Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.
Chapter 338: The Border Guard
The time surrounding the hundreds of soldiers of the First Border Guard was simultaneously cut off by the second bronze carving knife.
They remained with their weapons raised, but a look of bewilderment quickly appeared in their eyes. The military orders they had received three breaths earlier, the positions of their comrades, and even why they were standing there all vanished from their consciousness.
The already formed crimson-gold military formation suddenly lost hundreds of nodes.
The battle flag in Gu Tianheng's hand suddenly fell.
The eleventh-order law spread along the military formation, forcibly protecting the soldiers who had lost time, but it had no way to retrieve the three breaths of memory that had been severed from them.
The third bronze carving knife behind Cang Mi was then raised.
This time, the carving knife was no longer aimed at a particular army, but at the lotus branch in the center of Wanling Star Harbor.
"All I need to do is cut off the time before its birth."
"This so-called world node never existed."
The third carving knife fell.
All the light around the lotus stalk dimmed simultaneously.
Scenes from the establishment of All Spirits Port began to rewind. The newly built public shipping lanes collapsed again, the three modified Golden Gates returned to their shattered state, and the original imprints left by more than a hundred civilizations were rapidly disappearing.
[The "Everything Stops Order" function is currently capturing node history.]
The lifespan of All Spirits Starport is decreasing.
[Node stability has decreased.]
Current stability: 71%.
Current stability: 53%.
Those civilizations that had already left the control of the Hunting Court simultaneously felt a strong sense of separation.
Their connection to the Myriad Spirits Starport is being erased from the past by Cang Mi. With the complete disappearance of the major historical nodes, Chu Zhou's Boundary Lotus True Form will also lose its foundation for descent.
The core of that blue civilization was the first to tremble.
"I remember why I came here."
A faint thought pierced through frozen time.
"It wasn't this port that chose me."
"It was my own choice to stay."
The second core of civilization then lit up.
Then came the third and the fourth.
More than a hundred different civilizations recalled the decisions they made on the ruins of the Fifth Hunting Court.
Cang Mi can cut through the time of the Starport's existence.
However, it could not change the suffering that each civilization had already endured before those choices took place, nor could it make them willing to return to the control of the Hunting Court.
The vanished traces of civilization have reappeared around the branches of the blue lotus.
One after another.
The node stability of Wanling Starport has stopped declining.
The black bell mark on Cang Mi's forehead trembled slightly.
"Memory also belongs to time."
"I will also cut off the time it takes for you to remember all of this."
The fourth bronze carving knife was raised.
A cyan-silver lotus leaf blocked the path in front of the core of the civilization.
Chu Zhou did not attack Cang Mi.
Amidst the lotus leaves, Black Dragon Lake, Linjiang Lantern City, and the projection of the Guardian Star simultaneously illuminated. The names already recorded on the Myriad Spirits War Merit Monument also appeared line by line above the starport.
"You can cut off a segment of their memory."
"But as long as there is one node that remembers."
"These things did not disappear."
In Linjiang City, all the ghost lamps lit up simultaneously.
At the same time, the Ninth Bureau Headquarters, the Lunar Base, the Holy City of Daylight, and the Seven Star Cities also received an anomaly alert from the All-Spirit Starport.
Cang Mi has sealed off the space.
Ordinary strength is insufficient to cross the hunting grounds.
However, the records in the Wanling War Merit Monument are not only preserved in Wanling Starport. Everyone who witnessed the destruction of the Fifth Hunting Court is a part of this history.
Zhou Guoqing stood by the window in Linjiang City.
He didn't know what was happening in the sea of stars; he only saw that the names of the civilizations that had just been restored within the Guardian Lamp had become blurred again.
The old man took out the list of names published on the Wanling War Merit Monument and began to read out the first names one by one.
"Alo Civilization"
"The Black Cliff Fleet of the Curved Horn Clan".
"Luohai Third Refuge City"
More and more residents of Linjiang are coming to the lamplight.
Schools, hospitals, and communities have reopened their vigilant lamps. No one is asking them to burn their souls; they are simply asked to remember that these civilizations, which are being erased by time, once existed.
During the day, the six towers of the holy city also lit up in the night sky.
Owen projected the public star map after the destruction of the Fifth Hunting Court onto the six light wells.
"The Holy City has recorded these worlds."
"They once broke free from the Hunting Court, and they also chose to join All Souls Port on their own."
"No one can say that this never happened."
Beihai, the Ancient City of the Sun, and the Remnant Star of the Guardian successively responded.
Countless beings, living infinitely far from the Starport of All Spirits, share the same record.
The fourth bronze carving knife finally fell.
It severed a large number of memories within the Wanling Starport, but it could not simultaneously cross ten world nodes to erase all witnesses from the ancestral realm.
The severed name is restored through the resonance of all spirits.
For the first time, Cang Mi stopped moving.
"Using records from different worlds to repair the time that has been severed."
"Is this your domain of laws?"
The ten lotus leaves of the Chu boat slowly turned.
"This is just their own memory."
"I will ensure that these memories have a path to follow."
Cang Mi stopped testing them one by one.
Twelve bronze engraving knives rose simultaneously, and the clock face without engravings fully appeared from the depths of the starry sky.
A massive clock face covered All Souls Harbor.
Time in the surrounding 361 worlds froze at the same moment. The chains of the past, which had not yet been completely broken, also took the opportunity to re-entwine the ley lines in various places.
[The Hunting Grounds are now fully under control.]
External node connections are being truncated.
[Remote power supply to the Myriad Spirits Azure Lotus Realm has decreased.]
[Current completeness of the Lotus True Form: 49%]
Time exile detected.
[Cang Mi is banishing Wanling Starport back 100,000 years.]
The starry sky before Chu Zhou's eyes changed rapidly.
The ruins of the Hunting Grounds have been restored to their original state.
The shattered altar regained its golden light.
One by one, destroyed warships reappeared from the past, reforming the Fifth Hunting Court's vertical pupils. Even Misaro, who had been nailed to death by the Holy Judgment Spear, condensed into a blurry outline at the center of the altar.
None of them have a true soul.
Yet it retains the power of the laws from its most peak period in the past.
Cang Mi stood atop the Wuke Clock Plate, looking down at the Chu Boat, which was now surrounded by the Past Hunting Court.
"The destruction of the Fifth Hunting Court is happening now."
"As long as I can transport you to a time before it is destroyed."
"That victory is gone."
Tens of thousands of warships opened fire simultaneously.
Misaro's blurry avatar also raised its five vertical pupils again, and above the civilization altar, billions of golden law weapons took shape once more.
Qin Zhenyuan forcibly pressed down on the wound on his chest.
He looked back at the Fifth Hunting Court, but his gaze remained unchanged.
"A counterfeit is still a counterfeit."
Cang Mi coldly said, "Even if it's just a piece of the past, it's enough to kill you all now."
Qin Zhenyuan inserted half of the black sword into the void.
The Mountain and River Blade Realm, comprised of three thousand contemporary gatekeepers, re-emerged, taking the initiative to withstand the first round of Hunter's Court's artillery fire.
"Then let's fight again."
Gu Tianheng also raised the commander's battle flag.
Those First Guard soldiers whose memories had been severed for three breaths still hadn't fully regained consciousness. But when they saw their comrades re-formation, their bodies instinctively returned to their proper positions.
They may have forgotten a military order.
But they haven't forgotten how they fought side by side.
The crimson-gold army formation took shape once more.
The two guardian armies clashed head-on with the Hunter's Court of the past. The immense aftershocks of the laws continuously impacted the Myriad Spirits Starport, causing cracks to appear one after another on the already damaged 108 Soul-Guiding Motherships.
Ning Yue led the Ninth Border Guard Army to guard the outside of the mobile lotus platform.
Whenever a mothership loses control, a remnant soul guarding the boundary will voluntarily enter the Soul Furnace, using its own gate-guarding seal to replace the Returning Soul Lamp to maintain the array patterns.
Chu Zhou did not join the main force.
His divine sense remained fixed on Cang Mi's timeless clock face.
Although the number of warships was enormous in the past, the clock face would experience brief energy fluctuations after each attack. Clearly, Cang Mi could not truly revive the entire Fifth Hunting Court.
It's just dragging out an attack that's already happened until now.
As long as the connection between the timeless disc and the past is severed, all laws of recurrence will fail.
"Shen Xinglan".
Chu Zhou's voice fell upon the moving lotus platform: "Find the core of the bell array."
Inside the lunar base, Shen Xinglan immediately took over all the data from the timeless disc.
The laws of time cannot be directly observed by ordinary equipment.
Instead of trying to calculate time itself, she began to compare the subtle changes in the starlight around her each time a past attack occurred.
The first round of fire was delayed by 0.7 breaths.
The second round of artillery fire was delayed by a single breath.
After the appearance of the Dharmakaya of Misala, the twelve starlight points simultaneously experienced a break.
"There are twelve fixed nodes inside the clock face."
Shen Xinglan quickly marked the coordinates: "Cangmi can't just move to the past at will. It needs twelve fixed objects to preserve itself at different times."
Little Jinbao was originally hiding behind a soul ship.
Upon hearing the words "fixed object," it immediately raised its head.
The myriad gold coins spread along the unmarked clock face.
To ordinary people, there were only incomprehensible laws of time. But Xiao Jinbao clearly sensed that there were twelve dark silver metal nails embedded inside the clock face.
Each long nail is connected to a bronze engraving knife.
"Owner."
"I can get them out."
Chu Zhou blocked its path with a root: "Cang Mi will kill you first."
Little Jinbao looked at the gradually crumbling Wanling Starport, and then glanced at the battlefield where Gu Tianheng and Qin Zhenyuan were.
"I can run fast."
"It cuts through time; you can't escape it."
Little Jinbao hugged the roots: "Then Master will send me inside. Once I hit a nail, all I have to do is hold on."
