Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 353 - 343: Exiling the Shattered Worlds! Miraculous Life

Chapter 353: Chapter 343: Exiling the Shattered Worlds! Miraculous Life

Upon closer inspection, it was a small koi carp the size of a palm.

Its scales were a pale gold, its tail was beautiful, and its eyes were like amber, reflecting a resolute gaze.

This little koi carp swam among the decaying and shattered fish corpses in the flood, swimming back, refusing to be carried into the deep pit, unwilling to be banished.

But, it was just a small koi carp, how could it resist such a powerful torrent?

Even so, it still did not give up, struggling desperately to swim back.

Seeing this scene, Su Mu was inexplicably touched.

With a wave of his hand, he caught the koi carp, rescuing it.

.....

Finally, the torrent had completely subsided.

This deep pit was truly capacious, having been filled for so long, with so much, yet not even half full.

Su Mu regarded the little koi carp in his hand.

To his surprise, all the other fish in the torrent had died, yet this little koi carp had survived, which was quite incredible.

Soon, Elder Ling came over.

He examined the little koi carp up and down, becoming more and more astonished as he looked.

The astonishment was not because the little koi carp was special, but because it was so ordinary!

It was precisely because it was so ordinary that he couldn’t understand why it survived.

In this flood, countless powerful "fish" had perished.

But such an ordinary little koi carp survived, which was entirely impossible.

.....

Looking at this ordinary little koi carp, Su Mu also thought of Little Koi Carp, his fourth spirit pet.

However, this little koi carp was not the rare and uncommon koi carp, but just an ordinary little koi carp.

Its survival, perhaps it wasn’t fated to die, or perhaps it was just lucky.

It just so happened to catch his attention, which could be considered fate, so Su Mu simply saved it.

...

With the excess floodwaters finally drained away and no other issues confirmed.

Su Mu waved his hand and released the solidification of the river channel.

"Go ahead, little one."

With that, Su Mu tossed the little koi carp into the river.

"It truly is... a miraculous little life." Elder Ling couldn’t quite understand and could only attribute it to the little koi carp’s resilience and good luck.

Surviving a temporal flood was indeed a miracle.

"Indeed, in this great deluge, many ferocious big fish could not escape, yet this small koi carp somehow survived." Su Mu said with a smile.

"It was fortunate enough to meet a friend who came to its aid, which could be considered a blessing in its destiny," Elder Ling said with a laugh.

"It’s just a small matter." Su Mu waved his hand dismissively.

To Su Mu, this was indeed a trivial matter. Over the years, whenever he encountered small fish or shrimp that needed help, he would mostly lend a hand.

Once released, the little koi carp gently touched the water’s surface, gazing up at Su Mu.

It stared at Su Mu for quite a while before diving into the water, leaving the place.

...

Meanwhile, within the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, on Nanmu Island.

In a small courtyard, a girl in white sat silently within a blood-red spirit circle. In front of her floated many light spots, each changing location every second.

Her face was pale, bloodless, and her breath was very weak.

Three hundred years...

She had endured for three hundred years, every second overextending her divine thought.

At this moment, the light spots before her suddenly became static.

She slowly opened her eyes, and a spark of light finally appeared in her hollow pupils.

"It’s over."

"We won..."

Her voice was weak and even slightly hoarse.

The great catastrophe that swept the All Heavens and Myriad Realms finally stopped; for this day, Dong’Er had persisted for three hundred years, protecting the Heaven Shepherd Alliance for three hundred years.

Otherwise, the majority, if not all, of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance’s worlds would have been destroyed, and all efforts would have been in vain.

"Three hundred years..."

Dong’Er murmured.

This was much quicker than she imagined because the time flow here was different from that of the River of Time; three hundred years passed here could be only a few months or even days in the River of Time.

She originally intended to persevere for at least a millennium...

Which meant that the master might have only needed a few days to calm the chaos on the River of Time, evidence of the master’s strength, which had grown to an unimaginable level.

....

Although Dong’Er preserved the foundation of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance, the losses were still heavy, especially in the Lower-Rank Immortal Realm, where losses exceeded half...

Not to mention those Great Worlds below the Lower-Rank Immortal Realm, which suffered losses estimated to reach over a thousand Great Worlds.

This was the greatest calamity the Heaven Shepherd Alliance had faced since its founding.

However, this was no longer important.

What was important was that the master had won, and this was the key.

Because if the master had lost, even if the Heaven Shepherd Alliance had survived, what meaning would it hold?

The powerful enemies behind the scenes could easily destroy the Heaven Shepherd Alliance with a mere wave of the hand.

She slowly stood up, wobbly, walking to the door to look at the painting on the wall inside the house.

She found the painting was no longer blank.

The master’s portrait had reappeared.

This meant... the crisis the master faced had been completely resolved.

She let out a heavy sigh of relief.

...

"I wonder how Brother Zhong and the others are doing..."

Dong’Er gazed into the void and murmured.

Having guarded the Heaven Shepherd Alliance for three hundred years also meant that the six of them had been gone for three hundred years, with no trace to be seen...

If... they all perished in battle.

Who would take over the Heaven Shepherd Alliance...

As a member of the Wisdom Divine Race, she could not cultivate and lacked the strength to support the entire alliance; she could only assist others.

At this moment, she unconsciously clenched her hands, feeling somewhat lost.

She was too tired and needed rest.

But now, she couldn’t rest yet and needed to continue waiting, guarding....

...

Above the Long River.

The flood disaster had also been completely resolved, and Su Mu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Brother Ling, come by my place for a cup of tea."

Su Mu said to Elder Ling.

Upon hearing this, Zero waved his hand and said, "Thanks, but I still have some urgent matters to attend to, so I won’t take up any more of your time."

"After the flood, the river was in disarray, so I won’t disturb you from dealing with it."

With that, Zero jumped from the stone embankment onto the water surface, waving his hand to summon a wooden boat under his feet. Standing on the boat, he cupped his hands towards Su Mu and said, "Fellow Daoist Su, take care."

....

Thus, Zero sailed away on the wooden boat, disappearing from view.

The next second.

The system’s broadcasting voice echoed in Su Mu’s mind.

Su Mu was actually quite curious about what rewards he would receive this time.
