Guarding the River of Time

Chapter 435 - 425: Finally Waiting for the Right Person, Time Falls Away

He was shocked to discover that the water in this hot spring was the same as the river water outside!

Though there were subtle differences, the essence was the same.

Immediately, he slowly raised his palm, and a few drops of spring water jumped into his hand; the Water Control Divine Technique was still there!

His Cultivation had vanished, but the Water Control Divine Technique was still there, which was very strange.

"Hmm?"

Su Mu toyed with the water droplets on his palm, weighing them.

This heavy?

Even though Su Mu’s Cultivation had disappeared, his physical constitution remained, allowing him to perceive the weight.

The weight of a single drop of water surprisingly reached ten thousand kilograms!

Because Su Mu’s body was so powerful, in his eyes, ten thousand kilograms and one kilogram were no different, so without careful weighing, he wouldn’t even notice.

No wonder he felt a heaviness in his body while soaking in the spring water.

.....

Lying in the spring water, Su Mu felt his eyelids grow heavier and finally couldn’t resist closing his eyes.

He could clearly feel those droplets of spring water transforming into invisible threads, penetrating his skin, blood, and internal organs.

His body was being transformed by these "threads"....

It was as if his current body were a tattered rag doll being stitched and mended.

This feeling was very peculiar; every particle of Vital Blood Force was undergoing metamorphosis, being "stitched" by those "threads."

He had no idea how long he slept, but it was a beautiful sleep.

When he suddenly opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a dried-up hot spring.

He stood up and discovered that the crescent hot spring’s water had disappeared, whether absorbed by him or evaporated, he didn’t know.

...

At this moment, he looked down at his hands and couldn’t help but clench his fists.

Even though his Cultivation was gone, he could distinctly feel that his physical body had undergone a qualitative leap!

.....

The next second, a mysterious woman in white appeared out of thin air before him again.

"Thank you."

Su Mu looked at the woman in white and said slowly.

Because of this hot spring, Su Mu had gained significant improvement, but they didn’t even know each other, so why help him?

"I helped you."

"Because..... I also need something from you."

The woman in white gazed at Su Mu and spoke in a soft tone.

Upon hearing this, Su Mu was stunned and said, "As long as it’s within my ability, I can help."

....

"Please come with me."

When she finished speaking, the woman in white waved her delicate hand, and the surrounding scene began to change.

The two found themselves in the clouds high above.

The woman in white had just directly transferred space, teleporting Su Mu to the heights, which meant.... the woman in white had Cultivation, and possibly very high Cultivation!

In this place, his Cultivation disappeared while hers remained.

That meant that some force capable of suppressing Cultivation existed here.

But.... could an array powerful enough to directly suppress Su Mu to this extent really exist?

No.....

It’s not an array; it should be a kind of Power of Law.

Since absorbing the hot spring water, Su Mu’s physical perception had elevated another level, allowing him to keenly sense the presence of a very high-level Power of Law here.

This Power of Law was something Su Mu encountered for the first time.

He speculated that it was under this Power of Law that his Cultivation was temporarily blocked, yet his "Water Control Divine Technique" wasn’t blocked, which was very curious.

Moreover, this world should be an independent particle world, different from the outside.

.....

Standing atop the clouds, Su Mu noticed the strange shape of these clouds.

Like a..... lake, with the middle sunken.

Looking towards the depression, he could see that a portion of water remained at the bottom, a water aura very familiar to Su Mu, the same as the river water outside.

However, this lake formed by clouds, a hundred meters deep, was already dry, leaving just a few meters of water at the very bottom.

....

"What is this?"

Su Mu pointed to the "cloud lake" and asked.

.....

"This is the source of rainfall."

"It’s the source of existence for this world."

The woman in white slowly explained.

Upon hearing that, Su Mu looked bewildered.

What the heck?

So, the "precipitation" in this world relies entirely on artificial rainfall from this cloud lake?

Why does it feel like playing a digital game world?

This unique little world is indeed fascinating....

....

"I want you to help move all the water on the ground up here."

The woman in white slowly said to Su Mu.

Upon hearing that, Su Mu was stunned. It’s that simple?

He didn’t ask any further questions.

Standing at the cloud’s edge, looking down, standing at this height, one could see most of the lands in this little world at a glance.

This world is a vast forest, where every tree and every blade of grass is many times larger than usual, like a place inhabited by giants.

"Are you sure it’s all of it?"

If Su Mu moved all the water from the ground to the sky.

Then the land in this world would dry up. After all, water is the source of life, and without it, everything on the ground would wither.

The woman in white nodded.

Seeing this, Su Mu said nothing more. Since this little world is hers, she can do as she pleases, and he’ll help accordingly.

As long as he can leave this strange place, everything’s negotiable.

.....

Su Mu performed the Water Control Divine Technique, waving his hand toward the ground.

The streams, lakes, Dark Rivers, pools on the ground.... even the dewdrops on leaves, all visible water, was stripped from the ground and began moving upwards into the sky.

Witnessing this immensely spectacular scene, the woman in white’s beautiful eyes glimmered with Immortal Light, full of delight.

She had mentally prepared herself, but seeing this scene unfold, she couldn’t help but marvel.

She had waited for so many "outsiders," finally finding the right one...

Soon, the "lake" on the clouds was completely filled with water.

But the ground was already dry.

"What’s the purpose of doing this?"

Su Mu asked the woman in white.

Upon hearing this, the woman in white gazed downward and answered softly, "We need time, but time is like rainwater on the ground, unable to be reversed."

"Thank you, I finally waited for you."

Upon hearing these words.

Su Mu looked puzzled and asked, "Have we met before?"

Why did her words imply she knew him...

Upon hearing this, the woman in white shook her head and said, "We haven’t yet, but we will."

"I shall send you out now..."

"I can’t delay you any longer."

With these words, the woman in white waved her delicate hand, and a path appeared in front of them, identical to the water path Su Mu had entered.

Before Su Mu could speak.

He found himself uncontrollably traversing through the water path.

Suddenly, the system’s announcement echoed in his mind.
