Chapter 285: Is the river of time leaking?
[You're more concerned about what Hu Jun said about "changing defense."]
[Where are they going to change defense?]
[Will changing defense reveal the true enemy?]
[You're somewhat looking forward to it.]
[But that's all for later.]
[You don't want to waste the current time.]
[So you set your sights on the Ancient God realm expert who stayed behind to "accompany" you.]
[You smile and try to get close to him: "Fellow Daoist, may I know your name?"]
["Surname Jiang!"]
[Of course, you already know the name of this Ancient God realm expert.]
[After all, you have the talent of Chaos Heavy Pupil.]
[Not only do you know he's called Jiang Chen, but you also know he's over a billion years old.]
[You're trying to get close to him just to gather some information.]
[Hearing his cold response, you don't mind and continue: "Fellow Daoist, your surname is Jiang too! Mine is also Jiang, turns out we're from the same family!"]
["Hmm!"]
["Fellow Daoist, do you think we can withstand this invasion?"]
["Don't know!"]
["Fellow Daoist, why are there children in the Holy City?"]
["There are!"]
["Fellow Daoist..."]
[...]
[Unbelievable! You're completely speechless!]
[This one is truly sparing with words.]
[If his response exceeds three words, he's basically just making it up.]
[For instance, when you asked why there are children in the Holy City, he actually answered, "There are"?]
[Isn't that completely off-topic?]
[You realize it's impossible to get any information from this one.]
[So you don't bother with him anymore; you start wandering around the Holy City on your own.]
[Walking around and observing might help you learn something.]
[Jiang Chen doesn't stop you from wandering; he just follows you like an accessory.]
[Of course, you know this is just on the surface. If you show any intention of leaving the Holy City, he'll definitely take action.]
[Three days pass in the blink of an eye.]
[During these days, you haven't explored much.]
[Because in this Holy City, you can't shatter the void.]
[You don't know if this inability to shatter the void is due to the arrangement of a supreme being or a change after the world's invasion.]
[All you know is that because you can't shatter the void and can only fly, your exploration speed is severely limited.]
[As a result, after three days, you haven't discovered much.]
[The only thing you can confirm is that there are indeed many children and elders in this Holy City.]
[After counting your numbers, he shouts to Hu Jun, "Brother Hu Jun, I can still hold on. Come back when your team is full!"]
[Just as the middle-aged man finishes shouting, a strong-looking man beside him, appearing to be in his thirties, spits out a mouthful of blood.]
[Instantly, a gap appears in his defense.]
[Silver water splashes onto that person.]
[You see that person's body begin to change.]
[In a brief moment, he transforms from someone in his thirties to a white-haired elder with a furrowed brow.]
[No, that's not the key point.]
[That person also loses all his power, becoming a mortal.]
[Seeing this, Hu Jun quickly starts directing people to fill the gap.]
[Hu Jun's reaction is already quite swift.]
[But it's still too late.]
[After that person lost his defense, the pressure on the already strained people in Area 97 increased exponentially.]
[Before Hu Jun could arrange for people to fill the gap, more breaches occurred.]
[Several people in succession were hit by the silver water.]
[You see that everyone hit by the silver water, without exception, loses all their cultivation.]
[Afterward, they become either elders or children.]
[At this moment, you finally understand why there are so many children and elders in the Holy City.]
[It turns out they were originally soldiers.]
[But due to a brief lapse in defense, they became children and elders.]
[Besides this,]
[You also seem to know who the real enemy is?]
[It's not some powerful being.]
[It's the silver "waterfall" hanging in the void before you.]
[This "waterfall" is the most terrifying existence.]
[It can strip away one's cultivation and make them older or younger.]
[No, perhaps it's not just that.]
[This transformation, with your strength and talent, you can't even tell that those elders and children were originally cultivators?]
[That's truly frightening!]
[You must know, this is just from a splash of water.]
[If one were directly submerged by this silver "waterfall," it could be even more severe.]
[Suddenly, you think of the silver river you saw in the last simulation?]
[Could this silver water be related to the waterfall?]
[You previously speculated that the silver river was the river of time?]
[If this waterfall is related to that river,]
[Doesn't that mean the water from the river of time has flowed back into this world?]
[Instantly, you think of people becoming older or younger?]
[This seems to be the power of time?]
[You look at the silver waterfall and murmur in your heart, "Could it really be that the river of time is leaking?"]
