Chapter 1087: The Origin of Time

In the divine hall, golden lights filled the air like a golden wheat ray shining under the summer sun.

The Bone Dragon’s body emitted a majestic aura, which could change the weather and turn the wind and clouds upside down.

A few bones on its face were gathered, giving people a solemn feeling. It said in a deep voice, “Lil’ friend, just treat me as an old man. I have a presumptuous request.”

“Please go ahead, senior.” Ou Yangming’s expression was serious.

“I hope that you can resolve the grudge between the Dragons and the Phoenixes and let the Great Wide World return to peace.” The Bone Dragon’s voice was deep. After it finished, it bowed.

Ou Yangming hurriedly jumped away. He could not take the bow. The Bone Dragon, which disregarded self-sacrifice for the sake of righteousness, was someone he respected from the bottom of his heart.

Even so, he immediately promised, “I dare not promise you that as it means that I’ll be going against the world on my own. I can only say that I’ll do my best.”

The Bone Dragon nodded. It would have looked down on Ou Yangming if he made a promise right away. After all, this kind of promise would be the same as becoming enemies with the Dragons and the Phoenixes. In this aspect, Ou Yangming and He Jian’s personalities were very similar. If they were not confident about something, they would leave some leeway for themselves. Making a promise but not fulfilling it was the same as being irresponsible to others and themselves.

“Senior, given your strength, as long as you leave the Long River of Time, you’ll surely be able to integrate the Dragons’ forces. When that happens, the fight between the Dragons and the Phoenixes will be resolved,” Lil’ Red said with confusion.

Only then did the Bone Dragon seriously size up Lil’ Red. At this time, the little red bird felt a piercing cold light on his back. Every bone and cell in his body seemed to have been seen through where no secrets could be hidden.

He was seen through at a glance as if he was a transparent piece of paper or a clear lake that could be seen to the bottom.

Fortunately, the Bone Dragon quickly shifted its gaze.

It closed its mouth before it said in a deep voice, “I actually died hundreds of thousands of years ago but due to the reversal of the law of time, I became neither dead nor alive. If I leave the divine hall, I’ll suffer a backlash from the law. I can only hold on for 10 breaths at most before I collapse. I’m not afraid of death, but I can’t die. I still have to keep an eye on the Ancient Shamans. If I leave again, they’ll comprehend the law of time, reverse time, and revive the dead Ancient Shamans. If that happens, the Great Wide World will once again descend into chaos.”

When this voice reverberated in Ou Yangming’s ears, the look of respect in his eyes had reached its peak.

“Senior, you’ve worked hard.” The young fellow and the 2 beasts exchanged glances and expressed at the same time.

“For the peace of the Great Wide World, I’m willing to die.” The Bone Dragon’s voice was calm but also as heavy as a mountain and determined. It seemed to be willing to give everything including its life and soul for the pursuit in his heart.

“Reversing time?” Ou Yangming immediately grasped the key in the dragon’s words.

“Yes.” The Bone Dragon nodded. After pausing for a moment, it continued, “This is only a branch of the Long River of Time, but it also has the origin of time. It’s under the protection of the Ancient Shamans.”

“The Ancient Shamans that I met before… Why do they seem to have no thoughts?” Ou Yangming was puzzled.

“They’re Ancient Shamans below 2 marks. Those above 3 marks have independent thoughts.” The Bone Dragon was slightly worried.

Ou Yangming nodded, and his throat moved slightly. He bit his teeth and asked softly, “Senior, to tell you the truth, I entered the Long River of Time to look for the origin power. I wonder if you can give me some pointers?”

The Bone Dragon looked at him seriously and asked, “Are you really going?”

“Yes,” Ou Yangming answered. His voice was not loud, but it was clear.

“It’s extremely dangerous there. Given your strength, it’ll be very difficult for you to deal with the Great Shamans with 3 marks.”

“I still have to go. If I can’t comprehend it, I’ll destroy the origin of time and let the Ancient Shamans disappear in the passage of time forever.” Blood flashed in Ou Yangming’s eyes, and a hint of doubt also appeared in his heart. ‘If what the Bone Dragon said was true, what about the Ancient Shamans that we encountered outside the Long River of Time? Could it be that this group of Ancient Shamans has begun to understand…’ When he thought of this, he became even more anxious.

“What a broad-minded young man. I’ll lend you a helping hand.” As the Bone Dragon said this, a brilliant white light flashed in its claws.

Without any movement, the light turned into a white jade the size of a finger and zoomed toward Ou Yangming’s palm.

The Bone Dragon uttered, “By chanting with your heart, illusions can be broken into reality.” After saying that, it closed its eyes and did not say a word.

Ou Yangming was familiar with the ways of the world. He quickly cupped his hands and said, “Senior… Till we’re fated to meet again.”

After saying that, without waiting for the Bone Dragon to answer, he walked out of the hall.

It was then when a voice echoed around Ou Yangming
