness, flew into the bodies of different individuals.
"Aah!" Cries of pain rose one after another, echoing through the sky.
"Chief, it hurts so much!"
A young tribesman's face was contorted, his hands tightly clutching his body as he rolled on the ground.
"Save me!!" Pleas for help were endless, and the entire scene fell into extreme chaos and panic.
Seeing this, the Chief also trembled all over and knelt on both knees in a posture of utmost devotion, pleading tearfully to the god-like Qin Xiaogan.
"Lord God, spare my tribe; my tribe will serve you as the most powerful god. We are willing to be loyal to you forever, not daring to be even slightly negligent."
The Chief's voice trembled, his forehead pressed tightly against the ground.
Qin Xiaogan looked at this scene coldly, not a single ripple in his heart.
Not long after, the screams that had filled the air slowly faded, and the surroundings gradually returned to calm.
The humans of the ancient tribe stood up one after another, their faces showing the relief of survivors as they curiously examined their own bodies.
Their eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief, and they soon discovered that their strength, speed, and spiritual power had been greatly enhanced.
That strength seemed capable of shattering mountains and stones, their speed was as fast as the wind, and their spiritual power could even perceive the slightest changes in the surroundings.
It was as if... they possessed the power of a god.
They quickly came to their senses and cried out fervently toward Qin Xiaogan.
"God! God! Our Lord! Our Lord!"
Their voices were orderly and loud, like claps of thunder, filled with infinite reverence and admiration, as if to shake the very world itself.
Qin Xiaogan frowned slightly and said coldly.
"Shut up!"
These two words were like icy frost, instantly making the surrounding atmosphere drop to the freezing point.
As soon as he spoke, everyone was stunned, the fervor on their faces instantly freezing as terror and confusion intertwined in their eyes.
The scene that was so noisy just a moment ago now became pin-drop silent, so quiet that one could almost hear the nervous heartbeat of every person.
Qin Xiaogan's eyes were like torches as he scanned the silenced crowd and spoke slowly.
"Find your own kind, and then... kill them, sacrifice their souls to me, and this Emperor will grant you eternal life."
