Open up and break into another world

Time… Pause!

Time ceased to flow, and everything in God's Domain came to a standstill.

Including thoughts.

Xu Ming, the Corpse Emperor, and the others had no idea that time had stopped; because even their thoughts had ceased to function!

Even if time stopped for billions of years, it would be less than an instant for them!

Suddenly, a figure appeared, stepping through the void; the surrounding time stagnation did not affect her in the slightest!

It was as if she existed beyond time!

Years flowed, eternity decayed, but she remained eternal!

This slender figure slowly walked to Xu Ming and gazed at him for a long time.

She was… Gu Hanmo.

Gu Hanmo looked at Xu Ming like this, her eyes filled with extremely complex emotions.

And Xu Ming, from his divine body to his thoughts, was completely in a state of "time pause," and had no idea what was happening "now."

In fact, Xu Ming's "now" and Gu Hanmo's "now" were already two completely different concepts!

At this moment, as soon as a thought arose in Gu Hanmo's mind, without even looking at the Corpse Emperor, the Corpse Emperor completely dissolved, as if this person had never appeared in the endless chaos!

Afterward, Gu Hanmo walked to face Xu Ming and examined him closely.

At this time, Xu Ming's expression and temperament were frozen in infinite horror.

Suddenly, Gu Hanmo smiled knowingly.

The smile was incomparably gentle, as if it could melt ice and snow.

"In my previous life, I lived a lonely life, climbing to the peak of cultivation; but in the end, I still ended up dying and disappearing!

Using the 'Reincarnation Technique' allowed me to escape the pursuit of my enemies, and also allowed me to meet you…"

At this moment, Gu Hanmo's memories from her previous and current lives all converged!

In her previous life, she had never had a loved one; and Xu Ming was Gu Hanmo's only love in both her previous and current lives.

"I originally wanted to hide my strength forever, so that I wouldn't be discovered by my enemies, and I could live quietly by your side forever!

Now it seems that it is impossible…"

Gu Hanmo sighed faintly.

Her cherry lips slowly approached Xu Ming and gently kissed him.

After the kiss, the surroundings were still in a time pause; but Xu Ming was already above time.

"This is…?"

Xu Ming didn't realize that time had paused for a moment; what he saw was—the Corpse Emperor was about to grab him, and then suddenly, the Corpse Emperor disappeared; replaced by Gu Hanmo appearing in front of him.

What's going on!?

Around?

Xu Ming looked around in confusion.

Only then did he realize that everything around him was still.

The expressions of Wunan and Star Lord Piaomiao were frozen in horror and unwillingness.

The endless spatial cracks torn open during the battle were also completely still; no longer extending, nor healing.

At the edge of God's Domain, the chaotic energy had stopped surging.

When light passed through, it was also stopped in the void.

On the Boundless Continent, on the Wild Mountain, a withered yellow leaf was falling, also frozen in mid-air.

Everything Xu Ming could see seemed to be frozen in a photograph.

"This…"

Xu Ming was extremely horrified.

Although Xu Ming had experienced a "time pause" once when the Chaos Universe bestowed upon him the secret technique "Myriad Dao Ephemeral Flower"; but that time, Xu Ming's body could not move, and even his senses were plunged into complete darkness.

But now, Xu Ming was standing at a higher realm, above time!

—Of course, this higher realm was not Xu Ming's own strength, but Gu Hanmo brought him up to it.

Xu Ming forcibly calmed the shock and confusion in his heart: "Hanmo, this is…?"

"Xu Ming!"

Gu Hanmo looked at Xu Ming—her eyes told Xu Ming that she was still that Gu Hanmo.

"The story I'm about to tell you may be unbelievable, but listen to me first!"

Gu Hanmo said.

"Okay!"

Xu Ming calmed down and listened patiently.

"Look!"

With a wave of Gu Hanmo's hand, a illusory and turbulent river appeared under her and Xu Ming's feet.

The long river originated from infinity and flowed to infinity.

"This is a part of the River of Time!"

Gu Hanmo smiled and said, "Every moment in the entire Chaos Universe is in this flowing River of Time!"

Xu Ming was a little confused.

River of Time?

What is this thing?

"That section—"

Gu Hanmo pointed to a section of the River of Time and said, "In my previous life, I was born in that section of the River of Time!

After cultivating for endless years, I was able to step into the supreme realm, transcend time, and jump out of the River of Time from then on; from then on, the passage of time has no meaning to me!

But…"

Gu Hanmo paused and said: "But, in the universe, there are several other peak existences who have reached the realm of 'Transcending Time'!"

Yes, there are several others!

But there are only a few, countable on fingers!

These are the most peak existences in the entire universe!

Every existence at this level is above time, traveling through the past and future…

For example, Gu Hanmo, she can go to the beginning of chaos, the birth of the universe, and she can also go to the end of the universe.

Traveling through the past and future, unimpeded.

"Because of some things, I offended several other existences who 'Transcended Time', and was hunted down by them!

We fought from the 'past' to the 'future', and from the 'future' to the 'past'; the battle affected countless eras in the universe… but in the end, I still couldn't escape their pursuit!"

Gu Hanmo said, "On the line of life and death, I had to use the 'Reincarnation Technique' to hide in the River of Time!

That is… Gu Hanmo you know!"

Xu Ming stared blankly at Gu Hanmo, feeling a little dizzy.

"Xu Ming, I am very fortunate to have met you!"

Gu Hanmo said again, "Because… after using the Reincarnation Technique, I might just be an ordinary person!

If the talent is not good enough, and I can't cultivate to a certain realm, then I will never be able to awaken the memories of my previous life; even, I might be annihilated in the River of Time!

—To be honest, my talent in this life is really very ordinary; if I hadn't met you, it would have been difficult to even become a god!

The greatest possibility is to be like a mortal, forever annihilated in the River of Time!"

"And you… tried every means to help me improve my strength, and finally let me awaken the memories of my previous life, and also restore part of the strength of my previous life!"

As Xu Ming listened, his face suddenly changed: "Hanmo, you should have awakened for some time, right?"

"That's right!"

Gu Hanmo said.

"Then why didn't you tell me these things before, but suddenly tell me now?"

Xu Ming seemed to realize something.

Gu Hanmo sighed: "Because, as soon as I use my strength, it arouses the karma of my previous life!

Those enemies of my previous life, I am afraid they have already sensed my existence; and, it is very likely that they are 'swimming' towards me through the River of Time!

So… I have to go!"

"Go alone!"

Gu Hanmo said solemnly.
