"So it is... the 'Dominator' controls everything, and the 'Ancient Ones' can even go a step further, controlling history and time? Or rather... they can make use of the power of the dust of history to repel their enemies back to some point in their own past..."

Above the balcony.

Zhong Shenxiu took a sip of red wine.

His plan was simple, still to muddle through the chaos.

When the corpses of the immortals made their move and the true battlefield descended into chaos, he would fish out something good from within the Medici royal household.

To obtain a cursed object transformed from 'unique divinity' would naturally be best.

Although the prospects for this did not seem large.

"As for how to find the 'Moist Bone Forest,' I already have some clues... By utilizing Kerry's contamination, I can trace back to the source..."

This cursed object had the characteristic of 'contamination through knowledge.'

Although Zhong Shenxiu had sealed Kerry's memories, he hadn't sealed his own. He merely used spatial separation to suppress and isolate the contamination.

When the time came to act, he would only need to slightly release the suppression, allow himself to be a little contaminated by the 'Moist Bone Forest,' and then he could use this connection to directly trace the specific location of his quarry!

And besides, just a little contamination wouldn't kill Kerry; Zhong Shenxiu could totally bear it.

"It's a pity... Knowing where it is doesn't count for much... The item suspected of being 'unique divinity' has turned into a quite formidable cursed object, surely held in the hands of an important member of the Medici Family. Perhaps it's even going to be used in this battle..."

"Finding it is not the problem; how to get it in hand is the real huge issue."

"Or... maybe just change the target."

...

Above the battlefield.

The aura of the Yellow Heaven Dharma Body continued to wane, yet it still maintained its Dharma Body state.

It let out a roar, and suddenly, the twilight glow encroached upon the defense lines, surrounding that enormous mummified hand and the 'Ancient One' Clement atop it.

"Destiny..."

A faint daze surfaced on Clement's handsome face, as if he was being suppressed by this world.

Boom!

The next instant, several terrifying presences burst forth from within the ranks of the Eastern Empire.

Two colossal Dharma Bodies emerged towering into the sky, encircled by a dozen Primordial Spirits providing defense, emitting infinite Divine Light, attacking this progenitor of the Medici Family.

Dragon-Tiger Dharma Body!

Nine-Dragon Dharma Body!

They were from the Taishang Dragon Tiger Sect's Sect Leader, Qingwei Dao Miao Zhenjun, and a Dharma Body Tributor from the Imperial Family!

For this battle, the Imperial Family governing Central Earth was naturally even more bound by duty!

Dragons roared and tigers howled in the void as a gigantic palm pressed down, shattering the mummified arm with a grab.

Immediately after, nine fierce and terrifying dragons encircled Clement, dismembering him on the spot.

Pfft!

With a full-force strike from the three great Dharma Bodies, even an 'Ancient One' was set to perish!

In the sky, a cloud of blood mist appeared.

Seeing this, the other Primordial Spirits let out cries of joy, each activating their most proficient techniques, all kinds of Divine and demonic lights hitting the iron defense lines, slaughtering alongside the Medici Family's 'Controllers' and 'Dominators.'

"No, this person has not perished..."

Qingwei Dao Miao Zhenjun calculated with his fingers, and the Dragon-Tiger Dharma Body suddenly turned around, with infinite Five Elements Divine Light raining down.

In the void, Clement's figure re-emerged, astonishingly without a single injury.

'This ability... seems to be related to time, he has returned to a moment earlier...'

The three great Dharma Bodies rapidly exchanged divine thoughts.

"This is the ability of the 'Ancients,' to twist history... The past me, the present me, can switch with each other... When I can penetrate the future self, I shall ascend above the mundane and become a near-god!"

Clement articulated in ancient secret grace language, each character wriggling like a worm, possessing its own life, seeking to burrow into the eardrums of all who heard it.

"Hmph!"

True Monarch Zhang merely snorted coldly, and a vast expanse of purple qi dissolved the demonic sounds.

Clement, too, was only comparable to a formidable Dharma Body. It was already quite an achievement for him to fight on par with the Taiping Sect Master and Taiping Guangmiao True Monarch.

Even relying on his peculiar abilities to briefly entangle with the three great True Monarchs, he ultimately could not escape the fate of being beaten to death!

"You barbarians, who fear might but not virtue, dare to trespass on my lands, today I shall terminate your national destiny!"

The Nine Dragons Dharma Body from the Imperial Family let out an ear-splitting roar, commanding nine fierce dragons, abandoning Clement, and instead charged towards Kaleson City.

This was a strategy of attacking the enemy's necessary rescue. If Clement did not aid, this tributor would not hesitate to turn Kaleson into a river of blood!

...

Time rewound a moment.

Kerry walked out of a building in the flea market, utterly dispirited.

He had just wanted to attend a meeting of the anti-war organization, only to find that it had vanished!

This made him feel a sense of sad deception, like having invested his savings into a venture, only to be told a few days later that the platform had absconded.

'Why...'

'Why did they dissolve... and not even inform me...'

'I still wanted to share about the recent events I encountered, to discuss the great power of Lord Shenxiu...'

Kerry aimlessly wandered the streets, when he suddenly saw a flood of tense soldiers mobilizing, enforcing martial law.

Then, explosions were heard from the outskirts.

'My God... the army of the Eastern Empire has already reached the outskirts, and that incompetent King and the parliament, they have been concealing this news?'

Kerry's eyes widened as he instinctively blended into the crowd, looking for a place of refuge.

Before long, he heard that gentle voice by his ear, saw the radiance from the spiritual energy overflowing from the people around him, bestowing a blessing upon the entire city.

"Is it the great Patriarch of the Traveler Church?"

"Thank the Lord of the Gate!"

"Even if the kingdom abandons us, the church will not!"

The surrounding citizens prayed fervently, weeping inconsolably.

At the same time, a cannonball fell directly above them and exploded, yet caused little harm. This made them even more devoted, showing signs of becoming fanatics.

Afterward, Kerry witnessed the 'miracle' of the eastern fortress rising from the ground and the terrifying strength of the Eastern cultivators.

The entrance of the 'Ancients,' Clement, made him almost believe he was living in ancient history.

The next moment, he saw a ferocious and monstrous dragon descending from the sky.

Its twisted and dark scales, like dirty talismans, just the sight of them inflicted great harm.

Among the civilians around Kerry, some had already covered their eyes, blood seeping through the gaps between their fingers.

Had it not been for the earlier blessings, they might have died on the spot.

'An Eastern demigod is making a move against me...'

A realization dawned in Kerry's heart, soon filled with despair.

His last silent prayer was to 'Lord Shenxiu,' hoping that the great being would rescue him from this plight.

Or at least... save his soul after death.

'This is... the tragedy of the commoner...'
