Yi Tianxing was powerless to resist.That overwhelming force—unless he activated the Hongmeng Heavenly Emperor Tower, he could do nothing to counter it.
But there was no need.
Even a brief encounter had made it clear—The battles within the River of Time were far beyond his current realm.
To forcefully intervene would only lead to annihilation, with no gain in return.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Yi Tianxing was expelled from the River of Time, reappearing at the same spot where the Savage Demon Kingdom had once been—The exact place where he had originally entered.
"Power. It's all about power. Without strength, I'm not even qualified to stand beside them on the battlefield. It's pathetic."
Yi Tianxing's face showed a bitter smile.
There was no other reason—just strength.
Without power, nothing else matters.
"The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Monsters, the Lingxiao (Celestial) Demon Court, the Myriad Demon City…That must have been the peerless founder of the demon race—the supreme ancestor, a being even East Emperor Taiyi and Dijun couldn't rival."
And the one who appeared after—That had to be a human expert. The Martial Ancestor, Wu Zu.
Their battle clearly wasn't over—A confrontation that had likely continued from the previous epoch until now.
"And their enemies… just what kind of beings are they facing?"
Yi Tianxing pondered quietly.
This journey had been a true eye-opener.
He recognized the Martial Ancestor at a glance—he'd seen those Martial Tomb Heavenly Steles (武墓天碑) before.But to witness them descend firsthand, the shock was overwhelming.
Each stele carried the weight to suppress even immortal overlords.
And within those steles… there was something more. Some deeper mystery. He couldn't yet comprehend it.
But judging from the sheer fear and respect shown by the Eternal Night experts,There was no doubt—these steles were unimaginably powerful.
Even the weakest Eternal Night being in the River had already reached the Path-Proving Realm (证道境).The stronger ones were half a step from the Primordial Realm (混元境). And yet—they were crushed with ease.
"They've surpassed the Primordial Realm…Stronger than Saints."
That was the only thing Yi Tianxing could confirm.
As for what level they had truly reached—He couldn't begin to guess. It was another realm altogether.
For someone at the Dao Platform Realm (道台境) like himself, it was like trying to peer through fog at distant mountains—Hopeless.
But one thing was certain:
"Even figures like Nine Heavens Dao Sovereign (九天道尊) would likely be crushed by the Martial Ancestor or the Demon Ancestor."
"They could probably flick him to death with a finger."
"What happened? You actually entered the River of Time?What was it like? Did you see the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Monsters?!"
As soon as Yi Tianxing returned, the monkey charged over, eyes wide with curiosity.
After the Demon Kingdom's ascension, no one could see inside the River anymore—Only those at profound realms could sense what lay within.
As a member of the demon race himself, even the monkey had never heard of this Demon Ancestor.
This was a true ancestral pillar of the demon race.From now on, no demon would be able to ignore that name.
A being above demon emperors and demon sovereigns—the origin of the race.
"The River of Time is filled with unfathomable danger.Anyone below the Path-Proving Realm must never step into it—Let alone reverse-walk it.Even Saints could perish inside."
Yi Tianxing took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.
He deliberately chose not to mention the details of what he had witnessed—
Some truths were too heavy for widespread knowledge.For those who had not reached the necessary realm, learning these things would only lead to the rise of heart demons and internal ruin.
So he said nothing of the Martial Ancestor,Nor of what he'd truly seen.
Elsewhere—
The Queen of the Nation of Women wore a complicated expression—both bitter and angry.
"That Chaotic Demon King just left, but before going, he tossed me one massive problem…Just what sort of hidden danger lies within this Zimu River (子母河)?"
She couldn't get his final words out of her mind.
"Yin cannot grow alone."That line was a true hazard.
Of course, she knew this.But the problem was that the Zimu River's influence had long taken root.
The entire Nation of Women was comprised solely of females.Even if men occasionally remained, any offspring born would still be female.
Staying in the Nation changed nothing.
They were trapped in an extreme polarity.
"The Zimu River likely contains a Primordial Spring—the Zimu Spiritual Spring (子母灵泉).It holds overwhelming Yin-based creation power."
"Any child born from its influence is causally bound to it—As if the Zimu Spring is the true mother of the entire nation.That kind of **karmic debt… must be paid in blood."
Yi Tianxing spoke slowly.
The bond was too great.
The Nation of Women owed its entire existence to the Zimu River.
"If something happens to the Zimu River…My country will perish."
The queen's voice was laced with bitterness.
This danger could no longer be ignored.
The Savage Demon Kingdom had ascended not merely to transcend,But to escape this bond entirely.
A total severance from the Zimu River's chains.
But the Demon Kingdom could ascend.
What about the Nation of Women?
In truth, they had already started preparing—
Through traveling merchants, they had begun sending young women out of the country,hoping they could pursue new lives elsewhere.
But only a fraction could be sent.
Most were not suited to leave.
Outside the nation, women—especially beautiful ones—did not encounter fortune, but disaster.Without power, skill, or courage, they were lambs to the slaughter.
Among those who left, less than 40% survived.
Let alone a mass migration—The world outside was full of demons, monsters, and desolation.
And the crucial issue remained—
Where would they find young men?
Without them, leaving the Zimu River was suicidal.
It would only hasten their extinction.
She… had no escape route.
Yi Tianxing's eyes flashed.
"If Your Majesty is interested…I may have a suggestion."
"An opportunity… has presented itself."
"Oh? Please speak."
The queen brightened, hope stirring in her gaze.
Yi Tianxing smiled faintly, then waved a hand—A barrier rose to surround them, cutting off all sound and external surveillance.
"I wonder, Your Majesty… have you heard of Great Yi?"
"Great Yi?You mean the Great Yi Holy Court…?The legendary First Human Fate Dynasty?The true Holy Land of the human race?"
The queen's heart was shaken.
Her face filled with astonishment.
Great Yi—no one in the fate dynasty world hadn't heard of it.Especially now that it had risen once again, officially ascending to Holy Court status.
It was the most respected, most feared existence in the world.
But no one knew where it was located.
Now, Yi Tianxing mentioned it openly?
The queen was full of turbulent thoughts.
"That's right. I speak of Great Yi."
Yi Tianxing nodded.
"To be frank—I am of the imperial bloodline of the Great Yi Holy Court.I travel to forge alliances and find those worthy of cooperation."
"If Your Majesty is willing…I can open a stable domain portal between your Nation and Great Yi."
"You may lead your people to migrate into Great Yi territory.Join the Holy Court."
"On behalf of His Majesty, the Holy King,I can grant you nobility, and offer you a place of honor and security."
"Your people would be free to build a new life,and have a chance to change their fate."
His tone was genuine and sincere.
If the Nation of Women joined Great Yi, it would be a monumental gain.
After all—women are the foundation of life and future generations.
"What?!"
Even with her experience, the queen was stunned.
She'd never expected Yi Tianxing's identity.
And even more—his offer…
For the Nation of Women, this might be the best opportunity they would ever get to rewrite their destiny.
But even so—There were still many concerns in her heart.
After all, this was no small matter.
