"Sever the river of time?" Ye Ling's eyes flashed with surprise.
The World-Ending Spirit Fire said, "That's right, sever the river of time. The reason the Remnant Evil race can resist your attacks is their near-infinite resources from various eras. But if you sever the river of time and prevent the Remnant Evil race from drawing power from other timelines, their strength will not outlast yours, and you will be able to harm the Lord of Remnant Evil."
Ye Ling frowned, "What are the risks of doing so?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire said, "Unpredictable!"
"Unpredictable?"
"Indeed, as no one has ever done this before. It might throw all major timelines into chaos, or it might sever the past from the future, or even cause the river of time to burst its banks, leading to the annihilation of countless timelines."
"The consequences are that severe?"
Hearing the World-Ending Spirit Fire's words, Ye Ling was utterly shocked. If he did this and caused the destruction of endless timelines, leading to the deaths of trillions of lives, wouldn't his actions be no different from the Remnant Evil race?
The World-Ending Spirit Fire said, "These are just my speculations. Perhaps nothing will happen after you sever the river of time. It all depends on your choice." Da Feng Novel Network
"Either you take a great risk to sever the river of time and fight to kill the Lord of Remnant Evil, or we retreat now and discuss how to deal with the Lord of Remnant Evil later."
"Kid, no one can make this choice for you. No matter what you choose now, countless lives may die because of it. This is a sin you must bear."
Ye Ling said in a low voice, "A sin I must bear..."
Indeed, even if he were to retreat now and spare the Lord of Remnant Evil, when the Remnant Evil race returned, all major timelines would still fall into their clutches.
The entire world would once again be plunged into endless darkness.
Even worse, the Remnant Evil race might escalate their slaughter of various civilizations to suppress Ye Ling's growth!
However, by doing so, Ye Ling could attribute all these sins to the Remnant Evil race, making himself feel better.
After that, Ye Ling could still lead the charge against the Remnant Evil race and become the savior in the eyes of billions of lives.
But if Ye Ling chose to sever the river of time, all the consequences would be borne by Ye Ling alone, and all that karma would fall upon him.
The World-Ending Spirit Fire understood this clearly, which was why he offered no suggestions on the matter, leaving the choice entirely to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling was in a dilemma, but the surrounding Remnant Evil race would not wait for him. More and more Remnant Evil race members arrived from other timelines to reinforce the defenses of the Lord of Remnant Evil.
Ye Ling did not hesitate for long. His gaze quickly became resolute, and he said, "So be it. Whatever sin it may be, I will bear it. World-Ending Spirit Fire, let's go sever the river of time!"
"Good!"
Seeing Ye Ling's determination, the World-Ending Spirit Fire did not hesitate and said, "I will teach you how to sever the river of time!"
As Ye Ling and the World-Ending Spirit Fire cooperated, Ye Ling quickly learned the method of severing the river of time.
Ye Ling's current strength was already close to that of a Creation God. With his power, severing the river of time was not a problem.
What he lacked was experience.
After learning how to sever the river of time, Ye Ling's expression became even more resolute. He immediately tore through space and time, arriving above the river of time.
Rumble...
The majestic river of time surged below Ye Ling, filled with endless power.
Looking around, the river contained infinite timelines.
"What a magnificent river of time... This is on a completely different level from the river of time in the Inner Universe!"
This was the first time Ye Ling had seen the river of time, and he was completely awestruck by its grandeur and magnificence, becoming lost in the sight.
Subconsciously, Ye Ling wanted to find his own timeline within the river of time, but he suddenly noticed a mass of black mist gathering in the downstream of the river of time, and the endless river water was being swallowed by the black mist.
"What is that?"
Seeing the black mist, Ye Ling suddenly felt a strong urge to explore it.
At this moment, the World-Ending Spirit Fire urged, "Kid, what are you waiting for? The Remnant Evil race isn't waiting for you!"
Hearing the World-Ending Spirit Fire's words, Ye Ling quickly came back to his senses, shifting his attention from the black mist to the river of time and attacked it.
"Break!"
Ye Ling unleashed a massive golden sword energy, directly cleaving the river of time in two!
Boom!!!
The majestic river of time was severed by Ye Ling!
Golden runes attached themselves to the cross-section of the river of time. The river water stopped flowing, and countless timelines collided with Ye Ling's golden runes, either merging or annihilating.
Many fragile timelines could not withstand this impact!
In that instant, Ye Ling saw a large number of lives vanish into thin air.
The World-Ending Spirit Fire urged, "Kid, the river of time has been severed. Hurry back and deal with the Lord of Remnant Evil!"
"Understood!"
Ye Ling nodded and immediately plunged into the river of time, returning to the City of Heaven.
At this moment, the sky above the City of Heaven was already filled with golden runes. The Remnant Evil race was completely isolated by the runes, and Bai Gongzi and the others could no longer obtain power from the Remnant Evil race!
Bai Gongzi looked at the sky full of golden runes with disbelief and questioned Ye Ling, "Ye Ling, how dare you? The consequences of severing the river of time are unpredictable. Even the Venerable Lord would not dare to do it... This monstrous sin, can you, the Chosen One, truly bear it?"
Ye Ling's heart was now like stone. He remained unfazed by Bai Gongzi's questioning.
He said, "As long as I can completely eradicate your Remnant Evil race, I can bear any sin!"
Bai Gongzi laughed heartily, "You say it lightly. When the timelines are in chaos and the world is in disarray, countless lives will wish to flay your skin and drain your marrow. Let's see how you bear it!"
"No one will remember that you solved the Remnant Evil race. They will only know that you destroyed everything they had!"
"So what?" Ye Ling remained resolute. "Since I have done it, I have a clear conscience. No matter the cost, you vermin must be eliminated!"
"Hahaha! Naive! Ye Ling, you are too naive!" Bai Gongzi laughed more wildly. "Ye Ling, do you really think that by eliminating our Remnant Evil race, eternal peace will be achieved?"
"You will discover then that after you paid a great price to destroy my Remnant Evil race, the world has become even worse. I can hardly imagine your despair!"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire quickly said, "Kid, don't listen to that white-skinned scoundrel's instigation. Hurry and kill him, deal with the Lord of Remnant Evil!"
"Understood!"
Ye Ling nodded, releasing his aura. A surging killing intent swept over every Remnant Evil race member present!
Bai Gongzi felt Ye Ling's killing intent and continued to laugh, "Ye Ling! I will watch you from the embrace of the Venerable Lord until the day you despair!"
"From now on, you are no longer the Chosen One... You... will be the Son of Sin!!!"
With that, Bai Gongzi self-destructed, sending all his power into the body of the Lord of Remnant Evil!
Tian Ye Xing Jun and other Remnant Evil race powerhouses followed Bai Gongzi's example, sacrificing their power to the Lord of Remnant Evil!
With the sacrifice of the Remnant Evil race members, the Lord of Remnant Evil, who had reincarnated as Long Ye, gradually woke up!
