Godslayer: Aizen Template, I will stand in the heavens!

Having just entered the Kunlun Mountains and regained his strength, Li Lian began to let loose.

The spiritual pressure, like a vast net, instantly covered the entire Kunlun Mountains.

Instantly, they could ascertain the current situation within the Kunlun Mountains.

Some came to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, while others searched for jade in the river at the foot of the mountain.

There were caravans making their way along the mountain paths, and archaeological teams carrying pickaxes and compasses...

Ok?

An archaeological team?!

Isn't this guy here to rob a tomb?!

Who should we target? The Queen of Jingjue?

After much hesitation, Li Lian still decided not to go after this tomb raiding team.

Although he was genuinely curious about the tomb raiders' methods, like the pangolin claws and such,

Even if he were now a supreme god, if he wanted to be a tomb raider,

The only way is to dig up the graves of the three Cthulhu gods, unless all three gods simultaneously rise from the dead.

Otherwise, Li Lian's success rate in tomb raiding would be close to 100%!

Besides the living people, Li Lian also sensed a familiar aura inside a dilapidated temple.

Without uttering a word, Li Lian appeared directly in front of the dilapidated temple with a whoosh.

The temple's outer walls have almost completely collapsed; judging from the marks around the perimeter,

No one has come here for at least a thousand years; over time, only half of the gate remains.

It swayed slightly in the wind, making a creaking sound.

Carefully skirting the half-open, flimsy door, Li Lian stepped into the only main hall.

The roof had mostly collapsed, but the entire hall was well-lit.

The main feature is an open-air, pollution-free decoration style, so you don't have to worry about formaldehyde poisoning when living in this kind of house.

The only intact item in this main hall is the clay Buddha statue placed in the very center.

The familiar aura that Li Lian had sensed earlier originated from this clay sculpture.

After carefully examining the Buddha statue with his own eyes, Li Lian said, "..."

"Lin Qiye? Why are you here? Have you also been exiled?"

The clay Buddha statue showed no reaction; Li Lian acted as if he were a mental patient.

At this point, he started talking to himself while looking at a clay statue, recounting many of Lin Qiye's dark past events.

Towards the end, Li Lian got tired of talking and became too annoyed to continue.

He drew the straight knife from his hand and pointed the tip at the unresponsive clay Buddha statue.

"Lin Qiye, I don't care what you did, give me a response within three seconds."

Otherwise, I'll dismantle this clay sculpture and see what's inside!

The clay figure remained silent, simply looking down at Li Lian.

"Three! Two! One!"

Li Lian didn't even bother to think about it anymore; he gripped his straight sword tightly and slashed at the Buddha statue.

Even without using their full strength, this strike was definitely not something a clay figure could withstand!

when--!

A fair hand appeared and gripped the blade of the straight sword tightly.

The sound of metal clashing against metal was heard, which shook the already shaky door so much that it flew off!

"You think I can't handle you?! You've really managed to pull this off perfectly."

To withstand a top-tier supreme god's attack barehanded without sustaining any damage—in some ways, you're stronger than the Black Goat!

Li Lian patted Lin Qiye, who was wearing a black cloak, on the shoulder, then sheathed his straight sword.

He retrieved a bunch of camping gear from Soul Society that didn't belong to this era, and sat comfortably on a folding chair.

Then he handed Lin Qiye a bottle of cola, took out a small kettle, lit a gas stove, and started boiling water.

He knew nothing at first, but ever since he saw Lin Qiye...

Instantly, I understood what had happened; these eyes couldn't see the river of time.

However, it's still possible to peek into Lin Qiye's past, even if we can't see exactly what happened.

However, the fact that we know where Lin Qiye's past began—more than a thousand years ago—is crucial.

Moreover, he already knew that Lin Qiye would travel back to the Han Dynasty and meet the Champion Marquis, but he didn't know how Lin Qiye returned to his original point in time.

But now it seems that Lin Qiye is following Yi Xiaochuan's methods.

Unable to find a way back, they relied on the unique immortality and longevity of the Primordial Spirit Embryo.

He actually lived from the Han Dynasty back to the original point in time!

What Li Lian found most difficult to understand about Lin Qiye was that the forbidden realm he had awakened was also one that he couldn't comprehend at all.

However, Li Lian recognized this strange aura; it was from the little boy who single-handedly suppressed the Chaos that day.

The aura emanating from him was exactly the same as the forbidden aura currently emanating from Lin Qiye. It wasn't that they were very similar, but rather identical.

Moreover, it seems to have been split into two halves, one half on Lin Qiye's body and the other half in that clay Buddha statue.

He needed an explanation, and he also wanted to know what happened after Lin Qiye met the Champion Marquis.

Lin Qiye shook his head helplessly and plopped down on the camping chair next to Li Lian.

I twisted open the can of Coke and took a sip. It's been over a thousand years since I've had this stuff, and I kind of miss it!

"Li Lian, why don't you tell us how you got here?"

My story is too long; I need to hear yours first so I know where to begin.

Lin Qiye hesitated for a long time, still unsure where to begin.

The only option was to let Li Lian speak about his own situation first, since he didn't know how Li Lian had arrived at this point in time.

"My story is super simple: I fought the Key to the Gate in front of the Gate of Truth."

At that time, you were just a soul left, and you seemed to have gone mad again, unable to hear anything.

Then, the Key to the Gate, not wanting me to enter the Gate of Truth, used two Time Bubble Bombs simultaneously.

It tore An Qingyu's body apart, creating a temporal turbulence that swept me into the river of time.

I used every means possible to escape the river of time, and then I arrived at this point in time.

I've discovered it's only the Yongle era; I'm planning to go to Kunlun Mountain to apply for a job.

I'll either become a high-ranking deity in the Great Xia Dynasty, or find a way back.

Then I discovered this dilapidated temple. I reckon that little boy is the only one in the entire Great Xia I've ever seen who has ever made a move.

Otherwise, I really wouldn't have noticed anything unusual about this Buddha statue.

Lin Qiye: (￣ェ￣;)

As expected of Li Lian! He survived being caught in a time turbulence!

As for the little boy Li Lian mentioned, Lin Qiye confirmed that the little boy was indeed himself.

Let alone the entire Great Xia Dynasty, even if the entire universe could remember that little boy's aura...

Li Lian was the only one who could do this, so it's quite normal that he was able to discover that the clay Buddha statue was related to him.

"Let's start from what happened after you disappeared, otherwise I don't know where to begin."

"You can start from the beginning of time, but we're only in the Ming Dynasty now. It's still hundreds of years before our timeline!"

"Then I'll tell you, I went back to Sunshine Mental Hospital after you left!"
