Godslayer: After the Seraph rejected me, I ascended directly to the highest godhood.

The coastline at sunset, the sea reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun.

The shimmering seawater made a 'whooshing' sound of the waves.

On a small black boat, a young man stood quietly, dressed in a gray robe, holding a withered bamboo pole in his hand.

At that moment, his eyes widened, revealing an expression of utter astonishment as he looked at the boy on the shore.

To witness firsthand how one can transform from a frail old man into a youthful figure in just a short time.

Even the elderly King found it hard to believe such amazing divine power.

After gazing at Jiang Ye for a brief moment, he sighed slowly, leaned on the bamboo pole in his hand, and prepared to leave.

He knew that even if he used all his strength, he couldn't stop Jiang Ye.

However, he also gained something; if the plan fails, he will just have to spend more time.

"and many more."

Seeing that the old man was about to leave, Jiang Ye suddenly called out to him.

The elderly king turned his head slightly. "Is there anything else?"

Where are Nightfall and the others?

Upon hearing this, the elderly King hesitated for a moment, then gently waved his hand at the small black boat, and the seven members of the [Nightfall] team lay down inside.

Jiang Ye glanced around and saw that Lin Qiye and the others had all fallen into a coma.

His gaze lingered on Lin Qiye's face for a moment before he slowly said, "I have a request."

"You want me to send them back to Great Xia?"

Jiang Ye nodded.

The old man thought for a moment, then said, "Alright, but you must save them."

He looked at the small fishing village not far away, his eyes filled with endless self-reproach.

Jiang Ye knew that the old man had traveled back in time more than once, which meant that he had witnessed the deaths of his team members more than once.

That kind of grief must be tormenting him repeatedly.

Jiang Ye also looked at the beautiful fishing village bathed in the afterglow, "Okay!"

"Thank you!" The old man bowed slightly to him.

Jiang Ye nodded, looking at Lin Qiye on the small black boat, "Take good care of him...and them."

The elderly King glanced back at the unconscious Lin Qiye and gave a soft "hmm".

Then, using a bamboo pole, they slowly headed towards the distant sea.

Jiang Ye only looked away when the small black boat disappeared from sight.

With the elderly King escorting them back to Great Xia, Lin Qiye should be able to witness the resurrected Cangnan firsthand.

After I finish my own business, I'll go back and spend some quality time with my parents.

Thinking about it, Jiang Ye slowly smiled and walked towards the small fishing village not far away.

……

Inside the fishing village.

Unlike the outside world, the fishing village is now shrouded in the dead of night, enveloped in a scarlet glow.

The crimson light emanated from the incredibly crimson full moon in the night sky.

Under the crimson moonlight, the villagers seemed to lose their minds and began to kill each other, leaving the fishing village stained with blood, like a living hell.

Occasionally, one could hear the terrified cries of infants and the shrill screams of women...

The seven people standing at the mouth of the fishing village witnessed everything in the village with extremely solemn expressions.

"Captain, these villagers have all been influenced by the Red Moon and have started killing each other," Tianping said calmly.

In fact, they were also suppressing their emotions, trying to prevent themselves from losing control of their emotions and engaging in self-destructive behavior under the influence of the red moon.

Standing in front, the king frowned, glanced up at the red moon, and then quickly lowered his head.

They stormed in and, with their own Time Thugs, quickly discovered that this place was a closed time loop.

The cycle repeats every three days, and there is less than half an hour until the start of the next cycle.

The start of a new cycle means that time will erase all traces of the previous cycle and protect them.

In the past two days, they have tried many methods in the fishing village, but they still cannot find an exit to escape the time loop.

just now……

The king looked up at the red moon and the crimson sea, gazing into the distance.

"We've searched all the fishing villages, but we haven't tried the sea route yet."

Upon hearing this, Whirlpool patted his chest, trying his best to control his emotions.

"Captain, you mean we're going out to sea now?"

"This is the only way." Wang Mian placed his hand on [Ge Yuan], his eyes turning slightly red.

A few minutes later, Whirlpool, Libra, and King Face, along with the other four who were in a state of emotional turmoil, boarded a fishing boat.

Driven by spiritual power, the fishing boat moved forward at ten times the normal speed, with Wang Mian standing at the bow.

Looking at the four members of the Rose Clan who were tied up, he sighed deeply.

"Captain, there's something ahead!" Suddenly, Whirlpool pointed to the sea not far away.

Wang Mian and Tian Ping immediately looked over and saw a whale carcass floating on the sea under the red moon. It was many times larger than the fishing boat and looked like a huge mountain to them.

The three were slightly taken aback, but due to the urgency of the situation, they did not hesitate and jumped off the boat to the side of the whale carcass.

Goooo!

While the three were observing, Whirlpool heard a sound coming from the whale's belly, somewhat like the sound of breathing underwater.

"Captain, there's a sound here." He quickly called Wang Mian and Tianping over.

After Wang Mian came over, he put his ear close to the whale's belly and listened. There was indeed a sound, somewhat like human breathing.

He hesitated for a moment, then drew the [Geyuan] from his waist and made a cut on the whale's belly.

Immediately, the whale's blood flowed out, but fortunately, it was under the red moonlight and not very noticeable.

Then, the three men pried open the whale's belly, and a pungent smell assaulted their nostrils.

"It's a person!" Whirlpool said, forcing back his nausea, pointing inside.

Wang Mian and Tian Ping also saw it, and they stepped forward to move the disgusting intestines away.

It was an old man whose lower body was covered in flesh and blood, while his upper body was completely naked.

Moreover, a very familiar long knife was stuck in the old man's chest.

A shimmering ring floated at the end of the long sword, slowly rotating, captivating the eye.

The king's gaze was easily drawn to the ring. Inside the ring, time seemed to stand still, with the past and future intertwined, creating an incredibly mysterious scene.

But for Wang Mian, it felt incredibly familiar and dear.

This is his sword, [Ge Yuan].

"Captain... Captain, isn't that your knife?" Tenping asked in utter astonishment, looking at the long knife stuck in the old man's chest.

The vortex next to them was also somewhat surprised.

Wang Mian remained calm and moved slightly closer to the old man.

Just then, the old man seemed to sense something and slowly opened his eyes.

His pale hair swayed in the crimson seawater as he slowly raised his head, his deep, reddish eyes sweeping over the three of them.

"Seven rats have infiltrated?" The old man's lips twitched slightly as he uttered a weak voice.

The three were shocked. They hadn't expected the old man to still be alive. He had been stabbed through the chest with a long knife and was still alive. This man must be extraordinary.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Wang asked.

The old man moved his lips and said calmly, "My name is Chen Yangrong, just an ordinary fisherman."

"I don't believe you! You old geezer, you're a wicked man. Speak properly!" Whirlpool retorted.

You survived a long knife piercing your heart and you're telling me you're an ordinary person?

Chen Yangrong: "..."

He stared at the three of them for a moment, then shook his head. "You are nothing but pitiful creatures who have stumbled into this time loop."

"Want to live? Just pull out this knife from my chest and you can come out of this time loop with me."

"You don't have much time."

Upon hearing this, the three of them noticed the time loop and their expressions changed slightly.

"Captain, is what he said true?" Whirlpool looked at King Face.

The latter shook his head, staring at the ring at the end of the long path, and sneered: "If you pull out this sword, this behemoth will come back to life, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yangrong's expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure.

"It's actually you from the past. You can see what happened in the closed time loop. Heh, interesting."

"However, you have no choice but to either draw this sword and end this damned time loop, or wait for the moment the loop ends and be obliterated by the laws of time."

"Here, if you want to survive, drawing your sword is the only way out."

Wang Mian sneered. If this divine beast were to be resurrected, it would be a devastating blow to the Great Xia Dynasty.

Moreover, in the timeline recorded in that ring, the time of this fishing village is not just a closed loop of time; it is also a cage, a cage used to imprison this divine beast.

"You old geezer, you're really wicked." Whirlpool cursed at the old man, then turned to King Face and asked, "Captain, what should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Mian's gaze fell upon the ring at the end of the long sword.

“You all need to control your emotions and not let the red moon affect you. I’ll try to go back in time and see if I can return to before we entered the fishing village and stop all of this.”

The vortex and the scales nodded.

Wang Mian reached out and grasped the [Geyuan] at his waist. Klein, at the peak of his spiritual power, activated it to the extreme, and the [Time-Traveling Thug] in the Divine Ruins slowly rotated.

The flow of time began to slow down dramatically, the dust floating in the air also stopped, and Wang Mian's breathing became long and deep.

He slowly opened his eyes, and before him, silver discs intersected and crisscrossed, like a finely tuned clock, dazzling his eyes.

Wang Mian dared not hesitate for a moment, took a step forward, and ran forward against the river of time.

He transformed into a streak of white light, rising headlong into the reverse flow of time.

Time passed second by second, and the white light continued to flicker in the river of time.

But it became slower and slower, and the bangs on Wang's forehead turned from black to white, indicating a rapid decline in his physical activity.

He removed the 'King' mask from his face, panting heavily, but he couldn't stop.

He continued running, searching for a glimmer of hope for the entire Masked Squad in this reverse flow of time.

However, Wang Mian gradually discovered that he could not keep up with the flow of time, no matter how hard he tried to run.

You can never outrun time.

No, how could this be?

At this moment, the king's hair was completely white, and his appearance showed signs of aging.

He stands in the long river of time, unable to resist being swept along by the current.

"Heh, it's no use. You can't escape this time loop."

At that moment, Wang Mian suddenly heard Chen Yangrong's voice.

His brows furrowed, and his expression grew increasingly grave.

Within this closed loop formed by the laws of time, a simple divine ruin simply cannot outrun the speed of the cycle.

What should I do? What should I do?

Wang Mian knelt helplessly in the river of time, feeling the unchangeable laws of time, and fell into deep self-reproach.

Images of vortexes, scales, roses, moon demons... his teammates kept flashing through his mind, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

"I'm sorry, I... I can't outrun time, I can't save you."

Wang Mian lowered his head listlessly.

Just then, a voice echoed through the river of time.

"Young man, do you need any help?"

Ok?

Upon hearing the voice, Wang was startled, realizing that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

His eyes were filled with tears as he looked up and saw a man standing on the river of time, seemingly oblivious to the reverse flow of time, standing there motionless.

Wang Mian narrowed his eyes slightly, and the man's face gradually became clearer.

he is……

Jiangye!

Wang Mian's eyes narrowed.
