Now that Mie Sheng had emerged, Jian Wushuang finally realized.

It was Mie Sheng!

He was the true mastermind behind the scenes.

As for the Inheritors, they would all destroy the temporal river because of Mie Sheng.

That was the real root of the problem.

So, the solution lay in dealing with Mie Sheng.

As for that Inheritor, they were no longer important.

The Temple of World Annihilation also had an Inheritor, perhaps someone from their side.

He didn’t need to worry about it.

Jian Wushuang sat cross-legged, no longer asking questions but sinking into silence.

To predict the future with such accuracy, who exactly was that being, and what cultivation realm had they reached?

“Oh, by the way, do you have any suitable candidates?” Zhen Ling turned to Jian Wushuang, steering the conversation away from the destruction of the temporal river.

The prospect of the destruction of the temporal river was still somewhat oppressive.

Jian Wushuang raised his head, looking at Zhen Ling. He did have a few suitable candidates in mind.

“What about Wu Zuo?”

When Zhen Ling heard the name Wu Zuo, he paused.

He hadn’t expected Jian Wushuang to mention Wu Zuo.

For a moment, Zhen Ling took in a sharp breath, unable to comprehend why Jian Wushuang would bring up Wu Zuo’s name. With astonishment, he looked at Jian Wushuang and asked, “How did you think of him?”

“I just feel that this person is not simple. Despite his ordinary strength, he managed to become a personal disciple of Qishen. Moreover, he has lived from ancient times to the present. Apart from Mie Sheng, he is the only ancient cultivator who has not fallen!”

After hearing Jian Wushuang’s explanation, Zhen Ling’s heart stirred.

Previously, he hadn’t really considered this question.

That Wu Zuo could survive until now, even drifting through endless Starry Sky with the Qishen Temple and arriving at this temporal river, without perishing.

His luck was simply too good.

Despite Wu Zuo’s current ill-fated circumstances, not even able to secure a position as a Palace Master, crossing the temporal river should have required at least a Tribulation Realm expert. For Wu Zuo, a mere supreme-peak, to survive until today was somewhat unusual!

“Put him on the list of candidates!” Jian Wushuang nodded, then continued, “We should also send Wanyan and Dongsheng over!”

This time, Jian Wushuang changed his approach, not intending to bring over all those super Inheritors.

It’s better to cultivate some who are more loyal.

Rather than ending up with a group of selfish individuals who might be difficult to command later.

Currently, Dongsheng and Wanyan both possess considerable strength.

Dongsheng has even become a supreme-peak powerhouse, catching up with the first group of emperors who entered the Qishen Temple.

Although they are temporarily not as strong as Zhen Wuyang and the others, they have great potential.

“I’ll dispatch their original selves, and there will be further tests for them in the future!”

Jian Wushuang naturally didn’t have much to say about this; everything was decided by Zhen Ling, he just gave a suggestion.

“Plus, with some people from the Grave God Mountain, it should be enough!” Jian Wushuang added.

Hu Qing, Gu Qianluo, Guangying, Zhen Wuyang, Tongtian Buddha, Shang, Dongsheng, Wanyan, Wu Zuo!

Adding Jian Wushuang, it’s exactly ten people!

“In a while, I will subject them to targeted tests; whether they can pass depends on them!” Zhen Ling also didn’t give Jian Wushuang a definite answer.

But this already satisfied Jian Wushuang greatly.

At least he won’t be alone in venturing into unfamiliar spacetimes; there will be some people accompanying him.

“Oh right, this time I’m leaving you with one more thing to do, I need your help with it!” Zhen Ling looked at Jian Wushuang and revealed his plan.

Upon hearing it, Jian Wushuang applauded.

The odds of success increased by another ten percent.

Revive the Qishen Temple!

In the second epoch since Jian Wushuang ascended the 65th level of the Grave God Mountain…

Within the God’s Tomb emerged a towering figure—a Tribulation Realm body.

Climbing out from the tomb, it stood amidst the chaos of the God’s Tomb.

Qishen!

Jian Wushuang had spent an entire epoch and exhausted countless lifeforces to finally revive the body of Qishen.

Zhen Ling also seamlessly entered Qishen’s body.

Hum!

The figure continuously shrank until it was the size of a palm.

Jian Wushuang stood in the chaos like a grain of sand compared to Qishen’s body, vastly inferior in both strength and size.

“Haha, with this body, I can break the Law Rules of the Qishen Temple and go to the temporal river!” Qishen exclaimed excitedly.

Previously, Zhen Ling couldn’t leave the Qishen Temple at all.

Now, with the revived body, not only did its strength soar to the Half-Step Seven Tribulation realm, but it could also freely enter and exit the Qishen Temple.

The worry about Mie Sheng also diminished significantly.

At the same time, they could confidently let Jian Wushuang and others go to other spacetimes.

It wasn’t that they were overly cautious, but there was one thing they were very clear about.

There was Life power within Jiang Shang’s body.

Perhaps Mie Sheng didn’t need Jian Wushuang at all to reach completion.

Thus, combining Death and Life to achieve the pinnacle of the Great Dao.

“Congratulations, My Lord, on your rebirth!” Jian Wushuang looked exhausted, but there was also joy in his heart.

He couldn’t bear all the burden alone. With the Zhen Ling reaching the Half-Step Seven Tribulation realm, it was indeed a significant trump card for dealing with Mie Sheng in the future.

Mie Sheng currently had no idea that the Zhen Ling had revived Qishen’s body.

When the time came, they could catch him off guard.

Wrapping the flesh of Qishen, the Zhen Ling, once stored within, looked at Jian Wushuang and smiled, saying, “Thanks to your Life power, otherwise, even if all the treasures of the Qishen Temple were exhausted, it would not have been enough to revive this flesh!”

Indeed, that was true.

Even with Jian Wushuang’s abundant Life power, it would take an epoch of time. One can imagine how immense the Life power required to restore Qishen’s flesh must be.

The treasures of Qishen Temple were lifeless.

Yet Jian Wushuang was alive, able to continuously generate Life power.

“It’s just something I should do!” Jian Wushuang shook his head.

This bit of help wasn’t much.

During this epoch, he continuously generated Life power, taking the opportunity to refine his control over it, killing two birds with one stone.

“Hmm?” Zhen Ling’s brows furrowed, his expression changing.

A breath came from the Grave God Mountain.

Sensing something amiss, Jian Wushuang also looked in the direction of the Grave God Mountain.

A new aura soared.

It was the power of the Tribulation Realm.

Someone had broken through!

“Let’s go, take a look!” Zhen Ling smiled even more this time, his eyes almost closed into slits.

Who says fortune never comes alone, misfortune never comes singly.

This time, it was truly double happiness.

The two instantly arrived at the peak of the Grave God Mountain. Among the 60th floors and below, a beam of light shot up into the sky, with a figure within.

“Shang!”

Feeling the other’s aura, Jian Wushuang wasn’t too surprised.

Shang was the first to break through, just as they had guessed.

There wasn’t much surprise.

However, with this development, Shang probably wouldn’t be able to enter other spacetimes with them.

This aura instantly alarmed many people.

They came out one after another to watch.
