Chapter 467 The Truth Wen Jin Investigated

Tianyuan Beast Forest.

Su Yan took out the giant python's corpse again and had Xiao Mei recreate the crime scene exactly as it was.

Zulu recalled what had happened back then.

Su Yan also showed him the video, in which Zulu stood at the location where the spatial rift appeared, closing his eyes to recall.

Su Yan sent a message to Wen Jin, telling her that she had returned and was in the Tianyuan Beast Forest.

Wen Jin arrived quickly.

He saw Zulu standing there alive, his eyes widening slightly, unable to hide his astonishment. "What happened to him?"

Su Yan didn't answer. "How's the investigation going?"

"I'm starting to see some progress. Where's my son?" Wen Jin looked at her thinner face; it seemed this mission wasn't easy.

"Taking the monthly exam at Jiushen Mountain."

"Where is Qing Linghuan?"

"Yes, what score did Xiao Fengning get on the last test?"

"4 points in math, 4 points in Chinese..."

"Yes, it's great that you're not weak in any subject, and there's a lot of room for improvement. You have great potential."

"..." Is this implying that his talent is not inherited well?

"What clue?"

"I want to go to Jiushen Mountain."

“Sure, I was thinking of asking you to come and help, but now there are more than a dozen children and only Qing Linghuan is looking after them.”

Wen Jin handed an envelope to Su Yan, "The one who killed Zulu should be the Time Sand Beast."

"Time Sand Beast? What is that?" Su Yan took the envelope and opened it, but there was nothing inside... No, there seemed to be some sand grains.

It was poured out. "Sand?"

“Yes. As long as it has appeared, it will leave a trace,” Wen Jin replied.

Zulu suddenly remembered something, "Yan Yan!"

Su Yan looked at him, "What did you say?"

“I remember now! The face of that man in black was Yan Yan’s face!” Zulu frowned, recalling carefully, “but that face was made entirely of sand.”

"Sand beasts can transform into countless forms. They can take on the most unguarded form of the Time Resurrectors and launch an attack."

"A time resurrected?" Su Yan asked in astonishment.

"Ten thousand years ago, time reversed. But reversal also has rules. For example, Ziqi was the Beast King, and he is still the Beast King. The Holy War still exists, and you are still the Holy Maiden. And the dead will still die, only the timing will be sooner or later. I went to the West District and learned that Zulu was once seriously injured by a monster and was on the verge of death. You saved him."

"Having survived a near-death experience, shouldn't we live on?"

"It's not as simple as you say. He's not an ancient divine beast, just an ordinary beastman with a timeline within him. I discovered that his timeline had been broken when I was in the Beast Emperor's Palace."

"You noticed it back then? Why didn't you tell me?"

"You're so happy, I've never seen you so happy. I'm asking you, is he your weakness?"

"When did you ask me that?"

[He asked, but the host was busy taking care of the child and didn't listen carefully.] Xiao Mei reminded Su Yan.

Su Yan: [...It was so lively back then, I definitely would have taken care of the children first.]

"Even if you ask me... you, just tell me directly, that's enough! I'll find a way to extend his timeline, or if that doesn't work, I'll give him my own lifespan."

"It's not a matter of lifespan, but rather that the God of Time Rules set timelines for all living beings except for the ancient divine beasts before time reversed, including the new gods. The Time Sand Beasts are puppets that the God of Time Rules scattered throughout the worlds."

“The God of Time Rules…” Su Yan frowned, “He didn’t sacrifice himself to reverse time, so how is he still alive?”

“Naturally, there are new time-ruling gods. The only uncertainty is which point in time this time-reversing destiny is based on. It seems, for now, to be at least after Zulu's death,” Wen Jin replied.

"Let me sort this out. The Timeline is a new time-rule master, designated at a certain node."

"Yes, those who live after this point are considered to have lived in accordance with the times, with their lifespan and timeline coinciding, and lifespan being the standard. Those who died before this point will not have their lifespan coinciding; they will be disconnected, forming a time barrier, which will become the target of the Time Sand Beasts."

"How do we investigate this timeframe? What about Zulu now?"

"That's what I find strange. Zulu's timeline and lifespan line are currently aligned, meaning he's perfectly normal. How did you manage that?"

"Buying your life with money."

"Spend money?"

"Zulu is out of danger now, isn't he?"

"Yes. But the Time Sand Beast still exists. I once asked Pei Xuan if there were any people who died before time reversed but are still alive now? He said that Xiao Qi's biological father beast was one of them."

[Xiao Mei, how is Rong Ruo now?]

Rong Ruo has already reached the early stage of the Saint Rank, which is great. He is now the Beast King of the Southern District.

[Can you see that timeline?]

[Cannot be seen.]

Su Yan looked at Zulu, who had already dismembered the giant python, and asked Wen Jin, "Are you sure he's out of danger?"

"If you're talking about the Time Sand Beast, then it's true it won't attack Zulu anymore. As for other dangers, I can't guarantee that."

"That's fine then. You're going to Mount Jiushen, right?"

"Yes."

“Alright, I’ll take you there.” Su Yan said to Zulu, “Let’s go back to Nine Gods Mountain.”

Zulu immediately replied, "Coming! I'll make some dried snake meat. I wonder if the children will like it."

“They like any kind of dried meat,” Su Yan said with a smile.

……

Jiushen Mountain was filled with the laughter of children.

Manman, with Xiao Shiba in tow, the two of them flying through the air while spewing fireballs.

Qing Linghuan's enormous nine-tailed fox form was incredibly intimidating, but at this moment she was playing happily with the children, acting like a giant cub.

Sensing that Su Yan had returned, Qing Linghuan flew over.

He was very displeased when he saw Wen Jin.

Wen Jin gave a forced smile, "Where is my son?"

"Alive." Qing Linghuan snorted, she had always disliked Wen Jin.

Su Yan ignored these two natural enemies and went to see the children with Zulu.

They originally thought it would take a while to investigate, but unexpectedly, they tried their best and, without giving Wen Jin any clues, he still managed to find out the truth.

But the Time Sand Beast is too strange.

"Zulu, you go check on the children first. I have something to take care of." Su Yan stopped in her tracks.

“I can’t help you with anything either.” Zulu raised his hand and scratched his head, looking ashamed.

Su Yan hugged him, "You are my anchor. You may not be able to solve all my worries, but with you by my side, I can overcome any difficulty with peace of mind."

“I’ll listen to you.” Zulu patted her back, his resolve to cultivate the Dao becoming even stronger.

Su Yan teleported back to Wen Jin and Qing Linghuan's side, where the two were still staring at each other with wide eyes... wide eyes!

Their eyes are quite big!

"Wen Jin, come with me. I need to confirm something."

"Get out of here, get out of here, this guy stinks!"

After Qing Linghuan finished speaking, she flew away.

Wen Jin ground his back teeth. "...Looks like there are too many tails!"
