Chapter 627: Reversing Time, Returning to the Past
Chen Lan charged into the sky, and with a sudden sword strike, the blood-red, fierce Sword Qi struck the Meteor, resulting in a terrifying explosion.
Yet after the explosion, the Meteor remained unscathed, its speed unchanged, continuing to descend toward the Celestial Domain.
Seeing this, Chen Lan unleashed several more sword strikes, but even the combined might of the Demon Abyss Slash had no effect!
"No Divine Techniques work, could the Emperor Dao be powerless?" Chen Lan said in a deep voice, sheathing the Demon God Sword and rushing toward the Meteor.
He hurled his fists at the Meteor, which trembled but did not explode, pausing for half a second before continuing its descent.
Seeing this, Chen Lan’s pupils contracted slightly, and he changed his fists to palms, bracing himself under the Meteor, pushing upward with all his strength.
[Overestimating one’s own abilities like an ant]
A shadow in the clouds shouted coldly, and a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, increasing the Meteor’s power and speeding it up, making veins bulge on Chen Lan’s body!
Bang!
Chen Lan’s head tilted, the Meteor pressing against his neck, but he held on tightly with both hands, refusing to let go.
"Could it be, this is the doom of world destruction for the Celestial Domain?" Gu Changge said in a deep voice, "But why does it feel like a farce?"
"Stop talking, go help!" Yang Tian ordered coldly, flying quickly to Chen Lan’s side, bracing the Meteor with both hands.
Gu Changge quickly followed, the three of them bracing the Meteor together.
Seeing this, others began to use various Divine Techniques and Magical Treasures, but to their surprise, even when a dozen Divine Dao Powerhouses unleashed their powers together, they couldn’t damage the Meteor at all, as if it were invincible.
After their futile efforts, everyone gathered beneath the Meteor, mimicking Chen Lan’s posture, hands bracing the Meteor, attempting to slow its descent.
With the collective power of a dozen Divines, the Meteor indeed stopped, motionless.
Everyone smiled in relief; it worked!
"Now, let’s push this Meteor back to the Evil Race!" Gu Changge exclaimed excitedly, pushing upward with all his might.
"I’ll count 123, and everyone push together to avoid scattering our strength," Yang Tian shouted loudly.
As he counted to three, they all pushed simultaneously, and amazingly, they began to push the Meteor upward.
Chen Lan felt the Meteor being pushed but wasn’t relieved; instead, he felt puzzled—could it really be this simple?
Wasn’t the supposed divine punishment of world destruction supposed to be a flash of white light wiping out the entire Celestial Domain?
He looked questioningly at Tianyunzi, who also looked back, but there was no joy in his eyes, only seriousness.
This confirmed to Chen Lan that this was not simple—could the Meteor be just the appetizer?!
As the group slowly pushed the Meteor upward, about to exit the Celestial Domain and reach space, Chen Lan suddenly had a bad premonition!
"Something’s wrong!" Chen Lan suddenly shouted, startling the others, who all looked at him.
"What’s the matter, Chen Lan?" Gu Changge asked, puzzled.
"How could this be so easy, something’s not right!" Chen Lan’s premonition grew stronger, and a terrifying aura was coming from above, not from the Meteor!
He quickly retreated, as others watched him in confusion at his sudden change.
When Chen Lan reached the edge of the Meteor, he looked up and his pupils contracted violently.
He saw a massive black hole, too vast to see its edges, large enough to envelop the entire Celestial Domain and the surrounding galaxies, as if it intended to swallow the entire Celestial Domain.
Seeing this black hole filled Chen Lan with unease, sensing something terrifying was about to occur.
As he was about to return to warn the others, an extremely bright white light shot out from the black hole, instantly engulfing the Celestial Domain. The blinding light forced Chen Lan to shut his eyes, and when the light faded, he slowly opened his eyes in shock.
In his sight, the Celestial Domain was gone, the entire planet gone, even the Meteor was gone, no trace of Life in his Divine Sense sweep, everyone was obliterated in that white light, evaporated from the Cosmos!
This sudden divine punishment of world destruction left Chen Lan dumbfounded; he had never seen such terrifying Divine Techniques, obliterating dozens of Divine Dao Powerhouses and a high-world-level planet in one strike.
Everything seemed erased from the Cosmos, leaving no trace behind.
"No wonder Tianyunzi said I could change it, turns out I actually can," Chen Lan said softly.
Now, there was only one move left: return to the past and change the future.
As Chen Lan formed this thought, the space in front of him cracked open, and an old man slowly emerged.
"Those people are dead, you cannot go back and change it."
"Time Daoist," Chen Lan said, looking at the old man solemnly.
Who else would come to stop him at this moment but the Time Guardian here?
"The Celestial Domain is destroyed, and you still won’t let me go back and change the past?" Chen Lan said coldly.
"The Celestial Domain is gone, so what? I’m not its Guardian," the Time Daoist sneered.
Hearing this, Chen Lan’s pupils contracted as he understood that the Time Daoist came from the heavens, likely already controlling the Celestial Domain’s Time Guardian.
"It seems our battle must happen sooner," Chen Lan said calmly, summoning the Demon God Sword to confront the Time Daoist.
Seeing this, the Time Daoist laughed, throwing his head back: "Ignorant! You think you alone can deal with me? Very well, a naive child like you truly doesn’t understand the power of the Time Dao."
After saying this, the Time Daoist shook his head, concentrated, and stopped time, preparing to send Chen Lan on his way.
"Time Stopped? But it won’t work on me," Chen Lan sneered.
The Time Daoist’s eyes widened, staring at the still-moving Chen Lan in disbelief: "You actually mastered the Time Dao and succeeded in the challenge?"
"That’s right, you can’t do anything to me because our strengths are similar, your time manipulation doesn’t work on me, nor does mine on you. How will you stop me?"
Hearing this, the Time Daoist fell silent, realizing Chen Lan’s mastery of the Time Great Dao was equally profound, leaving him at a loss.
He could only sneer, "In that case, go ahead and change the past if you wish, but you cannot withstand His Divine Techniques; returning is a dead end."
The fate of the Celestial Domain is predestined; Chen Lan’s return is futile. His Divine Techniques cannot be easily blocked, and even if blocked, death is certain.
With nothing else he could do, the Time Daoist would let Chen Lan return to his own demise.
Seeing the Time Daoist not intending to stop him, Chen Lan whispered, "Return to ten minutes ago, when the Celestial Emperor had just fallen."
In an instant, a golden light enveloped him as he activated the Power of Time, going back to the past!
