When the petrified sky pillar of Yang Jian shattered, it was not rubble that spilled from the cracks, but the solidified river of time. Nezha, sweeping past the frozen waves on his Wind and Fire Wheels, saw the scene of Gonggong breaking Mount Buzhou captured within amber-colored crystals of time. Suddenly, a voice of Pangu resonated from within the crystal: "To slay the Dao is not the end; to martyr oneself for the Dao is the true beginning."
"Watch out for the backlash!" Sun Wukong swung his Ruyi Jingu Bang, shattering the shards of time lunging toward Nezha. The moment his staff touched the crystal, his Fiery Eyes of Truth revealed a horrifying scene: his own future self, wielding a Calamity-Extinguishing Supreme Treasure, slaughtering the monkeys of Flower-Fruit Mountain. His Somersault Cloud suddenly lost control, carrying him headlong into the ruins of the sky pillar, from which a fragment of Mending Heaven Stone fell, inscribed with the words: "Karma repays itself."
