I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 541: Space and time are not a complete whole
"not good!"

Meng Boqian, who was controlling the library, had a drastic change of expression. Even when Zhou Tieyi descended upon the library from afar before, he was not so shocked and angry.

Because at this time, Xu Yu was using the methods of the eclectic school to plunder the accumulation of historians!
The eclectic school is a method of absorbing all schools of thought, which is known as "combining Confucianism, Mohism, and Legalism". The fourth level is called "borrowing from others", which is similar to the seventh level of Confucianism's "self-cultivation". One can practice other schools' methods. However, unlike the Confucian "self-cultivation" where the more precise the key points, the better, the fourth level of "borrowing from others" of the eclectic school focuses on "borrowing from others" as much as possible. If one wants to perfect this way, one must at least practice the methods of the four schools and reach the middle level of all of them to be called "borrowing from others".

As a second-grade miscellaneous scholar who has lived for four hundred years, Ju Zidan naturally also knows some historian's methods. At this time, with the help of the breath of all things and the Taoist inheritance of Tianxuzi, he passed on all his historian's skills to Tianxuzi.

However, reversing time and space is extremely special. Ordinary people cannot withstand the power of time during the reversal process. Even Ju Zidan, who does not understand the way of time, will have his own Taoism weakened because of the reversal.

However, Tianxuzi was a virtual fish that had lived for a thousand years. During the three hundred years of reversal, he was ignorant. Now he was just absorbing the three hundred years of changes in the history books in the library to fill his own empty and wasted three hundred years. In a moment in the outside world, for Tianxuzi, who was undergoing a countercurrent transformation at this time, it was three hundred years of studying history books.

After completing the transformation, the black Peng bird spread its huge wings, and strong winds surged from under its wings, driving the changes in history and allowing the time that had been solidified in the countercurrent to continue to flow back. As a virtual fish that has lived for a thousand years, Tianxuzi would certainly not be satisfied with just three hundred years of accumulation. If possible, he would naturally want to completely plunder the thousand-year accumulation of historians here.

After all, a third-rank official like Meng Boqian could not stop his plundering, and history was meant to be read.

In the strong wind, the rustling sound of flipping pages formed a surging wave of history. The written words recorded by historians flew out from the pages, gathered and exchanged, and turned into strange dragon seals in the tide of history. They were absorbed by Tianxuzi's wings and formed thick ink-colored feathers.

The strong wind naturally blew onto the battlefield between Xiao Yuanshan and Zhou Tieyi. This solidified grassland battlefield changed again, continuing to go back from the time point of 280 years ago.

Going back two hundred and eighty years or one thousand years, for Zhou Tieyi who has spanned ten thousand years of time, there is no change. But for Xiao Yuanshan, who has a short life and is only twenty-two years old, going back only one year will make it impossible for him to maintain his strongest strength, because he has not reached the realm of a saint and is still bound by time. At the same time, the source of his recovery at this time is also due to this library.

However, after the sword was revived, the glittering and peerless divine sword fell into Xiao Yuanshan's hand first. With the Tiandu sword in his hand, Xiao Yuanshan made a sword flower with his left hand, and a dazzling sword light burst out with him as the center, slashing towards Tianxuzi who was waving his wings.

The sword light of the peerless divine weapon burst out from the time point where Xiao Yuanshan was, and traced downstream. In Tianxuzi's eyes, it filled every inch of space in this library, and filled every time point since Xiao Yuanshan's death in 280 years. No matter whether it was space or time, within these 280 years, within this library, it was filled with sword light, and there was nowhere to hide. Even though He had comprehended the way of time with the help of Ju Zidan's Breath of All Things, He was still filled with endless fear at this moment.

Zhou Tieyi laughed and said, "How come Champion Hou has learned to be distracted!"

As soon as he had a thought, the virtual godhead representing the divine position in Tianxuzi's body solidified and condensed into a jade disc that was as round as the sun, and its light shone forever.

Clouds rose above the jade disc, and lines of divine talismans outlined the images of myriad gods. The omnipresent light was essentially the leaping and changing fire of humanity. Originally, the two were not intertwined, but with the emergence of the Five Immortals, the confluence of humans and gods was further advanced, allowing the embryo of the peerless divine weapon, the Taiyi Jade Disc, to be further perfected.

One of the powers of the Taiyi Jade Disc is to strengthen the divine authority of gods. Under the shining light of the Taiyi Jade Disc, every feather of Tianxuzi can be clearly seen. Every feather and every down comes from the breath of history. At the same time, his copper-yellow eagle eyes are endowed with some saintly status by the Taiyi Jade Disc, allowing him to transcend time for a short time.

Tianxuzi flapped his wings, stirring up the long river of history and agitating the dark and fluctuating time around him. Then, as the wings flapped, time stirred up a counter-wave and crashed into the sword light flowing down from above. A roc that covered the sky and the sun spread its wings and flew high, briefly transcending the constraints of time. In this peculiar library, with the help of the Taiyi Jade Disc, it soared up in time and space, and roamed freely in heaven and earth.

Tianxuzi was completely immersed in the perception of the Holy Way at this moment. He looked "downwards", and now he looked at the supreme sword light wielded by Champion Marquis Xiao Yuanshan. It was no longer filling every space and every time, but was like falling from three dimensions to two dimensions, forming a fixed picture scroll, taking Champion Marquis as the starting point, following the river of time and history, and merely filling up the tributaries of this library.

As long as he could fly over the library branch, this sword light would be meaningless.

Time and space are not a complete whole, but a picture made up of fragments, just like a comic book in the hands of a child.

If time is compared to a river, then this river has countless forks and a main branch. The mainstream is the certain history that has already happened, which determines the direction of time and the development and changes that all things have completed, and it cannot be reversed.

However, the mainstream will also form countless small tributaries, just like this library that can reverse time. The history of the mainstream will not change, but it can be traced back to the corresponding time point through the tributaries. From the perspective of the "river section", it means tracing back to the corresponding time point and even shaping different results.

But this is always short-lived, and can only be fixed in the retrospection of the tributaries. Once it returns to the mainstream, it will reach the time point of "now", allowing part of the past results to be fixed in the current mainstream.

It is similar to bringing a person back to life from the dead. In fact, it does not change the entire history, but only changes the historical tributary of this person, grafting the time point of his resurrection onto the current time node of the mainstream history, without changing the changes in other tributaries and mainstreams in the middle.

······
The perception of countless times fell into Tianxuzi's heart when he transformed into Tianpeng and jumped out of the long river of time. It was an incomparable sense of wonder that recognized the essence of the world. People could not help but want to stop at this stage, so much so that Tianxuzi himself did not realize that transcending time itself means that there is no time to rely on. Even with the Taiyi Jade Disc, he was like a moth, melting away bit by bit in the light of the Holy Way, neither existing in the present nor in the past.

Fortunately, at this opportune moment, Zhou Tieyi transmitted the voice to Tianxuzi through the Taiyi Jade Disc, interrupting his transformation process.

“Don’t get addicted.”

Tianxuzi woke up immediately, and the huge roc flapped its wings, flying over the sword waves raised by Xiao Yuanshan in the tributary of the long river of time, and wanted to fall back into the tributary of time, the library.

He estimated in his mind that with his current ability, he could probably use three "jumps" in such a closed space and time as the library, which meant that he could still involve Xiao Yuanshan in at least two full-strength attacks.

In a duel between masters, one move could determine victory or defeat. If He could engage Xiao Yuanshan twice, it would be enough to help the Father secure victory.

Unfortunately, before he fell from the height, Xiao Yuanshan had already reacted the moment Tianxuzi leaped. He frowned. The Shengshihou in front of him who had turned to practicing Shintoism not only had strength and talent that were no less than his own, but his ability to train subordinates was also far stronger than his own.

If he had had a subordinate like Peng at the beginning, he would not have ended up in such a situation.

No! Why do I have so many distracting thoughts after just being resurrected today?
Xiao Yuanshan suddenly became alert. While examining himself, he immediately realized the reason. His current body was made up of national destiny. Although its power was not much different from his original flesh and blood body, national destiny came from the world of all living beings, which would naturally affect his temperament and thinking. On the other side, the sword light that Xiao Yuanshan swung down with his left hand turned. The terrifying sword light covering time went from downstream to upstream in the historical tributary of the library, forming a new loop. On top of the library tributary, another tributary of the long river of time was opened up, but this tributary was fixed in a smaller range, only fixing the battlefield between him and Zhou Tieyi, so as to bypass the possibility that Tianxuzi could change the time of the library and affect his own state.

However, in this back and forth, Zhou Tieyi had already sent Kuishen and the other two out of the battlefield between the two. At the same time, Tianxuzi landed from the Holy Road, and did not blindly intervene in the battlefield between the two. Instead, he continued to flap his wings, causing time in the library to begin to reverse.

This was what Zhou Tieyi had ordered before coming in. This time, the Confucians wanted to obtain Jiang Taiyi's inheritance. As the price for the help of the Miscellaneous School, Zhou Tieyi had to at least help the Miscellaneous School release that first-rank Taoist lineage. At the same time, he was also very curious about what the original first-rank Taoist lineage of the Miscellaneous School was, and why it was completely erased by the Historians.

Time began to flow backwards under the push of Tianxuzi. History books flipped through the pages one after another, and history went back to the founding of Daxia. Suddenly, smoke filled the air around them, and in the flowing dark history, countless swords and shadows were looming.

This also affected Gao Wencan and the other two who were advancing in the library. At this time, the control in the library was not entirely in the hands of Meng Boqian. Although the three of them were protected by the Spring and Autumn Cicada Shell and were not afraid of the time going back within a thousand years, Meng Boqian and Tianxuzi were fighting for the power of the Historian Library, which caused the power of the library to begin to become disordered. The sword lights and shadows around them were all projected from history.

What can be recorded in history are all major events, most of which involve beings of the third rank or above, so many of these sword fights are extremely dangerous. Wei Shaoan holds an iron halberd in his hand, dashing left and right to protect the two people behind him, but his speed also slows down.

What's even more uncomfortable is that, because Tianxuzi and Meng Boqian are both outsiders, the struggle for control over the library is based on their understanding of the historian's techniques.

Tianxuzi, who had gone against the flow of the library for three hundred years and gained three hundred years of knowledge from the library, although had no famous teachers in history, was still stronger than Meng Boqian at this time, making it impossible for Meng Boqian to control the changes in time and space.

Behind them, Kuishen and his two companions strode after them, Kuishen waving a long whip in his hand, and two third-rank deputy gods protected him on both sides. They were much stronger than Meng Boqian and his two companions, and they chased them faster in the midst of swords and shadows.

"Let him out again!"

Gao Wencan urged Meng Boqian beside him in a sharp voice.

In this situation, the only way to change the battlefield is to continue releasing historical figures!
But Meng Boqian looked a little hesitant.

Gao Wencan did not understand the methods of historians. This "releasing people" was not a random act. Ordinary people, even those of the second rank, were recorded in the history books as puppets.

Even if the historian can be driven, he must have the corresponding understanding himself, unless he is a peerless person like Xiao Yuanshan, whose spirit and energy have been locked up, and he can have self-awareness only after being released.

However, among the peerless talents who have been put to death by historians, only Xiao Yuanshan, the Marquis of Champion, would selflessly help the Great Xia Dynasty under such circumstances.

"Let the others go, I can't control them!"

Meng Boqian growled.

Gao Wencan subconsciously asked, "Where are the former emperors?"

In his opinion, if the former emperors of Great Xia could be resurrected from this library, then even if they could not exert their original saintly powers, they would be able to decide the outcome.

But when he said this, he was stunned for a moment. Yes, if the method was so simple, why didn't Meng Boqian use it earlier.

"They're not dead."

Meng Boqian replied coldly.

But this answer made Gao Wencan feel a chill down his spine.

At this time, Kuishen and the other two had already caught up. Although the battle between Zhou Tieyi, Xiao Yuanshan, and Tianxuzi was mysterious, because it involved time, it was actually only two or three moves and a few dozen breaths, so Kuishen and Meng Boqian were not far away from each other.

The flow of history around him became more and more intense. When Meng Boqian saw Kuishen waving a snake-head whip behind him, he knew with a quick guess in his mind that Wei Shaoan was no match for this third-grade deity.

A fierce look flashed in his eyes. If he couldn't get the final conclusion from Jiang Taiyi and Zhou Tieyi, then everything today would be meaningless. At this point, he couldn't care less.

"The Divine Martial Marquis Zhuge Dan!"

Following his low shout, a scroll of green bamboo flew out from the rows of bookshelves again, but this time it did not fly out from the Biography of Hu Chen, but from the Biography of Qing Chen, the Confucian's favorite.

At the end of the Five Dynasties of the North and the South, Emperor Taizu raised an army to rule the world. Apart from the great threat of Shintoism, there was only one person who made Emperor Taizu retreat three times and attack the State of Qi three times before he could achieve his goal.

This is the Prime Minister of Qi State, Zhuge Dan, the Marquis of Shenwu, who is well versed in Confucianism and Legalism and has mastered the art of Yin and Yang!
"Shenwu" is the title of an emperor. It was bestowed upon a minister, which shows how important it was. When Emperor Lie of Qi passed on the throne, he entrusted his son to him, saying, "If you are incompetent, you can take over the country yourself."

Unfortunately, even though he was a powerful emperor, he still died young and was unable to recover, which made the world sigh.
