Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 262 - 256: His Past, Changsheng’s Scheme

After noticing Dong’Er’s unusual behavior, the eldest and the third brother hurriedly asked, "Dong’Er, what’s wrong?"

"What did you see?"

Dong’Er slowly said, "The leader guarding the border, named Lin Ran, his hometown is not in the Longevity Immortal Realm, he was born in the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm."

Hearing this, the eldest and third brother were also stunned.

From our own Immortal Domain?

How did he end up in the Longevity Immortal Realm and became the Border General there?

"A traitor from our Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm?" the third brother furrowed his brows.

....

Finished speaking, Dong’Er shook his head and said, "Not a traitor."

"When he left the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, it was tens of thousands of years ago, and at that time, we hadn’t yet conquered the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm."

"When he was ten years old, he accidentally fell into a space rift and, following the chaotic spatial currents, ended up in the distant Longevity Immortal Realm."

Due to the thorough information the third brother brought, Dong’Er could clearly see the detailed life history of this Border General.

"He fell into the chaotic spatial currents at ten years old and didn’t die?" The eldest brother was very surprised.

....

"This person picked up a protective magical treasure when he was ten, which helped him withstand the chaotic spatial currents."

Dong’Er slowly said, "This person has a very good fortune, encountering serendipity throughout his growth with the help of many benefactors."

"Such a pity, originally a talent from our Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm." The eldest brother said wistfully.

Being able to become the General guarding the border in the Longevity Immortal Realm is already a great person there, with high status and power, second only to one, above millions.

To reach such a position, a person like him must have invincible talent and fortune.

Yet even so invincible, a life full of immortal opportunities, still got beaten by the third brother, so... sometimes, the difference between people is greater than between people and dogs.

The third brother expressed that he has seen many geniuses, but they all call him a genius!

.....

After finishing reading the life history, Dong’Er used a pen to write down all of Lin Ran’s life information.

She only noted down at what time, at what place, and what calamity he encountered because to conquer Lin Ran, one must start from this aspect.

Help him when he’s weak, invest in him, nurture him.

In this way, when returning to the normal timeline, Lin Ran, this Border General, will become their ally, and he will become stronger.

As long as Lin Ran becomes their ally, he will play a crucial role in the future attack on the Longevity Immortal Realm.

...

After finishing writing, Dong’Er handed it to the third brother: "Brother Da Niu, these are his life records, critical turning points in his past."

The third brother took it and, with just a glance, remembered everything.

"There’s no time to lose, I’ll head out first."

With that, the third brother prepared to enter the River of Time, return to the past, and secretly help Lin Ran, making him their subordinate.

"Let me go with you," the eldest brother said.

Finished speaking, Dong’Er shook her head: "Just let Brother Da Niu go alone; if Brother Zhong also goes, it will trigger a greater causal effect, leading to bad things happening."

...

"Alright then, third brother, be safe and don’t mess it up."

"Don’t worry."

With that, the third brother transformed into a stream of light and plunged into the void.

....

Meanwhile, in the distant Longevity Immortal Realm.

A Glazed Tower stands atop the clouds, with ethereal immortal energy transforming into numerous illusory Immortal Bridges, crisscrossing among other golden small towers, presenting a sacred and peaceful sight.

On the top of the tallest Glazed Tower is a simple little pavilion.

A white-haired youth sits cross-legged on a mat, surrounded by an aura of Immortal Charm.

In the next second, the white-haired youth suddenly opened his eyes, a look of shock appearing in the cloudy pupils.

With a wave of his large hand, a paper crane was thrown out, transforming into an Immortal Crane as it flew into the clouds, heading in a certain direction.

Soon after.

The void in front of the white-haired youth began to twist as a middle-aged man in a Purple Gold Python Robe slowly emerged from a space rift.

Upon seeing the white-haired youth, the middle-aged man clasped his hands and bowed slightly, smiling as he said, "It’s a rare honor to be summoned by Master Bai."

Finished speaking, the white-haired youth turned his head and looked at the man in the python robe, seriously saying, "The General currently guarding the border is your man, right?"

"Yes, Lin Ran is my man, my confidant," the man in the python robe replied, "What about him?"

After all, Lin Ran’s position is very important, as he is the General in charge of border defenses.

"I just conducted a deduction."

"Someone intends to use the River of Time to travel to the past, presumably to kill General Lin."

The voice of the white-haired youth sounded very old.

Although he appears as a youth, he has lived for an incredibly long time, several epochs older than the man in the python robe before him.

"Oh, so that’s it."

"I’ll send Gu Yuan there."

Since traveling through the River of Time to the past to eliminate a significant figure during their weaker period isn’t unheard of.

Therefore, the middle-aged man in the python robe was not too surprised.

After all, Lin Ran is the General guarding the border, and across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, there are many who wish to kill him.

"The opponent’s background is not simple."

"Sending just the Ancient Saint Master might be dangerous."

The white-haired youth slowly said. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Even Master Bai can’t deduce who the opponent is?" The man in the authoritative python robe was also surprised, as it was his first time seeing something that Master Bai couldn’t deduce.

Hearing this, the white-haired youth shook his head, "I can’t see clearly at all; I only know General Lin Ran is in danger, nothing else."

"Alright, I’ll take Gu Yuan and personally step into the River of Time to check it out."

"I want to see exactly what kind of demons or monsters dare to challenge our Longevity Immortal Realm."

The authoritative python robe man said with a forced smile.

"I don’t think it’s simple; you should report this to the Domain Master."

The white-haired youth felt the matter was not simple and was uneasy.

"Does something like this need reporting to the Domain Master?"

"I’ll handle it; otherwise, what’s the point of me being Vice Domain Master?"

The authoritative man said with a smile.

...

"Alright then, ensure you all stay cautious on this journey." The white-haired youth advised.

...

"Don’t worry, in the early years, I often visited the River of Time, I’m very familiar."

"It’s been a long time since I visited the River of Time; this journey can also serve as a bit of entertainment since it’s been so peaceful these years, really quite dull."

The authoritative python robe man said lightly, shrugging his shoulders.

.....

"I think"

"Alright, I’ll handle this matter; I’ll go find Gu Yuan and then take a trip through the River of Time."

Before the white-haired youth could finish speaking, the authoritative man had already disappeared from the spot.

Watching the direction where the man disappeared, the white-haired youth sighed heavily, as his anxiety grew stronger.
