Chapter 1867: 509: The End of Time, Gathering Power

If it weren't for the influence of the Juice, he would dare to twist his head off and kick it like a ball. Yu Ziqing calculated the time and didn't rush to leave; he continued to traverse the last remaining parts of the East Sea.

After spending a few days stepping across what remained of the East Sea, he directly opened the Bridge of Fairyland and returned to the northernmost part of Dadui.

Then he went north, into Jinlan Mountain.

He passed through the locust forest and arrived at the southwestern corner of Jinlan Mountain, where everything was as usual.

A bunch of Magic Plants that had grown from infancy to maturity entrenched themselves here, encircling the Juice at the center.

The Juice still hadn't changed much from before, resembling a seedling that had just been nurtured and hadn't yet bloomed, with only a constant intangible glow falling from its leaves.

Yu Ziqing thought that maybe because he had been sleeping next to the Juice, he had unknowingly influenced it.

Yu Ziqing sat before the Juice, examined the soil, found no issues, and then told a few small stories, applying a thin layer of fertilizer.

When it seemed sufficient, Yu Ziqing asked,

"That Ancient Sea God with a power on his body exhibited the outward appearance of a victory spring flower, was this your doing?"

The Juice didn't react, so Yu Ziqing looked at the Mouth Replacement Cannibal Flower beside him.

He dug out some meat from his storage ring and tossed it to the Cannibal Flower.

The Cannibal Flower, being particular about manners, first answered the question as the mouth replacement before eating.

"No."

Yu Ziqing was somewhat baffled, then why did the seed on the Ancient Sea God grow into the appearance of a victory spring flower?

This certainly wasn't a coincidence.

There's absolutely no possibility for such a coincidence to occur.

The glow falling from the Juice's body lightly shimmered.

After eating a large piece of Great Demon Meat, the Cannibal Flower immediately continued,

"It's influenced by his own power, the power of Immortal Herbs."

The power of Immortal Herbs...

Yu Ziqing's mind turned, suddenly realizing the truth.

"Because he bears the Kan."

"Yes." The Mouth Replacement Cannibal Flower was terse.

Yu Ziqing thought again, something seemed amiss.

The Juice hadn't intervened or exerted influence, yet the seed he planted still grew into the appearance of the victory spring flower, affected by the Kan.

Wasn't it said that the Immortal Herb involved in the evolution of the world wasn't the Juice?

There's no way that Immortal Herb also grew to look like the victory spring flower?

Or was it because Yu Ziqing planted the seed, so it was influenced by Yu Ziqing himself?

"Was the Kan left by the Juice back then?"

"No."

Yu Ziqing felt a bit disappointed, sensing he was onto something, yet something crucial was still missing.

Then, the Mouth Replacement Cannibal Flower continued,

"It was left by the elder brother before the last one."

"Hmm?"

Yu Ziqing gave it some thought and took out his hairless Duster Pole.

"This one?"

"Yes."

"Isn't this the same thing?" Yu Ziqing felt a bit numb.

"No, the elder brother is the elder brother, and the former elder brother is the former elder brother, completely different, absolutely different!" The Mouth Replacement Cannibal Flower uncharacteristically said a few more words, speaking exceptionally earnestly and seriously.

Yu Ziqing quickly nodded, hastily correcting himself.

"Indeed, it's entirely different, reincarnation is a complete new beginning."

He looked at the Duster Pole, which was transformed from an old stump, and roughly understood.

Once, the Immortal Herb was called the Story of Time, and now it is called Juice.

Just like the most thorough reincarnation, it's already a complete new beginning, entirely not the same person.

In terms of cognition, they should not be lumped together, especially for Yu Ziqing, who should not mix them up.

Back then, when he found the Juice, he deduced that it had bloomed nine times and could no longer bloom, belonging to a truly old stump, merely still alive.

He brought new life to the Juice, another life, fundamentally unwilling for the Juice to bloom once more.

Because he didn't know whether if the Juice bloomed again, it would wither completely.

Now, even fertilizing is done cautiously, fearing inadvertent harm from over-fertilizing.

At this moment, he pondered whether his previous understanding might have been flawed.

Perhaps the Juice didn't count blooming nine times as one life, but each blossom already represented an entire life.

Nine times was indeed the limit.

The benefit is living up to nine lives.

But the downside was clear too, the rank of Immortal Herb was too high; at this point, even the Immortal Herb couldn't live another life, and naturally, no one could assist.

Yu Ziqing suppressed his conjectures and distractions; he didn't want his thoughts to influence the Juice.

He looked at the Duster Pole transformed from the old stump in his hand as new thoughts began to emerge.

He unleashed the biggest lesson, throwing the lead into the Mist Sea, seemingly bringing boundless possibilities for evolution.

Shi told him there were countless Ancient Sea Gods in the River of Time, but that power was swiftly infecting those countless Ancient Sea Gods at an accelerating pace.

That thing has an indescribable infectiousness; as long as there's a trace of connection, it can be transmitted over.

Come to think of it, fear is inherently transferable, even between two completely unrelated individuals, once a connection is established through a certain event, fear can be transmitted.

Not to mention the Ancient Sea Gods, leaving countless traces in the River of Time, each one is him.

It seems reasonable to infect across the River of Time.

Yu Ziqing was contemplating a matter earlier; despite the Ancient Sea God bearing the Kan, this thing might not grant him greater strength, but it's the key to his current invulnerability.

Because to utterly destroy the Ancient Sea God before the evolution of the world, Yu Ziqing might find another way.
