Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Raising a hand to point at the skiff, the red-robed goddess with pale golden light points surrounding her was speechless, unable to utter a single complete sentence...

Gu Changsheng did not turn back; however, upon hearing Shi Wujue’s words, hearing the tone of his words, she became even more certain of the ominous premonition deep in her heart!

Her heart, was aching!

A pain so vivid!

Like being stabbed by a knife!

Gu Changsheng did not know why; she could only clutch her chest and watch the woman with arms wide open, shaking her head again and again, mumbling almost in a daze, ”No! No! No...”

What should not be done?

She did not know!

However, it felt as if there was a voice shouting in the depths of her heart that what this goddess was about to do was definitely not something she wished to see!

Or it could be said that deep in Gu Changsheng’s heart, at the depth of her soul, she was rejecting it!

A line of clear tears uncontrollably fell!

Gu Changsheng belatedly felt the coolness on her cheek, only then realizing that she was actually crying...

Why?

Was it for this goddess?

But, why?

She had never been one for melancholy and sentimentality, let alone shedding tears for a stranger, a stranger that existed in a now-vanished era!

Yet, she was indeed shedding tears!

Not only shedding tears, but her heart hurt as well!

”No! No! No...” The words escaped her mouth as if beyond her control, her face already dotted with tears, sorrow seemingly arising from deep within her heart, entirely beyond Gu Changsheng’s control...

As Gu Changsheng continued to shake her head, mumble, and shed tears, those shimmering holy golden flecks on the skiff suddenly flared up, shooting straight towards the Cangqiong!

The blazing light seemed as if it wanted to illuminate the entire sky, piercing Gu Changsheng’s eyes, causing vivid pain, and tears flowed uncontrollably!

”No! No, no...”

She continued to murmur, as if refusing all that was about to happen...

But what could her refusal change?

The scene before her, the goddess who moved her so deeply, was not in the same time-space with her at all...

That goddess was only a remnant of memories!

Yet Gu Changsheng was shedding tears profusely for this remnant existing within memory!

”Father God, when mortals face insurmountable dilemmas, they can pray to the deities for protection. But what about gods? Who can gods turn to?”

Suddenly, a helpless divine voice echoed faintly...

Tear-stained Gu Changsheng’s body suddenly stiffened...

Her gaze towards the goddess turned extremely bewildered...

”Father God, mortals can petition gods, but who can gods petition?”

Amidst the holy golden luminescence, the red-robed goddess looked up and murmured once more...

Endless compassion, desolate bleakness, eternal silence...

For a moment, Gu Changsheng seemed to be feeling the overwhelming helplessness in the goddess’s heart when asking this question...

No one could answer the goddess’s question, and amidst the vast sky, faintly visible was the luster of the gods’ battle, bearing the intention to decimate everything, at the end of the world, the collapsed mountains still stood, and as far as sight could reach, the surging waves still roared...

On the skiff were tormented beings, the sound heard was the weeping and wailing of the masses...

No one could answer the goddess’s questions...

No one knew who the Father God she spoke of was, nor could anyone provide answers to her questions...

Mortals can petition gods, but who can gods petition?

Deities were originally the supreme existence, let alone this goddess with the strength of a True God!

She not only stood at the peak of mortals, but also at the pinnacle of all gods!

However, even an existence as supreme as this could only helplessly question the heavens under the toil of the gods’ war!

The sky remained vast, the divine voice faint...

Silence, with no sound of response...

Through the tides of time, the world changed; even True Gods can be forced into a corner...

For humans pushed to the brink, only death is the release, but what about True Gods?

Besides destruction, what else could they do?

At this moment, Gu Changsheng suddenly understood why she instinctively uttered the word ”No.”

Because she seemed to have foreseen the choice this woman was about to make...

”Heavenly Dao is distant, human path is pervasive, creation unceasing, cause and effect never-ending...” From the skiff, the goddess’s divine voice sounded once more; this time, there was no more compassion, nor was there helplessness, only extraordinary calmness...

As if, her heart was already dead!

It seems, feelings are already severed!

It seems, it is truly decisive!

”In the name of the True God, I bless all the heavens!”

As expected, the unwavering divine voice, carrying determination and resolve, came once again from that small skiff!

”No! Don’t!”

As the divine voice fell, Gu Changsheng screamed almost hysterically, clutching her chest, as if it were being slashed by a knife. She stumbled forward a few steps and collapsed before the monumental waves, unable to move an inch further...

”No! Don’t! Don’t do this! Don’t do this!”

Tears fell like broken pearls, incessantly dropping down. Gu Changsheng shook her head, screaming hoarsely...

Refusal!

She refused to accept this reality!

But, could she refuse this?

What could she refuse?

All before her were past events that had already occurred, tales of the Ancient Wilderness Times that had long vanished in the river of time!

Yet this Goddess, who was to bless all heavens in the name of the True God, deeply stirred Gu Changsheng’s heart from within...

”In the name of the True God, I gather a lifetime’s power, stretching across the sky, to save the deities of the world from the atrocities of the divine battle!”

”No! No! Don’t!”

Gu Changsheng shook her head, tears flowing endlessly.

But she could only helplessly watch, watch the goddess on the skiff, the pale golden hair dancing behind her, soaring skyward the instant the divine voice fell...

Strands of pale golden hair all transformed into sparkling pale golden lights, sprawling across the sky...

The divine light waves of the divine battle never appeared again after this breath, no more waves of divine power, carrying endless killing intent, crashed down from the sky...

And on that small skiff, the red-robed True Goddess, her pale golden hair flying behind her, no longer showed a trace...

”Divine lifespan is boundless, neither born nor aging, immortal and indestructible, in the name of the True God, I bestow infinite lifespan on all living beings...”

At the moment this divine voice fell, the red-robed goddess on the skiff staggered, as if something was forcibly drawn out of her body...

Lifespan?

Did she lose her lifespan?

Gu Changsheng’s tear-filled eyes widened, unable to utter words of refusal...

It’s useless!

Even if she refused, even if her heart ached, she couldn’t change what had already happened...

It couldn’t be changed!

The lost lifespan, bestowed upon all living beings, can this goddess still live?

”By the blood of the True God, resurrect the world’s living beings, blood revives...”

”By the skin of the True God, relieve the world’s living beings of bodily pain...”

With these two divine voices resonating, Gu Changsheng clearly saw within the realm opened by the skiff, the originally breathless person lying on the ground, their injuries rapidly healing, and their silent heart beating again...

And looking back at the goddess standing on the skiff, her pale golden hair was no more, the blood-red dress long disappeared, leaving only...

Only...

Only a withered skeleton...

The strands of hair gathered over a lifetime, the infinite lifespan and flesh, this goddess had given everything for the beings of the world...

This goddess...

This goddess, truly made Gu Changsheng’s heart ache uncontrollably.

Even Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue, standing beside, watched everything unfolding before them, speechless...

Skeleton!

Only a skeleton, a white bone remained!

This goddess, should she stop now?

”Enough! Enough! It’s already enough!”

If even this white bone no longer existed, then what would be left of this supreme Divine Residence?

She had given her entire divine body, yet even mortals leave a corpse when they die. Would she not even leave a white bone for herself?

What is so significant about these living beings of the world?

She’s a True God!

The supreme True God!

She was supposed to be desireless and above everything, but for these living beings, for this world that originally had nothing to do with her, she gave up everything she had!

According to Shi Wujue, the reason this goddess appeared here, rather than on the battlefield of the Gods in the sky, was likely because she used some method to escape the divine battle that spared none. Yet, she escaped the divine battle only to choose this way, to give up everything, to give up herself...

”Enough! It’s already enough! Your Divine Residence! You are the supreme True God! What does the world’s beings matter to you? You should be above, devoid of all, isn’t it good to be a God who is beyond everything? Why give up yourself for these unrelated beings? Why? Even humans have self-interest, can’t gods have this too? Why couldn’t you be just a little bit selfish? Why be so cruel to yourself? That was all you had! Lifespan, flesh, the name of the True God, that was all you had. You gave up everything you possessed, your supreme divine position, your life-giving body, to save the beings of this world from devastation, what did you hope to gain? The gratitude of the world’s beings?” Gu Changsheng clutched her chest, lying before the monumental waves, shouting hysterically, nearly crazed, ”I tell you, they won’t! The people are cold-hearted, selfish, and they only care about themselves; they will not remember what a True God once did for them! They won’t be grateful to you, not even remember who you are...”
