Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1827 - 497: Operation Logs, Blank Divine Skills (5k)

Yu Ziqing initially believed he was forced into seclusion for contemplation.Once he grasped the enormous amount of information that flooded in at that moment, he realized he hadn't died; it was sheer luck.

What more could he ask for?

Unexpectedly, amongst the chaos, he found a part of the operation logs of the Ancient Sea God.

Yu Ziqing couldn't help but laugh; does the Ancient Sea God know about this?

He knows he's fiddling around, not expecting that even passing gas is recorded here.

Yu Ziqing continued sorting through the complex information.

That tangled mess slowly began to unravel under Ziqing's efforts, transforming into scattered jigsaw pieces, marked and ready for future assembly.

Trying to piece them together simply by timeline is wishful thinking indeed, as there's no precise timestamp on every image corner.

In just one day, it's as if the entire world shattered into countless fragments, piecing together one day is an immense, complex project.

The operation logs of the Ancient Sea God are actually the easiest.

Because his operations are independent of the present world, riding the waves of the River of Time.

That amount of information is like a single drop compared to the vast ocean, and still a particularly evident drop that won't blend in; it's quite simple.

The best part is, at that time, Yu Ziqing mainly spied on the individual Ancient Sea Gods standing on each wave crest.

The entry point is all those Ancient Sea Gods, with the incoming information centered around each one.

Yu Ziqing felt he was close to finding a way to quickly tackle this immeasurable flood of information.

He started by finding the various operation logs of the Ancient Sea God and independently piecing them together.

Each point is the starting point for a large jigsaw; once that's done, he uses each starting point to assemble a complete picture.

This should greatly improve efficiency and make things easier.

There's at least a bit of hope.

Otherwise, asking him to indiscriminately gulp mouthfuls of water until he drinks the ocean dry, then digesting it, would take who knows how many years.

He worked quickly, finding the most conspicuous drops in the vast ocean.

Each drop was an operation log of the Ancient Sea God.

Each operation log corresponded to the various chaotic and jumbled information of that period.

He had no idea how much time had passed as he unearthed millions of operation logs in this chaotic sea of information.

He couldn't accurately count the specifics; there were just too many.

Just digesting these millions of operation logs already left Yu Ziqing's consciousness a bit muddled.

Inside were alteration successes that changed the course of events.

There were also more failed alteration logs, yet even these unsuccessful attempts had caused slight changes to reality.

Ultimately, the final outcome remained the original conclusion.

Only these could be recorded.

Those examples which failed outright from the start, without causing any alterations, were not recorded.

Standing from the perspective of time, if no detail changed, it equates to no change, leaving no trace.

It's predictable that most of the Ancient Sea God's alterations might have failed; the truly successful ones are very few.

If one considers the attempts at alteration, they could be billions, tens of billions, or even more.

Each alteration leads to a change.

And when an alteration undergoes the sedimentation and maturation of time, it eventually alters the outcome of a major event, inevitably affecting the trajectory of "now."

When "now" also becomes the past, it snowballs, progressively creating a greater advantage.

However, when Yu Ziqing examined these operation logs, he felt particularly overwhelmed.

He had many hypotheses before, one being that the Ancient Sea God's alterations might have changed the timeline.

But upon truly spying into the River of Time and seeing the Ancient Sea God's operation logs, he realized he overthought it.

The River of Time is perseverant, always moving forward.

The Ancient Sea God only altered the direction and manner of individual wave drops falling.

No matter the magnitude of an event, it's merely a wave in the boundless River of Time.

No matter the turbulence, it couldn't alter the flow direction; waves in the river, regardless of changes, remain within it.

This is the place capable of encompassing everything and anything.

Everything is driven forward.

The Ancient Sea God is no exception.

No one can make it reverse, nor can anyone make it stop.

Yu Ziqing sensed that this was the most invincible existence.

No matter how powerful one is, they're merely carried along.

Feeling this power made Yu Ziqing's heart gradually calm down.

He began to understand the Yang-destroying Devil's perspective when contemplating death; it truly is a profound beauty.

After long periods of enlightenment, one might feel both the harshness and helplessness, yet still be touched by the ultimate beauty of truth.

But unlike the Yang-destroying Devil, he never harbored thoughts of pursuing it.

He simply felt that the Ancient Sea God, who floats above the River of Time like a wild ghost without a True Body or True Form, might still be something that could be attempted to resolve.
