Within the space-time tunnel, a figure slowly appeared.
Lin Chuan walked out from within, his expression calm, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Lin Chuan return, Lin Xue's eyes were filled with joy, while Lin Chuan revealed to her the smile only a father would have for his daughter.
He could be considered to have returned without disappointing her, having resolved all the trouble.
Seeing Lin Chuan return alone, Chronoa at the side clearly felt an indescribable feeling.
Aeos really still failed to escape disaster. The ending was that she was destroyed by Lin Chuan.
As the former Supreme Kai of Time, she kept saying she was maintaining the stability of space-time, but in reality, she was the greatest source of disaster.
After this incident, Chronoa was no longer as confident as before.
She did not know whether she would become tomorrow's Aeos, or perhaps in the future, she might also do something like that.
After sighing in her heart, Chronoa took the initiative to step forward and speak to Lin Chuan: "Thank you, Lin Chuan. Without you, the Time Nest today probably truly would have ceased to exist."
"I only did what I should do, and that woman was the one who stood out first and blocked my path! Besides, I didn't do any saving. You were the one who used Light Power and space-time power to save the Time Nest." Lin Chuan did not care about this kind of gratitude at all.
To be honest, he could sense the special resistance Chronoa had developed toward him.
It should be because he destroyed Aeos, causing Chronoa to instinctively feel that he was the greatest uncontrollable factor.
Of course, Lin Chuan would not care about what Chronoa did. As long as she did not hinder him, then no matter what she did, it did not matter.
Facing Xiao Xue, Lin Chuan spoke again: "Xiao Xue, this time no one can stop you from going home."
Hearing this, an even stronger excitement grew in Future Lin Xue's heart. In truth, she had longed for this moment for a very long time.
Even though that home was the home of the past, in her eyes, it was still her home.
The dad and mom of the past were also her dad and mom.
Spiritual reliance was sometimes this simple and direct.
Even if one comprehended space-time power and realized that every space-time world was independent and special, some basic beliefs still could not be changed.
For example, no matter what kind of space-time world Future Son Gohan went to, whether past or future, when he saw his dad Kakarot and his mom Chi-Chi, he would still recognize them as his dad and mom.
"Although I also really want to go home quickly and take a look, before that, can we go back a little later? Dad." Future Lin Xue suddenly asked, making Lin Chuan a little surprised.
Only then did he remember that his future daughter was not a machine. She had her own thoughts, and she also had things she needed to do.
"Of course. Whenever you want to go back is fine. Before that, Dad will wait for you." Lin Chuan nodded.
First, this was out of respect for Future Lin Xue, giving her enough time.
Second, he was not in a hurry to go back either.
After consecutively experiencing these two great battles, plus the unknown amount of time he had spent traveling through various space-times before, he had comprehended an even higher realm.
Especially the final battle. Seeing his future self through that method had an impact that was not comparable to ordinary enlightenment.
There was also the difference he felt while staying in the shattered Time World and recovering his strength.
If that damaged Time World had not been unsuitable for him to break through in, the current him should have been able to advance another step.
The most crucial reason was still that time did not flow inside that realm.
He truly confirmed this point through the system. After all, the system increased battle power every second, and it would only stop in a place without the concept of time.
Lin Chuan now needed a place suitable for him to cultivate, absorb, and attack an even higher realm.
Perhaps he would create an entirely new domain, or perhaps he would advance to another level.
As for exactly what would happen, he would only know after doing it himself.
...
The entire matter completely ended here.
Even various hidden dangers and problems had been resolved because of Lin Chuan.
The Time Nest had never had such a high-spirited atmosphere as it did at this moment.
Without question, the powerful enemies that had always been difficult to resolve, and even even more powerful existences, had all been dealt with.
To all the Time Patrollers, this was undoubtedly like being freed.
Even if some clowns would still commit evil in space-time, from now on, they no longer had to be trapped by the Dark Demon Realm or restrained by Demon Gods like before.
Laughter and cheerful voices continued. Under Chronoa's preparations, all the Time Patrollers, along with Lin Chuan and Piccolo, held a grand banquet on the Time Nest's plaza.
This was to celebrate victory, and also to welcome a brand-new future.
During the banquet, Lin Chuan naturally became the focus, but Lin Chuan had always been like this.
At least in this timeline that belonged to him, he had always been the central figure.
It was just that in the past, the warriors of his own space-time world surrounded him, while now, it was warriors from various destroyed future space-time worlds.
After the banquet ended, the Time Nest gradually returned to calm.
Although the great battle had ended and the enemy had been terminated, as Time Patrollers, the aftermath work could not be ignored.
Future Goku, Future Raditz, and Future Vegeta spoke a few words with Lin Chuan, but they did not choose to continue recuperating for a period of time and instead left the Time Nest.
In their words, now that matters here were over and they had witnessed a higher realm, instead of wasting time here, it would be better to repair the distortions between space-times while seeking a breakthrough.
After they obtained enough power, they would meet him again and challenge him.
Before they left, Lin Chuan also received a friendly reminder from them. No matter what, he absolutely must not go do anything special alone or go to any special place alone. Otherwise, perhaps he would also disappear like the versions of him from other space-time worlds.
Regarding this, Lin Chuan had already thought about it.
After all, he had been to quite a few space-times, and among these space-times, many belonged to worlds several years or even ten years in the future. As long as it involved the future, his existence was absent.
With them taking action first, the others also bid farewell to Lin Chuan one by one.
It was worth mentioning the three-person team formed by Future Trep, Future Trunks, and Future Son Goten. They seemed to have received some kind of message and needed to go to a designated space-time to eliminate some trouble.
It could be seen that these troubles had been left behind before the great battle began.
Among the few people left in the end, Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta from the Xeno timeline were relatively outstanding.
This time, they once again failed to seize the opportunity to catch Fu. If they went back, they would truly return empty-handed again.
After thinking it over, they decided to stay for a while, and also obtained the agreement of Chronoa from both timelines.
Toward them, Lin Chuan had a special favorable impression.
After all, they belonged to Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta from the original world of another timeline.
Moreover, they had met before and even fought once.
Taking this chance, they also asked Lin Chuan for some advice about cultivation.
Having people to discuss cultivation with was something Lin Chuan could not ask for more. Even if he gave more, it did not matter.
At his level of power, he actually greatly needed to gather ideas from others, especially since they could indeed bring Lin Chuan some useful information.
...
On this side, Lin Chuan was chatting enthusiastically with Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta.
On the other side, Piccolo and Future Son Gohan were sitting close together.
Through their conversation across space-time, after Piccolo learned about Future Son Gohan's experiences, he felt quite emotional.
Unable to bear it, Piccolo even suggested that Future Son Gohan return with him.
As long as Future Son Gohan agreed, he would go speak with Lin Chuan. With the relationship between them, taking Future Son Gohan away should not be a problem.
Mainly, bringing one person was bringing someone, and bringing two was also bringing someone.
"I appreciate your kindness, Uncle Piccolo. It is enough for Xiao Xue to go to your world. Rather than excessively caring about the past, it's better to let things take their course. Becoming a Time Patroller is also a brand-new beginning for me. I… will live on in my own way!"
Future Son Gohan politely declined Piccolo's suggestion and promised Piccolo that his future would be very wonderful.
Piccolo was not angry after being rejected. Instead, he felt gratified because of Future Son Gohan's performance.
Future Son Gohan was far more mature than Son Gohan from his own space-time world.
Of course, he was also indeed much older in age.
"Since you have already made your decision, then you must grasp your own future, Gohan." Piccolo said earnestly.
"Mm." Future Son Gohan nodded.
Actually, he was already very happy now, being able to meet Uncle Lin Chuan and Uncle Piccolo.
...
Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already two hours later.
The Time Nest returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Under Chronoa's arrangement, she prepared accommodations for Lin Chuan and Piccolo.
Rather than calling it accommodations, it was more like an independent space. The area was extremely spacious, similar to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
However, this was not the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but a place in the Time Nest used for secluded cultivation and breaking through strength. It was just right for Lin Chuan and Piccolo to use.
At this moment, Lin Chuan and Piccolo were sitting before a wooden table, discussing this experience as well as their next plans and intentions.
Actually, up to now, the main purpose of this space-time travel had already been completed.
However, there was still one threat that had indeed not been erased, because aside from bringing Lin Xue back, they also had to find that Fu and destroy that Fu.
To Lin Chuan, this time he actually intended to kill both Fu from the two timelines and thoroughly eliminate these two pests.
After all, the unstable factors surrounding these two were too many. If they really caused some uncontrollable mess in the future, then the problem would be expanded.
Of course, one Fu was not actually regarded as a threat by Lin Chuan, but two Fu were different.
"Old Lin, regarding that Fu, what are your plans now?" Piccolo asked.
"Originally, I was quite anxious, but just now I chatted with Kakarot and Vegeta from the other timeline for a long time. Since they are already searching with all their strength, and since there is no longer the Dark Demon Realm to cover him, I believe he will be found soon. As long as they find him, even if they are no match for him, they can ask me for help. I have already left space-time marks on them." Lin Chuan said.
"So that's how it is! I thought you hadn't prepared anything and planned to let him go." Piccolo crossed his arms, wearing a relieved expression.
Now that the final problem was resolved, Piccolo no longer had any psychological pressure.
The two chatted casually, which counted as completely summarizing this experience.
Of course, neither of them would do anything else today, because even for them, after consuming so much energy, they would feel exhausted and needed rest.
...
Time flew by. Before they knew it, it was already the next day.
After a day of rest, Lin Chuan and Piccolo's mental strength had recovered to peak condition.
Because his mental strength had recovered, Lin Chuan also began cultivating law power again.
Regaining something after losing it was far more difficult than imagined. However, Lin Chuan did indeed manage to cultivate it successfully again.
And he achieved it in an extremely short time.
Using the law of space and law of time he had regained, Lin Chuan modified this mini-world.
Most importantly, he arranged a layer of Time Domain belonging to him.
Thus, this world was no longer a mini-world attached to the Time Nest, but a mini-world belonging to Lin Chuan.
The flow of time inside was greatly different from the outside world's, and it could be controlled according to Lin Chuan's own needs.
"That's it?" Piccolo stood to the side watching everything Lin Chuan did, feeling a scalp-tingling sensation.
Because the feeling Lin Chuan gave him now truly seemed almost omnipotent.
"More or less. There's still one final step. How about it? Do you want to cultivate together next?" Lin Chuan smiled, nodded, and invited Piccolo.
"Cultivating together with you is unnecessary. After all, the gap between you and me is too large now, and I also need to comprehend my own law power." Piccolo tactfully declined Lin Chuan's invitation.
The pressure of cultivating together with Lin Chuan was simply too great. Although he would gain a lot, it would also prevent him from fully stretching his hands and feet.
Moreover, his path was already different from Lin Chuan's. Cultivating together would likely not be very effective.
"Since that's the case, I won't force it. If you encounter any problems during cultivation, you can ask me anytime. After all, my understanding of laws is several steps ahead of yours." After Lin Chuan spoke, he took the initiative to separate from Piccolo.
With a wave of his hand, another golden light suddenly appeared.
Space-Time Domain!
Like a giant cocoon, it wrapped around Lin Chuan.
...
Piccolo looked at this scene and immediately felt shocked.
Under the isolation of this cocoon, it seemed to separate this world from the world inside the cocoon again, with neither affecting the other.
"So this is the cultivation ground you created? I really was naive! However, this is not what I should be worrying about. The current me also needs to begin comprehending." With a wave of his white battle robe, Piccolo walked toward the empty land ahead.
In this battle, he had not actually contributed much power, but after experiencing this great battle, first, he realized his own flaws, and second, he also understood which direction he needed to walk toward.
Therefore, if he succeeded this time, he would not dare say his strength could catch up to Lin Chuan, but at least he could catch up to a portion of him.
