With Ling Tuo's remnant spirit annihilated, the black hole began to collapse inward, and large amounts of starlight at the edge were drawn into the center of the black hole.

Before long, a subtle glimmer appeared in the deep, pure black core of the black hole, like a star. It then grew larger and brighter, eventually transforming into a dazzling star the size of a fist!

Immediately afterward, this star exploded, and endless starlight surged out, merging with the black hole to form a celestial body with terrifying suction and formidable pressure!

The celestial body was like a black hole clad in a layer of starlight!

The Taiyin and Star powers were perfectly integrated!

In an instant, the previously dominant, fierce, and overbearing Solar Source, due to its inherent characteristics, dimmed, and a large amount of Solar Divine Power was drawn away by the new black hole!

The two massive celestial bodies no longer seemed to be in a posture of struggle and collision, but more like the Solar Source being firmly attracted by a magnet!

The voice of the Star Lord echoed from all directions, layer upon layer. "Ling Tuo has been reduced to ashes. No matter what methods he left behind, no matter what trump cards you hold, you can no longer stop me from seizing the Solar Source!"

"Yuanshi Tianzun, your defeat is sealed!" Zhang Yuanqing, within the Solar Source, did not respond, but suicidally unleashed light and heat. Even if he was at an absolute disadvantage, even if the Source Power was collapsing like a dam, he continued to burn the Star Lord's soul and body.

He seemed determined to tear off a piece of the enemy's flesh before dying!

At the bottom of the mountain temple, the hanging roots of the tree wrapped around the stone coffin, a bizarre and eerie scene permeated with a Chinese-style horror!

The tree demon was completely unaware of Zhang Yuanqing's arrival, quietly lying dormant!

The moment Zhang Yuanqing entered the mountain temple, the original temple, now the tree demon, fell into the illusion he had woven!

Even if the mountain temple were destroyed, it would not notice anything!

"Da da," Zhang Yuanqing's footsteps echoed in the empty temple, as he came to the stone coffin!

He scanned it with his divine sense and suddenly frowned. There were no mental fluctuations in the coffin. The Third Mountain Goddess seemed to have truly died many years ago!

Both body and soul were in a state of "Nirvana." How did I awaken her back then?

A hint of doubt arose in Zhang Yuanqing's mind!

He thought of more details. Silver Night Princess stole the Third Mountain Goddess's important coffin heart, yet the old hag did not awaken. But I just opened the coffin, and she woke up?

After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Yuanqing suddenly shook his head and laughed. "So that's it."

In the old hag's current state, if he didn't act now, she would probably continue to sleep for countless years, unaware of the passage of time. The newbie Yuanshi Tianzun, entering the Lingjing Xingzhe tunnel in a few days, would not be able to open the coffin and awaken her. And if the old hag didn't wake up, Yuanshi Tianzun could not achieve a glorious life!

The old hag was indeed awakened by him, but not by the Yuanshi Tianzun in reality, but by the Yuanshi Tianzun who traveled through time!

"Interesting. If the profession of昊天上帝(Haotian Shangdi)is born and becomes a Lingjing Xingzhe of that profession, it will definitely be sought after. I've even thought of a name - 'Time Assassin' for the extraordinary stage!" Zhang Yuanqing muttered.

Thinking this, Zhang Yuanqing closed his eyes and, through emotional manipulation, slowly communicated with the Third Mountain Goddess's hibernating primordial spirit.

After much effort, the Third Mountain Goddess finally showed a weak mental fluctuation!

Zhang Yuanqing stopped in time. He didn't want to awaken the Third Mountain Goddess at this time. He guided that weak spirit and began to weave a dream!

In the dream, the high halls of the Song Dynasty appeared one by one. In the imperial garden, a noble imperial princess stood by an artificial pond, picking up a few fish food and scattering it into the water, attracting koi to compete for it!

Suddenly, a figure rose from the surface of the water, a handsome man in a golden changpao.

The princess turned her head and looked around, finding that the maids, eunuchs, and distant guards were oblivious to the sudden appearance of the man!

She frowned and coldly said, "Who are you?"

In the dream, she was clearly weak and without strength, but her demeanor was natural and majestic, like an inviolable goddess!

Zhang Yuanqing gazed at that exquisite face, his eyes falling on her sensual and full lips. Recalling her later stern and aloof demeanor, he felt a stirring in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cynical smile: "I am the man you will serve in the future. I am the Lord of Heaven and Earth, an extraterrestrial deity, the Supreme Heavenly Emperor of the Three Thousand Worlds. Today, I have descended to this realm to choose a concubine, Zhao Youqing. Your looks are acceptable, you can start with the concubine ranks!"

His current appearance was randomly transformed, neither the Demon Lord nor Yuanshi Tianzun. After all, he couldn't let the old hag discover that it was the Demon Lord or Yuanshi Tianzun who awakened her!

Since it wasn't the appearance of either of his personas, he didn't mind teasing the old hag, since she wouldn't be able to find out anyway!

Zhang Yuanqing had had such thoughts for a long time, but before, he was just a scrub and didn't dare. Later, when his main body became the Lord of the Sun, he naturally wouldn't have such low-level, wicked tastes!

But this was his clone, so he could play around as he pleased. The princess's pretty face immediately frosted over. Just as she was about to call for the palace guards, she heard the man in the golden robe in the pool retract his cynical smile and solemnly say, "Zhao Youqing, the great dream of a thousand years is over. The Age of the End has passed, and the opportunity for Changsheng (eternal life) has returned to the world. It is time for you to awaken..."

It is time for you to awaken.

These words echoed endlessly in the princess's sea of consciousness, bringing lingering ripples!

And Zhang Yuanqing had already left the dream and quietly departed!

Zhang Yuanqing already knew where to go for his third journey into the future!

In this time travel, there were two time nodes that he absolutely had to return to: one was to take the small sun to complete the Solar Source, and the other was to stop the Star Lord's conspiracy!

He had also considered whether to travel back a hundred years and kill the Star Lord before he grew up!

But after using the digital watch, Zhang Yuanqing discovered that the power stored in the digital watch was not enough to travel through a hundred years of time!

"The time when your moral values disappeared was..." He pressed the button and adjusted the time to December 16, 2023!

During the killing dungeon, Zhang Yuanqing immediately entered the time tunnel and headed to December 16th of last year in a traversal where he could not perceive time!

When he returned to reality, he found himself in the CBd district of Songhai. Police sirens were blaring, and people were fleeing in panic everywhere on the streets. The sound of gas pipelines exploding came from the shops along the street!

The shopping mall was the hardest hit area. Gu insects and vengeful spirits were rampant and roaring. Corpses were everywhere on the ground!

However, he never saw any figures of evil practitioners. Compared to the swarm of ordinary people, the number of Lingjing Xingzhe was too small. Most of the chaos was caused by panic, and some was the result of skill-induced bloodshed!

This was the time node he had to descend to. After regaining his memories and knowing that he was the Demon Lord, Zhang Yuanqing realized that the obsession he had had in the killing dungeon was not a true obsession!

After obtaining the complete digital watch tonight and realizing that he could travel through time, his original obsession was precisely his future self traveling back!

So he had to come here!

In addition to the convergence of the world lines, the more important reason was that this was a conspiracy that had to be stopped. If he could not retrieve the Merit List, the Star Lord would obtain the fragments of the Compass of Light and open the dungeon ahead of time!

Zhang Yuanqing's body ignited with golden light, leaving reality and entering the Lingjing world. Immediately, he saw a huge black moon hanging in the center of the starry sky, constantly devouring stars!

The Lingjing world was as vast as the starry sky, and he was in it like a mote of dust. Ling Tuo did not discover him!

"Heh..." Zhang Yuanqing sneered, his eyes containing golden light, and slowly surveyed the Lingjing world. Before long, based on his memories from last year, he found the location of the killing dungeon - the World Museum!

He turned into a golden light and swept towards the killing dungeon - the World Museum.

With the digital watch and the Golden Crow, it was easy for him to enter the killing dungeon. He seemed to have some kind of authority to enter the Lingjing dungeons at will!

This was both the authority brought by the Golden Crow and the authority of the digital watch!

The former symbolized the highest authority of the Lingjing, and the latter symbolized the only existing administrator of the Lingjing!

The only existing administrator!

After entering the killing dungeon, Zhang Yuanqing saw the familiar Hall of the Gods, and saw Xiahou Aotian, Qingzhu, Alicia, Huang Taiji, Yin Ji, and others fallen into the deep darkness, plunged into slumber!

Also slumbering was the evil faction's Bloodbath!

He pressed the pause button on the digital watch, and a gray-white power covered the surroundings like a tide.

"Wake up, wake up!"

Enveloped in golden light, Zhang Yuanqing landed next to "Yuanshi Tianzun" and communicated with his drowsy consciousness.

"If you don't wake up, your teammates are going to die!"

"Who are you?"

"I'm here to help you cheat! The Sleeping Dragon Duke knew the script in advance and can collect cultural relics without injury. The NPCs in the dungeon have also been bought off by the other side. Tsk tsk, how can you play without cheating in this day and age!"

Zhang Yuanqing spoke to himself as if he were reliving his life, but with a different identity and a different perspective!

Then, according to the development of the "script," he deceived this timeline's self that he was the Demon Lord's obsession. This was both a playful taste and to dispel Yuanshi Tianzun's doubts and prevent him from digging deeper!

Knowing too much would only allow the Star Lord to obtain more information!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing's heart stirred slightly.

He warned, "Don't make yourself the focus. It won't do you any good!"

After that, he manipulated the identity of "Yuanshi Tianzun" and urged the power of the Golden Crow to snatch back the Merit List from the Lord of Taiyin!

Before leaving, he pretended to be profound and said, "I'll give you a clear path... I left something very important in the Treasure Pavilion of the Yuhua Xianmen. If you are in a desperate situation, you can open the treasure. Perhaps there will be a glimmer of hope!"

"Kid, I don't recommend you explore the path of saving the world. If you have this thing, making it public will lose its value as a trump card!"

He said this because he didn't want his future self to open the Treasure Pavilion of the Yuhua Xianmen in advance. Otherwise, how could he deceive the Star Lord, who possessed the ability to deduce all things?

Leaving these words, he transformed into a starlight and disappeared!

Returning to the real world, Zhang Yuanqing once again activated the time travel function. This time it was a random traversal, and he didn't know which time period he would enter!

After experiencing the traversal of the time tunnel, Zhang Yuanqing looked at the digital watch in his hand when he returned to reality!

The watch showed the time: August 21, 2022!
