The scene shifted.

Qiao Yu was already three years old, able to call "Dad" and "Mom," and run around the house.

Even after marriage, Qiao Anqing did not give up his research on spatiotemporal subjects. In fact, his research on time became more in-depth, reaching a level unprecedented.

Finally, when Qiao Yu was six years old, Qiao Anqing, sitting on the experimental equipment, was filled with excitement.

Because he had really succeeded!

In his hands, he held an egg that was half his size!

He had just traveled to the Cretaceous period and successfully brought back an Allosaurus egg!

There was still a throbbing of life inside this dinosaur egg, which was amazing.

After completely mastering this technology, Qiao Anqing became even more unstoppable, traveling through various timelines with great enthusiasm.

Gradually, he also learned that Kaiji Star was different from other planets.

Other planets in the universe had the ability to cultivate power, but Kaiji Star did not. There was a layer of golden seal above Kaiji Star, preventing all living beings on this planet from cultivating.

As he traveled to earlier timelines, Qiao Anqing learned that a terrifying god named Hermes was sealed on Kaiji Star!

Qiao Anqing was shocked.

There really were gods in the world?

The thrill of constantly discovering the truth made Qiao Anqing even more fascinated.

He even wanted to go to the mythical age.

However, the instrument could no longer meet his needs for such a large span.

Qiao Anqing began to master power himself, gradually increasing his strength, and finally ignited the Godfire of Law with the Law of Time, stepping into the True God realm!

From then on, Qiao Anqing became invincible in the world. Even if he encountered an enemy he couldn't beat, he could hide in the river of time, and no one could do anything to him.

And those who provoked him had to keep one eye open while sleeping.

Because Qiao Anqing could appear next to you at any time to attack you.

Qiao Anqing was only in his late twenties at that time, so he was naturally high-spirited, and began to travel through the river of time with Bai Shixia.

They counted stars in the Cretaceous period, watched the magnificent fireworks produced by supernova explosions in the starry sky, and personally witnessed the occurrence of myths in the ancient mythological era.

During this process, Qiao Anqing met a brother named Xiu.

Xiu was not a human, but a Juling (Giant Spirit) clan from the mythological era.

They were nearly ten meters tall, incredibly strong, and their divine power was irresistible.

Xiu and Qiao Anqing had compatible temperaments, and their relationship became better and better, almost to the point of sharing a pair of pants.

In the mythological era, the forces of the gods were on par, and gods were not uncommon in that era.

At Xiu's invitation, Qiao Anqing took Bai Shixia to the Juling clan as guests.

They toasted and drank in the Juling clan, having a great time.

However, the other members of the Juling clan were not as easy to talk to as Xiu.

They firmly believed that those who are not of our race must have different intentions, and even coveted Qiao Anqing's Law of Time.

After all, the Law of Time was one of the top ten laws, incomparably powerful.

In order to prevent Qiao Anqing from escaping into the river of time, the Juling clan even kidnapped Bai Shixia as a hostage.

The Juling clan and Qiao Anqing fought a terrifying battle that shocked the gods. Xiu was caught in the middle, in a dilemma.

On one side was his best brother, and on the other side were his parents and clansmen. Xiu couldn't decide at all, so he could only persuade them not to fight anymore.

However, neither Qiao Anqing, who was blinded by anger, nor the Juling clan paid attention to Xiu, and the battle became more and more intense.

Qiao Anqing, who had mastered the Law of Time, was not at a disadvantage even when fighting against the entire clan alone, and even manifested the river of time.

Under the scouring of the river of time, countless Juling clansmen aged crazily, and in the end, only a handful of bones remained. This was the terror of the Law of Time.

At this moment, Xiu finally couldn't stand it anymore. If this continued, his clansmen would definitely be slaughtered by Qiao Anqing. He stood up to stop Qiao Anqing and promised that he would persuade his clansmen to stop.

Qiao Anqing was silent for a while and chose to trust his best brother.

However, the next scene made Qiao Anqing's eyes crack and left Xiu speechless.

A junior of the Juling clan, because he easily saw his parents die at the hands of Qiao Anqing, lost his mind in anger and pointed his butcher knife at Bai Shixia.

"Shixia!"

Qiao Anqing let out a heart-wrenching scream and hugged Bai Shixia tightly.

He wanted to rewind time, but he still couldn't revive Bai Shixia.

He, who had mastered the Law of Time, could not be affected by the Law of Time, but Bai Shixia could not.

When he took Bai Shixia to travel through the river of time and met Xiu across time and space, the cause was produced, and Bai Shixia died at the hands of the Juling clan, which was the result.

The Law of Time allows you to see the cause and effect clearly, but it does not allow you to change the cause and effect.

No matter how many times he traveled through time, Bai Shixia would die in front of Qiao Anqing for various reasons.

Qiao Anqing watched his beloved die in front of him hundreds of times, and he completely went crazy.

The entire Juling clan, from top to bottom, was slaughtered by Qiao Anqing, except for one person, Xiu.

Qiao Anqing didn't kill him, nor did he say another word to Xiu. He just silently hugged Bai Shixia's body and left.

Their brotherhood was severed.

Although Xiu was still alive, he could not forgive himself. This obsession trapped him for the rest of his life, and he could not let it go until the moment he died.

The powerful obsession caused Xiu to lose all his memories and become the Corpse God of the undead world.

He had been waiting in the undead world, and even he himself didn't know what he was waiting for.

After Qiao Anqing left, he did something extremely crazy.

He wanted to resurrect Bai Shixia!

He wanted to change the established cause and effect!

This was undoubtedly an act against the will of heaven and earth. As long as the will of heaven and earth noticed a trace, Qiao Anqing would definitely be directly erased by the will of heaven, even if he was the master of the Law of Time.

However, Qiao Anqing went ahead without hesitation.

A butterfly flapping its wings can form a terrible hurricane on the other side of the sea.

Qiao Anqing didn't know what to do to change Bai Shixia's death.

So, he tried again and again.

He traveled back to the first time he met Bai Shixia countless times.

After trying countless times, Qiao Anqing finally confirmed one thing. The only way to resurrect a dead person was to fish people out of the river of time.

But this would definitely attract the obliteration of the will of heaven and earth.

Therefore, he needed an existence that could resist the will of heaven and earth to repel the will of heaven and earth for him.

And there was no better candidate than his son, Qiao Yu.

Qiao Anqing traveled back to the first time he met Bai Shixia again. This time, he suppressed a continent with his natal artifact, the Spacetime Black Tower, forming the Inner World.

He traveled through countless timelines, and his figure was behind almost all major events. He couldn't change history himself, but he could plot against those so-called gods to achieve his goals.

Deceiving the Twelve-Grade Creation Blue Lotus, tricking Hades to cut off his evil thoughts, collecting the lotus seeds of the six ancient divine lotuses...

Gradually, Qiao Anqing had another name among the gods.

The God-Deceiver.

His actions were crazy and bold, causing countless gods to call him Qiao the Madman.

Then, he took Bai Shixia and hid in the Inner World. Only here could he escape the prying eyes of the will of heaven and earth. Otherwise, as soon as he and Bai Shixia appeared, they would be immediately obliterated by the will of heaven and earth.

And his ultimate goal was only one, to push Qiao Yu to control the Law of Strength and come to this Inner World.

Only the Law of Strength could fight against the ethereal and grand will of heaven and earth.

Qiao Yu's pupils were filled with shock, and he looked at his father Qiao Anqing with more admiration in his eyes.

Although the scenes in the river of time were only a few, he knew very well how much suffering it took to achieve all this.

The pain that his father Qiao Anqing had experienced in this process was definitely more than his own.

And doing so much was only to resurrect a woman. No wonder the gods would call him a madman.

"Dad... I have another question." Qiao Yu asked with some confusion. "Then, logically speaking, since you have obtained the Creation Blue Lotus and so many lotus seeds, why don't you destroy your own godhead and master the Law of Strength yourself?"

"I naturally had this idea." Qiao Anqing shook his head. "But I am old after all, and years of war have led to some decline in my vitality. If I were to comprehend the Law of Strength, I would only have a 97% chance of success. Wouldn’t that be the same as courting death?"

Qiao Yu: "..."
