[You''re more concerned about what Hu Jun said about "changing defense."]


    [Where are they going to change defense?]


    [Will changing defense reveal the true enemy?]


    [You''re somewhat looking forward to it.]


    [But that''s all forter.]


    [You don''t want to waste the current time.]


    [So you set your sights on the Ancient God realm expert who stayed behind to "apany" you.]


    [You smile and try to get close to him: "Fellow Daoist, may I know your name?"]


    ["Surname Jiang!"][Of course, you already know the name of this Ancient God realm expert.]


    [After all, you have the talent of Chaos Heavy Pupil.]


    [Not only do you know he''s called Jiang Chen, but you also know he''s over a billion years old.]


    [You''re trying to get close to him just to gather some information.]


    [Hearing his cold response, you don''t mind and continue: "Fellow Daoist, your surname is Jiang too! Mine is also Jiang, turns out we''re from the same family!"]


    ["Hmm!"]


    ["Fellow Daoist, do you think we can withstand this invasion?"]


    ["Don''t know!"]


    ["Fellow Daoist, why are there children in the Holy City?"]


    ["There are!"]


    ["Fellow Daoist..."]


    [...]


    [Unbelievable! You''repletely speechless!]


    [This one is truly sparing with words.]


    [If his response exceeds three words, he''s basically just making it up.]


    [For instance, when you asked why there are children in the Holy City, he actually answered, "There are"?]


    [Isn''t thatpletely off-topic?]


    [You realize it''s impossible to get any information from this one.]


    [So you don''t bother with him anymore; you start wandering around the Holy City on your own.]


    [Walking around and observing might help you learn something.]


    [Jiang Chen doesn''t stop you from wandering; he just follows you like an essory.]


    [Of course, you know this is just on the surface. If you show any intention of leaving the Holy City, he''ll definitely take action.]


    [Three days pass in the blink of an eye.]


    [During these days, you haven''t explored much.]


    [Because in this Holy City, you can''t shatter the void.]


    [You don''t know if this inability to shatter the void is due to the arrangement of a supreme being or a change after the world''s invasion.]


    [All you know is that because you can''t shatter the void and can only fly, your exploration speed is severely limited.]


    [As a result, after three days, you haven''t discovered much.]


    [The only thing you can confirm is that there are indeed many children and elders in this Holy City.]


    [Not just a few; there are many.]


    [A frontline city with few cultivators, filled with children and elders.]


    [It''s truly strange.]


    [Ten days pass in the blink of an eye.]


    [One day, Hu Jun and his group return.]


    [Upon closer inspection, their numbers have increased.]


    [You remember there were only eight of them when they left, but now there are thirteen.]


    [Clearly, they went to expand their team.]


    [You scrutinize the five new additions.]


    [Curious whether these people came voluntarily or were conscripted by Hu Jun and his group.]


    [At this moment, Hu Jun waves his hand at you and says, "Follow me, we''re changing defense!"]


    [Hearing this, you no longer care whether those five people came voluntarily or were conscripted.]


    [What does that have to do with you?]


    [You quickly follow in Hu Jun''s footsteps.]


    [One day, two days, three days!]


    [You keep flying within the Holy City, always heading towards the silver waterfall.]


    [You''re not surprised by this.]


    [Those monstrous fish emerged from the silver waterfall.]


    [That waterfall is clearly problematic.]


    [Could the truly formidable invaders also be at the waterfall?]


    [You didn''t see them before because it was too far?]


    [You can''t help but start thinking this way.]


    [Another seven days pass in the blink of an eye.]


    [You finally arrive in front of the silver waterfall.]


    [No, perhaps it can no longer be described as a waterfall.]


    [It''s a vast expanse pouring down from the void.]


    [Previously, it seemed like a waterfall only because it was too far away.]


    [Now, standing in front of it, you can clearly feel its grandeur.]


    [Although the silver "waterfall" is vast, your attention is not on it.]


    [You''re more focused on the people in front of the "waterfall."]


    [You see a crowd standing before the rushing water.]


    [They continuously wave their hands, releasing streams of chaotic energy to block the falling water.]


    [At a nce, there are at least hundreds of thousands of them.]


    [It''s worth mentioning that these people are all Divine Dao cultivators.]


    [While you''re still in shock, Hu Jun in front of you shouts.]


    ["Area 97, Hu Jun here to change defense!"]


    [Shortly after Hu Jun''s voice rings out, you see a middle-aged man in a certain area in front of the "waterfall" looking this way.]


    ["1, 2, 3... 15!"]N?v(el)B\\jnn


    [After counting your numbers, he shouts to Hu Jun, "Brother Hu Jun, I can still hold on. Come back when your team is full!"]


    [Just as the middle-aged man finishes shouting, a strong-looking man beside him, appearing to be in his thirties, spits out a mouthful of blood.]


    [Instantly, a gap appears in his defense.]


    [Silver water sshes onto that person.]


    [You see that person''s body begin to change.]


    [In a brief moment, he transforms from someone in his thirties to a white-haired elder with a furrowed brow.]


    [No, that''s not the key point.]


    [That person also loses all his power, bing a mortal.]


    [Seeing this, Hu Jun quickly starts directing people to fill the gap.]


    [Hu Jun''s reaction is already quite swift.]


    [But it''s still toote.]


    [After that person lost his defense, the pressure on the already strained people in Area 97 increased exponentially.]


    [Before Hu Jun could arrange for people to fill the gap, more breaches urred.]


    [Several people in session were hit by the silver water.]


    [You see that everyone hit by the silver water, without exception, loses all their cultivation.]


    [Afterward, they be either elders or children.]


    [At this moment, you finally understand why there are so many children and elders in the Holy City.]


    [It turns out they were originally soldiers.]


    [But due to a briefpse in defense, they became children and elders.]


    [Besides this,]


    [You also seem to know who the real enemy is?]


    [It''s not some powerful being.]


    [It''s the silver "waterfall" hanging in the void before you.]


    [This "waterfall" is the most terrifying existence.]


    [It can strip away one''s cultivation and make them older or younger.]


    [No, perhaps it''s not just that.]


    [This transformation, with your strength and talent, you can''t even tell that those elders and children were originally cultivators?]


    [That''s truly frightening!]


    [You must know, this is just from a ssh of water.]


    [If one were directly submerged by this silver "waterfall," it could be even more severe.]


    [Suddenly, you think of the silver river you saw in thest simtion?]


    [Could this silver water be rted to the waterfall?]


    [You previously spected that the silver river was the river of time?]


    [If this waterfall is rted to that river,]


    [Doesn''t that mean the water from the river of time has flowed back into this world?]


    [Instantly, you think of people bing older or younger?]


    [This seems to be the power of time?]


    [You look at the silver waterfall and murmur in your heart, "Could it really be that the river of time is leaking?"]
