Guarding the River of Time
Chapter 575 - 565: Chaotic Space-Time, Forge Platform!
After the ninth tributary was opened up, Wu Di’s forging environment was also completed.
Nine tributaries of time converge!
At this moment, Wu Di finally understood that Brother Su had forcibly opened the last time tributary for him!
Staring at the scene in front of him, Wu Di unconsciously swallowed, reevaluating Brother Su’s terrifying strength and reassessing the weight of the identity of the "River Guardian"...
After the opening was completed, Su Mu put away the Black Axe, returned to his original position, and said, "See, does this meet the requirement?"
Su Mu’s words pulled Wu Di’s thoughts back to reality, and he nodded, saying, "It...it’s perfect, already very perfect."
The next most crucial step is to establish the forging platform at the confluence of the nine tributaries of time, which is the most difficult step.
At the confluence of the nine tributaries, the waves were surging, and time and space were interwoven, extremely chaotic. Building a stable forging platform in such a chaotic place was unimaginably difficult, almost an impossible task.
Although Wu Di was able to forge his own abode on the waters of the River of Time, it was limited to the calm tributary waters.
Even so, it took Wu Di countless effort to have a peaceful place for forging on the tributary of the River of Time.
These nine tributaries were already very turbulent, plus wanting to build a stable forging platform at the most chaotic, most turbulent confluence, it was completely impossible with only Wu Di’s strength.
While Wu Di was pondering in distress, Su Mu waved his hand, and the water at the confluence instantly solidified into ice.
By the time Wu Di realized it, Su Mu was already standing on the ice, studying Wu Di’s design drawing.
Seeing this scene, Wu Di was dumbfounded. He rubbed his eyes, staring incredulously at the scene before him.....
Brother Su...he froze the River of Time?!
He subconsciously slapped himself, and the burning pain on his face told him that he was not dreaming.
Freezing time is not uncommon in some independent small worlds. Some Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors can do it.
But this wasn’t freezing an independent small world; it was the River of Time!
Moreover, it was at the confluence of the most chaotic nine tributaries, freezing countless worlds...
Most importantly, this involved a dimension problem.
If you are within a world and freeze the time of that world, it merely means your strength is quite formidable, able to surpass the time rule of that world, but you are still under the constraint of the River of Time, unable to affect it at all.
Yet, Brother Su stood above the River of Time, freezing countless worlds, which means transcending above the River of Time to freeze time!
The difference is like night and day!
Splitting time tributaries with a single hand, freezing the River of Time with a wave, overturning Wu Di’s cognition and worldview within just a few breaths.
While Wu Di was still in a daze, Su Mu had already started creating the forging platform.
First, Su Mu took out sixteen thick wooden stakes from the Dantian Space, then melted sixteen one-meter-radius pile points precisely, allowing the stakes to be inserted smoothly.
With quick efficiency, Su Mu embedded the sixteen thick wooden stakes into the ice, reaching two meters deep to the riverbed.
These stakes were not ordinary wood—Su Mu discovered some treasure trees during his years patrolling the river that he thought were noteworthy, so he cut them down and kept them.
In the middle of the river, the foundation could only be built this way.
After confirming the foundation’s solidity, Su Mu began selecting the ore material for the foundation’s surface, finally choosing "Primordial Divine Ore."
This ore was incredibly solid and very durable, excellent for laying foundations.
Anyway, he had a heap in the Dantian Space, and taking out a few hundred jins for the foundation was no more than a drop in the bucket.
In Wu Di’s design drawings, the forging platform’s foundation only needed twenty square meters, just enough to lay a forging platform.
Su Mu expanded it to fifty square meters for convenience, leaving space for Wu Di to rest.
....
In less than ten breaths, the hardest part of the foundation was completed.
Wu Di just stood there, wide-eyed, watching Su Mu complete the incredible feat step by step in merely ten breaths—a task that could have taken Wu Di countless years!
"Brother Wu, why are you still standing there?"
"Quick, come up and try it."
Su Mu turned around and called out to Wu Di, still in a daze on the floating island.
Hearing this, Wu Di came back to his senses and leaped onto the foundational platform.
As soon as his foot touched the ground, he felt something unusual.
The sixteen wooden stakes driven into the riverbed were all made of top-tier Holy Wood—Holy Abyss Rice Wood, Three Thousand Fallen Ghost Trees, Ancient Celestial Wood.....
Each type of Holy Wood was a legendary extinct wood, only growing above the River of Time.
As they had grown above the River of Time for years, they possessed the characteristics of "Wood of Time," unaffected by the Water of Time.
Furthermore, due to the high quality of these Holy Woods themselves, they were several times more effective than common Wood of Time!
The most important condition for chopping down these Holy Woods is to be able to get ashore and maintain human form and power after getting ashore to chop down the Holy Wood, which possibly only Su Mu can do.....
Don’t think that Wu Di can stand on the floating island means he truly "landed," because the floating island is still within the waters, within the range of the River of Time.
True landing refers to the "riverbank" on both sides of the main river channel.
.....
"How is it?"
"Does it feel solid enough?"
"Can it meet your requirements, or should I add a few more stakes?"
Su Mu asked Wu Di.
Upon hearing this, Wu Di waved his hand, saying: "No need, no need, it’s already more than enough, completely enough!"
"Brother Su, there’s really no need to waste so much material...."
Wu Di, looking at the fifty-square-meter foundational platform before him, slowly said.
"It’s alright, a bit more space, no need to be so constrained, and you can have a place to rest." Su Mu smiled and waved his hand.
......
"The foundation is already done, next is the forging platform..."
"As for the forging platform, I’m not too familiar with it, afraid it’ll fall short of your requirements if I make it." Su Mu smiled.
.....
"Brother Su, you’ve already helped me so much."
"Next, leave it to me."
With that, Wu Di placed the Treasure Pearl on the ground, taking off his top to reveal his strong, perfect muscles.
"Brother Su, please step back a little."
Hearing this, Su Mu retreated, standing upon the water, leaving Wu Di ample space to perform.
