“Yu, what did you see?” Leng Xunshuang, standing beside Fang Yu, watched his changing expression and asked.
“Our surroundings, or to be more precise, this space we’re currently in… are permeated by the law of time,” Fang Yu said solemnly, his eyes still holding a look of awe. “And the law of time is actively operating.”
“The Time Law?” Leng Xiuming frowned slightly.
All things in the world are governed by laws.
And the law of time is one of the most important laws among them!
“Yes, the laws of time,” Fang Yu said solemnly. “But I can’t see the direction our laws of time are operating… Are we going backward, or… accelerating?”
But I tend to think that time is in reverse, and we’re likely… going back to the past.
Upon hearing this, Leng Xun’s beautiful eyes flickered.
“The ancient domain of the human race… is it actually hidden in a point in the past?” Leng Xunshuang said.
“It seems very likely,” Fang Yu looked at Leng Xunduang and said, “I’ve always been puzzled, how could the ancient domain of the human race still exist until now without being discovered?”
After all, with the current level of control the God Race has over the Immortal Realm… they would definitely be able to find any given place if they wanted to.
“So I always thought the Human Race Ancient Domain had been destroyed.”
Speaking of this, Fang Yu looked up at the sky.
countless fragments whizzed past above his head.
“If all means are possible…then hiding the ancient territory of the human race at some point in the past is obviously the best way.” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and continued, “This way, even the gods won’t be able to find the ancient territory of the human race.”
But strangely
Before the Human Domain was hidden, it had been invaded and ransacked several times by countless races.
“If there was a way to hide the ancient Human domain in the past, why wasn’t it done from the beginning instead of waiting until after it had been ransacked?”
Thinking of this, Fang Yu’s brows furrowed.
“Yu, perhaps… just because the human race’s ancient domain has been destroyed in the present, so… do you need to return to the past human race’s ancient domain through time tunnels?” Leng Xun said.
“There’s a possibility,” Fang Yu said. “But to do so… wouldn’t that go against cause and effect?”
“If someone traveled back in time to the ancient domain of humankind, would…the treasures and inheritances that major clans have taken away in the present still exist in that past domain?”
“If it exists, then I will take it back to the present time. Wouldn’t that mean that there are two identical treasures being passed down?”
For the laws of time, Fang Yu’s understanding was limited.
But he knew very well that once the laws of time were set in motion, whether rewinding or accelerating… the repercussions would be enormous.
When they were still on Earth, Fang Yu and Honglian had once been imprisoned in a cage in the far north, resulting in them being taken away for a year.
They felt like they had only been in the cage for a short while, but in reality, it had already been a year.
And the alien races also rose rapidly during this period, seizing control of most of the territory.
That was Fang Yu’s first experience with the power of the law of time.
And this time, what he’s experiencing is most likely time travel, going back to the past.
Compared to moving forward, time travel backward involves greater complications, inevitably touching upon the concept of causality.
!
Therefore, Fang Yu’s mood was complicated and hard to calm down.
“Feather.”
At this moment, Fang Yu felt a warmth spreading across both cheeks.
Leng Xun held his face in her hands, cupping it gently.
“Don’t think too much about it.” Leng Xiuming’s eyes were gentle like water as she softly said, “No matter what we encounter next… I will be by your side.”
“Hmm,” Fang Yu nodded and replied, “I haven’t either…”
Before he could finish his words, something strange started happening all around them!
The countless fragments that had been whizzing around his body suddenly began to coalesce and combine.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh…”
Fang Yu and Leng Xun stood among these fragments, watching as countless pieces filled the gaps in space one by one.
“Zeng!”
In a short time, these fragments actually coalesced into a complete scene!
The sky is a brilliant blue, cloudless for miles.
Sunlight is abundant, bathing the earth.
Beneath Fang Yu and Leng Xun’s feet lay a verdant expanse of green.
And right in front of them, they could see rows of little houses.
The squares, each with a unique shape and lacking any particular placement, were found scattered about. Some stood on slopes, while others sat at their base.
And every house had a garden in front and behind the door, used for planting vegetables.
This seems to be a very ordinary village.
This is Fang Yu’s memory of the village!
“…not to mention the fairy world, even after leaving Earth… there are few scenes like this anymore.”
Leng Xun followed closely behind.
They walked step by step forward until they reached the nearest bungalow.
The wooden door of the house was open.
Fang Yu and Leng Xun walked in.
Inside was a wooden table and a few bamboo chairs. They all looked like they were homemade.
Hand-knitted.
A plate with some dishes was still on the table.
Life is very vibrant here.
But oddly, there was no one inside or outside the house.
Except for this cottage, there was no one to be seen in the entire vista.
Not even insects or birds could be seen.
This small village is extremely quiet.
So quiet that… it was as if time had stopped.
Fang Yu and Leng Xun walked along the path between the villages, neither of them speaking, but silently observing their surroundings.
Where is this place?
Is this the ancient territory of humans? <<<
Although the current scene aligns with Fang Yu’s past understanding.
But it seems here there’s only an empty shell left.
“This is the ancient territory of the human race, isn’t it?” Fang Yu frowned and stopped.
“Perhaps it’s just a small part of the ancient human domain.” Leng Xunshuang said, “We can walk further and see what’s out there.”
“OK.”
Fang Yu agreed to Leng Xinshuang’s suggestion.
Then, the two of them flew into the air and quickly sped forward.
Along the way, they saw rolling mountains, springs hidden within the mountains, and in the distance, a sapphire-blue lake and lush green forests.
These scenes are all beautiful.
But they all seemed like a still picture, with no signs of life.
Not until Fang Yu and Leng Xun flew directly to a city did they return to the ground.
From the main avenue in the city, going forward you can see stalls on both sides, as well as some small goods.
But there were no pedestrians on the road, and there were no vendors at the stalls.
The entire city, except …
Besides these visible items, it was clearly also empty.
“We don’t need to go any farther. This is it,” Fang Yu said, stopping again and speaking in a low voice. “There’s nothing else here besides these dead things.”
Leng Xun’s eyes flickered, and he said, “If we have truly returned to the past, then this is the ancient territory of the human race.”
We can return to the ancient lands of humankind, but those who once lived here… are gone forever.
“Is this the price of reversing time?”
Fang Yu looked around, his brows furrowed, and said, “If the Human Race Ancient Domain is just a shell, then what was the point of going to such lengths to hide it in the past?”
And, if reversing time only meant restoring inanimate objects to a point in time…then I would. Because it’s the least costly way, it doesn’t involve tampering with the laws of life at all.
“So… this place might not even be a genuine ancient human domain, just a meticulously recreated secret realm modeled after what an ancient human domain once looked like.”
When Fang Yu spoke, Leng Xun’s eyes lowered, his gaze somewhat complex.
These lifeless things are not worth studying. What’s sold at stalls are just trinkets and baubles.
Fang Yu crouched down and picked up a stone jar from the stall in front of him, examining it carefully.
To be honest, he only felt very disappointed right now.
Before arriving at the human ancient domain, his mood was very excited.
He originally thought he could get in touch with some of the true past of human beings.
After all, to him, the so-called peak of human civilization… had always been just a legend, just a saying.
Fang Yu had no concept of this.
