The mid-autumn moon is full, and families are reunited.
As Li Boyang slowly walked back to Li Family Village, the road lamps along the way lit up the whole night brightly.
With the guidance of these road lamps, even on a pitch-black night where you can’t see your hand in front of your face, you can still clearly distinguish the direction to move forward.
It’s also because of the deterrence of these road lamps.
The wild beasts in the mountains and forests intentionally avoid these paths, greatly ensuring the safety of the villages along the way.
However, a feature of this era is the frequent energy theft by Spirit Monsters and Gods along the route.
At first, it was only some Thunder Gods and Spirit Monsters who mastered the Power of Thunder.
Later, it developed to the point where even most Spirit Monsters and Gods wanted to obtain the "Infinite Energy" from the road lamps.
The Gods were fine because they knew the energy of the road lamps came from power plants.
So they would mostly just take away the reception devices from the road lamps, trying to figure out how to convert that endless energy for their own use.
But those Spirit Monsters obviously lacked this wisdom and often uprooted the entire road lamp.
Some Spirit Monsters and Gods, who had heard Li Boyang preach, even started refining those road lamps into their own Magical Treasures or weapons.
Thus, over this nearly one-year period, one could often see Spirit Monsters in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range holding road lamps and fighting each other.
Even if they couldn’t crack the "Electric Power Reception Device" on the road lamp.
The quality of the road lamp itself was enough to be considered a handy weapon.
The road lamp poles, cast with Xirang, Refined Steel, and concrete, were far sturdier than the naturally grown trees in the mountains and forests.
"How did you solve this problem in your era?"
Walking under the dim light, Li Boyang’s voice accurately reached Li Xudou’s ears.
"Master?"
With a hint of surprise, Li Xudou silently emerged from the shadows.
"No need to be so surprised, or do you think your ability to blend into the shadows can escape my notice?"
Li Xudou’s shadow blending ability was clearly derived from the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect, combined with some applications of Fetal Transformation and Shape-Shifting.
Additionally, since this ability came from the future, Li Boyang initially didn’t notice Li Xudou.
But the Divine Powers of this world always defy logic.
After receiving a premonition from the Omen Divine Power, Li Boyang simply performed a calculation to uncover Li Xudou’s spying.
"Master is truly the Master at any time..."
With a playful smile, Li Xudou approached and continued speaking.
"In our era, there weren’t any Gods or Spirit Monsters trying to seize these road lamps."
"Because you later integrated the strengths of a hundred schools, expanded the ’Luo Book,’ and published the method for refining ’Geng Metal’ on it."
"From then on, simple weapons and Magical Artifacts quickly replaced these road lamps."
Nodding knowingly, Li Boyang found that this approach was indeed in line with his usual style.
"Speaking of which, you’ve been appearing near the village often lately, haven’t you?"
"Is it because it’s time for you to leave, and you’re worried about the newly born you?"
To minimize his impact on this era, Li Xudou generally seldom appeared near Li Family Village.
Especially after the Moon Fall incident, as Li Xudou realized the complexity of time and space, he rarely even saw Li Jingshu and Xiaogui.
"Not really, I’m just surprised by my own origins."
"Born from Swallowing Ghostly Glow and Candlelight Essence Qi, no wonder I was chosen by the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow as Dayi’s successor."
After a light sigh, Li Xudou regained his composure and said.
"But Master, you’re right. I’ve stayed long enough in this era."
"That ’Returning to Heaven and Returning to the Sun’ Divine Power, although I haven’t fully mastered it yet, is more than enough to follow the river of time back to my original era."
As if to prove his words, Li Xudou slowly opened the Celestial Eye in the middle of his forehead.
From the perspective of that Celestial Eye, the timeline extending from Li Xudou as the starting point could be clearly seen, and his figure at this moment became faintly visible.
"Are you so confident?"
With a simple calculation, a hint of a smile appeared on Li Boyang’s face.
"The future timelines hold countless possibilities..."
"Even if a falling leaf lands in a different spot, it may evolve into another timeline."
Instantly understanding the implication in Li Boyang’s words, Li Xudou looked at the playful smile on his face, slightly dumbfounded.
"Wait... Master, what did you predict..."
Before the words could be finished, Li Xudou’s figure completely vanished from this era.
"Heh, a half-baked ’Returning to Heaven and Returning to the Sun’ Divine Power can’t wash away all the karmic ties on so many timelines of yours."
"Fated time traveler, Primordial Celestial King who reverses cause and effect..."
"I don’t know whether Li Xudou achieved the Primordial or if it was to achieve the Primordial that led to Li Xudou’s birth."
"But since you wish to be my disciple, you’d better keep practicing!"
"After all, this time I did not use the Essence Qi of Wang Shu and the Golden Crow, but the Essence Qi of You Ying and Candlelight."
"In a certain sense, you are now the embodiment of the Celestial Emperor."
"As the Celestial Emperor, the tribulations you must endure remain unchanged!"
With a long, lingering sigh, Li Boyang also opened the Celestial Eye in the middle of his forehead.
"The identity of the Primordial Celestial King is one you set for yourself, as the embodiment of the Celestial Emperor is my contention with Emperor Hao..."
"Let me see if you truly have the qualifications to enter my tutelage!"
...........................
Not hearing Li Boyang’s final words.
Li Xudou merely blinked and found himself near Li Family Village on another timeline.
Yet, looking at the wasteland submerged by the flood, at those mountain people struggling in pain and disaster, Li Xudou immediately understood the meaning behind Li Boyang’s final smile.
"Which timeline have I... arrived at?"
Looking back in the direction of Yunmeng Marsh, Li Xudou did not see the iconic Yunmeng Marsh. Instead, there stood a towering peak reaching into the clouds.
It was Feilai Peak, moreover, an undestroyed and unreformed Feilai Peak.
Li Xudou could clearly see the Ghost Gods trapped on Feilai Peak roaring and howling, trying to break free from the seal left by the Huai River Witch a thousand years ago.
[This is a timeline where Master hasn’t descended...]
An idea quickly flashed through his mind, and Li Xudou’s heart sank instantly.
Born under the prosperous era initiated by Li Boyang, Li Xudou couldn’t imagine what kind of world it would be without Li Boyang.
"Another unfamiliar God?"
Just as Li Xudou was pondering, a familiar yet exceptionally cold voice reached his ears.
"Are you under Wuzhiqi’s command too?"
"Or are you a God from Great Xia?"
Swallowing silently, Li Xudou turned with difficulty to see the Red Leopard stepping on a Fire Cloud.
"Grandmother?"
That was Xiluo from this timeline, also a guardian of Feilai Peak.
Compared to the familiar lazy big cat to Li Boyang.
The current Xiluo’s gaze was cold, her aura intimidating, presenting a truly ferocious and tyrannical Evil God demeanor.
Li Xudou couldn’t believe that this Red Leopard, who seemed ready to kill at the slightest provocation, was the same lazy, noble, tough-talking, soft-hearted Mountain God Witch grandmother he remembered.
