A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 377

Chapter 377: The Time Bell’s Recognition of Its Master

Wu Yifan recalled that in his past life, to ensure his own safety, he had deliberately observed the future—and what he saw did not show any world upgrade occurring in the Xuanyuan Realm.

“However, the future is ever-changing; unexpected events might still happen. As long as it doesn’t affect my True Self, it’s fine.”

Wu Yifan shook his head and then took a step, entering the Ancient Star Road.

As the Ancient Desolation God Emperor, Wu Yifan naturally knew that the Ancient Star Road was filled with countless Star Beasts. In the Divine Realm, there was even a Star Beast at the peak of God Venerable level, so powerful that no one dared to provoke it below the God Emperor rank.

So before entering the Ancient Star Road, Wu Yifan had made thorough preparations—but he hadn’t expected that once inside, there would be no Star Beasts at all.

“That is strange. Although, I do recall Yi Dao mentioning some time ago that he planned to leave the Xuanyuan Realm. This is probably his doing.”

Wu Yifan remembered that back when he was on Penglai Immortal Island, his grandfather and father had told him that Wu Yidao also intended to leave the Xuanyuan Realm. It was likely Wu Yidao who had killed all the Star Beasts inside the Ancient Star Road.

Having learned this, Wu Yifan saved himself some effort. It wasn’t long before he reached the end of the Ancient Star Road. Stepping through its exit, he was immediately teleported outside the Xuanyuan Realm.

“Until next time.”

Wu Yifan’s expression was complicated. After saying that, he turned and left. Unless one cultivates to the rank of God King, it is impossible to enter the Xuanyuan Realm again. This also meant that even Wu Yifan didn’t know when the next time he would see Lin Zixin and Wu Dong would be.

…

At the same time, inside the Time and Space Holy Land.

After returning to the Time and Space Holy Land and spending a long period in cultivation, Lu Ren finally stabilized his realm thoroughly at the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle.

“Huff, next I should focus on preparing to break through into the Divine Rank.”

Lu Ren opened his eyes, his gaze heavy with solemnity.

Although Wu Hao had told them he would handle the matter with the Blood Soul Sect, Lu Ren disliked the feeling of having his destiny controlled by others. Hence, he wanted to grow stronger to take control of his own fate.

Just as Lu Ren was planning to seize the momentum and see if he could break through into the Divine Rank, a sudden disturbance came from within the Time and Space Holy Land, causing him to stop immediately. His expression changed, and he headed straight toward the Apprentice Recruitment Plaza.

By the time Lu Ren arrived at the Plaza, all the senior figures of the Time and Space Holy Land had already gathered.They all looked solemnly toward the Time Bell at the Apprentice Recruitment Plaza. Standing beside the Time Bell was a young man slowly reaching out his hand—it was Wu Li.

Beside him, Qin Wan watched the scene with a worried expression but stayed back, too afraid to disturb Wu Li.

At that moment, Lu Ren arrived in front of Qin Wan.

“Senior Lu,” Qin Wan quickly greeted him.

Lu Ren nodded upon hearing this. Naturally, he knew who Wu Li and Qin Wan were. The Wu family had come to the Time and Space Holy Land simply because Wu Tiankun had brought his daughter, Lu Mengyuan, back here, and Qin Wan, curious about what the Holy Land looked like, had been brought along by Wu Li.

“Is he trying to become a disciple of our Time and Space Holy Land?”

Lu Ren teased lightly.

Qin Wan couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Lu, are you joking? Is Wu Li alright?””Don’t worry, this isn’t a bad thing. If the Time Bell rings nine times, it means Wu Li is about to challenge the heavens,” Lu Ren said reassuringly.

Seeing Qin Wan getting anxious, Lu Ren finally explained. Indeed, he had sensed the unusual activity around the Time Bell and rushed over, only to discover that it was Wu Li causing the nine chimes.

Rewinding to an earlier time: after arriving at the Time and Space Holy Land, Wu Li and Qin Wan got permission from the Great Elder of the Holy Land and began exploring inside. Eventually, they arrived at the Apprentice Recruitment Plaza, where they saw the Time Bell.

Curious about how many times Wu Li could make the Time Bell ring, Qin Wan looked at him with hopeful eyes. Though unsure if he could do it, Wu Li felt compelled to try and approached the Time Bell.

The Elder responsible for guarding the Time Bell recognized Wu Li’s identity and did not stop him. After stepping aside, the Elder allowed Wu Li to reach out and test it.

No one expected that this test would reveal a Holy Son for their Time and Space Holy Land. The nearby Elder guarding the bell fell silent, clearly shocked by the unexpected turn of events.

Upon hearing that Wu Li was fine, Qin Wan finally exhaled with relief, though her worried gaze lingered on his back.

Wu Tiankun and Lu Mengyuan also arrived nearby. Standing beside them was Wu Daotian, now fully grown into adulthood.

Time was relentless. After enduring the passage of years, Wu Daotian had broken through to the Great Emperor Realm. After all, the Primordial Dao Body’s very name contains the character for Dao (Way), so it was no wonder he had become extraordinary.Looking at the Time Bell before him, which had found its master, Wu Daotian couldn’t help but feel a flicker of envy—but it was only a flicker. After all, he was no ordinary being; as a traveler across worlds and a destined protagonist, a mere Time Bell was insignificant to him. When the time came, he could have as many as he wanted—he simply didn’t care for them.

At the same time, Wu Li’s consciousness was drawn by the Time Bell into a void-like space. Observing everything within—the constantly flashing streams of history—he couldn’t help but sigh.

“I never expected my previous lives before this one to have been so powerful?”

Wu Li’s expression grew complex. He had originally believed he had only one previous life as a Space-Time Immortal Emperor, but he hadn’t realized that before that life, there was yet another incarnation, named the Time-Space God Emperor.

Shaking his head, Wu Li stopped dwelling on it. Since he was already here, he decided to accept it. Besides, it wasn’t a bad thing—he could still gain a powerful Ninth-Grade God Emperor Artifact.

Indeed, like the Ancient Desolation God Emperor, the Time-Space God Emperor had also lived at the God Emperor Peak. Both had reached a dead end in their path forward and planned to use their current life to break through beyond the God Emperor realm.

What surprised him was that the Time-Space God Emperor had lived one more life than the Ancient Desolation God Emperor, and that the previous incarnation had not awakened its memories.

But it was a minor issue—awakening now was better late than never.

When Wu Li regained consciousness, the strange phenomena on the Time Bell gradually faded. Seeing this, Qin Wan immediately rushed over to him, worry etched deeply on her face as she asked.”Husband, are you alright?”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Wu Li forced a smile. Seeing this, Qin Wan didn’t know what had happened, but she still pulled Wu Li into her arms and gently comforted him.

“It’s okay. If you want to talk to me, just do. If you don’t want to say anything, that’s fine too.”

“Mm.”

Wu Li felt a bit touched. He just needed some time to process the news, and after Qin Wan’s consolation, he was already feeling much better.

But at that moment, an untimely voice came from nearby.

“Is now really the right time for you two to be showing off your affection?”
