Chapter 967 The Chrono Chaos Realm"s Secret (II)

967 The Chrono Chaos Realm"s Secret (II)

The two Ji Wu paused momentarily before the one on the left said: "Our story is a cliche one. It began in ancient times, near the end of the war."

w.a.n.g Wei calmly listened; although he had much information, some knowledge–especially during the Null Era eluded him. These two people"s stories allow him to learn many secrets of Heaven and Earth.

"Have you heard the saying that the Human Emperor invented the first fortune dynasty?"

asked Ji Wu on the right, and w.a.n.g Wei nodded.

"This fact is partially true. Our human race had long discovered the power of luck and destiny.

However, the history of the human race has made it increasingly difficult to unite as one dynasty."

The white room changed, and w.a.n.g Wei soon found himself sitting in the air with the others next to him. Below him was a group of humans dressed in animal hides. Everyone looked primitive, but w.a.n.g Wei did not think so.

These hides mostly belonged to powerful

creatures that existed in ancient times, so the fas.h.i.+on was different compared to the modern era.

"The concept of a sect was extremely weak in that era as most people lived in tribes," continued Ji Wu on the right. "Humans were scattered worldwide, and living in tribes was a way to survive. After your ancestor invented the Primordial G.o.d System, he secretly spread it to different tribes.

"If there was someone who had a high chance of uniting the human tribes and becoming the first ruler of a fortunate dynasty, it was your ancestor.

However, the human race was too weak and needed a low-key development."

w.a.n.g Wei nodded. If the Innate Demon G.o.ds knew the human race banded together while also having a potent cultivation system, they would have noticed them earlier and done whatever was needed to eradicate the human race.

So, he agreed with his ancestor"s approach.

Simultaneously, he knew the downside of such a development process.

"After the Heaven Opening Emperor proved the Dao, he had the strength to gather many human tribes together. However, he was under the eye of countless 6-Star Primarchs, so he could not gather everyone in one group.

"Additionally, he felt it was too dangerous for all humans to be in place in case something happened."

"This was a wise move," added the Leftside Ji Wu.

"The human race"s Ancestral Hall was attacked many times, almost becoming extinct on a few occasions. If the elders did not leave outside tribes to use as backup, we would have lost the war long ago."

The two sighed in tandem; it was odd how perfectly in sync they were.

"The tribal system was necessary for the human race"s survival. However, it soon showed its downside. By the time our race could stand toe-to-toe with the Innate Demon G.o.ds, creating a central power system, the different tribal leaders were too powerful and could not easily give up their power.

"The Heaven Opening Emperor had the strength and prestige to become the new ruler. However, some people still opposed him. Ultimately, he decided that such contradictions could lead to civil war among the human race, so he adopted a council system with different tribal leaders."

w.a.n.g Wei did not know much about the Heaven Opening Emperor"s decision, but he was aware of the human race"s council.

"This is where we come into the story," continued Ji Wu on the right. "Our Ji tribe was one of the most powerful in that area. After I proved the Dao using a mighty Dao like Time, our power reached a new height."

The two sighed, "Sadly, this is where our misfortune began."

The two did not say anything for a few seconds, so w.a.n.g Wei remained quiet.

"Time Monarch," uttered the left Ji Wu. "The name implied the dominance of Time Dao, but there is a hidden meaning. Can you guess?"

"The Monarch part is an indication of your ambitions," replied w.a.n.g Wei calmly.

"Exactly. We wanted to unite the human race into the first unified dynasty–the Great Ji Dynasty."

A terrifying aura emanated from Leftside Ji Wu"s body, making the picture of ancient times tremble and crack. Luckily, the other one touched Ji Wu"s shoulder, calming him down.

"We acted on our ambitions; we wooed countless tribes and spread our ideologies."

Right Ji Wu sighed. "Honestly, our chances of succeeding were miniscule. However, we were lucky to meet a woman with unparalleled talent–my wife, Ji Suyin."

As he said these words, the vision changed, and w.a.n.g Wei saw a scene of Ji Wu talking to a beautiful woman with a black dress, a white fox fur coat around her shoulder, and a red cinnamon bar on her forehead. She was advising Ji Wu on managerial affairs.

"She was undoubtedly the best tactical mind of that era," continued Ji Wu. "Under her guidance, my empty and unrealizable dream slowly materialized."

Both Ji Wu looked at her with love, doting, and regret.

"Everything proceeded smoothly until that day.

Your majesty, can you guess what happened?"

"Your actions were exactly what my ancestors feared. So, the human council attacked and slaughtered you and your tribe," replied w.a.n.g Wei calmly.

The two quieted down before Ji Wu on the left said: "15.3 billion tribe members, and not a single one survived–including her."

"Everything we dreamed and hoped for, gone in a single moment," continued the other one.

"So, what happened next? And why do I not feel any resentments from you toward the council or the human race?" asked w.a.n.g Wei.

"After so many years, we"ve realized this was the best option. Otherwise, the human race would have destroyed itself in a civil war. Even if there were a final winner, we would not have survived the attack from the Innate Demon G.o.ds,"

explained Ji Wu on the right.

w.a.n.g Wei nodded; he felt that Ji Wu was telling the truth, but the other one still had some hidden or residual bitterness/resentment.

"I survived the war," said Rightside Ji Wu. "With her sacrifice, I survived, but I wished I did not."

Leaving without her was the greatest karmic suffering–especially since he had to live with the fact he caused her death.

"After I survived, I lived for only one purpose–to make up for what happened that day."

w.a.n.g Wei secretly sighed as he knew the impossible tasks Ji Wu faced. As an Eternal Emperor who controls Time Dao, it should be easy to revive these dead people. But that was far from the truth. The people who attacked that day were all Great Emperors and Eternals, meaning the [Existence] of all the people in the Ji tribe was erased.

"After years of research, trials, and errors, and luck, I finally succeeded. Can you guess how?" asked Rightside Ji Wu.

"You isolated a moment in time from the River of Time–a moment where all your tribe members and her were still alive," explained w.a.n.g Wei. "The other version of you is the one from that moment, while you"re real Ji Wu."

"That"s correct," nodded Rightside Ji Wu, and w.a.n.g Wei took out the Heaven Record Book.

"You created this book not to record historical events but to use the concept of history to gather time energy."

"Yes," acknowledged both Ji Wu.

"How exactly did you succeed in separating that moment in time?" asked w.a.n.g Wei, not hiding his doubt. Logically speaking, these people could not be revived even through Time Dao since Great Emperors transcend time, so it should be

impossible–unless Ji Wu becomes an Empyrean or Paragon. w.a.n.g Wei had a similar experience when he tried to revive the dead people from his Science and Technology World after the hooded figure from the Deception Trial attacked him with numerous Great Emperors.

"Near the end of the war, the River of Time was chaotic and more malleable. So, I took this opportunity to succeed."

w.a.n.g Wei had a pondering look. Usually, every major event in the lower dimension is connected one way or the other with something happening in the upper dimension, so it should be the same for the Acquire-Innate War.

"So, the chaos of the River of Time was probably because something was happening."

Unfortunately, he did not know what it was.

"Your plan is crazy enough," continued w.a.n.g Wei, who figured out what Ji Wu wanted to do.

Separating the moment in time was only the first step. This Time Monarch wanted to change the past and save these dead people; otherwise, they would be stuck in that moment and could not even leave the Chrono Chaos Realm.

"The gathering of chaotic time energy is probably to cause a second chaos in the River of Time, thus giving them an opportunity to fundamentally alter the past and history of the Myriad Emperor World and save the Ji Tribe."

"Your majesty, what do you think? Can our plan succeed?"

"You obviously already know the answer," replied w.a.n.g Wei. Great Emperors–especially those who controlled Time Dao–should be able to alter the past, present, and future. Unfortunately, this world is high-dimensional with strict rules, regulations, and restrictions.

Sadly, the rules indicate that only Paragons can barely alter the past, but they must also be limited to small events.

"We are aware of our lack of ability," said Leftside Ji Wu. "We were hoping Your Majesty could have another way."

"Hmm, I may have an idea," uttered w.a.n.g Wei.

"But why should I help? What can I get out of this situation?"
