Chapter 975: Where Is the Justice in That?
Moreover, Ye Guan had once formed a good relationship with someone from the Parting Sorrows Sect. Shen Zong was convinced that Shen Ze\'s death had to have been orchestrated by the Second Hall Master.
However, Shen Zong knew he had to feign ignorance. Whether it was Ye Guan or the Second Hall Master, they weren\'t people the Parting Sorrows Sect could afford to provoke.
Feigning ignorance was the only way to survive here.
The reason Shen Zong led a massive group here wasn\'t to avenge Shen Ze but to claim the Scroll of Parting Sorrows. He pretended to be on the Second Hall Master\'s side to delay time.
Turning around, Shen Zong stared deeply at the distant starry sky before leading his people away. Unbeknownst to him, the scroll flashed briefly with a dim light.

Qiu Baiyi chuckled softly and turned around to leave upon seeing that Shen Zong and his group were no longer around.
Qiu Baiyi traversed multiple universe regions in an instant, and he soon arrived in a massive star field. A vast projection of the Time River flowed endlessly throughout the star field, seemingly stretching into infinity.
Bathed in the glow of countless stars, the river shimmered brilliantly.
There was a lady at the bottom of the river; she was wearing a light purple gown, and her hands were crossed over her chest. Her eyes were closed, and there was no aura or energy emanating from her.
There were many elites around the Time River, and they stared at the lady in awe. This specific projection of the Time River was known as the Beauty\'s Time World.
It was unknown when it appeared, and no one had any idea when the lady appeared, either.
There were many people who had tried barging into the river, but only a few of them emerged alive. Despite the danger, however, numerous individuals still sought to enter, hoping to seize an opportunity.
Just like that, more and more elites perished in the Beauty\'s Time River.
Just then, a young man arrived in the starry region. His attire was extravagant, and his expression exuded arrogance.
Two elderly figures were following closely behind him, and they were Path Creation Realm experts.
The elders stood solemnly, and their gazes swept cautiously across the surroundings.
The young man gazed at the distant Time River and remarked, "The Beauty\'s Time World. She truly is a beauty."
One of the elders behind him had a grave expression as he warned, "This place holds many mysteries. Young Master, it\'s better to observe from afar."
The young man stared intently at the lady in the river, smiling. "I believe she must be an exceptional elite. She\'s likely waiting for a prodigy with extraordinary talent... someone like me?"
The two elders exchanged a silent glance, both feeling speechless.
The young man suddenly declared, "I want to try my luck."
Alarmed, one elder quickly cautioned, "Young Master, this place is too dangerous! You mustn\'t do that!"
The other elder also chimed in, "Indeed, Young Master. The Time River is full of strange and deadly forces. Even powerful Path Annihilation Realm cultivators have entered, only to never return. You mustn\'t take such risks."
The young man\'s gaze remained fixed on the Time River. "If I don\'t seize this opportunity, I\'ll never be able to rival that Chen Suiye or Ye Guan."
Ye Guan and Chen Suiye were famous monstrous talents among the younger generation. They were idols that countless youths aspired to surpass.
The elders attempted to dissuade him again, but the young man said, "Elders, our Supreme Clan and the Eternal Time Clan were always equals. However, they\'ve overshadowed us all thanks to a lone Chen Suiye."
"Are you really okay with that?"
Chen Suiye! The two Elders sighed deeply at the mention of that name.
The Supreme Clan and the Eternal Time Clan were once equals, but when Chen Suiye appeared, the equilibrium was shattered.
Under the protection of the Great Dao, no other young talent could compare to Chen Suiye. Even Ye Guan from Guanxuan Universe was likely inferior to him.
However, the two men knew very well that neither Ye Guan nor Chen Suiye was someone their young master could compare to.
They knew exactly what the young man was capable of, so they were about to persuade him again. Before they could speak, however, the young man suddenly vanished.
When he reappeared, he had already entered the distant Time River.
The two elders were utterly terrified, and they chased after him.
As soon as they entered the Time River, however, all three of their figures began to fade. Something had bound them to the Time River, and they could not escape.
The two elders were gripped by despair. Damn it! Are we going to die like this? Shit!
The young man stared at the lady deep within the Time River, and his eyes were filled with hope. He was certain that she\'d save him. However, the lady remained completely still.
Realizing that he was going to die, the young man\'s heart became filled with despair.
Just then, a mysterious force wrapped around the three figures and pulled them out forcefully.
However, the young man had already aged into a frail old man. His hair was white, and his fleshly body had withered. Behind him, the two elders had turned into nothing more than skin and bones.
"Are you from the Supreme Clan?" A voice suddenly reached the old man\'s ears. He turned his head slowly in a daze and saw a middle-aged man standing not far away.
The middle-aged man was none other than Qiu Baiyi, the Second Hall Master.
"She doesn\'t care about you. Even if Chen Suiye came, she wouldn\'t care."
With that, he turned and walked away.
The now elderly \'young man\' stared blankly at the distant Time River...
Qiu Baiyi strolled into the Time River as if nothing could touch him. He casually ignored the flow of time around him and walked straight to the lady.
Opening his palm, a small seal the size of his hand floated up. The seal was as clear as jade, andd the word "Time" was carved at the bottom of it. When the seal appeared, the power of time within the Time River churned.
The lady\'s eyes snapped open.
Boom!
The Time River turned into streaks of light that rushed into the lady\'s eyes.
The cultivators nearby were shocked, and they retreated in a hurry.
The lady floated into the air, silently staring at Qiu Baiyi.
There were two projections of the Time River flowing in her profound eyes.
Qiu Baiyi smiled gently. "Time Lady, long time no see."
The Time Lady was from the distant Time Universe, a universe region that fed on the power of time. The Time Lady strolled across the vast expanse, devouring billions of years in time.
The Time Lady was famous for having the second-greatest physique in the vast expanse—the Immortal Time Body. Her long slumber here was to use the power of time to cultivate her soul into the Immortal Time Soul.
Both her body and soul had to be eternal. Unfortunately, the process was painfully slow.
With the help of the legendary Time Seal, however, her cultivation time could be shortened. She was just one step away from the Immortal Time Soul, but without the Time Seal, it could take millions of years for her to take that final step.
With the Time Seal in hand, the journey could be shortened to just tens of thousands of years.
The Time Lady said nothing and simply extended her hand.
Qiu Baiyi shook his head, and the Time Lady\'s gaze locked onto Qiu Baiyi.
Qiu Baiyi smiled. "You know you can\'t kill me."
The Time Lady stared at him without blinking.
"What do you want me to do?" asked the Time Lady.
"Kill someone."
The Time Lady\'s brow furrowed.
"You\'re right; the target is not an ordinary person. Otherwise, I wouldn\'t have come here with the Time Seal in hand."
Time Lady\'s hand remained extended.
Qiu Baiyi sighed and replied, "You should make a vow. There are many liars in the world today, along with freeloaders. I\'m just a bit worried."
The Time Lady stared at him. "I have never broken my word."
Qiu Baiyi was silent for a moment before nodding. "I believe you."
With that, the Time Seal floated into the Time Lady\'s palm.
Upon holding the Time Seal, a ripple of emotion finally appeared in the Time Lady\'s calm gaze. After a moment, she closed her eyes, and the power of time from the seal rushed into her forehead.
Qiu Baiyi said, "I\'ll let you know when the battle begins."
With that, Qiu Baiyi turned around and left.
Meanwhile, the Time Lady\'s power surged wildly.
***
Qiu Baiyi traveled a myriad of star fields before arriving in a starry sky.
A distinct blue planet came into view in the distance.
Qiu Baiyi was in the Milky Way!
Qiu Baiyi stared deeply at the blue planet before turning to the right, where an orange planet was located.
Qiu Baiyi smiled faintly, "It\'s been a while."
A voice echoed from the orange planet. "What do you need?"
"I need your help."
"I can\'t."
Qiu Baiyi\'s face darkened.
"The future has been determined."
Qiu Baiyi chuckled, and then he stared at the blue planet, asking, "How about I take a stroll there?"
"No," The voice replied firmly.
"Why is Ye Guan allowed to go there but not me? Come on, don\'t play favorites."
"He has a powerful backer. Why would I attract trouble to myself by offending him?"
Qiu Baiyi sternly said, "I have a backer, too."
"Scratch that. He has many powerful backers."
"Where is the justice in that?" Qiu Baiyi was immediately furious. "This is unfair!"
