Traveler of the River of Time and Space

In sight, Su Ziyu also saw several Martial Monks climbing the enormous body of the giant mountain, stopping for a break after moving a certain distance, looking extremely exhausted. These people exuded a strong aura, mostly at the level of legendary and above.

"Those people are Cloud-Climbing Monks." The head maid explained, "Climbing to the highest point of the Heart of the Earth's body is the ultimate trial for the Cloud-Climbing Monks."

"Successful ones receive the 'Blessing of the Earth' in His palm."

"They can temporarily weaken the impact of gravity on themselves and acquire some magical abilities."

The oriental eagle noticeably slowed down a bit when passing by here, but after Su Ziyu observed everything, it accelerated again.

Soon, they entered a dense, primeval forest.

Su Ziyu saw a towering tree in the distance, roughly a thousand meters high, resembling a parasol tree, with what seemed like burn marks at the top. However, this parasol tree was not dead, as below it the branches were still lush and thriving.

A loud cry came forth.

The proud oriental eagle visibly jumped in shock, and its flight showed a hint of hesitation.

A flash of fire appeared in the distant sky.

Then followed a rising sheet of flames, like an inverted waterfall. In the dazzling brilliance, it surged towards Su Ziyu like a heavenly curtain. Bright flaming clouds filled the sky, amidst the rolling heat waves, revealing an extremely beautiful figure breaking through the sea of clouds.

"Phoenix."

"In the Eastern Realm, He is also called Phoenix, one of the ancient demigods of the Crescent Moon," the head maid smiled, "He seems curious about you, sir. Don't mind him; he'll return to slumber soon."

"That is the Tree Shepherds' camp over there."

"They are a branch of Druids who serve the 'Unity of Heaven and Man' and pursue harmonious coexistence between man and nature."

A gentle gaze was cast from the rather simple camp, and as Su Ziyu turned his head, he saw a man with lush hair and beard resembling tree roots, extremely muscular. He smiled kindly at Su Ziyu, softly joined his hands like a monk.

The Phoenix did not approach Su Ziyu.

Hidden amid the surging clouds, its beautiful silhouette sometimes appeared, flying around Su Ziyu once, then returned to the sky above the parasol tree, disappearing in an instant into the mist.

The silhouette of the oriental eagle accelerated again, and soon the outline of a city appeared ahead.

This city was entirely different from the previous ones seen; Su Ziyu felt as if he had returned to ancient times. The citizens here were quite distinct; many were truly ordinary people, but overall their qualities surpassed ordinary people from other planes.

After all, they are the 'Star Realm's People.'

"That is the Eastern Empress's bedroom," the head maid pointed at the towering palace reaching the clouds in the distance, "She is the first dancer to enter the demigod domain and the top assassin in this world."

"She doesn't like being disturbed by outsiders."

"I won't take you there, but if you're interested, I can show you the dance academy."

The oriental eagle flew towards one of the side halls.

As they passed overhead, Su Ziyu heard the sound of silk and bamboo, and saw many veiled women in thin gauzy dresses, their graceful figures dancing delicately, bodies sensually executing various high difficulty movements, each as if a beautiful snake. In another training ground, two veiled beautiful women were dueling, their speed as fast as phantoms, wielding snake blades, flashing cold light.

"Eastern Dancers are a group of special professionals."

"They are skilled in music, charm, and poison, adept at assassination and intelligence gathering, capable of slipping into shadows, using simple magic—like a variant of bards yet wielding the power of Qi."

The oriental eagle accelerated again, and soon the turquoise waves of the sea appeared in the distance.

"Are we going to dive into the sea?" Su Ziyu pondered silently.

Sure enough.

The oriental eagle slowly descended upon getting close to the sea, and then a group of beautiful, majestic tiger whales swam over, accompanied by circling dolphins and other sea creatures.

"Please."

"Next, let me take you to tour the Crescent Moon's Heart of the Ocean." The head maid smiled with an air of pride.

Yet.

Before Su Ziyu could land on the back of the tiger whales, he suddenly felt locked in, and his body lost its ability to move.

Then a cold, emotionless male voice came, "No need, young lady."

"I need to take him away first."

"Go tell Stephen to come for him later at my place."

In Su Ziyu's shrinking pupils, a Death God's phantom gradually appeared, expressionlessly observing everything below, directly reached out and locked down the space around him, completely stripping him of movement.

The other party's power had already surpassed Su Ziyu's realm of comprehension. A Death God possessing 'Great Divine Power,' even just an incarnation descent, was not something he could resist now.

Moreover, Su Ziyu had previously seen the other party traverse the Crystal Wall Element to other worlds, directly killing indescribably terrifying evil beings in one stroke.

"Tick tock! Tick tock!..."

Just as Su Ziyu felt utterly helpless, resigned to being taken away by the other party, suddenly a ticking clock sound echoed around, and instantly the entire world seemed to freeze. He could clearly feel the flow of time around slow down, and time stood completely still at this moment, everything paused in this second.

The space tore open, a black rift in the void.

Su Ziyu found himself isolated by the space in a highly peculiar third-person view. He saw a pair of gray-black dragon claws tear open the space, and also ripped open time, giant dragon eyes slowly opened, with pupils resembling mercury in an hourglass, surrounded by scales like black masks, and layers of peculiar gray-black dragon scales extended like growth rings along its massive body backward. Near its neck and spine area, sat a young man with a slightly upturned mouth, a playful and unruly expression.

He held a silver-white exquisite pocket watch in his palm, surrounded by golden sands drifting around, and at this moment, he pressed the pause button on the pocket watch.

Time Sand!

Su Ziyu recognized the golden sands floating around his body, as well as the identity of this person.

— Ancient Time Dragon [Super Giant][Time Sanctification][Time Swallowing][Time Control]??? (Challenge Level 91, target extremely dangerous!)

— Lord Stephen [Space-Time Guardian][Traveler in the Space-Time Turbulence][Wall Breaker][Arcane Emperor][Lord of Wonders]???????????? (Challenge Level ???, target extremely dangerous!)

A man almost indiscernible by the Space-Time Monitor System, and an Ancient Time Dragon freezing time to exert immense pressure.

As Su Ziyu speculated what would happen next, events unfolded in extraordinary ways beyond his imagination; the Ancient Time Dragon suddenly took a deep breath, then everything around started to reverse, all as if replaying a movie backward to five minutes ago, except the Death God remained unchanged, unaffected by anything happening, showing no surprise at the unfolding of events.

Su Ziyu was also rewound.

He not only returned to the position he was at five minutes ago, but even his life force was reverted five minutes back. The Death God, though unchanged, saw him escape the Death God's control through such means.
