Legendary Armament Canon

1082 The True Enemy, The Origin of Divine Stones (1)

After Zhou Shu heard what Shi Changsheng said, some of his doubts were answered.

When the Demon Realm invaded the Ten Nations, Zhou Shu had been a little puzzled. With Wang Xuanyi’s strength, had he joined the war, he might have been able to quickly resolve the Demon Realm’s invasion. At the very least, he would have been able to make the human race less passive.

But Wang Xuanyi never really dealt with the demonic beasts.

At the time, Zhou Shu knew that Wang Xuanyi and the others had another battlefield.

From the looks of it, this other battlefield should be to deal with the Nine Immortals.

Zhou Shu looked at Shi Changsheng and then at Wang Xuanyi. “Dealing with the Nine Immortals is such a huge matter. Only the two of you are involved?”

“There are only the two of us who can spare some time,” Shi Changsheng said seriously.

“The Nine Immortals are only the vanguard. The true enemy isn’t just the Nine Immortals.

“Apart from those who are seriously injured and sleeping, the remaining Grotto-Heaven Masters are busy mending the heavens.”

“Mending the heavens?” Zhou Shu was puzzled and subconsciously thought of Divine Stones.

“That’s right. If the Nine Immortals want to invade our world, they need a door. Just like how when the Demon Realm invaded the Ten Nations, the demonic beasts had to break the barrier between the two worlds first.”

Shi Changsheng continued, “It’s precisely because there’s a hole in our world that these things happened later. Since ancient times, various races have fought for countless years to mend this hole so that the enemy won’t have a chance to take advantage of us. At the very least, we have to resist the enemy outside the world!”

Shi Changsheng’s expression was solemn and extremely complicated.

Zhou Shu fell into deep thought. He verified Shi Changsheng’s words with his experiences. What he had found difficult to understand in the past was now acceptable.

After a while, Zhou Shu asked in a deep voice, “Was my return to ancient times also part of your scheme?”

“You’ve returned to ancient times?” Shi Changsheng’s and Wang Xuanyi’s expressions changed at the same time. “How is that possible?”

“Zhou Shu, have you fallen into an illusion?” Shi Changsheng asked. “How could you have possibly returned to the past? If we could turn back time, we would have returned to the past and repaired it before all this happened.

“But that’s impossible. What has already happened has already happened. No matter how high your cultivation is, it’s impossible for you to return to the past.”

Zhou Shu looked at the two of them. Their expressions were extremely serious, and they didn’t look like they were faking it.

It seemed that his return to ancient times had nothing to do with them.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Even with Zhou Shu’s current strength and the Heavenly Emperor Jade Book, he couldn’t turn back time. It was strange that he had returned to ancient times.

Perhaps only the divine ability that Ling’er had accidentally obtained could do this.

“Although I’m not sure how it happened, I’ve indeed returned to ancient times,” Zhou Shu said seriously. “Bai Qianqian is an ancient race. I came to this Origin World with her!”

“No one can solve the mystery of time. Isn’t there no past and future in this Origin World? If Brother Zhou really returned to ancient times, it’s not impossible,” Diao Moye said. “Should we consider what we can do if you really returned to ancient times?”

“It’s useless.” Wang Xuanyi shook his head. “Brother Zhou is in the past. If he really could change anything, then we should have changed. But the history we know hasn’t changed.

“In our history, there is no Zhou Shu, so I don’t believe that you have really returned to ancient times.”

“It’s not an illusion.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “I know very well whether it’s a dream or not. I’ve really returned to ancient times. Everyone I’ve met is alive.”

Shi Changsheng pondered and said, “Theoretically speaking, the river of time is irreversible. Perhaps something happened to you that we can’t understand. If you’ve really returned to ancient times, then everything you do should have an impact on the future.

“If you stop the demise of the ancient races, then theoretically, it may cause the human race to never appear in the world.”

Shi Changsheng’s expression was solemn. “The birth of the human race was after the disappearance of the ancient races. In this aspect, if the ancient races are not destroyed, there’s no need for the human race to be born…”

The few of them frowned. It was really difficult for them to accept that Zhou Shu had returned to ancient times.

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t figure it out.

“Is this possible?” Diao Moye said. “Brother Zhou has indeed arrived in ancient times, but the traces of his existence have been erased by some existence. That’s why we’ve never heard of his existence.”

“That’s possible.” Shi Changsheng and Wang Xuanyi looked up at the sky at the same time and nodded.

Shi Changsheng looked at Zhou Shu. “Tell us what earth-shattering things you’ve done in ancient times.”

He had interacted with Zhou Shu the earliest and knew that as long as he was around, many things would happen.
