Forget about the people watching the "movie"; even Yin Yang was completely dumbfounded.
His two targets had been eliminated just like that?
He hurriedly looked up at the sky. What about this time? Could the opponent still change "history"?
He waited for two seconds.
Nothing! That power didn't appear! It worked!
Overjoyed, Yin Yang immediately prepared to make his escape!
The abilities of a Sequence 3 were far too bizarre. It completely redefined his understanding of transcendent power—especially since this Sequence 3 hadn't even shown his face.
My guess was right. The more people witness it, and the stronger those witnesses are, the harder it is for him to alter history. It's just like solving a case. If he's the only one who knows about it, he can rewrite it however he wants. But what if there are powerful figures present? Or if a massive crowd is watching? Perhaps that's why Wan Tianqing didn't show up. After all, who in Central City is more influential than him? Once he witnesses something, it becomes an absolute fact! Even if they could rewrite history after that, the cost would surely be astronomical. Broadcasting this live so tens of thousands of people witnessed Qin Qian's death was definitely the right call.
As Yin Yang muddled through these thoughts, he poured his spirituality into the teleportation array to activate it.
He had to get out of here. His mission in Central City was a complete success!
He just didn't know if the enemy would resurrect Qin Qian again later. After all, Qin Qian was the ruler of a nation, and they were currently at a critical juncture of the war.
But he quickly realized it was impossible!
Because besides the tens of thousands of citizens who witnessed Qin Qian's death, there was also the Wannian Platform!
During the first two times history was altered, the Wannian Platform had still been in the process of awakening. But by the third time, it was already fully awake!
Judging by how the Wannian Platform could easily obliterate Sequence 5s and even Sequence 4s, its standing was certainly not low.
And it had fully witnessed Qin Qian's death. No, it was the one who killed him!
Therefore, if the enemy wanted to alter history again, the difficulty would far exceed the previous two times.
It's just a pity that the Wannian Platform seems severely damaged. To execute the Royal Order, it used up almost all of its remaining energy. Wait, Royal Order? Me?
Yin Yang had been too caught up in his joy and his escape, and his brain was somewhat overtaxed, so he hadn't processed it right away.
The Wannian Platform did say it was executing a Royal Order! Could it be because of the Shang King's phantom in my divine kingdom? Did it mistake me for him because I carried a trace of the Shang King's aura? Whatever, I shouldn't overthink this right now. The outcome is good, and I need to get out of here immediately!
Yin Yang had always been cautious. He could ponder these things later; he had plenty of time.
But escaping was of the utmost urgency.
The air rippled with a soft buzz.
Everyone was frozen in place, including Yin Yang's teleportation array!
A figure had appeared over the deep pit at some point, his expression devoid of any emotion. It was Wan Tianqing!
The expressions of the heretical Sequence 4s were filled with terror. The burly man in tiger skin was so frightened his hair stood on end!
Yet Wan Tianqing acted as if they weren't even there. He simply stared quietly at the massive pit before pointing a finger through the air. The word "Pit" suddenly materialized above the crater.
With a casual wave of his hand, he erased the word.
And along with the word, the actual pit was erased as well!
Yes, the massive crater left behind by the disappearance of the Wannian Platform vanished just like that. It was as if the area had always been an empty plot of land.
Only after finishing this did Wan Tianqing turn his gaze to the cultists.
“Since you dared to assault the Wannian Platform, I assume you are prepared to pay the price.”
“Wan...”
The Sequence 4 from the True Knowledge Society tried to say something, but Wan Tianqing simply snapped his fingers.
Following the crisp sound, the bodies of the heretical Sequence 4s stiffened. A gentle breeze blew, reducing them to fine dust. Nothing remained, as if they had never existed.
The several Great Wei Sequence 4s who had come as reinforcements were so terrified they nearly fell to their knees, staring at the scene in sheer horror.
They had always known Wan Tianqing was powerful, but they never expected him to be this terrifying. After all, Wan Tianqing hadn't fought in a very long time.
“Sigh, whatever. Keeping you alive is just a hassle.”
Upon hearing this, the hairs on their necks stood on end, but they couldn't even summon the will to flee.
Wan Tianqing snapped his fingers again, and the Great Wei Sequence 4 reinforcements instantly turned to dust as well.
The entire area was now empty, save for Wan Tianqing and the elder with tucked sleeves.
The elder with tucked sleeves stared blankly at the empty air where Qin Qian had been blasted to pieces.
Wan Tianqing floated forward and pressed a hand against the elder's head. The elder with tucked sleeves finally snapped out of his daze and looked at him in confusion.
“Modify.”
A massive amount of textual data flowed out from the elder's forehead.
“From this day forth, your loyalty belongs to Qin Zhou!”
As Wan Tianqing spoke, the text began to flow back, re-merging into the elder's forehead.
Light returned to his eyes. As if only just noticing Wan Tianqing's presence, he hurriedly bowed.
“Go. Secretly welcome Qin Zhou back to succeed the throne.”
“Understood!”
Overjoyed, the elder with tucked sleeves flew toward the outskirts.
Wan Tianqing looked up at the invisible ocean in the sky and gently clapped his hands.
A gentle breeze swept through with a soft whoosh, and rain began to fall from the sky.
As the rainwater hit the ground, it turned into waves of mist. Anyone who breathed in the mist fell into a state of confusion.
The memories of Qin Qian being killed were rapidly being erased from their minds.
“The life of man is the gathering of Qi. When it gathers, there is life; when it disperses, there is death. If life and death are companions, what is there for me to worry about? Therefore, all things are one.”
His voice carried a hint of emotion as he turned to look in Yin Yang's direction.
Yin Yang was completely suppressed by his aura.
At the critical moment, the blade-wielding ghost stepped forward once again. It was Yin Yang's Gall!
It could not resist Wan Tianqing, but it could give Yin Yang a push.
The lantern-carrying ghost also activated the 【Traveler's Badge】, pouring all of its spatial energy into it and pushing it to its absolute limit.
Yin Yang's body fell backward toward the spatial gate.
Though it took time to describe, they had actually begun taking action the moment Wan Tianqing appeared. But against an opponent of Wan Tianqing's caliber, it still wasn't enough.
With a soft hum, time seemed to stand still.
Yet in the next instant, a powerful force erupted from Yin Yang's body, causing him to fall through the gate in a flash, not even giving Wan Tianqing a chance to leave a mark on him.
“Oh?”
Wan Tianqing was somewhat surprised and reached out toward the closing portal.
He was confident he could destroy the gate before the target finished teleporting! If he did, the boy would be lost in the spatial void forever.
But just as he raised his hand, that mysterious power erupted once more.
With a sudden ripple in the air, the gate vanished.
Wan Tianqing narrowed his eyes to sense the residual traces, then suddenly chuckled.
“How interesting.”
...
Yin Yang stumbled out of a spatial portal, his steps unsteady.
A few nearby cultists were caught off guard. Before they could react, the blade-wielding ghost sliced them all to pieces.
“Go!” Yin Yang urged.
Against an opponent of Wan Tianqing's caliber, a single teleportation was far from safe.
Even though the side effects of the 【Traveler's Badge】 grew more dangerous with each consecutive use, he had no choice but to ignore them for now.
