The form of the Ancient Sea God is no longer in the deep sea. Ever since he blinded Yu Ziqing last time, he has retreated when necessary. The Destruction Heavenly Tribulation he summoned didn't kill Yu Ziqing, it actually helped him.
This time, the Cliff Divine King descended, full of ambition, yet before he could exert any power, he was killed at the edge of existence.
In battles of this magnitude, the outcome is fixed the moment it occurs.
Like the stone buried deep in the River of Time, no storm can turn it into a ripple.
The Ancient Sea God himself lost the Ancient God True Body, lost the True Form, and unlike the Cliff Divine King, he had no chance to emerge and confront people head-on.
He can only watch, only feel.
Watching through the eyes of all gods, through the eyes of ancient gods, seeing that the Mountain Lord, who is clearly the most powerful, is regarded by them as the least threatening.
Breaking the Dao of all gods, knocking down the rank of the Cliff Divine King, being one of all gods, the utmost undying, becomes thoroughly a thing of the past.
At that moment, the battle was already over.
Falling from rank, the gods and devils, in the eyes of the Mountain Lord and that Evil Devil, are nothing more than a dish.
Literally a dish.
The Ancient Sea God can do nothing, and as long as the timeline is stretched, his current power is indeed very strong.
But this thing, without cooperation, he finds it difficult to make a full comeback.
No matter how much he alters, how much he erases, as long as there is that human Dao Cultivator he always ignored.
People will always generate new things endlessly.
Thanks to the influence of the Dao Cultivator and Dao Opener, these cultivators all have a fervent belief in "I hear the truth and then die," the stronger they are, the more so.
The Ancient Sea God sighed, seemingly understanding that this era may have to continue in stalemate.
Without all gods, what the next era will be like, he has no clue now.
At the moment of the Cliff Divine King's fall, he was already prepared, not planning any major moves for this era.
For the days ahead, just continue maintaining the old tactics, constantly altering, constantly erasing, continuously weakening.
Until the next era, when the influence of this era's people is almost erased, he can come again.
His greatest advantage is that he can ignore the gains and losses of any era.
He can endure, waiting until he has exhausted all those who broke through the ceiling of an era.
Even if he cannot erase the inheritance left by these strong ones, he can make those who come after unable to complete the cultivation due to various reasons.
Accumulating bit by bit, until it ends in the result of lost transmission.
Just like some classics left by the big shots in the past, he cannot alter a single word, yet he can let the meaning of a word, a phrase change in understanding as time passes.
Like the word chrysanthemum itself, without any change, but as time goes by, it gains different meanings.
Similarly, the term "emptiness brews wind," when understood by people, its implication can do a complete 180-degree turn.
This is what the Ancient Sea God has always done, when he starts something, from the beginning to the end, it is often extended beyond the lifespan limit of a Ninth Tier cultivator.
He absolutely won't let many cultivators see the end from the beginning.
This greatly increases the success rate of his alterations.
Even if he alters ten thousand times, it might not result in even a slight change, but he has plenty of time and can keep attempting repeatedly.
Just as the Ancient Sea God felt he could give up on this era and start godly concealment, he sensed the call of the Evil Devil.
That strange call, don't know using what method, directly making him sense it.
The moment he sensed it, he felt something was wrong, immediately leaping into that unknown perspective, appearing above the River of Time.
The next moment, he sensed he was being locked onto.
He didn't respond, and it didn't matter, as long as sensing the call, it formed a connection.
Soon, the Ancient Sea God saw Yu Ziqing.
As though he stood above the surface of the River of Time, while Yu Ziqing stood on the shore looking at him.
But unfortunately, this time, Yu Ziqing showed no reaction, those dim, unfocused eyes directly severed any chance of Yu Ziqing peeking into the River of Time again.
Yu Ziqing "saw" the Ancient Sea God and sighed regretfully.
He had previously scrutinized many operational logs of the Ancient Sea God, already completing part of the information.
Originally, he just tried to see if he could draw the sword a second time, to solve the Ancient Sea God as well.
Unfortunately, although he saw the Ancient Sea God, he didn't obtain the other's True Name.
Because the Ancient Sea God fundamentally has no True Name.
His True Name is blank.
Without triggering the sword draw, Yu Ziqing isn't sure whether the Ancient Sea God, having no True Name, counts as failing to fill the True Name as the first element, or if the True Name element can be directly ignored.
Because experiences, abilities, etc. are certainly incomplete as well.
This fellow nearly possesses endless time within the River of Time.
The operational logs obtained last time certainly don't encompass all the actions of the Ancient Sea God.
Unable to draw the sword, Yu Ziqing isn't surprised.
The other must have witnessed the fall of the Cliff Divine King, hence must know that the True Name is a critical fatal flaw.
