Wandering Gods of Day and Night

The Heavenly Official saw these three arrows and immediately discerned their significance.

"Using the Time Law to shoot arrows?"

He hurriedly raised both hands high, like a devout believer, with a section of his spine radiating a golden brilliance.

"I will use my Divine Status to command the earth and shift mountains to block the arrows."

This is the power of a God.

The God of the Heavenly Dome in a certain domain can control the natural elements of that domain, able to move mountains, control water, summon winds, and call rain...

Once he unleashed the divine power, the White Cliff Mountain range rumbled, and the dozens of kilometers long mountain range was lifted into the air.

Then, when the Heavenly Official clasped his hands together, the mountain range curled up like a massive stone-earth belt, wrapping him completely.

Could White Cliff Mountain block Lord Jian's arrows?

The Heavenly Official naturally didn't have that confidence, and starry glimmers once again stained his index finger.

He was making a Prayer to Qunxing.

"Several stars, block the three Divine Arrows."

Once the Heavenly Official deployed his defensive measures, Lord Jian loosed the arrow,

and the bowstring produced a crisp sound,

yet among the three arrows, only the second one was released.

Simultaneously, Lord Jian's figure disappeared. He appeared five years ago, drew his bow with three arrows, and, upon releasing, only the "New Copper Arrow" was shot out.

He had returned to the past, and the arrow naturally reverted to its earlier days, like an arrow freshly made in a copper workshop.

Following that,

Lord Jian's figure vanished again. Returning to reality, he traversed five years into the future once more,

where he shot three arrows again in the future time-space, and this time, only one rusty arrow was released.

Three arrows: one from the present, one from the future, and one from the past.

The arrow shot from the past, while flying through mid-air, suddenly encountered an old Daoist riding a donkey five years ago.

Holding a horsetail whisk, he swung it towards the direction of the arrow, and time-space seemed to freeze, causing the arrow to stop naturally.

"By enhancing it with some Incense Fire Divine Dao power, this doesn't count as breaking the 'Master's rules."

He gently brushed the horsetail whisk along the arrow, causing it to become covered in a wealth of archaic runes.

Then, as the incense fire Taoist retracted the whisk, the arrow surged forward with increased force, following its original trajectory.

"Qunxing protects my divine form."

The arrow from the future retraced from the Time-Space World back to reality, its tip appearing directly in front of the Heavenly Official's face.

"Stars rise."

Stars lit up before the Heavenly Official and simultaneously rushed towards the arrow, in a collision that managed to carve a tunnel through the mountains of White Cliff Mountain.

This pathway seemed to be within Lord Jian's expectations. He crossed his arms and said, "The second arrow should be arriving."

The second arrow was the reality arrow. It shot along the path opened by the Heavenly Official's stars, unimpeded by the White Cliff Mountain range, bursting through the passage.

"Teng Jian, your understanding of the Time Law indeed has some profundity."

The Heavenly Official hadn't anticipated that the path he created would become a window for Lord Jian's arrow.

When the second arrow reached the Heavenly Official, he drew a Daoist Talisman in the air,

and then the Qunxing in front of him, in accordance with the talisman's rule, arranged itself into a Star Map on the talisman.

The reason the Heavenly Official is known as the Heavenly Official is his ability to make Prayers to the stars, utilizing them for his needs.

This Star Constellation Charm was meant to ensnare Lord Jian's reality arrow.

The reality arrow, with its heavy and forceful momentum, surged towards the Heavenly Official, yet was intercepted by the Star Map.

This Star Map, acting like a highly elastic net, managed to diffuse most of the force of the reality arrow after continued stretching and deformation.

At the same time, the stars on the map shifted positions, releasing extremely yin and gentle energy in the process, which melted the reality arrow into a mass of red copper,

indicating that this arrow seemed to have reached the end of its power, incapable of inflicting further harm on the Heavenly Official.

"Both arrows have been blocked, where's your third arrow?"

"Old Arrow has died; New Arrow is born. Heavenly Official, let's see how you'll block my third arrow."

Lord Jian smiled confidently, simply watching as,

from the molten copper in the Star Map, the third arrow suddenly emerged, the one that had been shot from five years ago.

This arrow was robustly powerful and had grown out of the Star Map; while the second arrow was stopped by the Star Map, having grown old, simultaneously, the star power of the map had been exhausted,

allowing the third arrow to be born from the Star Map, which was already too weakened to block it.

The arrow pierced through the Star Map, spinning towards the Heavenly Official's throat.

"Teng Jian, can you foresee the future and reverse cause and effect?"

Only then did the Heavenly Official realize that the first arrow opened the path for the second arrow's window for shooting, and the second arrow being blocked by the Star Map paved the way for the third arrow's killing strike.

Lord Jian had foreseen the future, with all three arrows born from the causes and effects of the future,

and this arrow, the Heavenly Official no longer had the power to resist, so he could only use the Mountain Shifting Technique, drawing the White Cliff Mountain closer to try to block the "Past Arrow."

How could an arrow from the future fear his mountain's protective shell?

The arrow, with overwhelming momentum, pierced through the mountain range and lodged into the throat of the Heavenly Official.

With a muffled sound, Lord Jian knew he had succeeded and was about to shoot three more arrows to finish off the Heavenly Official when suddenly, the body of White Cliff Mountain flew back,

like time itself was reversing—just as the Heavenly Official had moved the mountain, the mountain was moved back again,

exposing the Heavenly Official, unmistakably, to everyone present.

Not far from the Heavenly Official, there was a talisman, with each talisman character on it resembling a sharp nail, driving into the acupoints of the Heavenly Official's body.

With thirty-two talisman characters on the talisman, there were thirty-two nails, securing the Heavenly Official firmly within the Daoist's body, and thoroughly restraining the Heavenly Official.
