Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

The Holy Envoy Child heard these words and was struck as if by lightning, the whole person horrified, falling back in shock!

After a long moment, only then did he recover from his master’s words about dying, anxiously rushing forward, allowing the bone-chilling Moon God Pool Water to soak him, grabbing Ta You’s sleeve, anxiously saying, ”But Holy Master, but Holy Master, you haven’t seen Gu Changsheng yet, how can you say your mission is complete? You can’t die! You can’t die yet!”

Was his premonition really about to come true?

The day the mission was accomplished, would be the day his master ceased to exist?

But this reality, which the Holy Envoy Child was unwilling to accept, came too early! Too early!

Gu Changsheng has yet to ascend to the top of Star Innate Tower, the Holy Master has yet to see her face, how can he die so early?

”Tongtong, the purpose of my waiting for her, no, more accurately, the meaning of my existence, Divine Venerable Ancient Wilderness’s waiting, was for the formation of this Memory Crystal Ball!”

”Gu Changsheng has already set off north, in this world, only she alone can enter the Divine Demise Land, to unlock the Goddess Palace! This is destined, and it is also her fate!”

”I have in this Star Innate Tower, stained my hands with endless blood, killed countless people, gathered the Power of Faith, just so that I could hold on until the day she arrives, she who will inherit the will of Ancient Wilderness Supreme Deity, becoming the last Divine Venerable in this world!”

Saying this, Ta You, filled with sorrow, raised the Memory Crystal Ball in his palm towards the bright moon in the boundless starry sky, with a regretful smile on his face, ”What she pursues, her wish for her parents to be together, when the truth is revealed, may not be as she wishes, but with this segment of memory, she will ultimately not escape the arrangement of fate, even if she originally did not wish to, she will after seeing these memory scenes compromise, Divine Venerable Ancient Wilderness, really is... hehe...”

Saying this, Ta You let out a self-deprecating light laugh, on the pale little face, a look filled with helpless sorrow, gazing at the Memory Crystal Ball in his palm that she could not obliterate, a heart filled with pity...

”Tongtong, tell Gu Changsheng, in the Divine Demise Land, there is everything she seeks, the fulfillment she pursues will have an end, all truth will also be unveiled by her!” Ta You said, gently placing the Memory Crystal Ball in the Holy Envoy Child’s hand, raising his hand, rubbing the hair bun on the Holy Envoy Child’s head, softly saying, ”Hold onto this Memory Crystal Ball, follow Gu Changsheng, wait for her to gather the map to enter the Divine Demise Land, and unlock the Key to the Goddess Palace, once the Goddess Palace opens, and Gu Changsheng knows the day of all divine enthronements, only then hand this Memory Crystal Ball to her!”

”But Holy Master, can’t you not die? If you don’t want to face Gu Changsheng, can’t we find a place to hide? Can’t we ignore all this?” The Holy Envoy Child’s face was full of tears, shaking his head, refusing to accept Ta You’s last arrangements.

Since he was born, he has always followed by Ta You’s side, Ta You was his sky, his earth, his everything.

His master Ta You, was pitiful enough, why must he also meet with a death ending?

”Tongtong, I am the continuation of the will of Divine Venerable Ancient Wilderness, the obsession of Divine Venerable Ancient Wilderness condensed. The day her wish is fulfilled will be the day I disappear, I have no more value and meaning in existence, I can no longer live...” Ta You looked at the Holy Envoy Child, who would not accept the Memory Crystal Ball, a smile of release on his little face, slowly speaking.

All of this is ultimately happening according to the arrangement of Divine Venerable Ancient Wilderness...

No matter what changes she wants to make, no matter how she struggles, she cannot escape...

”My disappearance also means the complete vanishing of Divine Venerable Ancient Wilderness, even her will and obsession will no longer exist, from this henceforth, there will be no more Divine Venerable... no more Ancient Wilderness...” Ta You said, once again placing the Memory Crystal Ball into the Holy Envoy Child’s hand.

This time, no matter how the Holy Envoy Child struggled, she resolutely entrusted it to him.

”Remember, only wait until the day of Gu Changsheng’s divine enthronement, this Memory Crystal Ball can be handed to her, this memory is a burden she cannot endure, do not harm her...” Saying this, Ta You’s mouth curved into a sorrowful smile, murmuring on, ”Actually, this segment of memory was originally meant to harm her...”

It’s just that even she is already powerless to reverse the heavens, unable to make any changes!

”Holy Master! Holy Master, don’t scare me! Don’t die! Let’s take this Memory Crystal Ball and leave together, leave this Star Innate Tower, leave this Astrolabe Platform, let’s not stay here anymore, let’s not care about any of this anymore, I just want you to live well, just live well!” The Holy Envoy Child held the crystal ball in his arms, crying bitterly.

Although he had already had a premonition that perhaps one day he would lose the most important person in his life, when that day really came, the Holy Envoy Child still felt the sky was collapsing, feeling as if he did not know what to do!

”My Tongtong, this world still has you, remember that I once existed, and that you will remember me, this is already the last trace I can leave in my desolate life, I should thank you...” Ta You looked at the Holy Envoy Child in front of him, unable to cry his heart out, a small face filled with comfort and reluctance, raising a hand to stroke his cheek, a single tear falling, ”I should have no heart, no thought, no desire, no demand, yet unwilling to be controlled by mission, shackled by fate, I wanted to stop Gu Changsheng, wanted the mission not to be accomplished, to live long and long, even if it is to live so desolate, hands full of blood, I also wanted to live, but all of this, ultimately did not go as I wished...”

”I could not stop Gu Changsheng, could not help her, nor save myself, could not change anything controlled by the obsession of Divine Venerable Ancient Wilderness, all I can do is accept death with open arms...”

”Tongtong, to me, death is perhaps not the worst release! Thousands of years of praying to the moon, ten years of sitting dry in the Cold Pond, a lifetime trapped by mission, I lived, never a day was for myself, when I die, all of this will finally come to an end! I no longer have to kill to gain the Power of Faith, no longer need to endure the Bone Chilling of the Cold Pond’s flush, no longer need to struggle in the wheel of destiny...”

”Child, do not mourn for me. For me, dying is truly a good thing...”

Ta You spoke, a faint golden light continuously gathered in his hand, and the golden dagger that had deprived Gu Changsheng of his memory appeared once again...

”Holy Master!” Ta You, clutching the Memory Crystal Ball, felt his heart tighten at the sight of the dagger and cried out in a strangled voice, ”Holy Master, what do you intend to do? What do you plan to do?”

”Gu Changsheng wants the Geomancy Map of the second Key imprinted on my body!” Ta You turned his head and gave a faint smile to the Holy Envoy Child.

Then...

He slowly raised the dagger in his hand and plunged it into himself...

In an instant, bright red blood mixed with a faint golden glow flowed from Ta You’s chest...

The blood stained the front of Ta You’s clothing red. Where the dagger passed, a piece of skin, along with flesh and blood, was continuously sliced away from Ta You’s own body...

The Holy Envoy Child’s eyes were instantly filled with the bloody scene, and he cried, howled, and refused...

”No! Don’t do this! No!”

”Holy Master! Holy Master, don’t do this!”

”...”

Yet, no matter how the Holy Envoy Child cried, Ta You’s actions of cutting away his own flesh did not stop...

Since everything is destined, and fate cannot be changed, then as Ta You is about to disappear, how could she become a hindrance on Gu Changsheng’s path?

Everything Gu Changsheng wants, she will give to her!

Including this very skin of her own!

This skin bears the imprinted Geomancy Map!

Once large areas of skin from her front and back were peeled away, Ta You had already become a man of blood...

The gray-white long hair soaked in the continuously seeping blood from his body appeared extremely sinister, yet on her intact face, a face identical to Gu Changsheng’s appearance, she bore a serene smile as she gently reached out, handing the still-blood-dripping Human Skin Geomantic Chart in front of the Holy Envoy Child, softly saying, ”Give this Geomancy Map to Gu Changsheng. With it, she can find the second Cold Iron Key of the Goddess Palace Key!”

”No! No! Holy Master! No! No! You must reattach this skin and flesh! Attach it back! Wuuu...” At this moment, the Holy Envoy Child had already turned into a weeping mess, lunging forward to embrace Ta You’s bloodstained body, wailing in agony.

”Child, do not mourn, my mission is complete, my life force is fading, and death is inescapable!” Ta You gently pushed aside the Holy Envoy Child who was holding onto her, letting her entire body continuously sink into the Moon God Pool...

”Holy Master! Holy Master, what are you doing? Come out!” Seeing this, the Holy Envoy Child slapped at the bone-chilling pool water, crying out loudly in desperation, trying to pull his master out of the Moon God Pool, but the icy water rendered him powerless!

”I promised an insect to reshape a Body of God for it, but it seems that alive I can’t accomplish this. Child, I will use my flesh to forge a Divine Body anew. When Gu Changsheng ascends to the tower’s top, it will be the day the Insect God’s body is reforged. Remember to give the crafted shell to it. Unfortunately, my lifespan currency is exhausted, and the Divine Body forged from my Demigod Body will never be a True God Body. What help I can provide ends here; the world’s final Divine Venerable can only be her, and only her...”

Ta You’s voice gradually disappeared within the Moon God Pool...

Leaving only the Holy Envoy Child, holding a Memory Crystal Ball in one hand and a Human Skin Geomantic Chart in the other, kneeling by the Moon God Pool, watching the tumultuous waters, crying rivers of tears!

And when Ta You’s figure was completely submerged by the Moon God Pool Water, the top layer of the Star Innate Tower, that timeless starry sky, gradually dissipated, vanishing into the boundless heavens...
